Chapter 1991

When Zuo Xing spoke, Jiang Baihe's heart stirred; after all these years, the Pill King Immortal City has invested so much in Zuo Xing and his son— isn't it precisely for this?

Moreover, we never even considered letting Zuo Xing join the Cooking King Immortal City.

Now Zuo Xing himself offers such terms— how could Jiang Baihe's heart not be stirred?

Glancing at Zuo Jue on the arena below, rescue him and exchange for an obedient Zuo Xing.

Although the cost is great, at least this Bliss Token in hand will surely not be kept.

Afterwards, wanting the Bliss Palace Grand Ancestor to act again will be impossible.

But it seems not a loss.

Jiang Baihe quickly weighed the options, while Zuo Xing beside him saw his son lose another arm to Ye Zhangqing, his expression worsening, he was anxious as fire.

This Ye-surnamed brat's strike is truly ruthless to the extreme, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Fortunately, Jiang Baihe did not hesitate long, and spoke the next second.

"Good."

Hearing this, Zuo Xing hurriedly spoke.

"Act quickly."

Any later, he feared his son would lose his life.

Faced with Zuo Xing's urging, Jiang Baihe wasted no words, crushing the Bliss Token in his hand.

Seeing this, Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family Ancestor's expressions turned grim.

The next second, a spatial rift indeed appeared beside Jiang Baihe, and immediately a terrifying pressure emanated from it.

Accompanying this pressure's emergence, a gaunt, unsightly old man wearing a large-flowered robe walked out.

This old man is none other than the Bliss Palace Grand Ancestor.

Scanning the crowd with his gaze, the Bliss Palace Grand Ancestor smiled and said.

"Yo, what day is today, why are you all gathered here?"

"Cut the nonsense, first save the person."

Zuo Xing had no mind to waste words with him, and immediately spoke.

Hearing this, the Bliss Palace Grand Ancestor's smile did not diminish, he looked at Jiang Baihe and asked.

"Lord Jiang, are you certain? This old man only has one chance to act; are you sure you want to use it to save this brat?"

Speaking, he also glanced at the dying Zuo Jue below.

To this, Jiang Baihe nodded without hesitation.

"Certain."

"Good."

Seeing Jiang Baihe nod, the Bliss Palace Grand Ancestor wasted no words and immediately attacked the Heavenly Family Ancestor.

Seeing this, Zuo Xing also understood and simultaneously attacked Huang Lao.

Faced with the two's assault, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Huang Lao naturally could only retaliate.

But with this move, the pressure suppressing Zuo Jue naturally vanished.

On the arena, the retreating Zuo Jue felt the suppressing force on him disappear instantly.

Overjoyed, at the same realm, facing Ye Zhangqing, he had already despaired.

However, without the suppression, he recovered to the Immortal King realm, then he absolutely had a chance to win.

In an instant, the humiliation in his heart turned into blazing fury, and he glared hatefully at Ye Zhangqing.

"Ye Zhangqing, your time of death has come........."

As he spoke, his aura kept rising, but before his words finished, his cultivation fully recovered.

Only a blade flash was seen, Zuo Jue's head flew up, and simultaneously Ye Zhangqing flicked his finger, three clusters of Immortal Fire burst from his body and directly attached to Zuo Jue.

That terrifying temperature instantly incinerated Zuo Jue's physical body to ashes, which vanished.

"You dare........."

As Zuo Jue's physical body vanished, an angry roar came from the sky, indeed from Zuo Xing's mouth.

Meanwhile, Zuo Jue's soul left his body; that strike, because Zuo Jue's cultivation had recovered, Ye Zhangqing in haste could only annihilate his physical body but could not completely destroy his soul in one blow.

Allowing the opponent's soul to be preserved.

Strictly speaking, this does not yet count as successfully slaying Zuo Jue.

To this, Ye Zhangqing naturally would not relent; since the grudge is set, to cut the grass one must root it out, otherwise future troubles will be endless.

However, this time Ye Zhangqing was still slow.

Just as he was about to strike and annihilate Zuo Jue's soul as well, Zuo Xing in the sky, disregarding Huang Lao's attack, forcibly acted and returned Zuo Jue's soul.

The formation did not block the soul.

Feeling that his son's soul, though ultimately forcibly preserved, also suffered considerable injury.

Moreover, his physical body was completely destroyed, now he has fallen into an unconscious state.

In his hand he held a light orb—that was Zuo Jue's soul.

His eyes full of cold light, he glared hatefully at Ye Zhangqing, as if wanting to devour him alive.

However, in the end he still said nothing, turning his head starting from Huang Lao, his gaze sweeping over everyone one by one.

Finally landing on Bai Yuan and the two others, he gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice icy to the extreme.

"Good good good, I, Zuo Xing, have noted this matter; Cooking King Immortal City, you're impressive— this isn't over."

After speaking, he threw down a line.

"I'll wait for you in the city."

These words were for Jiang Baihe; without waiting for his reply, Zuo Xing, carrying his son's remnant soul, vanished into the sky above the Cooking King Immortal City, disappearing without trace.

As the Zuoxing father and son left, the remaining people naturally didn't make a move; Jiang Baihe, facing Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family's old ancestor, and Bai Yuan, the three performed a salute and said with a smile.

I'm also taking my leave.

I never thought of making a move to keep him; as for the last remaining Great Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace, it's even less likely to make a move against him.

The Heavenly Family's old ancestor also wouldn't help Cooking King Immortal City deal with the Great Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace.

Just before leaving, the Great Ancestor of Extreme Bliss Palace's behavior was very strange; he paid no attention to others, merely giving Ye Zhangqing a thoughtful look.

No one knows what he's thinking.

Finally, he and Huang Lao exchanged greetings, and then he left as well.

The matter thus came to a temporary end; on the arena, Ye Zhangqing ultimately still failed to truly slay Zuo Jue, shaking his head helplessly.

This is probably the first time; Ye Zhangqing genuinely felt that his strength was still insufficient, especially his cultivation.

It seems he'll have to work hard for a period of time; after coming to the Immortal Realm, his cultivation realm has become his weakness, his biggest shortcoming.

In the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, this had never happened before.

"What, you're not resigned?"

Just as Ye Zhangqing shook his head helplessly, Tianlin had already come to his side, asking with a smile.

Facing Tianlin's inquiry, Ye Zhangqing shook his head.

"Not really, this time won't do; next time then."

"Haha, that's how it should be; if I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time. To be honest, if it weren't for my family's old ancestor sending a voice transmission just now, I would have already.........."

"You little bastard, what the hell are you talking about?"

Tianlin was saying this to himself, but just as he reached the crucial point, the Heavenly Family's old ancestor's angry roar came from afar, and in the next second he appeared beside him, grabbing Tianlin's ear in one motion.

His eyes blazing with anger, he shouted.

"You little bastard, is your brain fried or have you taken on water? How can you say such things? You have no filter? You blurt out everything, you're a thing that drags down your ancestors."

"Ouch ouch ouch, old man, you're crazy—I haven't even said anything yet; what are you doing? Let go quickly."
