Chapter 2309: Leaving in such a hurry?

This message was sent by the Heavenly Family Head, its purpose being to remind the Grand Elder and his entourage not to speak recklessly in the Extreme Bliss Palace, lest they be detained.

The Third Holy Sons have died, and the Extreme Bliss Palace is surely furious; though not to the point of fighting to the death, their anger will certainly not be small.

"Alas, the Third Holy Son is a pity; I recall seeing him back then, and he truly possessed Tiānzòng zhī zī."

The Grand Elder was still sighing there, while the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace, seeing this, echoed in agreement.

"This is what they mean by affairs being unpredictable."

"Brother Huang, do you know who the culprit is?"

"For now I don't know, but the Extreme Bliss Palace will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let any culprit go."

"That's only proper; if needed, my Heavenly Family can also help with the investigation."

"Thank you, Brother Tian."

At that moment, the Elder who had received the Family Head's message was utterly stunned.

The killer is none other than our Heavenly Family's Young Master, and yet you still think it's appropriate and want to help investigate?

How to investigate? Investigate ourselves?

He was anxious inside, yet dared not make any move; this Elder's cultivation was inferior to the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace, and if he rashly sent a mental transmission to the Grand Elder, he feared the Palace Master would sense it.

So he could only restrain himself, hoping the Grand Elder would have someone to guard his lips and not blurt out everything.

During the following time, this Heavenly Family Elder was literally on pins and needles; with each word the Grand Elder spoke, his heart pounded thump-thump.

Fortunately, after the meal was over, he finally made it through unscathed.

After the party returned to the Dong Fu arranged by the Extreme Bliss Palace and confirmed there were no outsiders, this Heavenly Family Elder finally spoke with a look of lingering fear.

"Grand Elder, you really scared me to death just now."

"Huh???"

"What's wrong? I didn't do anything, did I?"

"The killer of the Third Holy Sons includes our Young Master."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder froze, thinking, "The killer is our Heavenly Family's Young Master? Then what I just said…"

Just thinking about what he had just said, the Grand Elder felt as if he had cursed himself, and moreover, it sounded awful.

He had merely intended to agree with the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace, but he never expected the culprit to turn out to be one of his own.

The Grand Elder silently stared at that Elder, the two facing each other wordless—what kind of situation is this?

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat eerily quiet; after a long while, the Grand Elder finally came to his senses and spoke softly.

"Quickly take in those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and withdraw."

"Yes."

The Extreme Bliss Palace will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly, as the Palace Master had clearly stated just now.

This place is no longer suitable for lingering; leaving is the best course.

The Grand Elder, however, was decisive; having regained his composure, he was already prepared to flee.

Of course, those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons cannot be abandoned either; the Grand Elder has come all this way—how could he return empty-handed?

The Grand Elder's guess was correct; after the banquet ended, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

"The Third Holy Sons went to Immortal Peak Mountain; there should be nothing within Immortal Peak Mountain capable of threatening him, so this matter is certainly Qīqiào—investigate, no matter what methods are used, I must get to the bottom of it and find out who dares to kill my Extreme Bliss Palace's Holy Son."

Upon hearing this, the Elder who had previously reported nodded respectfully in agreement.

The next day, at dawn, the Grand Elder took the initiative to come to the door; seeing this, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace looked doubtful and said.

"Brother Tian, why are you here so early?"

"Brother Huang, I'm not here to prepare to receive the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, am I?"

"This......................"

"Perhaps Brother Huang here isn't ready yet."

"He's certainly ready; it's just that Brother Tian doesn't need to come so early."

The Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace was somewhat doubtful; this old coot came as soon as dawn broke—is he really in such a hurry?

In response, the Grand Elder casually came up with an excuse.

"Alas, I have no choice; there are some matters in the clan, and the Family Head keeps urging me to return."

"In that case, I'll have people start here, Brother Tian, and you also have your clansmen come along."

"Sure thing."

Receiving the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons is not troublesome; the main thing is to hastily inscribe a Seal Formation Disk so as to temporarily seal those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons during the journey.

Once we safely arrive at the Heavenly Family, we can simply toss those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons into the Seal Formation, and that'll be it.

The only slightly troublesome part is that, during the handover, the gap between the original Seal Formation and the Seal Formation Disk needs attention.

Don't let those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons find a loophole.

This Seal Formation Disk is naturally prepared by the Heavenly Family themselves.

This thing is very important; the Heavenly Family dare not use the Extreme Bliss Palace's version.

If someone from the Extreme Bliss Palace tampers with the Seal Formation Disk, an accident on the road could become troublesome.

Within each sealing site, the Extreme Bliss Palace Elders and the Heavenly Family folks are busy handing over those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

The Heavenly Family members acted swiftly, as if racing against time.

The Grand Elder and the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace need not personally intervene; they only need to oversee the formation from the side.

Having nothing to do, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace also feigned concern and asked.

"Brother Tian, what's happened in the clan? Is it serious? If you need help, just speak up."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the Grand Elder's mouth twitched. Help? Do I let you go kill my Heavenly Family's young master?

This favor is naturally impossible for the Extreme Bliss Palace to help with; the Grand Elder smiled without changing expression.

"It's not a big deal, just some trivial chores."

"Then that's good, you and I are brothers; Heavenly Brother, if you have something, don't be embarrassed."

"That won't happen."

"Our Heavenly Family definitely won't be embarrassed, after all we've already killed your Three Holy Sons."

In just a short day, the over ten Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons held by the Extreme Bliss Palace have been transferred.

After the matter was settled, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace still wanted to set up a banquet to invite the Heavenly Family's members.

"Heavenly Brother, now that the matter is settled, you and I tonight must definitely not return until drunk."

"I'm really sorry, Brother Huang, my clan is urging me urgently; I have to go back today."

"That urgent?"

"Urgent."

The Grand Elder nodded solemnly, not at all like he was joking, and indeed he wasn't joking.

But it's already getting dark; to rush overnight, what matter could be this urgent?

I haven't heard of any major incident involving the Heavenly Family recently either.

Logically, staying one night would pose no problem at all.

But the Grand Elder insisted; the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace couldn't forcibly detain him, so in the end he could only personally see him off.

When the Grand Elder and they, leading over ten Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, boarded the immortal vessel and disappeared into the horizon, the sky had already turned dark.

They hurriedly left overnight; watching the direction the immortal vessel disappeared, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace slightly furrowed his brows.

Something's off; thinking back now, each of the Heavenly Family's people today seems off; there must be something.

He casually ordered the Elder beside him.

"Check again whether the Heavenly Family has had any recent incidents; such an urgent departure must not be a minor matter."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that, the Elder beside him respectfully nodded and replied.

He felt suspicious, but since everyone had left, the Palace Master of the Extreme Bliss Palace didn't think much of it; checking would reveal the answer.
