Chapter 2437

Seeing Tong Ji so readily nod and agree, the Heavenly Family Ancestor also smiled satisfactorily.

From his youth, Tong Ji has been well versed in the art of advancing and retreating, deeply understanding the true essence of wise self-preservation, and he also possesses great courage.

Just like this time when the Fairy Artifact appeared, his Thousand Lakes Sect simply gave up without too much hesitation.

Even though the site of the Fairy Artifact's appearance lay within their Thousand Lakes Sect, aside from Tianxing Lao Ren, Tie Dan and a few others who were forced to enter, no one else from the sect went there.

It seemed he had become merely an onlooker.

Thus, it indeed maximally preserved the Thousand Lakes Sect, at least avoiding too much involvement due to the Fairy Artifact dispute.

This is Tong Ji's exceptional quality.

Now a greater matter has arisen, and given Tong Ji's character, he is even more unwilling to be implicated.

He even hoped the Heavenly Family Ancestor and his party would leave quickly, staying far from his Thousand Lakes Sect.

Therefore, upon hearing the Heavenly Family Ancestor's words, Tong Ji immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation, which is hardly surprising.

"Well then…………………………"

"Huh???"

The Heavenly Family Ancestor was about to have Tong Ji go prepare, as they planned to leave today, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly froze, his gaze unconsciously drifting through the hall door toward the horizon.

Only to see the previously clear blue sky suddenly torn open by a spatial rift.

Subsequently, an immortal vessel swiftly flew out from within, and the insignia emblazoned on it was precisely that of the Extreme Bliss Palace.

Have the people of the Extreme Bliss Palace arrived?

Seeing this, Tong Ji's heart sank; the arrival of the Extreme Bliss Palace's people would surely mean a battle erupting within his Thousand Lakes Sect.

He had already intended for the Heavenly Family Ancestor and his group to leave quickly; this matter, the Thousand Lakes Sect would absolutely not participate in—your life-or-death struggle is your own concern, having nothing to do with my Thousand Lakes Sect.

What Tong Ji did not expect was that the Extreme Bliss Palace's people would arrive so swiftly, now appearing above his Thousand Lakes Sect.

Just………………… what does the Extreme Bliss Palace mean by this? Is it just a single immortal vessel? Do they dare to come like this?

For the Extreme Bliss Palace to survive, any crazy move would not be surprising.

Merely watching the slowly healing spatial rift and that lone immortal vessel hanging in the sky left Tong Ji somewhat dazed.

Are you Extreme Bliss Palace folks going crazy, sending just one immortal vessel? What does that even mean?

He Yingqin and An Sheng Xin are dead, leaving the Extreme Bliss Palace without any supreme expert to hold the fort.

Meanwhile, within the Thousand Lakes Sect there are Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, and Miao Cuihua—three supreme experts.

The Extreme Bliss Palace has sent only a single immortal vessel—what use could it have? They probably aren't even qualified to fight to the death.

Tong Ji finds the Extreme Bliss Palace's actions baffling; not only him, but even the Heavenly Family Ancestor doesn't know what they intend to do.

But the next second, numerous Heavenly Family experts and Wushen Palace experts appeared in the sky, encircling the immortal vessel.

At the same time, Huang Lao and Miao Cuihua's figures appeared directly before the immortal vessel.

The Heavenly Family Ancestor was not slow either; ignoring the stunned Tong Ji, he flashed over to stand before Huang Lao.

Amidst the encirclement of Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace experts, and under the gaze of the three supreme experts—Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, and Miao Cuihua—

Only to see, from the cabin, several Extreme Bliss Palace experts led by the Palace Master stride onto the deck.

Including the Palace Master, there were just five of them in total.

With so few people, Huang Lao and the others looked puzzled—what could this mean?

Yet, facing the crowd's gaze, the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master was the first to speak.

"Three people ganging up on my ancestor alone—even if victorious, it would be somewhat unchivalrous."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he actually came to accuse them, which made Huang Lao and the others frown even more—what kind of tactic is this kid employing?

Your Extreme Bliss Palace's ancestor and holy son are already gone; now you bring merely these five people and dare to come here to raise an army and level accusations?

Huang Lao and the other two couldn't even be bothered to respond, as a Heavenly Family Elder stepped forward and shouted.

"Surname Huang, are you insane or seeking death? What gives you the nerve to say such a thing now?"

Given the Extreme Bliss Palace's current situation, you still dare to come here and raise accusations—those five of you probably don't even want to go back.

However, facing that Heavenly Family Elder's cold rebuke, the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master merely gave him a contemptuous glance, then turned his gaze toward Huang Lao and the other two.

It seemed as if only those three present were worthy of conversing with him.

The ignored Heavenly Family Elder's face darkened, feeling slighted; just as he was about to shout angrily, Huang Lao waved a hand to cut him off.

Only to see Huang Lao step forward a distance, gazing at the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master on the immortal vessel, and speak calmly.

"You, young man, are indeed remarkable; when you first joined the Extreme Bliss Palace and began to show promise, I felt that aside from talent and foundation, you were in no way inferior to An Sheng Xin in any other aspect."

"Later, when you took charge of the Extreme Bliss Palace, you confirmed my view; someone like you coming today surely isn't just here to die for nothing—you must have made preparations."

Hearing Huang Lao's words, the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master replied without changing expression.

"Senior, you overpraise me; today I have come with a primary question, setting aside past events—I only wish to ask: can my Extreme Bliss Palace survive?"

He spoke no words of revenge; such talk would be meaningless.

Because the Extreme Bliss Palace lacks that capability, the Palace Master now only seeks to carve a path of survival for his sect.

Unfortunately, upon hearing this, Huang Lao shook his head.

Impossible.

The Extreme Bliss Palace certainly cannot continue to exist; otherwise it would remain a hidden danger—since even He Yingqin has been killed, how could the Extreme Bliss Palace possibly be allowed to linger?

Rejected by Huang Lao, the Extreme Bliss Palace Palace Master seemed not disappointed, as if he had anticipated all this.

After a moment of silence, he then said.

"Then let each rely on their own abilities."

Hearing this, Huang Lao furrowed his brows slightly, unsure where this youngster gets the confidence to say such a thing.

Yet, since he could utter such words, it's evident he isn't unprepared; perhaps the Extreme Bliss Palace still harbors other means unknown to them.

Still, one must not underestimate the Extreme Bliss Palace—after all, it has stood firm in the Immortal Realm for a long time.

According to history, the Bliss Palace is even older than the Heavenly Family.

Not only Huang Lao, but even the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua, at this moment all furrowed their brows, obviously suspicious.

After obtaining the answer, the Palace Master of the Bliss Palace also did not hesitate; immediately, with a thought, the next second a white ancient banner over three meters tall appeared behind him.

When they saw this ancient banner, Huang Lao and his two companions were stunned for a moment; the Heavenly Family Ancestor was the first to regain his composure, gritting his teeth and said.

"Myriad Souls Banner, you Bliss Palace actually still kept it; back then you …………………"

"Back then, our Bliss Palace truly could not bear to destroy it; instead we secretly kept it, and now, in order to preserve our lives, we let it see the light of day again."
