Chapter 2448

Before, everyone had explored the internal space of the Myriad Soul Banner.

But at that time there was no artifact spirit to lead them; the surroundings were filled with strange mist, and everyone could not tell direction, nor could they go far.

Let alone finding where the seal was located.

However, now, with the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit leading the way, it becomes much simpler.

This seal, although extremely hidden inside the Myriad Soul Banner, is basically impossible to discover.

But with the artifact spirit guiding, it is naturally not difficult to find.

Soon, Ye Zhangqing and his party arrived at the location of the Myriad Soul Banner's seal.

After careful observation, although everyone present were young disciples, almost all were Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace.

Among them, many have dabbled in things like formations, talisman seals, and alchemy.

Therefore, under the collective discussion of everyone, they quickly began to talk about how to break the seal.

It is worth mentioning that breaking the seal from the inside actually has a very good piece of news.

That is, the internal seal has lower defenses, or perhaps under normal circumstances, one would start from the outside to break a seal.

Almost no one would break a seal from the inside, so this side's defenses are much weaker.

It is like a door: naturally difficult to open from the outside, but from inside it is very simple.

After all, this thing is meant to keep outsiders out.

Inside, besides the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit and countless wandering souls and evil ghosts, what else could there be?

Moreover, even if someone were present, they could not locate the seal unless the artifact spirit led the way, just as now.

In short, approaching from inside, everyone has hope to break this seal.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing naturally felt pleased as well.

He has not studied much in these areas, so he still needs to rely on everyone's strength.

Fortunately, everyone present are outstanding talents, capable of great use.

Ye Zhangqing et al. have already begun plotting how to break it, while outside, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace and his party have already returned to the palace interior.

Although this trip cost the loss of one Elder, the plan succeeded perfectly, and now they hold a bargaining chip.

Thus, even if the next day the entire Ultimate Bliss Palace is surrounded water-tight by the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace is not overly panicked.

As long as Ye Zhangqing is in hand, Huang Lao dare not act rashly.

After feeling somewhat relieved, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace also recalled the situation of Ye Zhangqing and company inside the Myriad Soul Banner.

Sinking his mind into it, on the other side, the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit seemed to suddenly sense something, waved its small hand, and directly sent Ye Zhangqing and company back to their original place.

"Someone is spying on this place."

He whispered to Ye Zhangqing and them; upon hearing, everyone naturally understood what to do.

Immediately they acted out a listless appearance.

At the same time, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace observed the condition of Ye Zhangqing and a few others, then began communicating with the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit.

"How are they, are they alright?"

"They are fine."

"Do not let them die, of course, also do not let them escape."

"That will not happen."

"Then that's good."

After pacifying the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, Ye Zhangqing and company returned to normal and continued to break the seal.

Breaking the seal from inside, the Myriad Soul Banner's artifact spirit can help conceal.

Before the seal is completely removed, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace cannot sense any changes in the Myriad Soul Banner.

Therefore, Ye Zhangqing and company can act boldly without problem.

After confirming Ye Zhangqing and company's condition, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace is naturally relieved; having Ye Zhangqing in hand, he will surely strive for a sliver of survival for the Ultimate Bliss Palace.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Huang Lao and three others arrived above the Ultimate Bliss Palace, stated their purpose, expressed willingness to talk.

Upon hearing, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace smiled and had people usher the three into the Ultimate Bliss Palace's main hall.

The three joined forces, thus not worrying about any traps set by the Ultimate Bliss Palace, and immediately entered the Ultimate Bliss Palace's great hall.

To say who is most anxious, undoubtedly it is Huang Lao, so upon arrival he wasted no words and went straight to the point.

"How must we be to release the person?"

Huang Lao only cares about Ye Zhangqing's life or death; seeing his demeanor, the Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace couldn't help but grin.

"I said before, as long as my Ultimate Bliss Palace can survive, I will naturally release the person."

"Good, let your Ultimate Bliss Palace's people respectively go to the Wushen Palace and Heavenly Family; we will spare your Ultimate Bliss Palace one life."

"Impossible, the Shanmen is the foundation of my palace; how could it be lightly abandoned?"

"Then what do you want?"

"Simple: first, regarding the previous incident, my Ultimate Bliss Palace will treat it as if it never happened, and will not participate in any affairs of the Immortal Realm thereafter, only seeking to settle in a corner, but I will not accept any nature of relocation, nor will I abandon the Shanmen."

"Second, the three seniors swear that they will not kill anyone of my Ultimate Bliss Palace; otherwise heavenly punishment and earthly annihilation."

"Third, let Ye Zhangqing and company reside in my Ultimate Bliss Palace for a hundred years to put my mind at ease; during this period, all cultivation resources you may send, and my Ultimate Bliss Palace will not withhold even a bit."

The Palace Master of the Ultimate Bliss Palace said this slowly; after hearing these three demands, the Heavenly Family's ancestor directly burst out laughing in anger.

"Heh, do you think that's possible?"

The three conditions of the Ultimate Bliss Palace are each more outrageous than the last; such outrageous demands, how could they possibly agree.

Moreover, requiring Ye Zhangqing and company to stay in the Ultimate Bliss Palace for a hundred years—just this demand alone, not to mention them, even Huang Lao could not possibly agree.

A hundred years of time can change too many things.

As expected, Huang Lao already spoke with a grim expression at this moment.

Don't be too excessive; I can now agree to your request—release the people, and I guarantee that your Ultimate Bliss Palace will be unharmed, and you don't need to relocate or abandon your sect.

The condition is that your Ultimate Bliss Palace releases the people and must not participate in any affairs of the Immortal Realm.

This is the best condition Huang Lao can offer.

Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace also knew that this was already the limit.

However, to be safe, he also demanded that Huang Lao and the two others swear an oath; only then would he believe and be willing to release the people.

As for swearing an oath, Huang Lao, eager to save lives, didn't say much more.

But the Heavenly Family's Old Ancestor and Miao Cuihua were unwilling; neither of them wanted to swear an oath no matter what.

After all, once such an oath is made, it's equivalent to putting a shackle on oneself.

In the future, it cannot be escaped no matter what; who would be willing?

But for the Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace, having only Huang Lao is not enough; after all, even if Huang Lao does not act, if the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace intervene, his Ultimate Bliss Palace cannot withstand it.

Therefore, the three must swear an oath together, and they must also bring along the forces behind them.

For a while, both sides reached a stalemate, neither willing to back down; finally, after a standoff lasting a little more than one Shíchén, they ended up parting on bad terms.

The Palace Master of Ultimate Bliss Palace had the three go back to think it over, then come again.

If not all three swear an oath, he cannot possibly release the people; he would rather see everything destroyed together than give in.

After leaving Ultimate Bliss Palace, Huang Lao and the two others all had grim expressions; even the Heavenly Family's Old Ancestor was considering whether to advise Huang Lao to give up.
