Chapter 2451

Just a moment ago we were talking fine, how did we suddenly start fighting? The elders of the Ultimate Bliss Palace still find it strange.

But now is obviously not the time to dwell on that; saving lives is urgent.

Immediately, the Palace Masters of the Ultimate Bliss Palace all rushed toward where the Palace Master was, shouting loudly at the same time.

Senior, stop—don't you care about Ye Zhangqing and their lives anymore?

Senior, let's sit down and talk properly; don't harm the harmony.

Yeah, we don't care if we die, but if we implicate Ye Zhangqing and these young Heavenly Pride, that would be bad.

Death.

Then, facing the words of those Ultimate Bliss Palace elders, the Heavenly Family's old ancestor couldn't be bothered to respond, directly striking out and killing several people.

What bullshit about implication—does the Ultimate Bliss Palace still have any leverage?

You have nothing left, yet you dare to spout nonsense here, clueless about the situation—a bunch of idiots.

These Ultimate Bliss Palace elders, in the hands of the Heavenly Family's old ancestor, had no ability to resist whatsoever; those killed didn't even have a chance to protest.

Moreover, as time passed, many strong cultivators from the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace also joined the battlefield.

From the outskirts of the Ultimate Bliss Palace, attackers poured in from all directions.

Many disciples of the Ultimate Bliss Palace were knocked senseless on the spot.

Many places lacked an elder to hold the line; facing the Heavenly Family and Wushen Palace's elder‑level experts, the disciples had no recourse.

It was a outright one‑sided massacre.

Given the situation, it's hardly surprising.

After all, the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace joining forces makes dealing with an Ultimate Bliss Palace lacking a supreme expert quite easy.

Their earlier hesitation was entirely because the Ultimate Bliss Palace's Palace Master held Ye Zhangqing and their lives.

Now that leverage is gone, what does the Ultimate Bliss Palace have left to resist with?

Inside the Ultimate Bliss Palace, chaos erupted instantly, with cries of agony unceasing.

Palace Master of Extreme Bliss Palace, moreover, under the joint siege of the Heavenly Pride Elder Ancestor and Miao Cuihua, had already been slain on the spot.

The battle does not require Ye Zhangqing and the others to participate.

Huang Lao settled the group on an immortal vessel of the Heavenly Family, scanned with his divine sense, and confirmed that the situation was fine.

It was completely a one-sided crush, a slaughter.

He actually also lost interest in taking action, especially after experiencing the previous events; Huang Lao still felt that staying by Ye Zhangqing's side made him more reliable.

He definitely did not want to experience that again.

And after being successfully rescued, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, even inside the Myriad Soul Banner, everyone didn't suffer much; aside from being unable to practice Xiūliàn and feeling a bit bored, everything else was fine.

Moreover, they could even enjoy the delicious food personally prepared by Ye Zhangqing every day, which was extremely pleasant.

So, at this moment, upon emerging from the Myriad Soul Banner, each person was glowing with health, their condition excellent beyond words.

Previously unnoticed, now that everyone had relaxed, Huang Lao finally noticed their complexion.

Seeing everyone full of spirit and in excellent condition, Huang Lao frowned and said.

"The environment inside the Myriad Soul Banner is this good?"

"This Myriad Soul Banner is an evil weapon; although Huang Lao has never entered it, how could it be good?"

But looking at the condition of these little ones, no matter how you look, they don't seem to have suffered.

And upon hearing that, someone replied respectfully.

"Replying, Senior, it's just that."

Huh???

"Just that? Could it be that the rumors about the Myriad Soul Banner are wrong?"

Before, I was worried they'd be injured inside the Myriad Soul Banner, but now looking, they haven't even suffered any hardship, let alone injury.

But afterwards, I heard that inside, they ate the meals Ye Zhangqing prepared every day.

Even now that they've been rescued, they still feel somewhat unsatisfied; Huang Lao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Why do I inexplicably feel a bit envious? These little brats have indeed eaten to their heart's content.

But he hasn't eaten for how many days? With Ye Zhangqing trapped, Huang Lao has no mood to eat.

All day he just thinks about rescuing people, yet he's eaten plenty of anger.

Inside the immortal vessel, they chatted idly, talking about the amusing incidents inside the Myriad Soul Banner.

But just then, a child with ruddy skin and two buns appeared before Ye Zhangqing.

This child is none other than the artifact spirit of the Myriad Soul Banner.

Because the seal of the Myriad Soul Banner has been broken, the banner is now ownerless.

So, the artifact spirit can move freely, can manifest if it wishes, but cannot stray too far from the Myriad Soul Banner.

Seeing the suddenly appearing artifact spirit of the Myriad Soul Banner, with its big, watery eyes staring fixedly at him, Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat doubtful and said.

"What's up?"

"Didn't you say before to let me follow you? Are you still counting on that?"

"Of course I am."

"Then why has there been no movement?"

The meaning of the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit's words is clearly urging, "Hurry up and refine it!"

How long has it been? It's been waiting inside the Myriad Soul Banner, left and right, for Ye Zhangqing, and finally couldn't help but manifest to ask.

I thought they were going back on their word, and I'd never get to eat that food again.

Upon hearing the artifact spirit's words, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh; he was still anxious.

He rubbed the little head of the artifact spirit and said.

This isn't just that I've only recently become idle; I was busy escaping before—don't worry, I won't abandon you.

That's what you said.

Yeah, that's what I said, I won't abandon you.

Then that's good.

Only after Ye Zhangqing's repeated assurances did the Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit nod in relief, then crawl, looking satisfied, into Ye Zhangqing's arms, as if it couldn't bear to leave him.

Beside him, Huang Lao looked at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit clinging to Ye Zhangqing's chest, his expression strange as he pointed and said.

Is this thing the artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?

Hmm.

You didn't mistake it?

How could I mistake it?

Ye Zhangqing laughed helplessly.

Looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit, Huang Lao fell into deep thought; it's not that he had never seen an artifact spirit of a fairy artifact before.

But has there ever been an artifact spirit like the Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit?

For someone to refine a fairy artifact, that's a huge hassle; it requires tremendous effort, and success isn't even guaranteed.

Even if you encounter an artifact spirit with a stubborn personality, if it says it won't recognize you, then it won't, and there's nothing you can do.

All you can do is slowly coax it, essentially treating it like an ancestor to be served.

Just like the artifact spirit of the Heavenly Family's fairy artifact, it's practically become the Heavenly Family's second forefather.

But look at this Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit—how is it even rushing to be refined?

And looking at it, it seems as if, if Ye Zhangqing doesn't agree, it simply won't do anything—this is absurd.

Does this fairy artifact have no dignity at all?

But it wasn't like that before—when the forefather of the Ultimate Bliss Palace refined the Ten Thousand Souls Banner back then, Huang Lao recalls that it also took decades to succeed.

The hardships and suffering involved are probably beyond what outsiders can imagine.

Has the Ten Thousand Souls Banner artifact spirit changed its temperament?

This fairy artifact's artifact spirit—look at it, lying in Ye Zhangqing's arms, looking completely content.
