Chapter 2456: Three Against One

That bright red blood energy kept gathering behind the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit, quickly forming a blood cloud that blotted out the sky.

And within that blood energy, there was none of the bloody stench one would expect; instead, it carried a faint fragrance.

Watching the changes of the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit, Mirror Ancestor also became serious, sensing the danger posed by the other side at this moment.

It certainly couldn't have only that trick; otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of being called a Fairy Artifact.

But this method, its consequences probably wouldn't be limited to just this small courtyard.

Mirror Ancestor seemed to sense something, but before it could speak, Ye Zhangqing's voice softly came over.

"Do not harm anyone."

Hearing that, the little guy's body shuddered; immediately the blood cloud behind it began to retract, and it turned its head toward Ye Zhangqing with some reluctance, saying pitifully.

"But Master, if I don't do that I can't beat it."

It was unwilling to lose to that annoying old thing, but without using other methods, it wasn't a match for that old thing.

But facing the little guy's plea, Ye Zhangqing still wore a smile and gently shook his head.

"But others are innocent; your method, many people in the city couldn't withstand it."

"Alright, I understand."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's attitude was gentle but not to be refused, the little guy, though unwilling, quickly nodded and agreed, retracting the blood energy behind it.

Although it wanted to give Mirror Ancestor a sound beating, since Ye Zhangqing had spoken, it was unwilling to defy the master's command.

At worst it would be embarrassing, getting thoroughly beaten; what's that, as long as the master isn't angry.

This was the little guy's true thought.

After the blood energy had fully retracted, the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit lifted its head, staring defiantly at Mirror Ancestor and said.

"Come on, hit me however you want; after you're done, get lost."

Even now, the little guy still had no intention of yielding.

The master forbids using other methods, so we won't; you can do whatever you like.

Watching the little guy's stubborn appearance, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you doing? I never said to let you surrender; I have one principle: our own people must not be bullied by outsiders."

"But…………………」

Hearing that, the little guy said full of doubt, "Without using other methods, I can't beat that old thing."

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't let him finish and directly interrupted.

"Don't rush, let me introduce two friends for you to meet."

Immediately, Ye Zhangqing moved his thoughts, and the Tianxing Lao Ren and Tie Dan father and son, also artifact spirits of the Fairy Artifact, appeared in the courtyard.

As soon as the two appeared, they were first dazed, but quickly came to their senses, their gazes locking onto Ye Zhangqing, and tears instantly streamed down.

"Master, you finally let us come out."

"Master, we've suffered."

Huh???

Seeing the father and son with tears and snot streaming everywhere, Ye Zhangqing was directly dumbfounded.

What's going on? Why did they start crying as soon as they came out?

Only after their explanation did he understand.

It turned out that after Ye Zhangqing refined the Qiankun Shovel and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, he hadn't noticed and hadn't given the father and son permission to leave the Fairy Artifact space.

This caused the father and son to want to leave the Fairy Artifact space, which was impossible unless Ye Zhangqing actively summoned them.

Yet for such a long time, Ye Zhangqing never actively summoned them even once.

Every day, the father and son stayed inside the Fairy Artifact space, watching the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit freely come and go from the system space—how enviable that was.

Their eyes were red from staring, yet they could do nothing about it.

Only today did Ye Zhangqing finally remember them and let them out.

Overwhelmed with emotion, they couldn't control themselves, resulting in that tearful scene just now.

After hearing their explanation, Ye Zhangqing was both laughing and crying.

I really had forgotten about this.

"I'll give you permission shortly."

Helplessly comforting them with a sentence, upon hearing it the father and son immediately kowtowed, for they had been waiting for these words.

From now on they could be like the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit; of course, most importantly, they could finally eat.

Instead of merely being able to gaze at the food and sigh in vain.

After soothing the father and son's emotions, Ye Zhangqing reached out and pointed at the Myriad Soul Banner artifact spirit.

"You know this little guy, he's one of us; that old fellow wants to take him down, you help him together, just don't let him be scattered."

Not allowing the little guy to use other methods, Ye Zhangqing naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch it be taken care of.

Could even his own Fairy Artifact artifact spirit be taken care of by other artifact spirits?

Not allowing other methods, and he didn't say there was only one Fairy Artifact artifact spirit.

If one can't beat it, then three against one it is—just artifact spirits bullying fewer artifact spirits, what's the problem?

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the little guy's eyes lit up, staring with big blinking eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the Tianxing Lao Ren father and son.

He then broke into a big grin and said.

"Hehe, how did I not think of that? The master isn't the only one with a Fairy Artifact on him; let's all go up together and give that old thing a good lesson."

"That's natural."

"Since the master has given an order, we naturally obey."

Hearing that, the Tianxing Lao Ren father and son also nodded reluctantly; the master has spoken, how could they refuse?

Immediately, the gazes of the three great Fairy Artifact spirits locked onto Jingzu's body.

But facing the three gazes, Jingzu was already completely dazed at this moment.

He stood frozen in place, silent for a long time.

His heart had already been overturned by shocking waves.

"This brat has more than one Fairy Artifact on him? How is that possible? Where did he get so many Fairy Artifacts?"

Jingzu only felt numb, this isn't right, he had never heard of such a thing before.

However, there is one thing Jingzu is clear about: facing three opponents alone, its chances of victory are slim, even nonexistent.

Moreover, its ability to act is limited, after all this is Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

Even if its power compared to the Myriad Soul Banner would result in much smaller consequences.

But if it acts recklessly with full force, it will surely affect the surroundings, and then it won't be able to explain itself.

After all, this is the Heavenly Family's main base, its foundation, and it is a Fairy Artifact of the Heavenly Family.

To wield its own Fairy Artifact recklessly in its own main base, disregarding consequences, is simply inexcusable.

The situation for Jingzu took a sudden turn for the worse; facing the Myriad Soul Banner spirit and the unfriendly gazes of Tianxing Lao Ren and his son, after a moment of stunned silence, Jingzu suddenly raised his head and spoke.

"Three fellow Daoists, I was impulsive earlier; how about we sit down and talk?"

"What the hell impulsive, what the hell to talk, brothers, beat it."

Upon hearing that, the little brat outright refused to listen; now you say you were impulsive? What were you doing earlier?

Now, we three great artifact spirits, still want to sit and chat with you? Let's beat you first and then talk.

"You…………"

Upon hearing that, Jingzu's face darkened, but the little brat had already given it no chance to speak, having already charged ahead first, his small fists clenched tightly.
