Chapter 2466

As expected, before the Heavenly Family person could finish speaking, this Heavenly Palace Celestial Official from the Extreme Bliss Palace directly interrupted, attitude cold.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Family person still wanted to strive a bit more, forcibly suppressing emotions, and said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, regarding matters of the Immortal Realm, since we entered the Heavenly Palace, it has already..."

But still no chance was given; before the words were finished, they were interrupted.

"I know, do you have other matters? If not, I won't keep you company; this matter has a bad influence, I must handle it quickly to demonstrate Heavenly authority."

"You..."

"Excuse me."

Not giving any chance, this Heavenly Palace Celestial Official stood up and left directly, leaving only the Heavenly Family person there with an unsightly expression.

After entering the Heavenly Palace, matters of the Immortal Realm cannot be interfered with; though that's what is said, people's hearts cannot be made clear by just a few rules.

The Extreme Bliss Palace was destroyed; not taking revenge actively already counts as endurance.

But now, Tianlin bringing this upon himself is his own doing; no one else can be blamed.

Handling it according to heavenly law is also fine.

"Now it's troublesome."

The Heavenly Family person took a deep breath, feeling heavy-hearted, with no other option, could only flash away temporarily.

If it were someone else, as long as they are not from the Extreme Bliss Palace, this matter could be handled.

After all, the Heavenly Family is willing to give a satisfactory explanation; protecting Tianlin is not impossible.

But now, the Heavenly Palace Celestial Official in charge of this matter is actually Lin Dong from the Extreme Bliss Palace, which makes it completely different.

The Extreme Bliss Palace was destroyed; for Lin Dong to say he has no hatred in his heart is absolutely impossible.

Even though the other party hasn't returned to the Immortal Realm for many years, just like this Heavenly Family person, the past affection has not disappeared.

Even though the sect and family are different, with no blood relation, that was still the person's former sect, and he also received their nurturing kindness.

Immediately informed the Heavenly Family Patriarch.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Family Patriarch also felt gloomy; is the luck really this bad?

"We three will go together."

Seeing the Heavenly Family Patriarch's furrowed brows, Huang Lao also knew the gravity; if they don't quickly think of a solution, Tianlin is likely doomed.

Don't say Tianlin is the Heavenly Family's young master; if they really get serious, the Heavenly Palace doesn't care about that, they truly dare to kill.

Moreover, even if they killed him, the Heavenly Family would have no recourse; it's impossible they'd go to war with the Heavenly Palace.

Unless the Heavenly Family wants to exterminate its clan, it's impossible to do such a foolish thing.

For now, we only hope that the three of them step forward together, allowing other Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials to pressure Lin Dong into compromise.

Huang Lao and Miao Cuihua naturally have acquaintances within the Heavenly Palace; for now, that's all we can do.

Overnight, the three went to the Heavenly Palace again, and each sought out acquaintances among the Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials.

However, facing Huang Lao, Miao Cuihua, and the three's purpose, these Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials all expressed inability to help.

In short, the meaning is that Lin Dong is not at fault; it's Tianlin himself who violated heavenly law.

Now they want to enforce the law impartially; there's no problem, and they have nothing to say.

Put bluntly, the matter is thorny; they don't want to get involved, lest they be dragged in pointlessly.

Lin Dong obviously harbors hatred; at this point, anyone who intervenes would clearly be making an enemy, so better to not help each other.

In the end, Huang Lao and the three only persuaded two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials willing to lend a hand and talk with Lin Dong.

These two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials: one is the Heavenly Family Patriarch's clansman uncle, the other shares a life-and-death bond with Huang Lao, having known each other in the Immortal Realm and being quite close.

Both nodded, also out of consideration for past affection.

However, the final result was disappointing; the next day, the two together found Lin Dong.

But the other party's attitude was extremely firm, with no possibility of yielding at all.

After all the talk, it boils down to one sentence: enforce the law impartially.

Finally, Lin Dong even threw out a sentence.

"We are all Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials; this matter needs no further discussion. I will not wrong him, nor will I bend the law for personal gain—it's that simple."

The situation seemed to have no turning point; upon learning the result, the Heavenly Family Patriarch felt only vexation.

His eyes held a dark, inscrutable expression.

Seeming to guess what this old thing was thinking, Huang Lao whispered advice.

"Stay calm, don't do foolish things."

The Heavenly Family Patriarch already had in mind to forcibly rescue him, i. e., a jailbreak.

But that's the Heavenly Palace; even if the Heavenly Family Patriarch is a supreme expert, wanting to rescue Tianlin from within the Heavenly Palace, leave safely beyond the heavens, and return to the Immortal Realm is extremely difficult.

Moreover, even if they returned to the Immortal Realm, then what?

Having angered the Heavenly Palace, is returning to the Immortal Realm safe? Impossible.

Or perhaps send them to Xia Jie? In that case, the Heavenly Palace might stop here, after all the Immortal Realm is vast, searching would be troublesome, consuming effort.

But once they go to Xia Jie, Tianlin would be ruined; in this lifetime he could not make any progress at all, and even a decline in cultivation is possible.

This is not a matter of talent, but purely a Xiūliàn environment issue.

The Xiūliàn environment in Xia Jie is too poor, fundamentally unable to support Ancient Immortal Realm cultivators.

Even an Ancient Immortal Realm cultivator existing long-term in Xia Jie would likely bring tremendous pressure to Xia Jie.

Thus, the will of Heaven, seeking self-preservation, can only weaken this cultivation at all costs, letting it fall to a level this world can bear.

Therefore, forcibly rescuing someone is not wise, and may even be hard to succeed.

"What should we do?"

Just hearing that, the Heavenly Family elder coldly replied, "Now Lin Dong simply won't open his mouth, yet the person is still in his hands."

And according to the rules of the Heavenly Palace, unless Lin Dong himself is willing, otherwise only at least ten Heavenly Officials can step forward and unanimously agree to change the overseeing Heavenly Official.

Only then can the Tianlin matter be handled by another person.

But could Lin Dong give up?

As for those ten Heavenly Officials, Huang Lao and them had already tried before; no matter how we persuaded, in the end only two were willing to help, and the result remains the same.

After thinking it over, the Heavenly Family elder could only think of this one method; otherwise it would be giving up.

But giving up Tianlin is absolutely impossible, utterly impossible.

Seeing the Heavenly Family elder's appearance, Huang Lao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and in the end could only fall into silence.

And just at this moment, Ye Zhangqing, who had been standing by the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Senior, please treat us to a meal."

"Treat?"

Upon hearing that, Huang Lao looked doubtful and gazed at Ye Zhangqing, while Ye Zhangqing spoke with a calm expression.

"Yes, give it a try—you invite the people, I'll cook."

He didn't know whether his cooking skills could move the other party; if he could win over more than ten Heavenly Officials, the matter would still have a chance.

This is the only thing Ye Zhangqing can do.

But Huang Lao said, feeling uncertain.

"Will it work?"

"Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try; however, this kid is still quite confident in his cooking skills."

Ye Zhangqing laughed and said, these words also gave Huang Lao and the three a hint of hope; indeed, they all know Ye Zhangqing's cooking skills, maybe it could succeed.
