Chapter 2520

The team again added five people and Huang Lao, who is of the same level as the Heavenly Family's old ancestor, a Present Era's Strongest.

Moreover, there's even more than that; at this moment, Ye Zhangqing looked at Bai Le and Hong Luan, the two senior brother and sister who had come forward on their own initiative, and said with a furrowed brow.

"You also want to go?"

I'm not going out for a leisure trip, so why are so many people volunteering eagerly?

Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded.

In response, Bai Le said with a firm expression.

"Ye brother, what are you saying? You and I are brothers; your affairs are my affairs. I will definitely go."

Hong Luan beside him interjected.

"Wherever the senior brother goes, I will go."

Huh???

Both of them were also determined, though it would be even more perfect if they could wipe the saliva from the corners of their mouths.

Finally, unable to withstand their soft and hard persuasion, Ye Zhangqing only said that if Zhao Lao agreed, then he had no objection.

Thus, the two finally left satisfied.

But not long after the two left, He Muqin came again.

Seeing He Muqin, Ye Zhangqing said helplessly.

"You also want to go together?"

"Yes, back when you helped me so much in the Great Marsh Hu, how could I just stand by this time?"

He Muqin said seriously; upon hearing this, Ah Huang beside him also barked twice.

As for He Muqin and them, Ye Zhangqing really had no opinion.

First, the numbers are sufficient; second, with their three strengths, going would actually be of little use and wouldn't improve much.

However, Chen Fu'an would naturally not say these words out loud, as they are somewhat discouraging.

Finally, just like with Bai Le and Hong Luan, Ye Zhangqing couldn't resist He Muqin's soft and hard persuasion and could only nod in agreement.

The number of people volunteering kept growing; by the day of departure, the strength of Ye Zhangqing's group left many in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens staring wide-eyed.

The strongest among them naturally was Zhao Lao without a doubt.

Below Zhao Lao were Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family's old ancestor, Miao Cuihua, and several Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials, making a total of eight Present Era's Strongest.

Further down, the strong ones were even more numerous, and many of them were Heavenly Palace strong cultivators.

These Heavenly Palace strong cultivators all volunteered, willing to follow their own Heavenly Palace officials into battle.

In the end, they all came to Ye Zhangqing here, sincere and earnest, leaving no choice but to accept them.

Thus, when the team was preparing to set out, even some cultivators from the Immortal City doubted and said.

"Wasn't it said that this matter has nothing to do with the Heavenly Palace? Then why are there so many Heavenly Palace strong cultivators?"

"Yes, could it not be that this is a secret operation of the Heavenly Palace?"

"No, what is there to keep secret about this?"

"Then how could there be so many Heavenly Palace strong cultivators?"

Some couldn't understand; what kind of operation is this?

Externally, it was said to be a private operation of the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace, unrelated to the Heavenly Palace, yet there are so many Heavenly Palace strong cultivators mixed in.

This damn thing is clearly a Heavenly Palace operation.

Moreover, looking at the crowd rushing to the dock, there is not a hint of tension before the impending great battle; each one is excited beyond measure.

Heads held high, chests out, one might think they were going on a countryside outing.

You call this going to die? Who have you seen going to die with such an expression?

Confused, many cultivators of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens felt they couldn't understand.

People arrived one after another at the dock, and the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels were already ready.

Exactly thirty-four Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels were lined up in a row, neatly docked.

These Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels were all provided by the Heavenly Palace; with Zhao Lao, the Heavenly Palace Vice Palace Master, present, this small matter is merely a word.

Moreover, Ye Zhangqing also paid money and promised that if the vessels were damaged in battle or destroyed outright, he would compensate at the original price.

Such a small favor, Ye Zhangqing had no intention of owing; after all, money matters are never a big deal for him.

People arrived one after another, and under a unified arrangement they successively boarded different Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels.

On the vessels, someone could not help but drool.

"Just thinking about being able to eat freely on my own right away makes my saliva flow uncontrollably."

"Who isn't like that? However, setting out from the Immortal City, we probably still need half a month to arrive."

"As long as nothing happens along the way."

"Anyway, by then I will definitely let loose and eat as much as there is."

"Can you eat that much?"

"Hey, if you're talking about something else, it's not certain, but if you're talking about eating the food Ye Xiazi makes, I've never been timid."

Regarding the impending battle, everyone felt only intense excitement, with not a trace of worry.

To everyone, this is just going to have a feast.

However, on one of the vessels, Ye Zhangqing looked at Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping, who had inexplicably appeared here, and said helplessly.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, what are you doing here?"

"We're coming with you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jie replied without thinking, and Ye Zhangqing was left speechless.

This time he hadn't even considered bringing Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping along; their cultivation was too low, and Zhao Zhengping had just barely broken through to the Immortal King realm.

Even Xu Jie, who had obtained the Spirit Yang Pill, is now merely a perfected Immortal King Realm.

Such strength might be passable in the Immortal Realm, but once you reach Beyond the Heavens and face a war of this level, it's not even enough to qualify as cannon fodder.

By then, even Ye Zhangqing might not be able to look after them.

So, regarding their arrival, Ye Zhangqing felt utterly helpless—wasn't this just adding trouble?

But Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie refuse to leave no matter what; they came to Beyond the Heavens to fight side by side with their junior martial brother, didn't they?

Now is no time to shrink back.

So, seeing Ye Zhangqing frown, Xu Jie broke into a grin and stepped forward to speak.

"Junior brother, why are you so worked up? I and Senior Brother just want to accompany you. Rest assured, once we reach the battlefield, Senior Brother and I will certainly not cause trouble—we'll just stay by your side; isn't that safe enough?"

"By then we'll just help you out behind the scenes, not go to the front lines—it'll be fine."

Xu Jie's words were sincere and heartfelt; hearing them, Ye Zhangqing looked at him helplessly and finally nodded helplessly.

When everyone had gathered, at Zhao Lao's command, the thirty-four Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessels slowly set off and left the harbor.

They flew toward the endless Beyond the Heavens.

Meanwhile, on the dock, Yu Hengxin, who had come to see them off, looked full of anticipation.

He had just personally witnessed how many strong warriors Ye Zhangqing had gathered into a unit.

Such strength increased Yu Hengxin's confidence by a notch; this time he was sure to succeed.

Thinking of capturing this Heavenly Crystal Mine and the benefits he would gain, Yu Hengxin couldn't help but feel excited.

At the same time, he secretly made a decision.

"Ye Zhangqing, you're a friend I, Yu Hengxin, have decided to make."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing's limitless potential, Yu Hengxin thought that aligning with such a person would bring only benefits and no drawbacks.

The ways Ye Zhangqing could help him went far beyond this; he needed to firmly grasp this opportunity.
