Chapter 2548: Demon God's Wrath

Huang Lao gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength; the specially refined iron chain, which he pulled, creaked.

But even after gritting his teeth, the other end of the iron chain showed no movement at all.

Even the Heavenly Family Ancestor beside him looked bewildered, wondering what he had hooked.

Previously, the two times were smooth; a pull and it came out.

But this time, why has there been no movement for so long?

"Did you hook something else?" he asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao gritted his teeth and replied angrily.

"I know what it is; if you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself."

Upon hearing that, the Heavenly Family Ancestor's face darkened; how could he possibly go in? No one knows what's happening inside the Mining Domain right now.

Even if he is the Present Era's Strongest, there is still a Demon God seated in this Immortal Crystal Mine; going in would mean death.

Meanwhile, everyone was doubtful, and at the same time, the Demon God inside the Mining Domain had an extremely grim expression.

At first, when Huang Lao suddenly exerted force, it indeed caused its body to sway slightly, catching it off guard.

But it quickly steadied its stance; thereafter, no matter how hard Huang Lao pulled, it remained unmoving, as stable as a mountain.

What angered this Demon God was that it had just arrived at this entrance when it was mysteriously ambushed by the Human Race.

In its view, this was an ambush by the Human Race.

Although it had never seen a Human Race cultivator use such a method, even thinking with its toes, the other end of this big hook must be a Human Race cultivator.

For a moment, the Demon God's heart burned with rage.

It grabbed the big hook on its shoulder and suddenly exerted force; the hook was actually pulled in the opposite direction.

Huang Lao, outside the Mining Domain, was caught off guard and was directly dragged flying into the Mining Domain.

Seeing this, Huang Lao's heart sank to the valley bottom; he hurriedly shouted.

"Save me."

He could not possibly resist this power; a terrifying thought surged in his mind.

Could what this hook has caught be that Demon God inside the Immortal Crystal Mine?

Otherwise, how could there be such power? This is not something a Leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon could possess.

Only a Demon God could render the Present Era's Strongest Huang Lao unable to resist at all.

At that moment, Huang Lao no longer cared about face; the Heavenly Family Ancestor, Miao Cuihua, and the two Heavenly Palace officials also rushed forward to cling to his body, refusing to let go.

Especially the Heavenly Family Ancestor, whose face turned pale, shouted.

"Let go quickly, what the hell are you still pulling for? You're courting death."

Usually they joke and play around, but the feelings between the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Huang Lao are genuine; at this moment, he naturally does not want to see Huang Lao come to harm.

Upon hearing the Heavenly Family Ancestor's words, Huang Lao finally came to his senses and hastily released the iron chain in his hand.

Only then did he steady himself and let out a sigh of relief.

As for the iron chain, it was being pulled and vanished from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, sinking directly into the Mining Domain entrance.

Inside the entrance, the Demon God seized the iron chain, but the other end had no one; obviously, it had let the opponent escape.

It gritted its teeth and shouted.

"Shameless humans, seeking death, hear my order: go out and slaughter all Human Race cultivators."

"Kill."

With the Demon God's roar, all the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons present raised their heads and howled, then surged outward in a dark mass toward outside the Mining Domain.

Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are naturally ferocious; in battle, few feel fear; they mostly feel excitement.

After all, for most Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, from birth they have been instilled with the idea that they exist for battle.

If they die in battle, for most Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, that is an honor.

Huang Lao had just caught his breath when, the next second, he heard someone shout loudly.

"The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons have come again to bring warmth."

???

Upon hearing that, Huang Lao, as well as the Heavenly Family Ancestor, Miao Cuihua, and the others around him, all looked up.

Indeed, from the Mining Domain entrance, Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients had rushed out.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Family Ancestor also smiled and said.

"Yo, are these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons so warm-hearted? They even come out without being hooked."

Earlier, the Heavenly Family Ancestor had hooked nothing at all; he had merely hooked emptiness.

Now he doesn't even need to try; the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons come to him on their own; such a good thing, he naturally won't miss it.

But as soon as the words fell, he quickly felt something was wrong.

Already some Human Race cultivators had gone forward to meet them, yet the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons rushing out of the Mining Domain entrance showed no sign of stopping.

A continuous stream of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons kept pouring out from inside; seeing this, the Heavenly Family Ancestor was stunned, then quickly realized the problem.

"Holy shit, this isn't bringing warmth; these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are going to attack."

Until several Leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons charged out of the Mining Domain entrance, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and the few Present Era's Strongest were completely certain that this was a counterattack launched by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

This is completely different from those earlier clueless "warmthbringers"; one cannot be careless.

"Quickly mobilize people."

After saying that, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, Huang Lao, Miao Cuihua, and the few Present Era's Strongest immediately took action, blocking those Leader-level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

In this counterattack, the number of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons was not small; in a short time, it had already exceeded ten thousand.

Moreover, at the Mining Domain entrance, there was no pause; more Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons kept pouring out from within.

At the same time, on the Human Race side, those cultivators who had been resting also quickly received the support signal.

They kept rushing over, neither side slow to react; for a moment, around the entrance of the Mining Domain, a battle was about to break out.

Although also on the battlefield, Ye Zhangqing did not go into the fight; instead, he protected Xu Jie as they retreated.

Xu Jie lacked the strength; for a battle of this level, going up there would be of little use—he would likely just become cannon fodder.

Ye Zhangqing would naturally not let Xu Jie take risks.

As for himself, going to the battlefield yields far less benefit than manning the stove.

Now that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon has launched a counterattack, Ye Zhangqing's first reaction is to go to the Fire Room to cook, boosting morale and also allowing the wounded to recover quickly.

Now Ye Zhangqing has mastered many spiritual foods that aid in healing wounds, and their effect—well, it's improved by who knows how many times over the lower realm; even compared to when he first arrived in the Immortal Realm, the improvement is obvious.

Helping everyone recover from their injuries and letting them enjoy a good meal is far better than him going onto the battlefield.

Even this wasn't Ye Zhangqing's own idea; just then, a Heavenly Palace Celestial Official flew by, saw Ye Zhangqing, and said with a doubtful look.

"Young Master Ye, this place is dangerous—what are you doing here? Quickly retreat to the rear."

"Senior, this junior plans to go to the Fire Room to cook."

"Hey, that's a good idea—hurry up and go."
