Chapter 2558: Go ahead and punish!

The Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple's words sounded plausible, yet they always felt off; he just couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.

Facing the doubts of the few, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple continued to explain desperately, hoping to escape as soon as possible.

He had just been flustered, but now that he had come to his senses, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple actually felt fortunate.

After all, compared to being in the hands of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, it seemed easier to escape from the Human Race.

First, the relationship between the Human Race and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe is already decent; he hasn't provoked the Human Race, and they wouldn't kill him for no reason.

So as long as he could convince these few people, escaping shouldn't be difficult.

Unlike with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, where they would really kill people for no reason.

Faced with the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple's continual explanations, the few were almost persuaded.

"If that's the case, then you may leave on your own, and don't come near here."

"The Heavenly Spirit Tribe is useless anyway; since he was accidentally rescued, just let him go."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple was moved to tears; he had said all that just waiting for these words.

He had been plotting how to escape, but who would have thought the pleasant surprise would come so quickly, and by a twist of fate he succeeded.

As soon as those words were spoken, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple immediately thanked them.

As for his cooperation with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, naturally he didn't mention a word of it.

Could he say that? Obviously not; it would be impossible to tell these Human Race cultivators that he had come here originally to deal with them.

The urgent priority now is to escape first and talk later.

But before the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple could speak, a large batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons suddenly rushed out from the Mining Domain entrance.

At the forefront was that Demon God, glaring with anger and letting out a loud roar.

"Release that Heavenly Spirit Tribe."

"Huh???"

Seeing the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons rush out again, those in charge of defense were all stunned.

No one could understand how these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons dared to do that.

They had just suffered a major defeat, and only a short time has passed—how dare they come out?

Especially that Demon God who shouted angrily; if I'm not mistaken, it should still be in its weakened period.

Is it rushing out to seek death?

"Heavenly Spirit Tribe? What Heavenly Spirit Tribe?"

However, at this moment, the few who had extracted the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple fixed their gazes on him.

They had originally intended to release him, but now it seemed off; this bastard wasn't telling the truth.

After all, according to his words, he was simply captured by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to mine.

But if that were truly the case, could the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon muster such a massive force to rescue him? Absolutely not.

Under the gaze of the few, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple also felt his heart sink, silently cursing.

"Damn it."

"These Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons cling like vengeful spirits; I'm about to leave, why are you chasing after me?"

"Now things are fine, but there may be a change."

"There wasn't even time to think further; he wanted to speak, but the few gave him no chance as one of them grabbed him and said in a daze."

"This guy has a problem; lock him up first, we'll interrogate him later."

"Okay."

"Releasing him is definitely out of the question, but for now we must first deal with the threat of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, so we can only temporarily lock him up."

Having said that, the person directly took the Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple and walked toward the rear.

As for the others, they again engaged in fierce battle with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons.

At the same time, Zhao Lao, Huang Lao, and the Heavenly Family Ancestor also joined the battle.

Once again, old rivals Zhao Lao and that Demon God clashed fiercely.

While fighting, Zhao Lao was full of doubts: what madness has possessed this guy? In this state, he dares to actively seek battle?

"You really want to die."

"Cut the nonsense, hand over the person, and I can withdraw."

"Person? What person???"

Upon hearing that, Zhao Lao frowned slightly, wondering who these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were attacking for, disregarding all caution.

"What just happened?"

Zhao Lao was completely bewildered, but since this guy dared to come out, regardless of the reason, taking him on is certain.

"Even though the weakened period from burning essence and blood hasn't passed, he still dares to come; if we don't take care of him, we can't let it go."

So Zhao Lao held nothing back, immediately launching a fierce assault on that Demon God.

Following the same rhythm as before, even though the Demon God was extremely anxious, it was still quickly completely suppressed.

The remaining Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were similarly at a disadvantage.

After all, this battle was already inexplicable; having just suffered a major defeat, they haven't even caught their breath—yet they come again?

Their morale hasn't recovered much either; most of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons lack any fighting spirit.

If it weren't for the Demon God's stubborn demand, they wouldn't have emerged from the Mining Domain.

Thus, they are naturally no match for the Human Race.

The battle continued, but it didn't last long before the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons began to collapse.

And that Demon God, who had been gritting his teeth and persisting, had already given his all.

But now, not to mention rescuing people, even the whereabouts of that Heavenly Spirit Tribe disciple, it couldn't find.

As the situation grew increasingly dire, this demon god also realized the matter was hopeless; continuing to fight to the death, let alone the extraterrestrial heavenly demons below, even it might not be able to escape intact.

Helpless, it could only grit its teeth and give up; after paying the price of another arm, the demon god led the extraterrestrial heavenly demons back into the mining domain.

Another great victory, and another haul of ingredients.

Although this battle was fought for no clear reason, everyone still couldn't help feeling a burst of joy.

After all, the ingredients were in hand; no matter what kind of madness those extraterrestrial heavenly demons were up to, everyone was sure to profit without loss.

"A small profit."

Many human race cultivators were busy bringing the ingredients back to the fire room, while Zhao Lao, under the guidance of those few human race cultivators, met that heavenly spirit tribe spirit child.

Having already suspected this fellow was problematic, several people naturally reported the matter to Zhao Lao so he would know.

Upon hearing that a heavenly spirit tribe member had been fished out of the mining domain, Zhao Lao furrowed his brows, wondering how a heavenly spirit tribe could be here.

Boarding one of the immortal vessels, he saw that heavenly spirit tribe spirit child, and Zhao Lao asked.

"How did you end up here?"

Facing Zhao Lao's questioning, that heavenly spirit tribe spirit child still gave the same excuse as before, but it was obviously thought out, much more rigorous than earlier.

It was prepared in advance, unlike the earlier panic.

However, Zhao Lao simply wouldn't buy that act; after he finished speaking, Zhao Lao slowly said.

"You are a heavenly spirit tribe spirit child, right?"

"I……………………… I'm not."

At a glance I recognized his identity, but that heavenly spirit tribe spirit child immediately shook his head in denial, insisting he was not a heavenly spirit tribe spirit child.

Seeing this, Zhao Lao fell silent for a moment, then stopped wasting words and rose to speak.

"There's not a word of truth; asking is pointless—just torture him. Let me know whenever he decides to talk."
