Chapter 2628: First, Release the People

After this battle, whether the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons of this royal court can protect themselves is a problem—where do they get the gall to still provoke?

Upon hearing that, Tianhe became curious, while the Heavenly Palace powerhouse before him also replied truthfully.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons have hung that traitor Luo Wenxuan at the most conspicuous spot of the royal court's entrance—how is that not provocation?"

Hmm???

Hearing that, Tianhe blinked slightly, then turned his head to glance at Zhao Tianqing.

Luo Wenxuan, that bastard, was hung up by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons? This……………………

Feeling a hint of curiosity, Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing exchanged a glance and immediately led a group of people rushing to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons' royal court.

As for that Heavenly Palace powerhouse, after finishing the report, he without hesitation joined the line to grab food.

Although he had just eaten a bowl and the side effects of the Mìfǎ had been completely eliminated, that bowl wasn't enough; with the opportunity still there, he naturally had to grab another bowl.

And with the battle ending, Ye Zhangqing naturally rested as well.

That recent busyness indeed left him feeling some fatigue—on one hand he had to prepare food to eliminate the Mìfǎ's side effects, on the other he had to save people.

Both stoves were in use; one could say he was busy to the point of not touching the ground, but now he could finally catch his breath.

"How come I suddenly have a feeling of a past life?"

He smiled bitterly to himself; in his past life it was just like that—to settle down in that unfamiliar city, he worked from morning till night, swinging the pot and spatula until they flew.

But even so, the goal remained far out of reach, truly difficult.

"But winning is enough."

He was tired, but having ultimately won, his efforts weren't wasted.

Leaning wearily on the Tǎng yǐ to rest, watching Ye Zhangqing's weary appearance, the others also resting on the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, though they still savored the taste of the food.

Especially those Heavenly Palace powerhouses, they occasionally licked their lips; the first time eating, it was completely insufficient.

However, no one dared to go up and urge Ye Zhangqing.

Even each of them thought considerately that the kid Ye must be tired, that he should rest; food could wait a bit longer, they could endure, as long as they didn't see or smell it.

On the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, all was peaceful and everyone was resting.

Meanwhile, beyond this royal court of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, the so-called divine protection of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had already been activated.

It firmly guarded the entire royal court.

As for the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons' divine protection, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe were no strangers to it; it resembled the Human Race's moat defense formation, but the principle was completely different.

Breaking it wasn't impossible, but even if Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe acted personally, breaking the divine protection guarding this royal court remained troublesome, requiring effort.

However, the group didn't come here to break that divine protection.

Right now the divine protection had just been activated, a time when its power was at its peak.

The best option now is to ignore it for a while, drag out time, let the divine protection expend some of its own strength, weaken it, then act—breaking it would then save much effort.

This time they came mainly to take a look at that traitor Luo Wenxuan.

Just as that Heavenly Palace powerhouse had said earlier, as soon as Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe arrived outside the royal court, they saw from afar Luo Wenxuan hanging at the entrance.

At that moment, Luo Wenxuan, wearing an expression of utter hopelessness, was suspended in midair, wanting to break free but having no way to do so.

"Really, this bastard."

Upon seeing Luo Wenxuan, Tianhe's eyes flashed with intense killing intent; if this person isn't eliminated, it will be a stain on his life.

And Luo Wenxuan, seeing Tianhe at the same time, wore an expression of extreme complexity; he never imagined the outcome would be like this.

"You damn well might as well just kill me outright."

"Old Man Tian, did the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons misunderstand something?"

Zhao Tianqing was much calmer than Tianhe; looking at Luo Wenxuan's state, he quickly formed a guess.

Combining what had happened before, it seemed the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had taken Luo Wenxuan for a traitor, thinking he was colluding with the Human Race from outside, which led to their great defeat.

And that formation was probably a self-staged bitter ploy by the Human Race.

Upon hearing Zhao Tianqing's words, Tianhe understood his meaning without needing him to spell it out.

Yet in his heart he couldn't help but feel a secret joy; looking at the miserable Luo Wenxuan, he stepped forward without reservation and sneered.

"Bastard, you too have your day."

"You defected to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, betrayed the Human Race—hmph, what's the final result? Do they even consider you one of their own?"

"A traitor ends up nowhere good—like a street rat, everyone despises him."

Facing Tianhe's mockery, Luo Wenxuan had only one question in his mind, and he gritted his teeth.

"How did you break the formation? This formation is something I researched and improved over many years; you lot will absolutely not be able to break it."

Upon hearing that, Tianhe let out a cold laugh.

"Hah, can't break it? Bastard, you're overestimating yourself—your half-baked tricks, any random three-year-old of the Human Race could solve them."

"You……………………"

"Zhao Tianqing, Tianhe, how is it you want to save people?"

Just as Luo Wenxuan was about to speak, the two Demon Gods of this royal court suddenly appeared.

They hung Luo Wenxuan here precisely to threaten the Human Race, making them hesitate to act so they could negotiate terms.

Now that the Human Race has arrived so quickly, the two Demon Gods naturally won't waste this opportunity.

Moreover, his heart grew more certain of his guess; he glanced at Luo Wenxuan and smirked inwardly.

"And you said you weren't an undercover agent—now your cover's blown, huh."

As for Luo Wenxuan, he was already at the point of wanting to cry but having no tears, and he weakly explained.

"I said it—I'm not some undercover agent; I'm a genuine traitor. Do you think these people came to save me? Absurd—go ask them yourself."

Luo Wenxuan thought, if you don't believe what I said, then go ask yourself—see whether these people came to save me or to kill me.

As for that, the two Demon Gods naturally thought the same; one of them stepped before Tianhe and spoke in a cold voice.

Tianhe, this person is indeed a great hero of your Human Race; by the way, I also heard he is your adopted son—such a hero, also family, you wouldn't want him to suffer some misfortune, would you?

Huh???

Heh.

Lu Wenxuan sneered coldly, while Tianhe was slightly taken aback: "This dog-thing is a hero of our Human Race? How could I not know?"

This bastard is a disgrace to our Human Race, and still called a hero? What a load of crap hero.

Before Tianhe could reply, Zhao Tianqing beside him spoke up first.

"Stop, don't hurt him; we can discuss any terms—first release the person."

Upon hearing that, the Demon God turned its head to look at Zhao Tianqing, while Lu Wenxuan was outright dumbfounded: "What did you just say? Release him? You really intend to save me?"
