Chapter 2636: What the Hell Brought Me Here?

Looking at the blood-colored palace before them, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe both had deep anticipation in their eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why Tianhe had schemed for so long and was determined to seize this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's royal court.

Not only because the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and the Human Race are mortal enemies, but also because within this royal court might lie the great opportunity they have been seeking.

Now the core of this royal court lies right before their eyes; how could they not anticipate it?

"Let's go."

Tianhe let out a low shout and immediately took the lead, walking into the blood palace.

Around the blood palace there were hardly any defenses, and as for formations, they don't even exist.

Along the way they encountered few obstacles, and the crowd entered the interior of the blood palace.

The furnishings inside the blood palace are not much different from the outside; although the space is not small, the construction is rather crude.

This is also a consistent trait of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons—they never thought about pursuing refinement.

As for knowledge of the blood palace, the Human Race actually knows little, almost nothing.

Therefore, after entering the blood palace, everyone was actually feeling their way bit by bit.

They had yet to see the imagined treasures and opportunities; when they finally reached the deepest part of the blood palace, what met their eyes was a blood gate.

A massive blood gate emitting red light.

"What is this? A teleportation gate?"

The Heavenly Family elder looked at the massive blood gate before him, furrowed his brow slightly, and said, "Is the only thing hidden in the deepest part of this blood palace merely a blood gate that resembles a teleportation gate?"

He inevitably felt a bit disappointed, yet everyone couldn't help but grow curious about this blood gate.

After all, to appear here, protected layer upon layer by the blood palace, under normal circumstances there would certainly be defenses.

Given such importance attached to it, this blood gate must not be simple.

At this moment, a Heavenly Palace Celestial Official guessed aloud.

"Could this blood gate be the entrance to the treasury? Otherwise, we haven't seen anything good along the way."

They had gained something, but it fell far short of expectations; this meager gain completely failed to match what everyone had anticipated.

As soon as that Celestial Official finished speaking, the others present nodded slightly, indicating agreement.

This speculation isn't baseless; it might indeed be the case.

However, acting rashly, no one dared to act recklessly.

If it isn't, then they would very likely be walking into danger.

However, while everyone was doubtful, the previously still blood gate suddenly burst forth with a piercing blood-red light.

Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing reacted the fastest, both shouting almost immediately.

"Be careful."

Zhao Tianqing didn't even think; he stepped forward to shield Ye Zhangqing in front of him—at the very least, he had to ensure Ye Zhangqing's safety.

The two simultaneously released their own Línglì, forming an invisible Línglì barrier ahead.

What surprised everyone was the defense jointly laid out by Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing.

Yet in the face of this blood-red light, it didn't even block a single breath.

At the moment of contact, the Línglì barrier of Tianhe and Zhao Tianqing seemed to dissolve instantly.

It offered not the slightest resistance and was instantly broken.

Seeing this, both frowned, wanting to act, but by then the blood-red light had already enveloped everyone.

Under the shroud of that blood-red light, everyone felt their bodies being forcibly dragged into the blood gate as if they had no control.

The whole process was quick—just a few breaths.

Everyone still wanted to struggle, but after a few attempts they found it utterly useless.

The strength of their struggle, before this blood-red light, was simply too minuscule.

The crowd that had gathered in the hall soon vanished without a trace, Ye Zhangqing included.

After a spell of dizziness, when Ye Zhangqing came to his senses again, he found himself apparently on a plain.

But looking around, the surroundings were utterly barren, not a single plant in sight.

The land was bare, presenting a dark red like blood.

A gust of wind blew, kicking up dust that dyed the sky blood-red as well.

"Tianlin, Miao Qianqian……"

Turning his head, he happened to see Tianlin and Miao Qianqian still unconscious; they had been standing beside him earlier, so it seemed they had been transported to the same place.

He hurried forward to wake the closer Miao Qianqian; she groggily opened her eyes and instinctively asked:

"What the hell brought me here?"

She had no time to react earlier; she just felt a strong suction pull, then lost consciousness, and upon waking found herself here.

After slightly steadying herself and seeing Ye Zhangqing before her, she finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Ye Zhangqing was also present, which proved that everyone was likely still alive.

"How are you? All right?"

After asking a few concerned questions and confirming Miao Qianqian was fine, Ye Zhangqing then got up and approached Tianlin.

He called out a few times, but Tianlin showed no reaction at all.

Furrowing his brow slightly, at that moment the recovered Miao Qianqian walked over, looking at Tianlin whose eyes remained tightly shut, and grinned.

"Let me handle it."

"Huh???"

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing froze, mainly because Miao Qianqian's smile seemed odd; he had a feeling she was up to something bad.

But before Ye Zhangqing could answer, Miao Qianqian already squatted down on her own, gazing at the still-unconscious Tianlin.

He swung his arm round and slapped him hard across the ear with a pa.

The sound was deafening; even Ye Zhangqing standing nearby felt it hurt just watching.

"You are…………………"

"Hehe, this guy's ears are bad; just shouting like you, Brother Ye, is useless—you need to get hands-on."

"Huh??? There's this too? How come I didn't know?"

"It's not the first day I've known Tianlin; I never noticed before that this guy is hard of hearing."

"Besides, with Ancient Immortal Realm cultivation, how could he still have a hearing problem? That shouldn't be."

"His face is also red from being slapped; are you sure you're not taking revenge?"

"Just that, though this slap from Miao Qianqian looks like she's mixing public duty with personal grudge."

"But the effect is still pretty good—just like that, one slap and the previously unresponsive Tianlin finally woke up."

"He forced his eyes open, his thoughts still a bit muddled, looking at Ye Zhangqing and Miao Qianqian, he asked with a bewildered face."

""What's wrong? What happened? Where have we come to?""

"After three questions in a row, seeing Tianling wake up, Miao Qianqian showed a disappointed expression, but quickly turned to Ye Zhangqing and said."

""See? I told you this move would work—look, he's awake now.""

"Huh???"

"Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing wore a strange expression—yes, he's awake, but his face is swollen."

"Besides, did you use your cultivation when you just struck? This isn't revenge—who would be a good person and use cultivation at a time like this?"

"He gave Tianlin a strange look."
