Chapter 2646: It ends before entering the village
If the strength of this village town is not strong, the two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials can directly suppress it, then naturally there is no danger.
But if the strength of this village town is too strong, exceeding them, then the danger is high.
Everyone understands this, Ye Zhangqing is the same.
But Ye Zhangqing actually leans more toward the danger being high.
After all, from the previous Qitaixing, it's not hard to guess that the beings of this realm probably have not low cultivation strength.
As for the previous Qitaixing, although Ye Zhangqing doesn't know his status in this village town, his strength is indeed already able to match the Human Race's Present Era's Strongest.
From this, we judge that the overall strength of the beings of this realm is not weak.
Combining this with the previous three giant snakes and the strength of that Fire Spirit Chicken further confirms this speculation.
So, even if staying in place, Ye Zhangqing still did not relax.
On the other side, the two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials led over a hundred strongest Heavenly Palace experts, cautiously feeling their way to the outskirts of this village town.
Before they could even enter the village, several figures suddenly appeared all around.
These figures are all stout middle-aged women; compared to Human Race female cultivators, their bodies are simply like savage oxen.
Their muscles, their arms—just looking at them makes one's scalp go numb, full of wild power.
And their clothing, like the previous Qitaixing they encountered, are simple animal-skin vests, quite rugged.
At this moment, these stout women frowned and looked at the Heavenly Palace crowd.
They muttered incomprehensible words, again this situation, but their tone of speech was the same as the previous Qitaixing.
Really a gang?
At this moment, while the Heavenly Palace crowd was doubtful, these women communicated with each other.
"Outsiders?"
"Looks like it, they are not beings of my Savage Divine Realm, nor from other tribes."
"How did the outsiders get in?"
"Don't know, let's capture them first and talk later."
"Alright, let's wait for the Clan Chief and them to return before discussing."
They quickly reached a decision, and immediately the gazes of several stout women locked onto the Heavenly Palace crowd.
Being locked by those gazes, all the Heavenly Palace experts who came felt their hearts sink, including the two leading Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials.
It's not because these women are overly stout that frightened them.
It's entirely because the aura emitted by these women is not at all weaker than that of the two leading Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials.
All seven of them are comparable to the Human Race's Present Era's Strongest—this is absurd.
This means they are now facing seven Present Era's Strongest.
In contrast, they only have two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials who possess the cultivation realm of Present Era's Strongest.
Fighting two against seven, they obviously have no chance of winning.
"Troublesome."
One Celestial Official secretly sent a voice transmission; upon hearing it, the other didn't hesitate much and likewise replied with a solemn face.
"Send a message telling Ye Xiaozi and them to run first, however far they can go."
"Okay."
These people probably can't escape; with such a strength gap, even trying to flee is difficult, but Ye Zhangqing and them still have a chance to escape.
First send a signal to let Ye Zhangqing and them go first; as for themselves, they'll look for another chance to break free.
Thinking this, the Celestial Official who spoke first immediately launched a signal.
The seven stout women around obviously didn't know the meaning of the signal, but could guess it's definitely not a good thing for them.
So, one woman decisively shouted.
"Attack, first capture these outsiders."
"Okay."
Then, the seven stout women rushed toward the crowd from different directions like seven tigers descending the mountain.
Although their numbers are few, only seven, when they attack, their momentum is not at all weaker than the hundreds on the Heavenly Palace side.
Even calling them fierce women is insufficient to describe these seven stout women; they are more like tigers descending the mountain.
Facing the assault of these seven stout women, the Human Race side naturally could not just surrender.
Under the leadership of the two Celestial Officials, they immediately launched a furious counterattack.
But after just one exchange, the strength disparity between the sides became apparent.
The two Celestial Officials, even one-on-one, are already at their limit, basically gaining no advantage.
As for the remaining four stout women, naturally no one can stop them.
Fortunately, they seem not intent on killing, preferring to injure and capture alive.
The battle outside the tribe broke out; speaking of another side, where Ye Zhangqing is.
Just now, everyone saw the Celestial Official's retreat signal sent over, and they all were stunned.
"The Celestial Official wants us to retreat?"
"What happened? No need for support?"
"Let's retreat first, afraid something big happened."
When planning the operation earlier, they had explained three kinds of signals.
One means no danger, one is a support signal, and another is a direct retreat.
And once a direct retreat signal appears, it proves the situation is hopeless, no need for support—first find a chance to escape.
So, upon seeing the two Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials send out the retreat signal, everyone then clearly froze, shocked beyond measure.
How long have we been traveling, and we've already encountered an unstoppable danger?
After a brief shock, everyone quickly reacted; though unwilling, they decided to retreat first and discuss later.
But before anyone could act, suddenly more than ten sturdy women appeared all around.
These more than ten sturdy women, though they had not reached the Human Race's Present Era's Strongest level, were comparable to the Ancestor Immortal Realm in cultivation.
That is, the cultivation realm above the Ancient Immortal Realm.
"This…………………"
Moreover, among those present, there was not a single Heavenly Palace expert with Ancestor Immortal Realm cultivation; previously, they had all been acting together with those two Heavenly Officials.
Therefore, facing more than ten sturdy women comparable to the Human Race's Ancestor Immortal Realm in cultivation, everyone instantly fell into despair.
And when faced with these women's shouts, everyone indicated they couldn't understand a word, unable to communicate at all.
"Indeed, they're from the same place as that person earlier."
"What should we do now?"
"I don't know."
Not understanding these women's words, naturally we don't know what they mean.
However, soon after, as these women made a move and the two sides briefly clashed, it was discovered that these sturdy women had no intention to kill; they seemed only to want to capture everyone alive.
Seeing that we were completely no match, if we continued fighting we might provoke them, and these sturdy women would likely really erupt and kill.
Ye Zhangqing made a decisive decision and shouted.
"Everyone, stop."
Upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, although everyone was doubtful, they still chose to obey, each surrendering with bound hands.
Since we cannot match them in strength, we can only feign weakness for now and look for an opportunity later.
And indeed, just as Ye Zhangqing had thought, after everyone stopped resisting, these more than ten sturdy women did not attack; they simply restrained everyone and then escorted them all the way back to the tribe.
