Chapter 2778: with translation of chapter title

The Heavenly Family was busy Beyond the Heavens for three days, and finally they got this piece of information.

Beyond the Heavens, the Heavenly Family's reputation really isn't useful anymore.

Those Human Race cultivators who have long been wandering Beyond the Heavens simply don't buy into it, let alone the Heavenly Palace.

So Hong Zun felt that he had to personally take action to be reliable; anyway, no matter what, he had to give it a try.

Faced with Hong Zun's insistence, those few Heavenly Family elders exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

"Alright, we'll go together to have a look, but you must not cause trouble."

"Don't worry, is the Dao One Immortal Sect the kind of people who cause trouble?"

"Isn't that so?"

Hong Zun gave a solemn assurance, but as soon as he said that, he was met with the strange gazes of several Heavenly Family elders.

In the Immortal Realm these past few years, if we're talking about who causes the most trouble, it's surely your Dao One Immortal Sect, and you still have the nerve to say that?

However, faced with those gazes, Hong Zun calmly chose to ignore them.

He still has that thick skin; it's just a few glances—ignore them and it's over.

Having decided on the matter, naturally not too many people should go to that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's court, otherwise the Heavenly Palace would certainly be dissatisfied.

In the end, it was three Heavenly Family elders, plus Yun Xiantai, Qi Xiong, and Hong Zun, making six people who set out.

Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls originally also wanted to go, after all Ye Zhangqing had gone missing, and they were surely the most anxious.

However, at present those few girls have the highest cultivation, and among the disciples in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, someone still needs to protect them, lest something unexpected happen.

In the end, those few girls had to stay behind to hold down the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

The next morning, the six boarded the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel that the Heavenly Family had found, and directly left the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, heading for that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's court.

Recently, that court has caused quite a stir among the Human Race, after all this is also the first time the Human Race has taken down an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon's court.

It also caused two Vice Palace Masters of the Heavenly Palace to mysteriously disappear; all these reasons together naturally arouse interest.

Precisely because too many people were heading to that court, the Heavenly Palace simply chose to blockade it.

After all, with so many people and mixed eyes, who knows what might happen; moreover, saving lives is important now, so the Heavenly Palace certainly could not ignore the disappearance of those two Vice Palace Masters, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe.

These are truly the top bigwigs of the Heavenly Palace; they must certainly mount a full-scale rescue.

Therefore, even though many people wanted to go to that court to try their luck, without exception they were all stopped outside by the Heavenly Palace.

Hong Zun and his six companions, dusty and weary, arrived at that court, and naturally it was the same.

The Heavenly Palace had completely blocked off the surroundings of the court with a Formation; no one could get in, and if anyone tried to break the Formation forcibly, the Heavenly Palace would sense it immediately.

Looking at such a tight blockade, a Heavenly Family elder spoke up.

"You stay on the vessel; I'll go talk first."

"Forcibly breaking in definitely won't work; the Heavenly Palace, as the strongest power in the Human Race without equal, who would dare to really provoke this colossus?"

"Since the hard way won't work, we can only try the soft way."

"After all, the Heavenly Family is the number one clan of the Immortal Realm, and Tianhe is still a member of the Heavenly Family; although they basically have no connection anymore, the blood relation is there."

"The Heavenly Palace might give us a bit of face."

"Anyway, aside from this method, the three Heavenly Family elders have no other means."

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun curled his lip, about to speak, but was stopped first by Qi Xiong beside him.

He gave a warning glance, then turned his head and smiled.

"Alright, then thank you, Dao friend."

"Mm."

He nodded, and that Heavenly Family elder immediately leapt off the vessel.

After waiting back in the room, Hong Zun then spoke dissatisfiedly.

"Senior Brother, what was that just now? The Heavenly Family's face doesn't work at all Beyond the Heavens; going there probably won't accomplish anything."

"Even gathering news in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens is halting; now wanting to enter that court is even more impossible."

"Anyway, Hong Zun feels that the Heavenly Family's face has little use Beyond the Heavens."

"Regarding that, Qi Xiong naturally understands as well, and nodded."

"What you say is correct, but we also can't directly refute their face like that; let's wait a bit."

"\"Wait? Senior Brother, we're here to save people; do you think we're on a picnic?"

"Faced with that, Hong Zun spoke dissatisfiedly; saving people is urgent—where would we have time to waste now?"

"However, Qi Xiong would not allow it, and Hong Zun had no choice but to wait helplessly."

"The Heavenly Family stepped forward to negotiate with the Heavenly Palace."

"We thought it would take a while, but before a quarter of an hour had passed, that Heavenly Family elder came back dejected."

"His face bore a hint of anger; one could tell the talks probably broke down."

"Without asking, one could guess that the Heavenly Palace likely gave no face at all, just saying that the Heavenly Family's face doesn't work Beyond the Heavens."

"\"The Heavenly Palace's attitude is firm; nobody can enter, we…………………"

"As expected, the result was not far from what Hong Zun had guessed; the Heavenly Palace's attitude was resolute, basically leaving no possibility."

"Faced with that, Hong Zun stood up and said."

"\"Let me try."

"\"You?"

"Upon hearing that, one of the Heavenly Family elders glanced over suspiciously, full of disbelief in his eyes, and then continued speaking."

"\"Even our Heavenly Family can't get in; if you go, what can you do? Give up—this is a dead order from the Heavenly Palace; nobody can enter."

"\"If the Heavenly Family can't, can your Dao One Immortal Sect do it?"

"\"Our Heavenly Family's name is useless Beyond the Heavens; your Dao One Immortal Sect then basically has no name at all—they probably haven't even heard of it."

Just facing the doubts of the three Heavenly Family Elders, Hong Zun said lightly.

Who knows? We've come all this way; we can't just go back like this—let's give it a try.

Having said that much, the three Heavenly Family Elders exchanged a glance, seeming to agree.

After all, we've come this far; although there's hardly any chance, trying won't hurt.

Besides, if we don't let those from the Dao One Immortal Sect try it themselves, they probably won't give up.

Thinking this through, the three Heavenly Family Elders no longer objected.

Fine, then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist, to make the introduction; as soon as you see the person, the rest is up to me.

Huh??? You don't even know the person, and you're still talking bullshit here.

Hearing Hong Zun's words, the three Heavenly Family Elders always felt something was off—you don't even know anyone from the Heavenly Palace, yet you want to try something?

Although the Heavenly Family hasn't succeeded and their influence is weak, at least they still know people.

After a moment's pause, one of the Heavenly Family Elders still nodded.

Alright, let's go together.

Junior Brother, are you confident?

I don't know; let's go first and see.

Qi Xiong, standing nearby, was a bit worried; hearing this, Hong Zun replied truthfully.

We haven't even seen the person yet—who knows what the outcome will be—but still, that saying holds: trying can't hurt.

Immediately, Hong Zun followed one of the Heavenly Family Elders away from the immortal vessel.
