Chapter 2854: What a fine old thing!

Sitting on the Feather God Tribe's feather vessel, Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping felt no sense of how much time had passed before they arrived outside the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

That speed was indeed absurdly fast.

Under the guidance of this Feather God Tribe expert, the two came onto the deck of the feather vessel.

At this moment, the entire feather vessel had left the void and was steadily anchored in the starry expanse beyond the heavens.

Standing on the deck, looking far away, one could indeed see the outline of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, though there was still some distance.

It seems this Feather God Tribe elder is not completely foolish; he still knows to be cautious and dare not rashly approach the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

After all, even if he thought he had guaranteed a safe distance, it was actually of little use.

Having come this far, this distance is nothing at all.

Seeing Xu Jie and the other arrive, the Feather God Tribe Elder spoke lightly.

"Today, if you two have any grievances, lay them all out so everyone can hear."

Facing the Feather God Tribe Elder, Zhao Zhengping wore a dazed expression, while Xu Jie feigned anger and gritted his teeth.

"The grievances my brother and I have suffered since childhood cannot be explained in a few words, but thank you, Senior, for upholding justice for us."

Xu Jie looked as if he wanted to charge into the city and kill, an expression of hatred to the bone.

The Feather God Tribe Elder grew ever more pleased with this; the more Xu Jie and the other hated the Human Race, the happier he became, and their utility value rose accordingly.

So upon hearing Xu Jie's words, the Elder smiled and comforted.

"Rest assured, the Feather God Tribe will surely let you brothers avenge your great grudge in the future."

"Thank you, Senior."

Hearing that, Xu Jie quickly clasped his hands with a grateful expression.

The Feather God Tribe's feather vessel concealed nothing at all, and moreover the Human Race side had been prepared, so as soon as it appeared, it was directly discovered by the Human Race.

However, the Human Race did not act rashly; instead, they immediately informed Zhao Tianqing, Tianhe, Ye Zhangqing, and others.

The plan had long been set; they were merely waiting for the Feather God Tribe to arrive.

At the Tian Family Estate, upon learning that the Feather God Tribe had arrived, Ye Zhangqing looked to Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe at his side and said.

"Seniors, it's up to you."

Hearing that, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe exchanged a strange look and nodded.

This is indeed a good opportunity to capture this batch of Feather God Tribe members, but for Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe, their feelings are somewhat complicated.

Their task is to let the Feather God Tribe relax its guard as much as possible.

Since the Feather God Tribe has identified Xu Jie and the other's identities, they naturally cannot expose them; they must go along with the act.

Yet under everyone's watchful eyes, suddenly acknowledging two sons feels wrong no matter how you think about it.

Even with Zhao Tianqing's thick skin, he could hardly bear it.

How will they explain this later?

It's merely for the sake of the greater good, to create an opportunity for Qi Wu and the others, yet they cannot skip this act, nor let the Feather God Tribe notice any clues.

Otherwise, if the other side becomes wary, they might just run away.

By then, not only would they fail to rescue Xu Jie and the other, but they might even harm them—something Ye Zhangqing clearly would not allow.

The two nodded, and soon outside the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, Heavenly Palace experts appeared one after another.

The Feather God Tribe Elder standing far away on the deck of the feather vessel, upon seeing the Human Race experts appear, let out a cold laugh and said.

"It seems the Human Race has already noticed that guests have come calling."

Saying that, he turned his head and nodded at Xu Jie and the other, making it clear that it was their turn to take the stage.

At the same time, Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping naturally also saw Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe at the forefront of the Human Race experts.

Zhao Zhengping's head was buzzing; facing Tianhe, he wondered what he should say.

He had no idea what to say, after all he's not some 'Tian Zhengping', and suddenly a living father pops up—he's dazed too.

Fortunately, Xu Jie reacted quickly; having come this far, he certainly couldn't slip up now, or else all their previous efforts would be wasted.

Since they're doing it, they must go all the way; the person is right in front of them, so they must acknowledge him as father.

Otherwise, if the Feather God Tribe notices any clue, they're likely done for.

Until safety is truly confirmed, this act must continue.

Now Xu Jie's sole worry is whether Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe can pull off this act.

After all, there was no prior contact; now they can only rely on on-the-spot performance.

Xu Jie can guarantee himself, but he still feels uneasy about Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe.

It seems this act still needs him to take the lead.

Thinking this, Xu Jie glanced at the dazed Zhao Zhengping beside him; as for his Senior Brother, he held no hope at all.

This matter is fundamentally beyond his ability; in the end, only Xu Lǎosān can turn the tide.

Taking a step forward and standing at the front of the deck, Xu Jie instantly showed an expression of extreme anger.

That expression perfectly depicted a hatred to the bone.

His gaze locked tightly on Zhao Tianqing, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Old thing, I didn't expect to see you again. Back then you didn't kill me Zhao Jie, but I will surely kill you in the future."

Huh???

As soon as he opened his mouth with 'Old thing,' Zhao Tianqing's mouth twitched involuntarily; this little brat has no respect.

But at this moment he couldn't refute, so he could only go along with Xu Jie's act.

Xu Jie had just spoken his own name, clearly intending to remind Zhao Tianqing not to get the name wrong.

Otherwise, if even the name were wrong, even a fool could see something was off.

Zhao Tianqing naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake; he calmly looked toward Xu Jie and said.

"Rebellious son, do you still have the nerve to come back?"

"Hmph, why would I have no face to come back? It's you who lacks face. As the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, you harmed your own kin—what face do you have left to lead our Human Race?"

Xu Jie saw Zhao Tianqing take up his cue, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

It looks like the junior martial brother had already planned this with them.

Although we don't know Ye Zhangqing and the others' specific plan, Zhao Tianqing performed perfectly, so Xu Jie was no longer panicked.

He immediately began to show off his acting skills.

If the other side isn't lame, then this show can go on.

As the father and son exchanged words before the formation, it sounded like it really was the case.

The Feather God Tribe elder beside them no longer had any doubt; it seemed the facts were exactly as those two brats said.

Therefore, using the two of them to strike at the Human Race's morale, this idea is feasible.

With these two in hand, there are too many things that can be manipulated.

The looks directed at Xu Jie and the other person all unconsciously grew kinder.

Meanwhile, on the Human Race side, many Heavenly Palace experts who followed Zhao Tianqing and the others now felt their scalps go numb.

What did they hear? Palace Master Zhao Tianqing actually has a son?

And this son is actually Xu Jie of the Dao One Immortal Sect? Impossible—how could the Dao One Immortal Sect, founded only a few years ago, have any connection with Zhao Tianqing?
