Chapter 2981: What about your poison skills?

Ye Zhangqing's group was already on the way back to Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, and meanwhile, Tianhe's side also received good news.

The Heavenly Palace's Palace Master, Yue Linxian, who previously could not be reached no matter what, actually managed to get through this time.

Hearing Yue Linxian's voice from the other end, Tianhe became so excited he choked up.

A hundred years, a hundred years — finally managed to get in touch with this old immortal.

After explaining the matter of the Xiāntiān rénzú to Yue Linxian, the other side fell silent for a moment, then replied.

"I can return to Immortal City Beyond the Heavens within a day; you two just hold off on doing anything for now."

After hanging up, Tianhe naturally told Zhao Tianqing the news right away; hearing it, Zhao Tianqing was overjoyed.

"Really got through?"

"Really, I wouldn't joke about this with you."

"Great, excellent — Ye Zhangqing's side has no problem either; they're currently heading back."

"Good, good, good — with this, there's hope to break the stalemate."

Both sides' progress went smoothly, and after a day, at the gate of Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, although Heavenly Palace personnel were still on duty, their expressions were all complicated.

It's obvious that what happened yesterday has already spread throughout the city; after all, that terrifying aura shooting up to the heavens couldn't be concealed, and many cultivators in the city felt it.

The sudden arrival of two powerful people of unknown identity would leave anyone feeling uneasy.

At that moment, among the queue entering the city, a short, unsavory-looking old man, just like yesterday, skipped the line and walked straight toward the gate.

Seeing this, the people around the gate looked at him with complex expressions; under normal circumstances, they'd think he was seeking his own death.

But after yesterday's incident, many people's thoughts shifted — could he be a companion of those two from yesterday?

Not to mention ordinary cultivators in the city; even the Heavenly Palace guardians on duty stepped forward with complex expressions to ask.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Even though their tone unconsciously softened, the detained unsavory old man still glared, stroked his beard, and snapped angrily.

"Are you blind? You don't even recognize this old man?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the Heavenly Palace guard carefully examined the unsavory old man from head to head for a while, growing more familiar, and suddenly showed a look of surprise and delight.

"Are you the Palace Master?"

"Nonsense, move aside."

Yue Linxian replied irritably, "As the Heavenly Palace's Palace Master, I finally made it back, only to be stopped by my own people."

The Heavenly Palace guard not only didn't get angry, but actually beamed with delight as he spoke.

"Palace Master, you've finally returned — something huge happened yesterday, you have no idea…………………"

With Yue Linxian's return, it seemed the mainstay had reappeared; although he's usually absent from Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, in prestige, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe can't even catch up by flattery.

After all, the founding of the Heavenly Palace, and even the establishment of Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, cannot be separated from Yue Linxian — one could say he single-handedly brought these into being.

Moreover, the many powerful cultivators of the Heavenly Palace, whose cultivation levels and longevities are vast, have mostly followed Yue Linxian from the start, so there's no lack of contact.

Thus, Yue Linxian's return boosted that Heavenly Palace guard's confidence greatly, and he immediately began to vent his grievances.

Listening to his account, Yue Linxian grew tired of hearing it all and waved a hand impatiently.

"Look at you — what's the big deal? Are you about to cry?"

"Palace Master, I'm not — it's just that they've been bullying us terribly."

"Enough, enough — don't blame others for your own lack of strength; quit the useless talk and get more training."

After scolding that Heavenly Palace guard, Yue Linxian strode into the city.

"What nonsense about the Xiāntiān rénzú — just two people scared you into this state."

He went straight to Zhao Tianqing's residence and indeed found the two of them there.

Upon seeing Yue Linxian, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe immediately rose to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Palace Master."

"Alright, cut the formalities — tell me the situation."

Upon hearing that, Zhao Tianqing gave a truthful account.

"Palace Master, those two claim to be from the Xiāntiān rénzú, they're very strong, and we're no match for them………………"

After listening to Zhao Tianqing's full report, Yue Linxian lifted his eyes, scanned the two, and asked in a low voice.

"So, what do you two think should be done?"

"Palace Master, I think we shouldn't act rashly now, given the opponent's strong strength — if………………"

But before Zhao Tianqing could finish, Yue Linxian cut him off directly.

"What the hell 'if' — they're about to raid your home, and you can still put up with it? You should definitely beat them."

"That said, Palace Master, the opponent's strength is truly not to be underestimated."

"If we're weaker, why not try a different approach?"

"A different approach?"

"You're really stupid — if the open way doesn't work, why not try a covert one?"

Seeing Zhao Tianqing and the other still clueless, Yue Linxian jumped up in frustration and snapped.

"Zhao Tianqing, is all that poison skill of yours for nothing? And you, Tianhe — you're versed in charm techniques, so use them."

Huh???

As soon as those words were spoken, both of their faces turned complex.

Zhao Tianqing's poison skill needs no saying — it was already proven during his time with the Barbarian God Tribe.

Even beings comparable to the Iron Peak Clan Chief among the Barbarian God Tribe were killed outright by him, showing how deep his ability runs.

Using poison is a viable option, but it requires a suitable opportunity; otherwise they won't let you get close, and since they're already stronger than you, trying to poison them would be extremely difficult.

But it's not that it can't be tried.

It's just that Tianhe, upon hearing Yue Linxian's words, couldn't help but his old face turned red, and he weakly said a sentence.

「Palace Master, these are all things from when we were young; why do you still bring him up? 」

「What young or old, you think I don't know? You are born with a charm bone; back then, if it weren't for seeing your whole body of Charm Technique, you think I could have let you join the Heavenly Palace? 」

「But I'm old now; what's the point of still using charm? 」

Tianhe felt embarrassed all over, quite awkward; he's an old man, what's the point of still playing with Charm Technique?

He hasn't used this thing for several hundred years.

But regarding this, Yue Linxian didn't care at all; instead, he scolded in a manner of 'hating iron for not becoming steel'.

You're just stubborn—what does it matter if you're old? Maybe they actually like your type. As they say, different strokes for different folks. Besides, if you don't first use your charms, how will Zhao Tianqing get a chance to poison?

"You're just stubborn; being old doesn't matter—maybe they like your type? Different strokes for different folks; besides, if you don't first use your Charm Technique, how will Zhao Tianqing get a chance to poison him?" Natural: "You're just stubborn; being old doesn't matter—maybe they like your type? Different strokes for different folks; besides, if you don't first use your Charm Technique, how will Zhao Tianqing get a chance to poison him?"

Huh???

Just "Huh???" Keep as "Huh???"

Hearing Yue Linxian's piercing words, Tianhe fell silent, staring at Yue Linxian blankly, and questioned suspiciously.

"Seeing Yue Linxian speak with conviction, Tianhe fell silent, looking at Yue Linxian dully, and said doubtfully." Natural: "Seeing Yue Linxian speak convincingly, Tianhe fell silent, staring at him dully, and asked doubtfully."

No, Palace Master, you're really doing this?

"Not really, Palace Master, you're serious?" Natural: "No, Palace Master, you're serious?"

You damn it, after saying all that, you think I'm joking? Cut the crap—there's an old woman, go charm her and give Zhao Tianqing a chance to poison.

"You damn, after saying all that, you think I'm joking? Cut the crap—there's an old woman, go seduce her to give Zhao Tianqing a chance to poison him." Natural: "You damn, after saying all that, you think I'm joking? Cut the crap—there's an old woman; go seduce her to give Zhao Tianqing a chance to poison him."
