Chapter 2982: What Does This Old Man Want to Do?

This time Yue Linxian rushed back in a hurry, seeing that the enemy's blades were at their noses, Zhao Tianqing and the other showed no intention to fight back at all, which truly made him angry.

What damned Xiāntiān rénzú, they're about to raid your home—what's it got to do with him?

Back then he founded the Heavenly Palace, leading a group of Human Race powerhouses who had just come from the Immortal Realm to Beyond the Heavens, and despite everything they managed to plant their feet firmly in Beyond the Heavens, relying on what? Nothing but that gallant spirit of theirs.

Back then Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe were at his side, fighting their way through, having escaped death countless times without ever furrowing a brow.

Nowadays the Human Race's strength keeps growing, yet the courage of these two old men keeps shrinking instead.

Indeed, the saying holds true—do people just grow more afraid of death as they age?

After being scolded by Yue Linxian, Zhao Tianqing and the other seemed to recall their youthful days, unconsciously lowering their heads, their hearts filled with shame.

Yes, the Immortal Realm is the foundation of the Human Race; how could we possibly give it up? Even if we have to fight to the death, we must protect it.

This has nothing to do with how strong the opponent is; even if King Yama himself showed up, we'd still yank out two of his whiskers.

After a long silence, Tianhe finally lifted his head, his eyes firm as he spoke.

"Palace Master, rest assured, even if I exhaust all my abilities, I will surely charm that old woman."

Seeing this, Yue Linxian nodded with an expression that said 'even a child could be taught'.

"That's more like it—think of you, Tianhe, when you were young you were a generation of handsome men who charmed all beings; even now that you're old, you only grow more alluring, you know."

"Yes, Palace Master."

Hearing those words, Tianhe nodded heavily.

Don't think that Yue Linxian's constant absence from the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens means anything; all major and minor affairs of the Heavenly Palace are handled by Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe.

But now that Yue Linxian has returned, the two unconsciously feel as if they've found their mainstay.

Just like back then, when the Human Race had just arrived in Beyond the Heavens, facing everything completely unfamiliar, everyone was like a headless fly.

Without a goal, they still had to face constant attacks from hordes of unfamiliar Beyond-the-Heavens foreign races.

Back then the Human Race had nothing like today's Immortal City Beyond the Heavens; they could be said to have not even a place to settle.

Finally, Yue Linxian stepped forward, leading the first batch of Human Race who had come to Beyond the Heavens, and despite being besieged by hordes of Beyond-the-Heavens foreign races, he painstakingly established this Immortal City Beyond the Heavens, giving the Human Race a foothold.

Afterward it developed little by little; the situation those people faced back then was far more difficult than now.

Compared to before, what are two measly Xiāntiān rénzú? We'll just take care of them.

Having made up their minds, the three began to work out the details of the operation.

First, naturally it's Tianhe—we need to create an opportunity for him to act, then it'll be Zhao Tianqing's turn.

That woman looks arrogantly unapproachable, but under Yue Linxian's 'encouragement', Tianhe gradually regained his confidence.

With his charm technique, as a certain person, what woman hasn't he charmed in this lifetime?

Don't look at how Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian, Xu Jie and these youngsters are jumping about happily, presenting the image of the student surpassing the master.

But these old fogeys—who among them didn't have their own glorious youth back in the day?

Tianhe naturally had his share; in his youth he was the Immortal Realm's number one handsome man, a vision of 'jade tree facing the wind'.

Although he's old now, he's still like an old warhorse eager to run a thousand miles, his charm still captivating all beings.

Under Yue Linxian's word-by-word encouragement, Tianhe gradually gained a bewildering confidence.

The plan isn't complicated; the three quickly finished discussing it, after which Tianhe went first to the main hall, saying he had something to report and wanted to see the two Xiāntiān rénzú.

As Tianhe finished speaking loudly outside the hall, the hall doors swung open, and the two Xiāntiān rénzú did not refuse.

Stepping into the hall, there was nothing changed—only two silhouettes sat quietly, cross-legged inside.

That man and woman showed no change, yet as Tianhe approached, they also secretly activated their charm technique.

Tianhe's innate charm bone is not an ordinary charm bone; it is the sole recorded Disastrous Heaven Charm Bone to have ever appeared.

In fact, even that name was coined by him himself.

Since it has never appeared before, naturally no one knows what special constitution this is.

All we know is that, when he was young and had not yet trained any charm technique, every move he made already could bewitch hearts and minds.

Not to mention peers, even those old masters whose cultivation far surpasses Tianhe's find it hard to resist such allure.

Back then the elders in his family once said, the charm bone Tianhe possesses has a bewitching power at least ten times that of all known charm bones, and then some.

With such terrifying talent, after he began cultivating charm technique, Tianhe's progress was literally a thousand miles a day.

Furthermore, with the boost from charm technique, it doesn't matter what you are—whether you pant or bask in the sun.

Flowers, birds, fish, insects— a single glance and nothing can escape him.

But later, as he aged, Tianhe gradually reduced the number of times he employed charm technique.

Furthermore, the higher his cultivation, the more perfect his control over this charm bone becomes.

Thus, under normal circumstances, if Tianhe does not actively employ his charm technique, those around him feel nothing unusual at all.

But now, as Tianhe fully activates his charm technique, arousing his charm bone, his entire feeling is completely different from usual.

He's still the same person, a weathered old man, but just as Yue Linxian said, at this moment Tianhe gives off a feeling that is increasingly uncanny.

It gives off an air of an old monster, though it's hard to put into words exactly what that feeling is.

This change was noticed by the woman the moment Tianhe entered the hall.

It wasn't the first time she had seen him, but this time the woman's brows instantly knit tightly.

Her eyes were full of suspicion as she spoke.

"What the hell is this old thing up to?"

With the woman's eyesight, it's naturally not hard to see that this Tianhe before her has been employing charm technique since he entered the hall.

Although this isn't some profound charm technique, he must be in possession of some kind of charm bone—that is, a special constitution—so it greatly enhances the power of his charm technique.

But using such a petty trick on them—could it be that he's looking down on them?

They are Xiāntiān rénzú, after all—an innate race, and their cultivation far exceeds Tianhe's by quite a margin.

With such a huge gap in cultivation, you think you can charm just the two of them with this little trick—aren't you looking down on them?

What's more, he was still being respectful just yesterday, gritting his teeth and bearing it, and only a day has passed, yet this old coot dares to act so brazenly?

What could have provoked him? What incident occurred to cause such a drastic change?

As Tianhe drew nearer step by step, the woman silently thought to herself that something was off about him today—no matter how she looked at him, he seemed utterly abnormal.
