Teleported into the Heavenly Prison? Kept in the Dark While Others Knew Everything!

Seeing that the situation had turned dire, the Infernal Lion Race's patriarch shouted for the ancestors of the Three Great Immortal Forces who had come here to retreat with him.

They still had a fallback plan. Their informant inside the Ye Family had already prepared a Teleportation Array for them.

Even if their plan failed and blood was spilled, the few of them could still escape unscathed.

In Yue Liuli's arms, Ye Tian grew anxious. This was the perfect opportunity to wipe them all out in one stroke.

Why had no one made a move yet? Even his mother remained utterly calm. Were they really going to let them leave?

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch looked miserable, yet a smile of relief crept onto his face.

Although the plan had failed and the assassination had ended without success, escaping unscathed was already an unexpected stroke of fortune.

Using the Divine Movement Art, they reached a Teleportation Array deep in a forest.

The Teleportation Array seemed to have been waiting specifically for them. Dazzling white light pierced straight into the heavens.

"Hahaha! Eternal Ye Family, we shall meet again!"

"We escaped today! Another day, we will come sweeping back!"

The five ancestors were also bedraggled and furious.

Five ancestor-level figures in the God Sovereign Realm had failed to withstand even a single palm strike from Yue Liuli.

If word of this spread, wouldn't the world laugh its teeth out?!

Still, being able to leave today was a blessing beyond measure. They dared ask for nothing more.

With wild laughter, the Infernal Lion Race's patriarch stepped into the Teleportation Array, ready to return to his own Lineage's territory.

A flash of white light swept past. Heaven and earth spun, the sun and moon flew backward, and the world turned upside down.

As space shifted around him, the Infernal Lion Race's patriarch opened his eyes, seemingly ready to breathe that long-missed air.

Yet... the clear waters, blue skies, and swirling Immortal Mist he had imagined never appeared.

His surroundings... brimmed with an endless aura of deathly stillness, as though this place had been built to imprison countless demons.

The stench of rotting corpses permeated the air, accompanied by the sounds of forging in blazing fire.

Occasionally, roars from gods and devils echoed from deeper within, as though venting their defiance.

"No, no, no! Where is this?!"

He had spent his life on battlefields, yet he had never felt such terror. This place was simply too eerie.

He also spotted the five ancestors who had followed him. They were in prison cells not far away.

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch was shrewd indeed. From his surroundings, he immediately deduced the truth.

This place... was most likely the Eternal Ye Family's Heavenly Prison!

What the hell was going on?!!!

Ye Jiancai had clearly promised that the Teleportation Array would send them back to their own forces once their scheme was exposed. Why had it sent them into the Ye Family's Heavenly Prison instead? Wasn't this walking straight into the net and seeking their own deaths?!

Could it be... that old dog had deceived him?!

Before he could react, however, the jade hanging at his waist lit up.

This was the Voice Transmission Stone he used specifically to contact his Lineage. He had expressly instructed them not to use it unless they faced an urgent, life-or-death crisis.

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch gently raised it to his ear and heard a wailing voice.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! The Ye Family's God Emperor is coming to destroy our Three Great Immortal Forces! He means to tear us out by the roots and erase our names from the Eternal Immortal Domain!"

"Ah!!"

Hearing this, he roared anxiously, "What? How could God Emperor Ye Junlin have appeared?!"

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch clenched his teeth, his eyes blurred with tears, and threw back his head with a roar.

He seethed with hatred!

Who knew how much he had sacrificed for this scheme, only for it all to go up in flames.

And... his Lineage had been destroyed because of it.

As for the Eternal Ye Family, they had suffered virtually no casualties!

He was a sinner against the entire Infernal Lion Race!

The other ancestors also received messages from their own Lineages.

At first, they were furious and utterly frenzied, trying to use everything they had learned throughout their lives to break open the Heavenly Prison's gates.

Yet... even their cultivation had vanished, as though shackled by some mysterious power.

After a while, their faces turned ashen. Like dogs with broken spines, they lay in the Heavenly Prison, seemingly resigned to their fate.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How pitiful!"

"If you knew it would end like this, why did you do it in the first place?"

A pleasant voice rang out like silver bells, yet to their ears, it was more piercing than a blade and filled them with dread.

Clad in red robes, Yue Liuli looked like an aloof empress as she regarded them with contempt.

In her arms, Ye Tian hugged his milk bottle and babbled, his large, watery eyes blinking curiously.

"Hahaha! I understand now! All of this was your Eternal Ye Family's scheme!"

"God Emperor Ye Junlin never appeared at the one-month celebration because he went alone to sweep through our Lineages' territories and erase us from the Eternal Immortal Domain!"

"As for us, even though we joined forces with the Forbidden Zone and came out in full strength, we were still nothing but slightly bigger ants before the Eternal Ye Family. It took hardly any time to settle accounts with us."

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch finally understood, but it was too late. The realization only added to his grief.

The other five ancestors closed their eyes as well. Never had they felt such despair.

Their Lineages' legacies... had been severed completely.

They had never expected the few God Sovereign ancestors guarding their Lineages to withstand God Emperor Ye Junlin. That was simply impossible.

Yue Liuli nodded slightly, confirming their words.

They were right, and... Ye Junlin was already on his way back.

Destroying a mere three Immortal Forces was no more than a wave of the hand for Ye Junlin.

"I hate it! I hate that I trusted that old dog Ye Jiancai!"

"Now look where I've ended up! I was actually naive enough to believe he could work with me."

The Infernal Lion Race's patriarch shed tears of regret. In his heart, he had already sliced Ye Jiancai into a thousand pieces.

What he did not know, however... was that Ye Jiancai was nothing more than a pawn himself.

Ye Jiancai had believed he could hoodwink the heavens and cross the sea, working with the Three Great Immortal Forces and the Blood Sea Forbidden Zone to eliminate the God Emperor's son and make Ye Junlin taste the agony of losing a child.

He had never imagined that his every move was under Ye Junlin and Yue Liuli's control.

Yue Liuli had seen everything, from the earlier Teleportation Array to the subsequent deactivation of the Protective Clan Formation.

Yue Liuli's gaze turned cold. She reached into the void, and Ye Jiancai, the once-glorious master of the Ye Family Myriad Treasures Pavilion, was caught by the throat of fate, utterly powerless to resist.

Unwilling even to dirty her hands with him, Yue Liuli hurled him away.

The impact knocked Ye Jiancai's back teeth out.

Watching this unfold from Yue Liuli's arms, Ye Tian found it unbelievable.

He had only just deduced that someone among the Eternal Ye Family's core members wanted his little life.

Yet... his father and mother had known everything all along, letting the man prance around right under their noses.

"Bad news, System. Looks like I still don't need you."

Relieved, Ye Tian cracked a joke with the system.

"Ah, my drive to improve finally caught fire, only for this invincible backing to douse it again."

System: ...

Jokes were jokes.

If he had not happened to uncover the conspiracy between the Blood Sea Remnants, the three patriarchs, and Ye Jiancai, warned his parents, and allowed preparations to be made in advance...

Then, faced with such a sudden turn of events, even if he himself would not have been in danger...

These people might actually have escaped.

If that had happened, the Ye Family would have suffered a tremendous loss of face.

After hearing Ye Tian's words, the system was initially thrilled.

It seemed... its host still needed it after all. He had even intended to use it.

But it had still played no part this time. The system's resolve grew firmer: Next time, I'll make sure my host uses me!
