Stellar Transformation-Chapter 195: Episode 10: Rage Against the Sky, - 1: Gathering of All Immortals and Demons
The appearance of the two black-robed figures, the death of the Three-eyed Demon, the Snow Woman’s death, the Red Bird’s death, and Yan Mo being seriously injured.
Hearing that address from Jiao Jiu, Qin Yu’s expression changed.
"This Jiao Jiu is the Great Elder of the Flame Demon Sect stationed in the Purple Flame Demon Prison, and his status within the Purple Flame Demon Prison is already quite high. However, these two black-robed figures turn out to be Jiao Jiu’s master and great-master uncle... It seems that within the Purple Flame Demon Prison there are no such high-ranked experts, obviously, these two are..."
"People from the Tenglong Continent!"
Qin Yu’s heart shook.
What Qin Yu feared most was that the Cultivator Sects and Demon Cultivator Sects would invite the super-powerful experts from the Tenglong Continent. If it were just people from Penglai Immortal Domain or the Purple Flame Demon Prison, Qin Yu still had confidence in handling them.
But if those inscrutable experts from the Tenglong Continent were to come, then the situation would become much more complicated.
The two black-robed figures who appeared easily killed the Three-eyed Old Demon, and the Snow Woman and Red Bird were also killed without the slightest resistance; even the Azure Dragon and Yan Mo were seriously injured. Their strength was already shockingly evident.
However, Situ Xue suddenly bowed respectfully and said, "Could the two seniors be the Independent Demons, Huo Can and Huo Lan? My great-master also mentioned the two seniors in front of me."
Huo Lan, Huo Can.
The two great experts of the Flame Demon Sect, both were Third Tribulation Independent Demons. These Third Tribulation Independent Demons were equivalent to experts at the Great Success Stage, and even within the Tenglong Continent, they were considered top-notch experts. After all, most who surpassed the Fourth Tribulation had entered the Chaotic Star Sea, with only a few who had surpassed the Fourth Tribulation remaining on the Tenglong Continent.
The people from Yin Yue Palace?
Huo Lan’s heart stirred as he saw Situ Xue and recognized her Cultivation Method.
"This junior actually recognizes me and my younger brother, it seems there is something special about her." Huo Lan looked at Situ Xue, his gaze becoming friendlier.
"Oh, judging by the Cultivation Method you practice, you should be from the Yin Yue Palace, right? Who is your master? Tell us. Let’s see if my brother and I know her," Huo Lan said, a smile on his face, but his entire demeanor was rather sinister.
The people from the Flame Demon Sect are often extremely violent, and the Huo siblings, dressed in black robes with a cold appearance, were also considered anomalies within the Flame Demon Sect. They were the type who appeared cold on the outside but were violent and bloodthirsty on the inside.
Situ Xue respectfully said, "My great-master is indeed the Lady Yan Ji from the Tenglong Continent."
"Yan Ji."
Huo Lan and Huo Can’s expressions changed drastically.
Could it be her?
If Lady Yan Ji were to come, they would have some trouble.
There weren’t many on the Tenglong Continent who could instill fear in their hearts, but Lady Yan Ji was one of them. Lady Yan Ji had a huge reputation on the Tenglong Continent, known as the ’Thousand-Changing Witch,’ who liked to take on various forms.
Lady Yan Ji, naturally exotic and beautiful, was extremely seductive by nature, and among the Demon Cultivators, she had many who were utterly devoted to her.
"So it is Lady Yan Ji from Yin Yue Palace, haha... young girl, whether your master has come this time or not, we brothers have not seen Lady Yan Ji for a long time, indeed we have missed her dearly," Huo Lan said with a beaming smile.
Situ Xue vaguely replied, "I do not know about this matter as a junior, but... my master said that she was very interested in this Immortal Mansion; whether she has come or not, I really don’t know. Maybe she will come, maybe not."
Huo Lan and Huo Can frowned.
What was this all about?
But after a moment, Huo Lan laughed, "You little girl, to think you’re also fooling us with such bluffs. If they had truly come, you wouldn’t be hiding it like this. You would’ve already called out your great grandmaster. Second brother, let’s not waste time. We should open the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion sooner rather than later."
Azure Dragon had taken a Spirit Pill by now and his injuries had mostly healed. Standing behind him were those three men in yellow clothes.
"It turns out to be the seniors Huo Lan and Huo Can. My grandfather, Yan Xutian, even discussed both seniors with this junior a few days ago." Azure Dragon said with a light smile, seemingly unconcerned about Huo Lan and Huo Can’s recent sneak attack.
Qin Yu and Li’er were standing beside Azure Dragon, while Yan Mo had also stood up, with traces of blood still at the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the attack just now had been quite heavy.
Huo Lan and Huo Can bore an extremely similar appearance, only Huo Lan’s eyes were slightly larger with more smiles on his face, while Huo Can’s eyes were smaller with a colder expression.
"Yan Xutian... So you are from the Yan family of the Dragon Clan," Huo Can said, nodding with a cold face.
However, Huo Lan said, "Youngster of the Dragon Clan, do not think you are strong enough to withstand my strike."
Azure Dragon immediately responded with a smile, "This junior is well aware of his place. The senior is a Third Tribulation Independent Demon, with power comparable to that of a Great Success Stage expert. Defeating the likes of us would be as easy as lifting a hand. That this junior could luckily save his little life is naturally because the senior showed mercy. "
"Consider yourself sensible, lad." Both Huo Lan and Huo Can had a trace of satisfaction on their faces.
"Hey, you Black Dragon, what is that look in your eyes?" Huo Can’s face chilled as he said sternly.
Yan Mo wiped the corner of his mouth with one hand, cleaning the bloodstain while coldly staring at Huo Can.
Rage filled Yan Mo’s heart.
With two of his lieutenants, the Snow Woman and Red Bird, already killed, how could Yan Mo be reconciled?
"If it weren’t for the fact that you are from the Dragon Clan, I would have killed you with a heavier hand just now. Kid, it’s not that I’m showing you mercy, but rather your Dragon Clan’s seniors. Don’t you get cocky in front of me, otherwise..." Huo Can stared coldly at Yan Mo, clearly ready to kill him on the spot if he resisted.
Azure Dragon immediately interjected with a smile, "Seniors, Yan Mo is a brother from our Yan clan and belongs to the same generation as me. He tends to be more defiant by nature, and I hope the two seniors won’t take offense at this junior’s attitude."
Huo Lan pulled Huo Can back, saying, "Second brother, let’s not bother with a junior. Don’t you think it’s beneath our dignity to stoop to arguing with a junior?"
Huo Can withdrew his cold gaze from Yan Mo and said indifferently, "Big brother is right. Indeed, it’s below our status to argue with a junior."

Qin Yu and Li’er were like outsiders, merely standing by from beginning to end, watching them talk. Meanwhile, they were also sorting out the situation at hand in their minds. According to Qin Yu’s judgment, if the seniors of the Demon Cultivators had arrived, then it was very likely that the people from the Cultivators had also come.
"It’s Qin Yu, right?" Huo Lan looked at Qin Yu and smiled.
Qin Yu nodded, "Qin Yu pays respect to the seniors."
Huo Lan nodded in approval, "I’ve also heard from Jiao Jiu that there’s an Independent Immortal with very high cultivation in the Star Pavilion. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to meet, but... judging from that lady’s Protective Dharma Treasure just now, it must be at least an Immortal Artifact. Otherwise, how could a woman who has not even reached the Nascent Soul Stage withstand my strike."
Huo Can, too, felt admiration, "That Independent Immortal from the Star Pavilion indeed possesses great prowess. We brothers are not their match."
That a young woman not yet at the Nascent Soul Stage could withstand the attack of a Third Tribulation Independent Demon with such a powerful magical treasure, and a defensive one at that, is astounding. Possessing or, rather, being able to refine such a treasure meant the master craftsman was undeniably beyond their capacity to contend with.
Azure Dragon also complimented, "Qin Yu’s Uncle Lan had known about the existence of the nine Jade Swords all along. If he wanted to take the treasures of the Immortal Mansion, I reckon none of us would get anything. Uncle Lan’s strength has already surpassed caring for this Immortal Mansion."
"Such a master, who looks on the Immortal Mansion as nothing, possesses such breadth of vision, indeed, commands our utmost admiration. My brother and I would also like to meet such a grandmaster in person," Huo Lan praised without any reservation.
"Big Brother, let’s not waste our time, and hurry up and open the Immortal Mansion," Huo Can proposed.
"You’re right."
Huo Lan nodded and then, with a wave of his hand, the Space Ring that the Three-eyed Demon had left behind flew straight toward the palm of his hand.
"Leave the ring!"
A loud shout boomed out as a streak of blue light shot directly at the Space Ring.
Huo Lan’s expression changed; a fierce light flashed in his eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, a black ribbon flew out, wrapping around the ring. At the same time, the blue light struck the ribbon. Despite its seeming frailty, the ribbon’s toughness was incredible—it effortlessly deflected the blue light’s attack power.
That was indeed a green Flying Sword.
"Low Grade Immortal Device... Immortal Essence Power, it seems an Independent Immortal has arrived." The ribbon flew back to the palm of Huo Lan, who glanced at the flying sword with indifference and commented.
As soon as one reaches the Fourth Tribulation Independent Immortal, they become like a Heavenly Immortal, possessing pure Immortal Essence Power, allowing them to refine Immortal Instruments. However, refining such instruments requires not just the power of a Heavenly Immortal, but also the refining technique and all sorts of precious materials.
"Huo Lan, Huo Can, you brothers are rather audacious, aren’t you? Even if the younger generation isn’t very powerful, you shouldn’t be so indiscriminately murderous. Demon Cultivators are indeed Demon Cultivators; the demonic nature never changes!" With a cold shout, a red-faced old man with green whiskers appeared.
This red-faced elder had his eyebrows slanted downwards, clearly a hot-tempered individual.
"Oh, it turns out to be the red-faced Independent Immortal, True Master Yue Yan," Huo Lan said with a laugh. "Right, it seems that this time, only Yan Xu, a junior from Penglai Immortal Domain, came, while your Purple Sun Sect didn’t. Seems like it was because you got too few Jade Swords... tsk tsk, Yue Yan, your disciples are truly incompetent compared to my Purple Flame Demon Prison that acquired two Jade Swords."
"Shut your mouth," True Master Yue Yan bellowed fiercely.
Huo Lan and Huo Can exchanged a smile, clearly unconcerned.
True Master Yue Yan, in terms of power, was also a Third Tribulation Independent Immortal. He was on an equal footing with them, but... they were two brothers, whereas True Master Yue Yan was alone. What did they have to fear?
"True Master Yue Yan, you old fellow, have you not recognized the situation? You dare to shout in front of us brothers?" Huo Lan taunted.
True Master Yue Yan’s eyes flashed with fire, ready to fight.
"True Master Yue Yan, would you really stoop to quarreling with two Demon Cultivators? Don’t you find it beneath you?" A soft voice sounded, and a beautiful woman clad in green floated into view, her stunning beauty accompanied by a detached air.
Huo Lan and Huo Can both frowned.
"So it’s True Master Shui Rou from Lanyang Sect," Huo Lan said with a cold laugh. "It seems the Cultivator Sects have sent quite a few. Stop hiding, everyone, come out. My brother and I will take you all on."
As far as Huo Lan and Huo Can knew, they were the only high-level Demon Cultivators who had come; the others had not.
"Since our friend Huo Lan extends an invitation, let us join you then."
The clear voice sounded from afar, and both Huo Lan and Huo Can’s faces changed. They had only been boasting in anger, who would have thought that there were still experts who had yet to reveal themselves.
Qin Yu and Li’er exchanged smiles.
"Li’er, it seems this opening of the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion is becoming more and more interesting. One expert after another, these people are really keeping themselves well hidden, waiting until the last moment to make their appearance to open the mansion," Qin Yu said, smiling as he observed the Cultivators and Independent Demons before them.
Li’er, however, wore a slight smile, "Immortal treasures are bestowed upon those with destiny, it’s not something that those with strength alone can obtain."
"Oh? Can the weak obtain it, and even if they did, the strong could simply take it away," Qin Yu was curious.
Li’er replied with a mysterious smile, "Big Brother Qin Yu, just be patient, you will find out soon enough."
Seeing that Li’er was not inclined to explain, Qin Yu did not press further, and in the meantime, the person who had spoken earlier made their appearance.
Three green-bearded old men wearing wide green robes flew leisurely from a distance, all sporting kindly smiles, appearing benevolent and benevolent — the very image of enlightened masters. By appearances alone, these three did not seem amiss.
"Junior Yan Xu pays respect to the three honored master-uncles," True Master Yan Xu greeted respectfully.
Qin Yu chuckled to himself, "Ah, the experts from Qingxu Temple have finally arrived, and there are three of them at once."
"Yan Xu, you step aside," the leading old man said with a smile, waving his sleeve, and True Master Yan Xu immediately stood respectfully to one side.
True Masters Yue Yan and Shui Rou immediately clasped their hands in greeting, with True Master Shui Rou smiling, "It turns out to be Daoist Qian Xu and Daoist friends Qian Ming and Qian Shan."
At that moment, the situation took a swift turn.
With the arrival of these three masters from Qingxu Temple, the Cultivators’ side suddenly gained strength. Meanwhile, the Demon Cultivators’ faction seemed somewhat diminished.
"So it’s Elder Qian Xu, and the two lads, Qian Ming and Qian Shan," Huo Lan said with a light smile. He was aware of Elder Qian Xu, a Third Tribulation Independent Immortal. His two junior brothers were Second Tribulation Independent Immortals. Together, the three were akin to having two Third Tribulation Independent Immortals allied.
The Qingxu Daoist smiled and said, "Yan Xu, bring forth the Jade Sword. My friends... let’s open the Immortal Mansion."
True Master Yan Xu immediately brought out a Jade Sword.
Huo Lan flipped his hand and a Jade Sword appeared as well, "We should not waste time, Elder Qian Xu, I will give you this face this time."
"Opening it sooner is better. Our Dragon Clan will also contribute this Jade Sword," the Azure Dragon said with a smile, and two Jade Swords appeared in his hand at a flick of his wrist.
Suddenly—
"Opening the Immortal Mansion? Everyone should hold off a bit. There’s no harm in opening it after settling things, otherwise... the Immortal Mansion may never be opened," said the calm voice, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound—
Yida, who had been silent all along, now fixed his eerie eyes on the Independent Immortals and Independent Demons, the corners of his lips showing a faintly composed smile.
