The Liu Family Master, ’Liu Yunlu,’ was extremely fearful at this moment, especially as he sensed the terrifying sword qi energy emanating from the battle raging in the sky, which only intensified his fear. Both the powers of the Yujian Sect and Qin Yu’s sides were terrifyingly strong.

"Nearly three hundred Golden Immortals, the weakest of them an Eighth Level Golden Immortal, what a formidable force!" The Liu Family Master’s heart trembled.

It was Wu Bo, the Eighth Level Golden Immortal, who had secretly contacted the Liu Family Master and the Liu Family Great Elder, revealing that the lowest level of experts who had come this time were Eighth Level Golden Immortals, and as for the number of people, the Liu Family Master was informed.

The reason was that the Planet Transmission Array was currently under the control of the Liu Family; therefore, they were fully aware of how many had arrived.

"Qin Yu’s background is too substantial, isn’t it? To be fighting on equal terms with the Yujian Sect side?" The Liu Family Master, recalling the Great Elder’s death, felt his legs grow weak, "If the Yujian Sect wins, they might blame the Liu Family for Qin Yu being our retainer. If Qin Yu wins, since he was able to kill the Great Elder, it’s possible he might annihilate our Liu Family as well."

Whoever won, it would not be good for the Liu Family.

All the Liu Family Master could see was darkness ahead.

The sound of explosions gradually faded away, and the Liu Family Master felt the blood-red night begin to regain its calm, so quiet that he could no longer hear even a whisper. This made the Liu Family Master feel even more uneasy.

Sitting in the study, the Liu Family Master’s thoughts raced chaotically.

Suddenly—

A series of breaking space sounds erupted outside the study, and the Liu Family Master’s complexion changed.

"Liu Yunlu, come out." A furious shout came from outside the study.

"What is to come has come after all." Liu Yunlu sighed inwardly, then squeezing out a smile, he straightened his back, pulled open the door, and walked out—outside was a group of people from Yu Qingzi’s faction, seething with anger.

Yu Qingzi, Immortal Emperor Qian Qi at the forefront, followed by seventy or eighty surviving Golden Immortals. When they arrived, the number of Eighth Level and Ninth Level Golden Immortals totaled over two hundred and seventy, but now nearly two hundred had died, including an Immortal Emperor.

"Liu Yunlu, this is the Sect Master of the Yujian Sect, this is the senior Immortal Emperor Qian Qi." A Ninth-level Golden Immortal shouted.

Liu Yunlu immediately bowed and said, "Liu Yunlu pays his respects to the two seniors."

At this point, Liu Yunlu seemed utterly composed; when a person’s fear and dread reach their limit, they become like Liu Yunlu, no longer afraid of anything. Because he was prepared for the worst outcome.

"You are the Liu Family Master?" Yu Qingzi’s gaze was icy.

"Yes." Liu Yunlu bowed his head.

Yu Qingzi slowly said, "This time, the action to capture and kill Qin Yu’s Sect elder was ordered by Emperor Yu himself. However, we let that guy get away this time, and as for this Qin Yu you mentioned, we have searched the entire Fengyue Star without any sign. What exactly is going on?"

"I know the Planet Transmission Array is currently under your Liu Family’s control. If he left, your Liu Family should know, right?" Yu Qingzi questioned.

Upon reflection, Liu Yunlu said, "Qin Yu’s cultivation has reached the standard of a Golden Immortal. He probably got the information beforehand and directly used ’Great Teleportation’ to reach another planet. This is also not impossible."

Anger flickered across Yu Qingzi’s face, and similarly, a trace of displeasure could be seen on Immortal Emperor Qian Qi.

They had suffered a great loss in this endeavor.

Yu Qingzi was furious enough to launch a massacre, and if not for suppressing the rage in his heart, he would have gone mad from anger as Yujian Sect’s Elite Disciples suffered eight-tenths losses, and only two of the Second Generation Disciples remained.

The number of experts in the entire Silver String Star System was now far from sufficient, and as a result, Yu Qingzi’s position in Emperor Yu’s ranks might also decline.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi, too, had failed his mission. Although the Star Domain he controlled was not in the Blue Bay Star Domain, he would not be pleased with failing such an important task assigned by Emperor Yu.

"Tell me everything you know about Qin Yu, especially any idea where he might have gone?" Immortal Emperor Qian Qi spoke up.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi, Yu Qingzi, and others treated the people they had just fought with and Qin Yu separately. They believed that without any clues to find Qin Yu’s Sect elder, their next step was to locate Qin Yu first.

"Where could Qin Yu possibly be?" Liu Yunlu pondered.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi and Yu Qingzi watched Liu Yunlu intently.

"Ah, there is a possibility," Liu Yunlu suddenly brightened up and hastily said, "Two seniors, when Qin Yu first arrived at Fengyue Star, he asked us for a map to the Demon World, and after speaking with Qin Yu a few times, he always seemed to want to go to the Demon World."

Both Immortal Emperor Qian Qi and Yu Qingzi felt a surge of joy in their hearts.

"The Demon World?" The two Immortal Emperors looked at each other.

"Tell me, what other ways are there to find Qin Yu?" Immortal Emperor Qian Qi asked again, intending to extract everything Liu Yunlu knew.

Liu Yunlu thought for a long time, but still shook his head in ignorance.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Yu Qingzi’s eyes, and he asked, "In your entire Liu Family, besides you and your Great Elder, who else was close to Qin Yu?"

"No more, the rest are dead," Liu Yunlu said, clearly thinking of Liu Hanshu.

But when Liu Yunlu discovered the Great Elder’s death, he also saw in the Liu Family’s Soul Jade Scroll vault that Liu Hanshu’s Soul Jade Scroll had shattered.

Yu Qingzi, Immortal Emperor Qian Qi, and their entourage stayed on Fengyue Star for half a day, carefully searching for any traces, but in the end, they could only leave in frustration with a ’tiger’s head and snake’s tail’—returning to Red Leaf Star.

Vaguely, amid the permeating mist, nearly transparent white gauze curtains fluttered.

Inside the gauze curtain.

A middle-aged man in a purple robe sat cross-legged, a cup of tea on the small table in front of him, but his opposite was now devoid of the blue-clothed Sword Immortal.

"A defense extremely strong? Could it be a Divine Artifact Combat Clothes?"

With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Emperor Yu mused, "It seems likely to really be Ni Yang’s ’Black Frost’ Divine Artifact Combat Clothes. That person was able to kill Xia Hua; it seems their strength is also around a Ninth-level Golden Immortal or a First Level Immortal Emperor."

"There are many Eighth Level, Ninth Level Demon Kings?"

Emperor Yu smiled as he read the message coming from the Communication Spirit Pearl, "Originally, the news from Hua Yan stated that the Ten Thousand Beasts List had been obtained by Qin Yu’s Master Uncle ’Lan Feng.’ Seems like the person who slew widely was Lan Feng. Just releasing Demon Kings? Lan Feng’s strength should be that of a Ninth Level Golden Immortal."

From these pieces of information, Emperor Yu had already deduced some messages.

It was clear that Emperor Yu was already aware of the existence of divine artifacts like the "Ten Thousand Beasts List" and "Black Frost", so it was natural for him to deduce the existence of other artifacts, such as the "Sky-breaking" Divine Sword exclusive to Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, and the number one treasure of the Immortal, Demon, and Monster worlds—the "Mysterious God Scroll".

Even with this knowledge, there was barely any change in Emperor Yu’s expression, just a slight lift of his eyebrows.

"Heading to the Demon World?"

Seeing the message from Yu Qingzi, Emperor Yu was slightly startled, but he quickly understood, "Hua Yan once mentioned that Qin Yu has two brothers, one of which is even a Fire-Eyed Water Ape. It seems his two brothers have ascended to the Demon World, and he wants to go find them."

Emperor Yu’s guesses were very close to the mark.

Afterward, Emperor Yu calmly issued several orders.

Raising his teacup for a slight sip, Emperor Yu’s gaze turned towards the southwest: "From the Blue Bay Star Domain to the Demon World, the shortest path seems to be a direct traversal from the Immortal Realm, moving westwards. And the Immortal Realm... is also where my power is strongest."

"Lan Feng, Qin Yu, with all the obstacles I’ve laid, can you uncle and nephew pass through?" Emperor Yu’s smile blossomed.

"Ha..." With a light exhale, Emperor Yu muttered to himself, "Mysterious God Scroll, Mysterious God Scroll, even I can’t help but be moved by your existence. Now I’m already an Eighth Level Profound Immortal, maybe I could reach the Ninth Level Profound Immortal any time now, but the power of the Divine Tribulation is truly too great. To cross the tribulation alone, the chances of success are too low."

"Mysterious God Scroll, once the news of your return to the Immortal, Demon, and Monster worlds is spread, those old friends of mine will presumably leave their old nests." Emperor Yu drained his teacup in one gulp and suddenly stood up.

"Last time it was Ni Yang who got the Mysterious God Scroll, but he was just unlucky enough to be poisoned by the venom of a creature from the Divine World, and even a poison insect from the Divine World is not to be underestimated. But this time, I am the first to learn of the Mysterious God Scroll, this time it should be my turn to possess the Scroll."

Emperor Yu’s smile grew even more dazzling, his eyes seeming to pierce through the mist, through space, and seeing... Qin Yu.

The various transmission arrays leading from the Blue Bay Star Domain to the Demon World were under strict scrutiny, especially for those coming from the Demon World, even Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi scrutinized every suspect closely.

After all, Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi had seen Qin Yu, as well as Kong Lan, Tu Gang, and Dan Meng.

Emperor Yu’s influence was strong.

He actually controlled over twenty star systems, but of course... he could not control an entire star domain. The star systems controlled by the three major powers of the entire Immortal Realm were quite scattered, with no one being able to control an entire star domain on their own.

Emperor Yu controlled twenty star systems by himself and also had many friendly forces, even vassal forces, hence controlling an exceedingly large area.

Search!

Yet no matter how hard Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi tried, exhausting themselves in the process and scrutinizing every suspect, they found no trace of Qin Yu, Kong Lan, and the others. This result did surprise Emperor Yu, who was far away in his main base.

On a rather bustling planet, Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi were walking side by side.

"Brother Qian Qi, Emperor Yu just issued an order; finally, we can have a break," Yu Qingzi let out a long sigh of relief.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi also smiled helplessly, "His Majesty Emperor Yu is clearly very interested in the sect that Qin Yu belongs to, ordering us to capture these two with all our might, monitoring nearly every main road. Especially the roads leading to the Demon World, but... all to no avail."

"That Qin Yu and his sect’s elders are peculiar too, as if they’ve evaporated, nowhere to be found," Yu Qingzi said helplessly.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi smiled slightly, "Back on Fengyue Star, we didn’t find them when they fled, and it’s the same now, heh... quite interesting indeed."

"Even with such strict monitoring, we can’t find them; could it be that they don’t use the interstellar transmission arrays at all for interstellar travel, and instead, directly use... Great Teleportation?" Yu Qingzi suddenly said.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi was stunned.

Constantly using Great Teleportation for interstellar travel?

Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be so reckless, right? The distance covered by Great Teleportation is much greater than that of Instantaneous Movement, but to travel between stars, that would be too exhausting. It consumes not only energy but also wastes time.

Using interstellar transmission arrays is not only effortless but also faster and capable of covering greater distances.

"If Qin Yu and his sect elders really are progressing using Great Teleportation, then they could indeed avoid Emperor Yu’s forces," Immortal Emperor Qian Qi said with a smile, "But that would be quite ’mad’."

At the border between the Immortal Realm and the Demon World, the Blue Bay Star Domain comprises ten major star systems, with the largest one being the Blue Moon Star System. The Blue Moon Star System, shaped like a crescent, contains two immense planets, one of which is named Hidden Emperor Star.

Hidden Emperor Star, located in the northern region of the Blue Moon Star System, is clouded with experts. While Gold Immortals are relatively rare on other planets, they can be found everywhere on Hidden Emperor Star. After all, the ruler of this star is none other than the universally acknowledged number one expert of the Immortal Realm, the Hidden Emperor.

The two immense planets of the Blue Moon Star System include another called Blue Mars.

Blue Mars is the core planet of the ’Blue Bay Star Domain’, extremely prosperous. Even among the countless planets of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds, Blue Mars is considered one of the most supremely flourishing planets, inhabited by experts from the Immortal Realm, the Demon World, the Demon World, and even forces from certain mysterious areas, constituting a chaotic mix.

On Blue Mars, there is a relatively upscale restaurant, Haoyue Restaurant, which is an eighteen-story luxurious establishment. For Immortals and experts from the Demon World, constructing an eighteen-story restaurant is quite simple, to say nothing of buildings or palaces with over a hundred floors.

Inside the Haoyue Restaurant on the second floor, many guests are dining.

"Young Master, go back and rest. We’ve been at this meal for a long time now, and the food has gotten cold," a pretty, bright-eyed and white-toothed teenage maid gently tugged at the arm of her young master, saying. As a member of the Demon World, she had already reached the Sixth-level Demon King Realm, and her original form was that of a small white rabbit.

Her young master was a blue-clothed youth.

"Wan’er, don’t rush me. Let the young master finish this wine before we go back, alright?" The young man treated his maid very kindly.

The maid, Wan’er, pouted as she looked at her young master and could only nod her head.

The blue-clothed youth smiled slightly and then leisurely sipped his wine while his gaze looked out the window beside him at the bustling city below. The streets were filled with experts, and on Blue Mars, Gold Immortal experts could be seen everywhere.

This is the core planet of a star domain.

Although Haoyue Restaurant is not the most elite, the daily cost of lodging is one hundred Low Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

"Boss Qing Yan." The blue-clothed youth suddenly called out.

A portly middle-aged man heard the call and immediately turned his head to look over, "Ah, Young Master Xi Shuang, I didn’t expect to meet Young Master Xi here," he said while laughing heartily and walking over.
