The clouds surrounding Blue Fire Cloud Tower were teeming with people, with troops from the Immortal Realm, experts from the Demon World, and some from the Demon World... In short, it was a motley crew, while at the same time, incredibly noisy and chaotic.

A transaction?

These onlookers didn’t care about that. The transaction between Emperor Yu’s people and the Blood Demon Emperor’s people was only a momentary affair, who would be curious about that? The majority were waiting for... a great battle.

The clash and slaughter between Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors, those Emperor-level experts.

"Brother Qin, don’t be anxious." Seeing Qin Yu looking around, Luba spoke with a smile. "There’s nothing interesting happening at the moment, we’ll just wait patiently. As soon as an expert of the Immortal Emperor or Demon Emperor Level makes a move, the whole scene will erupt into chaos, and all the major experts will show up one after the other."

As he spoke, Luba actually sat down cross-legged on a cloud.

Although there were many people, there was infinite space in the air, and generally, people kept a distance of five or six meters from each other.

"Luba, I’ll sit down and wait as well." Qin Yu smiled and sat down cross-legged on a cloud, offering no excuse for his earlier observation of the surrounding Immortal and Demon Emperors.

Qin Yu and Luba sat down, and not far behind Qin Yu, a somewhat decadent-looking young man also sat cross-legged with a large-eyed girl.

"Brother Luo Yu, don’t get too hot-headed this time. There are quite a few experts in Blue Fire Cloud Tower." The large-eyed girl said, resting her hand on ’Brother Luo Yu’s’ shoulder.

This ’Brother Luo Yu’ was quite handsome, but there was always a hint of melancholy in his deep eyes, which made him appear somewhat decadent.

"Yan’er, you don’t need to worry, I know what I’m doing," ’Brother Luo Yu’ replied with a voice that was soft and gentle, but after he had finished speaking, the glance ’Brother Luo Yu’ gave toward Blue Fire Cloud Tower was tinged with a trace of icy coldness.

Yan’er blinked twice with her big eyes, sighed helplessly, and then her gaze accidentally caught Qin Yu standing off to the side. Her eyes brightened, and she flew over to him.

"Hi, hello there, I’m Jiang Yan." The girl fluttered her large eyes at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was a bit startled.

"Brother Qin, do you know Miss Jiang Yan?" Luba asked from the side.

"No, it’s my first time seeing her." Qin Yu answered and then turned to smile at Jiang Yan, "Miss Jiang Yan, hello. Have you... seen me before?"

Jiang Yan giggled and said, "Nope, haven’t seen you before. It’s my first time seeing you today. I thought you were quite pleasing to the eye, so I came over to talk to you. What’s wrong? Not welcoming?"

Qin Yu subconsciously liked this girl called Jiang Yan; he felt she was truly genuine and unpretentious.

Only he knew that both Jiang Yan and that ’Brother Luo Yu’ were experts at the Immortal Emperor Level, far stronger than himself.

"Why wouldn’t I welcome you? Miss Jiang Yan, that person..." Qin Yu pointed towards the disheartened young man.

"Ah." Jiang Yan turned her head and immediately exclaimed, then quickly blinked apologetically at Qin Yu, "I’m sorry, Brother Luo Yu has been drinking again. I need to accompany him. We’ll talk again later."

With that, Jiang Yan flew back to ’Brother Luo Yu’s’ side.

"Brother Luo Yu, haven’t I told you not to drink anymore? You drink all the time." Jiang Yan snatched the wine pot from ’Brother Luo Yu’s’ hands, but ’Brother Luo Yu’ just smiled indifferently and made no resistance.

’Brother Luo Yu’ glanced at Qin Yu, then looked back at Jiang Yan and rarely smiled, saying, "Yan’er, it’s rare to see you greeting someone. You usually don’t care about men at all, do you?"

Jun Luoyu felt a bit puzzled in his heart.

He knew his ’adoptive sister’ Jiang Yan’s disdain for men; not to mention ordinary Golden Immortals, even some Immortal Emperor-level experts he knew from before, Jiang Yan hardly cared about.

Of course, Jiang Yan had the capital to do so; although she was only a First Level Profound Immortal, her cultivation technique was extremely profound and mysterious, and she also had an extremely powerful master behind her.

Jiang Yan, who used to be indifferent to men, actually took the initiative to greet a man today, which couldn’t help but surprise Jun Luoyu.

"Indifferent to men? What do you mean by that? Haven’t I always been following you?" Jiang Yan muttered with her lips pouted.

Jun Luoyu gave a bitter smile.

Jiang Yan liked Jun Luoyu, even to the point of wanting him to become her husband, which Jun Luoyu knew. But... Jun Luoyu’s heart had long belonged to someone else, even if that someone was dead!

So, in the depths of his heart, Jun Luoyu only regarded Jiang Yan as his ’adoptive sister.’

However, Jiang Yan would never admit that she was Jun Luoyu’s ’adoptive sister.’

"Yan’er, my heart has long been dead, why do you bother..." Jun Luoyu said with a wry smile, knowing that Jiang Yan had a formidable master behind her and being a First Level Profound Immortal herself, she had many male pursuers.

Even those at the Immortal Emperor level would take partners.

"Why bother... bother about what? As long as I’m by your side, I’m happy," Jiang Yan said with a sweet smile, seemingly not caring at all about Jun Luoyu’s heartlessness.

Jun Luoyu let out a low sigh and, with a flip of his hand, a jug of wine poured into his mouth.

"You’re still drinking!" Jiang Yan snatched the jug from his hand right after he took a sip and glared fiercely at Jun Luoyu, who was taken aback for a moment but then smiled faintly and calmly sat cross-legged on the cloud.

Jiang Yan glanced at Qin Yu, wanting to fly over and talk to him, but upon furrowing her brow, she decided to stay by Jun Luoyu’s side. She had a good impression of Qin Yu, but she couldn’t rest easy leaving her ’Brother Luo Yu’.

Time passed, and almost all the spectating experts began to sit on the clouds to wait patiently.

For experts, waiting a few hours was nothing much and could be considered a form of mental tempering.

"Luba, when was the last time the Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors fought against each other?" Qin Yu asked Luba. He had noticed the conversation between Jun Luoyu and Jiang Yan earlier and could somewhat guess what was going on.

Luba glanced at the sky and nodded slightly: "The last time was at noon, and now it’s about noon as well. I guess... it won’t be long now."

Qin Yu looked up at the sun and chose not to say more.

But from the corner of his eye, he was discreetly observing several Emperor-level experts. As for how many Emperor-level experts were surrounding the entire Blue Fire Cloud Tower, even Qin Yu didn’t dare to probe too arrogantly.

Those experts were all waiting quietly, not in the least bit anxious.

After a moment—

"All guests on the first floor of the Blue Fire Cloud Tower, please leave." A thunderous voice echoed for thousands of miles. Almost instantly, the clamor from over a million spectators was completely silenced into a hush.

"Eh, isn’t the Blue Fire Cloud Tower three levels high? Last time only the second and third floors were restricted to outsiders, but this time even the first floor is not allowing outsiders?" Luba mumbled, familiar with the situation from previous times.

Qin Yu’s brows furrowed as he looked distantly at the middle-aged man standing in the highest place.

Especially after hearing Luba’s mumble, Qin Yu felt an unusual sensation in his heart, as if this transaction wasn’t like the ones before.

"Immortal Emperor Ai Xiao, is the first floor also not to accommodate anyone? On the second floor, there might be sudden attacks on you, but on the first floor, the second floor lies between. It shouldn’t be much of an issue, right?"

A deep voice came from the first floor of the Blue Fire Cloud Tower.

From that remark, it was clear that the middle-aged man standing aloft was Immortal Emperor Ai Xiao.

Immortal Emperor Ai Xiao indifferently said, "Violators are going against Emperor Yu and the Blood Demon Emperor. Don’t blame me for not warning you now if you end up dead." After saying that, Immortal Emperor Ai Xiao flew back to the third floor.

A wave of discussion arose.

The immortals from Blue Fire Cloud Tower and experts from the Demon World, one by one, stepped out to face the blatant threats. These experts were very wise in knowing when to advance or retreat.

"The trade is about to begin."

Jun Luoyu spoke softly, his melancholic eyes beginning to focus. The air of despondence about him gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of sharpness.

Centered around the Blue Fire Cloud Tower, the atmosphere tensed in the space of thousands of miles. Everyone fell silent.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool could feel that something big was about to happen.

"With so many powerful figures here, I’m in no rush."

Qin Yu glanced at several Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor level experts not far away, lightly licked his lips, and remained very calm.

×××

Whoosh!

A strange sound emerged, followed by... an absolute silence in the area spreading out from the center of Blue Fire Cloud Tower as if even the air had completely disappeared.

"Not good, Brother Qin, retreat quickly!"

Luba transmitted his message and, at the same time, pulled Qin Yu, dashing back with great speed. Qin Yu also quickly retreated following Luba.

And it wasn’t just Luba—all the experts on the field were rapidly distancing themselves from the Blue Fire Cloud Tower.

"Swoosh!"

A very thin beam of light descended from the sky, striking directly at the flame structure atop the Blue Fire Cloud Tower. Even Qin Yu, a hundred miles away from the Tower, could distinctly feel as if the air had been pierced by electricity.

"Boom!"

"Hiss~~~"

Countless lightnings spread out from the center of Blue Fire Cloud Tower. Electric snakes twisted and turned through the air with incredible speed, incinerating anyone of lower prowess, like Heavenly Immortals, into nothingness as soon as they neared them.

In the blink of an eye, over ten thousand onlooking individuals were affected and killed.

"Someone dares to disrupt His Majesty’s grand affair. The people responsible should come forward. How can such cowardly behavior be worthy of your status?"

Six figures stood atop Blue Fire Cloud Tower, four men and two women, with a middle-aged man among them the one who had just spoken.

These six belonged to either Emperor Yu’s or the Blood Demon Emperor’s side, all of them Immortal Emperor or Demon Emperor level experts. Emperor Yu’s three immortal emperors were: Zhou Yu, Ai Xiao, and Duomi. The three demon emperors from the Blood Demon Emperor’s side were: Pian Yi, He Ni, and Suo Wo.

Duomi and He Ni were women while the other four were men.

"Ha ha... What if I show myself?" A skinny, black-clothed elder suddenly appeared in the sky above.

"It’s you!" Zhou Yu Immortal Emperor, leading Emperor Yu’s side, frowned slightly, "Brother Wu Ya, as far as I know, you’ve been solely devoted to secluded cultivation, so why interfere with Emperor Yu’s and the Blood Demon Emperor’s deal now?"

Wu Ya Immortal Emperor, known as the Crow Immortal Emperor, was a rather eccentric figure. His cultivation level was not high, only at the level of a third-level immortal emperor, but his array formation restriction technique was extremely formidable.

Wu Ya Immortal Emperor, who did not belong to any faction, was surprisingly present, which startled Zhou Yu.

"I’m here because someone told me that there would be a divine artifact in your trade." A slight smile crossed the Wu Ya Immortal Emperor’s lean face.

"Divine artifact!"

Over a million onlookers in the distance all widened their eyes in shock.

A divine artifact?

Even amongst immortal emperors, only the elite could possibly lay their hands on a divine artifact, requiring not only strong power but also exceptional luck.

"A divine artifact." Zhou Yu Immortal Emperor said with a calm smile, "Indeed, there is a divine artifact in this trade. If you want to snatch it, then come on."

A secretive smile played on Wu Ya Immortal Emperor’s lips. "Perhaps I suddenly don’t want it anymore, farewell." Having said that, Wu Ya Immortal Emperor flew away rapidly, leaving countless onlookers dumbfounded.

Inside, Wu Ya Immortal Emperor was cursing angrily: "How powerful could the expert lurking in the shadows be, a sixth-level immortal emperor, or even a seventh-level one? My covert attack hidden within the restriction was so easily broken by him."

×××

"This crow can also be said to know the times. Let’s spare his life," Green Blood Sword Immortal Zhi Bai chuckled, looking at an extremely fine black nail in his hand.

This tiny black nail looked ordinary, but the lightning that had just struck down, utilizing this black nail in combination with the restriction, had been enough to break the restriction of the Blue Fire Cloud Tower.

The Blue Fire Cloud Tower, jointly established by Emperor Yu and the Blood Demon Emperor, would be a great loss of face for both if broken through. Therefore, Green Blood Sword Immortal Zhi Bai was compelled to take action, which revealed the fierce prowess of the expert hidden in the shadows to Wu Ya Immortal Emperor.

To an immortal emperor unaffiliated with any forces, whether to kill or not made little difference.

"Someone’s made a move," ’White-haired Blood Demon’ Xue Yileng suddenly spoke.

"Boom!"

Almost simultaneously with Xue Yileng’s voice, an explosion sounded.

...

"Ha ha... you won’t hand over the item, and you few think you can stop me?" Laughter followed the explosions, and a tall, thin figure completely engulfed in flames emerged.

The expressions of Zhou Yu Immortal Emperor and Pian Yi Demon Emperor and others changed.

"Fierce Claw Demon Emperor, a person under Black Demon Emperor, a fourth-level demon emperor expert," Pian Yi Demon Emperor informed those around him simultaneously.

A cold smile formed in Fierce Claw Demon Emperor’s heart: "The strongest on both sides barely count as third-level demon emperors; even if there is someone hidden in the shadows, what of it? How could you withstand this, with so many emperor-level experts joining forces this time?"

Fierce Claw Demon Emperor was quite confident.

Whoosh!

Fierce Claw Demon Emperor’s robe billowed as the surging flames spread like a floodgate opened to all directions, frightening countless onlookers into cursing and fleeing as fast as they could.

Fierce Claw Demon Emperor raised his hands and made a pressing motion.

Suddenly—

The space within dozens of miles around came to an abrupt standstill. Zhou Yu Immortal Emperor, Pian Yi Demon Emperor, and the others all felt as though the space around them had been immobilized, their own movement slowing considerably.

"If the expert in hiding won’t come out, I will force you out." Fierce Claw Demon Emperor’s hands suddenly formed a claw shape, and a red light seeped out from the surface of his skin, soon covering his fingertips...
