Although there were four unusual auras deep within the Death Continent, completely different from the foul air, Lan Hua did not have time to investigate further.
Because he was worried about Ziyue.
When Lan Hua arrived at the Heavenly Realm, four powerful auras rushed towards her, making her feel a chill.
That was issued by the four quasi-emperors.
One of the auras was both strong and gentle; Lan Hua could tell with her eyes closed that it belonged to Zi Yue.
The other aura was also familiar to Lan Hua; it came from Mao Youqiu, the master of Youqiu Tower.
"It seems the remaining two quasi-emperors are here to cause trouble for the Lord!" Lan Hua thought to herself.
When Lan Hua arrived near Youqiu Tower, she discovered that Zi Yue and Mao Youqiu were standing at a distance, as were the two quasi-emperors who had come to cause trouble.
The four of them were quite far apart.
Lan Hua approached Zi Yue, hummed in agreement, and said, "Could it be that those two aren't traveling together?"
Zi Yue nodded.
"That old man in green is an ancestor of the Cui family in Qinghejie, named Cui Meng!"
Lan Hua was taken aback.
"What? The Cui family actually has a quasi-emperor? How come I didn't know?"
Zi Yue rolled her eyes and said, "The Cui family of Qinghe Realm is a powerful family. Even if they don't have an emperor, they still have a quasi-emperor."
"Regarding the wedding saga last time, Cui Meng simply didn't want to show his face!"
Lan Hua asked in confusion, "Qinghe Realm is so powerful, why doesn't it have an emperor in charge?"
Zi Yue transmitted her voice and said, "That's a long story. Qinghe Realm has always been righteous."
Tens of thousands of years ago, Cui Fengxiang, the patriarch of the Cui family, followed the Pill Emperor to the second level of the Heavenly Realm, but, as you know, he never returned!
"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Cui family has never produced an emperor, which is why they have gradually declined!"
"I see!"
Originally, Lan Hua harbored resentment towards the Cui family, but after hearing what Zi Yue said, she began to admire them.
Daring to go on an expedition with the Heavenly Emperor Dan, he is definitely not a coward.
"Who is the other person?"
Zi Yue snorted, "That person in white is called Bai Qian, a quasi-emperor of the Spirit Clan, whose true form is a nine-tailed spirit fox!"
Lan Hua's eyes lit up.
So he knew the Nine-Tailed Fox well.
Lan Hua's arrival did not attract the attention of Cui Meng and the Nine-Tailed Fox; they didn't even blink.
After all, a peak Xuan-rank expert is not enough to impress a Quasi-Emperor.
Although the Quasi-Emperor is not an Emperor, his cultivation level is far higher than that of the peak of the Profound Rank.
Zi Yue's ability to overpower the Li family's Grand Elder in the Heavenly Realm is a prime example.
"Why are those two causing trouble for Youqiu Tower?" Lan Hua asked.
"I don't know, let's wait and see!"
"Both of these two are difficult to deal with, especially Cui Meng. In his hands, the Heaven-Shattering Spear Technique is almost invincible!"
"Let's avoid fighting if we can!"
The owner of the building was still wearing a mask, so his expression was unreadable.
Only his eyes revealed that Mao Youqiu was not afraid of the two who were trying to cause trouble.
"You two distinguished guests have come; is there anything you wish to ask of me?" Mao Youqiu asked with a forced smile.
"What the hell are you asking for!"
Cui Meng said, "Today I will demolish your Youqiu Tower and cripple you to restore justice for my Cui family!"
Mao Youqiu said, "This... isn't a good idea!"
Zi Yue said, "Senior Cui, what exactly did the Lord of the Tower do to offend you? Why are you so angry? We can discuss things together!"
"snort!"
Cui Meng angrily said, "This Mao Youqiu has no martial ethics. He actually revealed the method to break my Cui family's Heaven-Breaking Spear Technique to my Cui family's mortal enemy, the Xia family of Qingyuan Realm, causing the death of my Cui family elder!"
"Miss Tantai, tell me, should I cause him trouble?"
Cui Meng was many years older than Zi Yue, and in his eyes, what else could Zi Yue be but a little girl?
"this..."
Zi Yue didn't know how to respond. She wanted to plead for Mao Youqiu, but she didn't know where to begin.
Mao's actions regarding this matter were indeed unethical.
Although it's called the "Request Tower," it doesn't grant every request.
Mao's actions were indeed immoral.
However, the Xia family of Qingyuan Realm had given Youqiu Tower many benefits, so how could Mao Youqiu refuse them?
Zi Yue looked at the nine-tailed spirit fox and said, "Old fox, you're on the same path as Senior Cui, aren't you?"
The nine-tailed spirit fox snorted, "We're on different paths, but I'm here to cripple this old bastard!"
Zi Yue's eyes widened upon hearing this; it was yet another person with a deep-seated grudge.
Why?
The nine-tailed spirit fox said, "Mao Youqiu told me the location of the Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl, a traitor of the Spirit Clan. He stole the Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl, but fortunately, the Demon Emperor discovered it and left the Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl behind."
The traitor later confessed that Mao Youqiu had informed him of the whereabouts of the Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl!
"But..."
The nine-tailed fox looked at Mao Youqiu.
The latter said awkwardly, "This old dog is so untrustworthy, revealing everything about us. We really can't cooperate with him!"
The Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl is a celestial artifact of the Spirit Clan, extremely precious, and is usually nurtured by the spiritual energy of the myriad beasts of the Spirit Realm.
Only the Demon Emperor knows where it is usually kept.
The nine-tailed spirit fox snorted, "The Demon Emperor even specifically ordered me to smash up the Seeking Tower!"
Zi Yue's delicate body trembled slightly. Since the Demon Emperor had given the order, it seemed that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox had no choice but to take action.
Zi Yue glanced at Lan Hua and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
What kind of karma did I create to end up in this situation, having to agree to Mao's request and shield him from a formidable enemy?
This Mao Youqiu really has no professional ethics; he'll take on any job he wants.
Even though the spirit realm still has a demon emperor, they still dare to overstep their bounds.
Zi Yue said helplessly in a soft voice, "Brother Spirit Fox, could you make an exception for this?"
"After all, the Myriad Beasts Heavenly Pearl wasn't lost, so there was no loss, right?"
"No exceptions!"
The nine-tailed spirit fox snorted, "This is an order from the Demon Emperor, and I have no choice but to obey!"
Mao Youqiu laughed, completely disregarding the two potential emperors.
"You two think you can take down both of us—no, I mean all three of us? Don't even think about it!"
Mao Youqiu ultimately included Lan Hua in his calculations.
The Nine-Tailed Fox and Cui Meng exchanged a glance, then looked at Zi Yue and Lan Hua, and said:
"Do you two truly intend to aid and abet evil and become our enemies?"
Zi Yue had an agreement with Mao Youqiu, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Indeed, I once asked you for a favor, but now that you've encountered a formidable enemy, I have no choice but to help you!"
"If you two insist on fighting, then don't blame us for joining in!"
After speaking, Zi Yue gestured with both hands, and the Alan Killing Sword and the Tuli Killing Sword appeared together, exuding a strong killing aura.
Both swords are top-grade immortal swords, capable of slaying countless beings and even heaven and earth.
Cui Meng snorted, "Although you haven't joined my Cui family, you're still a little short of it. It's disheartening that you're helping Mao Youqiu like this!"
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Zi Yue said, "Little Hua, step back, I'm about to start killing!"
Lan Hua responded and quickly retreated, going back a full three thousand feet.
Zi Yue glanced at Mao Youqiu, "You troublemaker, the Cui family is in your hands now. As for that old fox, I'll take care of him!"
"No problem!"
Mao Youqiu drew his long sword, his killing intent rising rapidly, as if he were determined to kill to the bitter end.
Cui Meng exclaimed in surprise, "This is... the Doomsday Blade, a weapon on par with the two great killing swords, how did it end up in your hands?"
Mao Youqiu snorted, "There are countless people asking me for favors. If I don't get something in return, why would I put in any effort?"
"Let me show you the power of the Doomsday Blade!"
