Chapter 213: Old Friend of Azure Cloud, the Empress Pays Respect

Vast Heaven Immortal Sect? I've never heard of it…

Ye Tianji at his side paused for a long time before regaining his composure.

It is truly shocking—a sect capable of sealing off and sustaining an entire realm!

Aren't you afraid of retaliation for killing the other side's elder?

No, this senior already could kill an Earth Immortal in the Desolate Martial Realm; upon reaching the Immortal Realm, what more could he achieve?

No wonder this senior can see through others' heavenly mechanisms at a glance.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianji steadied his mind and couldn't help but wonder again just who this senior was.

If he were a mighty figure from before the Middle Ancient Era, he surely would have heard of him.

If he were from after the Middle Ancient Era, being able to kill an Earth Immortal in just tens of millions of years is terrifying.

Compared to that, his cultivation is practically dog-level.

"Can an immortal get drunk?"

"Or can one actually knock an immortal out with drink?"

Feng Qingyang swirled the cup emitting rich wine fragrance of the immortal brew and drank it all in one gulp.

"The taste is not bad; it's worthy of being called a fine brew."

As for the claim of getting cultivators drunk, Feng Qingyang merely smiled faintly.

If that were truly possible, there'd be no need for an immortal war—just find someone to invite him for a drink…

"By the way, senior, did you also come out to tour the Immortal Capital?"

Ye Chen, who had been silent beside them, asked.

He saw Feng Qingyang alone, yet so leisurely and refined, coming here with them to drink.

He guessed that perhaps, like them, he too had come here to travel.

"Traveling isn't the point; whatever comes to mind, I simply take in the world."

Feng Qingyang spoke calmly.

This time out is not only to temper my state of mind, but also……

【"My lord, you're not still just here to play, are you…"】

"Talkative."

【"Ding, my lord, after the system's detailed investigation, this person's origin is extremely unusual, with great karma; the system cannot currently query details and needs to upgrade to level four."】

"Hmm? If so, this person isn't merely an Upper Realm Immortal Venerable, is he?"

Feng Qingyang heard the system's report in his mind and gave Ye Chen beside him a deep look.

"Oh, I see; senior, you truly have an open state of mind."

Unlike him, even a sect leader of his stature must personally come out to seek ways to grow stronger!

The senior is traveling to shed his mundane self, while I am almost traveling to exhaust my karmic ties.

"Azure Cloud… Azure Cloud," Ye Tianji beside him muttered, lowering his head in thought, feeling those two characters were terribly familiar.

The old man on the verge of death just before the stall was just 'Qing, Qing, Qing,' over and over.

Adding the senior's earlier mention of Azure Cloud, something rang a bell.

Suddenly his expression changed, he stood up, and tentatively asked Feng Qingyang beside him: "Senior, the Azure Cloud you mentioned—is it the Azure Cloud Sect?"

Ye Chen beside him, upon hearing that, thought of something: "Azure Cloud Sect? That name sounds familiar—like the great sect that forces the Yun clan to bow."

Feng Qingyang glanced at him again: "Any problem with the Azure Cloud Sect?"

He had some speculation: could the Middle Ancient Era's Heavenly Mechanism Great Emperor……

"Don't take offense, senior; I have a friend in the Desolate Martial Realm, the Azure Cloud Great Emperor Li Qingyun—I wonder if you know him?"

Ye Tianji tried again.

It surely can't be this coincidental!

Upon hearing that, Feng Qingyang said: "The Azure Cloud Great Emperor you mentioned is none other than the founder of my Azure Cloud Sect."

That matches—the founder and the Heavenly Mechanism Great Emperor are both Middle Ancient Era great emperors; they surely knew each other's names.

Who would have thought it would be this coincidental—they actually were friends.

The founder has plenty of acquaintances; the last one was the Demon Emperor who got beaten to death……

"Hiss! It really is as I guessed—that Azure Cloud Great Emperor he……"

"The founder also ascended together to the Immortal Realm and now sits in command of the sect."

Ascended to the Immortal Realm? It seems the renowned Azure Cloud Sect is precisely the sect this senior belongs to!

Ye Chen beside them, listening to their conversation, confirmed his suspicion.

The Immortal Ripple Yun clan must bow before the Azure Cloud! It seems not only is the senior before us powerful, but the forces behind him are heaven-defying!

"Ding, ding, ding."

Just then, a knocking sounded outside the elegant room.

Ye Tianji, who had been pleased hearing news of his friend, furrowed his brow.

"Who is it? Why pick this moment?"

"Come in."

All that could be seen was a woman in a pink long dress pushing the door open.

She apologetically said: "Sorry to disturb the three Upper Immortals; our Drunken Immortal Tower is no longer open, please……"

The woman said this while trembling.

Upon hearing that, Feng Qingyang and the two others furrowed their brows simultaneously.

"What's going on? Kicking out guests in broad daylight?"

Just then, a clamor arose outside the private room.

"What right do you have to make us leave? We haven't finished eating yet!"

"Exactly, how could the prestigious Drunken Immortal Tower do such a thing? It's truly disappointing, Brother Li, let's move elsewhere to keep drinking."

"Hmph! On what grounds? Just because my young master rented the place, to entertain a distinguished guest—offend that guest and you'll bear the consequences."

"By the way, my young master is the eldest son of the Wei family."

Hearing this, Feng Qingyang and his two companions in the private room frowned even tighter—what's going on?

Just having a drink, and we run into such a melodramatic affair?

The powder-clad woman who had come to warn them stood there, at a loss for what to do.

At the same time, two figures walked into the Drunken Immortal Tower from outside.

"Are you sure the Azure Cloud Immortal Lord is here?"

"What I don't understand is, such a great figure actually came personally to my Immortal Capital."

The two figures—one a woman in a luxurious crimson-purple robe, her expression cold and beautiful—spoke up to ask.

If any ministers from other Immortal States were here, they'd surely drop their jaws—their Empress actually came in person to the Drunken Immortal Tower!

"That's right, Your Majesty—I saw with my own eyes that the Immortal Lord entered this Drunken Immortal Tower."

The old man beside the Overlord Heaven Empress spoke respectfully—it was Wei Hai, who had just been outside the Calculate Immortal Pavilion.

I also don't know how Haoer's arrangements turned out.

I had arranged in advance for him to come entertain the Immortal Lord; the Empress will surely praise me for being thorough if she finds out.

When they entered the Drunken Immortal Tower, they saw a scene of utter chaos.

The Overlord Heaven Empress immediately frowned—what's going on? Such noise surely would disturb the Immortal Lord's mood!

The old man's heart jolted—he thought, 'Oh no!'—and hurried forward.

"Hey, the Drunken Immortal Tower isn't open for business—why are you going in? My young master—"

Smack! A loud slap knocked the speaker senseless.

Just then, a young man in splendid robes from behind lit up and hurried over.

"Father! You've come—I've already made arrangements, I'm clearing the place, and I'll properly receive the distinguished guest you mentioned."

Wei Hai, the old man, heard this and felt a black line creep across his forehead.

It's over, completely over—now I can't explain myself!

This unfilial son! Idiot!

"Oh? So it's you who arranged this—if you offend the Immortal Lord, the Empress will make you regret it!"

The Overlord Heaven Empress hurried forward and said coldly.

"Clear the premises? The Immortal Lord is right here in the tavern, and you're clearing the place?"

What a loyal minister, sharing the emperor's worries!

At the Overlord Heaven Empress's command, everyone present rushed to search each private room, she praying silently not to offend the Immortal Lord by mistake.

In another private room.

Feng Qingyang and his two companions finished their last drink on their own.

"It's not me saying—why do you keep staring at us, old man?"

"I may be a lowly immortal calculator, but I have lots of friends and wide connections."

"Tell that whatever young master to come in person—I want to see just how much face he has."

Feng Qingyang beside them gave a light smile—indeed, wherever you go it's survival of the fittest; without strength, you're just an ant to be bullied.

Likewise, he sees no point in quarreling with such ants—if they're displeasing, he simply wipes them out.

Just having a drink and getting kicked out—what a joke!

Just then, several figures hurried over.

"Overlord Heaven Immortal State, Overlord Heaven Empress Zhao Zixun pays respects to the Azure Cloud Immortal Lord!"

"Paying respects to the Immortal Lord!"

At the forefront, the Overlord Heaven Empress respectfully clasped her hands, with several figures following behind.

"Overlord Heaven Empress!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianji and Ye Chen in the private room jumped up in shock.

The Overlord Heaven Empress, ruler of the Immortal State!

No! What did she say!

Azure Cloud Immortal Lord!

The two of them turned in terror toward Feng Qingyang sitting in the middle.

I never expected that the senior we were drinking and chatting with would actually be the Lord of Azure Cloud!

"Our sect doesn't like noise," said Feng Qingyang in the middle, indifferent.

"Yes, yes, all of you get lost before the Empress!"

The Overlord Heaven Empress quickly turned and gave orders.

"You too, get out."
