Chapter 531: Tongtian Tower
There was no superfluous exchange, not even a glance at each other's sullen faces; the four disheveled figures turned into four dim‑colored streaks of light moving at ultimate speed, fled without looking back in different directions from Emperor Beast City, vanishing instantly amid the vast building complex and the torrent of passing beings.
They left in such haste and resolve that they dared not utter a single pleasantry, fleeing at the fastest speed from this place that stripped their dignity, shamed their faces, and swirled with fear and controversy.
No way!
Facing a taboo being like Ye Wuque, whose nature is incalculable and unbeatable, they have no choice but to retreat from the heart!
Staying here any longer, each second is torment, disgrace, and could invite unpredictable calamities.
As for revenge? They dare not even think of that notion now!
As the four Four Fiery Stars fled in disgrace, the onlooking beings at the spot erupted again in heated, endless discussion.
"Just… gone? Lord Ye really didn't even glance at them!"
"Now that's true invincible charisma! The likes of Jin Lieyu and Golden Crow Tenth Prince are already unattainable in the eyes of ordinary Heavenly Pride, yet before Ye War God they don't even merit a glance!"
"The legend is true! Without the Extreme Realm, and with a cultivation level not deep enough, one simply lacks the qualification to rival Ye Wuque! Jin Lieyu and his peers are clearly far below that tier."
"This is no longer a matter of strength disparity, but a gap in the level of existence and cognitive dimension! The scenery Lord Ye sees is probably beyond what we can imagine."
"Today truly opened our eyes! To witness Lord Ye Wuque act, and see his disregard for a strong opponent, this trip to Emperor Beast City was not in vain!"
"Soon, Ye Wuque's appearance in Emperor Beast City, casually brushing away the Four Fiery Stars and departing indifferent, will have the news spread throughout the front segment of Origin Ancient Road, even reaching its middle section!"
Many beings gasped, their faces full of shock and admiration.
Ye Wuque's appearance and his nonchalant yet unrivaled domineering style left an indelible, profound impression on every being who witnessed it.
His image, in countless beings' hearts, became even more mysterious, towering, and unattainable.
……
Meanwhile, inside Tongtian Tower, a completely different scene unfolded.
The interior space was far more expansive and mysterious than it appeared from outside, evidently employing an extremely profound spatial folding array.
Upon entering the gate, one finds a vaulted hall soaring ten thousand zhang, resplendent in gold and jade; soft yet bright light falls from an unknown source, illuminating the floor paved with Star Sand, shimmering with flowing colors. The air is suffused with a faint, refreshing exotic fragrance—not ordinary perfume, but a blend of numerous rare divine herbs and Tranquil Divine Wood, invigorating the spirit.
The hall is not empty; rather, many beings of varied auras sit or stand, murmuring low conversations, or trading something at various counters.
Those who can enter this place are evidently no ordinary folk.
Ye Wuque's and Dou Tianxiong's entrance naturally attracted some gazes, especially Dou Tianxiong's conspicuous silver hair and the faint lingering aura of battle intent and blood.
But when the sharp‑eyed spotted the Black Robe Figure beside Dou Tianxiong, their pupils contracted, they quickly averted their eyes, daring not to stare longer; the previously noisy hall quieted a few degrees.
Clearly, what happened outside had already been swiftly transmitted inside by some means.
The two did not linger in the hall; a middle‑aged man dressed in splendid brocade, face fair and beardless, with a genial smile and a harmonious aura concealed, seemed already informed and hurried forward to greet them.
He appeared to be Human, yet Ye Wuque sensed within him an ancient, gentle beast bloodline, likely a descendant of an auspicious beast, with impressive cultivation and solid foundation, clearly not an ordinary steward.
"Welcome, young gentlemen, to our humble tower! I am the steward of Tongtian Tower, surname Bai, given name Yu. Your arrival truly brings brilliance to our tower!"
Steward Bai Yu's face was covered with a warm, sincere smile; his demeanor was exceedingly courteous yet never overly humble, striking the perfect balance.
He clearly recognized Dou Tianxiong and was even more aware of Ye Wuque's identity, but he did not expose it in words, addressing them as 'young gentlemen' to convey respect while avoiding any hint of sycophancy.
"Find us a quiet place and bring good wine and dishes," Ye Wuque casually instructed, his tone flat.
"Certainly! Young gentlemen, follow me; the topmost floor of the tower houses a Star Dome Quiet Chamber prepared especially for distinguished guests, exceedingly serene and elegant, with a view overlooking Emperor Beast City's nebular scenery, sure not to disappoint you."
Steward Bai Yu quickly stepped aside, his posture low.
Under his guidance, the two did not take ordinary stairs or corridors, but stepped into a concealed small Teleportation Array.
A flash of brilliance, and when they reappeared, they were in an extremely tranquil, luxurious yet elegant space.
This is the top floor of Tongtian Tower, the so‑called Star Dome Quiet Chamber.
Rather than a room, it is more like a small pocket heaven.
Below their feet lies a milky‑white floor warm as Warm Jade, polished like a mirror, reflecting the dreamlike sky above.
It is not a real firmament, but a simulated, ever‑changing magnificent nebular vista created by supreme array, at times like a cascading galaxy, at others like dancing aurora, endlessly beautiful.
The surrounding walls appear to be a semi‑transparent crystal barrier, through which one can clearly see the swirling Chaos nebula outside and the Emperor Beast City panorama below, reduced countless times yet still grand, while the outside cannot glimpse the interior at all, offering superb privacy.
At the center of the Quiet Chamber stands a round table wholly carved from Ten‑Thousand‑Year Warm Divine Jade, accompanied by several similarly crafted wide seats, warm to the touch, possessing a calming, tranquil effect.
Beside the table are a few pots of rare Star Radiance Orchid, emitting a faint, pure fragrance.
In a corner sits a tiny artificial rock waterfall, its tinkling water actually liquid Star Sand essence, exuding a mist of spiritual aura.
"Please sit, young gentlemen."
Steward Bai Yu personally pulled out the seats for the two, then lightly clapped his hands.
Immediately, several maidens dressed in sheer silk, with delicate looks and pure aura, evidently rigorously trained, slipped in silently like butterflies among flowers.
They carried crystal‑clear jade trays, beginning to arrange the dishes methodically.
"If the two gentlemen have any needs, be it wine and food, information, or other special services, feel free to request them at any time; Tongtian Tower will spare no effort to fulfill all your requests."
Steward Bai Yu stood beside them, his face perpetually bearing a perfectly measured smile, his demeanor flawless.
Soon, the round table was laden with a dazzling array of exquisite delicacies.
This Tongtian Tower truly lives up to being the Emperor Beast Great Star Region's First Winehouse; its wine and dishes are not only superb in color, aroma, and taste, but the ingredients are rare and precious, largely beneficial to cultivators.
