Conflict

Most of the officials from the Ministry of Rites were at the Immortal Emperor Realm level, so they could naturally see through the cultivation levels of Shi Hao and his companions.

The one in the lead was a fifth-level Immortal Emperor, the one carrying a sword on his back was a second-level Immortal Emperor, the pretty little girl was a first-level Immortal Emperor, and the youngest was only a peak Immortal King Realm.

Although their talent is unparalleled, what use is talent in the face of absolute power? Can they withstand two Heaven-rank Light Emissary?

The thought of the imperial court using two Half-Step Immortal Emperors at the Supreme God Lord Realm to deal with these little kids... it's really hard not to laugh!

After a moment of silence, the officials from the Ministry of Rites burst into laughter.

"Haha! This is hilarious! This is the Azure Cloud Six Venerables? Are you guys here to be funny?"

"Exactly, that little brat in the lead even calls himself 'This Lord,' has he even grown his hair yet?"

"Hey, forget it. They've made me laugh, and my anger has subsided a lot. Let's not make things difficult for them. Let's finish our business and go back quickly. The thought of my 100,000 concubines makes me angry again."

Shi Hao remained unfazed by their reaction, staring at them with an indifferent expression, as if he were looking at a group of comical monkeys.

Lin Bai and the others secretly circulated their cultivation, ready to make a move at any moment.

"You two must be the real leaders of Soaring Clouds, right?" The leading official from the Ministry of Rites bypassed Shi Hao and approached Mu Shuixian and Lin Anye, saying this.

He was the leader of the Ministry of Rites officials on this trip, named Lu Renyi, with a cultivation level of the fifth level of Heavenly Source Immortal Venerable.

The cold and beautiful woman and the imposing old man in front of him were both at the same level of Heavenly Source Immortal Venerable as he was.

Hmm, his cultivation level is decent enough; in such a small place, he's certainly powerful enough to dominate. No wonder he became the Supreme Venerable Soaring Clouds.

"I don't care where you come from, what kind of power you have behind you, or what your purpose is in coming here. It has nothing to do with me."

"Everyone, be quick about it. As long as you hand over this tribute, we'll leave immediately."

After saying that, Lu Renyi took out a list from his Spatial Immortal Treasure and handed it over.

"Your Excellency, let me take a look," Ouyang Ning said respectfully as he walked over from the main seat.

After receiving a nod from Mu Shuixian, Ouyang Ning took the list from Lu Renyi's hand.

She only glanced at it before her eyes widened.

This time, the tribute was ten times more than usual!

Right now, our Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty is at a critical moment of development where everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. We really can't come up with that many resources!

But if they can't produce it, will the Radiant Divine Kingdom just let it go?

"This tribute is far too much. Could... could you make an exception?"

"What! You Soaring Clouds can't even produce this much in supplies? Where is this too much? This has been the same amount for years, only a little more during wartime. Don't spout nonsense with your eyes wide open. Have you even looked for the reasons within yourselves? Soaring Clouds hasn't developed at all all these years?"

Lu Renyi furious! He had spoken to them in a very polite manner, promising not to make things difficult for them as long as they handed over the tribute, and yet they said they didn't?

The other officials from the Ministry of Rites also felt that they had been tricked yet again. These people from Soaring Clouds were simply courting death!

"Hmph! You're courting death and don't know what's good for you!"

"Lord Lu, let's go. Since they don't want to give it, let's have a few Radiant Emissary talk them and reason with them."

Seeing that they were about to give up and leave, Shi Hao stopped them, "Don't be in such a hurry, who said we wouldn't give it to them? Of course we will."

"Elder Mu, Elder Lin, please bring out the items quickly, don't keep them waiting."

Upon hearing this, the officials from the Ministry of Rites stopped in their tracks, their faces breaking into smiles. That's more like it. There's an old saying in the Heavenly Universe Immortal Realm: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

"Okay, we'll get it right away."

Mu Shuixian and Lin Anye nodded, and then each of them took out a Spatial Immortal Treasure from their person.

The celestial treasure was clearly of a high grade, Lu Renyi practically staring at it with wide eyes.

This trip to Soaring Clouds was definitely worthwhile! Not only did we successfully collect tribute, but we also gained an unexpected bonus!

"Very well, hand it over to me now."

"Here you go, come and take it."

Lu Renyi stepped forward and was about to take the immortal treasure when Mu Shuixian and Lin Anye in front of him suddenly attacked!

Their personal immortal weapons automatically flew out from their respective Spatial Immortal Treasure and hurtled straight toward Lu Renyi, who was right in front of them.

The two had already activated their techniques, and the terrifying Heavenly Source Power was released in an instant, striking Lu Renyi together.

Boom!

Attack from all four directions! The consequences are predictable!

Keep in mind that this was a joint attack by two seventh-level Immortal Venerables! And it was a surprise attack!

Even Lu Renyi instantly blasted into dust! The dozen or so officials from the Ministry of Rites behind him were also killed!

The defensive array within the celestial palace hummed and hummed, protecting Shi Hao and his Empress Ouyang Ning, so they were not affected in the slightest.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Wonderful."

Before Shi Hao and the others could catch their breath, two figures clapped and stepped into the Immortal Palace, followed by eight other figures.

Seeing this Mu Shuixian and Lin Anye also quickly looked over, thinking to themselves: The main event is about to begin.

The two leading figures were none other than the two Heaven-rank Light Emissary, Chen Tiansheng, the God Lord Tiansheng, and Wu Tianguang, the God Lord Tianguang.

The two were dressed in distinctive clothing, a color that was neither quite white nor quite white, as if it had been dyed by light, pure and clean. Both of them exuded a restrained and imposing aura, and with this unique attire, they looked like gods who had walked out of the light.

The eight Earth-rank Light Emissary behind them were also dressed in uniform, each with an extraordinary aura, and each of them was no less powerful than Lu Renyi, who had already turned to ashes.

This is the foundation of the Radiant Divine Kingdom! There are ten Heaven-rank Light Emissary and no less than a hundred Earth-rank Light Emissary! This is one of the reasons why Light is so confident in not taking the newly emerging Evernight seriously.

"That was truly spectacular! You've put on quite a show for us."

After clapping, the God Lord Tianguang stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

The events that just happened in the Celestial Palace were entirely under my control.

Those useless people from the Ministry of Rites have already tested the true strength of the Six Venerables of Soaring Clouds. Let them die if they want; there's no need to intervene to save them.

I was quite interested in these so-called Six Supreme Beings, especially the four little children.

Their extraordinary talent is in no way inferior to those geniuses on the Sky Beyond the Sky Wind and Cloud Ranking. With proper nurturing, they will surely become four unparalleled giants who can stir up the winds and clouds once they grow up!

If I could take him as my apprentice...

The God Lord Tiansheng, who was standing to the side, shared the same thought and was also considering taking on a disciple, which is why he did not rush to make a move.
