Despair Star: Poor Yuyang

Immortal Lord Yuyang stared at Wu Yue in astonishment, his heart filled with anxiety. "Oh no, this has backfired! How... how did Wu Yue become like this? How exactly did those intelligence officers investigate!"

"Ah, haha... Sect Master Wu Yue, there's no need to be so angry. Come, come, come, let's have a sip of tea first. Yes, let's have a sip of tea first, calm down, and talk slowly. Everything can be discussed!" Immortal Lord Yuyang's expression was very friendly as he pushed the tea on the table toward Wu Yue.

Wu Yue coldly blocked the teacup, saying, "No need, I'm not thirsty! Immortal Lord Yuyang, if you're sincere, show it; otherwise, hmph!"

"Hehe..." Immortal Lord Yuyang chuckled awkwardly, feeling quite embarrassed. Yuyang was originally the head of the Ten Radiance Immortal Lords of the Purple Cloud Realm, and he had never suffered such humiliation before. However, he had to endure it now. He knew that the way out for the Purple Cloud Realm lay with Yan Zong, or more precisely, with the group of old ghosts behind Yan Zong.

"500,000 Immortal Crystals!" Yu Yang suddenly said.

Wu Yue laughed, but his eyes were fixed on Immortal Lord Yuyang. "Oh? 500,000 Immortal Crystals, how generous! Immortal Lord Yuyang, don't you know the background of my Yan Sect? My master and the others dug quite a lot out of the Immortal Crystal Planet that day. If the Immortal Crystal Planet hadn't appeared, perhaps I would have cared about these 500,000 Immortal Crystals, but now..." Wu Yue laughed disdainfully.

Immortal Lord Yuyang looked at Wu Yue, wanting to kill Wu Yue, but he had to suppress his anger and make his expression even more friendly!

"Oh, Old Man Huangshi and the others did indeed obtain a lot of immortal crystals. In that case, how about 1 million immortal crystals!" Immortal Lord Yuyang said, seemingly in great pain.

Wu Yue smiled without saying a word. He picked up the teacup he had just refused from the table, took a slow sip, and sighed, "Why am I so thirsty today?" He then took another sip, completely ignoring the expectant gaze of Immortal Lord Yuyang.

"Two million immortal crystals, that's the limit!" Immortal Lord Yuyang suddenly stood up and said firmly.

Wu Yue also stood up and said, "Oh? No more? Good!" Immortal Lord Yuyang's face immediately showed a hint of joy, but Wu Yue suddenly said:

"See a visitor out!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yuyang felt an urge to kneel down and beg Wu Yue.

"This... why is Wu Yue so stubborn? Do I really have to use my trump card? Fine, but no matter what, I have to keep the immortal crystal a secret!" Yu Yang made up his mind and was finally going to use his trump card.

"Sect Master Wu Yue, once you form an alliance with my Purple Cloud Realm, you can choose any one of the seventeen cities under my Purple Cloud Realm, except for the city where the Purple Cloud Realm's Wu Yue gate is located. Consider it a gift from my Purple Cloud Realm!" Yu Yang said generously.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Yes, please wait a moment while I think about it carefully. You can rest here for a while!"

Yu Yang nodded in satisfaction. He knew this wasn't a decision the sect leader could make alone; it required discussion among the other elders. He wasn't in a hurry, confident that his offer was substantial enough.

As soon as Wu Yue entered the inner hall, Huangyan True Person waved his hand slightly and set up a restriction.

"Amazing, amazing!" Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed.

Huangyan True Person sighed, "Truly impressive. The Purple Cloud Realm can choose any city they own. It seems they are really in a hurry this time. The value of this huge city cannot be measured by immortal crystals alone."

Wu Yue sighed, "Yes, our Yan Sect is just a newly established sect in this city. We don't have much power at all. It's only because our master has a lot of influence that others tolerate us! If we had our own city, the development of the Yan Sect would be a completely different story."

Zhang Xingfeng laughed, "But... if the Purple Cloud Realm is destroyed, where will the city he promised still be?"

Wu Yue was stunned. That's right, if the Purple Cloud Realm is destroyed, what's the use of the promise? The Purple Cloud Realm is forcing the old guys behind the Rock Sect to take action!

"However, if we don't help the Purple Cloud Realm, once Purple Cloud Realm's destroyed, all the cities Purple Cloud Realm possesses will be unclaimed. At that time, with twenty Immortal Emperor experts like True Person, seizing one or two cities would be a piece of cake. Why fight alongside the Purple Cloud Realm against the Fengyuan Gate and the Tianlong Sect, only to suffer such heavy losses in the end! You must know that Li Qiang is not so easy to deal with!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile, but in his heart he thought, "Li Qiang is not easy to deal with, but with a mid-grade Saint Artifact, I can still handle him!"

Zhang Xingfeng has not directly attacked Purple Cloud Realm because he is worried that the only thing Purple Cloud Realm can threaten him with is the formation "Universe Shift"!

Huangyan True Person, Old Man Huangshi, and Wu Yue all laughed upon hearing this!

That's right. The Purple Cloud Realm's sphere of influence encompasses nearly fifty cities. Besides the thirty cities that are vassals of the Purple Cloud Realm, it also possesses eighteen cities of its own. Once the Purple Cloud Realm is destroyed, these cities will all be ownerless. At that time, the Four Sects of the Immortal Realm and other forces will definitely make their move. With the strength of a powerful expert like Huangyan True Person, even occupying one or two cities would be extremely easy!

"Wu Yue, do you know how to deal with him now? First, accept his immortal crystals, then turn on him immediately! I believe Ziwei is a smart person and knows how to choose her enemies!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huangyan True Person laughed and said, "Xingfeng, you really are... haha, taking his immortal crystal and then slapping him, brilliant!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly had an idea and said to Wu Yue, "Sect Master Wu Yue, just ask him to give you his storage bracelet. I believe there are definitely more immortal crystals in it than just this. I know Yu Yang well; he's a rather cunning fellow. No matter what, he's unlikely to tell you his true bottom line!"

"Huh? The Carefree Immortal Emperor, you're saying that two million immortal crystals isn't his bottom line?" Wu Yue asked incredulously.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled but did not answer, only saying, "In that case, you can take the entire storage bracelet. The extra immortal crystals inside can be considered a gift from me Zhang Xingfeng, to the Yan Sect, hehe..."

Seeing Zhang Xingfeng's certainty, Wu Yue immediately said, "Alright, in that case. Carefree Immortal Emperor, Martial Uncle, Master, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

"Hehe, Immortal Lord Yuyang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Alright, we've made our decision!" Wu Yue said with a beaming smile.

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yuyang immediately asked, "Oh? What was the result?"

Wu Yue said, "We agree!" Immortal Lord Yuyang smiled immediately, but Wu Yue suddenly said, "But we have a small condition: is your immortal crystal placed in this Azure Bracelet?"

"Of course! This Azure Bracelet is specially designed to hold immortal crystals. Hehe, by the way, Sect Master Wu Yue, please take out an Azure Bracelet so I can give you the immortal crystals! As for that small condition you mentioned, I agree to it as long as it's not a big problem!" Immortal Lord Yuyang said immediately.

"It's nothing, I just find it troublesome. You can just give me the whole Azure Bracelet," Wu Yue said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "This... this Azure Bracelet was given to me by my master himself back then. Whenever I see this bracelet, I think of my master's care for me. I have always been reluctant to give it to outsiders. This... I am really sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue cursed inwardly, "This Yu Yang is indeed as cunning as the Carefree Immortal Emperor said!" Wu Yue's face darkened, "Hmph, Yu Yang, I've told you, today I want this Azure Bracelet, and I've made it clear! If you don't give me this Azure Bracelet along with the Immortal Crystal today, then everything you've said is over! You decide what to do!"

Yu Yang was stunned!

Suddenly, Immortal Lord Yuyang smiled wryly and released the Azure Bracelet from its contract, placing it directly on the table. He looked at Wu Yue and said calmly, "Sect Master Wu Yue, impressive, impressive, I admire you! How could you know how many extra Immortal Crystals were in this Azure Bracelet?" Immortal Lord Yuyang was not stupid; he did not believe that the other party would deny the alliance between the two families simply because of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue raised an eyebrow and immediately took the Azure Bracelet, scanning it with his Divine Sense: "Three million immortal crystals! Well, Immortal Lord Yuyang, your appetite is truly enormous, preparing to devour one million immortal crystals in one go. I admire you, I admire you!"

Yu Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Tell me, who figured it out? I don't believe it was you. When I said the maximum was 2 million immortal crystals, you didn't doubt it at all?"

"Who?" Wu Yue asked mysteriously, "The strategist I specially invited!"

"A strategist?" Yu Yang murmured.

Wu Yue continued, "According to the strategist, I took your immortal crystals, but I will not sign any supplementary agreements with you. In other words, I will not do anything for your Purple Cloud Realm after taking your immortal crystals."

Immortal Lord Yuyang was stunned and roared, "Wu Yue, how dare you mock my Purple Cloud Realm like this! You took three million immortal crystals from my Purple Cloud Realm and you still won't do me a favor? Do you think my Purple Cloud Realm is easy to bully?"

Immortal Lord Yuyang never imagined that anyone would dare to treat him, the Purple Cloud Realm cultivator, in such a way.

Immortal Lord Yuyang was also careless. This time, when he saw Wu Yue accept three million immortal crystals, he naturally assumed that Wu Yue had agreed to the matter. He never thought that Yan Sect would dare to mess with the Purple Cloud Realm!

After all, Yu Yang, as the leader of the Ten Radiance Immortal Lords of the Purple Cloud Realm, held a revered position. His mindset hadn't shifted; he still considered himself a powerful figure from the most influential force! He didn't realize that the world had changed, and his status had changed!

"Get out! Get back to the Purple Cloud Realm and tell Ziwei that my master and senior uncle are waiting for him here. If he comes back for those three million immortal crystals, my master and senior uncle will tell him. What do you mean by losing both your wife and your army! Get out of here now!" Wu Yue suddenly turned hostile and shouted!

"You...you..." Immortal Lord Yuyang pointed at Wu Yue, unable to utter a single word.

"Haha... Go back and tell Ziwei that this old man Huangshi and I are waiting for him. However, he believes that if we side with Fengyuan Gate, your Purple Cloud Realm may not have any chance at all. Haha... But your three million immortal crystals are not useless. We old guys are neutral. Haha, neutral!" Huangyan True Person and Old Man Huangshi walked out of the inner hall.

Yu Yang was fully awake.

He looked at Huangyan True Person, nodded, and said, "I admire you, I admire you. Old ginger is spicier. Farewell!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Yu Yang vanished with the Purple Cloud Realm disciples behind him.

"Haha, Sect Master Wu Yue's words are indeed sharp, I admire you, I admire you!" Zhang Xingfeng also came out from the inner hall, he didn't want Yu Yang to find out that he was here.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue immediately said, "Hehe... This is truly a stroke of genius from you, Carefree Immortal Emperor. Sure enough, Yu Yang attempted to devour this one million immortal crystals. One million immortal crystals! That's no small sum."

Old Man Huangshi was overjoyed and laughed, "Good! Ziwei sent us three million immortal crystals, but we insulted her instead. Hehe, I wonder what Ziwei's expression will be when she hears this news?"

Zhang Xingfeng laughed, "Yeah, I really want to know Ziwei's expression when she hears this news. I'm sure it'll be so gloomy it'll drip water! Haha... haha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

What was Ziwei's expression when she heard the news?

"What! What did you say!" Ziwei looked at Yuyang in disbelief.

Yu Yang argued, "Not only did they refuse, they also threatened to kill me if I didn't leave the Azure Bracelet behind. I thought to myself, if I die, they will still take the Azure Bracelet, and I won't be able to serve my master anymore. So I endured the humiliation and gave them the Azure Bracelet. Master! No matter what, I will risk my life for you. I cannot die in such a meaningless way!"

Yu Yang appeared loyal.

Upon hearing this, Ziwei roared, "What did you say? They not only refused to form an alliance, but they also stole three million immortal crystals! You bastard, you bastard, what good are you? And you talk about enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. Go to hell! Is your life worth three million immortal crystals?"

Yu Yang immediately shouted, "I'm not worth it, I'm not worth it, Master. I know I'm not worth so many immortal crystals, but Master, if I resist, I'll die in the Rock Sect. Dying is meaningless. I want to die on the battlefield, fighting against the Fengyuan Sect and the Tianlong Sect Fengyuan Gate. That's meaningful. At least I can contribute to my Purple Cloud Realm."

Ziwei took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I won't say anything more. Things have already come to this point, there's no point in talking about it now!"

"Oh no! Someone's attacking!" Ziwei's expression suddenly changed.
