Stop, Let Go of That Man!

[Because there were no checks, landing was quick once the Star Harbor was cleared.]

[You, Chen Yi, known as Venom in the Heavenly River.]

[Your wanted posters are plastered all over the streets and alleys, even the Opera Star are no exception.]

[You didn't want to cause a global sensation, so after landing on the Opera Star, you transformed back into the Red-Haired Demon Slayer slayer Chen Dong.]

[Neither the Great Demon nor Li Wentian showed any surprise at your sudden change in appearance and hairstyle.]

[That's how we Cultivator are; we have plenty of little tricks up our sleeves.]

[Since a disguise-type keyword was used, the 200% keyword boost effect for "Upright Human" is naturally lost.]

[However, we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater and abandon all disguise-related modifiers just for the sake of this amplification effect; we still need to use them when necessary.]

[Upon leaving Star Harbor, you, Great Demon, and Li Wentian each received a stack of invitations from a more powerful force in the Opera Star.]

Each invitation here can be used to offset Source Stone.

"You're not going, are you? Give me yours."

[You dragged over that stack of invitations from the Great Demon.]

[As you predicted, in this entertainment-obsessed Opera Star, you really can't find a deserted place.]

[At first glance, it appears to be a place with lush green mountains and clear waters, babbling brooks, and secluded tranquility.]

[Actually, those are all tourist gardens and resort villas, all covered by Warning Array, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter.]

You had no choice but to find a teahouse with lodging and settle the Great Demon there.

[When the Great Demon was killing people everywhere, he was basically always in the form of a cloud of black mist.]

[His true appearance was that of a frail scholar, making his presence in a teahouse listening to storytelling quite plausible.]

[You've arranged for another clone to keep an eye on the Great Demon. If the Great Demon causes trouble, the clone can not only notify you, but also obtain your cultivation level through the entry to restrain the Great Demon.]

"You stay here and don't go anywhere. If the Sword Master is on this planet, it will be easy for us to find him. He'll be back soon."

The Great Demon frowned slightly.

"Don't speak to me like you're instructing a child! I'm only giving you face because you're an old friend from the Human World, don't take advantage of it!"

[Your lips twitched down, and you almost blurted out the quintessence of Chinese culture.]

"You bastard..."

[After settling the Great Demon, you begin inquiring about the whereabouts of the Human Race swordsman who is highly likely to be the Sword Master.]

[The place where the Great Demon was settled happened to be a teahouse, a melting pot of all sorts of people from the South Sea, and where information was most readily available.]

After treating a few Three-Eyed Race who looked like chivalrous knights to a lavish meal, they became very open and honest.

"Oh~ You've also come here because of his reputation, hoping to meet that swordsman? We have too! We've heard that his Swordsmanship is superb, his appearance surpasses that of an immortal, and his every move has more elegance than the famous actors of the ' Wanjing Pavilion '!"

[Another Three-Eyed Race shouted.]

"I heard that ' Wanjing Pavilion ' invited him to join, intending to groom him as their top performer! But ' Hundred Flowers Tower ' intervened and snatched him away, and later it seems ' Thousand Gold Stage ' also managed to get him!"

Your lips are twitching.

[The Sword Master, a mere swordsman, has actually done so well in the Opera Star, being fought over by so many major labels, and has already achieved such great fame.]

"Do you know where this swordsman has been lately?"

"If the rumors are true, and the last major force that took him away was ' Thousand Gold Stage,' then he should be in Thousand Gold City, the headquarters of ' Thousand Gold Stage,' right now!"

[A few days later.]

[Thousand Gold City.]

The dazzling lights and vibrant nightlife along the way have truly dazzled you.

You might have thought that modern societies like Earth offered a rich entertainment experience.

[I never imagined that an ancient-style cultivation world could be so incredibly diverse!]

[I won't say more; please use your imagination.]

[You and Li Wentian entered the city without hindrance, thanks to your invitation.]

[Walking down the main street of this city, the beautiful women soliciting customers in the commercial buildings on both sides practically pull your arm off.]

[That's why violence is prohibited on Opera Star; otherwise, you could slap them twice.]

Since we can't use force, let's just pull it.

"Brother Chen, you seem to be enjoying this."

[Li Wentian stood with his hands on his hips, his expression dignified and exuding an aura of dominance; no one dared to tug at him.]

"Ahem! I'm just doing as the Romans do, to avoid any unnecessary complications."

"Do you remember why we came to Thousand Gold City?"

"Of course I remember! I'm looking for the Sword Master!"

"The Thousand Gold Stage is just ahead. Have you thought it through? If the Sword Master is here, how do you plan to take him away? The Thousand Gold Stage probably won't let him go."

"I trust my inventory."

[Of the things Venom swept away that year, you melted some of them, but you melted them in order of increasing quality.]

[The truly priceless items are still safely stored in your Pot Heaven Space.]

"Why can't I participate! Even a Third Grade Alchemist can participate, but I'm a first-grade!"

"Don't be unreasonable, you Human Race! If our Pill King Competition only cared about who had the highest rank, what would be the point of the competition? We'd just give you the award directly!"

["This is a cover-up! A cover-up! You Alien Race despise Human Race from the bottom of your hearts! You treat Human Race unfairly in every way! I've seen through you!"]

["Who the hell are you calling Alien Race? You son of a bitch, in our eyes you're the Alien Race, don't you understand? Get lost!!"]

"I'm not leaving! I have to get in and compete today!"

A quarrel by the roadside caught your attention; your ears twitched, and your gaze turned in that direction.

[Seeing the young man being blocked outside the door by several tall, Alien Race, struggling to break in, your expression gradually brightened.]

"Brother Li! Look who that person is!"

"You've found the Sword Master?"

[Li Wentian turned his head and saw that the person was not the Sword Master, but Shen Qingshan.]

[It could also be said that he was Shen Yang, the ancestor of the Star Domain Shen Family the Human World.]

These two are now one, inseparable.

[Ancestor Shen is also on your recycling list.]

[Even more important than the Great Demon and Li Wentian, Ancestor Shen's plan for you is crucial; he's a scientific research talent!]

However, Ancestor Shen is currently facing a rather significant problem.

[He shouted "unfair!" and "shady dealings!" in front of a powerful organization called "Pindan Tower," which angered the other party, who immediately called the police.]

The constables maintaining order in the city arrived at lightning speed, emerging directly from the Pindan Tower. They were currently imposing shackles on Ancestor Shen to restrict his cultivation, intending to imprison him.

"I'm going to be thrown in jail just for telling the truth?! What kind of world is this! You officials and businessmen are all in cahoots, a den of snakes and rats, working together in cahoots!"

[The bailiff who arrested him said sarcastically.]

"Even if you recite a hundred more idioms, you won't escape jail today. Don't think you're a celebrity just because you've been in the limelight a few times. It's difficult for Human Race to become stars in our Opera Star. Do you think everyone is a swordsman?"

[The constables were about to take Ancestor Shen away when you and Li Wentian blocked their way.]

"Stop! Let go of that man!"
