Allow Me to Play Host

Bai Li brought Bai Qiuran, the Ghost Emperor, over here so he could play the villain.

After all, these are issues within the Immortal Realm. Even the First Immortal Emperor and the Central Immortal Emperor must maintain a basic level of decorum. But Bai Qiuran, the Ghost Emperor, is different. He only cares about Life and Death Reincarnation, and is theoretically independent of the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, he didn't need to maintain his image in front of the Immortals. He could make fun of the Four Immortal Emperors however he wanted, making him perfect for playing the bad cop.

Next, he tricked the Western White Emperor and the Southern Red Emperor, and then, seeing the four emperors' stunned expressions, he said to them somewhat impatiently, "I hate beating around the bush. To tell you the truth, I'm here today to collect souls."

"Soul capture?"

The four emperors exchanged glances, then the Azure Emperor laughed and asked, "Whose soul does Your Ghost Emperor wish to capture?"

"I, the Emperor, will naturally capture the souls of those who deserve to die."

Bai Qiuran glanced at them.

"In my opinion, there are quite a few people here who deserve to die today."

"I think Your Majesty has come to the wrong place."

The Azure Emperor laughed heartily, "We Immortals have all endured countless hardships and tribulations to Ascension, and we all possess boundless merit. How could we deserve to die? Besides, we Immortals live as long as heaven itself and will not die, so how could our souls be taken away by Your Majesty?"

"Your Azure Emperor, I advise you to remain humble before His Ghost Emperor."

The Central Immortal Emperor said to the Azure Emperor, "Life and death are governed by natural laws, Karma are Fate. Even Immortals cannot reverse life and death or turn back the Reincarnation."

"That's not quite right. There's a saying that Fate is predetermined, but don't we Immortals believe that human will can overcome fate?"

The Azure Emperor scoffed, "You've even lost this much ambition, Le Zhentian. I truly believe that you, the Central Immortal Emperor, are unworthy of your position and your title is undeserved."

"Man can conquer nature; that saying is not entirely wrong."

Bai Qiuran nodded.

"But you've misunderstood something. The Fate of life and death isn't determined by Heaven, but by the Underworld Ghost Realm under my command."

The Azure Emperor laughed heartily.

"So, if I can conquer your Ghost Realm, will I then be able to control the Fate of life and death?"

You can give it a try.

Bai Qiuran coldly replied to the Azure Emperor.

"Alright everyone."

At this moment, Bai Li, who had been sitting silently in the main seat, finally interrupted them. He looked at the Azure Emperor and asked, "Fellow Nie Qingyun, may I ask if you have treated the Subjects of the Eastern Immortal Realm with the same attitude all these years?"

The Eastern Azure Emperor remained silent.

"Kill those who disobey, kill those who have wealth but do not offer tribute, and eliminate all the beautiful women who catch your eye. More importantly, nip in the bud any seed of hope that is more promising than yours."

Bai Li looked at him.

"I have reviewed your Records. You may be considered a Warlord, but your actions disqualify you from being addressed as a fellow Daoist by me."

"And the three of you."

Bai Li pulled a large stack of Records from under the table and slammed them onto it.

He patted the Records, then looked at the three Immortal Emperors to the west, south, and north.

"In some respects, the actions of these three are even worse than those of Nie Qingyun."

"From what I hear..."

The Northern Black Emperor chuckled, "Is His Majesty the First Immortal Emperor planning to eliminate us?"

"So what?"

The Eastern Azure Emperor sneered, "It is an eternal truth that those who wield power occupy high positions, and I am merely acting in accordance with this truth. First Immortal Emperor, aren't you now preparing to use [power] to destroy me?"

"Annihilate? No, the Five Directions Immortal Emperor are my subordinates. Using such an equivalent term as 'annihilate' is inappropriate."

As Bai Li was speaking, he suddenly slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Today I am going to punish you, you four traitors and heretics!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Bai Li's cold gaze swept over the four Immortal Emperor present, while the four opposite him clearly had something to rely on, and there was not much fear or tension in their eyes.

"Oh dear, oh dear."

The Western White Emperor spread his hands and said, "I told you, there's no such thing as a good banquet. Now look what's happened, we haven't even seen a banquet, and it's already turned into a trap. Your Majesty, the First Immortal Emperor, you have eight hundred axemen prepared outside the gate, is that right?"

"Hmph, Immortal Emperor Shuohong certainly had a very colorful childhood."

Bai Li reached out and grabbed the edge of the expensive large table in the conference room.

"But unfortunately, this is not a place where breaking a cup is used as a signal!"

With that, he flipped the large table over.

With a surge of Immortal Power, Bai Li's abundant Immortal Power transformed this ordinary table into a terrifyingly lethal weapon, propelling it towards the four Immortal Emperor like a giant cannonball.

A flash of white light, Western White Emperor drew his sword from his back, splitting the large table into four pieces. But behind the table, Bai Li's hand reached out like a shadow.

The Western White Emperor Shuo Hong crossed his swords to block Bai Li's palm strike. The clash of their Immortal Power caused turbulent currents, and the entire hotel instantly collapsed into ruins.

"Your Majesty, the First Immortal Emperor."

There was a hint of excitement in Shuo Hong's eyes, typical of Martial Artist.

"White Emperor Shuo Hong of the West, has come to inquire!"

"I do not recall ever bestowing upon myself the title of 'Western White Emperor.'"

Bai Li increased the force of his palm strike and said, "Not everyone is qualified to use [Bai] as their surname. Don't you understand, Venerable Immortal Emperor Shuo Hong, that we should avoid using the surname [Bai]?"

Bai Li unleashed his Immortal Power, and the difference in strength was immediately apparent. The Western White Emperor was sent flying backward, smashing countless houses and carving a deep ditch in the ground.

As the battle began, after the White Emperor away, the other three Immortal Emperor arrived above the collapsed ruins. The Eastern Azure Emperor stood still, the Southern Red Emperor raised strange flames in his hands, roared, and charged towards Bai Li, while the Northern Black Emperor let out a fierce howl Bai Qiuran.

The two Immortal Emperor unleashed their power simultaneously, causing strange phenomena to appear in the Heaven and Earth. The ground began to crack, like parched yellow earth that had lost its moisture after years of drought. Faint red light shone from within the Rift, while dark clouds gathered in the sky. Tiny ice crystals drifted down from the sky, and upon contact with anything, these ice crystals would immediately turn into large ice flowers, freezing the objects they touched into ice blocks.

However, these powers were immediately contained by a faint barrier as they spread beyond the block.

Bai Li met the attack with a palm strike, clashing with the Southern Red Emperor's fists. Instantly, a burst of golden and red light erupted, the two energies clashing and triggering a massive explosion. The ground shook, creating a giant, bowl-shaped crater with lava flowing at the bottom.

As the Northern Black Emperor charged toward Bai Qiuran, a golden light suddenly appeared before him. Caught off guard, the Black Emperor was blocked by the golden light and had no choice but to retreat.

The golden light hovered in mid-air; it was actually an ancient Bronze Sword. The Northern Black Emperor touched her cheek, where a cut had appeared on her fair skin, and bright red blood flowed from the cut, running down her cheek.

Bai Li, who had parried the Southern Red Emperor's attack with one hand, reached out and the Bronze Sword fell into his hand. He then used it to block behind his back. In that direction, the Western White Emperor Shuo Hong, was about to unleash his sword and saber, but it was firmly blocked by Bai Li's Bronze Sword.

"Yu Mo, His Ghost Emperor is a guest from afar, how can you be so rude?"

Bai Li laughed and said, "Let me entertain you."
