Chapter 260 – Do you guys look down on us?

“Are you looking down on us?” Tang Yu’s expression darkened.

Jiang Luo and the others nodded in agreement.

“This…” Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi exchanged glances, their faces filled with helplessness.

…

Inside the building, the group walked along the luxurious corridor. Tang Yu, Jiang Luo, and the others walked shoulder-to-shoulder, laughing heartily as they followed behind Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi.

As they walked, Tang Yu boasted, “Xingchen, I’m not exaggerating—there’s no one in Dongsheng City who doesn’t give me face! Whatever you need to do, with us backing you up this time, the other party won’t dare refuse!”

“That’s right!” Jiang Luo nodded, chuckling. “If they don’t give face, they won’t be able to survive in Dongsheng City, let alone the entire Dongsheng Province.”

The group of young men burst into laughter, all chiming in agreement.

To some extent, they truly had that kind of influence.

Seeing their good intentions, Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi couldn’t bring themselves to reject them and nodded along.

“Which room is it?” Tang Yu asked. “If the room isn’t good enough, I’ll have someone change it for you, Xingchen… The rooms in Yunyan Tower are quite particular!”

Xu Xingchen quickly waved his hands, saying it was already more than good enough!

A moment later, led by Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi, the group finally arrived at their destination.

However, Tang Yu, Jiang Luo, and the others were stunned when they saw the room number in front of them.

Tianzi No. 1!

The most Top banquet hall in the entire Yunyan Tower, located on the top floor, offering a panoramic view of Dongsheng City.

Only a very select few in Dongsheng Province had the privilege of entering it.

“We’re here!” Standing before the door, Xu Xingchen said helplessly.

Tang Yu, Jiang Luo, and the others were dumbfounded, falling into a hushed silence.

After a long pause, Tang Yu finally spoke up, “Um… Xingchen, did we come to the wrong place?”

He wanted to confirm whether Xu Xingchen had led them to the wrong place.

“No!” Xu Xingchen shook his head.

Tang Hongyi also shook her head.

This room had been booked by Wu Tiangong.

“Um… who exactly are you meeting?” Tang Yu suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

“They should be here soon!” Xu Xingchen looked up, gazing down the quiet corridor.

Not long after, several figures appeared at the end of the corridor.

Wu Tiangong, with his white hair, led the way, his expression cold as he turned the corner from the end of the corridor.

“Wu Tiangong?!” When Tang Yu and the others saw Wu Tiangong, it was as if mice had spotted a cat—their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Especially Jiang Luo, whose face instantly turned pale.

Last time, he had nearly been killed by Wu Tiangong. If his father hadn’t arrived in time to save him, he probably wouldn’t be standing here today.

Now, seeing the Demon King, Jiang Luo’s legs trembled uncontrollably.

Tang Yu and the other privileged young men felt as if they had encountered their natural nemesis. In front of Wu Tiangong, they were nothing.

Usually, they avoided him at all costs.

As Wu Tiangong approached and saw the crowd gathered outside Tianzi No. 1, his brows furrowed slightly. A cold glance swept over them, nearly freezing them in place.

If Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi hadn’t been standing nearby, he would have slaughtered them all on the spot.

Tang Yu trembled—this Demon King had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

But what came next was even more terrifying.

At the end of the corridor, five aged figures appeared one after another, each with snow-white hair and an aura of twilight that was difficult to conceal.

They seemed to have little lifespan left!

Tang Yu caught only a fleeting glimpse, yet in the next second, he felt as if he had fallen into an endless hell. He recognized the five Elders.

“The five Elders of the Shadow Hall?!”

Tang Yu’s body went weak, his mouth dried up, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

He glanced at Celestial Room Number One and suddenly understood something…

Not many in the entire Dongsheng Province could enter Celestial Room Number One, but the five Elders of the Shadow Hall were definitely among them.

Coupled with the earlier news of the five Elders of the Shadow Hall arriving together, it was only natural for them to come here.

But at the same time, Tang Yu wore an expression of disbelief!

Xu Xingchen had brought them to Celestial Room Number One and mentioned meeting several guests…

“No way?” Tang Yu groaned, feeling as if his entire body had gone limp, about to collapse to the ground.

Who exactly were these three people, especially Ye Sheng?

How could he possibly make the five Elders come together?

“Get lost!”

Wu Tiangong approached, recognized Tang Yu and the other privileged disciples, and swept a cold glance over them.

Tang Yu and the others hurriedly nodded, as if granted amnesty, and stumbled out in another direction.

“Hey?!” Xu Xingchen reached out, wanting to stop them, but in an instant, Tang Yu and the others had vanished.

…

“Celestial Room Number One? It’s been a long time since I’ve been here! A hundred years, perhaps?”

The Grand Elder, with his gray hair, stood smiling before the door of Celestial Room Number One.

The black-haired young woman, Nie Qian, supported him. “Honored Master, it’s been too long since you last stepped out.”

“Indeed!” the Grand Elder sighed. He was already over four hundred years old, with little lifespan left.

Upon reaching the 6th Revolution Ghost Venerable realm, a cultivator’s lifespan was capped at five hundred years! No one could break free from this limit!

Unless one could break through the realm and step into the 7th Revolution Ghost Emperor!

But how easy was it for a high-tier cultivator to break through a realm?

It wasn’t as simple as just crossing a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation!

The remaining four Elders also watched. If not for the summons from the Hall Master of the Ghost King Hall, they would likely have remained in seclusion until their deaths.

“Little Wu, has the Hall Master arrived?” the Second Elder, with his burly build, asked in a deep voice.

Wu Tiangong hesitated for a moment. “Not yet. The Elders may have to wait a while.”

The Second Elder frowned but quickly relaxed, smiling. “As subordinates, it is only natural for us to wait for the Hall Master. It’s no trouble!”

The Grand Elder laughed heartily. “You old fellow, it seems your decades of seclusion haven’t been in vain!”

“Of course!” the Second Elder replied calmly. “If I don’t cultivate my mind, I’ll soon pass away!”

“Let’s go!”

As the five spoke, they stepped into Celestial Room Number One.

The door closed, and naturally, no one else was qualified to enter.

Wu Tiangong, Xu Xingchen, and the others waited outside, including the black-haired young woman, Nie Qian, who was also unqualified to enter and had to wait.

Ye Sheng arrived, though he was half an hour late, dressed in white robes as he stepped into Celestial Room Number One.

This made the black-haired young woman, Nie Qian, grit her teeth in frustration. How dare he make her Honored Master wait for half an hour? Even the Vice Domain Masters of Dongsheng Province wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi wore worried expressions. The five Old Monsters inside Celestial Room Number One were not easy to deal with, and they wondered if Ye Sheng could handle them.

Wu Tiangong remained calm. He had done all he could, inviting all five Elders of the Shadow Hall. The rest… was up to Ye Sheng, the Hall Master.

…

Time passed!

Two hours felt extremely long, during which the door of Celestial Room Number One remained tightly shut, and no one knew what the few people inside were discussing.

Nie Qian sneered; although she wasn’t clear about the details, she could imagine that the young man in the white robe was not having an easy time.

Wu Tiangong kept his eyes closed the entire time, cradling his silver spear in his arms.

As time ticked by, with Xu Xingchen and Tang Hongyi anxiously waiting, the door to Celestial Room Number One finally opened.

This perked up the spirits of the few people outside, and they all looked up.

Even Wu Tiangong suddenly opened his eyes!
