195: May the Heavenly Emperor not be cuckolded.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Emperors in the audience stood up in unison, their Faces filled with shock.

Someone asked the Great Emperor next to them in confusion, "Senior, what is the background of these two? Are they very famous?"

A veteran Great Emperor explained in a heavy voice, "The one who spoke is the Sin Emperor, and the other is the Underworld Emperor."

"The Sin Emperor is a powerful expert under the Dark Heavenly Emperor, said to have already cultivated to the Seventh Heaven Great Emperor Realm."

"The Underworld Emperor is from the Heart Demon Heavenly Emperor's side, and his cultivation has also reached the Sixth Heaven Great Emperor Realm."

The Quasi-Emperor who asked the question gasped, "Seventh Heaven Great Emperor? Then wouldn't that mean..."

"That's right," that Great Emperor nodded. "These two rank among the top ten in terms of strength in the Demon State, and looking at the entire Spirit Realm, they are definitely among the top twenty."

These words caused an uproar throughout the venue.

These were almost the top existences below a Heavenly Emperor!

Lu Chen listened to these discussions and snorted disdainfully.

In his eyes, no matter what Realm a Great Emperor was at, they were no different from ants; he could crush them at will.

On the flying boat, the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor glanced at each other, both seeing a look of pride in the other's eyes.

If it weren't for the mission they were on, such a small matter as leading a team wouldn't have required them to come out in person.

The Sin Emperor's gaze scanned the area below, pausing for a moment on Cao Bu.

This man had been a man of the hour in the Spirit Realm recently, becoming the Vice Clan Leader of the Gu Clan as an Adopted Son, which was truly a rare occurrence.

Suddenly, both of their gazes froze on Lu Chen in the audience at the same time.

Their pupils constricted, and the pride on their Faces instantly vanished, replaced by tension and unease.

Especially the Sin Emperor, who had personally witnessed the scene of Lu Chen slaying a Great Emperor in the Demon State.

At that time, the Dark Heavenly Emperor behind him had intended to take action, but if he hadn't fled quickly, he probably would have lost his life long ago.

"What should we do? Will this Heavenly Emperor Lu ruin our plans?" the Underworld Emperor sent a nervous voice transmission.

The Sin Emperor's brow furrowed. "Probably not."

"I've investigated; Heavenly Emperor Lu generally only takes action against those who have offended him."

"As long as we don't provoke him, out of respect for the two Heavenly Emperors behind us, he shouldn't interfere."

The Underworld Emperor was still uneasy. "But he is a member of the Righteous Path Alliance after all. What if he attacks us under the pretext of eliminating demons and defending the Dao?"

The Sin Emperor took a deep breath. "If it really comes to that, we can only flee."

"But what about the mission the two Heavenly Emperors assigned? The Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor offered two High Grade Emperor Weapons to hire us," the Underworld Emperor said anxiously. "If we succeed, the Heavenly Emperor might even reward us with those two Emperor Weapons."

The Sin Emperor said solemnly, "For now, we can only take it one step at a time."

The Underworld Emperor sighed helplessly. "That's all we can do. However, I haven't heard of Heavenly Emperor Lu having any friendship with the Gu Clan, so he shouldn't interfere in this matter."

"Stop talking, Heavenly Emperor Lu is looking at us. Let's go greet him first," the Sin Emperor nudged him quietly.

The Underworld Emperor understood, and the two of them quickly led the ten Prodigies behind them to land on the Gu Clan's plaza.

After putting away the flying boat, they immediately bowed to Lu Chen. "Greetings, Lord Heavenly Emperor!"

At this, everyone's gaze focused on Lu Chen.

They had almost forgotten that a Heavenly Emperor was sitting right there!

This was also because Lu Chen was too low-key, so low-key that people almost ignored his existence.

Lu Chen straightened his back, feeling secretly pleased.

He cast a subtle glance at Qin Bingyao beside him, snorting in his heart: I'll let you know that you followed the wrong man! How dare you fool around with Cao Bu behind my back.

Every time he thought about Qin Bingyao disappearing during the breaks in the competition, he was fuming with rage.

After all, on paper, they were still husband and wife, which made him feel like he was being green-hatted every time he saw Cao Bu.

Today, he was going to show Qin Bingyao what the majesty of a Heavenly Emperor looked like!

He gave the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor a cold glance and then ignored them.

What level are they, thinking they're worthy of greeting me? Do they think they're Pulse Opening Realm Cultivators?

Mere Great Emperors, how laughable.

Seeing this, the audience sighed in admiration. "As expected of Heavenly Emperor Lu, he doesn't even give Face to these two. Truly admirable!"

"Heavenly Emperor Lu treats people with kindness and is very approachable. I, Hu Hansan, wish that Heavenly Emperor Lu will never be greened!"

"Well said! Me too!"

Hearing these discussions, Lu Chen's Face turned shades of blue and white.

He really wanted to slap these two talkative fellows to death.

When the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor saw the change in Lu Chen's expression, they thought he was angry with them.

The two looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other's eyes.

The Sin Emperor hesitated for a moment and quickly took out a ring from his storage ring. "Heavenly Emperor Lu, this is a specialty of the Demon State, the yin yang jade. It can nourish Yin and supplement Yang, preventing Qi Deviation. Although it's not a precious treasure, it is indeed very practical. Please accept it."

The Underworld Emperor also hurriedly took out a storage ring. "Heavenly Emperor Lu, I have ten thousand of them here. Please accept them."

This yin yang jade was indeed a treasure for demonic Cultivators, helping them control the murderous intent in their hearts.

Unfortunately, since the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor achieved Great Emperor status, yin yang jade in the Demon State had become increasingly scarce.

After the Yin Yang Sect was destroyed, the yin yang jade mine stopped operations.

Although no one dared to occupy it, it was said that the yin yang jade inside had been mostly consumed by the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor.

And the yin yang jade mine deserved at least half the credit for the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor's ability to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

Lu Chen glanced at the storage rings in their hands, hesitating whether to accept them.

A familiar voice came from beside him. "Second Brother, this is the sincere intention of the two Great Emperors. How can you hesitate?"

As soon as these words came out, both the Underworld Emperor and the Sin Emperor looked over.

When they realized it was Cao Bu, their expressions immediately darkened.

But looking at Lu Chen, he actually didn't refute it?

Was this Heavenly Emperor Lu really Cao Bu's Second Brother?

But how come they hadn't heard of it?

The news of Lu Chen being Cao Bu's Second Brother had only spread recently, and the two had rushed over with the Demon State Prodigies as soon as they came out of seclusion, so they had no time to learn about this.

Hearing this, Lu Chen remembered that Cao Bu's cultivation required treasures containing Yin and Yang Qi.

He no longer hesitated and gave a signal to the guard beside him.

"Since Big Brother has spoken, then this Emperor will reluctantly accept your kind intentions."

The guard stepped forward, took the two storage rings, and handed them to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen put them away without a word.

Seeing this, the Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor did not breathe a sigh of relief; instead, their hearts felt even heavier.

"May I ask the two Great Emperors, where did these yin yang jade come from?" Cao Bu asked with a smile.

If he could find more yin yang jade, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation.

The Sin Emperor and the Underworld Emperor exchanged a glance and decided not to tell the truth.

After all, Cao Bu was the Vice Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, and the Gu Clan had a feud with the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor.

The Sin Emperor said, "There is indeed a yin yang jade mine in the Demon State, but it has already been completely mined."

"These yin yang jade are what I've accumulated over the years."

"If Clan Leader Cao needs more, you can send someone to the Demon State to buy them; there should still be some circulating on the market."

Cao Bu smiled and cupped his hands. "Thank you for informing me, Great Emperors."

Although he wasn't sure how much truth there was in their words, he would know after sending someone to investigate once the Heavenly Pride Battle was over.

At this moment, the Sin Emperor suddenly asked, "Clan Leader Cao, the Underworld Emperor and I have both arrived. Why are the three Mistresses of the Gu Clan not present? Is it possible that with our status, we are not qualified to see them?"

Just as Cao Bu was about to find an excuse to stall, two waves of fragrant breeze suddenly came from behind him.

Leng Yue's voice came from the left. "Pardon us for the lack of a proper welcome upon your arrival."

Leng Yue and Su Li walked to Cao Bu's side, looking at the two Great Emperors with solemn expressions.

According to their understanding of the Demon State's forces, the Demon State was mainly divided into three major camps, each belonging to one of the three Heavenly Emperors.

In the Yin Yang Sect, except for the escaped Blood Emperor and Desire Emperor, and the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor trapped in the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss, everyone else had perished.

The other two camps were the Dark Imperial Court and the Heart Demon Imperial Sect, and the two before them were from these two organizations.

Although their relationship with the Yin Yang Sect was average, the fact that the Demon State had sent such powerful Great Emperors to lead the team this time forced them to be on their guard.

In the past, the leaders from the Demon State were at most First or Second Heaven Great Emperors, and the competition venue was not here.

These two coming here of their own accord must surely have an ulterior motive.
