They had responded without hesitation at all.

Wu Yu bit his tongue. Hell was hell after all. One wrong word, and the swords were out. It was all too common.

These two ghostly immortals were at the Immortal Lord Realm. One was a 4-realm ghostly immortal, and the other, the one that came to attack Wu Yu, was a 5-realm ghostly immortal.

They had no urgent business, and he casually held the male ghostly immortal at bay, allowing Ye Xixi to try her hand at the female ghostly immortal. After all, she had not been in an actual battle in a while now.

He only had to use a fraction of his autonomous realm power to stay evenly matched with the male ghostly immortal.

When the fight broke out in the shop, people still passed by outside, but they spared no more than a glance before continuing on their way. This was the difference from the sky palaces.

In the sky palaces, fighting in the cities would bring the city guards down in a hurry, and many immortals would definitely be gathered to watch.

But in the ghostly immortal cities, such skirmishes were all too common.

Wu Yu had given Ye Xixi some destinable immortal treasures, which she had practiced with. Her fighting style had similarities to Wu Yu’s, also depending on physical advantages. At the same time, she had the advantage in terms of autonomous realm power quality, as well as her Heaven Dao Mystiques!

Therefore, as a 1-realm immortal lord, she could fight her opponent to a standstill!

"You're really trying to kill me?" Ye Xixi discovered that her opponent was going for fatal attacks, mercilessly seeking Ye Xixi's life!

"Why the hell would I even bother fighting you if I wasn’t going to kill you? And now... your head!"

She sneered contemptuously. She was surprised that Ye Xixi was only just starting to get into it. She felt that she had had many opportunities to kill Ye Xixi before this, although she had not capitalized on them.

In truth, Ye Xixi had had even more opportunities to kill her off, but she had thought to just suppress her opponent. But her mercy almost cost her her own life. Seeing this demented opponent deploy her entire wicked arsenal against her, Ye Xixi's ire was roused. She answered with her own mystiques, and finally killed off the female ghostly immortal, who died with an expression of shock still on her face!

However, Ye Xixi was struck by the gravity of her actions. After killing her, she was stunned, unsure of what to do with herself.

As for Wu Yu's opponent, he did not care about revenge. Seeing the female ghostly immortal fall, he immediately turned to flee, vanishing in a flash.

"Big Brother Yu, was I too savage? Am I a wanton killer?" She was shaken.

"Don't worry about it. This is the 10,000 Levels of Hell. It is what it is. If you didn't kill her, would you have laid down and died because she didn't like what you said?"

Wu Yu was very direct about it. He used the Floating Dreams Sword to tear down the immortal designs of the shop and then handed the Nine Beads of the Dark Star to Ye Xixi.

Wu Yu had seen the world of the ghostly cultivators before. A hellish darkness, devoid of mercy. The merciful ones were all dead.

Before they left, Wu Yu conveniently devoured the female ghostly immortal.

The main reason was that he wanted to get to know the Astral Hell better. With the memories of the two ghostly immortals, he was more or less familiar with the Astral Hell, as if he were a ghostly immortal who had lived here for hundreds of thousands of years.

Sorting through the memories, Wu Yu noticed something strange.

"It's said that the Chakravarti-raja Star is showing signs of crumbling. An entire line of stars are falling apart, and the Chakravarti Ghostly King is preparing to look for a new territory to replace the Chakravarti-raja Star." The female ghostly immortal was confident about this.

"Crumble?" Ye Xixi repeated.

"Probably something wrong in the star. On the surface, probably the ground will crumble and quake, volcanoes will explode, and floods will come. Apocalypse-like," Wu Yu said.

"Where is the Chakravarti-raja Star in the Astral Hell?"

"The strongest expert in the Astral Hell is the Chakravarti Ghostly King. He is a powerful presence here, and those who live on the Chakravarti-raja Star are also part of this strongest force. They are the core of the Astral Hell. This change to the Chakravarti-raja Star is not good news for the Chakravarti Ghostly King and his subordinates. And this matter has only just started a month ago, so not many people know about it."

Ye Xixi thought this over. "Will the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King be there? After all, the number of experts is highest there. If there is a trial, it should be held at the most difficult place, where the danger is highest."

Wu Yu looked a little further beyond that. "It's reasonable, and possible. But perhaps it is too obvious, and the Jade Emperor set the stage as somewhere else? The 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King cannot possibly be that easy a mark."

"Then should we even go to the Chakravarti-raja Star?"

Wu Yu smiled. "We go, of course. We have to go and see for ourselves, and find clues. After all, the 10th-grade Mark of an Immortal King has the potential to raise one to the eternal immortal emperor tier. If I become an eternal immortal emperor in the future, what place in the sky palaces would be closed to me? In the vastness of the sky palaces, I would be someone of importance."

"Me too. I want to become an eternal immortal emperor too."

"The way the ghostly cultivator defines it, those who reach eternal life are called devils. Then you will be an eternal devil emperor."

"Pooh. I want to be a pretty fairy, not a smelly demon. I am a pure and adorable little fairy." Ye Xixi frowned.

They talked and laughed as they traveled, flying through the skies towards the Chakravarti-raja Star.

When they left the dark star, Wu Yu sensed a threat. He immediately pulled Ye Xixi back into the Floating Dreams Pagoda and transformed himself into the guise of the Chifeng Immortal Lord, because he knew who it was that was on his tail. It was none other than the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, and a dozen more Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe members, who had found him.

"The Howling Celestial Dog can even hold my scent like that. Even after transforming into a ghostly immortal, it can still track me. Unbelievable!" This troubled Wu Yu. His Replicate ability had fooled many people, but only the Howling Celestial Dog would recognize him. If he returned to the sky palaces, his identity as Wu Yu might even be uncovered by this Howling Celestial Dog.

Last time, he had changed into a ghostly immortal for but a moment. That was why the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the others had assumed it was a simple illusion, and still saw him as the Chifeng Immortal Lord.

"Chifeng Immortal Lord!"

The Gu Huo Immortal Lord caught up to him. Without a word, he immediately attacked, his eyes alight with barely suppressed rage.

"If I want to sever the link between the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and myself, I'm afraid I'll have to kill the Howling Celestial Dog!" This would be very helpful to Wu Yu after leaving the Great Void Immortal Path as well.

As the Gu Huo Immortal Lord rushed him with the Greater Darkness Heaven, Wu Yu did two things. Firstly, he hollered, "There are a dozen immortals from the sky palaces here! They're loaded with treasures!"

His voice rang out across the Dreary Star. The Gu Huo Immortal Lord, who was all too obvious a target, attracted many experts over.

The second thing he did was immediately dodge. The Gu Huo Immortal Lord was very strong, and Wu Yu backed away at full tilt. He used Fulgurating Shadows to flit from side to side, ensuring he stayed far beyond the Gu Huo Immortal Lord's reach. He had taken a hit last time, and Wu Yu would not fall for the same trick again. Besides, he was backing away in the direction of the Dreary Star!

"Despicable, conniving rogue!" the Gu Huo Immortal Lord roared as loud as a booming bell.

Wu Yu had locked on to the Howling Celestial Dog in the distance. As he continued to back away, he started to draw the Gu Huo Immortal Lord away from the Howling Celestial Dog. Before the other dozen Primeval Mighty Miracle God Tribe members caught up, Wu Yu seized the moment. He backed until the Dreary Star, then leaped forward. This time, he emerged from the void beside the Howling Celestial Dog!

"Time Warp Immortal Design!" With such a hard-won chance to get rid of the pestersome Howling Celestial Dog before him, Wu Yu would not let it slip by. He immediately used the Time Warp Immortal Design to trap the little, black hound and then attacked it with his Floating Dreams Sword. This Howling Celestial Dog was still young; it was excellent at sniffing things, but average in all else. Wu Yu's Blink Slayer Design was quick and decisive. The keen edge of the Floating Dreams Sword flashed!

"Awooh!" The Howling Celestial Dog gave a mournful howl. It could not dodge in time, and Wu Yu cleaved it into two!

"And done!" Wu Yu no longer needed to worry that the Gu Huo Immortal Lord could track him down with the Howling Celestial Dog. Otherwise, even if he left the Great Void Immortal Path and turned into Wu Yu, the Howling Celestial Dog could still track him down. That would be troublesome. Now the Gu Huo Immortal Lord and the others would be oblivious to his identity as Wu Yu.

Howling Celestial Dog, dead!

This was the puppy of True Lord Erlang's own Howling Celestial Dog, which he had personally bestowed to the Gu Huo Immortal Lord.

However, Wu Yu was here to protect his own life, and could not care so much. He had always had a healthy disregard for the law, and could not be bothered with this.

After doing the deed, he left quickly, because he could foresee that this would be even more triggering for the Gu Huo Immortal Lord than the killing of the Gu Di Immortal Lord....

All the other immortal lords saw the Howling Celestial Dog die, but they did not arrive in time to stop it.

Hearing the howl, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord whirled back, and he crumbled with despair!

"Chifeng Immortal Lord, from today onwards, I will not share the same world as you!" This vow went beyond an ordinary grudge. It was a grudge of blood and hatred, an irreconcilable grudge!

Wu Yu ignored him. After all, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord was holding a grudge against the Chifeng Immortal Lord, not Wu Yu. He knew that he might have to use the Floating Dreams Sword and Floating Dreams Pagoda less in the future, especially when he was in the identity of Wu Yu.

Let the Gu Huo Immortal Lord look for the Chifeng Immortal Lord after they left!

He vanished from the Gu Huo Immortal Lord's anguished howls. His goal was the Chakravarti-raja Star. As for the enraged Gu Huo Immortal Lord, he still had to deal with the ghostly immortals swarming over him.

As for Wu Yu, the real focus was back on Nangong Wei.

He took a quick check. Nangong Wei's awareness was creeping ever closer to the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord's. If all went well, the two would be equal in another 10 years. At that time, if she continued growing stronger, she could finally overthrow her!
