"Business?"
The Earth Profound Realm leader gave them a once-over and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I advise you to give up. Nowadays, our Four Great Profound Races only have interactions with the Assembly of Immortals and the Star Pavilion."
"We are not familiar with your Celestial Pavilion, we don't know your roots, and we can't trust you."
"The Silver Wisdom Hall Master is unlikely to have time to meet you amidst his busy schedule."
Historically, there have been Shadow Race and Otherworldly Evil Demons, and the Xuan Race has been on high alert because of it.
It's hard for them to trust people from the outside world anymore.
The Assembly of Immortals and the Star Pavilion gained a bit of trust only after the Great Derivation Immortal Emperor and other Returning Immortals vouched for them, along with millions of years of examination.
In fact, the Great Derivation Immortal Emperor and others had their reputation mainly because they'd met Sage Jiang twice without being killed.
The high levels of the Four Great Profound Races misunderstood, thinking Sage Jiang had a bit of favor for these people.
Thus, they were willing to do them a favor by association.
Even so, their interactions with the Immortal and Demon Realms are not frequent and are limited to a very small domain.
As for the Celestial Pavilion without acquaintances to vouch for them, although they've obtained permission to enter the realm, they've yet to make a single transaction with the Xuan Race.
"Ha, it didn't work in the past, doesn't mean it won't work now, you always have to try more," Mo Feng said with a bitter smile, spreading his hands.
Seeing how determined they were to hit a wall, the few Earth Profound Realm members couldn't be bothered to advise them anymore.
After that, two Earth Profound Realm members led the way.
The group flew a bit and then stepped onto the Transmission Array.
The entire journey, the group from the Celestial Pavilion was watched closely, traveling a fixed route.
There was simply no opportunity for them to wander around.
Thus, five days later, everyone finally arrived at an outer courtyard outside the Divine Hall.
The Immortals brought over from the Immortal Realm, once entering the Profound Realm, unless having special permission, can only act within this outer courtyard.
This is to prevent them from spying on the Xuan Race's intelligence.
In the past million years, there have been no Immortals who entered without permission, hoping to use the Soul Gathering Pool to become 'Returning Immortals', and all were wiped out by the Xuan Race without exception.
Although the outer courtyard is large, resembling a city.
It still gives a feeling of being confined.
But there's no way around it; they came to do business and must follow local customs.
"When does the Silver Wisdom Hall Master have time to meet us?"
The Silver Profound Race member responsible for reception curled his lips upon hearing this.
"The Hall Master is not someone you can meet just because you want to; just wait patiently!"
Having said this, he left without pause.
Miao Yu and Jiang Han exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of helplessness in the other's eyes.
There's no other way; this is the standard treatment whenever they come to the Profound Realm for cooperation talks.
"Since we are here, we might as well settle in and wait,"
Miao Yu was rather good at putting herself in a lower position.
Jiang Han followed her into the residence within the outer courtyard and curiously asked, "Why didn't you mention Sect Leader Jiang's name earlier?"
Mo Feng also nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, maybe mentioning his name would make their attitude warmer?"
Miao Yu turned back with an amused expression.
"Even if he knows Silver Wisdom, that doesn't mean other lower-level members of the Silver Profound Race would know him, right?"
"Even if his name is to be mentioned, it should be to Silver Wisdom, it won't have any effect on others."
"So that's how it is!"
Jiang Han Immortal Emperor realized, "The Hall Master is indeed wise."
Thus, again they waited patiently for three days.
They still didn't get a meeting with the Silver Profound Race high level.
This day, a few of them were bored, admiring the scenery in the edge courtyard, when a light laugh suddenly came from nearby.
"Well, isn't this the Celestial Pavilion?"
Following the voice, they saw a few familiar figures emerging from another distant courtyard.
"Blood Sun Demon Emperor!"
"It's you?"
Miao Yu and Jiang Han, among others, simultaneously furrowed their brows.
The Blood Sun Demon Emperor hails from the Demon Realm's Senluo Blood Hall, a proper core member of the Holy Hall.
A million years ago, the Demon Realm established the Holy Star Pavilion Commerce Association, and a batch of Demon Emperors were assigned to the association.
The Blood Sun Demon Emperor became a Vice Chairman of the Holy Star Pavilion.
Unlike the temporarily visiting Celestial Pavilion, they already have permanent permission to reside in the Profound Realm, and are responsible for the Holy Star Pavilion's business here year-round.
The two are veritable competitors, especially since the Celestial Pavilion was heavily hit by both the Immortal and Demon Realms not long ago, so there's deep-seated hatred.
"Oh, Chairman Miao has come back to life, congratulations!"
The Blood Sun Demon Emperor's words were congratulatory, but his tone was dripping with sarcasm.
"You just came back to life and are busy running to the Profound Realm to grab business, your body shouldn't be overworked, lest it triggers old wounds after being rejected, what would you do then?"
The words were laced with provocation, and several Quasi-Emperors on the other side laughed out loud.
Mo Feng Quasi-Emperor said coldly, "Blood Sun, how dare you mention this? Wasn't this all because of your Holy Hall's despicable actions, this blood debt you owe?"
The face of the Blood Sun Demon Emperor darkened, "When the Emperor Realm speaks, there's no place for you to interject. Who do you think you are? Not to mention you, even Miao Yu now isn't qualified to be on equal footing with me..."
"What did you say!"
Mo Feng and Jiang Han among others grew furious, about to charge forward, but Miao Yu stopped them.
She also discreetly sent a voice transmission as a reminder.
"He's deliberately provoking us to make us act rashly; don't forget this is near the Divine Hall of the Xuan Race."
Jiang Han and Mo Feng's faces tightened.
Indeed, fighting near the Xuan Race's Divine Hall would strongly displease the other side.
The Celestial Pavilion is already not well trusted by them, and if there's a fight now, it will definitely leave a very bad impression on the Xuan Race.
The likelihood of future cooperation would almost be severed.
"Enough, Blood Sun. We from the Celestial Pavilion will walk our road, and you walk your bridge. Our matters require no concern from you!"
Seeing that Miao Yu was neither upset nor angry, remaining calm, and didn't get provoked, the Blood Sun couldn't help but feel regretful.
The Xuan Race may not know what the Celestial Pavilion signifies, but he knows very well.
Before this raid on the Celestial Pavilion by the Immortal Alliance Saint Hall, this commerce association had always been overshadowing both the Holy Star Pavilion and the Assembly of Immortals, even with many Immortal and Demon Emperors backing them up.
They certainly don't want the Celestial Pavilion to connect with the Xuan Race.
They'd disrupt it if they could.
It's essential to take this opportunity to completely take down the Celestial Pavilion.
"I advise you to abandon this idea."
"The Xuan Race has already accepted the Immortal and Demon Realms, and there's no room for a third party's involvement!"
Miao Yu said lightly, "Whether there's room or not, it's not up to you to decide."
"Humph, then let's wait and see!"
Back in his room, the Blood Sun Demon Emperor immediately gathered all his subordinates.
"The Celestial Pavilion is clearly here to share a slice of the pie; in previous instances, only Jiang Han and Long Lin came for talks, but this time Miao Yu has personally taken action, we must be cautious!"
A Quasi-Emperor of the Holy Star Pavilion dismissively said, "What about Miao Yu, she's just a Quasi-Emperor now."
"Fool!"
Having just downplayed Miao Yu to her face outside, the Blood Sun Demon Emperor now exhibited an expression of apprehension.
"Back then, this woman could single-handedly establish the Celestial Pavilion; do you think her capabilities can be compared to Long Lin and Jiang Han?"
