"That...is Master Tu Qin?"
When the first person raised the question, the entire venue and even parts of the Demon Realm seemed swept by a plague, turning into a sea of voices.
"It's him!"
"It's Master Tu Qin!"
For some inexplicable reason, the Chaos group competition on the other side hardly drew any attention.
The reason is simple: this Master Tu Qin is a Tier Nine Immortal Artifact Master!
In the Upper Immortal Realm, Tier Nine Immortal Artifact Masters are as rare as phoenix feathers.
Currently known in the entire Demon Realm, there are only four.
Three of them belong to the Nine-Star Demon Hall Senluo Blood Hall and such Holy Hall Demon Sects; the only free one is this Master Tu Qin.
Are there any other hidden Tier Nine Immortal Artifact Masters?
The probability is nearly zero.
Immortal Artifact Masters are destined to interact with countless top-notch rare materials, so even if they had great talent, there would be no materials to practice with if they chose seclusion.
Tier Nine Immortal Artifact Masters are too precious themselves, and their status in the Demon Realm surpasses even that of the Demon Emperor.
Although Master Tu Qin doesn't belong to the Holy Hall, the always overbearing Holy Hall has shown him great respect and dared not offend him in the slightest.
And this time, just as he appeared, the three Demon Emperors, Taie, You Xue, and Golden Essence, immediately floated down to greet him personally.
"Master Tu Qin, you've arrived?"
"Welcome, welcome, the Holy Hall has long looked forward to your arrival!"
"Hahaha, your presence is an honor for this Evangelical Assembly!"
"After the competition, please be sure to visit our Nine-Star Demon Hall as a guest, my senior brother has been waiting for you for years..."
Yet Master Tu Qin merely glanced at the three, not even bothering to respond with a single word.
He simply entered the competition space directly.
The three top Demon Emperors were not upset at all; instead, they found it quite normal.
Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters indeed hold such high status.
Master Tu Qin's appearance made the Artifact Refining Group the focus of all attention.
And immediately thereafter, Cai Ying's appearance completely overshadowed all other groups combined.
When she flew off the Black Jade Platform and, with her registration mark, smoothly entered the competition space of the Artifact Refining Group, the entire venue fell silent.
Immediately, an even more turbulent wave of voices surged forth.
"How did she get in?"
"Isn't she from the Chaos Group?"
"A person can indeed register for two groups…"
"But she…is only a Celestial Immortal!"
Whether it was the Demon King Quasi-Emperors inside the venue or the demon cultivators across the Demon Realm outside, everyone was utterly bewildered.
"It turns out she's an Immortal Artifact Master?"
"Even if she is, her artifact refining skills can't be that high, considering her realm."
"That's right, if she were truly a Sixth-grade or higher Immortal Artifact Master, she'd already be famous."
"This is utterly absurd, what is this Celestial Immortal trying to do?"
To be honest, Cai Ying's entry into the competition space of the Artifact Refining Group caused an even bigger sensation than Master Tu Qin's appearance.
After all, she had already created a stir throughout the Demon Realm earlier in the Chaos Group.
She had long been the focus of countless people's attention, with every move being watched.
Even the three Demon Emperors couldn't help but twitch their mouths slightly.
What is going on with this Evangelical Assembly?
This originally high-end, prestigious event is constantly being upstaged by an insignificant insect so far, what kind of situation is this?
Who let this Celestial Immortal in?
Everyone unconsciously looked towards Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor.
Faced with the stern gazes of several Demon Emperors, he could only cover his face with his hands, bowing his head deeply.
This assembly was almost turned into a farce by Cai Ying.
And it was he who selected this Celestial Immortal and even used her as a model, extensively promoting her in the Linming War Zone.
Many might even think she's his confidant.
Some might suspect he's behind all this.
Lie Yu Quasi-Emperor now didn't want to say anything or ask anything.
He had just one wish: to rewind time and transmigrate back.
Back to the moment he first met this Celestial Immortal at the Black Lake Sect, and he would have choked her immediately!
Or even returning to the day she registered for the Artifact Refining Group, he would have surely stopped her from provoking Master Qi Kui and then 'choked her again.'
Upon seeing a Celestial Immortal enter the competition space of the Artifact Refining Group, the other Immortal Artifact Masters furrowed their brows in unison.
"What is this?"
"How did she sneak in?"
"This is simply an insult to the Artifact Refining Group!"
"Competing alongside her lowers our status out of nowhere."
"What is the Holy Hall up to, letting any riffraff in, it's ridiculous!"
"The rules for registering for the Artifact Refining Group need revision, merely refining a Tier One Immortal Artifact proves nothing."
"Indeed, I propose that no one below a Sixth-grade Immortal Artifact Master should be allowed to register next time."
Listening to these Immortal Artifact Masters criticize the tournament rules without reserve and belittle the Holy Hall, the esteemed members of the Holy Hall felt a bit embarrassed.
If it were anyone else, they would have been severely reprimanded or even punished by now.
But then again, the status of an Immortal Artifact Master is too special, and even the three Demon Emperors could only pretend not to hear it.
Cai Ying certainly wouldn't pretend not to hear.
The Little Sparrow Demon slowly turned her head, casting a contemptuous glance at the Immortal Artifact Masters nearby.
Then she disdainfully uttered a phrase.
"A bunch of bugs."
Her expression was as aloof as can be, as if she were the Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master and the others mere apprentices who'd just entered the door.
The Immortal Artifact Masters present, upon hearing such a remark, couldn't even muster up anger.
Only found it laughably absurd.
"Hahaha, truly ignorance is bliss!"
"So young, yet such grandiose words!"
"Just a fool."
"What right do you have to stand here and dare to speak so arrogantly?"
"Utterly oblivious to the world's expanse!"
The demon cultivators outside similarly burst into laughter.
"Pfft, where does her confidence come from?"
"Was this Celestial Immortal specifically arranged to entertain us?"
"Please, cease your divine techniques..."
"She dares to speak to the masters like this, has no one taught her proper conduct?"
"Exactly, being so disrespectful to the seniors of the Artifact Refining Realm, she deserves ten thousand deaths!"
All these varied criticisms would have previously left Cai Ying panic-stricken and disoriented.
But now, she merely appeared indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything.
As if all these people were just buzzing flies, not something she would even concern herself with.
She only secretly transmitted a message to Brother Cheng: "Demon Lord, will you possess me next?"
"Of course."
The artifact refining competition involves decomposition steps, making it impossible to use the System Refining Art to directly swipe through.
"Once the Evangelical Assembly ends, could the Demon Lord showcase divine power and eliminate all these bugs in the Artifact Refining Group?"
Brother Cheng was taken aback and then cursed.
"Do you have a screw loose?"
This Sparrow Demon's change is too extreme, calling everyone a bug and wanting them dead?
The Artifact Refining Group is about refining, not combat.
Aside from someone like Master Qi Kui who seeks his own demise, Brother Cheng would only use artifact refining methods against other refiners, not intending any violent post-contest reprisals.
He's not that unconscientious in his actions.
