Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Upon discerning the Spiritual Fluctuation of the Almighty Demon Vine, Wen Yu understood the current situation.

There was a ”minor” discrepancy in the plans arranged by the Almighty Immortal Emperor.

This ”minor” discrepancy was considered small only from the perspective and understanding of beings at the level of the Almighty Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dao. As for Wen Yu, this seemingly insignificant ”small deviation” was enough to easily end his life.

Wen Yu narrowed his eyes. Thoughts spun rapidly in his mind. He followed closely behind the three individuals heading towards a specific direction within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Branch.

The so-called Sky Pole Cabinet was located at the heart of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Branch. The entire building boasted an antique design with luxurious decorations. Despite some damage and battle scars, Wen Yu could tell these marks had been meticulously restored.

To quote the three administrators, the Sky Pole Cabinet was now the most suitable place in the Branch for receiving guests.

This statement was quite meaningful—being the ”most suitable for receiving guests” indicated that Luo Hai hadn’t resorted to any crude tactics, like arranging a dilapidated place for Wen Yu to assert dominance.

However, the word ”guest” alone was enough to reveal Luo Hai’s attitude towards Wen Yu, this ”Young Master.”

Wen Yu merely shrugged. He had a place to stay, and with Tang Haofei as his bodyguard, he would deal with problems as they arose.

Upon arriving at the Sky Pole Cabinet, the three administrators advised Wen Yu that the city was full of traps and he should refrain from wandering aimlessly. After this, they respectfully withdrew.

They didn’t go far. In Wen Yu’s perception, the Spiritual Fluctuations of the three were like blazing flames as they entered the room nearest to him. Ostensibly withdrawing, but actually standing guard. Their antagonistic attitude is perfectly clear!

However, I have no effective solution right now. Apart from Tang Haofei, I have no one else I can rely on, and Tang Haofei’s status as Sequence Number 1 is useless here. So, all I can do is wait.

However, the wait turned out to be considerably long.

Wen Yu arrived at the Sky Pole Cabinet at noon, and it wasn’t until the next day that he finally had his ”audience” with Luo Hai, the overall manager of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Branch’s sixth layer.

A luxurious vehicle, resembling a car from Earth, roared deafeningly as it pulled up like a race car right in front of the Sky Pole Cabinet’s main entrance.

”Lord Luo Hai has arrived!”

A large group of lackeys behind him, like eunuchs attending an Emperor, loudly proclaimed Luo Hai’s name. The volume was so intense it startled Wen Yu, who was in the middle of breakfast.

Glancing at Old Tang, Wen Yu saw he too was visibly taken aback by Luo Hai’s ostentatious display—not intimidated, merely surprised.

This kind of grandstanding is pretty pathetic in our eyes.

Perhaps it’s due to cultural differences between the two worlds. Luo Hai’s current Emperor-like procession just makes him look like a complete hick to Tang Haofei and me. Luxury cars, beautiful women, minions... we could get all that on Earth with just a word! And considering my current status... frankly, who is Luo Hai trying to scare with all this?

However, Luo Hai had no idea what Wen Yu was thinking.

A crowd was gathering outside the Sky Pole Cabinet. Even the three administrators, who had escorted Wen Yu to the Sky Pole Cabinet the previous day, had exited the rooms adjacent to it and respectfully stood before Luo Hai’s vehicle.

”We respectfully welcome Your Lordship!”

The shout from the Level 6 Breakthrough Achievers was deafening; Wen Yu could feel the walls of the Sky Pole Cabinet vibrating.

”So this is a display of dominance, huh?” Old Tang remarked, noticing Wen Yu’s predicament and unable to resist a jeer. ”Wen Yu, it seems your position as Young Master isn’t so grand after all...”

”Knock it off,” Wen Yu retorted. ”I need you to back me up later!”

Truthfully, my mood isn’t great either. Luo Hai’s actions are blatantly aimed at me; his hostility and attitude are undisguised. Although the Almighty Demon Vine told me that people from the Da Luo faction wouldn’t dare openly try to kill me, who knows if there might be another ’small deviation’? If these people outside really go crazy and attack me directly, Tang Haofei is the only one I can rely on!

Outside, Luo Hai’s grand display continued unabated.

The rolling out of a red carpet, the arrival of a follow-up convoy, the fawning shouts of ”We respectfully welcome Your Lordship!”—all of it echoed incessantly in Wen Yu’s ears, thoroughly ruining his appetite.

This whole charade dragged on for nearly half an hour. Only after Wen Yu and Tang Haofei had finished their breakfast did Luo Hai finally appear before them.

However, Luo Hai’s first words made Wen Yu frown.

”Young Master?”

The two simple words were spoken in a questioning tone by a young man who looked to be around twenty. He was strikingly handsome, with a strong, well-proportioned build.

”Mm,” Wen Yu responded with a noncommittal hum, teacup in hand.

Seeing this, Luo Hai didn’t say much more, merely glancing around. Besides Wen Yu and himself, only Tang Haofei and the three administrators were present in the entire Sky Pole Hall.

”I’ve been swamped with affairs these past two days and neglected His Highness the Young Master yesterday. Please forgive me.”

The polite words made Wen Yu frown deeply. Damn it, there’s not a shred of apology in that tone!

However, even greater discourtesy was to follow.

Without waiting for Wen Yu to speak, Luo Hai directly found a chair not far from Wen Yu and sat down, then casually waved at the three administrators.

In the next instant, the three administrators sprang into action.

They retrieved all sorts of fruits, tea, and pastries from their space rings, arranging them neatly before Luo Hai.

The aroma of food instantly filled the Sky Pole Hall. Compared to the dozen or so plates in front of Luo Hai, the scraps of breakfast remaining beside Wen Yu looked even more unsightly.

Watching Luo Hai begin to eat in the Sky Pole Hall as if no one else was present, Wen Yu was so exasperated he almost laughed.

”Quite the ostentatious display, Luo Hai...” Wen Yu remarked.

Hearing Wen Yu, Luo Hai leisurely swallowed the food in his mouth before continuing, ”I skipped breakfast this morning, all to hurry over and see our ’esteemed’ Young Master. Now I’m just replenishing a bit of energy. I trust the Young Master will be magnanimous enough to overlook this.”

With that, Luo Hai picked up another pastry and began to chew on it heartily.

His brazen attitude made one thing perfectly clear: this Luo Hai had absolutely no regard for the so-called ”Young Master”!
