Upon seeing that Celestial Immortal effortlessly integrating those Tier Seven, Tier Eight, and even Tier Nine inscription arrays, everyone present was dumbstruck.

Although those inscription arrays weren't real, just illusions, they retained the properties of true inscriptions.

How did a Celestial Immortal recognize these high-tier inscription arrays?

How did she know how to integrate them and perfectly match them?

The answer seemed evident—this was a true Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master!

Only then could she possess such insight.

Upon reaching this conclusion, those Demon Emperors who appeared later couldn't maintain their composure.

"This woman is definitely a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master!"

"Even though she's just a Celestial Immortal, and it's absurd, but it's the truth!"

"Recruit her, we must bring her into the Holy Hall at all costs!"

"No, we must recruit her into our sect!"

As time passed, other Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact Masters were gradually cleared from the field.

Left alone in the competition space, there was only Cai Ying.

Brother Cheng, ever the master of making an impression, naturally held out until the end once more, setting an unbreakable record again.

And when this round ended, he officially became the first in the Artifact Refining Group of the Evangelical Assembly.

According to the rules of the Evangelical Assembly, each round's different rankings have different point values, and a total must be calculated at the end.

But now, with these results, was there any need to calculate?

All four rounds had him in first place, leaving no suspense.

The entire Demon Realm was in an uproar.

"A Celestial Immortal actually became the first Artifact Refining Master of the Evangelical Assembly!"

Countless witnessed Cai Ying returning outside, witnessing the birth of this unprecedented first-place Artifact Refining Group master.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm next door, countless others were witnessing this as well.

No wonder, Cai Ying's name was too renowned now.

When she finally returned outside, everyone swarmed around her.

First among them were a crowd of Demon Emperors.

"Master Cai Ying, congratulations on winning first place in the Artifact Refining Group!"

"Master Cai Ying, would you consider visiting our Nine-Star Demon Hall?"

"Our Senluo Blood Hall has long cleaned the mountain gate, waiting for Master Cai Ying's honorable visit!"

Hearing the term "master," Brother Cheng nearly laughed inside the sword scabbard.

If only they knew that this woman in front of them was just a Little Celestial Immortal of the Sparrow Race, entirely ignorant of artifact refining, what would they think?

"In this current fight between us and the demon of the Demon Realm, the appearance of Master Cai Ying is truly heaven's will!"

"Indeed, heaven wants to destroy the Demon Realm, and so sent down Master Cai Ying!"

"Help our Demon Realm prosper, so we may one day flatten the Demon Realm!"

The Quasi-Emperors of the Holy Hall raised their arms and shouted.

"Flatten the Demon Realm!"

For a time, the crowd was passionate and enthusiastic.

Only, the person in question, Cai Ying, had no response at all.

She remained indifferent, not giving these people so much as a glance.

With the Artifact Refining Group's competition over, the first thing she did was collect her prize.

The reward for being the first in the Artifact Refining Group was extremely generous.

Brother Cheng examined it briefly; the pile of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures could make at least ten Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts.

If exchanged through the system, how much merit would that cost?

This trip was truly a huge gain.

After claiming the prize, the crowd of Demon Emperors closed in again.

Each eagerly sought favor, hoping to recruit her.

Under Brother Cheng's guidance, Cai Ying spoke once again.

"I'm in a bad mood."

When she said this, her gaze swept past the Taie Dark Blood Gold Essence three Demon Emperors.

Everyone understood this was dissatisfaction with previous treatment.

After all, these three Demon Emperors had once turned hostile, threatening her, and later sided with Tu Qin.

It was like facing enemies.

The other dozen Demon Emperors quickly sent messages, blaming the likes of Taie Demon Emperor.

What to do now?

They had offended her, and this Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master clearly rejected our Holy Hall.

Why not try to remedy it?

The three Demon Emperors were immensely vexed.

Lower themselves, as Emperor Realm, to apologize to a Celestial Immortal?

How could she deserve it?

Yet considering her status as a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, maybe she did deserve it.

Thus, at last, the three Demon Emperors stepped forward simultaneously.

They bowed towards Cai Ying.

"Master Cai Ying, we were wrong before, and we apologize to you."

"We were blind before, we offended you, it's truly a grave mistake!"

"We hope you can forgive us, and not hold a grudge against us..."

Cai Ying darted a glance at the three.

Only then, did she uncommittedly say, "Whether I forgive depends on your future behavior."

The trio felt simultaneous rage in their hearts.

Damn it, the Emperor Realm bowing to a Celestial Immortal, and you're still so haughty, seeking death?

Yet thinking of the importance of a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master, they could only suppress their anger and smile along.

All the watching demon cultivators were utterly shocked.

A dignified Emperor Realm lowering their head, what kind of prestige is this?

For a Celestial Immortal to reach such a level, it was truly a brand-new height!

Honestly, Brother Cheng himself hadn't experienced such status.

Despite being stronger, encountering him, these Demon Emperors would surely either fight or flee, never lower their heads to apologize.

This brother couldn't help but sigh: "Your status really is useful."

"Alright, next up is that so-called Master Tu Qin."

Upon hearing his message, Cai Ying looked directly at Tu Qin not far away without hesitation.

"I won first place in the last two rounds as well. Shouldn't you be doing something?"

These words evoked varied expressions from the crowd.

Many demon cultivators showed schadenfreude in their eyes.

According to the previous agreement, if Cai Ying won the last two rounds, Master Tu Qin should kowtow and apologize.

Those were his own words.

The time for fulfillment had arrived.

"You're dreaming, with just you, this junior..."

Tu Qin's expression was extremely grim; Cai Ying had stolen all his attention today.

Now he hated this Celestial Immortal the most, wanting to grind her to dust, how could he possibly apologize by kowtowing?

Moreover, he was a real Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master.

Wherever he went, others revered him, and he was long accustomed to arrogance.

"Are you going back on your word?" Cai Ying asked, half-smiling.

"Word or not, I have no idea what you're talking about, get lost!"

With that, he tried to push through the crowd to exit.

Cai Ying glanced at the group of Demon Emperors, with open mockery in her eyes.

"Earlier, when I made a bet with him, you rushed to say that if I failed, I'd be handed over to Tu Qin to deal with at his discretion!"

"Now he's denying it, so what will you do?"

The Taie and You Xue Gold Essence three Demon Emperors wished they could slap themselves on the spot.

Back then, they thought Cai Ying was just a young prodigy, believing Tu Qin as a Ninth-grade Master was more important.

Naturally, they rushed to curry favor with the master, ignoring Cai Ying's feelings completely.

Now...

If they let Tu Qin leave, they'd not only offend Cai Ying but also destroy the Holy Hall's reputation.

After all, countless in the Demon Realm witnessed the wager, seeing the Holy Hall's three Demon Emperors at the time standing up as witnesses.

If the Holy Hall ignored it now, its image would plummet.

To uphold the Holy Hall's prestige, the three could only grit their teeth and jointly step forward to stop Tu Qin.

"Master, please wait!"

"We witnessed your wager with her, it's best to honor it."
