Ning Fengzhi's gentle voice echoed through the hall—soft, calm, almost polite.
But every word landed in Dai Tianfeng's ears like a thunderous hammer.
"In front of the Divine Emissary, put away your so-called imperial majesty.
It's worthless."
Divine.
Emissary.
Two simple words.
Yet, when spoken in this hall, they were like twin bolts of heavenly thunder, exploding in the minds of every official present.
Dai Tianfeng's twisted, wrathful expression froze instantly.
His body stopped struggling.
His breath hitched mid-roar.
Zhu Chenfei, who had been trembling like a leaf beside him, also went rigid, as if someone had tapped his acupoint.
Even the civil and military officials—who had been bowing like quails moments ago—forgot their fear.
Their heads snapped up simultaneously, eyes wide with disbelief.
A Divine Emissary.
As one of the oldest inherited powers on the continent, the Star Luo Empire naturally knew what this meant.
A Divinity—
the ultimate existence all Spirit Masters pursued.
The pinnacle of the cultivation path.
A being mortals could only bow beneath.
And Zhu Zhuyun…
became the emissary of such a being?
Dai Tianfeng's mind buzzed.
Blank.
Empty.
All killing intent vanished.
All anger evaporated.
What replaced it was shock—
realization—
and a faint trace of fanatic devotion.
Of course!
No wonder she had transformed so much!
No wonder she dared treat imperial power like dirt!
No wonder Ning Fengzhi and two Titled Douluo escorted her like servants!
They weren't mad.
They had found the strongest backer in the world.
A wave of resentment surged in Dai Tianfeng's chest.
Damn it!!
Zhu Zhuyun is one of my Star Luo people!
She is the future daughter-in-law of the Dai Family!
Even if she's going to be a dog of—
cough!
Even if she's going to assist a Divine Emissary…
It should be MY Star Luo Empire reaping the benefits!
Why let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School get ahead?!
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo finally retracted their pressure.
The invisible mountain crushing the emperor vanished.
But instead of scrambling up in humiliation, Dai Tianfeng rose with slow dignity, patting nonexistent dust off his dragon robe.
The ferocity on his face evaporated instantly—
Replaced by the warm, kindly expression of a doting family elder.
"Oh dear! Zhuyun, child—look at you!"
Dai Tianfeng's tone was filled with affection and gentle reproach, as if he hadn't just tried to kill someone moments ago.
"Becoming a Divine Emissary is such a monumental matter! Why didn't you inform your family sooner?"
"If you'd told us, I—ah-hem, we—would've prepared the grandest banquet in the entire continent for you!
Isn't that right, Minister Zhu?"
Saying this, he even hurried forward to personally help Zhu Chenfei up as if they were lifelong brothers reunited.
The "family" he spoke of cleverly included himself.
And his gaze at Ning Fengzhi made the meaning clearer:
No matter how desperately you curry favor, schhe is still MY Star Luo's person.
Zhu Chenfei, a veteran schemer who had followed Dai Tianfeng for years, understood instantly.
He latched onto Dai Tianfeng's arm, beaming like a lucky mascot.
"Yes, yes! Zhuyun, you silly child! Making School Master Ning escort you personally—don't do this again!"
Inside Feng Ran Pavilion—
Everyone watching the live broadcast saw Dai Tianfeng's face change faster than flipping a page.
A chorus of disdain rose immediately.
"Hmph!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted, lip curled with contempt.
"So much for the 'fierce national character' of the Star Luo Empire.
He's just another dog wagging his tail at higher authority."
Spirit Kite Douluo, no longer in her meal-time "soft mode," folded her arms proudly.
"Fierce? Sure—compared to those weaklings from Heaven Dou."
"But in front of Spirit Hall? If we don't beat the shit out of him, he should count himself lucky!"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
Elder Spirit Kite… your phrasing is a bit too fierce.
Seeing all the Elders offering opinions, Devil Bear Douluo suddenly felt uncomfortable.
How could he, the loyal mascot of the Elder Hall, stay silent?
If he didn't contribute, wouldn't he look stupid?
He scratched his head, watching the light screen closely.
Looking for an opening.
Looking hard.
Finally, his gaze landed on Zhu Chenfei—smiling, groveling, tail practically wagging.
Found it!
Devil Bear Douluo's eyes lit up.
He took a deep breath, preparing his "wise and shocking" comment.
"Yes! And that Zhu guy—look at him! All grinning and wagging his tail—he's practically Dai Tianfeng's pet dog!"
The last syllable had barely left his mouth—
The entire Elder table went still.
The Hall of Worship table also froze.
A deathly silence spread.
Tuoba Xi, Saint Dragon Douluo—usually the most even-tempered man—turned pale instantly.
His facial muscles twitched violently.
His expression said clearly:
YOU ARE NOW A DEAD BEAR.
"Holy shit!"
He cursed loudly and, without hesitation, sent a full-force kick straight into Devil Bear's kidney!
BOOM!
Devil Bear Douluo was kicked flat onto the floor.
He hadn't even recovered—
"Are you seeking death?!"
"I'll kill you, you brain-dead oaf!!"
"A damn loudmouth!!"
The other Elders shot up like enraged cats, swarming him.
Elbows!
Knees!
Chokeholds!
Groin attacks!
It was a massacre.
"OW! OW! What are you doing?!"
"Not again! NOT AGAIN!!"
Devil Bear Douluo, beaten senseless for the second time in two days, roared in despair.
Thanks to his thick skin—and Lin Feng's strength-enhancement—he finally managed to throw the group off him.
Panting, bruised, covered in lumps, he glared resentfully.
"Yesterday I blurted out something I shouldn't have and got beaten—fine! I accepted it!"
"But why today?!
WHAT DID I SAY WRONG?!"
The moment he asked—
All the Elders' faces turned pitch-black.
Ghost Douluo vanished like a ghostly blur.
He reappeared beside Devil Bear, grabbed his ear, and hissed through clenched teeth:
"You want to know WHY?!"
"That Zhu guy—Zhu Chenfei—"
"He is the biological father of the TWO Divine Emissaries from Senior's shop!!!"
"You ask what you did wrong?!"
"You insulted SENIOR'S IN-LAWS!!!"
