Yet, when facing the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, even though most of their strengths were quite similar, and even some Devil Emperors were slightly more powerful than the Envoy,

the posture they assumed in his presence invariably became much more subdued.

As the Dragon Lord’s Envoy drew closer to White Emperor City, the Devil Emperors became increasingly restrained, most of them starting to grow nervous.

And just as the enormous hooves of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy were about to come into contact with White Emperor City,

his body began to slowly shrink.

By the time the Dragon Lord’s Envoy set foot within White Emperor City, it had transformed into a large elephant about several zhang tall.

Which is to say, just a bit larger than an ordinary elephant.

His appearance was no longer as terrifying as it had been before.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy trod on the ground, casting a glance around him.

Wherever the Envoy’s gaze went, all the Demon Beasts involuntarily bowed their heads, not daring to offend the one being who could make direct contact with the Dragon Lord.

The Dragon Lord had been in seclusion for many years without emerging.

But his majesty still remained.

Within the entire Eight-layered Devil Realm, even the yet-to-be-enlightened Demon Beasts would feel a surge of fear in their blood and instinct for the Dragon Lord.

This fear, etched in their blood and instinct, made the many Demon Beasts dare not to show the slightest offense to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy before them.

Under the kneeling submission of countless Demon Beasts, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy took steps towards the Southern Courtyard.

When he neared the Southern Courtyard,

the Dragon Lord’s Envoy paused briefly, his eyes tinted with red as he looked around.

“Where is the Green Hill Fox Emperor of the Green Hill fox clan?”

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy slowly opened his mouth, calling out in inquiry.

His voice was incredibly deep, lacking much fluctuation or turmoil, like the sound of a bass cannon, shaking the very air around him.

After the Envoy spoke,

a maiden in green quickly approached, respectfully addressing the Envoy, “Envoy, the clan leader is making preparations for the Saintess to facilitate your Excellency’s taking her away.”

As soon as the maiden’s words came out, the eyes of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy slightly narrowed, followed by a frown, and he slowly said,

“What’s the matter?”

“Is your Saintess unwilling?”

When the Dragon Lord’s Envoy spoke, the maiden’s complexion turned much paler, and she immediately gestured with her hands, wanting to say something more.

However, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy did not give the maiden a chance to speak, saying indifferently, “If the Saintess truly is unwilling to bear offspring for the Dragon Lord, then the Dragon Lord will not insist. I shall depart now and report back to the Dragon Lord.”

Upon saying this,

not only did the maiden’s face turn pale, but the bodies of the countless surrounding Demon Beasts involuntarily shivered.

In this Eight-layered Devil Realm, no one dared defy the will of the Dragon Lord.

Previously, a clan had been eradicated for defying the will of the Dragon Lord before he even had to personally speak a word, as other Devil Emperors eagerly executed the clan to purge the Lord’s concerns,

thereby currying favor with the Dragon Lord.

If the Dragon Lord’s Envoy were indeed to return and report back to the Dragon Lord,

fearful was that before the Envoy could even reach Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils to see the Dragon Lord, White Emperor City would have already been trampled to dust by the other Devil Emperors.

“Envoy, you jest; how could the Saintess be unwilling?”

“Your Excellency need only wait a moment longer, and soon our Saintess will arrive to accompany you to meet the Dragon Lord,” said the maiden without further delay.

Upon hearing the maiden’s words, the Envoy’s eyes moved up and down, sizing her up, as if a flicker of inexplicable interest sparked, only to be quickly suppressed.

He nodded ever so slightly. @@novelbin@@

“Very well, for your sake, I shall wait for your clan leader,” he said.

“Should the Saintess be unwilling, I see a great opportunity for you to catch the Dragon Lord’s eye.”

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy spoke slowly.

Upon hearing the Envoy’s words, the maiden first was taken aback, then her eyes revealed a shade of pain, and after struggling visibly, she was about to speak to the Envoy,

when suddenly there came the sound of doors being pushed open from inside the Southern Courtyard.

Immediately afterward,

a young man in a white robe, with strikingly handsome features, rushed out, his forehead seemingly covered in a profuse sweat.

Apparently, he had just been extremely anxious over something.

Yet the young man was quite adept at managing his expression.

He vanished from the spot in an instant, and in the next breath, he appeared right before the Envoy.

Upon reaching the Envoy,

the beads of sweat on the white-clad man’s forehead had vanished, and his previously anxious countenance became composed.

The white-clad man gave a slight bow to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, then said, “Greetings to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.”

The Envoy looked at the white-clad man, seemingly dissatisfied with the man’s initial tardiness followed by his sudden appearance.

Frowning, he scrutinized the man.

“Bai Liexing, Green Hill Devil Emperor, this is not your usual way of doing things. The Dragon Lord has taken a fancy to your clan’s Saintess; are you unwilling?” the Envoy inquired.

The words of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy entered the ears of the white-clad man, causing the Green Hill Devil Emperor’s mouth to twitch imperceptibly.

Then, a trace of a serene smile spread across his face.

“Where do your words come from, Honorable Envoy? Of course, I am willing. It is the glory of our clan’s Saintess to bear offspring for the Dragon Lord, as well as the honor of our clan,” said the Green Hill Devil Emperor, while he angled his body slightly toward the Envoy,

“Honorable Envoy, would you please enter the courtyard for a chat?”

Listening to the words of the Green Hill Devil Emperor, the Envoy glanced once more at the gate of the Southern Courtyard, pondered for a moment, and then smiled broadly.

He nodded softly.

And stepped leisurely into the Southern Courtyard.
