The Dragon Lord’s Envoy followed the Green Hill Devil Emperor into the Southern Courtyard.

No sooner had the Dragon Lord’s Envoy entered the Southern Courtyard than he saw Cheng Guang, Gu Wushuang, Black Cub, and a host of other Devil Emperors.

After sweeping his gaze over everyone, it settled on Gu Wushuang.

The Dragon Lord’s Envoy sized up Gu Wushuang, his eyes revealing a trace of astonishment and admiration. Beneath this flash of admiration hid an inexplicable implication.

However, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy managed his facial expressions quite well.

His eyes betrayed only a flicker of emotion.

And quickly, he suppressed it.

He did not allow anyone else to notice the peculiar look in his eyes.

After watching Gu Wushuang for a while, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy casually shifted his gaze away, seemingly indifferent as he looked towards the deeper parts of the Southern Courtyard.

While the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was looking towards the deeper part of the Southern Courtyard, several Devil Emperors in the courtyard couldn’t help but put on a somewhat constrained and ingratiating smile when facing the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

These smiles, appearing on the faces of the devil emperors, did not seem out of place. Rather, it was as if they had made these expressions countless times before.

It gave the impression that they had already grown accustomed to it.

“Envoy, this is a modest gift prepared for the Dragon Lord’s wedding. I hope you can present it to the Dragon Lord on our behalf,” the first Devil Emperor with bull horns stepped forward, his smile somewhat sycophantic, contrasting greatly with his honest and straightforward appearance.

As he spoke, he pulled a precious-looking stone from his bosom. The stone was fiery red. The moment it was pulled out, a scorching sensation pervaded the air.

The surrounding area instantly became several degrees hotter.

Cheng Guang’s gaze fell on the stone in the hands of the bull-horned strongman. Clearly, the stone was no ordinary object; merely being taken out, it emitted such a scorching aura.

It was most likely the valuable Fire Cloud Stone.

In the Four Directions Mortal World, it was an extraordinarily rare treasure for tempering the body.

In the resource-deficient Eight-layered Devil Realm, the value of the Fire Cloud Stone probably multiplied several times.

The fact that the bull-horned strongman was able to part with it was indeed remarkable.@@novelbin@@

The Fire Cloud Stone held great efficacy for Devil Emperors like Demon Beasts, as the tempering of the body is always extremely important to them, at any time.

Its value could almost be described as immeasurable.

At the same time the bull-horned man brought out the Fire Cloud Stone, the other Devil Emperors also couldn’t help but startle, looking at the bull-horned man with slight astonishment.

They clearly did not expect him to be willing to spend so lavishly.

The Dragon Lord was someone they, as Devil Emperors, should indeed curry favor with.

After all, he was the ultimate ruler within the Eight-layered Devil Realm, and no Devil dared to offend the Dragon Lord.

But still.

Currying favor with the Dragon Lord should also be done within one’s capabilities, shouldn’t it?

The Wild Ox Devil Emperor just gave away the Fire Cloud Stone; was he not cultivating anymore?

Moreover, what made the other Devil Emperors uncomfortable was the fact that the bull-horned strongman, that is, the Wild Ox Devil Emperor, suddenly produced the Fire Cloud Stone, making the gifts they had already prepared seem insufficient.

Compared to the Fire Cloud Stone, the gifts they had intended to give for the Dragon Lord’s wedding, although not negligible, don’t quite measure up.

When everyone had similar gifts, it wasn’t too bad, but now that the Wild Ox Devil Emperor had secretly prepared such a good item and presented such a precious resource to the Dragon Lord, it put the others in a bind.

If their own gifts were inferior to the Wild Ox Devil Emperor’s, would the Dragon Lord harbor a grudge?

Better safe than sorry.

For if the Dragon Lord took offense because of this, then their action of presenting gifts wouldn’t be about currying favor, but rather inviting trouble for themselves.

With that thought.

The faces of the various Devil Emperors present darkened somewhat.

Most of the Devil Emperors pondered for a moment, and then, with slight irritation, began searching their persons. After finding resources of similar worth, they reluctantly came forward, one by one, and handed over their most prized possessions to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

Cheng Guang watched this scene without much of a reaction, nor did he rush to present a gift to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy. Instead, he was observing the so-called Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

Cheng Guang noticed that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy was not particularly strong.

The aura of his cultivation was merely that of one who had just broken through to become a Heaven Emperor.

But why was his form able to become so massive, as it just had been? Even a Devil Emperor wasn’t as large as this Dragon Lord’s Envoy, was he?

Aside from his size, Cheng Guang harbored another doubt about the Dragon Lord’s Envoy.

That was.

Cheng Guang sensed from the Dragon Lord’s Envoy an indescribably vast and oppressive aura.

This oppressive aura was exactly what had emanated from the Dragon Lord’s Envoy as he descended from the heavens.

This pressure didn’t give Cheng Guang the impression that it came from the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s bloodline or his cultivation.

It was more like an external aura.

It had the essence of a dragon.

Supreme and unruly.

Could it be because the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had spent a long time with the Dragon Lord, his body naturally carried the Dragon Lord’s aura?

As Cheng Guang pondered, watching the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, thoughts whirled in his mind.

But as for the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, besides smiling at the first gift-giving Devil Emperor, the Wild Ox Devil Emperor, he seemed largely uninterested in the other Devil Emperors who came forward with their gifts. He accepted the gifts carelessly and then nodded ever so slightly, with a perfunctory smile on his face.
