Outside the Northern Territory, Su Tiange gazed away from the deserted village and spoke indifferently, "Retrieve it, people."
Being a person of integrity, Su Tiange couldn't ignore matters at hand. Upon arrival, he had already commanded the entire Heavenly Demon Sect to prepare for imminent warfare to suppress the deserted village.
In light of this, Su Tiange was prepared to revive all the Supreme Elders. Dealing with Tao Xian was no easy feat, but with things progressing positively, it seemed unnecessary now.
"Yes, my lord," respectfully responded Zhou Dafu.
"Huizong, let's observe the intentions of the Lord's Mansion. I've heard the envoys this time are quite assertive?" Su Tiange inquired.
"Master Sovereign, our strategy..." started Chow Tai Fook.
"Stability. The current Heavenly Demon Sect need not attract too much attention," affirmed Su Tiange.
"Understood," nodded Chow Tai Fook.
"I understand the concept of feigning weakness while possessing strength," Su Tiange added.
Heavenly Demon Holy Sect. Heavenly Demon Palace.
Being attended by Murongshuang and Yun Mengchen, Su Tiange ascended to the main hall, donning the suzerain crown.
The suzerain's crown, entirely black with intricate Dao patterns depicting diverse creatures, rested atop his head. Su Tiange, with a visage both handsome and aloof, donned a golden crown resembling that of a typical emperor, while cloud-like boots adorned his feet, exuding a heroic and imposing aura.
In the main hall, Zou Neng, the Realm Lord's Mansion envoy, leisurely sipped tea. Observing Su Tiange's arrival and sensing his aura, Zou Neng instinctively moved to stand but swiftly regained composure, settling back into his seat.
With a disdainful snort, Zou Neng condescendingly remarked, "Sect Master Su, your Heavenly Demon Sacred Sect certainly carries an air of grandeur. As an envoy of the Lord's Mansion, you dare to keep me waiting?"
"The envoy jests. I was occupied with urgent matters that required my attention. I've come to meet you as soon as they were resolved," Su Tiange explained calmly.
Seated upon the Supreme Demon Throne, Su Tiange wore a faint smile on his face. Beside him, Zhou Dafu, who appeared almost translucent, couldn't help but frown. The visitor wasn't courteous; this was evident.
Recalling the cautionary words from the world lord and observing Su Tiange's remarkable presence, Zou Neng felt uneasy and envious.
"Su Tiange, your arrogance knows no bounds. I represent the world lord. How dare you be so presumptuous in my presence? Who allowed you to sit down?" Zou Neng's face reflected arrogance as he scolded.
Who was he?
He was the world lord's messenger!
The one who ruled over the Chenguang Realm!
Did the leader of the Little Heavenly Demon Saint Sect have the right to display arrogance in front of him?
Or was Su Tiange attempting to impress someone?
"What the envoy says is true, it's me, Meng Lang," Su Tiange replied with a frown before relaxing and standing up with a smile.
"Hmph, quite intriguing," Zou Neng coldly snorted, his expression softening slightly. He felt a surge of satisfaction.
Despite being a giant in the Demonic Dao or possessing great power in the Chenguang Realm, they still had to bow before him!
This was the respect demanded by the world lord's envoy!
"I've come here to warn the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Perhaps due to Su Tiange's humble attitude, Zou Neng felt a surge of confidence. He stood up directly, looking down on Su Tiange as he spoke.
"Please, proceed with your words," Su Tiange smiled.
"Don't assume the Heavenly Demon Sect's clandestine actions go unnoticed. Should it happen again, the Heavenly Demon Sect will cease to exist. I will personally lead the Heavenly Lord's Palace's formidable individuals to suppress your sect," Zou Neng uttered, speaking nonsense.
"Are these truly the original words of the World Lord?" Su Tiange seemed suspicious.
"Of course," Zou Neng couldn't mask his expression.
"Alright, Fatty Zhou, this is a decree from the Lord. Take note," Su Tiange instructed Chow Tai Fook.
"Yes, my lord," Zhou Dafu nodded.
"Is Su Tiange deserving of being addressed as a lord here? Is your Heavenly Demon Sect so disrespectful?" Zou Neng expressed his displeasure.
"I beg the messenger's forgiveness, it's my mistake," Zhou Dafu appeared terrified, swiftly knelt down, and apologized.
"I've come here specifically to warn you, Su Tiange. Didn't you have anything to say about it?" Zou Neng attempted to be conciliatory.
"Have I given you too much respect?" Su Tiange's smile waned, expressing helplessness.
Playing games, have you shown your cards? Do you overstep your boundaries?
How could a mere ant from the seventh circle be so audacious before him?
"Su Tiange, you dare to insult me! You're audacious!" Zou Neng's expression turned angry and frozen.
"Zhou Dafu, handle this matter in the Criminal Law Hall. Also, make inquiries through Zhou Ming in the reward hall about the factions supporting this insignificant person," Su Tiange instructed.
"Command the deacon hall. I, a stalwart of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Sect, will be prepared to accompany me to the Lord's Mansion. We'll ask Chen Yu what he intends to do. If there's a battle, I'll join at any time," Su Tiange disregarded Zou Neng, speaking solely to Zhou Dafu.
Zhou Dafu was in charge of the Criminal Law Hall.
"Don't worry, my lord. I'll ensure this 'matter' is handled properly," Zhou Dafu grinned sinisterly.
"Su Tiange, what's your intention?" Zou Neng's expression shifted, feeling a twinge of anxiety.
"Do you have the right to yell in front of me? Even Chen Yu wouldn't dare. How dare you act like a tiger in front of me?" With an icy gaze and a stern face, Su Tiange pointed at Zou Neng.
With just a gesture, Zou Neng was instantly immobilized!
Do insignificant ants compare to him?
Then, let's reserve them for a good interrogation.
