36: I told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me?

Among the Dragon Clan members.

Tianhai Longyue, who was only fit to stand in the corner, widened her eyes, her large eyes darting around.

‘Good heavens, are young people this reckless now?’

‘Slapping the Clan Leader in public??’

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she was currently wearing a very plain gray long gown, indicating that her status was just an ordinary member among the Dragon Clan, not the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere of the entire scene, she kept her mouth shut, secretly rejoicing in her heart while continuing to observe silently.

Inside the hall.

Looking at the young man's displeased stance and hearing his arrogant self-proclamation of 'this Dragon Emperor'.

White Sand Tianrui opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Anger? Regret? Helplessness?

He himself couldn't describe what he was feeling right now.

It was just too unexpected, leaving him speechless for a moment.

【Slapping this person greatly relieved your anger, and seeing that this Dragon Clan Chief was indeed speechless, you felt that you had already stood on the moral high ground.】

【So you decided—】

【A: Kneel and apologize, saying it wasn't intentional just now.】

【B: Increase the firepower, continue to express dissatisfaction with the Dragon Clan, in an attempt to make the other party compensate you!】

【C: Lower your stance and stop pursuing the matter.】

【D: Order him to hand over the 'dragon god jade' to complete the final step of your plan.】

B!

Seeing that this Dragon Clan Chief 'dared not' speak, Chu Tianze's confidence soared.

Looking up at the three-meter-tall dragon-person made him feel very uncomfortable, so he said to him in a flat yet unquestionable tone: “Kneel.”

......

The entire scene was silent.

The air seemed to solidify.

The crowd outside the hall held their breath, fearing that they might break the atmosphere.

The Sect Leader and Elders of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land even suspected they had misheard, looking at each other, their wide eyes filled with shock and doubt.

......

“I told you to kneel, didn't you hear?”

Chu Tianze repeated it again, his clear black pupils filled with impatience.

Everyone had indeed heard clearly.

But precisely because of this, they dared not speak even more.

White Sand Tianrui looked down at Chu Tianze, his expression no longer as amiable as before.

“Say that again?”

His chilling tone was like a snowy field in deep winter, making one shudder upon hearing it.

“You want me to say it again?”

But facing everyone's gaze, Chu Tianze not only wasn't afraid but became even more impatient: “As the Dragon Clan Chief, your ability isn't all that great, is it? I said it twice and you didn't hear.”

“Are you deaf because you're old? Then retire early and give young people a chance.”

“Don't think that the Dragon Clan will suddenly fall apart without you.”

“Truly speechless.”

“Or did you hear but pretend not to? So what is it, do you want to deliberately anger me?”

White Sand Tianrui was silent.

Like a stone statue, motionless.

【Collapse Value +20】

No one dared to make any sound.

Only Lin Sheng, who was separated by the light screen and countless miles away, clicked his tongue in amazement.

“Awesome, awesome.”

“A 'feat' like speaking back to an Immortal Master at the Martial Apprentice realm, this must be the first time since Opening Heaven, right?”

“After today's events spread, Chu Tianze will also be able to leave his name in history, just like Ye Liufeng.”

Inside the hall, White Sand Tianrui finally moved.

In the end, he still wasn't angry.

Instead, he shook his head and sighed heavily, lamenting his disappointment: “It must be that something went wrong during the reincarnation process, otherwise, how could my disciple's temperament have changed so drastically?”

“Since that's the case, I, your master, will have to take you back first.”

“Perhaps in our ancestral land, you will return to normal......”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The most excited were none other than the Sect Leader and Elders of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land.

They stared straight at each other with wide eyes.

The Dragon Clan is leaving? They won't cause trouble here today?

Then this certain-death situation of the Ten Fiends......

“Take me back!?”

Hearing White Sand Tianrui say this, Chu Tianze's reaction was particularly strong.

“Ridiculous, you want to take me away without this Dragon Emperor's permission, so what's the difference between you and this Heavenly Evolution Holy Land?”

“Under the guise of being good for this Dragon Emperor, you forcibly capture me.”

“Indeed, you are all cut from the same cloth!”

“The Dragon Clan isn't a single good thing either!”

Upon hearing this.

White Sand Tianrui finally couldn't help but chuckle: “Who was it who used their bloodline power to summon us? Now you're saying we're not good?”

“This Dragon Emperor summoned you to come and lend support, not for you to come and show off!”

Chu Tianze's face showed extreme displeasure: “And what's the result? Just now I told you to kneel and you didn't, how can this Emperor maintain face!???”

“Those who don't know would think you're my boss!”

【Collapse Value +30】

“Heh heh.”

White Sand Tianrui was clearly somewhat annoyed.

He turned his head and glanced at these people from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, then looked at Chu Tianze again and said coldly: “Originally, sensing your angry and aggrieved summons, we thought you were suffering inhumane abuse here.”

“Now it seems...”

“With your realm and temperament, being able to stand here completely unharmed truly means the Holy Land has given face to our Dragon Clan!”

Seeing that Chu Tianze was about to say something else.

White Sand Tianrui let out a fierce snort, directly stunning the other party unconscious.

“Foolish fellow, still making a spectacle of yourself here.”

“Take him away!”

He flicked his sleeve violently, then turned around and transformed into a dragon-shaped golden light, soaring away.

Perhaps because he was angry, within the trajectory he flew through, heart-shaking thunder and lightning continuously resounded.

Boom boom boom......!

The other members of the Dragon Clan quickly reacted, sending one person to roughly grab Chu Tianze and take him away, while the remaining dragons breathed a sigh of relief among themselves, turning to leave in groups of two or three while discussing heatedly.

“The reincarnation of the former Dragon Emperor is too arrogant, isn't he? Does he think he's still the Dragon Emperor?”

“Yeah, if these words spread today, who knows what the current Dragon Emperor will think.”

“Lord Tianrui is his and the current Dragon Emperor's benefactor and master, yet he actually wanted him to kneel, tsk tsk tsk......”

“Alas, I used to think it wouldn't be bad for this person to return, but now... forget it, it's better to honestly join the new Dragon Emperor's faction.”

“That's right......”

In the blink of an eye.

The Dragon Clan, which had rushed over aggressively, hurried away like the wind again.

A great crisis, considered a 'certain-death situation of the Ten Fiends', quietly passed amidst the tense mood of the Holy Land's people.

It wasn't until a good while after the Dragon Clan members had left.

That sighs of relief rose one after another inside the Holy Land's great hall.

“Hoo—”

“They're gone......”

“Are we alright...?”

Having survived a disaster, they should have been extremely excited.

But the people in the hall couldn't feel happy no matter what.

Because the current situation was especially strange, so strange that they weren't even sure if this certain-death situation was truly gone.

The Elders looked at the Sect Leader, only to see him with his eyes closed, a vast starry screen appearing beside him, with countless dazzling stars flashing on it—clearly, he was performing a divination.
