78: Break up
Dai Mubai heard Dai Yutian's cold voice, then glanced at Dai Lin, and understood everything in an instant.
It was nothing more than his so-called father thinking that he had caused Davis to lose his fertility and had killed people from Star Luo Royal Academy without his so-called permission.
Dai Yutian himself was extremely obsessed with power, to the point where he would not allow anyone to challenge his position in the slightest.
This personality, coupled with Dai Lin's instigation, made him treat the person in front of him as if he were judging a criminal.
However, Dai Mubai was not someone who would easily back down, and he essentially looked down on the Star Luo Empire's imperial throne.
Furthermore, as the current co-lord of Soul Beasts, Dai Mubai was even more disdainful of the Star Luo Empire, which had few high-level powerhouses, even if the person in front of him was his so-called father in this World.
So Dai Mubai spoke noncommittally, saying a couple of perfunctory sentences.
"Greetings, Imperial Father, Prince. Your son was delayed by important matters, so I returned late."
Dai Yutian immediately heard the perfunctory meaning in Dai Mubai's words, and anger rose within him. He questioned Dai Mubai word by word.
"Oh, I'd like to know what important matters you, a Prince, had that required you to be delayed in Spirit Hall for so long, and even had two private talks with the current Pope?"
Dai Mubai watched as Dai Yutian's anger gradually flared up, seemingly wanting him to yield. He couldn't help but coldly sigh at Dai Yutian's foolishness in his heart.
He had two private conversations with the Spirit Hall Pope. Didn't that indicate that he had grasped something important?
However, the Dai Yutian in front of him was full of fanaticism for power. At this moment, his only thought was the determination to make Dai Mubai yield today. He chose to ignore everything else.
"Imperial Father, I had no important matters. Would the Spirit Hall Pope seek me out for two private conversations? Shouldn't Imperial Father be concerned about this? Perhaps someone is spreading malicious rumors, after all, your son just won the championship for the Star Luo Empire, and it seems I hold something significant enough to discuss privately with the current Pope."
Dai Mubai smiled and glanced at Dai Lin, his words already clearly indicating what Dai Yutian should be focusing on at the moment.
At this moment, Dai Yutian first heard that Dai Mubai's tone showed no sign of yielding. After an initial burst of anger, he belatedly listened to everything and then looked at Dai Lin with a displeased expression.
But Dai Yutian's personality dictated that he was a stubborn and arrogant person, so he wouldn't back down, only his tone softened slightly as he questioned Dai Mubai.
"Mu Bai, what you said makes sense, but Imperial Father is troubled by some matters in the court. Since Mu Bai, you have important matters, speak first."
Seeing Dai Yutian's attitude, Dai Mubai couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. The Star Luo Empire's system was indeed extremely flawed.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been usurped by the Xu family ten thousand years later. Every emperor under such a system was bound to be self-important, it's just that Dai Yutian was a little more severe.
"Your son has confirmed some important matters through his own connections, regarding the existence of another continent..."
Dai Mubai was too lazy to bother with these things. As soon as he started speaking, Dai Yutian and Dai Lin both interrupted him in unison.
"Impossible!"
Then the two looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and Dai Yutian looked at Dai Mubai and said decisively.
"In the nearly ten thousand years of Star Luo, we have fought many battles related to the sea cities, and we have never heard of the existence of another continent."
At this point, Dai Mubai didn't even want to explain anymore. It was really tiring to communicate with a stubborn and foolish person. He could only helplessly ask in return.
"If it wasn't for this matter, what else would be worth the current Pope seeking me out for two private conversations?"
This counter-question also made Dai Yutian hesitate, as Dai Mubai's words made sense. However, Dai Lin didn't want Dai Mubai to continue to hold the dominant position, so Dai Lin coughed in dissatisfaction and spoke in a tone of commenting on a junior.
"Mu Bai, the person you are communicating with is the current monarch of the Star Luo Empire. Although you are his son, you cannot lose your manners. Have you forgotten this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yutian, who had just been thinking about the other continent, immediately became alert again, and just as he was about to speak, resuming his arrogant demeanor.
Dai Mubai, on the other hand, completely didn't want to tolerate these two fools in front of him anymore. Was Star Luo's martial Spirit really that low in intelligence?
"Prince, let me clarify a question with you again. Do you think the matter of another continent is important, or your so-called manners? Can I finish speaking in one go?"
These words almost triggered Dai Lin. He couldn't understand why Dai Mubai, a junior, a Soul King, dared to talk to him like this.
Dai Yutian snorted coldly and directly applied pressure. After hearing Dai Lin's words, what he wanted to tell Dai Mubai at this moment was that no matter how important the matter was, it wasn't as important as his authority.
Dai Mubai was too lazy to argue with the two of them. He directly attached his Gengjin White Tiger, pushing back the pressure, and directly announced his final sentence.
"If you want to listen properly about the matter of the other continent, I can oblige. If you want to continue putting on airs here, I won't bother to say a single word of nonsense anymore."
Dai Mubai's words, which were rebellious in their eyes, directly caused Dai Yutian to lose his reason. He immediately attached his Martial Soul, and nine Soul Rings lit up.
Even if the sky were to fall today, he, Dai Yutian, would first teach Dai Mubai what rules were.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai was too lazy to continue pretending. He sneered and snapped his fingers, and a middle-aged strong man in dark gold attire appeared directly.
This person was the incarnation of Bear Lord. After standing there and releasing his pressure, he directly made Dai Yutian and Dai Lin feel a terrifying pressure.
After all, after thoroughly understanding the situation in Star Luo, Dai Mubai also concluded that Dai Lin would definitely cause trouble.
Then this stubborn and cheap old man would definitely be incited, and then he would use the opportunity to put on a good show.
Unfortunately, Dai Mubai's time was precious. After completing his goal in Star Luo, he had other important matters to attend to and didn't have time to waste with two people who had no value, either in terms of usefulness or emotional support.
Even if these two were his blood relatives, after all, such things didn't exist in the imperial family, and even less so for Dai Mubai.
And Dai Lin, after just glancing at Bear Lord, concluded that this person's cultivation had reached at least the terrifying level of ninety-seven or even ninety-eight.
Otherwise, a single wave of pressure wouldn't have made him and the ninety-fourth-level Dai Yutian unable to move an inch.
And at this moment, Dai Yutian, who was suppressed to the point of being unable to move, had already turned red in the face from anger. At this moment, there was only one sentence in his heart: Dai Mubai was going to rebel.
Clearly, Dai Lin was much more pragmatic in comparison, after all, if the stubborn Dai Yutian next to him were to say something at this moment.
Then the two of them would likely be finished, after all, he clearly knew how big the gap between them and Bear Lord was.
If the Bear Lord in front of him really made a move today, only the ancestor could stop this person, of course, before that, he would definitely not survive.
Although he didn't know why Dai Mubai could find such a terrifying existence, Dai Lin, who always valued his life, didn't want to take risks.
So Dai Lin put on a full smile and quickly spoke up to explain for Dai Mubai.
"Mu Bai, look, this is what he meant. You met such an existence outside and didn't inform us first."
"Everything I said, both of you desperately interrupted. Did I have a chance to introduce him?"
Dai Mubai heard the meaning of Dai Lin's yielding, but he didn't want to let go of Dai Lin, the culprit, like this today.
Dai Lin looked at Dai Mubai as if he already knew everything, and couldn't help but grit his teeth inwardly. What kind of useless intelligence was this? Didn't it say that Dai Mubai was brave but lacked strategy? Didn't it say that he only knew one Dugu Bo?
Then Dai Lin looked at Dai Yutian, who was about to speak, and quickly interrupted him, his face already showing a fawning expression, and continued to speak, trying to get Dai Mubai not to get agitated for now.
"Mu Bai, look, you know your Imperial Father's temper. Why don't we sit down and talk?"
Dai Mubai remained silent for a long time, and Bear Lord's gaze towards the two of them became increasingly fierce. Just as Dai Yutian was almost at his limit of endurance.
"Alright then, let's sit down and talk."
Dai Mubai finally spoke slowly, and then unceremoniously ordered the guards to bring chairs and a table, as if he were the master of this place.
At this moment, Dai Yutian was almost grinding his teeth to dust, after all, the Dai Mubai in front of him had already trampled on the imperial authority he cared about the most.
Dai Lin kept hinting at Dai Yutian not to be impulsive, after all, the pressure emanating from the Bear Lord in front of them clearly indicated he was a murderous person, and Dai Lin knew very well that such a person could finish them off in less than fifty rounds.
Dai Mubai, on the other hand, watched the show from the side without saying a word, while Zhu Zhuqing was full of shock.
After all, she had wanted to stop Dai Mubai from the moment he started speaking, and at the end, she even wanted to plead for him.
Good heavens, who knew that Dai Mubai would call out an existence that was clearly at the peak among Title Douluo with a snap of his fingers?
Otherwise, the two Title Douluo in front of them, who were also her seniors, would not have yielded so quickly.
After sitting down for two minutes, Dai Mubai just yawned, showing no intention of explaining anything throughout. The only time he spoke was to ask Zhu Zhuqing to peel fruit for him.
Seeing this, Dai Lin stole a glance at Bear Lord's still unfriendly gaze, and then continued to cautiously inquire about Bear Lord's origin.
"Hehe, Mu Bai, you seem to have forgotten to introduce this gentleman's name and where he is from."
