Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Just as Xu Tiandi's voice spread far and wide through his soul power, stirring the emotions of the people, the invisible power of faith flowed towards the altar like a gentle stream.

Behind Xu Tiandi, inside a core building designated as the highest-security zone, a figure was conducting a final inspection at top speed.

He is none other than Guan Yue, the newly appointed Lord of the Temple of War.

To ensure the Speaker's safety, he personally took charge of guarding this last line of defense.

His mental energy flowed like mercury, meticulously scanning every corner without the slightest slackening.

However, when he pushed open the door to a lounge room on the top floor that should have been empty, his upright body suddenly stiffened, and his pupils contracted violently in a fraction of a second.

There's someone inside the room!

How can this be? !
Several days before the speech began, the area had been completely cleared out and heavily protected by soul-guided barriers, strictly prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from approaching.

This is directly behind the speaker's platform, a blind spot and potential point of attack that cannot be overlooked!

How could they possibly expose the Speaker's back to an unknown entity?

The man had his back to the door and was facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which stood the stirring figure of Emperor Xu Tian on the altar.

He seemed to simply sit there quietly, as if it had been so since time immemorial.

Seemingly sensing Guan Yue's arrival, the person slowly turned his head and opened his eyes.

He had long, flowing blue hair that moved slightly without any wind.

His face was ancient and simple, making it impossible to tell his exact age. His aura was as deep and boundless as a bottomless sea.

Even though he was just sitting quietly, he gave people a terrifying sense of oppression, as if the energy flowing around him and the entire world were slowly moving around him.

Wow!

Guan Yue's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible giant hand. Almost instinctively, her martial spirit instantly possessed her.

A dazzling light flashed, and a pure white spear, its blade flickering uncertainly, was already firmly grasped in his hand. The incomparably sharp spear intent, mixed with the soul power pressure of a Limit Douluo, instantly locked onto the uninvited guest in the room, the spear tip pointing directly at the other party.

"Who are you?!"

Guan Yue's voice was icy, containing extreme vigilance and killing intent.

"What is your intention in appearing here during the Speaker's speech?"

"tell me!"

While sternly questioning, Guan Yue's powerful mental energy, like invisible tentacles, quickly connected with the reconnaissance soul guidance centers scattered throughout the building, attempting to issue the highest alert as soon as possible, notifying the Imperial Guards and all War Gods on the perimeter.

However, when his mental power reached the boundary of the room, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, completely isolated and swallowed by an even more vast and unfathomable invisible barrier!
His connection with the outside world was forcibly severed.

Niu Tian was not moved in the slightest by Guan Yue's spear intent, which was enough to pierce the sky. His gaze first calmly swept over Xu Tiandi's figure outside the window, seemingly commenting on the content of his speech, before he turned his head completely, his deep eyes, as deep as the starry sky, falling on Guan Yue, who was on high alert.

"I just came to see how Emperor Xu's speech went,"

Niu Tian's voice was calm, even carrying a hint of teasing.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Guan Yue's brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was so gloomy it could drip water.

Things are in trouble!

Even though he was already a level 99 demigod standing at the pinnacle of the continent, with soul power as vast as the sea, facing the blue-haired man before him, he felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance and powerlessness, as if facing the entire world. He couldn't see through him at all!
It was as if he was facing not a person, but an immeasurable deep space of the universe!

Could he be the legendary figure who has transcended the mortal realm, touched upon the divine level, and might even come from... that place...?

"Judging from your expression, it seems like you're trying to guess this or that."

Niu Tian seemed to see through Guan Yue's thoughts and instead spoke up cheerfully, breaking the suffocating silence.

"My name is Niu Tian, ​​and I am the Grand Master of the Haotian Sect."

"I remember your name is Guan Yue, right? You are the current Temple Master of the Federation's War God Temple."

His gaze swept over Guan Yue, with the detached air of a senior examining a junior, and he gently shook his head:
"What a pity, your strength seems to be inferior to that of the previous one, Chen Xinjie."

"The Federation... has also declined."

This assessment, though understated, carries a sharp, biting edge.

Guan Yue's fingers, gripping the Yue Tian Spear so tightly they turned slightly white, caused the spear to hum, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to attack immediately and responded coldly:

"Even if the Federation declines, it is still confident in dealing with a Limit Douluo at the quasi-god level."

He stared intently at Niu Tian, ​​trying to find a flaw in the other's face:
"As far as I know, the Federation did not invite the Haotian Sect."

"Sect Master Niu Tian, ​​why did you come uninvited?"

"No need to be so nervous." Niu Tian smiled, a deep and unfathomable smile. "I'm just here to watch the show."

He even casually reached out to an empty chair in front of him, his demeanor so composed as if he were the master of the room, gesturing to Guan Yue, whose body was tense and whose gun-like intent was palpable:

"Let's watch the speech and chat at the same time."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority, as if his words were the rules.

"sit down."

Guan Yue remained silent, her body as straight as a javelin, her soul power surging and flowing within her body, the tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear flashing with a cold light, showing no intention of sitting down as requested by the other party.

The pressure in the air suddenly increased because of his resistance, as if a devastating conflict could erupt at any moment.

Seeing this, Niu Tian's enigmatic smile seemed to deepen. He spoke again, his voice still calm, but beneath that calmness lay an invisible force capable of crushing mountains, clearly echoing in the closed room:

"Guan Yue,"

"Sit down."

Guan Yue's mind was racing, making an incredibly difficult decision.

Reason told him that since Niu Tian dared to appear so confidently in the core area of ​​the Federation's most heavily guarded territory, he must have a thorough understanding of the defenses on site and possess absolute confidence.

This means that the Green Skull organization's operation this time is not as simple as it seems on the surface; they must be hiding an even more terrifying backup plan.

It's even possible that... this mysterious powerhouse before us is merely the tip of the iceberg!
Thinking of this, Guan Yue's heart sank. He had never expected that a rebellious organization like the Green Skull could actually persuade the legendary Grand Master of the Haotian Sect, a being who seemed to have already transcended the mortal realm.

Even though Speaker Xu Tiandi had already shared some of the secret information, when this legendary being truly appeared before him in an oppressive manner, the impact still made him feel suffocated.

The once-unrivaled number one sect in the world has actually stood on the opposite side of the Federation! (End of Chapter)
