In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

But today, it was clear the other party had no such intention. The Grand Duke of the Underworld merely gave a perfunctory bow in greeting. Even the expression on his face lacked any real respect.

Is the treacherous servant Ying trying to turn the world upside down?

Who gave you that confidence?

However, he wasn't in a hurry to launch an attack, wanting to see what the other party was thinking. "I wonder, Duke, did you gain anything this time?"

Without a doubt, he was asking whether Zhu Zhuqing had been brought back.

The Grand Duke of the Underworld suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Of course! And the harvest is immense!"

"Is that so?" Emperor Xingluo was slightly taken aback.

"Your Majesty, please look."

After speaking, the Grand Duke of the Underworld took a step forward, his terrifying soul power surging forth, and he summoned his soul ring.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black.

That's it?

The Star Emperor scoffed. "Who isn't an eight-ringed Soul Douluo?"

Hmm? Something seems off.

Suddenly, his gaze faltered.

Black, black, black, black?

Damn it, there are five black spirit rings!

In an instant, the Star Luo Emperor was stunned. The other party was no longer a Soul Douluo, but had actually become a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

He got it.

No wonder the Grand Duke of the Underworld was so arrogant today. Now, he certainly has the right to be.

Those are titled Douluo! There are only a handful in the entire Star Luo Kingdom, and every single one of them is an honored guest. Even the emperor has to treat them with the utmost respect.

however.

Before the shock had even subsided, the Grand Duke of the Underworld began to add fuel to the fire. "Your Majesty, besides my breakthrough, there is another piece of good news. Just yesterday, our clan's Grand Elder also..."

He successfully broke through to level 90 and had already set off to hunt for soul rings before I arrived. When he returns, our Star Luo will have gained another powerful member.

"what!"

Emperor Xingluo felt as if thunder had exploded in his mind. He collapsed onto his throne.

Holy crap, two Title Douluos have appeared in one sect! Are they trying to kill us all?

This must be good news for your Zhu family.

Haha, you're dumbfounded now, aren't you? Weren't you going to throw a tantrum and suppress me?

The Grand Duke of the Underworld took in the Star Luo Emperor's gaze and felt a surge of pride.

He then said with a regretful expression, "It's a pity that the search for my daughter was fruitless. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he bowed again.

Here we come, after all that buildup, we're finally getting to the main point... Emperor Xingluo's eyelids twitched wildly.

Blame?

Haha. Just kidding.

Now that you, a member of the Netherworld Clan, have two Douluo, do you think I would still dare to blame you?

Besides, you're so arrogant, is that an attitude of admitting your mistake?

Emperor Xingluo smiled kindly: "Your Excellency is too kind. These are nothing but trivial matters. It's just children playing. Besides, Mu Bai is known for his womanizing ways and is indeed unworthy of Zhu Qing."

. "

Circumstances dictate that even the mighty Star Luo Emperor had to yield.

What else can he say in this situation? It's just a matter of each finding a way to save face.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty."

The Grand Duke of the Underworld expressed his gratitude. Secretly, however, he was relieved: if he hadn't received benefits from Mr. Lin, allowing both himself and the Grand Elder to break through, would the Star Luo Emperor have been so agreeable?

話？

Dream on.

However, at that moment...

Dai Mubai walked in, gave a simple bow to his emperor father, and then asked impatiently, "Grand Duke Youming, has Zhu Zhuqing been brought back?"

"no."

"What? There isn't any?"

Dai Mubai's gaze instantly turned icy. He said in a cold voice, "You, Grand Duke of the Netherworld, dare to disobey me underhandedly? How come I received intelligence from my spies saying that you personally..."

Release your own daughter? You dare deceive His Majesty, Grand Duke of the Underworld! Has your Zhu family considered how you intend to bear the wrath of the royal family?!

"Really?"

The Grand Duke of Youming asked with great interest, "Oh? Your Highness, what do you suggest we do?"

On the contrary, he didn't seem to care at all that there was a spy in his own family. Isn't that normal?

"According to the laws of Xingluo, the duke should naturally be demoted to a marquis, and the hereditary title should be abolished."

It must be said that this punishment is extremely severe. In just a few generations, the Zhu family will decline into a small clan.

"Isn't Your Highness overstepping your bounds? This matter depends on His Majesty's opinion."

The Grand Duke of the Underworld said with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

What else can I say? We've already come this far. Of course, I'll do as this prince says... Dai Mubai thought of himself as a clever fellow.

I fear that my father, out of consideration for our past relationship, will not give the emperor a chance to speak.

"presumptuous!"

"The Star Emperor," he suddenly said coldly, his voice filled with boundless majesty.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai understood. "Grand Duke of the Underworld, how dare you!"

I mean, you're being incredibly insolent!

The Star Luo Emperor collapsed. After Dai Mubai entered the main hall, he launched a barrage of attacks on the Grand Duke of Youming, who had only just come to his senses.

In such a short time, they've already fabricated stories about demoting the title and abolishing the hereditary system?

Damn it. You can be the emperor.

I was just thinking about how to appease the Grand Duke of the Underworld and ease the awkwardness from before. Your damn reverse psychology has made the situation even more awkward!

You are truly your father's best son. A very filial son!

Emperor Xingluo was so angry he was about to explode. To avoid dying of anger, he slapped someone from afar!

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the arena. In the eyes of the Grand Duke of the Underworld, Dai Mubai was spun around 360 degrees by the blow.

Furthermore, it appears that two teeth were flung out.

"Pfft."

Dai Mubai landed on the ground. He lay prone, his face filled with disbelief: "Father, why did you hit me?"

I'll hit you. If you weren't my biological father, I'd fucking kill you right now.

The Star Emperor's eyes held a murderous glint.

“Dai Mubai, the Grand Duke of the Netherworld is already a Title Douluo. How dare you offend him?”

"What? He's already a Title Douluo?"

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. Why wasn't something so important mentioned in the intelligence report?

Damn. I get it.

Was that information deliberately shown to me by the Grand Duke of the Underworld?

Sure enough, his guess was confirmed by the playful look in the eyes of the Grand Duke of the Underworld.

Instantly, his face turned ashen.

“Perfect timing, let the Grand Duke be a witness here.”

At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor spoke calmly. "Effective immediately, Prince Dai Mubai is stripped of his title and imprisoned in the forbidden area for three years!"

"Forbidden Zone for Three Years!"

Dai Mubai was struck dumb.

That forbidden area is not a place that normal people can go to.

It is a death trap for the family.

Even those who were born by chance became fools and idiots.

He is stupid.

Unexpectedly, his father abandoned him in order to appease the Grand Duke of the Underworld.

Chapter 45: Casually Giving Away a Titled Douluo

After announcing the verdict against Dai Mubai, Emperor Xingluo loudly summoned a servant: "Pass down the word that the Grand Duke of Youming has rendered meritorious service to the Empire and is hereby granted a fief of three hundred li."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was utterly shocked. "I, this prince, have been completely ruined. And yet I still have merit?"

How much do they look down on me?

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and overwhelmed by anger, Dai Mubai fainted.

The Grand Duke of the Underworld bowed calmly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
