Great Hero? He Wasn't Worthy!

"Do you three take it that I do not exist?" Seeing the emotions of the three great demon gods before him, Feng Xiu did not simply sit back and watch them fight among themselves.

The overwhelming aura around him erupted at once, suppressing the three great demon gods before him.

Though they were all powerful demon gods, before Feng Xiu, they had neither the ability to act arrogantly nor to resist. In but a moment, the immense pressure upon them rendered them unable to move, instantly forcing them to their knees in evident agony.

Yet none of them dared resist.

Only Necromancer Demon God Samikina's offense had been relatively minor. He immediately begged loudly, "Please quell Your Majesty's anger!"

"Please quell Your Majesty's anger!" Bear Demon God also immediately began to beg for mercy. There was no shame in begging Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu for forgiveness!

Only Ananda stubbornly held himself up, his gaze still fixed furiously on Samikina. Clearly, if Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu had not stopped him, he would likely have directly fought Samikina.

Seeing this, Feng Xiu's anger had already faded. The pressure he exuded gradually eased, and the three great demon gods were dazed for a moment before finally letting out a breath, no longer suffering under it.

Only then did Samikina dare to speak. "It seems this Autumn Offensive against Dragon Control Pass cannot continue."

"Does Your Majesty have any plans?"

Upon hearing this, Bear Demon God and Ananda also raised their heads.

"The Autumn Offensive?" Feng Xiu slightly raised his gaze, looking down at the three demon gods before him.

"Then what does Your Majesty mean?" Bear Demon God asked anxiously.

At that moment, all three demon gods raised their heads.

"No need to ask. I have my own arrangements." Feng Xiu's expression was indifferent. From beginning to end, he remained calm and composed, lofty and untouchable.

The three great demon gods no longer even dared to raise their heads and meet his gaze. They did not dare.

But recalling Long Xingyu's earlier insult, Bear Demon God gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the Autumn Offensive is about to end, and it is of great importance."

"If we miss this chance, then—"

Before Oliver could finish, Feng Xiu's sword-like eyes swiftly turned toward him. The terrifying pressure belonging to the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Emperor descended upon Oliver at that instant.

No matter how strong Oliver was, his words caught in his throat. He could not utter another sound, only staring wide-eyed at Feng Xiu in utter terror.

"It has been so long since I disciplined you that you now think I have grown old?"

"Oliver, since when was it your place to question my decision?"

"I have my own arrangements. What need is there for you to interfere?"

Feng Xiu's voice was icy as boundless majesty slowly unfolded. The three demon gods felt a chill pierce straight through their hearts, and immediately lost any desire to argue further. They feared death.

Feng Xiu's eyes remained cold. With a sweep of his sleeve, he rose and departed the Demon Dragon Great Hall.

It was not until more than three minutes after he had left.

That the three great demon gods finally dared to let out long breaths and compose themselves.

"Oliver, how dare you question His Majesty?"

"Have you forgotten His Majesty's temperament?"

Samikina turned toward Bear Demon God and roared, terror written across his face. Though he was the Fourth Demon God, he was trembling slightly even now.

Samikina knew Feng Xiu's temperament well. The previous Necromancer Demon God had once argued with Feng Xiu, and in a fit of rage, Feng Xiu had killed him instantly. The former Necromancer Demon God had not even been given a chance to resist, and that was how Samikina had gained the opportunity to rise to his position.

And now, that idiot Oliver had actually dared to talk back to Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. Samikina's heart had turned cold just now, and he had nearly wanted to slap that fool to death himself.

Ananda said nothing, merely turning and leaving at once.

No matter how terrifying the Demon God Emperor was, he could at most temporarily quell Ananda's intentions. He could never stop Ananda's desire to battle Long Xingyu.

Oliver, meanwhile, lay on the ground in a daze, ignoring Samikina's curses.

He understood very well what Feng Xiu's tone and words had meant just now.

It was a warning.

This unauthorized invasion of Dragon Control Pass, along with his countless past acts of disobedience and reckless conduct—Oliver knew Feng Xiu had been keeping track of them all. The moment Feng Xiu decided to act, would be the day Oliver lost his life!

Demon God Emperor's Bedchamber.

At that moment, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu lay on his bed, his entire aura restrained. Unlike his earlier dominance, Feng Xiu was now exceptionally gentle, like an elegant and handsome man untouched by the mortal world.

He held a photograph in his hand. The woman in it was breathtakingly beautiful, with a trace of gentle softness. No matter how domineering the Demon God Emperor was outside, when he looked at this photograph, his eyes were filled only with tenderness.

"Lingxuan."

This woman was Bai Yue's mother.

Bai Lingxuan was also the one Feng Xiu had always loved.

Back then, I should have acted personally and entered human territory. After Yue'er gave birth, I should have brought her back instead of letting her remain there.

But then, he recalled the words of the three great demon gods in the hall just now.

At the same time, he noticed the name of the man who had fought Bear Demon God and Ananda alone!

Long Xingyu!

"Long Xingyu, Yue'er's husband?"

"Has he finally reached Ninth-Tier Level Four?"

At that moment, Feng Xiu finally remembered something.

Ten years ago, when he took Bai Yue away, it had happened shortly after they were married.

After discovering that Bai Yue had been taken away by him, Long Xingyu had developed a knot in his heart, and his cultivation had stagnated. After reaching the peak of Ninth Tier Level Three, he had been unable to break through because of changes in his state of mind.

He had been firmly stuck there.

Yet now, he had actually reached Ninth-Tier Level Four.

It seemed that his state of mind had indeed become much clearer.

"Still, merely being Ninth-Tier Level Four is not enough to qualify as my, Feng Xiu's, son-in-law."

Feng Xiu thought this inwardly, though he did not pay it much mind.

A mere Ninth-Tier Level Four—even with the enhancement of a Divine Seal Throne—could still be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

So long as it was not a Super Divine Artifact like the Eternal Creation Divine Seal Throne, the other thrones, though divine artifacts, were nothing more than inferior imitations of the Eternal Throne in Feng Xiu's eyes.

Feng Xiu remained indifferent, not truly taking Long Xingyu seriously at all.

Even though Bai Yue's words from back then surfaced in his mind: her husband was a towering hero who stood tall between heaven and earth.

Whether he was truly a great hero remained to be seen.

But right now, Long Xingyu—

Was still unworthy!!
