The Emperor's Pride and Compromise

Dai An looked at Lin Xuan and Dugu Bo beside him with a bitter smile on her face.

That's true power. In the face of absolute power, what is a throne, what is status? They're all meaningless.

The legion he relied on was not even considered an obstacle by others.

For the first time, Dai An questioned her right to the throne.

The throne doesn't seem so high and mighty after all.

"I heard you don't give me face?"

"Want to touch me again?"

Lin Xuan looked at Dai An, who was still struggling to stand under his pressure, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

Given his current bloodline level and the vigor of his Blood Qi, it would be virtually impossible for Titled Douluo who isn't at the Extreme Attribute to withstand his direct pressure.

Dai An, with the strength of a level 93 Titled Douluo and an ordinary White Tiger Martial Soul, was able to withstand his direct pressure.

Regardless of whether it's strong or not, that willpower is certainly impressive.

No wonder he's worthy of being an emperor in the Star Luo Empire.

"The Star Luo Ancestral Precepts must not be disobeyed!"

Dai An gritted her teeth and replied, her eyes showing no fear, only adherence to ancestral precepts and the stubbornness of a king.

Lin Xuan looked at the man, whose body was trembling but who remained stubborn, and slightly raised his eyes.

Buzz!

The area that had spread for hundreds of kilometers was instantly reclaimed.

Wow!

Those who were previously suppressed by the domain and forced to kneel on the ground awaiting judgment have finally been liberated.

My body felt so light, it was as if I had been brought back to life.

Dai An sensed the change in her surroundings and felt a lightness in her body. She then looked at Lin Xuan warily, wondering why he was doing this.

"Are you really unwilling to be flexible?"

Since Dai Mubai is dead, what's the point of maintaining this engagement?

Why don't you just announce Dai Weisi as the new successor?

Lin Xuan was genuinely annoyed by Dai An's stubbornness.

He could strike down an enemy without batting an eye.

But it's clear that he's in the wrong.

The ancestral precepts of the Human Star Luo Empire are laid bare before them, and they are even willing to risk their lives for them.

This makes him seem like a major villain.

He was really annoyed by these old-fashioned folks; couldn't they be a little more flexible?

"This is the ancestral precept; even if Dai Mubai dies, this marriage agreement cannot be dissolved."

Zhu Zhuqing has to participate in the assessment even if she is alone.

This path must absolutely not be opened!

Dai An stared at Lin Xuan with unwavering determination, showing no sign of backing down.

The struggle for the throne is a matter between two people.

Don't think that losing one will solve the problem of the other.

The rules of the Star Luo Empire dictate that even if there is only one person left, the battle must never be stopped.

Otherwise, it could easily lead to a situation where the Zhu Family woman murders her fiancé in advance to avoid the risk of death.

Only the strictest rules can ensure the safety of both parties.

At the same time, it can also ensure the strength of the Star Luo Emperor through constant struggle.

Before Dai Mubai broke the rules, the White Tiger Clan had always ruled the Star Luo Empire.

However, after Dai Mubai set a precedent, the Star Luo Empire was replaced by the Star Crown Family after only a few generations.

This illustrates the differences between the Dai Family members in the two environments.

"Brother Xuan, if you ask me, there's no need to waste time arguing with him here."

Let's just slaughter the entire Star Luo Dai Family.

Anyway, as long as the Dai Family disappears from this world.

I refuse to believe that the Star Luo Empire would bother you over a vanished royal family.

Who knows, the new emperor might even have to thank you then!

If you can't bear to do it yourself, then let me do it for you!

Dugu Bo said irritably.

He seriously suspected that Dai An had lost her mind; couldn't she see what was going on?

Will you die if you lower your head?

Are they trying to ruin the entire Dai Family over a rigid rule?

He'd done this before anyway.

The Dai Family had far fewer members than the Yu Family, making the cleanup much easier.

"You dare!"

Dai An was furious upon hearing this, but upon seeing that the speaker was Dugu Bo, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.

This guy is really daring.

Some members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had fled to his Star Luo Empire, and he personally witnessed Dugu Bo on Star Luo City.

Dugu Bo is probably the first person to hunt down an entire clan and kill them all over the continent.

"His Majesty!"

Upon seeing Dugu Bo, the ministers who had just gotten up couldn't help but shudder.

Clearly, they had also considered the terrifying nature of Dugu Bo.

Lin Xuan didn't answer, but just quietly looked at Dai An.

It's like saying if you don't agree, then don't blame him for closing the door and letting Dugu Bo go.

Even though Lin Xuan didn't release any pressure this time, Dai An felt even more pressure on her.

He wasn't afraid of dying alone; he was willing to sacrifice himself for his country.

But what if it really was because of Zhu Zhuqing that his entire Star Luo Dai Family was slaughtered?

Even anyone with the bloodline of the Dai Family will be purged.

Wouldn't that mean the Dai Family would have to disappear from this world completely?

Disobeying ancestral teachings could result in being cut off from one's lineage.

Cut off the family line.

Seeing this, Dai An couldn't imagine what would happen if the Dai Family line were to truly end with him.

He might become the Dai Family's eternal sinner!

Dai An's breathing became heavy at the thought of that scene.

He was unwilling to go against ancestral teachings, but cutting off the family line was even more unacceptable!

"Etc!"

Despite Lin Xuan's indifference and the ministers' pleas, Dai An finally made a decision.

"I can decide to cancel the engagement."

But there's one condition!

Dai An said unwillingly.

"Tell me, as long as it's not too difficult, I'll agree!"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but still patiently prepared to listen to Dai An's conditions.

If the conditions are too difficult, he wouldn't mind accepting Dugu Bo's idea.

"The challenge is simple: to break off Zhu Zhuqing's engagement."

Let her defeat Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

If Zhu Zhuqing can defeat both of them by the age of eighteen, she will set a new record for the Star Luo Royal Family.

"Then I can amend the ancestral precepts and dissolve Zhu Zhuqing's engagement."

Dai An gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Xuan.

This is simply impossible in reality.

It is generally impossible for one person to fight against two beings who are older than oneself and possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Only by doing something seemingly impossible could he have the opportunity to reopen the family genealogy and revise some of its rules.

To put it bluntly, it's still old-fashioned feudalism. Although there have been compromises, they've been very limited.

After all, not everyone is Lin Xuan.

He knew his request was difficult, and he was even prepared to be rejected by Lin Xuan.

"Good!

I agree!

To Dai An's surprise, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been standing behind Lin Xuan, stepped forward and looked at him with a determined gaze.

She wanted to leave cleanly, without leaving any stain on her reputation.

It's just that he's facing Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

She's confident now!
