Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1688: Chapter 121: Shouzhe Has Been Waiting for the Little Demon Sovereign for a Long Time (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_5

Who would have expected.

When Chao Guangyuan entered, he gave no face to Emperor Zi’an. He casually cupped his hands, his attitude nonchalant and uninhibited, and spoke without a hint of politeness: “Such a trivial Dongqian, such a small Emperor Zi’an, dares to put on such airs, not even regarding our Red Moon Demon Dynasty.”

With these words, the faces of the court officials immediately changed.

Wang Shizhao stepped forward at once and reprimanded coldly: “Envoy Chao, your words are excessively arrogant. Our Da Qian is a grand empire and has no subordinate or vassal relationship with your dynasty. You have been sent to Da Qian on a mission, and we shall naturally treat you with courtesy. However, whether to see you or not, our Emperor has his own discretion, and he will not tolerate your presumptuousness here!”

Chao Guangyuan sneered, his hands folded behind his back, his face full of arrogance and disdain: “I do not wish to argue with someone as insignificant as you. This time, I have come under the orders of the Little Demon Sovereign to deliver a message to Emperor Zi’an.”

He paused for a moment, then lifted his gaze to sweep over the faces of the slightly changed expressions of everyone in the hall, the arrogance on his face becoming even more evident: “As long as you hand over the Demonic Dynasty traitor Shadow Snake Demonic Princess and severely punish the Fifth Grade Prominent Families Wang family who were incited by Dongqian, our Little Demon Sovereign will be magnanimous and overlook your Dongqian’s mistakes. Otherwise… humph humph~~”

Such arrogance!

The group of courtiers immediately became agitated, and many were instantly filled with righteous indignation, ready to jump up and curse Chao Guangyuan for his arrogance and insolence.

However, before they could speak, Emperor Zi’an raised a hand to quell their words, then lowered his gaze to look at Chao Guangyuan, and said in a calm voice: “I’ll give you a word: ‘Get out’!”

“What?”

Chao Guangyuan was incredulous.

A mere emperor of a small nation dared to disregard the Little Demon Sovereign so?

“Do you not understand human speech?” Wang Shizhao also spoke coldly, “Not to mention that your Little Demon Sovereign hasn’t even become a Demon Lord yet, even if he truly becomes a Demon Lord, so what? Since ancient times, Immortals and Demons have never coexisted. He can flaunt his power in the Demonic Dynasty all he wants, but does he also wish to dictate our Immortal Dynasty’s affairs?”

“Guards! Expel him immediately. Should he dare linger within the borders of our Da Qian Realm, treat it as espionage.” Wang Shizhao ordered.

“Yes!”

The hall guards responded thunderously, then stepped forward to escort Chao Guangyuan out.

In that moment, the expression on Chao Guangyuan’s face could not have been more vivid.

But at that moment, he dared not be arrogant anymore.

He dared to be arrogant before, relying on the reputation of the Little Demon Sovereign. But truly speaking of strength, he was just a Godsend Realm Cultivation, and if Da Qian truly decided to deal with him ruthlessly, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to leave this hall.

However, though this action was invigorating, some court officials expressed concern. After all, that Little Demon Sovereign had a fierce reputation and was indeed a troublesome character to provoke.

“Rest assured, everyone, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. We just need to carefully manage Da Qian, and if truly necessary, we can still seek aid from the Immortal Dynasty, can’t we?” Emperor Zi’an dismissed unconcernedly with a wave of his hand, “Court dismissed!”

“Court dismissed~”

The sharp voice of the eunuch once again echoed through the hall.

Soon, the court officials gradually dispersed.

But the storm caused by this matter was far from over.

…

Changning Wang Clan.

In the small courtyard of Wang Shouzhe, who was implied to be the “tall one” by Emperor Zi’an, he was nonchalantly drinking Immortal Tea while examining secret correspondence letters.

Both letters were important.

One letter naturally described the scene not long ago in the court—a detailed account of how the Demonic Dynasty envoy was rebuked and expelled by Emperor Zi’an.

The other letter was even more crucial.

This corresponded letter, sealed with a delicately charming plum blossom, had passed through countless secret channels before finally reaching Wang Shouzhe’s hands.

Of course, critical intelligence is never kept to just one letter. To prevent loss or failed delivery, identical intelligence is prepared in multiples, each reaching him through various channels.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Shouzhe would receive many copies of the same intelligence.

This was the first to arrive.

The contents were clear and straightforward.

The Little Demon Sovereign… he has finally come out of seclusion.

After reading it, Wang Shouzhe’s expression remained mostly unchanged, continuing to sip his tea calmly.

No help for that.

Since he decided to co-opt Shadow Snake Demonic Princess’s lineage, he had already begun to prepare against possible actions and retaliations from the Little Demon Sovereign.

Yet, no matter the extensive planning of Wang Shouzhe, he hadn’t anticipated the Little Demon Sovereign’s seclusion to last so long and his coming to be so late…

Truly, even the wisest can err at times.

A miscalculation indeed~
