The Grand Duke of the Underworld wore a bitter expression.
His relationship with Zhu Zhuqing was not good; he even sent people to force Zhu Zhuqing to return.
Zhu Zhuyun even sent people to hunt down Zhu Zhuqing.
It was all because of the Star Luo Empire's system, but as a result, the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire was completely destroyed, and a once happy family was reduced to this state.
Zhu Zhuyun was the first to come to her senses, took a deep breath, and forced a smile.
"Zhu Qing probably doesn't want to have anything to do with the Zhu family anymore. As long as she's alright, that's all that matters."
"If you see her, please ask her to have some time to go home!"
"Of course, if Zhu Qing is unwilling, then forget it."
Lin Chuan nodded silently, "I will convey your message. As for whether she is willing to come back to see you, that depends on her own decision."
"gone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan vanished instantly.
Only after he left did the assembled high-ranking officials of Xingluo finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One of them tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, are we really going to choose to compromise and merge with the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at him indifferently and retorted, "Could we possibly refuse?"
"The current Pope of the Spirit Hall has already become a god, and His Majesty the King of Zhenbei is even stronger. Do you think the Star Luo Empire can resist him?"
Upon hearing this, the speaker's heart skipped a beat, but he remained stubbornly opinionated.
"My Star Luo Empire has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even a god couldn't wear them down, could he?"
"If we join forces with the Heavenly Battle Empire, even the Spirit Hall will not be without the power to fight back."
"It's better than doing nothing and being swallowed up by the Spirit Hall. Does Your Majesty intend to abandon the century-old foundation of the Star Luo Empire?"
By the end, the tone had become questioning.
Zhu Zhuyun's face turned ashen, and she was about to reprimand him when a strange noise suddenly came from not far away.
"Report!!!"
A figure descended from the sky and knelt before Zhu Zhuyun and the others.
Zhu Zhuyun could only temporarily suppress her anger and coldly demanded, "Speak."
"Your Majesty, my lords, a battle report has arrived from the front."
As he spoke, the person lifted up a booklet.
The Grand Duke of the Underworld stepped forward to take it and then handed it to Zhu Zhuyun.
She opened the booklet, her beautiful eyes falling upon it.
With just one glance, Zhu Zhuyun's pupils shrank to the size of needles, and her face showed disbelief.
Grand Duke Youming, noticing something amiss, quickly asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, has something happened again?"
"No, it's just a battle report on the last battle. You can see for yourselves!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuyun casually handed the booklet in her hand to the others.
The Grand Duke of the Underworld was the first to take it, and after a quick glance, he gasped in shock.
After that, everyone else did similar things.
Ultimately, the pamphlet fell into the hands of the officials who had previously proposed the resistance.
"Clap!"
The booklet fell to the ground.
The man also took several steps back.
"How can it be"
"Why not?" Zhu Zhuyun retorted sarcastically, her beautiful eyes revealing a deep mockery.
"This is a battle summary written by the Marshal himself, and it also bears the Marshal's seal."
"His Majesty the Prince of Zhenbei single-handedly slayed hundreds of thousands of abyss monsters, as if a god had appeared in the world. This can't possibly be a fabrication, can it?"
"The abyssal monsters are even stronger than the imperial army, yet they are so easily defeated by His Majesty the Prince of Zhenbei."
"Do you still think that an army of hundreds of thousands can wear down a god?"
The cold words pierced my heart like steel needles.
The man was unable to speak no matter what he did.
At this moment, the Grand Duke of the Underworld quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, "Perhaps Lord Chen is just getting old and is talking nonsense."
However, Zhu Zhuyun still didn't let it go easily, casually waving her hand, "Since you're getting old, then retire and go back to your hometown!"
"Also, have someone thoroughly investigate his background to see if he has done anything corrupt or illegal. Investigate the other nobles as well."
"If they treat human life as worthless and prey on the people, then they should be dealt with accordingly."
"Lord of the Underworld, I'm entrusting this matter to you. You should be fine with it, right?"
After speaking, Zhu Zhuyun glanced sideways at the Grand Duke of Youming.
"This"
The Grand Duke of the Underworld hesitated.
Taking action against all the nobles would be extremely offensive and a thankless task.
However, the two great empires are about to merge, which will cause turmoil across the entire continent.
Whether high-ranking officials and nobles can retain their current positions is another matter.
But without a doubt, this is also an opportunity for the Zhu family.
If this can be used as a pledge of allegiance, perhaps when the two great empires merge and the continent is unified to form a new empire, the Zhu family, even if they cannot advance further, will still have no problem maintaining their current status.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint appeared in the eyes of the Grand Duke of the Underworld.
He immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will certainly handle this matter strictly."
Seeing that her father understood her meaning, Zhu Zhuyun breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Very good, go and do it!"
"My minister retire."
After leaving those words behind, the Duke of the Underworld picked up Lord Chen as easily as a chick and strode away into the distance.
As for the final outcome, no one knows.
The other officials couldn't help but exchange a silent glance.
It's going to change!
After leaving Xingluo City, Lin Chuan hurried towards Seagod Island.
Let's go see the farthest place first.
If Shui Bing'er and the others are almost back, then take them back with you, and then go find Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
With the rapid speed of the Wind and Thunder Wings, Hanhai City was already within reach.
The salty sea breeze blows in my face.
Lin Chuan glanced at it briefly, then continued flying straight into the depths of the sea without stopping.
Before long, Poseidon Island came into view.
Compared to when I left, this place doesn't seem to have changed much; it's still the same as before.
His spiritual energy surged forth, enveloping the entire Poseidon Island.
They found Shui Bing'er and the others in an instant.
"who?!"
Just then, a sharp shout rang out.
A blue beam of light shot out from Poseidon Island and instantly hovered above it.
Who else could it be but Poseidon?
Her appearance remained as gentle as ever, but her beautiful eyebrows were now furrowed, and her gaze swept around the surroundings.
Not only that, but its mental energy was also released without reservation, carefully investigating.
However, no matter what they did, they found nothing.
This made Poseidon's heart sink.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan did not intend to hide any longer and flashed to Poseidon's side.
“Senior Poseidon, there’s no need to be so nervous. He’s not an enemy.”
The sudden appearance of the figure startled Poseidon, but when she saw that familiar face, her eyes widened in surprise.
"It's you!"
