Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi exchanged glances after seeing Zhu Huo.
In an instant, they had already sensed Zhu Huo's strength.
Late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
However, both of them could tell that although Zhu Huo was a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, his strength seemed somewhat unstable. It was clearly a forced ascension through the Dou Di bloodline, and his realm hadn't fully solidified yet.
"Gu Yuan of the Gu Clan!"
"Hun Tiandi of the Hun Clan!"
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi cupped their hands in greeting to Zhu Huo, while Gu Lie and Hun Xuzi stood behind them respectively, like two bodyguards.
"This old man, Zhu Huo, has been ordered by His Majesty to welcome everyone here."
"Please follow me."
After Zhu Huo finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved.
A gap immediately appeared in the light barrier covering Ancient Dragon Island, and Zhu Huo led the way inside.
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, along with the other two, followed closely behind.
Along the way, Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi observed the scenery on Ancient Dragon Island, their eyes occasionally flashing with brilliance.
From the moment they entered Ancient Dragon Island, they sensed numerous powerful presences. Even the number of those who had reached the Dou Sheng level was enough to overwhelm the combined total of their two clans.
And the number of Dou Zun-level clansmen within the Void Ancient Dragon Clan accounted for the majority.
From this, one could also see what kind of heaven-defying changes the emergence of a Dou Di would bring to a clan.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was an ascension of the entire clan.
Soon,
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, along with the other two, arrived outside the most central palace of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan under Zhu Huo's guidance.
Outside the main hall, Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi listened to the conversations coming from inside and looked at Zhu Huo with confusion.
Zhu Huo chuckled, "His Majesty is currently entertaining the most distinguished guest of our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in the main hall."
The most distinguished guest?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four present immediately changed dramatically.
One must know that they not only represented the two most powerful clans on the current Dou Qi Continent, but Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi's strength had also reached the peak of the late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Yet, even so, Zhu Huo still referred to the guest in the main hall as the most distinguished guest of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
To be able to make the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and Zhu Kun attach such importance, it was probably only a Dou Di!
Could it be that there was more than one Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent besides Zhu Kun?
Furthermore, Zhu Kun's breakthrough might even be related to the mysterious guest.
In an instant, the four present analyzed many things.
Soon, Zhu Huo and the four others, including Gu Yuan, entered the palace.
Zhu Huo bowed to Zhu Kun and said, "Your Majesty, the guests have arrived."
After hearing this, Zhu Kun looked at the four, including Gu Yuan, and smiled faintly, "Grant them seats!"
As his voice fell, several young members of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan immediately added four chairs in the main hall.
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi, in turn, cupped their hands in a salute to Zhu Kun.
"Gu Yuan of the Gu Clan / Hun Tiandi of the Hun Clan, greetings to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor."
Zhu Kun's gaze indifferently swept over Hun Tiandi.
"Your name is Hun Tiandi?"
"Hehe, that name is much more domineering than this Emperor's name."
After speaking, Zhu Kun even looked at Qi Lin and chuckled, "Nephew, don't you agree?"
Qi Lin stroked his chin, then shrugged and said, "His name is indeed domineering, but his destiny cannot support this name. He will probably be cursed to death by his own name."
As soon as these words were spoken, Hun Tiandi in the main hall immediately felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine.
He was clearly a peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert, yet beads of sweat still streamed down his forehead.
Hun Tiandi hadn't felt this sensation for over a thousand years.
Especially when he met the gazes of Zhu Kun and Qi Lin, that invisible pressure made him feel a tremor originating from his soul.
Clearly, the most distinguished guest of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, as mentioned by Zhu Huo, was the young man whom Zhu Kun called 'nephew'.
Oh no, he definitely wasn't as young as he appeared.
Beneath his youthful facade, there likely resided a weathered soul.
Not only Hun Tiandi, but the other three also guessed Qi Lin's identity, and even concluded that Qi Lin was also a Dou Di.
This left the few of them aghast, never expecting that a Dou Di, who hadn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, would appear consecutively in such a short period of time.
However… when Gu Yuan thought that Hun Tiandi was actually singled out by two Dou Dis because of his name, he couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
Tsk tsk~
Hun Tiandi also has this day?
On the other side, Hun Tiandi suppressed the humiliation and discomfort in his heart, roaring internally and once again firming his resolve to break through to Dou Di, while at the same time, he bowed to Zhu Kun and Qi Lin with an unchanging expression.
"My name was given by my parents, and I have no choice in the matter. But since the two of you feel my name is inappropriate, then I shall abandon this name. From now on, I shall be called Hun Tian."
Hun Tiandi's attitude was extremely respectful, and everyone in the main hall couldn't help but look sideways.
Especially Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi's old rival.
He knew Hun Tiandi's proud personality all too well, yet he never expected him to decisively put aside his dignity and change his name because of a single sentence from Zhu Kun and Qi Lin.
However, in this way, these two Dou Dis would probably no longer make things difficult for Hun Tiandi.
As he expected, in the center of the main hall.
Zhu Kun, seeing Hun Tiandi change his name so decisively, was surprised by his behavior, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
After all, Zhu Kun's personality was inherently overbearing and proud. Seeing Hun Tiandi, a dignified peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert, act so spinelessly, he naturally felt a few more points of contempt.
But at this moment, Qi Lin suddenly spoke a sentence that instantly broke Hun Tiandi's composure.
"Uncle Zhu Kun, this person is capable of bending and stretching, possessing the demeanor of a schemer. He might be a hidden danger. I'm not afraid, but you should know that I won't stay here forever, and then…"
Qi Lin didn't finish, but the meaning was clear.
He wasn't actually someone who meddled in many affairs, nor did he have much interest in being a savior.
After all, the World is so vast, with myriad Worlds and countless beings. If he had to manage everything, how could he possibly cope?
But alas, Hun Tiandi had already provoked him!
At this point, if he could kill him incidentally, then so be it. It would also be a meritorious deed.
It was just that this was Ancient Dragon Island after all, which was why Qi Lin didn't act immediately but instead prepared to leave the matter to Zhu Kun.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Kun heard this, his eyes instantly narrowed.
He had absolute faith in Qi Lin's words.
Although he didn't know why Qi Lin was so convinced that Hun Tiandi would be a hidden danger.
But since he could be taken so seriously by Qi Lin, there must be a reason.
Therefore… it was better to kill a thousand wrongly than to let one go.
Otherwise, if Qi Lin wasn't around and Hun Tiandi gained power, he would regret it too late.
And almost at the same time, Hun Tiandi's expression changed drastically, and a bone-chilling coldness spread down his spine.
His gaze fixed on Qi Lin, his eyes splitting with rage.
He didn't understand why this person was targeting him so much!
But at this moment, Hun Tiandi didn't hesitate in the slightest. He turned around, and with a "boom," his figure instantly disappeared from the main hall.
He wanted to escape from this place!
But how could Zhu Kun give him this chance?
"So guilty, just as my nephew said, he is indeed a hidden danger."
"It seems I cannot let you live!"
After speaking, Zhu Kun snorted coldly and reached out his hand, pressing down on the air.
In an instant, outside the palace.
The space around Hun Tiandi instantly solidified, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
An intense sense of oppression instantly enveloped Hun Tiandi's entire body, as if he was being crushed by thousands of mountains on his back.
And above his head… a colossal hand slowly descended.
Hun Tiandi, deceased!
