Chapter Eight: Revered as the Divine Ancestor of the Demon Clan!-Selo Divino: Eu, o Ancião Ancestral da Raça Demônica, Saí do Túmulo Arrastando-se(Macarrão instantâneo que ama lanches da meia-noite)

As he spoke, Feng Xiu’s majestic gaze swept over everyone present. Finally, with a look of reverence, he turned to Feng Yun and bowed in the manner of a junior.

"First, this is Feng Yun, my elder sister. She has been in seclusion for quite some time, and having emerged today with an internal spiritual energy of one million, she shall henceforth be honored as the Divine Ancestor of our clan."

"To see the Divine Ancestor is to see me."

Feng Yun nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Feng Xiu’s filial piety. Feng Xiu was far better than that "filial" grand-nephew of hers; she decided she would add two more layers of nails to his coffin later!

One million internal spiritual energy?
The Demon God Emperor’s sister?

The crowd was stunned by these revelations. When did the Demon God Emperor have a sister? When had internal spiritual energy of a million become so easy to cultivate? Yet, they dared not speak, nor did they dare to ask. A powerhouse with a million internal spiritual energy was not someone they could question. The dozens of officials bowed in unison to Feng Yun, saying, "We pay our respects to the Divine Ancestor!"

Immediately after, Feng Xiu gently took Bai Lingxuan’s hand. "The second matter: from this day forward, Lingxuan shall be the Demon Empress of our clan. To see the Demon Empress is to see me!"

Huang Shuo and the others were surprised, as they could perceive that Bai Lingxuan was a human—and a very weak one at that. Huang Shuo did not dare to question anything. As the commander of the Demon Dragon Guard, his loyalty to the Demon God Emperor was absolute. If the Emperor told him to go east, he would not go west; if the Emperor told him to go north, he would not go south.

While Huang Shuo remained silent, the elders of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan were less than pleased to see a human in that position. According to clan law, the Demon Empress had to be the most outstanding woman of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan; she could not be from another race, let alone a human!

From below, the Great Elder, Chao Yong, was the first to speak tactfully: "Your Majesty, this woman is merely a human. This... this is contrary to clan law!"

Seeing the Great Elder stand up so bravely, the Second Elder followed suit: "Indeed, Your Majesty. Furthermore, you are already betrothed; breaking that engagement may damage your reputation."

At this time, Feng Xiu had not yet appointed an empress, but he was bound by a betrothal to one of the most talented women in the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan. In truth, that woman had no desire to marry Feng Xiu. Marrying the Demon God Emperor meant losing her freedom and her right to choose, becoming nothing more than an accessory to his power. As the most gifted woman in the clan, she wanted to achieve things of her own. Had it not been for the coercion of her clan, she would never have agreed to the betrothal. Coincidentally, this woman was the daughter of the Great Elder.

Bai Lingxuan’s heart trembled in disbelief. What? Her lover was betrothed to someone else? Where did that leave her?

Sensing her distress, Feng Xiu gave her a gentle smile. "Do not worry, I will resolve this."

Bai Lingxuan nodded slightly, finally feeling a sense of relief. However, when Feng Xiu’s gaze shifted to the elders below, it instantly turned sharp. "What? Are you defying my decree?"

In an instant, a vast, crushing pressure descended upon the Great and Second Elders. The next second, with a heavy thud, both fell to their knees. They had never expected that the Demon God Emperor would rebuke them just to protect a human woman. They were his elders, older than him, and they had never been treated with such disrespect.

Feng Xiu’s majestic gaze fixated on the Great Elder. "Great Elder, if I recall correctly, your daughter already has a beloved of her own. Were it not for your demands, she would have no desire to marry me. Or is it that you wish to use your own daughter to secure more power for yourself?"

In the Holy Demon Continent, where the strong preyed upon the weak, Feng Xiu was the supreme power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan. Had it not been for the Great Elder’s high standing, he would not have wasted his breath. The words terrified the Great Elder, cold sweat streaming down his face as he bowed low. "This subject would not dare!"

Feng Xiu’s gaze moved coolly to the others. "Does anyone else have objections regarding the cancellation of this engagement?"

"We have no objections."

The dozens of officials were quick to grasp the situation, bowing in unison to Bai Lingxuan. "We pay our respects to the Demon Empress."

This was the first time Bai Lingxuan had witnessed such a scene. Dozens of ninth-tier powerhouses, including top-level experts of the fourth and fifth ranks, bowing to her, a mere seventh-tier novice? She felt lost. Before this, she had only thought of Feng Xiu as her lover. Now, she truly realized that besides being her love, he was the Emperor of the Demon race—the Demon God Emperor!

In her confusion, she instinctively drew closer to Feng Xiu to find a sense of security. "Don't be afraid," Feng Xiu whispered comfortingly.

"Mm." Bai Lingxuan nodded. Her confusion lasted only a moment before she regained her composure. Though she was only in her twenties, she was the pride of the Priest Temple and had experienced high-stakes situations before. She quickly adapted, and as she looked at the ninth-tier powerhouses below, her gaze shifted from confusion to the dignity befitting a Demon Empress.

Noticing the change, Feng Yun nodded slightly. *Good, she is growing quickly.*

*Since that is the case... it is time to discipline the others as well.*

Feng Yun’s indifferent gaze swept over the high-ranking members of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan. Instantly, a soul-shaking pressure erupted.

Thud, thud—

The Great and Second Elders, who had just climbed to their feet, were forced back down. It was not just the dissenting elders; everyone present was pinned to the ground by a pressure that felt almost physical, unable to move. The Great Elder felt his very soul trembling; he felt a primal fear of Feng Yun rising from his bloodline. He wanted to speak, but found himself too terrified to utter a single word!

*A possessor of one million spiritual energy... how truly terrifying!*

"From now on, Lingxuan is my sister. I do not wish to see any of you paying lip service while acting otherwise. Otherwise, death without mercy!" Feng Yun spoke calmly before withdrawing her pressure.

By doing this, Feng Yun was not only establishing authority for Bai Lingxuan but for herself as well. These people likely had no concept of how powerful the realm of a god truly was; she would let them have a small taste.

As the pressure vanished, the Great Elder awoke as if from a nightmare. *Is this the realm of a god? Suppressing dozens of ninth-tier powerhouses with a single look? It’s too frightening!* He didn't even dare to stand, instead shouting loudly, "This subject would never dare to act with duplicity!"

"Very well, you may withdraw," Feng Xiu said coolly. He couldn't help but be even more curious now: just how powerful was his ancestor?

Receiving the command, the high-ranking members of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon clan breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as quickly as they could. The Divine Ancestor was too terrifying! They did not want to stay here for another second.
