"Lord Fantuan, are you trying to start a war directly?" the Emperor of the Xifas Kingdom stepped forward and shouted. Among the three kingdoms present, the Xifas Kingdom possessed the strongest power and the greatest confidence.
Seeing the Emperors of the three kingdoms preparing to get serious, the expressions of Fantuan Lord's generals changed. Even the burly man who was always respectful to Fantuan Lord whispered, "My Lord..."
The Chaotic Domain had always been coveted by surrounding kingdoms due to its rich resources. However, due to the extreme conditions of the chaotic city, it had never been conquered by anyone. Therefore, the residents here were all unruly! But this time, facing the combined offensive of three kingdoms, they also panicked.
Fantuan Lord's innocent and cute big eyes showed a hint of coldness. Facing the three Emperors, he showed no fear. However, if the three kingdoms were to send two more Emperors, making it five against one, his chances of winning would be slim. Furthermore, the Lex Alliance, which he had finally managed to rule, would disintegrate under the siege of the three kingdoms.
In a moment of thought, a figure appeared in Fantuan Lord's mind, imposing and invincible, facing tens of thousands of enemies...
"Don't be afraid, they are just some small animals. Let's roast them..."
Suddenly, Fantuan Lord seemed to hear a familiar voice. He was stunned, then abruptly turned his head to look not far away. A tall, upright figure stood among the crowd, seemingly integrated with heaven and earth. He was standing there, yet it felt impossible to capture his presence.
Fantuan Lord's eyes erupted with boundless joy, his eyes even moistening. At this moment, the Demon Emperor, known for his ferocity in the chaotic city, acted like a small child. Everyone around was surprised. The three Emperors also paused, mistaking Fantuan Lord's reaction for fear, and a smile appeared on their faces.
However, in the next moment, terrifying demonic power erupted from Fantuan Lord again, the fluctuating pressure causing the surrounding crowd's legs to tremble.
"If it's war, then let it be!" His unparalleled dominance formed a stark contrast to his dazed and cute appearance. Everyone present was instantly subdued. This was the true image of the chaotic city's Demon Emperor, who appeared harmless but killed without blinking.
At this moment, his generals, who had been worried and hesitant, no longer tried to dissuade him. Instead, they straightened their backs and stood behind Fantuan Lord.
The gazes of the three Emperors sharpened, and their expressions changed. How could he suddenly become so powerful after appearing like a wronged child just moments ago?
The scene became quiet, and a killing atmosphere filled the surroundings.
"Hahaha... Lord Fantuan, we have not come to the Lex Alliance to wage war. Why don't you invite us into your imperial palace, have a good chat, and then we can make a decision?" the Emperor of the Jiama Kingdom stepped forward to mediate. His words also somewhat diffused the tension.
Fantuan Lord glanced to the side, then said coldly, "Then, please!" With that, he led his generals and walked into the imperial palace first, showing no courtesy to the three kingdoms.
The Emperors of the three kingdoms noticed Fantuan Lord's glance and followed his gaze, but they saw nothing unusual. With a mix of surprise and awkwardness, they followed him into the palace.
As their figures disappeared into the imperial palace, noisy discussions erupted from the surroundings.
"As expected of our Demon Emperor, he actually subdued the three Emperors!"
"Others see our Demon Emperor as cute and dazed like a child, but the number of demon kings he has killed is countless. Rumor has it he even killed an Emperor..."
"Is that true? So terrifying? Emperors can be defeated, but it's very difficult to kill them!"
"This seems true. Although the Demon Emperor calls himself Lord Fantuan, he is respected outside as the Chaotic Demon Emperor!!!"
"Speaking of which, if their three kingdoms attack us, can we really hold them off? The combined strength of the three kingdoms is far greater than ours..."
"Yes! The most important thing is that they have five Emperors behind them, a full five of them!"
"Alas! I always have a bad feeling..."
"If they come, we fight. Anyway, I've already died once. Besides the chaotic city, I have nowhere else to go!"
"Exactly, it's also death to go out. It's better to die quickly in the chaotic city!"
...
"My Lord, do you know Lord Fantuan?" Yan couldn't help but ask. Bai Lao and Huo had just noticed Fantuan Lord's gaze. They were sure he was looking at them, or rather, at the mysterious Emperor beside them!
Bai Ye nodded gently. "Yes, an old acquaintance."
The few of them believed him without question. With Bai Ye's strength, it wasn't uncommon for him to know Emperors of the same level. However, Fantuan Lord's gaze just now didn't seem like he was looking at an ordinary acquaintance?
The discussions between the three kingdoms and the Krais Alliance were ongoing, but it temporarily had nothing to do with them. The group continued to queue up to process their residency procedures.
The procedures went smoothly. After paying five or six magic crystals, Bai Lao and the others successfully became citizens under the protection of the Lex Alliance.
Not long after, the Emperors of the Jiama Kingdom, the Xifas Kingdom, and the Malai Kingdom emerged from the imperial palace with gloomy expressions, hurriedly leading their retinues away from the chaotic city. This again led to much discussion among the city's residents.
"My Lord, let's find a place to settle down first..."
"Huh! Where is My Lord?"
As they watched the Emperors of the three kingdoms depart, Bai Lao and the others snapped back to attention, only to find that Bai Ye had mysteriously disappeared from their side.
On the rooftop of the imperial palace, Fantuan Lord rushed up the stairs. As he burst through the stairwell and saw that familiar, upright figure, his emotions could no longer be contained, and tears streamed from his big eyes.
"Boss!!!"
Fantuan Lord rushed forward and jumped onto Bai Ye, now resembling a child who had missed home for a long time. He was the little national treasure, Little Fantuan, from the Crouching Dragon Ranch. In the Taites world, he could also be called the Yin-Yang Demonic Beast, a very powerful race.
"Good boy!" Bai Ye patted his little head, a smile of relief on his face. This little fellow not only survived in the Taites world but also saw his strength soar. He was now a proper Emperor! Far ahead of Gou Dan and Da Peng!
"You're an Emperor now, what are you crying about?" Bai Ye teased. "You are the Demon Emperor of the chaotic city."
"Boss, I missed you so much! Wuwuwu..." However, Little Fantuan completely disregarded his status as the King of the Chaotic Domain.
"I secretly went to the passage a few times, but there was a powerful guy guarding it, and the passage was always closed. Otherwise, I would have come back to find you long ago!"
"Boss, you're still so powerful. Even though I'm an Emperor now, I still can't see through your strength!"
"Oh, right, Gou Dan, Sister Lidiya, and Da Peng, are they not coming?"
"Mm. Gou Dan and Da Peng are guarding our ranch, and Lidiya she..."
"What?" Upon hearing that Lidiya had been captured, Little Fantuan, who had been crying and looking pitiful and dazed, immediately jumped down from Bai Ye's arms. His big eyes were filled with fierce light. The terrifying aura radiating from him clearly indicated that he had killed many enemies during this time!
"Did the Elven race capture Sister Lidiya? I'll immediately take my subordinates to attack the Elven stronghold and rescue Sister Lidiya!"
"She's probably not with the Elven race. The Elven Emperor Ruichiu who captured Lidiya is dead and did not return to the Elven race. The one who took her was likely that mysterious powerful individual. I'm still investigating... I happened to hear about you on the way."
"Hmm! Then I'll do whatever boss says. Hehe~ Boss, I'm very imposing now, just like you!"
Bai Ye smiled, "Not bad!"
"Hehe..."
"I can send some people to search for information about Sister Lidiya now, but the Xifas, Jiama, and Malai kingdoms are likely to start a war soon, so we can't conduct a full-scale search. It might take some time. They have five Emperors, so they do have some underlying strength. However, with boss here, it shouldn't be a problem, right? Boss?"
Bai Ye smiled faintly, "Of course, it's not a problem. Then I'll just incorporate those three kingdoms into your alliance."
