Chapter 241 - I Can't Have an Accident Here on Your Watch~

"What…?!"

Hearing this news, Tianshu Xiu was so shocked he shot up from his seat.

The Demon Lord was coming to the Judgment Divine Palace?!

He had never been this nervous in his entire life…!

The Immortal Ancestors of the other great families also all showed their shock, their gazes turning to Tianshu Xiu in unspoken agreement.

Didn't he say the Demon Lord was only here to handle a private matter? Why was he coming to their Judgment Divine Palace...?

To think the one who provoked the Demon Lord was actually the Dao Immortal Clan.

The entire Dao Immortal Clan being wiped out without a single survivor—this was definitely major news that would shake the Heavenly Realm.

They never expected that the Demon Lord would come up to the Heavenly Realm and directly annihilate the entire Dao Immortal Clan…!

Tianshu Xiu couldn't figure it out.

The Dao Immortal Clan, like them, belonged to the reclusive families of the Heavenly Realm. How could they have provoked the Demon Lord…

After annihilating the Dao Immortal Clan, what was his purpose in coming to the Judgment Divine Palace…

Could it be that besides the Dao Immortal Clan, there was someone else present who had provoked the Demon Lord…?

"Aah~ Young Master Potian, you're awful~"

"The Ancestor and the other Lord Immortal Ancestors are here, we can't do this here…"

Just as Tianshu Xiu was pondering the Demon Lord's intentions, a wanton moan attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone subconsciously turned their gazes to a man and a woman sitting in a corner of the council hall.

The man leaned back in his seat, his legs crossed, a sinister and unruly expression on his face.

His cultivation was only at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, yet his whole body exuded an air of superiority and insufferable arrogance.

A woman nestled in the man’s embrace, her clothes revealing and her figure fiery. Her immortal skirt was half-covering, half-revealing, and the two snowy peaks on her chest that seemed ready to burst out were pressed tightly against the man’s body.

The man was also completely uninhibited. Right in front of the Immortal Ancestors of the various great families, he reached his hand into the woman's half-covered tube top and played around wantonly.

The council hall of the Judgment Divine Palace was such a sacred and solemn place, yet such an unsightly, vulgar, and jarring act was being committed!

If it had been anyone else, Tianshu Xiu would have long since slapped these two to death!

But these two before him, he truly could not touch…

The man was the only son of a certain great personage from the Divine Realm…

And the woman was the daughter of the current head of the Nieri Clan, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Nieri Zhuoyao, Nieri Hui'ao.

Recently, Nieri Hui'ao had hooked up with Potian and had greatly won his favor and affection.

Towards Potian, this young master who had come down from the Divine Realm, Tianshu Xiu did not have the slightest liking.

Not only did he not have the slightest disposition of an Immortal seeking the Dao, but on the contrary, he was immersed in debauchery all day, freely womanizing throughout the Heavenly Realm!

In the past few decades, he had already secretly drugged and harmed many female cultivators from prominent clans!

If not for his background, with his early-stage Immortal Emperor cultivation, he probably would have died ten thousand times over already!

The most infuriating part was that he still had to protect this young master and could not let the slightest thing happen to him in the Heavenly Realm!

Normally, just looking at him was an eyesore, and now he was even committing such a lewd act inside the council hall!

As if they didn't even exist!

Just as Tianshu Xiu was about to scold Potian, the words stopped at his lips.

Wait a minute…

Over ten years ago, in order to curry favor with Potian, the Dao Immortal Clan had him stay with them and entertained him lavishly.

It was said that he had taken a fancy to an Empress, and it just so happened that this woman was connected to the Dao Immortal Clan. He wanted to force her to become his cultivation partner.

That Empress had quite a beautiful reputation in the Heavenly Realm. What was her name again…

Luo Ruying…!

Yes, it was her! The girl from the Luo Shen Palace!

He remembered that when the Demon Lord had previously forced his way into the Heavenly Realm, he had also gone to the Heavenly Dao Imperial Palace to inquire about this woman!

At the time, the Demon Lord came and went quickly; he didn't even have time to ask a single question.

The Dao Immortal Clan didn't offer any explanation either, so the matter was left unresolved…

It wasn't until later that the Dao Immortal Clan asked their Immortal Ancestor to come out of seclusion and led the clan's main force to the lower realm in violation of the Heavenly Realm's rules, after which there was no more news…

Now, connecting everything together, Tianshu Xiu suddenly seemed to have understood something. He grabbed the messenger, seized him by the collar, and said:

"Tell me every single detail of what happened!"

The other great Immortal Ancestors from the other families didn't understand why Tianshu Xiu had suddenly become so panicked and urgent.

For a moment, they didn't dare to interrupt.

The man who delivered the message told Tianshu Xiu all about how the Demon Lord had tortured and killed several Dao Immortal Clan disciples, and how he had humiliated the Clan Head, Dao Xian Changjue, forcing him to bow his head and admit his fault to Luo Ruying.

When he heard that a woman had appeared by the Demon Lord's side, holding a little girl in her arms, Tianshu Xiu instantly understood everything…

That woman was very likely the Luo Shen Empress...!

The Demon Lord had led the entire Demon Realm here to get justice for the Luo Shen Empress…!

It was just that he couldn't figure out how the Luo Shen Empress and the Demon Lord could have this kind of relationship…

But this point was not important right now. What was important was that the Demon Lord was leading his great army straight to the Judgment Divine Palace, and he was absolutely coming for Potian!

At this moment, Tianshu Xiu’s heart was filled with endless regret.

If he had discovered the relationship between the Luo Shen Empress and the Demon Lord earlier and had reined in the Dao Immortal Clan a bit, perhaps things would not have developed to this point…

Looking at Potian, who still had an unconcerned, 'hang it high above' attitude, without the slightest sense of crisis or guilt, Tianshu Xiu was suddenly overcome with anger!

Judging by his expression, he absolutely knew why the Demon Lord had ascended to the Heavenly Realm, yet he hadn't said anything, hadn't told him!

The Dao Immortal Clan's path to its current destruction was absolutely inseparable from him, and yet he was still here, seeking pleasure!

Even the group of guards and the two Dao Protectors, Ge Xian and Sheng Ling, who should have been following him, had not appeared recently…

He must have done something else in private…!

"Potian! The Demon Lord has come to my Judgment Divine Palace because of you, hasn't he!"

Tianshu Xiu could no longer tolerate it and roared at Potian.

The other great family Immortal Ancestors present were instantly stunned.

Tianshu Xiu actually dared to scold Potian…

Hearing Tianshu Xiu’s roar, Potian was stunned for a moment, then gave a disdainful smile. He slowly withdrew his caressing hand, stood up, and leisurely walked to the round table.

He said with a completely unconcerned and arrogant expression:

"That's right~”

"The Demon Lord probably did come up to find me~"

"But so what~?"

This extremely arrogant appearance of Potian's made even the other great families present frown deeply, greatly displeased.

Tianshu Xiu desperately suppressed the flames of anger in his heart and demanded:

"You clearly knew the Demon Lord was coming for you, so why didn't you say anything?!"

"Do you have any idea that the Dao Immortal Clan has already been annihilated!"

"The Dao Immortal Clan being annihilated, that's what they deserved!"

"They couldn't even handle the one small matter I asked of them. They deserved to die!"

"Even if that Demon Lord hadn't acted, I would have had someone make the Dao Immortal Clan disappear. They truly are a bunch of useless trash!"

Potian said dismissively, a look of disgust on his face.

His words were filled with dissatisfaction and blame towards the Dao Immortal Clan.

Tianshu Xiu was so angry he clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging!

This animal, he really wanted to slap him to death…!

That was tens of thousands of lives from the Dao Immortal Clan!

A great family power in the Heavenly Realm had disappeared because of him, yet he didn't care or regret it in the slightest!

"Fine! Then let me ask you, the Demon Lord will be here shortly. What are you going to do?"

"Hahaha~"

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Potian suddenly held his stomach and roared with laughter. He then walked up close to Tianshu Xiu’s face, raised his eyebrows smugly and arrogantly, and said:

"Hmph~ What am I to do~"

"Aren't all of you still here~?"

"I'm sure everyone present would be very happy to serve me~"

"After all, I can't have an accident here on your watch~"

"If I were to lose even a single hair, you would all be in deep trouble.”
