“However, what does it matter if he comes? Isn't he just going to embarrass himself?”
“Exactly! If it were me, I wouldn’t come either, knowing that my disciple's skills in the four arts are not as good as ours.”
“Exactly! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't come. Knowing that his disciples' four arts skills are inferior to those from the Human Race Star Domain and Beast Clan Star Domain, yet still coming here—wouldn't that be self-deprecating?”
“Brother Zhang, that's not quite right. What if the Four Arts Star Domain can win? Ah hahahaha!”
“Win? Win at what? Even if the sun rises from the west, the Four Arts Star Domain won't win…”
“……”
The hushed discussions of the supreme saint elders clearly reached Dao Kun's ears.
As Dao Kun flew down to the Star Domain Dojo, his face darkened ominously. He suddenly soared into the air, entering the sixth floor of the Ancestral Tower, and appeared before the thirty-five supreme saint elders, his rage surging explosively.
Dao Kun glared at the elders and said sternly, “All of you, shut your mouths! Anyone who is unconvinced can challenge me right now!”
In response to Dao Kun's reprimand, the supreme saint elders laughed heartily:
“Tsk tsk, how terrifying! Dao Kun, we know that among the thirty-six supreme saint elders of our palace, you rank first in strength and that no one can match you in a one-on-one fight. However, today we are not in the Star Domain Battle Arena!”
“Exactly! Dao Kun, what are you trying to show off for? If you're capable, let your disciples win the four arts competition later!”
“If your Four Arts Star Domain can win, we will all apologize to you! But unfortunately, your Four Arts Star Domain can't possibly win. Oh, how unfortunate! I wanted to apologize, but it seems I won't have the chance.”
“……”
The sharp and mocking voices entered Dao Kun's ears. He coldly swept his gaze over the supreme saint elders, suppressing his anger, and took a seat between Dao Qian and Dao Zi.
“Third junior brother, long time no see.” Dao Qian glanced at Dao Kun and said lightly, “A moment ago, you were quite imposing! But I wonder if your disciples will be as impressive during the four arts contest?”
“Exactly!” Dao Zi raised a cup of fine wine, took a sip, and looked at Dao Kun, saying, “Third junior brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but why did you even come here? Aren't you embarrassed enough already?”
Dao Kun, who usually had a fiery temper, was infuriated to the point of nearly exploding!
“Whoosh!”
“Bang!”
Dao Kun grabbed his wine cup and suddenly stood up, brutally smashing the cup against Dao Zi’s nose as he roared, “Don’t call me junior brother! I am not your junior brother!”
“Bang!”
In front of everyone's incredulous eyes, Dao Kun unexpectedly turned around and gave Dao Qian a slap across the face!
Immediately, blood trickled from the corner of Dao Qian's mouth, and Dao Zi also had blood flowing from his nostrils.
Silence.
The entire venue fell into a hushed quiet!
Dao Kun abruptly turned back, glaring at the supreme saint elders, and said forcefully, “I warn you all, don't go looking for trouble today, or else…”
Before Dao Kun could finish, the vice palace master, Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, sitting on the seventh floor of the Ancestral Tower, spoke in a commanding tone, “Dao Kun, you are quite the imposing one.”
“Do you think this vice palace master is just air?”
Upon hearing this, Dao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, cupped his fists, and looked up respectfully at the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon, saying, “I had no intention of disrespecting you.”
“That's best.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon looked down at Dao Kun and the other supreme saint elders and said without a hint of doubt, “You are all the pillars of our palace. Acting like this in front of the disciples is utterly disgraceful!”
“From now on, everyone behave themselves around this vice palace master. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
