This time, the emperor's gaze turned profound as if millions of eons have passed. He chuckled and said with a deep voice, "Yanlu Rou, I don't think you know what kind of situation you are in right now."

Yanlu Rou's brows knitted. But she didn't say anything. She wanted the other party to finish what he was trying to say.

The emperor looked at the whole army of the family, then towards the Rou family which consisted of four members right now and spoke, "We are here because we want this place, this treasure trove called True State Universe."

Indeed. True State Universe was called a vast treasure trove just next to the strongest universe of the five, the Prime State Universe. With all the treasures that could be found here, it was obvious that the devils would try to eat everything here. Of course, it's not the main agenda of these devils here.

"So you want to oust our family and be replaced by you devils?" Yanlu Rou's face was getting dark. She was a prideful being, how could she let this devil run off his mouth so much? Unfortunately, she couldn't just attack at all. She needed to tread carefully or it might be the end of her family.

"Oust you?" The devil emperor created a creepy laugh and answered, "We are not going to oust you. We will annihilate every member of your family and connected to it, until we deeply uprooted your clan here in this universe."

Hearing this, Yanlu Rou almost flinched ftom surprise. The audacity of this devil to say such words right in front of her!

"But of course, there will be an exception." The emperor spoke once again, "If your family swears an allegiance to our clan, then I won't mind sparing you. Don't worry, there will be no opposing here. My words are the law and everyone in my clan shall abide it."

It's not just an empty allegiance, he was pertaining. He meant that the family should sign a pact and any retaliation would kill the people who pledged.

"Hah. Aren't you cocky, Patrosh?" Yanlu Rou was extremely mad. This devil emperor was threatening her right in her territory!

The emperor was surprised that Yanlu Rou knew his name. However, it was just for a brief moment, "Looks like you know our clan, Yanlu Rou."

"With how long I live, do you think I still didn't know what the universes could offer? Not just your universe, even Prime's, I have seen it all." Yanlu Rou sneered, "But how about you? Surely, you must have stayed in your safe palace not daring to come out because of humiliation of the past."

"It is all in the past. Now, we shall make your universe our stepping stone towards our universal domination in all universes." The emperor opened his arms and spoke with pride, "Us devils have grown stronger and stronger. Not just that, we are going to be the strongest soon!"

The devils cheered after the emperor. It looked like they were already assured that the victory was in the bag.

However, just when they were cheering, an ice block descended down to them. However, they easily tore the block to pieces.

"I shall assume that attack is your answer, Yanlu Rou." The emperor said.

"Patrosh, enough talking. If you want to fight, then fight. You keep on blabbing like a woman." Yanlu Rou coldly said, "But let me tell you this. You're going to regret opposing my family."

"Why, because of your young king?" The emperor smiled, "I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I presume that as of now, your grandson has already died elsewhere. Who knows?"

After that, a flash suddenly appeared from the Rou's. It was directly heading towards the emperor.

"Clang!" Xu Rou swung her light sword against the emperor, but he successfully blocked it. However, it didn't end there. Xu Rou activated a formation and created a lotus with the two of them. After which, the lotus' petals circulated around and created light beams that directly targeted the emperor.

The emperor didn't say anything and just blocked all the incoming attacks of the lady.

"Whoosh!" Next, Fan Rou joined the fray and gave a torrential triple waves of fire towards his enemy. Unfortunately, the emperor has blocked it once again.

"It seems that I have triggered something." The emperor smiled and spoke casually.

The husband and wife's expression was dark and cold. Xu Rou's usual joyful appearance was nowhere to be seen as it was filled with hatred. Not just that, in the deepest part of her eyes, there was a hidden grief and extreme sadness that she was keeping in check.

Fan Rou was also the same. That's why he didn't stop his wife from attacking.

"Where did you bring my son?" Xu Rou's very cold voice dropped the sky's temperature to the lowest level.

"I don't know. Only Demure knows where your son is. However, I don't think your son can defeat someone of Demure's level. So you can assume that he is now dead." The emperor answered the question.

"My grandson is... dead?" Yanlu Rou tried to expand her radar towards the whole place. However, there wasn't any sign of Jin Rou. Her shoulders were flinching from extreme hatred rage.

"My son isn't that weak to be defeated by the likes of you." Fan Rou said confidently, "My son is the most talented child of all the five universes. It's not your time to kill someone of my son's caliber."

Hearing this, Xu Rou eventually calmed down and her rationality was retrieved. Indeed, their son was so meticulous and cunning. How could he let himself die just like that?

The emperor grew a bit unease hearing this. He knew himself that Demure has died. However, he wasn't sure if Demure has successfully did his job or not. Now, he was getting unease as he was almost believing that his henchman had failed. historical

But, it wasn't the time to stray his thoughts. There were more important things that needed to be settled here.
