Imperial Realm.

Front Mountain.

On the martial training field, already reduced to ruins due to the descent of the Void Behemoth, Di Jie gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength and courage, and approached the Void Behemoth, speaking in a low voice: "Sir... Sir, I have a matter I wish to discuss with you."

As the prospective father-in-law, Di Jie addressed himself as ’I’ and referred to Hu Zong as ’you’, it can be imagined how lowly he positioned himself.

Indeed, the ninth rank power of the Grand Cosmos World cannot compare to the eighth rank power, the gap is insurmountable, even more so, the current Di Family doesn’t even count as a ninth rank power anymore, and more than ninety percent of its strong members have been slaughtered by Su Chen.

Due to various reasons combined, the current Di Family marrying into the Hu Family is like climbing a hundred times higher than high, Di Jie is truly anxious, lacking confidence!

"Speak." Hu Zong glanced at Di Jie, barely acknowledging him, and replied coolly. He didn’t need to, in Hu Zong’s view, Di Jie is no father-in-law or anything like that, Di Jie doesn’t qualify. The reason he lowered himself to marry Di Deijin is solely because Di Deijin is exceptional, unrelated to the Di Family.

Di Deijin’s extraordinarily stunning beauty, within the entire Four Clouds Sector, can securely rank in the top ten of the sector’s goddess listings. You have to realize, the martial cultivators in the entire Four Clouds Sector number well over trillion? Regardless, Di Deijin is the most beautiful woman Hu Zong has ever seen, her beauty is intoxicating, her beauty makes one’s heart quiver, he was completely captivated just meeting her once.

Precisely because of this, he exerted immense energy to investigate Di Deijin’s background, disregarding the poverty and weakness of the Di Family, being unyielding in marrying Di Deijin.

Of course, apart from Di Deijin’s extraordinarily stunning beauty, her talent for martial cultivation is equally frightening. When he accidentally encountered Di Deijin in the void, with just a fleeting glance, he discovered that Di Deijin was at the eighth layer of the Human Lord Realm.

To know, at that time, even he, Hu Zong, was only at the ninth layer of the Human Lord Realm!

In comparison, Di Deijin comes from the tiny Di Family that doesn’t even count as a ninth rank power, whereas he, Hu Zong, is the young master of the eighth rank Hu Family. Their identity, status, and martial cultivation resources are incomparable, yet Di Deijin is merely one minor realm below him, her talent for martial cultivation is truly terrifying.

Of course, concerning Di Deijin’s talent for martial cultivation, it’s no longer significant. According to information he received, Di Deijin has already consumed the Soul-Locking Pill because of this old thing here, from now on, martial cultivation has nothing to do with Di Deijin, no matter what her talent for martial cultivation.

Which is well. Hu Zong is enamored only with Di Deijin’s extraordinary beauty, not being able to cultivate in martial arts is actually a good thing.

"Sir... Sir... Sir, lately the Di Family has suffered terrible hardships because of a young fellow, now, within the entire Di Family, except for myself and the Old Ancestors, along with Fei Jin, there isn’t a fourth being in the Human Lord Realm." Di Jie, although embarrassed, still spoke out.

As he spoke, all the martial cultivators standing beside and behind Hu Zong flashed surprise, disdain, and amusement in their eyes, unequivocally expressed...

Di Family’s weakness is known to them, but who would have thought it has reached such a level?

The entire family has so few in the Human Lord Realm?

To know, their family, whether a ninth rank power or eighth rank power, within the family nearly everyone is above the Human Lord Realm.

"Useless!" Hu Zong slightly frowned, though the Di Family being this weak doesn’t concern him, his interest lies in Di Deijin, whether the Di Family is weak or not has nothing to do with him, but Di Jie mentioning it at this moment made him somewhat lose face. After all, to others, the Di Family is marrying into the Hu Family.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Di Jie hurriedly nodded, not daring to express any dissatisfaction, Hu Zong calling the Di Family along with himself as useless feels warranted, proper, and indeed the fact.

"That young man who slaughtered your Di family strong members, what’s his name? What’s the situation? Speak." Hu Zong casually said, thinking Di Jie raised it wishing for his help in revenge.

"Sir, that little scum is already dead, he was called Su Chen, not yet five hundred years old, when he died, he was... at the Great Dao Realm."

Hu Zong’s frown grew tighter, his gaze turned sharp: "Di Jie!!! I respect you for being Fei Jin’s father! But if you are spouting nonsense, I can kill you here and now!"

Hu Zong was genuinely displeased.

He thought Di Jie was talking nonsense.

Great Dao Realm?

A kid at the Great Dao Realm managed to slaughter all the Human Lord Realm martial cultivators of the Di Family? Haha... this joke isn’t funny at all.

What on earth is Great Dao Realm? At least, in Hu Zong’s life so far, he hasn’t encountered anyone at the Great Dao Realm.

In any power in the Grand Cosmos World, even slaves, even songstresses, surpass the Great Dao Realm, even an ant or bedbug is above Great Dao Realm.

Great Dao Realm, to martial cultivators in the Grand Cosmos World, is an extremely extremely unfamiliar term.

"Sir, I... I wouldn’t dare deceive you even with a thousand guts! That fellow truly was at the Great Dao Realm, but his strength was very strange, generally, he could instantly wipe out the fifth and sixth level of the Human Lord Realm!" Di Jie hurriedly explained.

"Do you believe, this young lord would believe it? Spanning dozens of minor realms? The fellow you mention, is he possibly more monstrous than Miss Yang beside me?" Hu Zong snorted coldly, disdainful to the extreme.

"Hahaha..." The dozens of young men behind Hu Zong also burst out laughing, looking at Di Jie like a fool.

"Moreover, if the fellow you mention was truly that monstrous, why is he dead? In this world, the most top-level monsters possess great fortune, the so-called geniuses who die at random are merely garbage." Hu Zong shook his head, bored.

"This..." Di Jie dared not refute, his intent was not to emphasize how strong or monstrous Su Chen was, as Hu Zong said, Su Chen is dead, all of that is insignificant now. What he meant to express was that the Di Family had nearly no martial cultivators above the Human Lord Realm left... This is the crucial point.

Taking a deep breath, Di Jie could only speak directly: "Sir, My... my point is, for the third hurdle in the marriage procession, the Di Family currently has no strong individuals capable of fulfilling sending procession and gatekeeping roles."

Finished speaking, Di Jie awkwardly lowered his head.

This was the message he wanted to convey.

Embarrassment was irrelevant, mainly, if he didn’t mention it in advance, he feared when the third hurdle arrived, seeing how the procession and gatekeepers were not even in the Human Lord Realm would insult, entertain, and infuriate Hu Zong and his retinue.

"Hmm. Useless!!!" Hu Zong couldn’t help but curse again.

Lacking competent individuals for procession and gatekeeping. The Di Family, weak enough to disgust.

If not for Di Deijin’s extraordinarily stunning visage, captivating him too profoundly, he’d turn and leave directly.

Di Family and Hu Family’s union, truly an insult to the Hu Family! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"I’m aware. If things don’t work, for the third hurdle, the procession and gatekeeping shall be canceled." Hu Zong considered for a moment, remarking, anyway, the procedures for the marriage procession aren’t significant, the sooner they fetch Di Deijin, the sooner they return to the Hu Family is genuine, spending time at the Di Family feels ominous, too weak, too trashy.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sir." Di Jie breathed easier.
