Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1115 - 145: The Future Worries

The ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty stood tall and strong with a broad back, emanating a presence that felt like it could devour mountains and rivers!

Dressed in a Nine Dragons Robe and wearing the Heavenly Dragon Crown atop his head, his features were imposing, and his aura so powerful that one could not help but want to kneel before him.

This was an emperor of immense dominance!

Indeed, it was so; if the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had not been so dominant in character, with ambitions as vast as the heavens, he would not have become the revitalizing leader of the Dynasty, nor would he have reached the pinnacle of power.

At that moment, the sovereign's gaze turned piercing as he suddenly turned around, his pupils, filled with divine authority, looked towards his beloved daughter—Princess Xidie.

He called out her name, voicing the thoughts within Princess Xidie's heart, clearly, as her father, he knew everything she had experienced.

"Indeed, Father, you already know everything." Princess Xidie's eyes sparkled, for there were always experts of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty by her side to protect and report her movements to the emperor.

This was also to prevent a repeat of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights incident.

"A loose cultivator with no background or status has so captured your heart?" The sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty examined Princess Xidie with stern eyes.

"Gu Bai, he saved my life. That day, when I was captured by the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, if not for Gu Bai, Father, you wouldn't be able to see your daughter now," Princess Xidie said softly.

The sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty stood with a majestic demeanor, his aura extremely potent, for he was, after all, the ruler of billions of miles of rivers and mountains, and even more so, a supreme being in his own right—this was already him exercising great restraint.

Otherwise, no one could stand in his presence, all would be crushed into dust by his terrifying pressure.

"So, is this the reason you admire him, merely because he saved you once?" the emperor asked in a resonant voice, his brow slightly furrowing at her words.

"It's not just that," Princess Xidie shook her head gently and said, "While that incident is related, it's not the only reason. As for how Gu Bai truly is, you will understand once you meet him, Father."

"Why should I meet him?" the ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, overwhelming even in his calm, asked his beloved daughter.

Princess Xidie bit her lip slightly, hesitating for a long while before finally saying, "Please, Father, for your daughter's sake, grant Gu Bai a place to enter the ancestral land."

Upon saying this, she knelt to the ground with a thud, pleading with the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Seeing this scene, the sovereign's eyes condensed slightly. He had always greatly doted on Princess Xidie. Ever since she was small, he had never reprimanded the Tenth Princess, not even spoken a harsh word to her.

Princess Xidie had been sharp and intelligent since childhood, never inciting the anger of the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. Had she not been a daughter, the emperor might have even considered her to succeed the throne.

Of course, being born a daughter was one aspect, but more importantly, Princess Xidie herself had no such aspirations.

Over the past twenty-odd years, father and daughter had shared a good relationship. But unexpectedly, today, Princess Xidie, for the sake of a man, was willing to provoke his anger, even kneeling down to beg fervently.

Even as a supreme being, the sight before him made the heart of the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty slightly heavy!

"What about him is worth so much to you? The young man saved you, and whatever he wants, I, as your Father, can give to him. From now on, the two of you should draw a clear line," the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty said coldly, his anger beginning to surface.

"Father, please do not force your daughter," Princess Xidie firmly knelt on the ground, her tone resolute and unwavering.

"Are you threatening Us?" the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's countenance darkened, and the entire sleeping palace seemed to tremble subtly with invisible divine authority, as dark clouds gathered overhead.

This was the mark of a supreme being, whose every word and action conformed to the trajectory of the great Dao, akin to a deity to other cultivators.

"Your daughter dares not," Princess Xidie knelt there, slightly bowing her head, her voice calm yet maintaining her stance.

The sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty glared at his beloved daughter intently for a good ten breaths, his gaze exceedingly stern. Yet ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to be too harsh, only managing to say in a deep voice, "Do you realize that Gu Bai does not have you in his heart, that all of this is but unrequited affection on your part?"

This was the root of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty sovereign's anger.

In his eyes, his daughter was so exceptional, having given so much, yet the young man remained unmoved, caring not for Princess Xidie herself, even going so far as to challenge her father, the emperor. Naturally, it was difficult for him to accept.

Imagine, this was his most doted-on daughter, perfect in every way!

"Your daughter is aware and understands this very clearly," Princess Xidie replied.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Brilliance Dynasty sovereign felt a surge of anger and even a hint of incredulous laughter. Looking at his most cherished, pearl-like Tenth Princess, he said, "Knowing this, you are still willing to sacrifice for him? Does he even realize you've gone to such lengths for him, to the point of almost turning against your own father?"

Princess Xidie, clad in palace attire with flowing sleeves, knelt on the ground and spoke softly, "Your daughter does not need him to know, all of this is my own free will, from the heart, and has nothing to do with Gu Bai."

Hearing these words, the anger of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty sovereign grew stronger, his displeasure plainly showing. A ripple of his energy seeped out, and thunder roared across the heavens above, the rumbling sounds deafening!
