The Dutian Clan was bestowed this title because their ancestor had made great contributions during the invasion of the Demon Clan.
The Dutian Clan of the past was completely different from the current Dutian Clan. When the Demon Clan broke through the defenses of the Rosefinch Army, the Dutian Clan's ancestor had displayed fearless courage during the great battle.
That was why the Human Emperor had bestowed them with the title of Dutian.
Zhu Que respected the Dutian Clan of the past. However, in Zhu Que's eyes, the current Dutian Clan was just a bunch of unscrupulous vermin.
They looked powerful, but they couldn't even withstand a single blow!
The maids knew that they had said something wrong and immediately fell silent. However, in their eyes, even though the Dutian Clan had "fallen" to its current state, its foundation was still extremely deep. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become one of the overlords of the Southern Land.
"Lady Zhu Que, please excuse us for not going out to welcome you." At this moment, hundreds of flying lights arrived and landed in front of Zhu Que's shuttle.
These hundreds of people were almost all King Realm experts, and there were even dozens of Immortal Realm experts. These people were releasing their auras without any scruples.
When they connected together, Shui Yuewu and the others in Zhu Que's shuttle felt oppressed. How was this a welcome? This was clearly a show of strength!
"How dare you be so rude in front of the Lady!" Shui Yuewu walked out.
"It's not that we're rude." Du Tianyue smiled and said, "It's just that the Dutian Clan has its own rules. Forgive us for not being able to welcome you."
"What rules?" Shui Yuewu asked angrily.
"Naturally, it's the rules of the titled Dutian Clan," Du Tianyue said. Du Tianyue said, "Other than Lord Vermillion Bird, everyone must disembark from the flying shuttle before entering the city!"
"Is this how the Dutian Clan treats its guests?" Shui Yuewu was furious. This was clearly a provocation.
"No, these are the rules of the Great Sky City. You are not qualified to fly into the Great Sky Clan," Du Tianyue said directly.
Although they were talking about Shui Yuewu, everyone knew that slapping Shui Yuewu's face was equivalent to slapping the ninth generation Zhu Que's face.
Before Zhu Que arrived, the Dutian Clan was already prepared. If the Third World War hadn't started, they naturally wouldn't dare to treat the commander of the Rosefinch Army and the defender of the Southern Border this way!
However, things were different now. In the eyes of the Dutian Clan, Zhu Que had already violated a taboo of the human race and would soon incur the wrath of the demon race.
As the ninth Zhu Que, it was impossible for her to hold the position for long. Apart from the Human Emperor Palace, no one dared to wage an all-out war against the demons.
However, even Zhu Que only had control over the Rosefinch Army. She could make decisions on small scale battles.
However, to wage an all-out war against the demons, the Human Emperor's decree was required. Even the Human Emperor Palace in the Southern Border didn't dare to make decisions on their own!
Once they lost Zhu Que's authority, the ninth generation Zhu Que was just an expert who was difficult to deal with in the eyes of the Dutian Clan.
It was simply a fool's dream to contend with the Dutian Clan, which had a heritage of ten thousand years!
That was why Dou Tianyue had said those words. The so-called rules were just to beat the dog when it was down and to make the Vermilion Bird lose face.
Shui Yuewu and the others naturally understood what Du Tianyue meant. They were so angry that they ground their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. After all, the current situation was as such. Offending the Dutian Clan would only put Zhu Que in an even more passive position.
"Everyone, please disembark the flying shuttle. The Dutian Clan will naturally act as a host." Du Tianyue laughed when he saw their expressions.
How had these bastards treated him when he was outside Zhu Que's valley? Now, he had finally gotten back at her for what she had done to him!
"Humph, rules?" Zhu Que raised her hand, and Zhu Que's flying shuttle suddenly lit up with a dazzling light that almost enveloped the entire Dutian City, covering a radius of several hundred miles.
It hung in the sky like a small sun, and a pair of fiery red wings spread out behind Zhu Que. Her entire body was the core of this sun.
The Dutian Clan members, led by Du Tianyue, immediately felt a terrifying burning sensation on their bodies. Those King Realm experts didn't even have time to react before they fell to the ground like kites with their strings cut.
"Lord Zhu Que, what are you doing?" Du Tianyue's expression was extremely ugly.
They hadn't expected that Zhu Que would be so domineering even though she was asking for help from the Dutian Clan. Du Tianyue couldn't even protect himself, so he naturally couldn't care about the King Realm experts around him.
"As the Commander-in-Chief of the Rosefinch Army in the Southern Territory and the Ninth Generation Zhu Que personally conferred by the Human Emperor, I've entered your Dutian Clan's territory for more than several thousand miles, but no one came to welcome me. What a grand display!" Zhu Que said expressionlessly, "Now, you're actually talking to me about rules? Then I'd like to talk to you about rules."
"No … we don't dare. We're just following the rules. Moreover, we don't know when Lord Zhu Que will arrive, nor do we know where Lord Zhu Que will enter the territory. That's why …" Du Tianyue broke out in cold sweat.
Although he admitted defeat verbally, he had already cursed Zhu Que's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. "Damned bitch, there will be a time when you'll beg the Dutian Clan!"
"Where's Dutian Yunhou?" Zhu Que said, "Tell him to come out and see me!"
Du Tianyue was stunned. He thought that since Zhu Que had come to beg the Dutian Clan, she would definitely lower her status. Even if she had just made a move, she would quickly withdraw it.
However, he didn't expect that not only did Zhu Que have no intention of withdrawing her move, she even directly called the head of the Dutian Clan to come out and see her in front of countless people in Dutian City.
For a moment, Du Tianyue didn't know how to react.
Under the terrifying spiritual pressure, Du Tianyue couldn't even breathe. If this continued, not only would he not be able to show off his strength, he might not even be able to save the face of the Dutian Clan.
"Ninth Generation Zhu Que, what a grand display." At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded. Only the voice could be heard, but the person couldn't be seen.
Following which, an aura that wasn't any weaker than Zhu Que's burst out. The dazzling light was quickly forced back by the sound waves.
Only then did Du Tianyue and the others' expressions soften a little. They quickly retreated to the top of the city wall.
Zhu Que frowned and said, "Old bastard, you're so timid that you don't even dare to show your face?"
"Haha, Ninth Generation Zhu Que has arrived at Dutian Clan. We naturally have to welcome you. However, Ninth Generation Zhu Que, don't forget that Dutian Clan is a titled clan that was personally conferred by His Majesty the Human Emperor. Our status isn't any lower than yours, Ninth Generation Zhu Que," Dutian Yunhou said.
"I, Dutian Yunhou, am the successor of the titled clan. All the more I don't need to come out and welcome you!"
"So you're saying that you're going to hide inside and not come out?" Zhu Que said. "That's good. It doesn't matter whether you come out or not!"
Du Tianyue was stunned. He didn't know what Zhu Que meant. Even the voices in Dutian City fell silent.
This seemed to be a little different from what they had expected.
"Anyway, I'm not going to enter your bullshit Dutian City!" Zhu Que said directly.
"What do you mean?" Dutian Yunhou asked, puzzled.
