"You dare, junior! If you touch her in any way that hurts her, I will make sure your road to hell won't be a pleasant one. I also know you are not strong enough to take us all, let alone me," The Krisen King fumed as his eyes quivered in rage.
Everyone could feel the intense killing intent radiating from the Krisen King to the point some of the young and weaker ones fainted on the spot.
However, it was also true that this hooded guy was definitely not stronger than the strongest person here in the hall and also not older than some of the experts here. But the youngsters wondered why none of the experts were taking any action, including even the Krisen King.
"Father-in-law, it might be true I might be a tad bit weaker than you, but an expert like your respected self also knows that the talismans I have placed on your daughter will make her ethereal core explode the moment someone tries to suppress or surround me with their ethereal energy. So as long as I don't remove these talismans from their bodies, not even that old fart with the title of the strongest emperor in the continent can raise a finger against me, hehe," The hooded man said with unrestrained confidence, making everyone look at him as if he was a dead man.
However, they secretly took a sneak at the Xeton Emperor to see if he would take any action, and shockingly what the hooded man said seemed to be true.
His threat was genuine, and the lives of the princesses were at stake. Only now they realized that the Xeton Emperor, along with the other experts, didn't take any action and seemed helpless because they knew this fact.
Surely these old monsters who had lived and cultivated for centuries must know about certain talismans like this.
But still, naturally, Ruthren and the other experts wouldn't simply sit still and do nothing and were already sending messages mentally to inform their people outside to get ready to take down this bold but foolish intruder.
However, to their confusion, none of their messages seemed to be reaching anyone outside. It was as if everyone outside were either sleeping or disappeared, though both cases seemed impossible.

It just won't work, and nobody outside will know what's going on while I am here," The hooded man said as if he read their minds, making their expressions quite ugly, wondering how one man was capable of all this.
What exactly was his identity? How could he make a hall filled with powerhouses from around the continent helpless enough to not even raise a finger against him?
"Enough of your nonsense. If you know what you are doing, then why haven't you run away yet? Is it because you know you would die the moment you get out of here?" The Gale Emperor asked with a scowl, thinking that this was just a piss poor attempt of some crazy fellow who was probably too much infatuated with the two princesses.
He already knew about cases where powerful men would go crazy upon getting rejected by the women of their dreams and would do anything to get revenge on them.
He just couldn't think of any other reason for this hooded man's motives.
Ruthren was still maintaining his silence though his eyes were radiating a dangerous light.
"Shut up, you lusty dog. How could a dick head like you possibly comprehend my grand plans? Just please keep your mouth shut like that old snake beside you, and you won't make a fool of yourself," The hooded man casually said as if he was mocking a junior.
"Junior, you dare!" The Gale Emperor's expression turned ugly and dark as a wave of powerful ethereal wind energy almost blew last halfway across the hall, making those who were in the way quickly disappear from the spot before they got blown to bits.
However, the Gale Emperor quickly realized the possible consequences of his actions and quickly restrained his ethereal energy, though it caused a backlash in his body due to suddenly restricting the flow of ethereal energy in his body.

By now, people were literally wiping the sweat off their faces since they felt as if the present situation was like a bomb that could go off at any moment and the worst part was they were stuck in the middle of it.
There were indeed people who worried about Lily and Yuria, but most of them worried about their own skin foremost.
They could already feel that the atmosphere in this hall was getting heavier with every minute.
"See, you should have saved your saliva for what is about to come. But that can wait. First, let me talk to our puppet empress of the Rong Empire over there," The hooded man sarcastically said as his head turned in the direction of Olivia, along with everyone else, wondering if this guy got some beef with her as well since he obviously was insulting her, despite her status.
Even if people knew she was kind of a puppet empress, nobody would dare to say that aloud.
Olivia swallowed her saliva, unable to guess why this hoodlum was targeting her now. She was already having enough of a headache with Tristen on her back and Lily being taken hostage. And now, she was being pulled deeper into this mess.
"What is it you want?" Olivia cleared her throat as she asked with the bearings of an empress, though inwardly she was feeling apprehensive.
"Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me with such a tone. First, kneel before me, you whore!" The hooded loudly said in a chilling tone, shaking the hearts of everyone standing within the hall.
