Four Dukes of the North Continent.
Duke Zhuxue, Duke Zhen Yue, Duke Duanyang, Duke Xiang Chen.
These four were personally enfeoffed by His Majesty, enjoying the highest status among the nobility of the North Continent. Except for Duke Duanyang, the other three have their own "fiefdoms."
Duke Zhen Yue was commissioned to garrison the western flank of the North Continent. The "ducal position" is hereditary, with Zhuxue and Duanyang both surnad Lin, making them part of the North Continent’s "imperial family" and relatives, but Duke Zhen Yue is different.
Under the title of Zhen Yue, the surna is not Lin, but ng.
This title is a testant to the long-term friendship between the North Continent and the West Continent, or one might say a "guarantee."
The previous Duke Zhen Yue made illustrious military achievents at the frontier fortress, possessing high prestige and a group of loyal followers, but unfortunately, his life was cut short, dying young, so after the new lord ascended... there were several disturbances within the Zhen Yue fiefdom. However, this new lord is by no ans "ordinary," quickly pacifying the unrest. He was young and exceptionally talented, reaching the fourth stage of cultivation at just over twenty.
Besides personal strength, he also possesses formidable command ability.
Truly a dragon among n.
"ng Xiao will also co to Central City," Lin Chou said calmly: "Recently there was the matter of ng Xizhou’s annulled marriage. As an elder brother, it’s natural he dislikes the Gu family from the East Continent. Now that ng Xiao is at his peak, inviting Gu Shen aboard to let him avoid the spotlight isn’t a problem."
"Avoid?"
Lin Lin coldly laughed: "I have no intention of avoiding. In the North Continent, the Lin Family is the master. No matter how formidable ng Xiao is, a dragon must coil, a tiger must crouch."
He had long heard of the fierce reputation of the new Duke Zhen Yue, ng Xiao.
Pacifying the unrest in the West Wing and suppressing frontier disturbances, the young "Duke Zhen Yue" had just taken office and had already showcased his exceptional talents. However, survival in this world requires learning when to restrain one’s edge. Sotis being too sharp isn’t beneficial.
"These words are just between you and ."
Zhuxue frowned and said: "ng Xiao will be here soon... let’s talk about the ’marriage contract’ after we et him."
Lin Lin squinted his eyes, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and sat back on his chair without showing any expression.
...
...
Gu Shen stood on the second floor of the banquet hall.
Chu Ling didn’t have much authority to use; the second floor’s [monitoring] was protected by dual passwords.
Obviously, Duke Zhuxue was here.
With the current capabilities of [Source Code], it was still impossible to silently infiltrate the permission settings of "duke" level figures, but Gu Shen could continue to advance... this was not a forbidden area, and even if it were, Chu Ling could shield part of the [Heavenly Eye] to ensure Gu Shen’s absolute safety, at least temporarily avoiding detection.
Lin Lin should also be on the second floor.
After sitting down... an inexplicable guidance erged in Gu Shen’s heart, making him feel he should leave his seat and take a walk around the second floor of the banquet hall, and the walk here was naturally not to disturb the conversation between Zhuxue and Lin Lin.
He slowly walked forward, Zhuxue seed to be very confident in [Deep Sea]’s security, as this floor had no guards arranged.
Following the sensation in his heart, Gu Shen paused before a private room. He didn’t enter but stood still.
The sense of "guidance" in his heart grew stronger.
Gu Shen slightly lowered his head.
Was this the guidance of the crucifix pendant?
"Soone’s coming, and they’re fast."
Chu Ling suddenly spoke, her tone heavy.
Gu Shen instantly turned around, only managing to see a rapidly enlarging hand.
It wasn’t a human hand... Five fingers like hooks, sharp claws, and fangs!
"Strong Attack Type Transcendent!"
Gu Shen’s pupils contracted. Are you kidding? This is a public banquet hosted by Duke Zhuxue. Who would make a move here?
With a loud "bang,"
Gu Shen instinctively used the yet-to-mature [Complete Flash], but the opponent’s speed was also rapid, instantly making the exact sa move, and thus, amidst the trembling and shaking of two blurry phantoms, they collided and crashed together!
In a flash, the Chi Huo flying out from Gu Shen’s eyebrows was blocked by a circle of ignited golden hoop.
"Chi Huo" couldn’t be used...
"Truth Ruler" was sealed...
Gu Shen remained calm, not panicking. He raised his hands to block in front of him, and at the sa ti, countless sharp winds swirled out of nowhere, and an iron shield thus ford, stubbornly blocking this powerful strike!
This was the "Naless Scrap Iron" from the Taiga Snow Mountain Mausoleum. Under the command of the [Iron Throne’s] ability, it could change shape at will and be summoned at any ti... even if soone noticed sothing unusual, explaining it would be easy, as it’s a "special seal object" controlled by spiritual power.
Golden light dazzling, sparks flying!
The slap rcilessly crashed onto Gu Shen’s iron shield...
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Gu Shen’s knees slightly buckled, with half a foot stepping into the ground, while a hum reverberated in his mind!
The strength of this slap was imnse!
At this mont, he finally saw the presence on the other side of the dust. There were multiple figures, and the one who attacked him was a semi-beast form Transcendent, large and muscular, with arms covered in thick fur resembling that of a giant bear.
"Quite durable..."
Among the many figures, the person standing in the center spoke expressionlessly: "Bakui, hit him again."
"Roar..."
Bakui extended his bear paw again, preparing to deliver another fierce strike on Gu Shen.
