Chapter 957: Chapter 516: Lord Meeting, Advanced Trial (4K)
Taixuan Realm, Capital City.
The nine-colored tower stood tall in the center of the capital, a faint halo emanating from it, encircling it like a rainbow.
The sky here was azure blue, without a sight of the crimson river that spread across the Azure Sky, nor a single wisp of Red Mist existed; all was peaceful and tranquil.
However,
“Even outside the city, traces of Red Mist can occasionally be seen now; this never happened before.”
Mu Yuan murmured as he walked under the Nine-Color Tower.
This place was the hub of the entire Tai Xuan, where the Pioneer Group and the headquarters of Tai Xuan Liangyi were located.
The senior lord meeting scheduled for today was also to be held here.
People flocked to the wide open doors of the tower, staff hurried along, and lords with their entourages strode in.
“It’s Lord Hongchen and his Ruby Guard.”
“It’s the White Shark Lord; the White Shark Lord himself has come.”
Dressed in a suit, the White Shark Lord was followed by six robust Merfolk Blade Masters.
A few lords who saw White Shark immediately went up to greet him.
Mu Yuan’s attire was quite simple, a set of casual wear coupled with a set of self-repairing inner armor. He was only accompanied by one attendant, the little secretary Mo Li from the City Lord’s Mansion.
Currently, some generals from Tianyuan City were still toiling outside, while others were coordinating with Duo Lai and Isloa in the extensive development of the territory; Mu Yuan, who did not fuss about pomp, found no need to bring any guards.
After all, coming to Capital Tai Xuan from his domain was simply a matter of crossing through the Starry Sky Gate once.
Once the meeting concluded, he would be able to instantly return to his own residence.
“Tianyuan.”
A cool voice pierced into his ears.
Mu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blue-haired woman wearing sunglasses leaning against a majestic stone pillar in the distance.
“Are you… the Lord of Han Yue City?”
Mu Yuan did not recognize her at first glance.
The Lord of Han Yue City gave a surprised “Oh,” pointing to her sunglasses, “These sunglasses are an epic item capable of confusing one’s appearance and stature; yet you still recognized me. You truly are the junior I have high hopes for.”
Mu Yuan glanced at the Lord of Han Yue City.
Her svelte figure was encased in silver-white armor, and her ice-blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall beneath her battle skirt. Her aura was cool, and even with her might restrained, ice element particles in the world still spontaneously clustered around her like guards.
With such distinctive looks and aura, it was hard to find a second like her in all of Tai Xuan; how could he not recognize her.
“Is there a difference whether you wear the sunglasses or not?”
He teased, but found that the sunglasses were quite useful after all, as the other lords completely overlooked Han Yue, the great star of Taixuan.
“As expected of the great star who cut down two monsters in the Law Realm, indeed you need to hide your identity.”
“You’re not too shabby either, kid. I’ve heard about you; you even have the power to slay Grand Dukes of the Soul Realm,” said the Lord of Han Yue City, suddenly revealing a teasing smile. “You too are a lord in the limelight, believe it or not, if I shout ‘Tianyuan is here,’ many would crowd around.”
Mu Yuan’s lips curled in response, “Then I’ll have to shout ‘The Lord of Han Yue City is here.’”
Her fans were far more numerous than his own.
He was just a low-key and unassuming ordinary lord.
The Lord of Han Yue City’s lips twitched, “Enough, I was a little worried about your situation, but it seems my concern was unnecessary.”
“However…”
She paused, “Your domain is adjacent to the Red Mist Land, right?”
Mu Yuan nodded.
“At this stage, affected by the Sky Rift disaster, Grand Duke Hunter Level beings can already enter the Ten Directions Island Domain. I know you are capable of dealing with Grand Duke Hunters, even several at a time, but you must still be cautious. When these monsters are stronger than you, they are ferocious and wild, choosing the most direct means. But when they are weaker than you, they become cunning and treacherous; it’s not certain they’ll confront you head-on.”
“Moreover… this is only the situation at present; don’t forget, in a few months the Red Moon Disaster is coming.
“The double influence of the Sky Rift Disaster and Red Moon Disaster… I know you certainly won’t back down; I wouldn’t either. But don’t end up dead.”
Dead?
He was the sort who cherished his life the most.
It was the Lord of Han Yue City who was reckless and often risked her life.
Mu Yuan wanted to advise her, but it would be useless. Each person has their style of fighting, and he was still just a Frontier Lord.
He would talk about surpassing the Lord of Han Yue City later.
…
The lord meeting soon commenced.
This meeting was only open to Frontier Lords, Lords of Taixuan Liang Yi, and a few leaders of large groups.
The lords took their seats, with the vast majority participating in the form of projections.
This was natural.
Mu Yuan took a seat in the second row.
In the first row were seated the Exploration Generals like the Lord of Han Yue City, Sword Lord Liushi, and Lord Qing Xin.
Further ahead on the main stage were four seats.
Three figures sat there, with one seat empty.
One was an old man with a wrinkled face but bright, piercing eyes.
The second was stooped with white brows and white beard.
The third elderly man had a robust build, with shoulders broader than the other two combined. He was none other than Lord of Luo Fu Mountain, one of Tai Xuan Liangyi.
“This meeting is for three matters. Firstly, to mourn the sacrificed soldiers; secondly, to award medals to the meritorious lords; and thirdly…”
Not a few soldiers had perished.
Very few mighty beings were capable of reviving their god souls; most of the fallen were buried in foreign lands.
But there were also many lords who had made outstanding contributions in slaying the enemies.
The Lord of Han Yue City, promoted to Eight-star Pioneer Lord.
The Lord of Tianyuan City, promoted to Six-star Pioneer Lord.
The White Shark Lord, …
Mu Yuan stepped forward, receiving the medal from the hands of the old man with the white brows and beard.
