A distinguished vicennial gathering such as the Hidden Dragon Trials was so that the whole nation participated in Shortly after the appearance of Princess Gouyu, two squads of strong practitioners from the Tiandu army sprinted down the avenue and occupied the two sides of the avenue, cordoning off the area

This

Eastern Lu was in high spirits and his steps were steady and vigorous His bright eyes looked around with a stern and an awe inspiring gaze

“May the Edom!”

The subjects and courtiers all threw the the arrival of the king

The 108 dukes also all found their areas and took their seats

Eastern Lu occupied the center of the courtyard and spoke with a strong and resonant voice, “Our Eastern Kingdoe of a thousand years, has always ee of martial dao In order to conspicuously display our martial dao, and provide ihly value the vicennial Hidden Dragon Trials We happened to cos and valiant postures from all the nobles, people of exceptional ability in all their ratified

Eastern Lu handed the reins back to Princess Gouyu after speaking only a few si winded speech After all, Princess Gouyu was the on Trials

“Your Majesty, Yan Jiuzhuang has aof the Yanmen dukedom stepped forward and bowed after Eastern Lu had concluded his remarks

“Oh? What business does Duke Yan have?” Eastern Lu smiled faintly

“Your Majesty, your subject has heard that the duke of Jiang Han has fallen ill with a severe disease, and has even heard that he is possibly not part of this world any Han territory borders the southern reaches of ic i Han does not reappear for an extended period of time, the thieves and rascals in the southern reaches will take advantage of the opportunity to rise in revolt Your subject sincerely requests to discuss the jurisdiction of the Jiang Han dukedo Han territory - the rights to a dukedohtly No one had certain news of Jiang Feng’s condition This duke of Yanmen had been the first to jump out in an apparent effort to be the trailblazer for the duke of Soaring Dragon

Eastern Lu’s gaze flitted towards the Jiang Han dukedo Chen smiled faintly and took a step forward, “Your Majesty, this duke of Yanmen has no respect for his own seniority to publicly curseAs the son, how could I sit idly by and ignore this? Your subject requests that Yan Jiuzhuang apologize to e in which you still smell of your mother’s milk, who are you to ize to you?” Yan Jiuzhuang laughed coldly

“Cursing others without cause or reason is aOld dog Yan, you’re an esteely beco you as a dog is an extreued foundations weren’tChen, you dare publicly insult and deride a territorial duke this duke will petition to fix on you the egregious cri Yan, just try ainstout like thunder fro Han territory

This er’s walk He strode to the front with frosty looks shooting out of his eyes and stared at Yan Jiuzhuang, “Old dog Yan, where has my son spoken incorrectly? You, duke of Yanmen, are a duke of the first rank, at the end of the day, and have sunk so low as to become cannon fodder for others, what are you, if not the falcons and hounds of others?”

Jiang Feng!

It was Jiang Feng, the duke of Jiang Han who had been an bustling with noise and excite Han would suddenly appear, and even be bursting with the vitality of dragons and the ferocity of tigers

And judging fro aura that only a true qi h and becoreets Your Majesty!” After Jiang Feng had condeenuflected towards Eastern Lu in a very natural and poised way

“Jiang Feng, We had heard that you were indisposed So it turns out those were false ruhtly upon seeing Jiang Feng appear at a crucialof the nation, he did not wish to see the Jiang Han territory change hands under these conditions

Even if it were to change hands, it would still be up to him, Eastern Lu, to decide ould take over ownershi+p He absolutely would not let the duke of Soaring Dragon and his henchmen seize ownershi+p with no clear reason whatsoever

Jiang Feng laughed heartily, “A few thieves and rascals eraceful and unpresentable tricks It’s not worthpossesses virtue and patriotism, and naturally has the protection of heaven and earth It seems that ere overly concerned” Eastern Lu was also in exceedingly good spirits

The side of the duke of Soaring Dragon, however, was exceedingly gloo hadn’t died? And had lived with the vitality of dragons and ferocity of tigers to boot? It looked like even his training had broken through

Long Zhaofeng had a belly full of depression He was beco more and s Not a thing had gone s fa had fallen victi with the vitality of dragons and ferocity of tigers?

Not only had Jiang Feng not died, but his training had gone up a notch This eren’t they asking for ridicule if they sought to seize the Jiang Han territory through devious means?

The duke of Yanmen had a face full of aardness, as if someone had landed a hard punch on his nose He was stuck between a rock and a hard place for the moment, and felt incredibly aard

“Duke of Yan cannon fodder for someone, first look at Du Ruhai’s exit, then think of the straits that have befallen the Pill King Garden”

The nobles ere the confidantes of and backing up the duke of Soaring Dragon were all deeply ’s words

Indeed, Du Ruhai had been a trailblazer and pathbreaker for the duke of Soaring Dragon, but had met his end at the duke’s own hands with his house raided afterwards and the fah no one had died in the Pill King Garden, their business was in a sorry state due to the Hall of Healing - like fallen flowers being carried away by the floaters as they steadily lost ground There were even rumors that they had coon, and had lost their right of autonoly depressed, but his tone re, don’t be pleased with yourself too early”

“Why shouldn’t I be pleased with hed quite heartily “In terms of one on one combat, you would be unable to beat hly trounced by my Chen’er on two occasions I have no reason not to be pleased with myself in front of you, wouldn’t you say so?”
