Chapter 1896: Chapter 1663: Instructions
Boundary General Mansion.
Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi were both defeated by Lin Mo simultaneously, surprising many who were expecting a good show. They began to reassess Lin Mo’s true strength. Even without considering the power of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, Lin Mo’s own prowess was entirely comparable to Advanced Realm Generals.
Famed for comprehending the sword skill of Xialing Saint in Stone Forest, many were initially skeptical. Witnessing this scene today, their doubts and contempt were immediately dispelled.
At least, among Advanced Realm Generals, only a few could achieve defeating both Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi simultaneously.
Lin Mo understood that only by displaying some skills and strength could he intimidate certain petty individuals. Besides, he planned to go to the Star Domain battlefield. With Yingzi staying in the mansion after he leaves, displaying some skills now could at least spare Yingzi from some harassment and trouble.
Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi’s faces turned pale, initially seeking to curry favor with Duke Yaoyang by troubling Lin Mo, unexpectedly failing and instead becoming the ’stepping stone’ for Lin Mo, losing face before numerous Realm Generals.
"Such remarkable prestige from the Rider Captain!"
Suddenly, a dull voice sounded, and a blurred figure appeared before Lin Mo, gradually becoming clearer, exquisitely robed, hair bound with a pin, and a face embodying authority without anger.
"Duke Yaoyang!"
"Why has Duke Yaoyang come too..."
"It seems Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi intentionally sought trouble with Lin Mo. I heard Lin Mo offended Duke Yaoyang."
Within the crowd, someone whispered.
Duke Yaoyang glanced at Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi lying on the ground, his face gloomy, then fixed his gaze on Lin Mo, "Rider Captain, the Boundary General Area strictly prohibits private brawling. Haven’t you read the management regulations of the Boundary General Area, or do you think you can disregard its rules?"
"Duke Yaoyang?" Lin Mo glanced at him.
Since Shao Wenfeng’s affair, he had already offended Duke Yaoyang, having killed the Elong Star Lord disrupting a financial avenue for Duke Yaoyang, defeated the Tiger-headed Realm General arranged by Duke Yaoyang, embarrassing him, so it was unsurprising for Duke Yaoyang to trouble him.
Lin Mo replied calmly, "Duke Yaoyang, it was these two who sought trouble with me first. I merely taught them a lesson. That doesn’t constitute a violation of the regulations of the Boundary General Area, does it?"
"Do you think so?" Duke Yaoyang sneered, "As the Realm Marquis of the Boundary General Area, managing all Realm Generals, I can deduct thirty years of your opportunity for Law Comprehension at the tower, and penalize you by confining you to the mansion for thirty years without leaving for any place else."
Others were not naive, easily seeing Duke Yaoyang targeting Lin Mo, perhaps having arranged for Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi to deliberately seek trouble with Lin Mo.
"Thirty years of opportunity at the Law Comprehension Tower? Thirty years of not leaving the mansion, isn’t that too overbearing?" Ling Tong frowned deeply, murmuring softly.
Standing beside her, Dong Xu gently tugged Ling Tong’s sleeve, signaling her not to speak recklessly.
Mu Yuan and Yuan Xi stood behind Duke Yaoyang, their faces once again showing smiles, having suffered great humiliation from Lin Mo earlier, now finally able to lift their heads high.
While some Realm Generals sensed the situation was unjust, Duke Yaoyang, being a genuine Marquis Level expert and responsible for managing the Boundary General Area, none wished to offend him for an unfamiliar newbie Realm General.
Also, a small portion of new Realm Generals had their treasures exploited by Duke Yaoyang’s subordinates, harboring discontent while not daring to openly oppose Duke Yaoyang.
"Thirty years of opportunity at the Law Comprehension Tower? Forcing me to remain in the mansion for thirty years without going out?" Lin Mo laughed coldly, his gaze sharp as he looked at Duke Yaoyang, "Who do you think you are."
The Star Sky Alliance is composed of World-level experts with distinct hierarchies. Duke Yaoyang was a bona fide World Marquis level expert, managing the Boundary General Area. Who dared speak to him in such a manner.
Instantly, Duke Yaoyang’s face changed, his eyes carrying a chill, "Lin Mo, do you think knowing two Realm Kings allows you to disregard me, Duke Yaoyang? Defying my orders publicly, I’ll have to teach you a good lesson as a deterrent."
Although Duke Yaoyang was injured by the Golden Cloud Realm Emperor, causing his cultivation to fall to the Advanced Realm General Realm, his martial arts, treasures, and law comprehension were entirely of the Realm Marquis level, with the gap between an Advanced Realm General and a Realm Marquis far greater than between Star Domain Level and World Level.
To become a Realm Marquis, one must have their strength acknowledged or have slain a Realm Marquis expert on the Star Domain battlefield.
Lin Mo’s gaze was frigid, possessing the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, Blood Demon Vine, and True Yuan comparable to Advanced Realm Generals. If truly facing Duke Yaoyang in combat, it was hard to say if Duke Yaoyang could directly defeat him.
The atmosphere was tense, with Duke Yaoyang intending to teach Lin Mo a good lesson before going to the Star Domain battlefield. As long as it didn’t involve murder and robbing treasures, generally, Realm Emperors and Realm Lords wouldn’t intervene.
At that moment, a stronger suppression descended from heaven and earth. A figure flew over, an elderly man in a black robe with silver hair billowing, hands behind his back, came to Lin Mo’s side.
"Lord Sword Mad World Emperor!" Duke Yaoyang immediately restrained his aura, respectfully cupping his hands.
"Duke Yaoyang, you’re quite bold, bullying a newbie Realm General just because of your Realm Marquis status. Aren’t you afraid people would laugh their heads off, and even your Golden Cloud Realm Emperor master might feel ashamed?" Sword Mad World Emperor coldly remarked towards Duke Yaoyang.
Duke Yaoyang’s face changed drastically; a Realm Emperor was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
