<h4>Chapter 1712: Beaten Again</h4>
Shen Tu’s face was ashen.
He did not expect that a guy like Lancelot would appear out of nowhere from the Sword Alliance.
His appearance had messed up their nspletely.
Seeing that Shen Lu’s wound was not healing at all, he knew that Lancelot had held back.
It was enough to prove that his ability had far surpassed Shen Lu’s.
He secretly spected that he was most probably not Lancelot’s match as well.
He would just humiliate himself if he continued to stir up trouble with him.
He peeped at Shen Jue who was standing still not far away. He secretly cursed him seeing that he was still standing motionless, ‘This old thing must’ve been terrified by that sword move earlier.’
He thought that Shen Jue would make a scene by seizing the opportunity that Shen Lu was hurt. Then he could use him as a way out that would not be as awkward as how things were panning out now.
However, judging by Shen Jue’s expression, he thought that he had been scared by the sword move, no longer daring to speak up again.
“I told you not to cause problems. Have you learned your lesson now?!” Shen Tu helped Shen Lu up to his seat after scolding him.
As long as he pushed all of the responsibility onto Shen Lu wanting to challenge the Sword Alliance, the humiliation would have nothing to do with him at all.
At least that was what Shen Tu thought.
However, the people who were here were part of the upper echelons of grade-7 organizations. None of them were fools. They saw through the trick that they were trying to pull, but none of them bothered to expose them.
Everyone was happy to watch God Capital being humiliated. Nevertheless, they just enjoyed the show. There was no need to fall out with God Capital over something like this.
Lin Huang said nothing. After all, the Sword Alliance had seeded in humiliating God Capital.
On God Capital’s side, Shen Jue, who had regained control of his body, had a grim look on his face. He took his seat following Shen Tu and Shen Lu.
“What happened to you? Why did you be mute all of a sudden?!” Shen Tu’s face turned grim as soon as he took his seat. He asked Shen Jue through voice transmission.
Shen Jue nced at Lin Huang’s direction and nced at the crowd behind him before speaking softly and carefully.
“I think there’s more than one middle-rank Lord in the Sword Alliance. I was affected by a sneak attack. My body was being controlled, and I couldn’t move at all.”
Shen Tu’s expression changed slightly. He did not expect that to be the reason.
What shocked him was the fact that he did not notice that someone had attacked Shen Jue at all.
It only proved that the person who attacked Shen Jue was more capable than he was.
“It’s impossible for two middle-rank Lords to appear out of nowhere. The only possible exnation is that they came from the universe. Our great world is Royal’s territory. The Sword Alliance’s upgrade to a grade-7 organization was endorsed by Royal. I suspect that this Sword Alliance is a secret pawn that Royal has nted in the God Territory,” Shen Jue continued to speak of his spection.
Shen Tu fell intoplete silence after listening to those words.
At that moment, Sword 1 continued to wee the organizations that arrivedter into the venue.
“Nephilic Judge Tribe’s Virgen Kylie, tribe leader Abbott… and guest elder Bloody are here for the celebration!”
Hearing Sword 1’s announcement, the many people present had interested expressions on their faces.
The order of the name list was provided by the organizations themselves.
Under normal circumstances, the tribe leader should be ranked first.
There could be a few Virgens, so naturally their status was lower than the tribe leader.
To the Nephilic Judge, which was an ancient tribe, they would not allow for any mistakes in the rankings of identity.
However, the Nephilic Judge Tribe ced Virgen Kylie first this time, and the tribe leader second.
This was enough to indicate that Virgen Kylie’s status was higher than the tribe leader.
The people could not help but specte on the exact reason for this.
Many of them soon made the connection to the time when the Nephilic Judge Tribe had rejected the match-making efforts of the outsiders with regard to Virgen Kylie back then.
The reason they gave was that Virgen Kylie was still young and that they would not consider marrying her off for the time being.
Back then, many people thought that the Nephilic Judge Tribe wanted to settle this matter internally and wanted to marry Virgen Kylie off to a young, handsome talent within the tribe to cultivate an even more outstanding next generation.
However, it clearly did not seem like that was the case now.
Everyone coincidentally sensed that Virgen Kylie must have some hidden secrets behind her status!
Lin Huang had been staring at the entrance. It had been close to three years since he hadst seen Kylie.
Although they had been in contact, and he had been hearing about how she had been doing from Bloody, it had still been close to three years that they had not seen each other.
The silver-armored Kylie stepped into the pce entrance with the Nephilic Judge Tribe delegation in tow. She instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Many men could not tear their eyes away from her figure.
Not only was her appearance beautiful, her aura was immensely heroic as well.
Bloody was actually right next to her. However, in the presence of Kylie, she appeared to be overshadowed. Given that she concealed her lord-level aura intentionally, it caused many people to overlook her.
Lin Huang could not help but smirk seeing that Kylie had not changed much.
Kylie nced around the venue casually. She only locked eyes with Lin Huang for a moment and then looked away. She led the rest of the people from the Nephilic Judge Tribe to their seats.
Shen Tu stared at Kylie for a long time before finally looking away unwillingly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke in the presence of the crowd.
“The Nephilic Judge Tribe is considered an ancient pure blood tribe within the God Territory. Now that we’ve met today, I’ve noticed how valiant the Virgen is.”
“My God Capital has countless handsome and talented men, as well as many top-notch pure blood direct descendants. Abbott, I think we can consider a marriage alliance.”
Abbott, who had a head full of white hair, had a slight change of expression. However, he soon responded with a smile, “Thank you God Emperor for your kind intentions. However, the Virgen calls the shots regarding her own matters. I’m an old man now. I can’t decide for her.”
Abbott’s reply clearly surprised everyone present.
Theoretically, given the fact that the Nephilic Judge Tribe was in an awkward position in the God Territory, they should have agreed instantly to a grade-7 organization taking the initiative to arrange a marriage alliance.
However, he rejected their overtures directly.
Shen Tu obviously did not expect such a reply from Abbott. He only snapped back to his senses after a moment of disbelief.
He then looked at Kylie with a smile.
“Virgen, since Abbott can’t call the shots, what do you think?”
He secretly exerted pressure on Kylie with his lord-level aura when he spoke.
Suddenly, he sensed the pressure he exerted vanish instantly. At the same time, a terrifying pressure emanated from the direction of the Nephilic Judge Tribe.
It did not only target Shen Tu, but also enveloped Shen Jue and Shen Lu who were nearby.
Under its suppression, the three of them could not move an inch.
Never had they thought that they would meet another tough one.
“I’m not interested.” It was only once Kylie’s cold voice echoed in reply that the pressure finally faded away.
The crowd thought Shen Tu would act against the Nephilic Judge Tribe when they heard Kylie’s response.
To their surprise, Shen Tu merely chuckled twice.
“Since the Virgen has no interest, let’s forget about it.”
The people who were waiting for a show to unfold had shock-filled expressions on their faces at the moment.
Was this still the Shen Tu they knew?!
