"This sounds so perverted..."
Chen Shu's face was covered in black lines. "Besides the Southern Jiang Bandit, don't I have any normal titles?"
"That's what everyone is saying..."
The man scratched his head. "We thought another formidable figure had appeared, but it's still you."
The Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms had already experienced nearly half a year of apocalypse. Some people had long forgotten things from peaceful times, so not everyone recognized the Southern Jiang Bandit.
This guy had been inspecting work frequently recently, so naturally, he was mistaken for an inspection maniac...
At this moment, Chen Shu suddenly thought of a terrible outcome and quickly said, "The camps I cleared out, aren't they yours?"
"Of course not!"
The man instantly denied it, with hatred in his voice. "In fact, we have a mortal feud with them, but due to our strength, we can only temporarily avoid their edge."
"Oh? I recall you had two King-level Beast Tamers, right?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. When he first arrived in the Southern Qing Kingdom, two King-level Beast Tamers had personally come to greet him.
"Alas... one has already fallen."
The man sighed, speaking with remembrance.
"Back then, our Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms were jointly resisting the ferocious beasts. The situation wasn't too dire; at least it was possible to protect our territories."
"But suddenly a King-level Beast Tamer appeared, claiming to have fled from another country and wanting to join the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms to resist the ferocious beasts together."
"Senior Fu Ning naturally agreed gladly, as the addition of a King-level Beast Tamer was of great significance."
"But just as we were engaged in a great battle with the ferocious beasts, that beast turned traitor on the battlefield and attacked Senior Ka!"
The man's eyes still held immense hatred.
"At that time, our internal situation became chaotic, and the great battle subsequently failed. Nearly eighty percent of the Beast Tamers died, and the defense line of the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms collapsed."
"That person first plundered a large amount of resources, then fled and disappeared. He only reappeared after the collapse of order, establishing fourteen camps and intending to seize all the resources of the Seven Kingdoms..."
Chen Shu and the other two remained silent, able to imagine the brutality of that battle.
"The Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms had lost more than half of their strength. Minister Fu Ning could only lead the survivors and hide in another dimension, not daring to set foot on Blue Star."
"I never thought we would become prey so quickly..."
A bitter smile appeared in the man's eyes, and he felt a sense of powerlessness towards the chaotic times.
"Things will get better."
Chen Shu patted his shoulder and said, "Can you take me to see Senior Fu Ning?"
"No problem!"
The man agreed without any hesitation.
"Hm? You trust me so much?"
Chen Shu was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected such a prompt agreement, as it was the survival base of the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms, and they would naturally not reveal its location easily.
Moreover, the most important thing was that he had just ransacked fourteen camps. He didn't seem like a good person...
"Minister Fu Ning said he considers you one of us, and he actually has something he wants you to help with."
"Is that so? Then lead the way!"
The three rode on Xiao Huang, heading south directly to their destination.
Two days later,
Most of the territories of the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms were adjacent to each other, but some areas were separated by the sea. Greatwind Novel Network
In the central area between the Southern Qing Kingdom and the Blue Spirit Kingdom, there was a small strait called the Ling Qing Strait, which served as the border between the two countries.
At this moment, Chen Shu and the other two flew all the way to the Ling Qing Strait.
Deep in the ocean, there was an ordinary-level alternate dimension. Due to its remote location, neither humans nor ferocious beasts paid much attention to it.
The three of them quietly arrived at the entrance of the passage and successfully entered it.
"Is it here?"
Chen Shu looked at the green grassland before him. The climate was pleasant, indeed a suitable place to live.
The man nodded. "Let's try not to disturb the ferocious beasts."
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, and then understood. If they cleared out the alternate dimension, it would inevitably alert the ferocious beasts to the anomaly.
He recalled Xiao Huang and used the spatial rabbit's teleportation to travel.
In a short while, the three had reached the depths of the alternate dimension.
Ahead, two majestic green mountains stood tall, and between the peaks, a vast valley had naturally formed.
The three landed on the ground and proceeded forward.
Tall trees covered the surroundings, forming a natural protective barrier for the valley.
Just then,
Chen Shu's expression shifted, and vigilance appeared in his eyes.
The man quickly explained, "This is a detection barrier set up by the Beast Tamers. It can detect invading creatures immediately, allowing us to escape."
Chen Shu nodded, feeling a touch of emotion:
Have humans become so cautious in their living?
After passing through more detection barriers, the three finally saw the outline of the settlement ahead.
Simple wooden houses stood scattered, with a few people cultivating the land and even raising poultry. It was like a paradise, possessing a long-lost sense of tranquility.
At the forefront of the crowd stood a man with a calm expression, but his eyes held an indelible sorrow.
When he saw Chen Shu and the other two arrive, there was no surprise in his eyes; he had clearly been informed.
"Senior Fu Ning!"
Chen Shu and Dali stepped forward, their eyes still filled with respect.
A rare smile appeared on Fu Ning's face, as if the pent-up pressure in his heart was suddenly released.
Although he was only middle-aged, his hair was white, and his body was even slightly hunched, as if he could no longer bear the weight of the country.
As the strongest person in the country, the pressure he bore was undoubtedly the greatest.
"Chen Shu, it's really you, kid!"
Fu Ning smiled slightly, then his eyes showed surprise, saying,
"Your strength has become even greater!"
Although Chen Shu was only a Gold Rank Two, he could sense a sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart.
If they were to have a life-and-death battle, he was sure that he would be the one to fall first!
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, there's not much I can do."
"Haha, you're still young, you have plenty of opportunities!"
Fu Ning patted his shoulder and said, "Follow me. We are old friends meeting again, and we must have a good get-together today!"
The man who had escorted Chen Shu and the other two quietly left, not participating in their meeting.
"Honestly, when I heard that all fourteen camps in the Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms had been swept clean, you were the first person I thought of!"
Fu Ning's eyes held a cheerful smile, saying,
"That old guy kicked the bucket, right?"
"He kicked the bucket alright!"
Chen Shu also grinned, saying, "His contract spirit was cooked by Dali."
"You two, one kills and the other cooks. You're a perfect match!"
Fu Ning remarked, then raised his eyebrows again,
"You kid made a fortune this time, didn't you?"
"Not bad. The main thing was wanting to sort out the order in your Northern Spirit Seven Kingdoms!"
