The northern frontier of the Celestial Shadow Empire.

This is the northernmost land of the Douluo Continent, and because it is extremely cold and dangerous, it is known as the forbidden area for humans.

Therefore, even though this place was originally nominally a territory belonging to the Heaven Dou Empire, because of this extremely harsh climate, the Heaven Dou Empire would not pay much attention to this vast and cold forbidden land at all.

Even creatures are rare and extinct here, let alone humans, or large-scale human towns.

However, on the edge of the Far North, there is still a small city covered in snow and ice a few dozen kilometers away.

It's just that this has always been a place of exile for felons in exile empires, and the Heaven Dou Empire basically didn't pay any attention to it.

Even if Lu Yuan plotted to usurp the throne and changed the Heaven Dou Empire to the Heavenly Shadow Empire, it was almost the same.

However, the sergeants and chief officers of this small city were very familiar with the current affairs, and after receiving the news of Lu Yuan's proclamation as emperor, they decisively changed their flag and replaced it with the banner of the Celestial Shadow Empire.

After all, where this bird doesn't, there's nothing to resist stubbornly.

They didn't want to uphold any loyalty for the Heaven Dou Empire in this kind of place, become the new ministers of the Celestial Shadow Empire, and maybe leave this place and go back to enjoy life.

Today, however, the town welcomes some of the most distinguished visitors in the entire empire.

"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live——!" At the gate of the city, which was covered with ice and snow all year round, the chief officer in charge of this small city saluted in front with dozens of petty officials guarding the city.

"Excuse me." Lu Yuan's face softened, and he said, "You have worked hard all these years to guard this bitter cold frontier for the empire. ”

The chief officer looked very young and said, "It's not hard, in fact, the little minister was just transferred here last year to take up the post of commander of the army, and the previous big man was guarding this side of the frontier for many years, and he was finally able to be transferred back to his hometown." ”

"Oh?" Lu Yuan didn't know about it.

In fact, this is a transfer from the cabinet, which has worked diligently over the years and has done a lot of the original official transfer work.

First, it is to prevent the local magistrate from having too much prestige in the local area, holding the people into self-respect, drawing the land as the king, and seriously affecting the rule of the empire; Second, it is also to promote certain officials and nobles who are excellent in their work, and demote or transfer officials and nobles who are average or poor in their work.

However, the official position of the Far North City was transferred, but because of the request of the previous chief official, and it was indeed too bitter and cold here, considering this, he was transferred.

And sent a new chief official to take charge of the work here, and Ning Fengzhi and the others also decided to transfer here in the Far North, once every three years, mainly to train the young officials of the empire.

"Then you still have worked hard, after all, this place is indeed ......" Lu Yuan shook his head and looked at Lu Qingqing and the others behind him, who were tightly wrapped in thick clothes.

Only Yan Zhuyin is okay, after all, she is a fire-attribute martial soul, and she is far more effective than others in using her soul power to resist the cold.

And it's no wonder that Lu Qingqing and the others are wearing thick clothes, after all, now Lu Yuan feels it personally, the temperature in this extreme north place is changed to the previous life, it may be equivalent to an extremely cold temperature of minus forty degrees.

At this temperature, in the previous life, basically no one dared to come out casually, and they all stayed honestly in a heated home.

Even if you want to go out for other reasons, you must have three layers inside and three layers outside, and several warm babies can barely resist the cold.

There is no such thing as a warm baby in the Douluo Continent, so naturally Lu Qingqing and the others are so cold, but fortunately, they have the soul power to resist the cold.

Therefore, the low temperature in the far north is not a problem for them.

Lu Yuan sighed a little, this is still the temperature on the periphery of the Extreme North, if you go deep into the Extreme North, I really don't know what kind of extreme low temperature it will be.

But even with the low temperature on the periphery, it is already a very remarkable thing that these soldiers guarding the small cities in the north can be here for several years.

"Then please Your Majesty and all the adults to go into the city to warm up." The chief officer didn't think so much at this time, but hurriedly said.

"The city can be warmed by firewood cut down by the criminals every day, which is still warmer than outside the city."

"Well, I'm sorry for you." Lu Yuan waved his hand and said.

Soon, Lu Yuan and his party went directly into the city and came to a closed hall, the architecture of this extreme northern city is also quite interesting.

Basically, the building materials are ice and snow, and every brick and tile on the outer body is made of ice and snow, and only when it reaches the inner layer is the traditional brick and stone pile.

The main hall is also prepared with fragrant and delicious broth and some special foods from the Far North.

Although it is much worse than the daily diet of Lu Yuan and others, in this bitter cold place, Lu Yuan and others did not dislike it.

After all, they are all people who have dealt with a few times in the wild.

At the same time, as soon as they entered this hall, Lu Qingqing and the others felt a lot warmer, at least it had recovered to a temperature of about twenty degrees.

Then they took off their thick coats.

"It's finally a little warmer." Lu Qingqing breathed a long sigh of relief and said.

Speaking of which, Lu Qingqing and Lu Yuan are both from the southwestern part of the empire, although the Heaven Dou Empire occupied the northern border of the Douluo Continent before, even if it is in the south, it is colder than the Star Luo Empire.

When they were young, they could still see snow in the winter.

However, the overall climate of Notting City is still warm, and it is no wonder that Lu Qingqing is not adaptable.

However, Ning Rongrong, Yan Zhuyin and Dugu Yan were more adaptable, but they still couldn't bear the cold in the extreme north.

"Brother, are you sure there really are 100,000-year-old soul beasts here...... No, are you sure there really are soul beasts here? Lu Qingqing asked a little suspiciously, "It's so cold here that it doesn't look like a creature can survive here." ”

Lu Yuan chuckled, "Don't underestimate the adaptability of soul beasts to the environment, don't worry, there are indeed soul beasts here, and they are very powerful, and their strength is not much worse than the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest." ”

Not to mention anything else, even the Snow Emperor's cultivation of nearly 700,000 can also beat most of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even the deceased Lord of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Azure Bull Python, was not even comparable to a single hair of the Snow Emperor.

The main Snow Emperor himself is also blessed, and the innate beings condensed from the core of the Extreme North, in this regard, even the Emperor Heaven is inferior.

"By the way......" Lu Yuan suddenly remembered, it seemed that there should be an old acquaintance in this extreme northern......

His face was strange, that was a long time ago, Yu Xiaogang was exiled to the Far North for colluding with the Martial Spirit Hall to murder him.

Now Yu Xiaogang is in this small city, right?

Lu Yuan is not a person who holds grudges, and this time he remembered that Yu Xiaogang did not want to continue to pursue his past hatred.

"The ......," he looked at the officer who had just brought them in.

The chief officer immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are here. ”

"Tell me what your name is, I'll call you." Lu Yuan said.

"The lowly name is Shaun." The chief officer said.

"Shaun, there is a prisoner named Yu Xiaogang in this city." Lu Yuan asked.

Xiao En sweated on his forehead and said, "Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty, I need to find someone to check to find out if I want to release this ...... named Yu Xiaogang."

"No, you're thinking too much." Lu Yuan waved his hand, "I have nothing to do with him, and I don't want to pardon his crimes, I'm just curious about what this person I knew in the past is doing now." ”

"Yes." Only then did Xiao En relax and hurriedly went down to send someone to find out Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts.

"Yu Xiaogang, it's the Blue Electric Overlord sect brother who colluded with the Martial Spirit Hall to assassinate Xiao Yuan in the first place." Ning Rongrong said at this time.

"Well, it's all in the past, I'm just curious about his current condition." Lu Yuan shook his head and said.

"Brother, you are too merciful, if I order him to be killed directly!" Lu Qingqing listened to what Ning Rongrong said at this moment, and a chill flashed in her eyes.

"No." Lu Yuan's face was indifferent, "He is just an ordinary soul master now, and his crime has already been decided, so I don't need to take revenge for that grudge in the past." ”

"And the Blue Electric Overlord Sect ......" Dugu Yan was a little embarrassed at this time, "The huge Blue Electric Overlord Sect back then, now there are only Yu Tianheng and a dozen disciples left, and Yu Xiaogang can be regarded as the last descendant of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect." ”

Although Yu Tianheng also survived, the current situation is not optimistic.

also had to make Dugu Yan sigh, after all, she was actually almost the same as Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Ye Lingling and others back then.

It's just that now seven or eight years have passed, and she has broken through the Contra realm.

And Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, one is crippled and the other is dead, and Yu Tianheng's current cultivation is only in his sixties.

It will be a year or two before the Soul Saint Realm.

In fact, he had already worked very hard, dragging his stump body and cultivating hard, and at the same time planned to revive the prestige of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect.

However, in the past, the prestige of the Blue Electric Overlord Sect was supported by Yu Yuanzhen, a ninety-fifth-level Titled Douluo, and a group of Contra Douluo and Soul Saint-level elders.

Now that Yu Yuanzhen is dead and the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect is almost destroyed, it is not something that Yu Tianheng can easily revitalize.

Unless another Titled Douluo appears.

Yu Tianheng now pinned all his hopes on that clan brother, "Yu Tianqing", and had been offering rewards for the whereabouts of "Li Qing" all over the empire.

Even over the years, he took a risk and returned to Soto City accompanied by Ye Lingling, wanting to investigate the whereabouts of "Li Qing".

It's just that Lu Yuan insisted on not appearing, so who can find "Li Qing"?

The only two sisters of the Yu family who knew his true identity also kept this secret for him.

And just as Lu Yuan and the others suddenly talked about Yu Tianheng and the Blue Electric Overlord Sect, Xiao En also returned to Lu Yuan and the others at this moment.

Lu Yuan looked at Xiao En, only to see Xiao En's face pale and say, "Tell Your Majesty, that Yu Xiaogang's criminal disappeared four years ago. ”

"Disappeared four years ago?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's right, according to the records here, there was an unknown murder incident in the city four years ago, and on that day, two powerful soul masters suddenly came, and they directly broke out, killing the soldiers and prisoners on duty at that time, and some prisoners also disappeared in this incident." Sean said, "Among them, Yu Xiaogang is on the list of missing people. ”

"Two powerful soul masters, suddenly came here, burst out and killed the soldiers and prisoners here, and it happened that Yu Xiaogang disappeared......" Lu Yuan's eyes were bright, and then he waved his hand at Xiao En, "Forget it, it's not your problem, you don't need to be so nervous, let's go down first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sean breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated.

"Yu Xiaogang is missing?" Ning Rongrong frowned, "It can't be the Blue Electric Overlord Sect who did it, right?" ”

"No, four years ago...... Rongrong, have you forgotten what happened four years ago? Lu Yuan said.

"Four years ago...... We were at war with the Star Luo Empire on the front line, and there was a soul hunting operation in which the Martial Spirit Hall attacked our two major sects behind......" Ning Rongrong suddenly realized, "Xiao Yuan, are you talking about the Martial Spirit Palace?" ”

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, although Xiao En did not say what time point it was about four years ago, Yu Xiaogang disappeared.

But he had just concluded that it should be after the soul hunting operation of the Wuhun Palace.

After all, the only people who can save Yu Xiaogang are the Blue Electric Overlord Sect, Flender who is far away in the Star Luo Empire, and Bibi Dong who is in the Martial Spirit Palace.

But the Blue Electric Overlord Sect would not challenge the disapproval of the royal authority of the Heaven Dou Empire at that time because of Yu Xiaogang's waste, and come to rescue Yu Xiaogang.

And Flender of the Star Luo Empire could not send someone across the border of the Heaven Dou Empire to rescue Yu Xiaogang when the war on the front line of the Star Luo Empire was tense at that time.

With this ability, the Star Luo Empire simply sent people to attack the front line of the Heaven Dou Empire before and after.

Therefore, excluding the Blue Electric Overlord Sect and Flender who are far away in the Star Luo Empire, only the Martial Spirit Hall can have this ability, and the situation is quite consistent.

"But why did the Martial Spirit Hall rescue Yu Xiaogang?" Dugu Yan asked suspiciously.

Lu Yuan coughed, then said with a smile, "That's because the current Pope of the Martial Spirit Hall likes Yu Xiaogang." ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, everyone present made a sound of surprise.

Lu Yuan shrugged, "Don't believe it, it's true, the current Pope of the Martial Soul Palace, Bibi Dong, once fell in love with Yu Xiaogang who came out to practice at that time when he was a saint of the Martial Spirit Palace. ”

"Although I don't know why she fell in love with someone like Yu Xiaogang, maybe it was the first time she had contact with a man outside the Wuhun Palace, or maybe it was for other reasons, in short, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang fell in love."

However, the Pope of the Wuhun Hall at that time, Qianxun, didn't want Bibi Dong to become someone else's daughter-in-law, so he used the next means to forcibly break them up and forced Bibi Dong to give birth...... Thousands of snow. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan also shook his head.

Anyway, Chihiro is indeed a bastard, and doing such a thing is simply the extreme.

And the others are also some sympathetic to Bibi Dong at the moment, and they are also some sympathetic to Qianrenxue.

"In short, maybe it was the obsession of the year, maybe she still likes Yu Xiaogang, and it is very likely that she sent someone to rescue Yu Xiaogang." Lu Yuan said, "But save it, save it, Yu Xiaogang himself is not important." (End of chapter)
