Chapter 102: Meeting with the Lord of the Zhao Province

In the second reception room of the main hall, standing beneath the soft glow, Lin Yuan and Lord Zhao Shenming remained completely motionless, their gazes locked in a collision of wills.

To a mortal or even a low-level cultivator, the room would appear perfectly peaceful, occupied by two men simply looking at one another. But to anyone possessing the perception of the Great Dao, the space between them was a warzone of conflicting intents.

Lin Yuan stood tall, his aura, representing the absolute Peak of the Nascent Soul realm, was like a raging ocean of lightning. It sought to crash against the shores of reality, roaring with unyielding supremacy.

Yet, even when faced with this overwhelming tidal wave of power, Lord Zhao Shenming did not flinch. The ruler of Zhao Province stood there in simple robes, his aura completely restrained. Instead of radiating pressure, his presence felt like a bottomless abyss, deep enough to swallow everything that approached it.
