Chapter 459: Chapter 277: Wu Junwan’s Mission to the North Country_1

“`

Princess Wu Junwan had taken an interest in Lu Chen a long time ago. As a teenager, he led a handful of people to the North Country, and in a short period of time, endowed the impoverished North Country with the strength to defeat a 300,000-strong army from the Barbarian Tribe. Moreover, he made the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace, who resided in North Prince Mansion, unwilling to leave.

All this aroused Princess Wu Junwan’s curiosity. She wondered what was so special about Lu Chen, or what value he possessed that could attract the superpower supporting him, as well as the Mysterious Moon Palace, and even the Univeral Academy to the North Country.

In the past, she had only heard about what kind of person the North Prince was but had never met him personally. Princess Wu Junwan was well aware that much of the information that reached her was hearsay, but she didn’t know the actual situation.

To find out what the real North Prince was like, she needed to meet him in person, and now the opportunity had come.

When Princess Wu Junwan’s convoy arrived at the southern gate of the North Country, Lu Chen rode out to the gate on horseback to welcome them personally.

Princess Wu Junwan was the Princess of the dynasty, while Lu Chen was just a Seignior. It was only natural for him to come out of the city to welcome her, but something felt amiss to Princess Junwan—was the reception standard of the North Country a bit too high?

Not only did the North Prince personally come out to greet her, but the roadsides were also packed with the city’s common folk. The level of reception seemed excessively high.

As the convoy stopped, Princess Wu Junwan lifted the carriage curtain, and an attractive face came into view. Though his skin looked somewhat youthful, the North Prince already possessed the aura of a mature man, especially his eyes, which were bright and extraordinarily profound.

With just one glance, Princess Wu Junwan found her gaze captivated by his appearance.

Princess Wu Junwan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—the reports were indeed accurate; the North Prince was indeed a rare beauty.

While she was lost in thought, Princess Wu Junwan suddenly sensed something wrong. She quickly regained her senses—though Lu Chen was deliberately concealing his martial artist’s aura, she still felt it.

They were standing more than ten meters apart, yet she felt a sense of oppression. Lu Chen clearly had reached the Grandmaster Realm.

This…

How is this possible…

The North Prince was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and already a Grandmaster?

Was there something wrong with her perception?

Princess Wu Junwan even began to doubt her own vision. After all, even though she was quite talented, it had taken her over twenty years to break through to the Master Realm, whereas the North Prince was only seventeen or eighteen and already a Grandmaster.

This was way too exaggerated!

At that moment, Pei Hong, standing beside the carriage, whispered a reminder, “Your Highness, the North Prince is very strong; he is a Grandmaster!”

After hearing what Pei Hong said, Princess Wu Junwan confirmed that her senses were not mistaken. The young man nearby was indeed a Grandmaster.

Is he really the North Prince?

Could it be that the North Prince just randomly sent someone to meet them?

After all, she had never seen what the real North Prince looked like.

Just then, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Welcome, Princess Wu, to the North Country as a guest. I have been waiting for you for a long time!”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Princess Wu Junwan frowned slightly.

My Prince?

So, the young man was indeed the North Prince himself?

The North Prince’s martial arts talent was terrifying!

At the rate of the North Prince’s progress, he might breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm by the age of fifty, or even before thirty!

A thirty-year-old in the Heavenly Human Realm! Princess Wu Junwan dared not even think of it!

Among those she knew, not even the Empress of Da Yue, a martial arts prodigy, could compare with the North Prince!

She had always thought that the Empress of Da Yue was the person with the highest martial arts talent in the world, believing no one could be more gifted than her.

But now, there was the monstrous existence of the North Prince!

It seemed that the rumors of the North Prince being a womanizer were false. To break through to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, he must have worked harder than most, even with his talent.

The Empress of Da Yue did just that—decades ago, she sealed off all her emotions and desires to vie for her position, focusing all of her efforts on martial arts, to achieve the strength she has today.

Others may not know how formidable the Empress of Da Yue is, but Princess Wu Junwan was clear about it.

Of course, even someone like the favored daughter of heaven, the Empress of Da Yue, paled in comparison to Lu Chen in the eyes of Princess Wu Junwan at that moment.

In her heart, Princess Wu Junwan instantly identified Lu Chen as the number one enemy of the Great Wu dynasty.

Compared to the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty, Lu Chen was Great Wu’s real enemy.

The North Prince was growing too fast—he was young enough, and his ambitions were great.

The North Prince had kept his strength very well hidden!

After defeating the Sky Wolf King’s 300,000-strong army in the North Country, people said the North Prince knew martial arts, but no one ever specified how skilled he was.

In the eyes of many, the North Prince’s success was due to the heavy cavalry supporting him, or the power behind him that supported the North Prince. Without that support, he wouldn’t have his achievements today.

Now it seemed that everyone might have been mistaken. The North Prince might have relied on his backing, but he was definitely not simple himself.

Princess Wu Junwan thought to herself that it was no wonder the superpower behind Lu Chen supported him, the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace came to the North Country and stayed for a long time, and even Zhuge Zhongguang had arrived in the North Country.
