Tap, tap, tap!
Although the elder with a gloomy face was very old, he still had a tall and straight posture. Under his blue aristocratic robes, one could clearly see the contours of his strong and firm muscles.
His footsteps were not heavy, but they sounded like the beating of a drum, causing people to involuntarily look at him.
An aura that was even more powerful than the skinny elder's pressed down on Gray like a huge wave in the ocean.
"He's even stronger than the skinny elder!"
Gray's expression turned grave. The green-clothed old man that had appeared was clearly more powerful than the previous old man. His aura was so condensed that it seemed to have substance, as if it was about to transform into the pressure of a 'king'.
He felt that even with his current defense, he would not be able to last long against the elder. The elder's strength should have already exceeded that of a normal Fang Blood Warrior.
If he was not wrong, this elder was very likely a Desolate Blood Warrior who had already completed one or two rounds of training. He had already walked very far on the path of a Desolate Blood Warrior.
"Hmph, you indeed have some strength. No wonder you dare to provoke the Nahum family …"
The green-robed elder looked at Gray with a cold look in his eyes.
"Provoke the Nahum family?
Nahum family, can you be any more shameless? "
Gray was angered by the elder's words and sneered.
"If you want to take by force, then take by force. Don't label others as' provokers' for no reason.
Such a big Duke family, don't you even have this bit of courage? "
The two Warner Nahum brothers had slandered him for secretly harming the Nahum family's servants. The skinny elder had slandered him for being an enemy of the Nahum family, and the green-clothed elder had slandered him for provoking the Nahum family.
It should be said that they were truly worthy of being from the same family. Their words were all equally shameless. The moment they had arrived, they had labeled him with a big label. Then, they could safely kill him without tarnishing their own reputation. After all, he was the one who had provoked them first.
"You don't know what's good for you. Even now, you still dare to slander the Nahum family!
“
The skinny elder reprimanded.
"Slander?
Don't you know in your heart whether I'm slandering you? "
Gray sneered.
"Not only did you provoke the Nahum family, but you also dared to slander the Nahum family. Today, I will use your blood to wash away the insult to the Nahum family!"
The green-robed old man's eyes were filled with intense killing intent, locking onto Gray like two sharp blades.
The skinny old man locked onto Gray from another direction. His eyes were also filled with murderous intent.
"I have no choice but to use the forbidden artifact!"
Gray prepared to take out the forbidden artifact.
Facing two Desolate Blood warriors, one of whom had most likely completed one or two rounds of cultivation, had already exceeded the limits of what he could contend with at the moment.
Only a forbidden artifact could deter the two of them. Although they could also use spatial teleportation to leave, Earl Fergus and the others who stayed here would most likely be in danger.
"Stop!"
The two elders prepared to attack Gray, and Gray prepared to take out the forbidden artifact. The atmosphere was on the verge of exploding. At this moment, a cold voice rang out. The crowd in the distance parted, and a group of people walked out.
The leader was a young woman in a blue dress.
The woman had a head of gorgeous purple hair. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly and was as soft as silk.
She had a slender figure, a flawless face, and skin as white as jade. Her body exuded an incomparable nobility.
"Your Highness the Second Princess!"
"Your Highness the Second Princess!"
…
Seeing her appear, the surrounding aristocratic family members could not help but greet her respectfully. This person was Sophia.
"Your Highness the Second Princess, I'm sorry to have alarmed you. It's not that the Nahum family is bullying you. It's him who attacked the Nahum family and provoked the Nahum family first!"
Seeing Sophia appear, the two Warner Nahum brothers and some other members of the Nahum family hurriedly greeted her and respectfully explained to Sophia.
Sophia turned her head and looked coldly at Warner Nahum who spoke. Her eyes were cold, and the latter's heart thumped. He had a bad feeling.
"Don't you find it strange? With the Nahum family's intelligence capabilities, why haven't they found any traces of him after searching for more than a year?"
Sophia asked coldly.
"Your Highness the Second Princess, you mean …"
Cold sweat appeared on Warner Nahum's forehead, and the bad feeling in his heart intensified. No matter how he looked at it, the Second Princess did not seem to be just a coincidence. Otherwise, how would she know that the Nahum family had been searching for him for more than a year?
"I was the one who stopped the Nahum family from searching."
Sophia said coldly, and then her voice was filled with anger.
"The threat of the Flame Kingdom is imminent, but you're robbing the nobles who came to support. Warner Nahum, is there anything you don't dare to do?"
"Your Highness the Second Princess, I, I …"
Warner Nahum panicked. With the Nahum family's intelligence capabilities, they could not find the other party. He was indeed a little puzzled, but after knowing that there was news of the other party, he did not think too much about it.
But he did not expect that behind the scenes, it was the royal family who was obstructing them. Moreover, the other party seemed to have a close relationship with the Second Princess. Otherwise, why would the Second Princess stop them and stand up for him in public?
Slap!
A palm appeared and slapped Warner Nahum's face fiercely. Immediately, Warner Nahum was sent flying and fell to the ground, blood flowing from his mouth.
The one who made the move was a majestic man who somewhat resembled Warner Nahum. This was the current head of the Nahum family. He looked at Sophia with an apologetic face.
"Your Highness the Second Princess, please forgive him. Everything was done by this playboy on his own initiative. It was not the Nahum family's intention. My father and uncle were also deceived by him!"
Sophia took a deep look at the current head of the Nahum family and said.
"Duke Nahum, please strengthen your discipline. This kind of behavior is a disgrace to the nobles' reputation and smearing the reputation of the nobles of the entire Purple Moon Kingdom."
Such a large-scale mobilization of the Nahum family's forces was obviously not something a direct descendant could do. However, she had to give the Nahum family a way out.
After all, she was only a princess of the royal family and not the heir to the throne. Although her status was precious, she did not have much power. Strictly speaking, she did not have the right to give orders to the Nahum family.
Therefore, she could only use the general situation to pressure the Nahum family and force the Nelm family to make concessions. Moreover, she could not go too far. Otherwise, it would backfire and cause the Nahum family to tear apart their pretense and disregard their reputation.
"Your Highness the Second Princess is right. I will strengthen my discipline."
Duke Riem hurriedly said.
The storm had completely ended with the Nahum family's concession and Gray's victory. Gray's name was destined to spread among the nobles of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Although he was a nobleman and was only in his twenties, he had the strength to contend with the Desolate Blood Warriors. Such a battle record could be called a miracle.
Of course, more people felt that Gray must have relied on some kind of magical weapon to be able to do so. However, even if he relied on a magical weapon, being able to contend with the Desolate Blood Warriors at such a young age was already extremely extraordinary.
"Your Excellency Gray, if you have time in the future, please come to the Addison family for a visit!"
The potential that Gray had displayed made the eyes of many forces light up. Now that he could contend with the Desolate Blood Warriors, his future achievements would definitely not be low.
Some families expressed goodwill to Gray, such as the Addison family, the Kenneth family, the Cumberland family, and so on. However, some families maintained a distance from Gray because of the Nahum family.
Although the Nahum family had given up on dealing with Gray because of Sophia, the Nahum family would probably not give up so easily.
After all, Sophia was a princess without any real power. When she was present, she could naturally intimidate the Nahum family. However, if she was not present, she might not be able to intimidate the Nahum family.
"Gray, your injuries?"
Earl Fergus, Zaro, Polly, and the others surrounded Gray. Looking at the wounds all over his body, they were both worried and shocked.
Although they knew that Gray was extremely powerful, they did not expect Gray to be so powerful that he could actually contend with a Desolate Blood Warrior.
"I'm fine. They're all minor injuries."
Gray shook his head and then looked at Sophia, who was walking over.
"Many thanks!"
"No need."
Sophia frowned and warned him.
"Be careful in the future. The Nahum family will probably not let this matter rest!"
"I understand."
Gray nodded solemnly. He could naturally see that the Nahum family would not let this matter rest so easily.
However, the current situation was far less troublesome than before. After today's incident, the Nahum family would definitely not dare to openly attack the Fergus family. Otherwise, it would incur the wrath of the public.
The biggest possibility was that they would secretly attack him. With the forbidden artifact and spatial teleportation, he believed that he would give them a "surprise" when the time came.
There were three people beside Sophia. One of them was the bearded man, Teresa. There were also two young women named Elaine and Julie. They were all Gray's acquaintances.
Among them, the bearded man Teresa said.
"What a jerk. There are rumors that the Nahum family likes to take things by force. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true!"
In the following days, the storm caused by Gray gradually subsided. All attention was directed to the great enemy, the Flame Kingdom.
While paying close attention to the movements of the Flame Kingdom, several high-level aristocratic meetings had been held.
Gray did not participate in such meetings. Although he was qualified in terms of strength, his status was far from enough. After all, he was only a descendant of an aristocratic family.
On this day, the Purple Moon Kingdom's aristocratic alliance finally made a move. They left Nehem City and split into three groups, attacking the Flame Kingdom's alliance from three different directions.
Two of the groups, the Nehem family and the Addison family each led two Marquis family and more than ten small aristocratic families to attack the Flame Kingdom's alliance from the flanks.
The remaining group consisted of the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family, the Kenneth family, the remaining three Marquis family, and many small aristocratic families. They formed the main force to attack the Flame Kingdom's alliance from the front.
Gray's Sidney family was in this group.
