Solomon Armor

Inside the imperial study, Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe discussed Duke Luo Ya's death. In the end, Xue Qinghe left the imperial study carrying an order.

Inside the Chen Ge Pot~

Gu Shenggo brought Hu Yun and her daughter, along with the Twin Snake Girls, into the Chen Ge Pot.

The inner world was vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see. Even with Gu Shenggo's eyesight, he could not see its end. It was at least several thousand square kilometers in size.

Before Gu Shenggo stood an enormous nine-story pavilion, built entirely from golden-thread nanmu wood. It was exquisitely elegant yet imposing, with upturned eaves and flying roofs. The glazed tiles atop it shimmered with scattered light beneath the sun.

The plaque above the pavilion was blank, waiting for Gu Shenggo to name it.

"From now on, this will be where you live."

Gu Shenggo pointed at the nine-story pavilion as he spoke to Hu Yun and her daughter, as well as the Twin Snake Girls. He could not keep them by his side forever, and with the Chen Ge Pot, he no longer needed to worry about so many things.

Hu Yun and Bai Yujie looked around in amazement. So this was the world inside the Chen Ge Pot? It was so huge!

"Master, do you mean we'll be staying in here from now on?"

A charming smile rested on Hu Yun's mature, beautiful face. Her voice was sweet and seductive as she questioned Gu Shenggo.

Gu Shenggo nodded and led them into the nine-story pavilion—or rather, the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.

There were countless rooms within the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, no fewer than a hundred. Gu Shenggo selected two rooms for Hu Yun and her daughter, and the Twin Snake Girls.

"These are your identity plaques."

Gu Shenggo took out four plaques carved from Crimson Spirit Warm Jade and handed them to the women. They represented their identities. Hu Yun and Bai Yujie wore them around their jade-white necks, the crimson jade plaques contrasting against their snowy skin and making them especially alluring.

She Yan'er raised her hand and directly tore off the jade plaque. Shame and anger appeared on her cold, beautiful face. She refused to be Gu Shenggo's pet.

"Qing'er, don't wear it!"

She sharply stopped her younger sister, telling her not to wear the jade plaque either. This displeased Gu Shenggo. He raised his hand and seized She Yan'er by the throat, saying coldly:

"Looks like you still need some discipline!"

She Yan'er was immediately choked until she could barely breathe. She raised her jade-white hands and repeatedly struck Gu Shenggo's arm, while her alluring snake tail writhed and struggled nonstop.

At the side, She Qing'er hurriedly threw her arms around Gu Shenggo. A trace of panic appeared in her pale violet eyes, and she pleaded with him in a soft, gentle voice.

"Master, please let my sister go. She didn't mean it. Please."

Hearing She Qing'er's plea and feeling her trembling, soft body, Gu Shenggo released his hand and casually tossed She Yan'er aside. Then he pulled She Qing'er into his embrace. Seeing her panicked expression, he stroked her hair and comforted her gently.

"Be good. Your master will listen to you and spare your sister."

Faced with Gu Shenggo's gentleness, a faint blush rose on She Qing'er's face, and ripples stirred in her heart. She felt that Gu Shenggo was so gentle with her, nothing like the brutal man she had imagined.

"Thank you, Master~"

She Qing'er nestled in Gu Shenggo's arms, her voice soft and sweet, innocent and adorable.

Gu Shenggo looked with satisfaction at the weak and delicate Snake Woman in his arms. Compared to the stubborn She Yan'er, She Qing'er was much easier to tame. So long as he treated her gently, she would obey him.

When She Yan'er saw her younger sister's obedient appearance in Gu Shenggo's embrace, rage appeared on her cold, beautiful face. She wanted nothing more than to fight Gu Shenggo to the death.

But when she thought of the vast gap in their strength, her eyes filled with unwillingness!

"Qing'er, remember this: you are Master's good pet. Don't be as disobedient as your sister."

Gu Shenggo stroked She Qing'er's hair and whispered gently into her ear. She Qing'er nodded slightly, utterly compliant.

That was the difference between the two sisters.

After settling Hu Yun and her daughter, as well as the twin sisters, Gu Shenggo left the Chen Ge Pot.

Gu Shenggo had the hotel manager prepare a carriage for him. He was going to Sunset Forest.

The manager hurriedly prepared the hotel's finest carriage and watched Gu Shenggo depart, while also passing on the news of his trip to Sunset Forest to the Crown Prince.

The carriage sped through the streets of Heaven Dou City, and no one dared stop it. Even the soldiers guarding the gates immediately let it pass. Everyone riding in Tianhe Hotel's carriages was Heaven Dou City nobility.

Several hours later~

The carriage arrived outside Sunset Forest. Gu Shenggo stepped down from it, casually gave the driver a bag of Gold Soul Coins as a tip, then flashed away and entered Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest was smaller than Star Dou Great Forest, and the number of soul beasts within it was far lower. Powerful soul beasts were even rarer.

Gu Shenggo moved through Sunset Forest completely unhindered. He did not need to be as cautious as he had been in Star Dou Great Forest, nor did he have to worry about a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or a ferocious beast suddenly appearing.

Within the dense forest, a figure flashed continuously. With every step he took, he appeared dozens of meters away. His destination was the several-hundred-meter hill at the heart of the forest, shaped like a volcanic crater.

The hill was exceptionally steep, but beneath Gu Shenggo's feet, it was as flat as level ground as he headed straight for its mouth.

Before reaching the summit, Gu Shenggo felt a wave of hot, damp air rolling toward him, mixed with a faint sulfurous scent.

"Who goes there!"

Just as Gu Shenggo reached the entrance to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he heard an angry shout. A dark green figure appeared not far away in the mountain hollow. He had a gloomy, aged face, sickly green hair, and wore dark green light armor. His body was gaunt, and a foul stench rushed toward Gu Shenggo, making him feel nauseated.

The dark green figure was none other than Dugu Bo. His dark green eyes gleamed with cold, sinister intent, and killing intent surged around him. Nine soul rings emerged and circled his body as a powerful aura, accompanied by intensely foul poisonous gas, swept forward.

Even a Soul Douluo would fall victim if they were careless, becoming entangled in Dugu Bo's poisonous gas and dying when the poison took effect.

He attacked without even speaking first. As expected of the Poison Douluo who had once massacred an entire city with poison.

Gu Shenggo calmly took out the Book of Solomon. This was the perfect opportunity to test the Book of Solomon's power and see how many moves Dugu Bo could withstand.

He opened the first page of the Book of Solomon~

[The Power of Omniscience and Omnipotence]

A deep voice filled with endless majesty sounded from the Book of Solomon. At the same time, the Book Slot Driver appeared at his waist.

[When the legendary holy sword merges with the chosen book, great power shall be unleashed!]

Gu Shenggo snapped the Book of Solomon shut and inserted it into the driver at his waist. He then pressed the page-turning switch, and the Book of Solomon opened again, revealing the image page of Divine Knight Solomon.

A gigantic Book of Solomon descended behind Gu Shenggo and opened. Dark red mist flowed out from the book and enveloped him. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he said in a deep voice:

"Transform."

[Open the anthology—Power of God!]

A majestic, weighty book sound effect rang out. Countless golden particles appeared and gathered around Gu Shenggo, beginning to form the God Knight armor.

[Divine Knight Solomon!]

The exquisite, magnificent golden knight armor was covered in mysterious and majestic patterns and markings. Behind him was a dark red cape capable of redirecting any energy attack, while a golden greatsword appeared in Gu Shenggo's hand.

[Nightmares are about to descend!]

(Dugu Bo was never a good person. This was justice on Heaven's behalf—just kill him.)
