David spoke.

The lords and nobles in the hall rose one by one and then gradually left.

"Lord Duke." The Earl of Desolate Wolf opened his mouth.

He felt that letting them go so easily seemed a bit too merciful.

"Don't worry, no one can escape." David smiled slightly.

The contract has been formed, and he was also curious to see if violating the terms of the contract would lead to any changes.

...

In the evening.

David came to Yuna's room.

At this moment, Yuna's mood seemed quite good.

Upon returning home this time, she noticed a change in the attitudes of her parents and brothers.

Even though she was just the Duke's lover, she received the respect of everyone, and learning that she had activated the Desolate Wolf Bloodline, everyone's expressions changed even more, and she saw intense jealousy in her third brother's eyes.

Thinking about it, she suddenly didn't feel so resentful toward her father.

"Lord Duke, let me attend to your rest." Yuna approached and said.

"Alright."

David nodded and let Yuna undress him.

In no time, the two began their cultivation, and Yuna displayed particular enthusiasm today, beginning with initiating back position cultivation with David.

Then, moving to the normal position, David, at the appropriate moment, lifted Yuna's body, maintaining a kneeling posture, holding Yuna in his arms. Yuna's suspended waist gave the appearance of an upside-down stance, much like those seen in national dramas.

This posture was indeed a very challenging move, with excellent cultivation results, and since Yuna was in an inverted position, he could observe even more clearly!

[You completed a cultivation session, Wilderness Mountain Wolf Bloodline +45]

[Wilderness Mountain Wolf Bloodline: Tier Two (368/5000)]

Yuna's strength was improving quite fast, with his help, various resources, and system feedback, coupled with her own relentless cultivation, her strength had risen from Tier One to Tier Two, with cultivation effects improving as well.

However, Yuna, being the type to focus on cultivation, had a rather cold temperament, and most of the cultivation effects came from bloodline feedback, so the outcomes were not very satisfactory.

Of course, in playing the role of a lover, Yuna's performance was very satisfactory, at least David found each cultivation session with her extremely pleasant.

Every time he cultivated with Yuna, he could do so wantonly, stopping only when Yuna's consciousness became hazy and her body trembled with satisfaction.

...

While resting at night, David closed his eyes.

Just now, he felt a disturbance from the Heart of Contract.

Clearly, someone had violated their Oath of Loyalty and faced backlash.

"Hmm, the Heart of Contract directly devoured the other's soul?"

David's heart stirred, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He could feel that the Heart of Contract, after devouring that soul, had become stronger, and even he, as the master of the Heart of Contract, received feedback.

"What a pity, there's too little spiritual power feedback."

"If it could devour stronger souls, it might be useful."

David was moved but then shook his head.

He had the capability for Soul Absorption, so there was no need to enhance his spiritual power in this manner.

If he could craft a Contract Book from the Heart of Contract and promote it widely, perhaps it could be of some use when more people used it.

However, having now tested the effects of the Heart of Contract, he felt relieved.

Thus, this turmoil in the Northern Lands could finally come to an end!

Moving forward, he only needed to watch as the betrayers each revealed themselves. Anyway, none would escape!

The next day.

David rose early, with Yuna serving him.

As he left the room, he saw the waiting Earl of Desolate Wolf.

"What happened?" David asked calmly.

The Earl of Desolate Wolf responded in a low voice, "A noble in the city has died."

He finished speaking, watching the Duke's expression.

"Oh."

"I see."

"They broke the Oath of Loyalty; you handle it accordingly."

Upon hearing the Duke's words, the Earl of Desolate Wolf was taken aback.

Though he had suspected, he hadn't anticipated it was truly the Duke's doing, but now, in Beiyuan City, only the Duke could accomplish such a feat.

His demeanor grew more respectful, thankful for his chosen allegiance.

After bowing out, the Earl of Desolate Wolf handled the matter, directly informing other nobles that the deceased had betrayed the Duke and had faced his severe punishment, warning others to take heed!

Not long after, the Earl of Desolate Wolf indeed found some evidence at the deceased noble's residence, confirming that these nobles had indeed betrayed the Duke!

Once the news spread, Beiyuan City was in shock. Though it was unclear how the Duke had ascertained the situation, no one was willing to gamble.

Those nobles who hadn't complied yet sighed in relief, while even those who had dared not attempt anything further.

David stayed in Beiyuan City for a day, during which two other nobles died from contract backlash, with all their wealth naturally confiscated and taken by David.

The next day, David left Beiyuan City, planning to visit other territories to have the nobles and lords sign the Oath of Loyalty.

The journey was very smooth, as the contents of the Oath of Loyalty were widely known, even detailing the responsibilities of the lords.

On the third day, David suddenly received news from Reina, and he returned to Frost Wolf Ridge immediately.
