Chapter 202 The Thoughts of the East Sea King
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have already found a powerful figure to deal with Ming Yi!"
"This is the Eastern Seas, and I am the king of the Eastern Seas, it's not yet Ming Yi's turn to be insolent!"
The King of the Eastern Seas said laughing.
These words once again triggered a wave of cheers from the Martial Artists around.
"Make way!"
Just then, a voice came from the back of the crowd.
Hearing this, a group of Martial Artists surrounding the King of the Eastern Seas all showed displeasure, angrily turning around to look at the speaker.
However, when they saw the appearance of the speaker, the anger on their faces immediately disappeared, replaced by a flattering expression.
The crowd parted, and eight middle-aged men or elders made their way through to the front of the King of the Eastern Seas.
"Li Family's Li Yuan greets the King of the Eastern Seas!"
"Wang Family's Wang Feng greets the King of the Eastern Seas!"
"Zhao Family's Zhao Mingli greets the King of the Eastern Seas!"
...
All eight men spoke, their expressions filled with respect.
The King of the Eastern Seas glanced over each of the eight men, then smiled and nodded, saying, "What brings all the Family Heads to see me?"
These eight were the heads of some martial arts families in the Eastern Seas. Perhaps the strongest in their families were no more than Great Grandmasters, but their status in the Eastern Seas was not too low.
Moreover, if the King of the Eastern Seas wanted to regain control of the Eastern Seas, he naturally needed the support of these martial arts families.
Thus, the King of the Eastern Seas was very polite to these eight family heads of martial arts clans.
"We heard that Ming Yi has issued a challenge to you, your majesty, and has claimed that he would take on all the strong fighters of the Eastern Seas by himself!"
"Although our families are not very strong, we are willing to contribute to the Eastern Seas and to support the King of the Eastern Seas!"
"Before you arrived, your Majesty, we discussed sending the strongest from each family to assist and together deal with Ming Yi,"
said the leading Family Head Li Yuan in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the King of the Eastern Seas raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The strongest of these eight families were only at the level of Great Grandmasters; if faced with a fight against a warrior king, they would undoubtedly die!
However, he did not prematurely reveal Ye Ling, nor did he mention anything about Ye Ling.
Hearing this, the dozens of Family Heads nodded and did not say anything further.
Now that the King of the Eastern Seas was showing signs of a resurgence, they naturally took the opportunity to express their loyalty.
Now that their intention had been conveyed, they naturally would not insist on sending their strong fighters into battle.
After all, since Ming Yi dared to proclaim he could take on all the strong fighters of the entire Eastern Seas by himself, his strength was imaginable.
Those at the level of Great Grandmasters going up against him would likely be going to their deaths.
For these martial arts families, each Great Grandmaster was a treasure, and they naturally would not stand by and watch their Grandmasters go to their deaths.
"Then we shall take our leave first,"
Li Yuan said.
The King of the Eastern Seas nodded slightly, silently noting these Family Heads and their respective families in his mind.
Afterwards, Li Yuan and others retreated, and other family heads stepped forward to find the King of the Eastern Seas, with the same intention of offering their families' strong fighters for the king's cause.
However, they were all declined by the King of the Eastern Seas, whose attitude toward each family, quietly calculated in his mind, would dictate his future interactions with them.
Standing to one side, Ye Ling saw the King of the Eastern Seas in this thoughtful state and also revealed a smile.
After the battle above the Eastern Seas, the King of the Eastern Seas had indeed changed.
Although his strength had not yet recovered, the King of the Eastern Seas's thoughts had now turned to the Eastern Seas.
As the Martial Artists dispersed, Ye Ling suddenly turned to the King of the Eastern Seas and said, "The news of Ming Yi challenging the Eastern Seas, it was you who spread it, wasn't it?"
At this, the King of the Eastern Seas's expression stiffened, looking somewhat embarrassed at Ye Ling.
Then he nodded, admitting what Ye Ling had said.
"I underestimated you,"
Ye Ling said, smiling.
The King of the Eastern Seas shook his head and smiled, saying, "You know how difficult it is for me to regain control of the Eastern Seas with my current strength."
"I had no choice but to resort to this strategy, don't hold it against me."
Ye Ling shook his head, smiling as he said, "It's just a small matter, not worth taking to heart."
"In the upcoming battle with Ming Yi, I will give it my all."
