Chapter 193 The Zhan Family
"Northern Liao King, just what realm have you achieved?"
"To my knowledge, the realm of War King isn't supposed to have such terrifying combat power, is it?"
The Eastern Sea King moved close to Ye Ling, eager to ask.
Ye Ling glanced at him and said indifferently, "What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the Eastern Sea King showed a helpless expression, knowing that Ye Ling did not wish to reveal his own strength.
"Eastern Sea King, is this all the power you have hidden?"
Ye Ling looked at the four Great Grandmasters standing next to the Eastern Sea King, as well as those guards of Grandmaster realm, and spoke.
Hearing this, the Eastern Sea King's expression suddenly darkened, and he said with a grim tone, "Of course not just the guards!"
"I have also contacted the Zhan family, asking them to come to aid at the crucial moment."
"But these Zhan family members have still not appeared; I fear they didn't plan to support me at all!"
The Eastern Sea King's real name was Zhan Lingyun, and the Zhan family he mentioned was naturally his own family.
"Haha, it seems like even in your own family, your status isn't that great, Eastern Sea King?"
Ye Ling said with a light laugh.
The Eastern Sea King's brow twitched, and a hint of anger flared in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, replaced by a look of helplessness.
He said with a bitter smile, "Northern Liao King, you may not understand the situation with my Zhan family."
"In this generation of the Zhan family, besides me, there is another elder son, that is my older brother Zhan Lingqing."
"People think that since I, Zhan Lingyun, have become the Eastern Sea King, I am the best among this generation of the Zhan family, but they don't know that my big brother Zhan Lingqing's abilities are not inferior to mine."
Ye Ling nodded slightly, having some understanding of the Zhan family to which the Eastern Sea King belonged.
However, since Northern Liao was far from the Eastern Sea, he had not paid much attention to the Zhan family, which had dominated the Eastern Sea for many years.
"When I initially became the Eastern Sea King, I was quite prominent in the Zhan family."
"But over the years, as I've aged, my control over the Eastern Sea has rapidly declined, and under Zhan Lingqing's leadership, the Zhan family has grown stronger by the day, thus many voices of opposition have risen within the family."
"Furthermore, with Family Head Zhan Lingqing supporting them, my status in the Zhan family has deteriorated day by day, and I haven't returned to the Zhan family for years."
The Eastern Sea King sighed as he spoke, his old face filled with helplessness.
Ye Ling looked at him and then said, "This time, the Zhan family promised support but has failed to show up. Without me, you probably would have perished in the Eastern Sea."
In just an instant, two or three people were knocked down by Chen Dao.
Luckily, these individuals were at least Dark Energy Martial Artists, so they didn't end up dead on the deck of the Eastern Sea King's cruise ship.
Seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on the face of the Eastern Sea King, as if he was extremely pleased with Chen Dao's actions.
Since there were Martial Artist Kings on the Zhan family's ship, it was naturally not possible to let Chen Dao take action freely on the deck.
After knocking down two or three people, an elderly man with white hair and beard appeared in front of Chen Dao.
The old man's gaze was sinister as he looked at Chen Dao and coldly said, "Who are you, to act so recklessly on the Zhan family's ship? Are you not afraid of death?"
"Afraid of death? Of course I am."
Chen Dao looked at the old man and then continued, "Unfortunately, the number of people who could kill me is not small, but you are definitely not among them."
Even though Chen Dao was just at the peak of a Great Grandmaster, with Ye Ling watching below, he naturally wasn't afraid of an elderly Martial Artist King at the initial stage.
"Good! Very good!"
"To dare talk to me this way, you are the first in many years!"
"To harm my Zhan family's people and damage our prestige, it's enough to sentence you to death!"
The old man said through gritted teeth, his face full of rage.
Before the old man could act, the Eastern Sea King, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, "Great Elder, for my sake, let's drop this matter."
The old man was the Great Elder of the Zhan family.
There are two Martial Artist Kings in the Zhan family, one of whom was the Great Elder in front of him, and the other was Eastern Sea King's elder brother, Zhan Lingqing.
The Great Elder glanced down at the Eastern Sea King and scoffed, "Zhan Lingyun, do you still think you are the once revered Eastern Sea King?"
"For your sake? You are nothing in my eyes!"
"In terms of status, I am still the Great Elder of the Zhan family, what right do you have to speak to me this way?"
The Eastern Sea King's expression immediately darkened, and his face became extremely unsightly.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the Eastern Sea King's status in the Zhan family to have fallen to such a low.
"Great Elder, let me ask you, was today's decision made by Zhan Lingqing?"
The Eastern Sea King asked with an indifferent expression.
The Great Elder gave him a glance and coldly said, "The only person in the Zhan family who could make such a decision is the Family Head!"
