Chapter 132 Negotiation
The next morning, Ye Ling left the villa early.
He arrived alone at the villa of the Southern Border King.
The two people guarding the outside of the villa immediately came to greet him upon seeing Ye Ling arrive.
"Greetings, Northern Liao King!"
The two men said respectfully.
Ye Ling nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I am here to see the Southern Border King. Please inform him of my arrival."
"Yes, Northern Liao King!"
One of them immediately responded and then turned to enter the villa.
Soon, the Southern Border King strode out from inside the villa.
"Greetings, Northern Liao King!"
The Southern Border King bowed slightly to Ye Ling and said.
Ye Ling nodded with a smile and said, "I apologize for disturbing the Southern Border King so early in the morning."
"Ah, what are you saying, Northern Liao King!"
The Southern Border King quickly interjected, then continued, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had such glory yesterday!"
"Please come in, Northern Liao King, let's talk inside!"
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and followed the Southern Border King into the villa.
After the two took their seats, a guard immediately poured a cup of tea for each of them.
Then the guard withdrew.
The Southern Border King looked at Ye Ling and said in a deep voice, "I assume, Northern Liao King, that you have come to see me so early about the Witch Clan?"
"Indeed!"
Ye Ling did not deny and spoke directly.
However, the Southern Border King paused, then slowly said, "Does the Northern Liao King perhaps want to ask me about Leader Xue's matter?"
Ye Ling looked at him, and just that look made the Southern Border King's heart suddenly skip a beat.
Without waiting for Ye Ling to speak, the Southern Border King quickly began to explain, "Northern Liao King, please don't misunderstand, I did not intend to investigate you!"
"But back then, when I entered the Great Wilderness with Leader Xue, before he fell from the cliff, he told me that he and you, Northern Liao King, were cousins!"
"Good!"
Ye Ling nodded and then left the villa with the Southern Border King, heading straight for the council hall.
When the two of them entered the council hall, the three Elders and Wang Tiezhu, the four commanders, had all arrived.
Upon seeing Ye Ling and the Southern Border King, everyone immediately stood up to greet them with respectful expressions, saying, "We have seen the Northern Liao King, Southern Border King!"
"Please, take your seats."
The Southern Border King waved his hand and said.
Ye Ling did not speak. After all, this was the military council hall of the Southern Border Army and the Southern Border King was beside him, so naturally he would not deliberately speak out to steal the spotlight.
After everyone was seated, Chen Dao also immediately entered the council hall.
As for Ye Jiu and He Feng, they continued to be responsible for protecting Su Rou.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin," said the Southern Border King, his gaze sweeping over the assembled crowd. Read exclusive adventures at empire
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression became serious.
"I have gathered you here because the Northern Liao King wants to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains and go into the Witch's Gate."
"Regarding this trip to the Witch's Gate, feel free to raise any opinions you might have," added the Southern Border King, speaking gravely.
He had led the troops to the Witch's Gate himself and was naturally aware of their strength, which was why he appeared more cautious than anyone else.
As his words fell, the eldest of the three Elders of the Gardens was the first to speak, "Lords, the Witch's Gate has been entrenched in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for hundreds of years, and their strength is probably beyond our imagination!"
"Moreover, the terrain inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains is perilous, filled with high mountains and steep ridges, hardly suitable for a large army to enter."
"A large army entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains is instead likely to be restricted, but if we were to send a small team into the mountains, we might not be a match for the Witch's Gate ..."
Upon hearing the Elder's words, others present also showed approving expressions.
Even Chen Dao, far in Northern Liao, was well aware of the formidable nature of the Witch's Gate.
A sect that had been able to hold its position in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for hundreds of years was not to be underestimated.
The safest action would be for the Southern Border Army to attack the Hundred Thousand Mountains directly and annihilate the Witch's Gate.
Under the crushing hooves of tens of thousands of Southern Border Army troops, even if the Witch's Gate had more than one War King expert, they would perish on the spot!
However, without the Southern Border Army's large forces entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, everyone here would be uncertain when facing the Witch's Gate.
Even though Ye Ling could easily kill Miyamoto Musashi, who had just stepped into the War King realm, Miyamoto Musashi was after all only at the initial stage of the War King realm and could not truly represent the formidable combat power of a War King.
And since the Witch's Gate had existed for such a long time, there must be War King experts within it, and they would not likely be at an ordinary War King level, at least not like Miyamoto Musashi who was only in the early stages of the War King realm!
