Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 129 The Arrogant Pretender King

In the lands of the Southern Border, a saying was passed around.

The Southern Border army ruled the Southern Border, but the Witch Sect was the true king without a crown!

No matter where in the Southern Border one pulled aside a person and asked them whether they feared the Southern Border army more or the Witch Sect more.

Nine out of ten people would unhesitatingly speak of the Witch Sect.

Although the Witch Sect hid within the vast mountains of the Southern Border and seldom appeared, whether it was the strange and unpredictable Gu insects or the unknown powerful ones within the Witch Sect, all became the sources of fear in the hearts of the people of the Southern Border.

The Witch Sect did not actively seek out trouble with them, which was already considered a great fortune; who would dare to actively attack the Witch Sect?

Looking over nearly a hundred years in the Southern Border, only the then-young Southern Border King, who was unafraid of tigers, dared to lead his men to attack the Witch Sect.

The end of the Southern Border King was indeed tragic, and the fact that the Southern Border King was defeated by the hands of the Witch Sect once again sounded an alarm to everyone in the Southern Border that the Witch Sect was not to be provoked!

Now that the Northern Liao King brought up the matter of attacking the Witch Sect again, it was no wonder that the four pretender kings were so stunned.

Even the Southern Border King's eyes carried a hint of doubt.

"Northern Liao King, the Witch Sect has been entrenched in the vast mountains for hundreds of years, and no one knows exactly how many powerful individuals are within it."

"If we rashly go to attack the Witch Sect, I fear that nine out of ten will return in a miserable defeat!"

Experience more on empire

The Hidden Qi King said with a heavy voice.

Ye Ling swept his gaze over several people and said lightly, "Is that also what you all think?"

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this, even the Southern Border King nodded along.

Then the Southern Border King spoke, "Northern Liao King, I had personally visited the Witch Sect in the past. Even with my great grandmaster peak strength, I couldn't manage to enter the gates of the Witch Sect..."

"At that time, a streak of light flew out from within the Witch Sect. I couldn't even react in time as the light had already entered my body. Subsequently, I fell into unconsciousness and, fortunately, was carried out of the vast mountains by others."

"Now that I think about it, that streak of light must have been an Ice Spirit Gu..."

Speaking of his previous encounter within the Witch Sect, the Southern Border King still felt lingering fears.

Ye Ling nodded slightly, then spoke, "If I am not mistaken, the one who threw the Ice Spirit Gu at you should have been a war king level strong one, and certainly not an early stage one like Miyamoto Musashi!"

Upon these remarks, everyone's expressions changed again.

Without waiting for several people to speak, Ye Ling continued, "You all think the Witch Sect hides within the vast mountains and does not involve itself with the external world, but I have encountered Gu insects and people from the Witch Sect in both Jinling and Gusu."

The three of them knelt on one knee and respectfully announced.

The Southern Border King nodded slightly, and then said, "A few days ago I had messengers deliver my royal orders to the pretender kings of the Southern Border. Were you three charged with delivering them to the Medicine King, Jade Mountain King, and Sky Ridge King?"

"Yes, sir, it was us!"

The three simultaneously replied.

"Did you fail to convey my royal order to them? Why haven't these three come to my Southern Border Army's headquarters?"

The Southern Border King asked with a furrowed brow.

One of them immediately responded, "Sir, we would never dare to defy your orders. After receiving the assignment, we went directly to the headquarters of those three."

"However, all three were together at the Medicine King's residence when I conveyed your wishes to them."

"Those three then..."

Seeing him hesitate and not daring to continue, the Southern Border King's expression darkened, and he coldly said, "What did those three do? Speak!"

Shouted by the Southern Border King, the soldier trembled.

Not daring to hesitate further, he blurted out, "They said, 'Who does the Southern Border King think he is? He isn't worthy of having us come to the Southern Border Army headquarters personally...'"

"I intended to argue with them, but alas, I couldn't match their strength, and the Medicine King threw me out of the residence..."

Hearing the Southern Border soldier's words, the Southern Border King's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Bang!"

Finally, the Southern Border King slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair, standing up abruptly.

"Summon someone! Have the Three Elders of the Farmland come to see me!"

The Southern Border King roared furiously.

Footsteps gradually receded outside the council hall.

The Hidden Qi King and his three companions could not help but chuckle inwardly. What status do the Three Elders of the Farmland have? How could they possibly come in person to meet the Southern Border King!

But in no time, the Three Elders of the Farmland had already arrived in the council hall.

However, they ignored the Southern Border King and walked straight to Ye Ling, bowing and saying, "We have seen the Northern Liao King!"

Seeing this scene, the Hidden Qi King and his friends were utterly dumbfounded.
