Chapter 109 One Move
As the majestic king of the Southern Border, forced by his own people to seek assistance from Ye Ling, the Northern Liao King.
It has to be said, the Southern Border King truly was a failure!
Seeing the Southern Border King turn his gaze to Ye Ling, whether it was the three elders of the Idyllic Gardens or those three pretender kings, they all unconsciously furrowed their brows.
"Northern Liao King, it was you who roused this king from unconsciousness; regarding the dangers this king has faced, you hold the greatest authority to speak,"
"This king would like to ask you to step forward and attest that it was indeed Li Zhiyuan who plotted against this king,"
the Southern Border King said to Ye Ling.
Hearing this, Ye Ling sighed softly in his heart.
This Southern Border King really was useless, with the situation so clear before his eyes, yet he still clung to the Medicine King!
The three elders of the Idyllic Gardens and those three pretender kings had clearly formed an alliance; even if he was the Southern Border King, on his own territory in the Southern Border, he would probably be powerless to oppose this collective group with vested interests!
To have executed one of the protector's under the Medicine King, and to push all the responsibility for the Southern Border King's three years of unconsciousness onto this dead man was undoubtedly an attempt to bring this matter to a direct close.
For the Southern Border King, the best choice right now would be to remain silent and quietly wait for developments to unfold.
But by directly asking Ye Ling to step in right now, was without doubt, an intent to tear through this facade with the three elders of the Idyllic Gardens and those three pretender kings!
Such behavior was utterly foolish!
"Southern Border King, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"The Northern Liao King is preoccupied with a myriad of matters; Northern Liao is embroiled in constant war all year round, how could he possibly come to our Southern Border?"
"It seems Li Zhiyuan was right, you've been fooled by this youngster who dares to impersonate the Northern Liao King!"
One of the three elders, frowning, said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the Southern Border King felt as if the world was spinning around him!
The Northern Liao King, what a figure he was, known to all in the Dragon Country's four great war regions!
And as the very pinnacle of martial prowess within the Southern Border's forces, the three elders of the Idyllic Gardens naturally had seen the Northern Liao King before, but now they were pretending to be confused seeing Ye Ling, feigning ignorance of the Northern Liao King!
"You old fool, such gall you have, to brazenly insult his Lordship! Truly seeking death!"
It was at this moment that Ye Ling's voice suddenly rang out, "Stop!"
Heeding the word, the descending foot immediately halted.
Chen Dao withdrew his foot, glancing contemptuously at the old man on the ground who was trembling in fear and said coldly, "His lordship is merciful; otherwise, you would already be a corpse by now!"
The old man didn't dare to argue, his body trembling slightly, looking scared and shocked.
At this point, where was there any hint of the imposing presence that one of the three elders of the rural area, a peak martial force of the Southern Border, should have? Instead, he seemed more like an ordinary old man who was relieved to have just escaped death!
"Hmph! If anyone dares to insult his lordship again, think about whether you can withstand my foot!"
Chen Dao's icy, bone-chilling gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke coldly.
After that, he returned to sit quietly beside Ye Ling, showing no hint of his domineering presence from just moments before!
Ye Ling looked over the people in the council hall with an indifferent gaze and said with a light chuckle, "Now, does anyone still doubt my identity?"
Everyone was silent, not daring to speak.
Indeed, Ye Ling was the Northern Liao King; this was something everyone knew in their hearts.
Their reluctance to acknowledge Ye Ling's identity was nothing more than an excuse to lay hands on him.
But no one had expected that Ye Ling's subordinates would possess such strength!
Even the three venerable elders of the rural area couldn't withstand a single move from Ye Ling's hands; if Ye Ling had not spoken up at the last moment, perhaps today would be the day the three elders became two!
"Hehe, since there's no longer any doubt about my identity, let me ask you a few questions," Ye Ling said with a light laugh, then looked towards the three elder and asked, "You three, as subordinates of the Old Southern Border King, united with outsiders to scheme against the Southern Border King after his death. What were your intentions?"
"By doing this, don't you feel that you've betrayed the Old Southern Border King? Without his support back in the day, could the three of you have reached where you are today?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the expressions of the rural trio turned gloomy.
Even the elder who was nearly killed by Chen Dao had returned to his seat, his face just as somber.
After a moment, one of the elders suddenly spoke up, "Northern Liao King jests! The three of us were entrusted by the Old Southern Border King to defend the Southern Border after his demise."
"Now that the Southern Border King has disappeared for three years, and the Southern Border has fallen into turmoil, we naturally have to find a way to maintain its stability!"
"May I ask the Northern Liao King, where did we go wrong? How have we wronged the Old Southern Border King?"
