Chapter 107 The Cause of the Coma
The Countryside Elders, after the death of the Old Southern Border King, are akin to pillars of faith within the entire Southern Border army!
When the Southern Border King first took office, his prestige was even inferior to these three elders.
Commander Wang led the Countryside Elders straight to the council hall.
Along the way, all the Southern Border soldiers who saw the Countryside Elders, after exclaiming in surprise, showed a respectful expression on their faces!
One must know that such treatment is something even the Southern Border King himself has never enjoyed.
This clearly demonstrates the Countryside Elders' prestige within the Southern Border army!
To put it without exaggeration, whoever could secure the support of these three individuals, becoming the new Southern Border King, was almost a sure thing!
Under Commander Wang's lead, the three elders soon entered the conference hall of the Southern Border army.
"Elders, you've finally come!"
Upon seeing the Countryside Elders, the Southern Border King immediately stood up to greet them.
The fact that the Southern Border King, the ruler of Southern Border, stood up to greet them, showed how highly the Countryside Elders were regarded within the Southern Border army!
Ye Ling and Chen Dao sat in a corner of the council hall, quietly watching everything unfold before them.
As for Su Rou, she was still resting, protected by Ye Jiu and He Feng.
"Sir, these three old men don't seem to show much respect for this Southern Border King, do they?"
Chen Dao leaned over to Ye Ling and whispered.
Ye Ling's lips curled into a smile, laughing lightly, "Other people's family affairs, they don't concern us much, just watch."
Hearing this, Chen Dao no longer spoke, quietly taking the seat next to Ye Ling.
The Southern Border King is the ruler of Southern Border, as for the rest of the people in Southern Border, no matter their strength or status, they all fall beneath the Southern Border King!
Seeing the Countryside Elders dare to disregard the Southern Border King so, naturally, Chen Dao felt quite astonished.
After all, such a thing would never happen in Northern Liao.
Ye Ling, being the Northern Liao King, had long forged the entire Northern Liao army into a solid unit!
No matter who it was or how powerful they were when facing Ye Ling, they would refer to themselves as subordinates and would never dare show such a superior attitude!
Not to mention the Northern Liao army, even among the large forces within Northern Liao, which one would dare not to bow and address Ye Ling as 'Sir' when meeting this Northern Liao King!
What exactly this incense burner was, he of course knew better than anyone else.
The reason why the Southern Border King had been in a coma for three years, in addition to the influence of the Ice Spirit Gu, was primarily due to the substance being burned in this incense burner!
"Heh, it seems our Southern Border's 'premier Divine Doctor' recognizes what this incense burner is?"
"I must ask you, is this the incense burner that you, Li Zhiyuan, brought into my thatched cottage three years ago?"
"And, is it you, Li Zhiyuan, who has been burning the contents of this incense burner continuously in that thatched cottage over these three years!"
The Southern Border King sneered, his words overflowing with murderous aura.
Having said that, the Southern Border King turned his gaze towards the calm and collected Three Elders of the pastoral lands.
He said in a voice filled with vehemence, "I have invited the Three Elders here today to bear witness!"
"This Li Zhiyuan, as the premier Divine Doctor of the Southern Border, has made his move against me in secret after I was inflicted with the Ice Spirit Gu!"
"The Three Elders have seen it, the ashes in that incense burner are of a mind-bewildering incense. If one is exposed to an environment with this incense over a long duration, even a Grandmaster like me at the pinnacle of mastery can be plunged into unconsciousness!"
As he spoke, the Southern Border King took out a piece of cloth from his waist.
In front of the Three Elders, he unfolded the cloth in his hand.
On it were some brown residues.
"Three Elders, please look at this. The substance remaining on this cloth is a toxic herb produced in the Southern Border!"
"This herb may suppress the Ice Spirit Gu within my body, but prolonged ingestion of it can, at the very least, significantly decrease one's cultivation level, or at worst, lead to death!"
The voice of the Southern Border King was filled with murderous intent.
If it weren't for Ye Ling's sudden arrival, I would either have spent my life bedridden in that thatched cottage or died directly from the effects of this mind-bewildering incense and poison!"
And it was only with Ye Ling's reminder that I found out the real reason I had been in a coma for a full three years!
"Three Elders, the physical evidence is all here!"
"This Li Zhiyuan plotted to murder me and throw the Southern Border into chaos!"
"Whether by the laws of the Southern Border or by the edicts of the Dragon Nation, the penalty should be death!"
The Southern Border King abruptly turned to look at the Medicine King, his voice cold and bone-chilling.
In his gaze towards the Medicine King, aside from the naked murderous intent, there was also a trace of deep-seated hatred!
