Chapter 98 Announcement to the Southern Border
"The Northern Liao King sure is capable! I admit defeat willingly!"
"I shall take my leave!"
Shi Buyun watched Ye Ling with cold eyes, forcibly suppressing the bone-piercing agony in his arms and the towering rage and murderous intent in his heart, and said coldly.
Having said that, he slowly got to his feet, even if his arms were broken, he was after all a Great Grandmaster!
With just his legs, he could easily stand up and leave.
Shen Lingyun on the side, however, had a complex expression and did not choose to leave at this time.
"Halt, did I say you could go?"
Before Shi Buyun could take a few steps, Ye Ling's indifferent voice already came from behind him.
Shi Buyun's body shook, and he stopped in his tracks.
He turned around to look at Ye Ling and asked in a deep voice, "Northern Liao King, I have already conceded, what else do you want to do?"
"Heh, you think conceding ends the matter?"
Ye Ling let out a cold laugh, then continued, "Come when you want, leave when you wish, who do you think I am?"
"Do you remember the laws of the Dragon Kingdom? Those who offend the kings of the four great war zones, regardless of status or background, shall be killed without mercy!"
Shi Buyun's pupils contracted sharply, and his body trembled continuously at this moment.
His gaze fixed firmly on Ye Ling, he said with a tremulous voice, "Northern Liao King! This is the Southern Border, not Northern Liao. You surely wouldn't dare to kill me here at the Southern Border army's main camp, would you?"
"Do you know I am the strategist of the Southern Border army and also the person most likely to become the next Southern Border King?"
"If you dare to kill me, the Southern Border army will not let you off!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling scoffed disdainfully.
He then waved casually to Chen Dao next to him and said lightly, "Didn't you want to take action long ago? What are you still hesitating for?"
"Ah... Yes! Yes!"
Chen Dao was startled, then quickly reacted.
He looked at Shi Buyun with a ferocious expression, twisting his wrists continuously, creating a series of creaking bone friction sounds.
At the same time, Chen Dao's formidable aura of a peak Great Grandmaster was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
He strode toward Shi Buyun, the murderous intent in his eyes growing stronger.
Shen Lingyun lay prostrate on the ground, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Since Ye Ling dared to kill Shi Buyun in the stronghold of the Southern Border Army, he naturally had the same power to kill him!
A wise man submits to the circumstances, and Shen Lingyun certainly did not want to follow in Shi Buyun's footsteps and die here.
"Get up. Since you have apologized so sincerely, I will not make it difficult for you."
Ye Ling glanced at Shen Lingyun, who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, Shen Lingyun slowly got up, murmuring continuously, "Thank you, Your Excellency, thank you, Your Excellency!"
Ye Ling ignored him and turned his gaze to the body of Shi Buyun!
He then spoke indifferently, "Protector Shen, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself."
"The military strategist of the Southern Border Army, Shi Buyun, attempted to assassinate this king, and now he has been justly executed by my hand. You personally need to make a trip to notify all soldiers of the Southern Border Army, as well as the so-called kings of the several regions of the Southern Border."
Shen Lingyun's expression suddenly changed; at this moment, he understood why Ye Ling had killed Shi Buyun in the stronghold of the Southern Border Army.
To kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
The already dead Shi Buyun served as the chicken, and all those in the Southern Border with some power, including himself, Shen Lingyun, were the monkeys.
The Southern Border was vast and ever since the Southern Border King had announced his seclusion to break through to the level of the War King and had since then been without news, several self-proclaimed kings had emerged in the region.
These self-proclaimed kings had taken over many territories of the Southern Border, establishing their own power base, intending to vie for dominance over the Southern Border.
The appearance of these individuals was somewhat akin to the situation where 'in the absence of a tiger in the mountains, the monkeys proclaim themselves king.'
"Yes, Your subordinate understands and will handle it immediately!"
"Your Excellency, should I summon all the generals of the Southern Border Army with real power, as well as those few kings, to come here and offer you a banquet in your honor?"
Shen Lingyun dared not hesitate and immediately asked.
Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a smile, "There is no rush for this matter. Let me rest for two days and then talk about it. First, inform everyone about Shi Buyun's matter."
Ye Ling, who was such a figure, could see right through the little schemes in Shen Lingyun's heart.
If all the generals of the Southern Border Army with real power and those few kings were summoned at this time, they would certainly feel threatened by Ye Ling, the formidable dragon crossing the river.
At that time, these people might join forces to deal with Ye Ling.
Although Ye Ling was by no means afraid, there was also no need to create unnecessary trouble for himself.
"Understood, Your Excellency!"
Shen Lingyun immediately responded, and then took Shi Buyun's body from Chen Dao and strode toward the city outskirts.
