Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 84 The Peril of the Southern Frontier

Looking at Commander Wang in such a pitiable state, Ye Ling's eyes were full of contempt.

Ye Jiu reached out and grabbed the token that symbolized the identity of the Northern Liao King from the table, and it fell into his hands.

Given Ye Ling's strength, he had long since no need to rely on this token to prove his identity, so the token had always been kept by Ye Jiu.

"I'll ask you one more time, where exactly is the Southern Border King now?"

Ye Ling glanced at Commander Wang and asked indifferently.

Although his tone was no different from before, to Commander Wang, it sounded like the decree of a deity, leaving no room for defiance.

Without any hesitation, Commander Wang immediately replied, "My lord, the Southern Border King declared three years ago that he would enter closed-door cultivation to break through to the realm of War King, and he has not appeared since!"

"As for the current situation of the Southern Border King, this subordinate does not know..."

"My lord! It's not that this subordinate intends to conceal anything; it's just that I truly do not know!"

As if fearing that Ye Ling would not believe him, Commander Wang added another sentence to explain himself.

Ye Ling gave him a look, merely a simple glance, yet it sent Commander Wang's mind reeling!

"When the Southern Border King said he would enter seclusion three years ago, what was his realm?"

Ye Ling asked again.

After a moment of recollection, Commander Wang said, "The peak of Great Grandmaster!"

"At that time, the Southern Border King had led an expedition into the Miaojiang region, seeming to have obtained a hint about the whereabouts of the Witch Gate, and thus he took the Southern Border Army into the depths of the Great Hundred Mountains!"

"Not long after the Southern Border King returned from the Great Hundred Mountains, he hastily announced his intention to enter into closed-door cultivation to break through to the War King realm, and then there was no news from him!"

Knowing that the person before him was the formidable Northern Liao King, Commander Wang dared not hold back any information, revealing all that he knew.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling nodded slightly.

The fact that the Southern Border King had been to the Great Hundred Mountains was indeed a useful piece of information.

Soon after coming back from the Great Hundred Mountains, the Southern Border King hurriedly announced his closed-door cultivation, suggesting that something unfavorable might have happened during his encounter with the Witch Gate.

Since the Southern Border King announced his seclusion, there had been no news for three years, and the four great legions of the Southern Border Army began to fight independently, even engaging in combat with each other.

Although this was a matter internal to the Southern Border Army and didn't concern Ye Ling much.

But as Ye Ling and the Southern Border King were kings of their respective war zones, it was natural for them to look out for each other.

"Get up."

"Everyone, sit down and eat together!"

Ye Ling spoke.

Only then did Commander Wang stop his actions and carefully got up to sit back in his spot, but he did not dare to touch his chopsticks!

However, Ye Jiu and the others did not have so many concerns. Back when they were in Northern Liao, they had shared simple meals with Ye Ling!

Now that Ye Ling had spoken, what was there for them to hold back!

"My lord, if I may be so bold to ask, what brings you to Jiangnan so suddenly..."

"Insolence! The lord is free to travel anywhere in the world. Is it that he must report to you when coming to Jiangnan!"

Hearing Commander Wang's words, Ye Jiu's expression changed, and he rebuked him in a cold voice.

Ye Ling looked at him and said with a smile, "Don't be so hot-tempered, just enjoy your meal."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu and the others looked away and continued to eat with gusto.

"Why do you think I've come to Jiangnan?" Ye Ling asked.

Commander Wang promptly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously, "This humble one does not know..."

"Speak if you're told to, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Ye Ling said with a light chuckle, shaking his head.

Commander Wang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Since my lord wishes to hear, then this lowly one will take the liberty to speak..."

"My lord's sudden arrival in Jiangnan is probably on account of the Southern Border King, whose life and death is currently unknown, and all of Southern Border is in chaos."

"Internally, the four great army factions are at war with each other, externally the sorcerers from Miao Border stir up trouble, and the pirates from Wo Country also have their eyes on Southern Border. I guess my lord's arrival in Southern Border is to take charge of the situation..."

After speaking, Commander Wang cautiously looked at Ye Ling, fearing he might have said something wrong.

"You are indeed clever. Go back and make preparations. I will soon be taking up residence in the Southern Border,"

"For now, do not spread the word. When the time is ripe, I will inform you,"

"After all, Southern Border is the fruit of several generations' effort; it cannot be ruined by these fiends and demons..."

Ye Ling said with a smile.
