Chapter 152 The Northern Border King, His Momentum Is Too Overwhelming!
Lio Nanba of the Southern Region suddenly turned his head and glared at Ye Feng, coldly spitting out each word, "And who are you supposed to be? This is the Main Hall of the Base Camp of the Southern Territory. Since when does a crippled piece of trash like you have the right to speak here?"
Xia Lengchan, Li Jingang, Zhuge Yu, and several other Great Commanders inhaled sharply upon hearing this. The look in their eyes towards the Lord of Tiannan Region no longer held fear, but pity and sympathy.
It could almost be certain that the fate awaiting the Lord of Tiannan Region would be exceedingly grim!
Ye Feng laughed and said, "It seems you do not recognize me. Well then, let me tell you, I am the Northern Border King, Ye Feng!"
To everyone's surprise, Lio Nanba looked up and burst into roaring laughter upon hearing this, his laughter causing everyone in the great hall to feel their eardrums tremble. After a good while, he let out a cold snort and said, "Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. Let's not even discuss whether you are the Northern Border King; even if you were, what of it?"
"This is the Main Hall of the Base Camp of the Southern Territory, not your Northern Border. When did our Southern Territory Main Hall fall under the command of you Northern Territory people?"
Ye Feng stretched out his hand and pointed towards the twin thrones above, saying, "Do you see what is on those seats?"
"What is that?" Lio Nanba turned his head to look and saw something resembling a Token on the thrones, though he did not understand it.
"That, is my King's Order," said Ye Feng.
"Your King's Order, so what?" Lio Nanba coldly huffed.
"So what?" Ye Feng laughed and shook his head with a sigh, "Open the Summoning Orders in your hands and see if they bear my Royal Seal."
One of the Lords thereupon decisively took out the Summoning Order he had received over ten days ago, opened it, and after glancing at it, exclaimed, "I hadn't paid attention before, but sure enough, this Summoning Order bears the seal of the Northern King!"
Lio Nanba still sneered, "Even if this Summoning Order bears the seal of the Northern King, what of it?"
He remained utterly fearless, for this place was the Southern Territory, after all; the Southern King himself dared not lay a hand on him, let alone a foreign ruler from beyond their borders.
Ye Feng declared, "If it bears my Royal Seal, it means this Summoning Order was jointly issued by both myself and the Southern King. That means, the matter of military and state discussed here is presided over by both the Southern King and myself. So you tell me, do my subordinates have the right to sit in counsel in this hall?"
"Advance again and you die!" Sima Zhantian's aura of murderous intent surged, and his opponent didn't dare to even fart, let alone anything else, quickly turning tail to leave.
Behind them, Lord of Tiannan Region Lio Nanba, upon seeing this, was already scared pale and trembling all over. Seeing that things weren't going his way, he said nothing and attempted to flee backwards.
Grand Commander Lan Youzhong blocked him directly and said, "Lord of Tiannan Region, the military meeting isn't over yet. Where do you think you're going?"
In total panic, Lio Nanba blurted out, "Grand Commander Lan, we've had some rapport in the past. Are you not only going to stand by and watch me die but also block my path?"
Grand Commander Lan, with an expression of impartiality, said, "In the face of martial affairs, personal relations cannot be accounted for!"
Xiao Chuanqi moved in a flash, kicking him to the ground and restraining him.
"Ye Feng, I am the Lord of the Tiannan Region, guarding the Southern Border's South Gate. Do you really dare to touch me? If the region loses my guardianship, the Ancient Yue Kingdom will surely seize the opportunity to stir trouble. Then, no one will be able to stop their invasion!" Lio Nanba bitingly roared.
Hearing this, Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. Even at this point, he was trying to use his contributions as leverage. He should know that the thing the Northern Border King disliked the most was exactly this. If at this moment the opponent had obediently knelt down and admitted his error, perhaps the Northern Border King might have shown leniency, but he hadn't!
"Take action!" Ye Feng gave a faint, cold snort.
"No... Southern King, won't you do something about this? And the other domain lords, please plead for me!"
Lio Nanba howled, but quickly he despaired, realizing that he had been foolish, as foolish as a pig.
The situation at hand suggested that the Southern King aimed for a strong comeback, intent on reconsolidating his authority. The Northern King was evidently a major force he had invited. Now was the moment for the Southern King to establish his power, and the last resort would be to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, creating a warning for all.
Yet, at this crucial time, he had stood out, becoming that sacrificial chicken. As for the other domain lords present, they naturally became the monkeys. But now, these monkeys were coldly watching, every one of them looking out for their own safety, not one stepping forward to intercede.
Xiao Chuanqi's wrist flicked twice, and he directly severed the other's Achilles tendons. Lio Nanba was thoroughly crippled!
"Stop the bleeding for him and have him sit aside. The military meeting is not over, and he's not allowed to leave!" Ye Feng ordered and then turned to face the domain lords, saying gravely, "Now, let the military meeting commence!"
Throughout the period, these five domain lords didn't dare to breathe loudly. The reason was simple: the aura of the Northern Border King was too overwhelming, pressing upon them so heavily they could hardly catch their breath.
