Chapter 336 Having You is Enough
Zhang Wenyuan stood up at this time because he was about to assume the position of the new King of the Southern Territory. Although the official appointment had not yet been announced, the news had essentially spread among the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and it was a done deal.
The Tianluo Kingdom is located at the southwest end of the Xuanyuan Nation and is, in a sense, within the jurisdiction of the King of the Southern Territory. Therefore, Zhang Wenyuan's interjection at this time was undoubtedly a declaration of his stance.
However, this was the Northern Cloud Residence, the home of the Northern Border King. Given Ye Feng's temperament, it was natural that he would not allow others to dictate in his own home, not even the King of the Southern Territory.
So, as soon as Zhang Wenyuan stood up, his command had already been issued; Xiao Chuanqi, Leng Wuming, and Sima Zhantian, who had been waiting, immediately pounced.
Although at this moment, the three chief legion commanders under Ye Feng were still at the peak of Martial King Realm, their combat power should not be underestimated by the standards of an ordinary Martial King.
The spacious hall suddenly shimmered with golden light as a vast flow of Sword Qi, resembling a mighty river, instantly filled the entire hall. This was Xiao Chuanqi's doing; he was inherently adept at the way of the sword, and his constitution was particularly unique, being a very powerful innate Sword Body.
Although this innate Sword Body had not yet truly reached the Divine Path Realm to consolidate its own Divine Path Object, it was nonetheless capable of contending with Divine Path Realm powerhouses.
Suddenly, with a soft 'pfft,' the head of a Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouse closest to him rolled off, and his body thunderously fell to the ground. The speed of the Sword Qi was so fast that the opponent did not even have a chance to deploy his Divine Path Object.
At the same time, a flash of green blade light appeared in the hall!
This blade light, unlike the previously ethereal Sword Qi, was thick and heavy, akin to a mountain, teeming with killing intent that inspired dread. Almost simultaneously, as the head of the first Divine Path Realm powerhouse rolled off, another Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm warrior was cleaved into two halves by a single slash.
At this point, Leng Wuming had also swept into the center of the hall, wielding a Vajra Pestle. The sound of the wind howled within the hall as the Vajra Pestle cast shadows, enveloping his opponent.
Suddenly a heavy blow struck down, and the Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouse was instantly reduced to mincemeat.
In just a brief confrontation, three Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouses were killed, and the entire hall plunged into a deathly silence. Not only were the remaining three Tianluo Kingdom Divine Path Realm powerhouses petrified, but the high-ranking officials of the imperial capital were also deeply shocked.
Even the heads of the Utility Pavilion, including Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming, were staring wide-eyed, their faces showing signs of astonishment.
All along, people in the imperial capital only knew of the Northern Border King Ye Feng's strength and dominance, but they knew very little about his generals. After all, these officials considered the Northern King's attendants as merely Martial King Realm powerhouses, hardly significant.
But now they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong. From their performance just now, it was clear that although the three were still at the peak of Martial King Realm, the combat power they displayed was enough to dominate the first layer of Divine Path Realm, Enlightenment Realm, and even match the second layer, the God Gathering Realm.
What they didn't know was that the truly formidable one under Ye Feng's command wasn't any of those three, but Gai Jiuyou, the former Chief Legion Commander, who also held immense prestige in the Northern Border.
Ye Feng didn't respond to that question, but instead countered, "Judging from the tone of your voice, it seems that you're still harboring some resentment for my stopping you from acting against those three from Tianluo Kingdom earlier?"
Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You know me, I'm not someone who is so petty."
Ye Feng also smiled and said, "You should also know that I'm not someone who is so petty."
After their exchange, both looked at each other and shared a knowing smile. Even though neither had explicitly stated their thoughts, as clever as they were, both had already understood what the other was trying to convey.
Just as they had said, neither were petty people, and with no real life-or-death grudges, why cling to the past? A true king's vision should not be restricted by what's in front of them but should encompass the entire world!
"You specifically stayed behind, and I'm assuming it wasn't just to discuss this issue with me?" Ye Feng then asked. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Of course not." Zhang Wenyuan shook his head, then said, "The appointment letter will arrive tomorrow, and I will head to the Southern Territory. I know you have been to the Southern Territory before and have some acquaintances with the former Southern King Dugu Ming."
"What would you like me to do?" Ye Feng asked.
Zhang Wenyuan's expression suddenly turned serious. "You know what Dugu Ming is like. Do you think he can outmaneuver me?"
Ye Feng, with a cold voice, replied, "No."
Zhang Wenyuan suddenly laughed, a confident laughter.
Ye Feng then added, "Just as you said, I understand Dugu Ming. I know he's currently disinterested in power. Rest assured, he will step down peacefully."
Zhang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you in advance, in case he's not willing to give in, I hope you can talk to him. If he still refuses to let go, then I..."
"Don't worry, if he doesn't want to step down, I'll talk to him. Of course, my words may not be effective, but when the time comes, you can just handle it as official business," Ye Feng said.
"Good, with your word, I feel reassured," Zhang Wenyuan responded, then suddenly added, "By the way, there's still some time before the World Martial Arts Tournament begins. Are you interested in a trip to the Southern Territory with me?"
Ye Feng, somewhat surprised, asked, "You're not planning to attend the World Martial Arts Tournament?"
Zhang Wenyuan chuckled. "Not going. With you there, that's enough!"
