Chapter 345 You pick one, the rest are mine.
Facing the aggressive gazes of envoys and many experts from the Three Southern Countries, Ye Feng remained motionless in his chair without even a change in his expression. As the King of the Northern Border, he had never furrowed his brow even when facing an enemy army of a million strong soldiers, let alone now.
"An explanation?" Ye Feng sneered coldly and hummed softly, "People of Tianluo Kingdom, you dare to intrude into my Northern Cloud Residence. Just for that, you could be killed without mercy. May I ask, esteemed envoy, is this explanation sufficient for you?"
This was the assertive dominance of Northern King Ye Feng. Among the Kings of the Four Realms, only he could possess such boldness!
Seeing this, many Domain Lords and leaders from the Southern Territory, even those who had no fondness for the Northern King, couldn't help but admire his boldness. It was no wonder the Northern King had the highest acclaim among the Kings of the Four Realms, and there were even hints of him joining the Utility Pavilion.
The face of the Tianluo Kingdom's envoy changed repeatedly, and he clenched his teeth and said, "Your words are too disdainful, do you not consider the consequences at all? If you provoke a war between the two nations, can you afford the consequences?"
In the face of threats, not only did Ye Feng not show any signs of weakness, he burst out laughing instead.
The Tianluo Kingdom's envoy clenched his teeth and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Ye Feng snorted coldly, "I'm laughing at where you're getting your confidence from. A mere Tianluo Kingdom dares to talk of waging war with our great Xuanyuan Nation. Let me tell you, if this were the Northern Border, my Northern Border soldiers would already have their blades pointing towards Tianluo Kingdom. Do you believe that?"
With that statement, the envoy's face changed yet again. He could certainly feel that the other party wasn't bluffing. Indeed, it was to be expected, as even when facing the powerful Snow Country of the north, this Northern King had not shown any concern, let alone for his small Tianluo Kingdom.
Now, the envoy of Tianluo Kingdom didn't know what to say. He had originally hoped to take this opportunity to demand an explanation, but not only had he failed to get one, he had been rebuffed instead. There was nothing he could do—the King of the Northern Border of the Xuanyuan Nation was too domineering and assertive.
Zhang Wenyuan, observing this, knew he was the Southern King and the host here. He couldn't let Ye Feng steal all the limelight; otherwise, his own authority as the New Southern King might be greatly diminished, and in the future, it was very possible that everyone would only know of the Northern King and not the King of the Southern Territory.
Immediately, Zhang Wenyuan slowly rose from the main seat, stepped forward to face the Tianluo Kingdom's envoy, and said word by word, "If you are here to sincerely congratulate me, I will welcome you. But if you're here to stir up trouble, let me warn you in advance—don't blame me for being rude!"
Compared with the Northern King, although the New Southern King had not shown such mountain-like domineering presence, Zhang Wenyuan's performance was quite commendable, especially since he had only just taken office today.
And the envoy from Tianluo Kingdom, who had already been left speechless by Ye Feng, now faced adding the New Southern King Zhang Wenyuan to the mix. It was foreseeable that if the Northern and Southern Kings joined forces to march their troops, his tiny Tianluo Kingdom would inevitably be doomed.
However, just at this moment, the envoy from the Brahma Kingdom, a fat man clad in a red kasaya, suddenly stood up and said coldly, "In that case, our Brahma Kingdom also wishes to demand an explanation from your nation. Three months ago, one of your Southern Territory leaders slaughtered fifteen of our Brahma Kingdom's people with extremely cruel methods.
New Southern King, how do you intend to account for this to our Brahma Kingdom?"
"Account for?" Zhang Wenyuan laughed, his expression suddenly turning grave as he retorted sharply, "I've always only answered to the Tianyong Pavilion of Xuanyuan Nation. Who are you to demand an explanation from me?"
Zhang Wenyuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and even his expression revealed a hint of astonishment. He couldn't believe that Ye Feng could really contend with two of them by himself, knowing that these two individuals were both at the level of a half-step Divine Ability Realm Great Power.
However, at this moment, Ye Feng already couldn't be bothered with Zhang Wenyuan's reaction. He took steps forward, approaching the people from the Three Southern Countries, and one word at a time, said, "A few mere envoys dare to run wild in my Xuanyuan Nation. You truly have some nerve."
Seeing this, Zhang Wenyuan knew there was no better solution, so he also stepped forward, shoulder to shoulder with Northern King Ye Feng, and likewise uttered coldly, word by word, "Today is the day of my inauguration, and you come under the pretext of congratulations to provoke us, showing no respect for me or the Northern King, and even openly challenging the might of Xuanyuan Nation!"
"Seeing that today is a day of great joy, it is not suitable for me to create a slaughter. Retire immediately, and I will forgive your disrespect. Otherwise, it will be death without mercy for all!"
"Death without mercy, your Excellency really has an arrogant tone," that great figure from the Ancient Yue Kingdom directly stepped forward.
The great figure from the Brahma Kingdom sneered, "It is said that the Xuanyuan Nation is known for its distinguished Northern and Southern Kings. The two of you right now are among the finest of Xuanyuan's younger generation, and even more so, expected to become lords of the Utility Pavilion. Should you die here today, it would surely be a tremendous loss for Xuanyuan Nation, wouldn't it?"
More than just a tremendous loss, such a loss could even likely affect the peace and tranquility of the whole world.
The great figure from Tianluo Kingdom also moved swiftly, and shouted through clenched teeth, "Enough talk! Today, come what may, these two must be slain. By doing so, Xuanyuan Nation will be afraid to make any reckless moves for the next fifty years!"
So this was the true intention of the Three Southern Countries, they had realized that the Northern and Southern Kings were the two most acclaimed figures among Xuanyuan Nation's youth, so they seized this opportunity to eradicate them directly.
No wonder they dispatched three half-step God-Connecting Realm Great Powers. After all, beings of such level are essentially the pinnacle of a nation's power. It looks like the Three Southern Countries had been eyeing today's situation and chose to make their move.
"Kill!" All of a sudden, a cry for killing echoed throughout the Southern Territory Base Camp, and in an instant, the camp filled with murderous intent, and everyone was on the move.
Ye Feng was the first to act, channeling the Qi Force from the over two hundred acupoints in his body, with majestic force surging out like a deluge and instantly pouncing towards the closest figure from the Brahma Kingdom.
Following him was Zhang Wenyuan, whose aura skyrocketed in an instant, scaling from the Peak of Martial King Realm right up to the Peak of Spirit Division Realm, bypassing the levels of the Enlightenment Realm and God Gathering Realm, which lie before the Divine Path Realm.
After all, he cultivated the Xuanyuan Nation's rather formidable and mysterious Method of Fivefold Reincarnation. Zhang Wenyuan normally kept a low profile, but his true strength was essentially on par with some of the latter-ranking Sect Leaders from the Utility Pavilion. That was also why his master and even the elder Tang Bai were so optimistic about him.
In an instant, the entire Base Camp was in turmoil, the strong men from the Three Southern Countries, aside from these three Great Powers, were mostly of the Divine Path Realm Level, with the least powerful being at the Peak of Martial King Realm.
The Southern Origin Territory on their side had a hard time competing, but fortunately, both Ye Feng and Zhang Wenyuan brought their own trusted experts. Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and Leng Wuming also rushed forward at the first opportunity.
Apart from that, Zhang Wenyuan's side also had three Divine Path Realm Level warriors and five Peak Martial King experts joining the fray.
"How dare you, a mere Peak of the Martial King Realm, gesticulate in front of this Dharma King! You die!" The great figure from Brahma Kingdom coldly shouted, his presence bursting forth, and then his hand shot out like a claw, aiming straight for Ye Feng's throat.
