Chapter 138 The Thoughts of the Southern Border King

Shortly after that voice rang out, a guard strode into the room.

"Southern Border King! People from Guiyi Dao Sect outside the city seek an audience!"

The guard spoke in a deep voice.

The Southern Border King nodded slightly and said with a smile, "The Guiyi Dao Sect is a renowned sect in the Southern Border, quickly, invite them in!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The guard immediately acknowledged and then walked out.

After the guard left, a hint of sharpness flashed in the Southern Border King's eyes.

Guiyi Dao Sect was indeed one of the notable sects in the Southern Border, with many strong members within it.

The reason why the Southern Border King was eager to have his subordinates invite the people from Guiyi Dao Sect was that he was not enjoying the banquet.

Even though he was the Southern Border King, it seemed like Ye Ling acted more like the ruler of the Southern Border than he did.

Whether it was the three elders of the countryside or the four great commanders, all were constantly toasting to Ye Ling, yet not a single one toasted to him, the Southern Border King!

Now that people from Guiyi Dao Sect had arrived, it was the perfect opportunity to break the current situation and ease the Southern Border King's predicament.

Ye Ling's lips curled into a slight smile, but he said nothing.

It wasn't long before the guard brought in two people.

"My lord! These are the two from Guiyi Dao Sect!"

The guard spoke with a respectful demeanor.

The Southern Border King nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You may leave us now!" Experience more content on empire

"Yes, my lord!"

The guard immediately rose and departed.

Afterward, the Southern Border King turned to the two from Guiyi Dao Sect and said, "Since you've come all this way from Guiyi Dao Sect, why not sit down and have something to eat?"

"There's no need for a meal, we have come for the Northern Liao King!"

One of them spoke directly, without any intention of giving face to the Southern Border King.

Hearing this, the Southern Border King fell silent, simply sitting quietly on the side, observing the situation unfold before him.

"May I know who is the Northern Liao King?"

The person from Guiyi Dao Sect scanned the crowd and asked.

Both individuals were Great Grandmasters, with considerable strength, and there was a hint of arrogance in their tone when they spoke.

Ye Ling glanced up at the two and then said, "I am the Northern Liao King, what business do you have with me?"

"Hmph! Northern Liao King sure puts on quite the air, I already told you we've come for you, yet you remained seated without speaking, as if you've heard nothing?"

The person from Guiyi Dao Sect let out a cold snort, his words filled with dissatisfaction.

Having given him a look, Ye Ling chuckled and said, "Didn't you see we are in the middle of a meal?"

"If you were a bit more polite, sitting down to join us wouldn't be a problem."

"But with that attitude of yours, leave your message and then you can roll out."

Hearing this, both members from Guiyi Dao Sect showed expressions of anger.

They were not just any Great Grandmasters, but also elders of the Guiyi Dao Sect!

Given the status of Guiyi Dao Sect in the Southern Border, the positions of its elders naturally were not low.

Thus, Ye Ling's dismissive attitude naturally enraged the two of them.

One of them stared at Ye Ling with cold eyes and said in a cold voice, "Northern Liao King, do you remember the matter you once mentioned about visiting our Guiyi Dao Sect to pay respect?"

"Had you not mentioned it, I indeed would have forgotten. What, have you two come here just to have me visit your Guiyi Dao Sect to pay respect?"

Ye Ling said.

The person immediately snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression, and said, "In three days, it will be the martial arts conference of the Southern Border, where all the notable sects of the Southern Border will send their strong representatives to our Guiyi Dao Sect!"

"Is the Northern Liao King not coming to pay his respects? Why not do so on the day of the martial arts conference! This way, the strong sect members of the Southern Border can witness the majesty of the Northern Liao King!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling chuckled lightly and nodded, then he spoke, "That's enough, I understand. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

"Go back and tell your sect leader of Guiyi Dao Sect that I will personally come to pay my respects in three days!"

Seeing Ye Ling's haughty attitude, both members of Guiyi Dao Sect had gloomy expressions on their faces.

"Hmph! If that's the case, then our Guiyi Dao Sect will await the great arrival of the Northern Liao King!"

"Let's go!"

One of them snorted coldly, then said.

The two gave Ye Ling a cold look, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the house.

However, the Southern Border King stood up at this moment, smiling as he said, "After all, Guiyi Dao Sect is a prestigious and influential sect in the Southern Border. It's only right that I, the king, see them off!"

Without regard for Ye Ling's reaction, the Southern Border King left immediately after speaking.

Watching the Southern Border King's retreating figure, Chen Dao snorted coldly with an unfriendly expression and said, "This man seems to have forgotten who helped him regain his peak and take back control of the Southern Border, hasn't he?"

"Hehe, everyone has their own aspirations, why force them?"

Ye Ling glanced at Chen Dao and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of both the three elders of the rural area and the four commanders became extremely ugly.

The Southern Border King's move was nothing more than an attempt to win over Guiyi Dao Sect while he held great power!

Such an action clearly intended to marginalize the Northern Liao King.

This behavior was far from what a gentleman, let alone a king, should exhibit.

"My lord! We four once promised to serve under your command. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Wang Tiezhu said in a deep voice.

Ye Ling looked at Wang Tiezhu and the others, smiling as he said, "What? Now that the Southern Border King's power has grown, you want to leave the Southern Border Army?"

Facing Ye Ling's gaze, Wang Tiezhu and his men all showed a resolute expression.

After a moment of silence, Wang Tiezhu then said, "My lord! After seeing eagles soar in the sky, how could we be content with remaining on the ground?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling let out a burst of laughter.

"Good! Since you four have such ambition, I will take you to experience the views from the heavens!"

"I will personally discuss your matters with the Southern Border King!"

Ye Ling said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiezhu and his men all sighed in relief.

The Southern Border King's behavior had indeed left the four feeling contemptuous.

Compared to the Southern Border King, Ye Ling, the Northern Liao King, was undoubtedly the enlightened ruler they should follow.

The three elders of the rural area stood by with complex expressions, watching as Ye Ling recruited the four commanders of the Southern Border Army, while they didn't know what to say.

Even in their hearts, they considered following Ye Ling, for his strength was so much greater, and as a person, he was far superior to the Southern Border King.

Following Ye Ling would undoubtedly offer them a brighter future than following the Southern Border King.

"My lord, we three old men are advanced in years and can no longer share your worries,"

"Moreover, before the Old Southern Border King passed away, he entrusted the Southern Border to us. We hope you can understand that we three old men cannot follow you..."

The eldest elder sighed softly and spoke.

Ye Ling nodded with a smile, looking at the three elders and said, "It doesn't matter, the heart's direction is always pure land."

"Although the Southern Border King may not achieve much, defending this small territory of the Southern Border shouldn't be a problem for him."
