Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 139 Departure

"Thank you for your understanding, Northern Liao King!"

The elder said in a deep voice.

If the three of them were younger by twenty or thirty years, they would have definitely left the Southern Border without a second thought and followed Ye Ling.

But now, all three of them were practically one foot in the coffin, and with the Old Southern Border King's immense kindness towards them, it was naturally impossible for them to just up and leave.

"Come, come, drink!"

"Don't think about those unhappy things!"

Seeing that the mood among the crowd was a bit off, Ye Ling also picked up his cup and spoke.

He hadn't come to the Southern Border to vie for power and profits with the Southern Border King.

With the petty mannerisms of the Southern Border King, Ye Ling simply didn't think much of him.

Even though Ye Ling didn't plan to stay in the Southern Border, several of the peak military forces in the Southern Border army intended to leave with him.

If Ye Ling were really to stay, he feared that by tomorrow morning, he would become the new Southern Border King.

After the Southern Border King left, he hadn't returned, and it was unknown whether he was planning to send those two from the Guiyi Dao Sect directly back to their sect.

Regardless of the absence of the Southern Border King, everyone still drank with great enjoyment.

A quiet night passed, and the next morning dawned.

Ye Ling watched the eastern horizon light up with a tinge of dawn, a mysterious expression flashing through his eyes.

"The imperial capital is always complex, I wonder if there are any warriors above the rank of War King within it…"

A murmur escaped from Ye Ling's mouth.

In the imperial capital, there was a Sky Support King who had been stationed at the heart of the Dragon Country since the last century, guarding the capital.

Rumors from the last century said that this Sky Support King was a peak War King.

Now half a century later, the Sky Support King had not made a move again, and no one knew to what extent his power had reached.

Ye Ling had a faint premonition that this Sky Support King, whom he had rarely seen, might just like him, have stepped into the Imperial Realm!

Even if the Sky Support King hadn't stepped into the Imperial Realm, he was probably not far from this realm.

"Enough, why think so much? Even if he is at the same level as I am, I fear him not," Ye Ling said with a light laugh after a moment.

As the sun hung in the sky, Su Rou also woke up.

After Ye Ling and Su Rou had quickly eaten breakfast, they left the villa.

Ye Jiu and three others, and Wang Tiezhu with four others, were all waiting outside the villa.

"My lord!"

Upon seeing Ye Ling, everyone shouted in unison.

Ye Ling nodded slightly and said, "This trip to the Guiyi Dao Sect will also take two to three days. It's about time to set off now."

"Yes, my lord!"

"I have already prepared carriages outside the city, please my lord, move on," Wang Tiezhu said in a deep voice.

Then, everyone walked out of the Southern Border military headquarters.

Just as they were about to reach the carriages, a voice suddenly came from behind: "The Southern Border King arrives!"

Ye Ling and the others paused in their steps and immediately turned to look.

They saw the Southern Border King approaching them, flanked by several guards.

"Is the Northern Liao King preparing to go to the Guiyi Dao Sect?"

The Southern Border King said with a smile.

Ye Ling nodded slightly and spoke, "Isn't the Southern Border King ready to set off yet?"

"Oh, this king still has some arrangements to make. Once they're settled, I will set off immediately."

The Southern Border King nodded slightly, then continued, "I'm afraid I won't be able to travel with the Northern Liao King to the Guiyi Dao Sect. I hope the Northern Liao King will forgive me!"

He knew that Ye Ling's visit to the Guiyi Dao Sect was to pay homage and challenge them, and by then, he would inevitably be at odds with the sect.

Since the Southern Border King was also interested in courting the Guiyi Dao Sect, it was natural that he couldn't accompany Ye Ling there.

Otherwise, influenced by Ye Ling's homage, how could the Southern Border King still court the people of the Guiyi Dao Sect?

Ye Ling nodded indifferently, not caring about whatever schemes the Southern Border King had.

Then Ye Ling turned to Wang Tiezhu and the other three, smiling as he said, "Southern Border King, I have an embarrassing request, and I hope you can grant it."

"Hmm? Please speak, Northern Liao King!"

The Southern Border King raised his eyebrows, sensing a hint of foreboding.

Ye Ling then spoke, "Wang Tiezhu and the others wish to follow me and would like to return to Northern Liao with me. I must trouble the Southern Border King to agree to this."

Upon hearing this, the Southern Border King's face immediately darkened.

Wang Tiezhu and the others were leaders of the four main divisions of the Southern Border army. Their departure would mean leaving these divisions without leadership.

However, now the Southern Border King held significant power, and even the three elders of the fields cooperated tremendously with him. So, he wasn't too worried about the divisions being leaderless.

After all, he could appoint the three field elders as leaders after Wang Tiezhu and the others left, since the elders were even stronger.

After a moment of silence, the Southern Border King said solemnly, "Very well! There's a saying that everyone has their own aspirations. I'm not unkind."

"If Leader Wang and the others wish to follow the Northern Liao King, I naturally support it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling smiled and nodded.

Wang Tiezhu and the other three immediately knelt on one knee before the Southern Border King, their faces somewhat ashamed as they said, "Thank you, sir, for your understanding!"

"Rise. From now on, you will belong to the Northern Liao King, so there's no need to kneel before me anymore."

The Southern Border King gestured with his hand, looking somewhat pained but still maintaining a composed appearance.

"With that, we shall take our leave first."

Ye Ling spoke. Explore more at empire

The Southern Border King nodded slightly and said solemnly, "This king wishes the Northern Liao King a smooth journey!"

Ye Ling waved his hand and got into the vehicle with his companions.

As the three jeeps drove off into the distance, the Southern Border King's expression finally turned sour.

But he dared not break completely with Ye Ling over Wang Tiezhu and the others, as he had firsthand knowledge of Ye Ling's strength. If he were to openly conflict with Ye Ling, he doubted he could withstand even a single slap from him.

Only when the three jeeps had disappeared from view did the Southern Border King mutter softly, "If they're gone, they're gone. Once I consolidate the vari*****rtial sects of the Southern Border, there will be plenty of stronger individuals willing to serve me."

"Let's go! Back to camp! We'll set off in two hours!"

The Southern Border King turned and walked towards the city.

He didn't really have any matters to arrange; his words were merely to avoid traveling with Ye Ling.

Ye Ling and his companions, leaving the Southern Border army's headquarters, were driven by Wang Tiezhu and the others. As leaders of the Southern Border army, they naturally knew the location of the Guiyi Dao Sect's gate.

The jeeps roared continuously as they headed eastward through the Southern Border.

From the Southern Border army headquarters to the Guiyi Dao Sect, it would take two to three days' drive to arrive.

Su Rou sat next to Ye Ling, her gaze constantly out the window. The steep landscape and the visage of the Southern Border folk by the roadside were all hugely fascinating to her.

Su Rou occasionally pulled Ye Ling into discussions about the landscape and the crowds outside the window.
