Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Hearing the noises outside the council hall, Chen Dao and King Heng He who were about to make their move, also immediately ceased.

In the council hall, everyone's gaze naturally turned towards the entrance of the hall.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Southern Border King slowly walked into the hall.

Half a month had passed, and the pale sickness that had once marred the face of the Southern Border King had completely vanished.

Compared to half a month ago, when he exuded an air of decay, the Southern Border King now seemed to have regained his confidence; his entire demeanor was filled with a commanding presence.

After the Southern Border King entered the council hall, another figure rapidly followed him into the hall.

It was Ye Ling!

As soon as Ye Ling appeared, the five counterfeit kings immediately shifted their gaze from the Southern Border King to him.

It was known that Ye Ling was the man who defeated Miyamoto Musashi, a formidable warrior king!

Naturally, the five counterfeit kings were more interested in Ye Ling than the Southern Border King.

"We have seen the Southern Border King!"

The five counterfeit kings spoke in unison, but their words were laced with perfunctory indifference.

After speaking, their attention turned back to Ye Ling.

Compared to the Southern Border King, they were more curious about Ye Ling.

Being stared at by the five men in such a manner, Ye Ling's expression did not change at all, and he took a seat by himself in an empty spot.

Chen Dao and He Feng also immediately followed, standing beside Ye Ling like two bodyguards.

The Southern Border King also nodded at the five counterfeit kings, then majestically took his seat at the head of the table.

"I heard noises outside the council hall just now, has something happened?"

After sitting down, the Southern Border King scanned the five counterfeit kings and asked.

King Heng He snorted coldly, his expression unpleasant as he said, "Southern Border King, the fact that we're here at all is entirely out of respect for you!"

"But what about you? You had us wait here for a full hour, do you still think you control the Southern Border as you please?"

It wasn't just King Heng He; the Hidden Qi King also immediately spoke up, "Southern Border King, what you did was indeed underhanded."

"Since you invited us, why did you leave us hanging here for an hour?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Does the Southern Border King not take us seriously at all?"

The other three counterfeit kings did not say much, but their gaze towards the Southern Border King was also filled with malice.

The words from King Heng He and the Hidden Qi King were harsh and carried an accusatory tone!

From their attitude, it wasn't hard to see just how diminished the influence of the Southern Border King in the Southern Border had really become.

A few counterfeit kings daring to question the Southern Border King like this in the military headquarters of the Southern Border!

Chen Dao and He Feng standing behind Ye Ling also displayed expressions of oddity.

Such an occurrence would definitely not be possible in the Northern Liang!

In the Northern Liang, if anyone dared to claim kingship and disrespect the authority of Ye Ling recklessly, they likely wouldn't see the sun rise from the east the next day.

Not to mention having the opportunity to sit within the military headquarter of the Northern Liang, so boldly disrespecting the authority of a king.

"Now it is I who am asking you, what was the quarrel about just now!"

"And yet, you turn around and dare to question me!"

"Remember this, everyone who stands on this land beneath your feet is in the Southern Border! Here, I am the king of the Southern Border!"

the Southern Border King said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Heng He and the others slightly changed.

Even before the Southern Border King had announced his seclusion, he had never seemed this assertive.

Could it be that something had awakened in him during his three-year disappearance?

Pushing aside the strange thoughts in his mind, the Hidden Qi King said with a smile, "Southern Border King, you must be misunderstanding us!"

"We were merely asking your commanders why you, Southern Border King, had not yet shown yourself."

"But these two, instead, questioned us right as they came in and were insolent towards us, prompting Heng He to lose his temper and want to teach them a lesson!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Moto King also sneered and said, "Southern Border King, these two showed such contempt towards us, don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

Hearing this, the Southern Border King's gaze turned towards Ye Ling.

Considering it concerned Chen Dao and He Feng, the Southern Border King naturally wanted to see what Ye Ling thought.

Ye Ling made no indication. He wanted to see if the Southern Border King, having regained the pinnacle strength of a Great Grandmaster, would still be the same as before!

If the Southern Border King hadn't changed at all compared to the past, that would be very disappointing to Ye Ling.

Seeing that Ye Ling made no indication, the Southern Border King immediately understood Ye Ling's intentions.

The Southern Border King's expression darkened, and he cast a gloomy look at Heng He and the others.

Then he said in a deep voice, "I am the Southern Border King. How I handle matters is my prerogative. Do I really need you to point fingers and make decisions for me?"

"I am the king of this Southern Border, and you are my subjects!"

"If I am not present, you just need to wait!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Heng He and the other four drastically changed.

Clearly, the assertive demeanor of the Southern Border King had exceeded their expectations.

The Southern Border King, who was usually amiable and even somewhat weak, had never shown such assertiveness.

Not to mention that after the disappearance of the Southern Border King, various pretenders had risen in rebellion throughout the Southern Border. Even when there had been no pretenders, the Southern Border King had always been very accommodating and even deferential when meeting the Great Grandmasters of the Southern Border.

The expression on Heng He's face changed, a clear anger visible in his eyes.

But before he could speak, the Southern Border King drew his sword from his waist and plunged it into the ground in front of him.

The blade of the Southern Border King was extremely sharp, and as soon as it touched the ground, it plunged deep into it.

"I ask you, if you dare to question my lateness in this council hall today, will you dare to gather men to besiege me tomorrow!"

"Was I too kind to you before, making you think I was a spineless persimmon to be squashed as you wish?"

"If you have any complaints, just say them and see if I won't cut you down!"

The Southern Border King's gloomy gaze swept over the five men, his tone fierce as he spoke.

Seeing the Southern Border King's demeanor, Ye Ling nodded in satisfaction.

This was the demeanor a king should have!

If these five pretenders dared to bully him to his doorstep and the Southern Border King still remained hidden, Ye Ling would regret the considerable cost he had paid to restore the Southern Border King's strength!

Fortunately, the Southern Border King indeed behaved like a sovereign, showing the demeanor a king should have in front of Heng He and the others.

Heng He and the others watched the Southern Border King with uncertain eyes, momentarily unsure of his stance or what to say.
