Chapter 149 The Impending Storm Is About to Hit the Tower
Ye Feng wasn't moving fast; after all, he was sitting in a chair, taking advantage of the dark night to slowly return to his residence.
Hong Qingyan was slowly pushing from behind, filled with questions in her heart. She had clearly seen Ye Feng fly into the air. How had he done that?
The incident at the training ground had unfolded too swiftly. Hong Qingyan only saw a blur before Ye Feng was sitting back in his chair, so she couldn't make out what had actually happened.
Hong Qingyan really wanted to ask Ye Feng whether his legs were truly broken.
But she restrained herself multiple times. Since Ye Feng chose to act this way, he must have his reasons.
"Lord Northern King, Lord Northern King, please wait!" Suddenly, the Four Great Protectors hurriedly caught up from behind.
"Why have they come!" Sima Zhan Tian's gaze sharpened, ready to make a move.
Ye Feng didn't turn around but waved his hand and said, "Show no disrespect!"
Sima Zhan Tian managed to hold back.
Ye Feng stopped in his spot, and the four protectors ran directly toward him, then with a thud, all four knelt before Ye Feng.
"Lord Northern King above, we were blind and offended the Northern King earlier. We plead for your magnanimity to forgive our disrespect," the four said as they clasped their hands together.
Right after, the Great Protector added, "I have committed a grave sin and feel terribly remorseful. I originally wanted to die to thank the Southern Territory, but considering the current instability in the Southern Territory, my presence is somewhat needed to maintain control, hence I cannot die yet, otherwise..."
At this point, Ye Feng laughed and teased, "Does the Great Protector think that with me, the Northern King here, the Southern Territory could still fall into chaos?"
The Great Protector was startled, looking up at Ye Feng without being able to say a word.
Watching the old man's deflated demeanor, Ye Feng shook his head slightly, sighing, "All right, I was joking. I wouldn't go as far as taking your old lives."
Hearing this, the four protectors breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Feng continued, "Of course, I'm sparing you mainly out of respect for the old Southern King. Don't think I can't kill you. From now on, ensure the stability of the Southern Territory, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The four protectors nodded repeatedly, then showered Ye Feng with grateful and tearful words of appreciation.
After that, the Northern King entered the hall, and the doors of the hall were quickly closed. Even Hong Qingyan chose to come out, leaving guards like Xia Lengchan and Sima Zhantian outside, both of whom found this quite strange.
They were very curious. What on earth were these two kings of the north and south discussing inside?
No one knew that, about an hour later, Southern King Dugu Ming emerged. Although his power had still not recovered, the expression on his face was no longer as dejected and dim as before; he even appeared somewhat excited.
Seeing this, Xia Lengchan was undoubtedly more curious, but of course, they couldn't possibly go up and ask, for the deliberations of kings were certainly not for them to probe into.
Nothing was said overnight, and the next day, Southern King Dugu Ming came early again, this time carrying two large chests. What was contained within those chests, likewise, no one knew.
After breakfast, Ye Feng—who was seated in a wheelchair pushed slowly by Hong Qingyan—came out. At the same time, he hurried Sima Zhantian, Xiao Chuanqi, and others, and the Southern King also summoned Grand Commander Lan and another high-ranking officer from the Southern Territory.
"I have an announcement to make!" Ye Feng spoke, looking at the Great Commanders, his voice very serious.
"What are your orders, my Lord? Just command us!" The commanders bowed in unison, equally serious because they seldom saw Ye Feng in such a solemn mood.
Whenever the Northern King put on such a serious demeanor, it meant the upcoming announcement was bound to be of utmost importance, a matter of great significance.
Ye Feng spoke with gravity, "For the next half month, I and the Southern King will enter into secluded cultivation. Remember, it is a closed-door retreat, and during this time, we shall not allow anyone to disturb us, no one at all. Is that clear?"
"We understand clearly!" the Great Commanders responded aloud.
"May I ask, Lord Northern King, if during this period the Southern Territory Lord requests an audience, what then?" Grand Commander Lan inquired.
"Don't see him, see no one at all. Let alone the Lord of the Nine Domains, even if emissaries from the imperial court come, unless it's a matter of national extinction, we shall meet no one. Wait until we emerge from our retreat!"
Ye Feng's words resonated firmly, then he continued, "Furthermore, Grand Commander Lan, you must immediately notify the Lord of the Nine Domains that three days from receiving this message, they must arrive at the Southern Territory Base Camp without fail!"
Grand Commander Lan turned his head to look at Dugu Ming, as if seeking his opinion.
Dugu Ming said in a deep voice, "That is also my will, Commander Lan. Go and issue the order immediately. Remember, this is a King's Order. Make sure every one of the Lords of the Nine Domains must arrive. It's an order to discuss military and national affairs, and no one is to be absent!"
"Yes!" Grand Commander Lan bowed immediately, but his brow furrowed slightly, as he suddenly felt a sense of an impending storm brewing. Find your next read at empire
