Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

As contradictions between Ye Ling and Ma Xianhong erupted, the entire council hall suddenly plunged into dead silence.

The several commanders from the East Sea forces as well observed quietly, pretending not to see anything.

The other four lords were similarly maintaining such a demeanor.

The King of the East Sea noted everyone's reactions and then cleared his throat slightly before speaking, "Today, I have summoned everyone here because there are urgent matters we need to discuss!"

"King of the East Sea, the urgent matter you speak of, is it concerning the death of the Eastern Lord?"

Before the King of the East Sea could finish speaking, Ma Xianhong had already interjected to ask.

An older lord who had remained silent until now also spoke, "Ah, the Eastern Lord has worked tirelessly for us in the East Sea for many years. It's unfortunate he died so suddenly."

"And to think that some audacious villains dared to lay hands on an Eastern Lord from the East Sea."

"King of the East Sea, regarding the death of the Eastern Lord, you must investigate thoroughly and give us all an explanation!"

Another elderly lord, his expression dark, added, "If this lord finds out who was so bold, I will definitely tear him to pieces to avenge the Eastern Lord!"

The other two lords also maintained such an appearance.

"Hmph! The Eastern Lord disrespected our master and even went so far as to strike him and has already been put to death by our master!"

"If any of you wish to seek revenge for this criminal, feel free to speak up!"

"I wouldn't mind sending you to reunite with him."

Chen Dao said coldly.

Upon these words, the several lords present all showed expressions of disbelief and turned their gaze toward Ye Ling.

As lords of the East Sea, how could they not extend their power into the East Sea forces?

They likely knew about the Eastern Lord's death at the hands of Ye Ling even before the King of the East Sea did!

Their expressions of shock at this time were merely pretense.

Before these people could speak again, the King of the East Sea had already coughed lightly and then said, "The Eastern Lord disrespected the Northern Liao King and had only himself to blame."

"Let this matter be put to rest, and let us not speak of it anymore."

"I have called you here today to discuss another matter—the annihilation of Sky Wolf Island!"

Upon hearing this, the lords all showed a hint of shock in their eyes.

Unlike their feigned shock at the death of the Eastern Lord, their astonishment this time was genuine!

In recent years, Sky Wolf Island had rapidly risen, occupied an island in the sea, and behaved atrociously; even three attempts by the East Sea forces to subdue them had ended in failure, with the loss of three commanders.

It was surprising that the King of the East Sea was not only ignoring past lessons but also preparing a fourth campaign against Sky Wolf Island!

"King of the East Sea, I hope you will think twice about this matter!"

"Sky Wolf Island has eight Island Masters, each more mysterious than the last. No one knows the true extent of their power. Facing such a formidable Sky Wolf Island, we likely don't have the capability to eliminate them!"

"The previous three attempts by the East Sea forces to besiege them were all unsuccessful, and we even lost three commanders. This fourth attack will likely fail just like the previous attempts!"

One lord looked at the King of the East Sea and then spoke gravely.

Although the others didn't speak, their expressions already made their thoughts clear.

From their expressions, it was not hard to tell that their thoughts aligned with what this lord had said, and they did not support the King of the East Sea in sending troops to besiege Sky Wolf Island.

"Heh heh, you are all overly concerned!"

"In this fourth attempt to subdue Sky Wolf Island, I must succeed!"

"With the Northern Liao King's mighty help, Sky Wolf Island is trivial!"

The King of the East Sea, looking at Ye Ling, said with a hearty laugh.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the five lords slightly changed.

Ma Xianhong immediately spoke up, "King of the East Sea, I regret that I cannot agree to this!"

"The Lord of the East has contributed so much to our East Sea, only to die by this Northern Liao King's hand over a mere offense."

"I do not have the guts to collaborate with such a ruthless person!"

With these words, the expressions of the other four lords also changed.

Following that, an elderly lord looked at the King of the East Sea and said, "Lord Ma is right. I had a good relationship with the Lord of the East. I cannot collaborate with someone who has killed my close friend!"

"I also had an excellent relationship with the Lord of the East, I can't possibly collaborate with that Northern Liao King!"

Another elderly lord spoke up.

Then, the other two lords also expressed their reluctance to cooperate with Ye Ling, the man who killed the Lord of the East.

Seeing such firm attitudes from these five lords, the King of the East Sea's expression darkened, his eyes filled with conflict.

As he was growing older, the King of the East Sea's control over the East Sea armies was weakening by the day.

These five lords, who typically presided over various parts of the East Sea, had long extended their reach into the East Sea armies.

Even joining forces, the five lords could mobilize more of the East Sea armies than the King of the East Sea himself.

If the five lords refused to act against Sky Wolf Island, the King of the East Sea alone could not mobilize enough of the East Sea armies to subdue the island.

Chen Dao's expression darkened, ready to erupt in anger.

But Ye Ling merely looked at him and shook his head with a light laugh.

Seeing Ye Ling's reaction, Chen Dao reined in his anger, and quietly stood behind him.

"King of the East Sea, it's not that we want to make things difficult for you, but collaborating with someone who killed the Lord of the East is indeed asking too much of us."

"However, I can indeed bring a powerful ally for the King of the East Sea. With their help, annihilating Sky Wolf Island is not impossible!"

Ma Xianhong suddenly interjected.

At his words, everyone in the council hall turned their eyes towards him.

The King of the East Sea's eyebrows raised, he quickly asked, "Who might this ally be? They truly have such power to annihilate Sky Wolf Island?"

"Heh heh, far away on the horizon, yet close before our eyes!"

Ma Xianhong chuckled, then continued, "The ally I speak of is backed by the Night Sky Sect behind these two!"

"You all understand how rapidly the Night Sky Sect has risen in the past few years, and just how powerful the people within the sect are!"

"If the King of the East Sea is willing, I can persuade the Night Sky Sect to join us in this campaign against Sky Wolf Island. I believe with the Night Sky Sect's warriors joining us, the annihilation of Sky Wolf Island is within reach!"

Upon hearing this, one lord immediately spoke up, endorsing the idea, "King of the East Sea, I think Lord Ma's proposal is very good!"

"The Night Sky Sect has risen powerfully in recent years. It is clear there are formidable figures within the sect. With their assistance, annihilating Sky Wolf Island is indeed not impossible!"
