Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Ye Ling and the others left the council hall and immediately returned to the villa.

Only Ye Ling sat on the sofa, while Ye Jiu and the others all stood beside him with ugly expressions on their faces.

"Sir, why not let me take action and kill those two from the Ma Xianhong and the Night Sky Sect, and be done with it!"

"What kind of 'number one talent of the Eastern Sea' nonsense, he's just someone who has barely stepped into the half-step realm of a War King."

Chen Dao said with a clanging voice.

It wasn't that he was overly arrogant, but he had spent years on the battlefields of Northern Liao, fighting against enemies, and having wandered numerous times on the brink of life and death. Although he had not yet stepped into the half-step realm of a War King, his combat prowess was on par with those who had just entered that level.

If Chen Dao were to truly face Ma Xianhong, after being pushed to the brink, the outcome of who would win and who would lose was still uncertain.

Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a light laugh, "One half-step War King, two Great Grandmaster peaks."

"Your strength is indeed strong, but do you have the confidence to retreat safely or even to kill them?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao's eyes flickered, as if he was weighing whether he could take down Ma Xianhong and the other two with his own strength.

A moment later, Chen Dao reluctantly admitted to reality.

If he were only up against Ma Xianhong, Chen Dao was ninety percent sure he could kill him.

But now, with two peak Great Grandmasters by Ma Xianhong's side, the three of them, if they joined forces, would give even someone with Chen Dao's strength a hard time.

"Sir, as long as you give the word, if Ye Jiu or He Feng join me, the two of us can easily kill those three arrogant fools!" Chen Dao said, brazen-faced.

Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and said indifferently, "Why so eager to kill? The King of the Eastern Sea is after all an old friend of my master and a former senior officer in our Northern Liao army."

"We still have to give him some face here in the Eastern Sea."

Hearing this, Chen Dao fell silent.

How could he not know that the King of the Eastern Sea was once a general under the command of the Northern Liao King, only later appointed to the Eastern Sea due to his outstanding military achievements?

"Sir, in my opinion, the Eastern Sea King will probably choose us in the end," He Feng suddenly spoke up.

Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and turned to look at He Feng, curiously asking, "And why do you say that?"

"Hehe, it's simple. Although we come from Northern Liao, the Night Sky Sect is just an emerging martial arts force in the Eastern Sea in recent years."

He Feng chuckled lightly, then continued, "Comparing the two, as long as the Eastern Sea King is not senile, he will definitely choose us."

"After all, no matter which side is chosen as the military aid for the Eastern Sea army, there's a certain threat to the Eastern Sea King. However, we are from Northern Liao and surely stronger than this Night Sky Sect of unknown origin."

Upon hearing He Feng's analysis, Ye Ling nodded with a smile.

"What you said is correct, the Eastern Sea King will ultimately choose us as the military aid for the Eastern Sea army."

"However, with his temperament, he's unlikely to make a decision today. Let's talk about everything tomorrow," Ye Ling said as he looked over everyone.

Outside, it was getting dark, and a heavy rain had enshrouded the Eastern Sea military headquarters without notice.

Listening to the pitter-patter of rain outside the house, Ye Ling quietly stood in front of the window, unwilling to go to sleep just yet.

His gaze reached far out of the window, as if seeing the vast sea and Sky Wolf Island above it.

"The Eastern Sea King is old, but that is not a reason for you traitors to cause chaos," Ye Ling muttered to himself.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, a sudden knocking on the door rang out.

Ye Ling's eyebrows raised, and he immediately opened the door of the room.

Standing outside the door was Su Rou, her cheeks slightly flushed as she held a quilt in her hands.

"Brother Ye... It has started to rain outside, and I am worried that you might feel cold, so I brought you a quilt..."

With her head bowed, Su Rou spoke in a soft voice.

Ye Ling shook his head with a smile. At his level of strength, what need did he have for a quilt?

Even if he were thrown into an ice cellar, with his strength, he could endure for ten days and a half a month.

Having reached the Imperial Realm, he had far surpassed martial artists' understanding of the martial path. To say that he possessed the power to control everything was by no means an exaggeration.

Even the battle-hardened Wang Qiangs, when compared with the supreme existence of the Imperial Realm, were merely slightly larger ants.

"Give it to me, then. It's late; you should rest early. We may have to set sail in a couple of days."

Ye Ling took the quilt with a light chuckle.

Su Rou nodded, her face blushing as she ran off.

Watching her retreating figure, Ye Ling's eyes were filled with mirth.

After spreading the quilt on the bed, Ye Ling too slowly drifted off into dreamland.

The night passed without incident, and dawn came the next day.

As a glimmer of dawn broke in the east, Ye Ling had already awakened.

After folding the quilt, Ye Ling chuckled and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a restful sleep."

Looking at the slightly pink quilt on the bed, Ye Ling shook his head with a smile.

After tidying up, Ye Ling went downstairs; Ye Jiu and the others were already waiting in the living room.

"My lord, someone from the Eastern Sea King just came with a message, saying the Eastern Sea King is waiting in the council hall for you to join him for breakfast," said He Feng upon seeing Ye Ling.

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and replied with a smile, "We'll go over together after Su Rou gets up!"

Naturally, Ye Jiu and the others had no objections.

The group thus casually sat in the living room, engaging in trivial chatter.

More than ten minutes later, Su Rou came down the stairs.

When she saw that Ye Ling and the others seemed to be waiting for her, her face immediately showed a trace of embarrassment.

"Are you all waiting for me?" Su Rou asked bashfully.

Ye Ling nodded slightly and said with a smile, "No problem, the Eastern Sea King invited us to breakfast together, and we thought it would be nice to wait for you to get up before heading there."

"Letting that old guy wait a bit longer isn't such a bad thing; it'll teach him not to think that we must help him."

The group left the villa and proceeded to the council hall.

By the time they entered the council hall, the Eastern Sea King was already seated inside, eating breakfast items like steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks.

The Eastern Sea King showed no signs of annoyance upon seeing Ye Ling; instead, he stood up and said, "Ye Ling, you rascal, you've finally arrived!"

"Have a seat, have a seat, everyone, please sit down!"

Ye Ling nodded slightly, and Chen Dao and the rest then took their seats.

Afterward, Ye Ling looked towards the Eastern Sea King and asked with a smile, "Eastern Sea King, have you made a decision about which faction to choose for reinforcements?"

"Of course, although I am old, I am not one to dawdle," replied the Eastern Sea King with a slight nod before adding with a smile, "To annihilate Sky Wolf Island, I have decided to let the Night Heaven Sect act together with you all!"

"The Night Heaven Sect's conditions for participating are similar to yours; they also want to be able to freely develop within the Eastern Sea Territory. So, I figured it would be easiest to have you both take action together; this way, I won't offend anyone."
