Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

As they were speaking, another person stepped onto the deck.

This man bore a striking resemblance to the King of the Eastern Sea, with about seventy to eighty percent similarity.

Moreover, the two were about the same age; this was most likely the Family Head of the Zhan family, Zhan Lingqing, the elder brother of the King of the Eastern Sea. Discover hidden content at empire

"Family Head!"

As soon as Zhan Lingqing appeared, the members of the Zhan family on the deck called out to him with respectful expressions.

Zhan Lingqing nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the King of the Eastern Sea, and he said indifferently, "Younger brother, I won't lie to you, the decision made today was my own."

"We are both getting old. Look at how much of the Eastern Sea is still under your control."

"In these past few years, martial arts factions from all over the Eastern Sea have been emerging one after another, and some have even dared to threaten our Zhan family."

The King of the Eastern Sea took a deep breath, a trace of desolation in his eyes.

He did not retort because he knew in his heart that everything Zhan Lingqing said was true.

"Younger brother, since you're no longer able to hold onto some things, our Zhan family will naturally have someone to help you grasp them."

Zhan Lingqing's expression was indifferent, then he waved over to a man around thirty or forty years old standing nearby.

The man also ignored Chen Dao completely and walked straight to Zhan Lingqing's side, then said to the King of the Eastern Sea on the cruise ship, "Zhan Ziyi pays respects to Second Uncle."

"Are you acting as if I don't exist?"

Chen Dao suddenly spoke up, his expression turning sinister as he said, "My lord asked you to go down to talk, yet you dare ignore me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dao didn't care that two War Kings stood beside him; he directly made a move against the Zhan family members.

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled.

"How presumptuous!"

"A mere Great Grandmaster at his peak dares to be insolent on the Zhan family's ship!"

The Great Elder bellowed, his face full of murderous intent.

He then charged at Chen Dao.

In that moment, the terrifying aura of a War King enveloped the entire deck.

Chen Dao's complexion changed, and he shouted loudly, "My lord, save me!"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and showed a hint of helplessness.

But still, he raised his right hand and pointed a finger towards the Great Elder of the Zhan family.

A surge of Qi burst forth, and in an instant it struck the Great Elder's waist.

"Bang!"

The Great Elder was directly knocked flying and then crashed to the ground, his old face full of embarrassment.

Chen Dao raised an eyebrow provocatively and said to the Great Elder, "You dare to make a move on me without my lord's permission?"

"All of you from the Zhan family listen up; I don't want to see anyone standing on the deck within three seconds, or don't blame me for taking action."

The Great Elder looked at Ye Ling on the cruise ship with a wary gaze, not daring to make a move against Chen Dao again.

A casual strike could send a War King like him flying; even if Ye Ling was weaker, he was at least a high-ranking War King!

Zhan Lingqing, the Family Head of the Zhan family, also wore a solemn expression.

Although the burst of Qi from Ye Ling's fingertip was fleeting, it made him feel a sincere sense of dread.

The members of the Zhan family looked at Zhan Lingqing with questions in their eyes.

"Let's go down then. Since the Northern Liao King has intervened, our Zhan family must naturally give him that respect," Zhan Lingqing said.

Afterward, the members of the Zhan family jumped down from the deck one by one, landing steadily on the cruise ship.

"That's more like it."

Chen Dao nodded satisfactorily and then leaped down, returning to the cruise ship.

Upon hearing Chen Dao's words, the people of the Zhan family all wore gloomy expressions, yet they dared not say much more.

"Greetings to the Northern Liao King!"

Zhan Lingqing nodded slightly to Ye Ling and said in a grave voice.

Ye Ling glanced at him and said indifferently, "Carry on as if I don't exist."

Upon hearing this, many of the Zhan family couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Act as if you don't exist?

Who was it that just had us driven off the ship?

However, since even their own Family Head had to be so polite to Ye Ling, they naturally did not dare to challenge him.

Zhan Lingqing's expression changed slightly but he continued, "Northern Liao King, this matter concerns the private affairs of our Zhan family. I hope that the Northern Liao King does not interfere."

"How I conduct myself is not for you to criticize or instruct," Ye Ling said with an aloof gaze.

Seeing Ye Ling's authoritative stance, Zhan Lingqing no longer insisted, but turned to look at the King of the Eastern Sea and said, "Second brother, you are old now and unfit to continue to control the Eastern Sea."

"My son, your nephew Zi Yi, as you know, is an outstanding figure among the younger generation of our Zhan family. If he were to take over your position as the King of the Eastern Sea, it could not be more suitable."

"By then, with the support of our Zhan family, the Eastern Sea forces will surely be able to restore their former military might and once again shake the Eastern Sea."

Zhan Lingqing didn't beat around the bush and straightforwardly voiced his intentions.

The King of the Eastern Sea's eyebrows twitched, and he said with a glum face, "Heh, big brother, you really know how to scheme."

"If I were to die today at the hands of Sky Wolf Island and the disciples of Ye Tian Church, could my nephew become the rightful new King of the Eastern Sea?"

Zhan Lingqing did not speak nor offer any explanation, only gazing indifferently at the King of the Eastern Sea.

Ultimately, the King of the Eastern Sea was in decline, both old and frail, how could he withstand the pressing gaze of a warring king.

Under Zhan Lingqing's gaze, the King of the Eastern Sea couldn't help but step back a few paces, his countenance somewhat pale, his body already hollowed out by a life of excess.

A hint of helplessness showed in Ye Ling's eyes as he placed a hand on the shoulder of the King of the Eastern Sea, steadying him.

With Ye Ling's help, the King of the Eastern Sea was finally able to stand firm again.

He looked at Ye Ling gratefully, while a flash of determination crossed his eyes.

"Before the old generation of the King of the Eastern Sea is dead, anyone who wants to become the new King must have the old King's token!"

The King of the Eastern Sea said slowly.

As he spoke, he had already taken out the token symbolizing the identity of the King of the Eastern Sea in his hand.

Seeing the glittering token in the King's hand, Zhan Ziyi's breathing became noticeably quicker.

Even the Great Grandmasters Zhan Lingqing and the Great Elder, their breath also hastened a little.

The rest of the Zhan family showed excited expressions, seemingly already envisioning Zhan Ziyi as the new King of the Eastern Sea.

Seeing the wolfish gazes of those from the Zhan family before him, the King of the Eastern Sea felt a profound sadness.

"Come, my nephew."

"The moment you accept the token in my hand, you will be the next King of the Eastern Sea," the King of the Eastern Sea said dispassionately.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Ziyi, captivated by the allure of the token, stepped forward without any hesitation and approached the King of the Eastern Sea.

"To accept the token, you must kneel!"

The King of the Eastern Sea said with a heavy voice.

A flicker of hesitation flashed across Zhan Ziyi's eyes, but under the temptation of the token and the throne of the Eastern Sea, he knelt on one knee before the King of the Eastern Sea.

The moment he knelt, a ruthless light flashed in the eyes of the King of the Eastern Sea.
