Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Zhan Qimeng, pulled by Zhang Xiulan in such a manner, found herself unable to break free despite her strength at the Imperial path level!

After realizing Zhang Xiulan's strength, Zhan Qimeng also revealed a resigned expression and was thus led away by Zhang Xiulan, gradually leaving the mountain village.

After the two of them left, over a dozen villagers from within the mountain village gathered at the entrance of the village.

Watching the two people recede into the distance and gradually disappear from sight, Old Zhao from the herb shop said with a light laugh, "The dragon has emerged, and now the phoenix descends from the mountain; a grand drama is likely to commence very soon."

The others did not speak; they silently watched the mountain path where Zhan Qimeng and her companion's figures had already vanished. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Elsewhere, after saying goodbye to Su Rou, Ye Ling also promptly set off with Chen Dao and others from Jinling City towards the imperial capital.

As for Su Rou's safety, a powerful martial artist from the Northern Liao army had already secretly arrived in Jinling City, so there was naturally no need to worry about her safety.

"Sir, on our journey to the imperial capital, are we going to settle the score with those who were involved in that matter back then?"

Inside the carriage, Chen Dao suddenly asked.

Ye Ling was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Settling scores is not quite it; it's just that the events of those days must be accounted for."

"That is only natural, Sir. You are the Northern Liao King, and strictly speaking, even the imperial capital falls within your jurisdiction!"

Chen Dao chuckled, then added sinisterly, "Those fellows entrenched in the imperial capital think they control the fate of the world, little do they know that even the place they sit upon belongs to you, Sir!"

Northern Liao was vast; the entire Dragon Kingdom from the Tianqin Ridge and Tianhuai River northward fell within the Northern Liao territory!

Northern Liao not only ruled over the entire northern part of the Dragon Kingdom but also controlled a large expanse of lands beyond the kingdom's borders.

Among the four major war zones, Northern Liao's territory was so vast that it almost equaled the combined area of the other three war zones.

And the imperial capital was situated within the northern territory; if one were to be precise, even the imperial capital fell under the jurisdiction of Ye Ling, the Northern Liao King!

"Heh heh, the imperial capital is the heart of the Dragon Kingdom; how could it be something I can control at will?"

"Let alone the one in the palace, even the central King seated in the imperial capital is enough to suppress all petty thieves."

Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and spoke casually.

Although he was the Northern Liao King, Ye Ling had never harbored thoughts of encroaching on the imperial capital.

Had it not been for the audacity of a few families in the imperial capital, Ye Ling would not even have personally descended upon it.

"Sir, it is rumored that the central King has already stepped into the Imperial path realm; I wonder, between you and him, who is the stronger?"

Chen Dao asked excitedly.

Martial Artists were most concerned about martial prowess, and it had already been ten years since news spread from the center that the central King had stepped into the Imperial path realm.

Even if he hadn't truly entered the Imperial path realm ten years ago, with a decade passed, it was almost certain he had truly achieved that level!

Ye Ling shook his head slightly and said, "Uncertain, the central King remains in seclusion all year round; if there's no trouble in the imperial capital, he wouldn't emerge easily. Within these ten years, I've only seen him twice."

"Moreover, at that time I had not yet entered the Imperial path realm and had no way of gauging how strong his power truly was."

"However, this time as we enter the imperial capital, if we really go to war with those families, the central King will certainly make an appearance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao nodded his head and then said with a face full of concern, "Sir, if the central King sides with those families, what shall we do?"

"You shouldn't have such thoughts."

Ye Ling gave him a look and continued, "Among the five kings of the Dragon Kingdom, even I, the Northern Liao King, might harbor other intentions, but the central King will not!"

"The central King, although in charge of the central region, truly only governs the one city of the imperial capital."

"But if he truly wished to govern, anywhere in the vast Dragon Kingdom could fall under his jurisdiction!"

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chen Dao drew a sharp breath, clearly not having expected that the central King, who was usually in seclusion, seemingly possessed little power but in fact had such overwhelming authority.

"A person of such status is already on par with those in the palace, why should he waver his own status for some power and influence?"

"Moreover, although I have only seen the Central King a handful of times, I can tell that he is a true sovereign!"

"Not for himself, but for the Dragon Kingdom, for the people!"

Without waiting for Chen Dao to speak, Ye Ling had already continued.

Chen Dao's face showed a hint of guilt as he said apologetically, "I judged you by my own narrow-mindedness..."

"It's not your fault, after all, you've never met the Central King and do not know what kind of man he is."

Ye Ling said with a light laugh.

Afterward, the carriage fell into silence once more, with only the roaring of the engine under Chen Dao's control.

Jinling City was quite a distance from the imperial capital, and it was difficult to reach the capital from Jinling City in one day.

The sky soon darkened, and Chen Dao said, "My lord, it's getting late. Shall we rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow?"

"Fine, let's find a place to rest for the night."

Ye Ling said indifferently.

Then, the several carriages entered the nearest city.

After booking several rooms at a hotel, everyone returned to their own rooms.@@novelbin@@

As for dinner, it would be arranged by the hotel to be delivered to their rooms.

Ye Ling lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, thoughts swirling in his eyes.

This trip to the imperial capital was bound to be perilous, and even though Ye Ling possessed the strength of the imperial realm, he still felt somewhat uncertain.

If the families that had been rooted in the imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom for nearly a hundred years were to go to war, Ye Ling did not know who would emerge victorious at the end of this battle!

Suddenly, Ye Ling raised his eyebrows and immediately got up to the room's doorway.

As he reached the door, a knocking sound followed.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Ye Ling reached out to open the door, and outside stood a woman in her forties.

Though of middle age, she possessed a charm that younger girls didn't have, somewhat captivating.

"Master! I've finally found you!"

The woman hugged Ye Ling, her voice even carrying a hint of sobs.

Ye Ling, with a look of helplessness, pushed the woman away from himself.

However, the woman clung to Ye Ling like an octopus, and he dared not use his strength for fear of hurting this woman.

"Wang Ziyu, let go of me first, we can talk calmly!"

Ye Ling said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziyu finally let go, but her graceful face still had two trails of tears on it.

"Master... you've suffered over these years..."

Wang Ziyu murmured.

Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and led Wang Ziyu into his room.
