Chapter 85 Commander Wang's Advice
The meal finally came to an end amid Commander Wang's agony.
"Sir, would you require my service ahead and behind the horse?"
As they were leaving, Commander Wang spoke up.
Without waiting for Ye Ling to speak, Ye Jiu glanced at him and disdainfully said, "You are merely at the early stage of a Great Grandmaster. I could kill five like you with a single slap. What can you possibly do for the sir?"
"Go back the way you came and remember the words sir just said to you—that is what you should do."
Ye Ling also looked at Commander Wang and said, "Go back, and remember what I've tasked you with."
"Yes yes yes, this lowly one will leave now!"
Commander Wang dared not show the slightest discontent, immediately responding with a respectful demeanor.
Watching Ye Ling and his three companions get into the car and drive away, Commander Wang then boarded the jeep with two guards who had already been scared out of their wits.
"Commander, was that man really the legendary Northern Liao King?"
In the car, a guard asked with a frightened expression.
Commander Wang gave him a glance and indifferently said, "I think, in the vast Dragon Country, there is probably no one who would dare to impersonate the Northern Liao King unless he is tired of living."
"Regarding what you saw today concerning the sir, act as if you have seen nothing, understand?"
"If anyone dares to reveal a word about the sir's matter, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The two guards, silent as cicadas in winter, promptly responded, assuring with hand on heart that they would keep today's events a secret!
Soon, the jeep returned to the Zhao family courtyard.
Headed by Zhao Weiguo, the Zhao family members had been waiting outside the courtyard. Seeing the jeep arrive, they all showed expressions of excitement!
A guard got out first and opened the car door for Commander Wang in the back seat.
Upon seeing Commander Wang get out of the car, Zhao Weiguo immediately went up to meet him.
"Commander Wang, has that wretched Ye Ling already been executed by you on the spot?"
Zhao Weiguo asked with an excited expression.
Although Commander Wang's face was swollen somewhat unrecognizably, Zhao Weiguo assumed that the swelling was caused by his clash with one of Ye Ling's powerful subordinates, as at least Wang was back in one piece.
"Get lost! A whole pack of idiots, almost got me killed in Gusu City!"
Looking at Zhao Weiguo, who was eagerly awaiting a positive response, Commander Wang's eyes turned even colder, and he kicked Zhao Weiguo away!
This sudden change also stunned all the nearby Zhao family members. They watched Command Wang with expressions of horror, not understanding his actions.
Commander Wang naturally did not bother to explain, but simply strode into the Zhao residence and found Zhao Yuansi, who was still lying in bed recuperating.
"Commander Wang! You're back, has that wretched Ye Ling been killed yet?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
On seeing Commander Wang, Zhao Yuansi revealed an excited expression.
Commander Wang glanced coldly at him and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still seek revenge against Northern… Ye Ling?"
"Of course, the head of the Zhao family lineage along with thirty-two people were all killed. I was even left crippled by him. How can I not seek revenge?"
Zhao Yuansi, oblivious to Commander Wang's unusual temper, continued vehemently.
"Even if he annihilated your entire Zhao family, it wouldn't count as much."
"Zhao Yuansi, take it from me out of old acquaintance, stop seeking trouble from Ye Ling. He is not someone you can afford to offend."
"With that said, take care of yourself."
Commander Wang took a long, deep look at Zhao Yuansi and then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuansi's expression suddenly changed. He stared intently at Commander Wang and asked, "Commander Wang, are you saying that even you are no match for him?"
"Can you tell me who he really is so I can give up any hope?"
Commander Wang gave a bitter smile and shook his head, unable to even withstand a single glance from him, let alone confront him in battle.
If it had come to a real confrontation, any one of the three Ye Jiu would likely have been able to kill him in an instant.
"I cannot disclose his identity to you. You would do well to heed my advice and stop troubling him, or not even a god descending to Earth could save your Zhao family."
Naturally, Commander Wang dared not reveal Ye Ling's identity and promptly turned to leave.
Meanwhile, still reeling in shock, Zhao Yuansi saw Commander Wang stop at the doorstep, casually stating, "You have been expelled from the Southern Border Army."
Having said that, Commander Wang didn't look back as he left the Zhao residence!
And there stood Zhao Yuansi and the other members of the Zhao family, shocked by Commander Wang's final words, their faces showing a pitiful and bitter expression!
The Zhao family was truly finished; even Commander Wang couldn't offend someone who might decide to annihilate the Zhao family at any moment!
After leaving the Zhao residence, Commander Wang didn't directly leave Gusu City but went to a place where he had unfinished business on behalf of Ye Ling.
...
At the same time, a Rolls-Royce was slowly entering Gusu City.
Inside the car sat Yao Qian and the two Grandmasters.
Following directives from the Qian Kun War King, the trio immediately went to Mount Tai'er to find Hong Wu.
Years had passed, and under the guidance of the Qian Kun War King, Hong Wu, who had already been at the peak of the Great Grandmasters, was now just a step away from becoming a Half-Step War King.
Knowing that the reason Yang Qian and the others had sought him out was the will of the Qian Kun War King, Hong Wu, driven by a sense of gratitude, did not hesitate to agree to come out of retirement to help.
As the vehicle entered Gusu City, the Grandmaster who was driving suddenly spoke up, "Deputy Hall Master, are we going straight to find Ye Ling?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Qian fell silent.
A few moments later, he finally spoke, "Let's first head to Bata Hall to see if there's any new information."
"Yes!"
The Grandmaster driver responded, turning the car toward the direction of Bata Hall.
Hong Wu remained with his eyes closed, resting, unconcerned with the others.
The vehicle soon entered Bata Hall.
As the vehicle came to a halt, Chen Zhipeng, along with several other strong figures from Bata Hall, immediately appeared.
Chen Zhipeng's legs were disabled, and he was now confined to a wheelchair.
Pushed by one of the Grandmasters of Bata Hall.
Despite having his legs disabled, Chen Zhipeng still possessed the strength of a Great Grandmaster. Even though his power was not as great as before, he was still beyond what any Grandmaster could compare!
Yao Qian was the first to exit the car, then respectfully opened the door.
"Master Hong, we have arrived,"
said Yao Qian respectfully.
Hong Wu then got out of the car, his indifferent gaze sweeping across the strong figures of Bata Hall, his eyes displaying a trace of disdain!
Upon seeing Hong Wu, the color drained from Chen Zhipeng's face sitting in the wheelchair, as if he had realized something.
"Is there any new information about Ye Ling?"
Yao Qian ignored Chen Zhipeng and directly asked the group of Bata Hall.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Bata Hall figure immediately replied, "My lord, Ye Ling has used the treatment of Gu poison as a pretext to take over the assets of the major families in Gusu City and has established a foundation!"
"If you plan to move against Ye Ling, you could start with this foundation. Ye Ling's woman is in that foundation!"
