Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

"Indeed, a good lad, truly worthy of being the former Northern Border King; even if he was ostracized from the Northern Border, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse!"

The Great Protector's voice was deep and cold, his face still filled with contempt.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at the four of them and said, word by word, "If I remember correctly, before the old Southern King passed away, he entrusted Brother Dugu to you four, telling you to assist him well. Now, less than five years after the old Southern King's death, you have cast his words to the back of your minds. As retainers, do you not feel ashamed?"

"As subjects, you four secretly conspired with the Lord of the Nine Domains, openly defying the command of the Southern King and even attempting to murder the deposed Southern King Dugu Ming. As retainers who are neither loyal nor filial, what right do you have to claim the title of Southern Territory Guardian Realm Kings?"

"Such rebellious ministers and traitorous subjects who commit insubordination should be put to death without mercy!"

Ye Feng's words rang out forcefully; although he was in a wheelchair, his entire being exploded with an authoritative aura.

The four Guardian Realm Kings were so angered that they trembled all over, among them the one holding the Iron Brush, the Fourth Protector, coldly sneered, "It's utterly laughable. We four were entrusted by the old Southern King with the responsibility of maintaining the peace of the Southern Territory.

Now that the Southern Territory is in turmoil, it's natural for us to stand up and stabilize the situation. What's more, what right does a boy with a broken leg have to meddle in the affairs of the Southern Territory?"

"That's right, even if you were still the King of the Northern Border, you wouldn't have the right to interfere with the matters of the Southern Territory. What's more, you've become nothing more than a short-legged stray dog, not even able to preserve your own Northern Border King's position, and you think about meddling in the affairs of the Southern Territory?

It's truly laughable to the extreme!"

"Where are the soldiers of the Southern Territory?" the Great Protector suddenly called out sternly, and although the old fellow was over seventy years old, he was still a Huajin Grandmaster, and his voice boomed, almost spreading throughout the entire Southern Territory base camp.

"The soldiers of the Southern Territory are here!" Suddenly, the night-time base camp erupted with thunderous shouts.

Although the soldiers stationed at the Southern Territory base camp were not numerous, there were nearly two thousand of them, and they were mostly elite troops. At this command, they began converging towards this direction one after another.

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, seeing this, quickly returned to Ye Feng's side. Xia Lengchan, Zhuge Yu, and Li Jingang, after a moment's hesitation, also moved to Ye Feng's side, protecting him at the center.

Ye Feng's expression remained calm; he didn't take the opposition seriously at all. Let alone two thousand soldiers, even scenes ten times bigger than this were nothing he hadn't seen before.

South King Dugu Ming, who had been ignored in silence, suddenly stepped forward and coldly shouted, "Four Protectors, I finally understand. Now, why, knowing that Xiao Jingyuan from Hundred Herbs Domain took part in conspiring against me, did you still choose to cover for and protect him? Why, what is the reason for this?"

"Could it be that you've truly cast aside the old Southern King's entrustment and don't take me seriously at all?"

The King of the Southern Territory was filled with sorrow. At first, he couldn't bring himself to believe that the Four Great Guardian Realm Kings, whom he had respected and relied upon, would choose to betray him.

The Great Protector waved his hand dismissively and snorted coldly, "Why? Don't you understand? Look at what the Southern Territory has become during the years you've been the New Southern King. When the old Southern King was in power, although the Nine Domains were proud, they weren't as presumptuous as they are now."

"If it weren't for your extreme weakness and incompetence, the Southern Territory wouldn't be in such a disorganized state. Would other countries dare to covet our Southern Territory National Gate? Would the Gu&Poison Sect of the Hundred Thousand Mountains dare to rise from the ashes and stir up trouble again? All of this is because you are too useless!"

The Great Protector was indignant, looking righteous as he said, "Moreover, most importantly, you have now lost all your martial arts skills and no longer have the qualifications to serve as the King of the Southern Territory. You can no longer command the soldiers and generals of the Southern Territory!"

"I'm not qualified to serve as King of the Southern Territory? What a joke, truly a grand joke!"

Dugu Ming suddenly burst into loud laughter, shouting angrily, "I admit, my methods have been too lenient over the years, but that's because I took into consideration the people of the Nine Domains. Moreover, if I hadn't personally fought against the Gu&Poison Sect of the Southern Border five years ago, I wouldn't have been poisoned.

Even with the poisoning, if it weren't for the likes of Xiao Jingyuan and Wu Zhong secretly harming me, I wouldn't have lost all my martial arts!"

"Now you, the Four Great Guardian Realm Kings, disregard right or wrong, black or white, and keep saying that maintaining the stability of the Southern Territory is the top priority. It's truly an ironic and laughably ridiculous statement. Furthermore, you're not qualified to depose me. Only the imperial court has the right to judge whether I should be deposed or not. You are not fit to do so!"

The Great Protector replied sternly, "True, we are not qualified to depose you from your throne, but what I can tell you is that tonight, the four of us and several other commanders will jointly petition the Lord of the Nine Domains to write to the imperial court to remove you from your kingship and to select someone brave, wise, and capable to take over!"

"You..." Dugu Ming was so angry he trembled all over and couldn't utter another word.

Meanwhile, two thousand soldiers had already assembled and were rapidly advancing toward them.

Through all this, Ye Feng watched coldly, showing no intention of interjecting.

The Second Protector, holding the Square Inch Chessboard, sneered, "I have to say, Southern King, you've truly disappointed us. We thought you had brought some powerful master here, but it turns out he is just a lame cripple. If this Ye fellow were still the Northern Border King, we might have some reservations, but now, he's nothing but an insect. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire

Killing him is nothing to worry about - we need not be concerned at all."

Dugu Ming's face showed a grave expression; he realized that if today's events escalated further, he himself might not leave unscathed, especially since he had lost all his martial arts and didn't even have a single guard by his side, leaving him virtually undefended.

"Northern King, what should we do now?" asked Southern King Dugu Ming as he came over.

Ye Feng turned to look at him, then said, "Do you still have the King's Token with you?"

Dugu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Of course, I carry the King's Token with me."

"Good, you must now take the Southern King's Token and order these two thousand soldiers to retreat immediately!" Ye Feng said sternly.

Dugu Ming was startled, "Northern King, given the current situation, even if I take out this Southern King's Token, I doubt these two thousand soldiers will listen to me. Will this actually work?"

"Whether it works is not your concern. Just take the token and go!"

Ye Feng smiled briefly, then his face darkened, and his killing intent surged. He said through gritted teeth, "You are, after all, still the King of the Southern Territory. If these two thousand soldiers still refuse to stand down after seeing the Southern King's Token, it would be an outright act of insubordination, equivalent to rebellion.

If they continue to disobey after you've warned them thrice, then I need not show any further restraint. All will be killed without mercy!"

All the while, the Great Commander of the Southern Territory was watching Ye Feng closely, noting every move. When he heard Ye Feng mention "killed without mercy," he couldn't help shivering, thinking to himself, "Such a strong killing intent, such domineering authority... could this be the true aura of a king?"
