Chapter 384: Chapter 385 Arrival of the Northern King’s Palace

"Pfft!"

The executioner who had been about to carry out the sentence fell heavily to the ground.

Whoosh!

The entire place was shocked!

"Who?" Zhou Tie was instantly alarmed, his gaze fixedly staring ahead, his pupils suddenly contracting; "What is that?"

In front of him, there were actually as many as three thousand fully-armed people, emanating an aura of deadly seriousness, a force not even the most elite Northern Liang Army could match!

"My god, could these people be here to rescue Commander Ye?" Fang Wu, who was about to be executed, widened his eyes in disbelief.

In contrast, Ye Wudao revealed a calm smile.

"Who are you, daring to barge into the Xuanwu Army’s execution grounds uninvited?" An inspector from the supervision team said angrily.

Before his words had ended, a terrifying sword light swept past!

"Pfft!" The inspector was instantly struck by the blade and fell into a pool of blood.

"Insects daring to misbehave!" Liu Kuangsheng slowly sheathed his sword, his eyes frosty.

"This swordsmanship, so formidable..." Zhou Tie’s expression changed, and he immediately approached Liu Kuangsheng, saying coldly; "I am the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Army—Zhou Tie. Who are you people?"

"Open your damn eyes and see clearly, we are from the Palace of the Northern King!" Liu Kuangsheng sneered.

Boom!

The Palace of the Northern King!

Hearing this name, Zhou Tie’s body trembled, and then he sneered; "Nonsense, the Palace of the Northern King was destroyed long ago by the royal family!"

"You seem to be quite afraid of the Palace of the Northern King, aren’t you?" Liu Kuangsheng mocked.

"Guards, seize them!" Deputy Commander Zhou ordered with a wave of his hand.

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Xuanwu Army on the scene charged toward Liu Kuangsheng and the others from the Palace of the Northern King.

Just at this critical moment, an angry voice came; "Stop!"

Who?

Everyone turned their heads, only to see a middle-aged man with a square face striding forward, his face full of anger.

"It’s the Commander of the Xuanwu Army, Ling Wei!"

"At your command, Commander!"

The tens of thousands of Xuanwu Army warriors on the scene all knelt down on one knee.

Zhou Tie, seeing Ling Wei arrive like a savior, hurried over, his face full of rage; "Commander Ling, you’ve come just in time! These people from the Palace of the Northern King actually want to go to war with our Xuanwu Army, you must uphold justice for us..."

Before he could finish, Ling Wei backhanded him with a slap, unmercifully striking Zhou Tie’s face.

"Shut up!"

Zhou Tie was completely dazed by Ling Wei’s slap, his face showing grievance; "You, why did you hit me?"

"You fool, do you know who he is?" Ling Wei pointed at Liu Kuangsheng.

"Hmph, and who is he?" Zhou Tie, clutching his face, said displeased.

"He was once the right hand of the Northern King, the renowned Sword Madman—Liu Kuangsheng!"

Hiss!

The Sword Madman!

Hearing this name, many in the Xuanwu Army involuntarily showed a look of awe.

"Damn, he’s actually the legendary Sword Madman!"

"I’ve heard of the Sword Madman’s feats. Back when our Northern Liang was in peril, it was Liu Kuangsheng who led the forces of the Palace of the Northern King to our rescue!"

Zhou Tie’s face was one of shock; "You, you’re the Sword Madman?"

"Hmph! You blind thing, back when Liu Kuangsheng accompanied the Northern King in battles beyond the borders, with his unmatched swordsmanship, he slew countless enemies and achieved illustrious victories!" After scolding, Ling Wei turned to Liu Kuangsheng and clasped his fist; "I had no idea Brother Liu would grace us with your presence, please forgive our ignorance!"

"No need for formalities, Brother Ling!" Liu Kuangsheng said with a faint smile.

Zhou Tie gritted his teeth and said, "Legion Commander! Even if he really is Liu Kuangsheng, so what? That Ye scoundrel killed my son and privately executed General Wei Long! Can he also raid the execution ground? This is breaking the rules, equivalent to declaring war on our Xuanwu Legion!"

"Declare war, so what?"

Unafraid, Liu Kuangsheng then knelt on one knee before Ye Wudao, placing his hand on his chest; "Liu Kuangsheng of the Northern King’s Pavilion, I apologize for coming late to rescue you, I hope the young master will forgive me!"

The three thousand warriors of the Northern King’s Pavilion knelt on one knee simultaneously; "Northern King’s Pavilion apologizes for coming late to the rescue, we hope the young master will forgive us!"

Boom!

The entire execution ground fell deathly silent!

Tens of thousands of Xuanwu Legion soldiers stood with mouths agape, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

"Holy shit, this new commander of Defense Sector 14, Ye Wudao, is actually the rumored young master of the Northern King’s Pavilion!"

"Damn, is this, this a fake?"

"Deputy Legion Commander Zhou wanted to kill their young master, no wonder the people from the Northern King’s Pavilion came to raid the execution ground!"

As for Fang Wu standing next to Ye Wudao, his face showed an exaggerated expression; "Holy shit, no wonder Commander Ye always remained so calm, not taking Deputy Legion Commander Zhou seriously at all! Turns out Commander Ye is the real big shot!"

In the past, the Northern King’s Pavilion was so powerful that it could compete with the entire one million-strong army of Northern Liang!

Though now in decline, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse!

Ye Wudao looked at everyone and said indifferently, "Rise."

"Yes!" Liu Kuangsheng got up, the three thousand Northern King’s Pavilion warriors rose simultaneously, neat and efficient.

This is bad!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tie couldn’t help but swallow hard; "This, this is impossible! How can he be the young master of the Northern King’s Pavilion?"

The Northern King’s Pavilion made great contributions to Northern Liang!

In the past, when Northern Liang faced the encirclement of the ten-nation coalition and was in dire straits, it was the Northern King’s divine army that descended from heaven, turned the tide, single-handedly repelled the ten-nation coalition, defeated five hundred thousand enemies, and saved Northern Liang from catastrophe!

Rumors said that the Queen of Northern Liang had an extremely close relationship with the Northern King in private!

After the Northern King’s fall, the Queen of Northern Liang was devastated and fasted for a long time.

There were rumors that the Queen of Northern Liang adored the Northern King and remained unwed for life!

If I killed the young master of the Northern King’s Pavilion, wouldn’t that be like insulting the Queen of Northern Liang right to her face?

There would definitely be no good outcome!

Thinking this, Zhou Tie began to falter, his body trembling uncontrollably, barely managing an awkward smile; "This, this must be a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Ling Wei sneered and continued; "Then let me reveal another piece of news to you! Ye Wudao is the son of the Northern King!"

Boom!

The son of the Northern King!

Hearing this shocking news, Zhou Tie’s vision darkened, a buzzing in his ears as if the devil had grabbed him by the throat!

"The, the son of the Northern King, no, it’s not possible..." Zhou Tie’s terrified eyes bulged, and he stepped back continuously, his complexion pale with despair.

If he truly is the son of the Northern King!

Given the ambiguous relationship between the Northern King and the Queen of Northern Liang, Ye Wudao would be the Queen’s nephew!

With the Queen of Northern Liang’s highly protective nature, daring to harm the descendant of her old friend, I’m simply courting death!

"Ye, Brother Ye, I, I was wrong, I will unlock your shackles at once..." Zhou Tie scrambled to unlock Ye Wudao’s shackles, but was met with a cold glare from Ye Wudao.

"Kneel down!"

Zhou Tie’s legs went weak as he knelt on the ground, his face plastering on a servile expression; "Ye, Brother Ye, oh no, Young Master Ye, this was all a misunderstanding... If I had known earlier that you are the young master of the Northern King’s Pavilion, the son of the Northern King, I wouldn’t have dared to offend you even if I had ten times the courage!"

"Are you scared now?" Ye Wudao asked back.

Zhou Tie revealed a smile uglier than crying; "Please spare me..."

"Do you know what you are like in my eyes?" Ye Wudao said indifferently.

"What, what am I?" Zhou Tie asked carefully.

"You’re just an idiot!" Ye Wudao said with a look of disdain.
