King of Creation Chapter 1805 - 1790: Breaking Again

Inside the Palace of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, the Monarch of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, Guo Zhang, was discussing state affairs with the Prime Minister, the Great General, and others.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat unusual.

Within the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, it was natural that Guozhang of the County had the highest authority, followed by the Prime Minister and the Great General. But currently, on the left of Guo Zhang, sat an eunuch with a pale face and no beard.

Even Guo Zhang, sitting in the main seat, frequently raised his glass to toast this eunuch.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. Although Ye Zhen is the Wind Patrol Envoy, he has conflicts with the West Patrol and cannot attend to himself. He won’t be able to stir much trouble.

First, let’s show him some force. When he comes pleading, we can give him a small share, which will be enough for him." The eunuch, referred to as Chief Steward Mao, said.

The Prime Minister of the Marquisate, sitting on the right, wore a worried expression, "Chief Steward Mao is right, but Ye Zhen has a reputation in North Sea County. I’m just afraid he..."

"Afraid of what! I’m just afraid he won’t stir trouble. Hasn’t Your Majesty always wanted to avenge the Old Marquis? If he dares to act, it’s the perfect chance to find his sore spot!" Chief Steward Mao said confidently.

At these words, a flash of hatred appeared in Guo Zhang’s eyes.

Seven years ago, when Ye Zhen and Princess Changle returned from the Demon Clan Territory, they were pursued by the former Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, Heh Shen, eager for credit.

In the ensuing chaos, Heh Shen’s forces killed the original Marquis Haiyuan, Guo Guangchang, forcing Ye Zhen to use the deadly move, Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder.

It was in that battle that the Little Demon fell into a slumber.

Afterwards, moved by the fact that the original Marquis Haiyuan died saving Princess Changle, Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long decreed the establishment of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

This led to the current Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

However, Guo Zhang, the then-heir of the Marquisate and now the Monarch of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, suspected Ye Zhen due to the complete eradication of Heh Shen and his subordinates.

He held a grudge, blaming Ye Zhen for his father Guo Guangchang’s death, but never had the chance to act.

"But..." The Prime Minister was about to protest when Guo Zhang interrupted, "Chief Steward Mao is right.

With His Highness Prince Huan backing us, what can he do? Let’s hope he stirs trouble." Guo Zhang’s eyes filled with hatred.

Hearing this, Chief Steward Mao clapped his hands and laughed, "Your Majesty is wise. With my lord, His Highness Prince Huan, here..."

"Report!"

Amidst the urgent cries, the commander of the Imperial Guard hurriedly entered the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, Ye Zhen, attempted to take control of the Ancient Teleportation Formation but failed. He brazenly ordered an attack on the elite garrison stationed at the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

He used the Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbow, causing over two hundred casualties. The rest were captured."

"What?"

The Prime Minister exclaimed in shock, as Guo Zhang slammed the table and stood up, "He dares to start a war, he has such audacity."

"Your Majesty, that’s not all. Ye Zhen is currently breaking the legs of the captives one by one, claiming it’s to avenge the crippling of his Heavenly Patrol Department subordinates." The Commander of the Imperial Guard said.

"What?" Guo Zhang roared with rage, "This is intolerable!"

"Great General, quickly mobilize the Imperial Guard and accompany me to the Ancient Teleportation Formation to see how arrogant this Ye truly is."

Simultaneously, Guo Zhang ordered an Inner Attendant, "Summon the National Master, quickly!"

"Your Majesty, with Ye acting so brazenly, let me accompany you," Chief Steward Mao also stood up saying.

Hearing this, Guo Zhang was overjoyed, "Nothing could be better! With Chief Steward Mao accompanying us, not just Ye, even the West Patrol Xio Qiangu has to show some respect."

Chief Steward Mao nodded, saying nothing more.

Guo Zhang’s words pleased him, though he dared not directly acknowledge them.

The name of the Second Chief Steward of Prince Huan’s Mansion was indeed useful, and he was truly a confidant of Eldest Prince Ji Ao, who was Prince Huan.

Pretty much ninety percent of the officials and nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to show him some respect.

Prince Huan’s status was quite special.

However, Xio Qiangu of the West Patrol was an exception.

Xio Qiangu was someone even His Highness Prince Huan respected greatly and dared not provoke.

In Chief Steward Mao’s view, however, Ye Zhen of the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy clearly didn’t fit this exception.

The Imperial Guard of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom was ready at all times and could be mobilized swiftly.

In just a matter of a hundred breaths, thirty thousand out of the fifty thousand Imperial Guards defending the Palace were rapidly mobilized to accompany Guo Zhang as they charged fiercely toward the Ancient Teleportation Formation of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

Shortly after the Imperial Guard’s deployment, while they were advancing, the commanders suddenly felt a chill as an old man in a feathered robe descended from the sky, landing in front of Guo Zhang.

"What urgent matter does Your Majesty have to summon me?"

This person was none other than Xuanzhi National Master, a Dao Realm expert hired at a high price by the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom.

As a marquisate, especially one by the sea, it was too dangerous not to have a Dao Realm expert present.

Guo Zhang briefly explained the situation, inviting the National Master Xuanzhi to accompany them.

With the Xuanzhi National Master accompanying them, Guo Zhang felt much more at ease.

However, National Master Xuanzhi cast his gaze on the entourage of over a hundred eunuchs, particularly on Chief Steward Mao, with a hint of apprehension.

"Oh, National Master Xuanzhi, this is Chief Steward Mao of Prince Huan’s Mansion, here for this matter as well." Guo Zhang explained.

A few explanations, and National Master Xuanzhi relaxed, following behind Guo Zhang quietly as they swiftly flew towards the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

The Ancient Teleportation Formation in Haiyuan City was at the city center, very close to the palace, and they arrived there in just a few dozen breaths as they sped along.

Even before reaching their destination, Guo Zhang, the Prime Minister, and the Great General heard the successive screams.

Hearing these sounds left the group astonished.

When they arrived, Guo Zhang, the Prime Minister, and the Great General were shocked beyond words by the scene before them.

Not only were corpses strewn around the Ancient Teleportation Formation, with blood flowing like rivers, but ninety percent of the bodies wore the armor of their Haiyuan Kingdom.

Right General Wu Chong, and nearly a hundred elite Dark Palace Realm leaders drawn from various armies, were tied up like dumplings.

What was more infuriating to Guo Zhang and his companions was that the Heavenly Patrol Department personnel were using brute force to break the captives’ legs. Some of them bent at strange angles, with some soldiers’ bones starkly exposed.

Witnessing this, Guo Zhang’s hands trembled in anger.

Arrogant!

This Ye dared to such extent.

Old grudges hadn’t cleared, and new enmities arose.

Moreover, although he, the Monarch of the Marquisate, had arrived, Ye Zhen showed no signs of stopping.

"Stop!"

"How dare you kill my Haiyuan soldiers, Ye Zhen, you’re reckless! Ye Zhen, are you trying to rebel?" Guo Zhang roared furiously.

Listening to Guo Zhang’s roar, Ye Zhen didn’t even raise an eyelid, as if he hadn’t seen him at all.

Ignored!

Guo Zhang’s face immediately turned deeply unsightly!

The next moment, Ye Zhen pointed to the trussed-up Right General Wu Chong and Dark Palace Realm leaders, "Are you all blind? Why aren’t these hundred-plus people’s legs broken yet?"

Commander Zheng froze momentarily, then, elated amidst his delight, smacked a soldier’s head, "Didn’t you hear the lord’s order? Break all their legs too."

Guo Zhang was stunned, not expecting that even with his presence, Ye Zhen continued to be so audacious, intending to break the legs of Right General Wu Chong.

"You dare!"

Crack!

The sound of bone-breaking resounded crisply at the moment of Guo Zhang’s angry shout.

But Right General Wu Chong had spunk, uttering not a single sound.

However, this deeply infuriated Guo Zhang, who was now furious in an inexplicable way.

"Daring to commit violence in front of me, how intolerable!

Ye Zhen, if you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t think about leaving alive!"

"Enclose them, surround them all!"
