King of Creation Chapter 2085 - 2070: Walking the Road to the End
Previously on King of Creation...
For Haiyuan Dock, Ye Zhen as the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, only has the authority of inspection, but no taxation or control rights.
Ye Zhen has always adhered to the agreement with the King of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, Guo Zhang. Regardless of law or reason, Haiyuan Harbor belongs to Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, and Ye Zhen, as the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, cannot interfere.
In fact, Ye Zhen’s role as the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy indeed never interfered in the various interests like taxation at Haiyuan Harbor.
However, the discretion of the Heavenly Patrol Department is very large, and the reputation is quite intimidating.
With Ye Zhen’s tacit approval and Liu Feng’s deliberate operations, there would still be a large amount of profit.
Of course, this portion of the profit does not belong to Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom but is obtained relying on the prestige of the Heavenly Patrol Department.
Liu Feng has managed the degree very well.
More importantly, with the support of the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy as a backing, the North Sea Trading Company in North Sea County settled in early and occupied a large amount of territory, quickly expanding with the support of the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy.
Not to mention anything else, more than half of the warehouses and shops at Haiyuan Harbor belong to the North Sea Trading Company, which is clear evidence.
Now, it has long become the largest trading company in Haiyuan Harbor, anyway, difficulties encountered by other companies, the North Sea Trading Company can definitely solve.
In just a few years, the North Sea Trading Company has contributed over a million High Grade Spiritual Stones in profit to North Sea County, which is due to the rapid expansion of the North Sea Trading Company.
And the trading companies and warehouses that were previously seized were the warehouses and account books of the North Sea Trading Company.
Moreover, all shopkeepers and clerks of the North Sea Trading Company, along with the five hundred personnel from the Heavenly Patrol Department who previously inspected Haiyuan Harbor, had their legs broken and were thrown outside the harbor.
Watching this scene, Ye Zhen’s anger grew even more intense.
This is severing Ye Zhen’s foundation.
Take down the North Sea Trading Company, then take down the Two-World Teleportation Formation of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, then the income of North Sea County would be reduced by more than half at least.
With income reduced by half, maintaining that army of over a million would become extremely difficult, let alone seeking further development.
With a movement of his Divine Sense, the green vines that had just fully controlled thousands of Blood Cloak Warriors emerged from the ground again, quickly burrowing into the bodies of those Heavenly Patrol personnel and North Sea County shopkeepers and clerks.
This scene frightened the shopkeepers and clerks who began to scream.
But soon, someone exclaimed.
"My leg is healed, my wound is healed!"
The Yimu Spiritual Power of the Little Demon is incredibly sharp when injuring people, but it is also extremely effective when used for healing.
"Once healed, re-control the harbor and maintain the order of the harbor!" Ye Zhen’s voice rang out, prompting the Heavenly Patrol Guards who had seen Ye Zhen to exclaim and give him a grand salute.
After casually giving a few directions, Ye Zhen didn’t stay idle. One order after another was sent through the small Communication Transfer Formation to different directions.
Then, he waited quietly.
Meanwhile, turmoil engulfed the palace of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom. The sounds of King Guo Zhang’s furious curses echoed throughout the entire palace.
"You did this to me!"
"You lied to me, told me this guy was dead, that’s why I cooperated with you. But now, this scourge is alive and well."
....
Unbeknownst to the King of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, Guo Zhang, his furious curses, every word of them entered Ye Zhen’s ears without a miss.
With the Little Demon’s assistance, Ye Zhen didn’t even need to rely on Big Ears Nie Ting, as nothing in Haiyuan City could escape Ye Zhen’s notice.
Just under an hour later, Liu Feng hurriedly arrived with people, his expression slightly solemn.
"Master, we’ve investigated. The masters behind these people are the Eldest Prince, Prince Huan Ji Ao! Moreover, regarding this action, Prince Huan Ji Ao didn’t do much to cover it up. According to Du Tong’s confession, they are merely here to take over, just take over." Liu Feng reported.
"Prince Huan Ji Ao! It really is him, only he has been eyeing my assets, it seems the person plotting against me should be Prince Huan Ji Ao!"
This answer slightly surprised Ye Zhen, as his primary suspect before was the Grand Governor of the Human-Demon Battlefield, Prince Lik Ji Yuan.
Only he could silently and without knowledge plot against Ye Zhen in Zhengyao Two Realm City.
But unexpectedly, the person turned out to be Prince Huan Ji Ao.
The only uncertainty Ye Zhen currently holds is whether Prince Huan Ji Ao has colluded with the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
Is it a collaboration?
Or is Prince Huan Ji Ao purely targeting and retaliating against Ye Zhen for the Golden Trade Route?
However, regardless of which it is, Ye Zhen will not swallow his pride this time.
"Prince Huan Ji Ao, does he have businesses and caravans on this side of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, or even stationed intelligence personnel?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted, as he had already realized something.
"To reply to the Master, yes, and all information about these people is within our Heavenly Patrol Department’s control. But Master, please reconsider carefully!"
"Prince Huan Ji Ao, although not a Prince of Political Affairs, holds a status not much less than a Prince of Political Affairs, and even in the future, even if he doesn’t become the New Emperor....he surely won’t escape being a Prince of Political Affairs, please consider this carefully." Liu Feng advised earnestly.
"Are you saying he might become the New Emperor?"
Ye Zhen’s lips suddenly curled into a smile filled with Evil Qi, "He’s already about to put me to death, and you’re asking me to think twice! Rest assured, he absolutely has no possibility of becoming the New Emperor, even if he does, I will pull him down!"
This sentence, Ye Zhen might not have had the qualification to say in the past, but now, it may not be the same.
"This...." Liu Feng’s pupils contracted again, such a daring statement, it was indeed the first time he heard it.
"If you have the guts, capture all of Prince Huan Ji Ao’s men in Haiyuan City alive for me. If you don’t have the guts, I understand your difficulties, I will arrange for someone else to do it, and we will still be brothers!"
Ye Zhen’s words carried great gravity and were spoken from the heart.
Prince Huan Ji Ao, what kind of person is he? He potentially could become the future New Emperor, and certainly the future nailed Prince of Political Affairs.
Who dares provoke such a person?
Who dares to go crazy alongside Ye Zhen?
One careless move, and it could lead to catastrophic vengeance spanning decades or centuries, ending in the extermination of one’s family.
Therefore, Ye Zhen genuinely understood Liu Feng.
Not just Liu Feng, Ye Zhen would also respect the wishes of Gu Tieqi and others.
Ye Zhen currently has no retreat, Prince Huan Ji Ao’s blade is already raised skyward, Ye Zhen is unwilling to be captured without a fight, and can only resist.
But Gu Tieqi and Liu Feng still have more choices.
Hearing this, Liu Feng merely smiled bitterly.
"Master, what are you saying."
"Honestly, I am indeed scared too. But, having followed the Master for so many years, even if transferred out, everyone knows I am the Master’s man, and I already bear the Master’s imprint.
Apart from following the Master down this path to the end, there’s no other choice!" Liu Feng smiled bitterly.
Ye Zhen silently nodded, heavily patting Liu Feng’s shoulder, "Rest assured, if one day, this broken ship is about to sink, before I go down, I will settle you properly!"
Although Liu Feng didn’t quite believe this promise, he still nodded heavily, with a glint in his eye.
Truth be told, Ye Zhen’s rank is indeed very low, strength-wise not so impressive either, but only those around Ye Zhen understand how terrifying the energy Ye Zhen can mobilize truly is.
To assess one’s strength, look at the strength of their enemies, the most straightforward approach.
Not to mention anything else, just look at Ye Zhen, a minor Earl of North Sea, dealing with those political adversaries, what kind of people are they.
West Patrol Xio Qiangu, Duke Tian, King of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, Marquis Anling, Prince Lik, and so on.
For an Earl, just stirring trouble with one of them could lead to the extermination of their family.
But on Ye Zhen’s side, everything is well and fine.
"But Master, to capture all those people, my subordinates’ strength is somewhat insufficient." Liu Feng suddenly said.
A flash of light shimmered in his long sleeves, and a few figures appeared in the void, "From now on, these people are Wind Patrol Special Envoys of my Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy. Can you handle their identification documents?"
Sensing the terrifying aura of these individuals, Liu Feng was overjoyed, "Master, no problem."
