Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 266 Bei Liang

A sleepless night gave way to the early morning.

Ye Ling had not slept all night, seated on the sofa in his room with a whirl of thoughts in his eyes.

In his hands, he still held the letter that Zhan Qimeng had given him the night before.

It was only when a ray of sunlight spilled through the window that Ye Ling slowly came back to his senses.

He looked down at the letter in his hand and murmured, "Old man, so you had already anticipated the current situation all those years ago..."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

As the sound of his voice faded, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Ling put away the letter, rose to his feet, and opened the door.

"Senior Brother!"

Standing outside was Zhan Qimeng, her eyes sparkling with vitality.

After all, she was a powerhouse of the Imperial Path, not to mention going without sleep for one night; even several days without rest wouldn't pose any problem.

"You're up this early, girl?"

Ye Ling asked with a light chuckle.

Zhan Qimeng shook her head and replied, "I didn't sleep. After finally seeing you, Senior Brother, how could I possibly fall asleep?"

"I waited until it was light out so I wouldn't disturb your rest to come find you."

Hearing this, Ye Ling shook his head with a smile, "Qimeng, originally I was headed for the Imperial Capital, but it looks like I'll have to change course now."

"Change course? Where are we going now?"

Zhan Qimeng asked with a puzzled face.

Ye Ling thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "To the place your grandfather once guarded, once battled..."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Zhan Qimeng's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a touch of sorrow.

Although she was just a child picked up by Zhan Wuya, she had been by his side for as long as she could remember, and their bond was naturally incredibly strong.

Before Zhan Wuya died, he had sent Zhan Qimeng to a small mountain village, causing her to miss seeing him for the last time.

This had always been a regret in Zhan Qimeng's heart, and now that Ye Ling mentioned going to Northern Liao, it naturally stirred up many painful memories.

"Let's go, let's visit Northern Liao, see the land that the old man once protected..."

After hastily finishing breakfast, everyone set off on the road to Northern Liao.

With Tianqin Ridge and Tianhuai River as the boundary, the region to the north belonged to Northern Liao.

In fact, the moment Ye Ling and his party crossed over Tianqin Ridge and Tianhuai River, they had already arrived in Northern Liao territory.

However, in the eyes of most people from the Dragon Nation, the true Northern Liao lay north of the north!

And the actual size of Northern Liao's domain would depend on how far the Northern Liao army could mark their boundaries from the national border!

Wherever the Northern Liao army was stationed was considered Northern Liao territory!

Northern Liao was harsh and challenging due to its extreme cold, and the constant covetous stares from Luo Sha Kingdom, which neighbored the Dragon Nation, had resulted in the Northern Liao military being far superior to the other three major war zones, standing alone in its prowess.

Perhaps because they knew they were returning to Northern Liao, Chen Dao and the others drove at breakneck speeds.

By the time the sun slid towards the west in the sky, they had already stepped into a world of ice and snow.

"Phew! Having traveled to so many places, it's still the frosty air of our Northern Liao that invigorates the spirit!"

Chen Dao opened the window, took a deep breath, and sighed with enjoyment.

Wang Ziyu, seated in the back, shuddered, evidently chilled by Chen Dao's sudden action.

However, the three occupants in the car, Ye Ling included, were all of the Imperial Path realm, with strength enough to remain unaffected by the environment.

"Sir, are we going directly back to the Northern Liao military headquarters?"

Chen Dao turned to look at Ye Ling and excitedly asked.

Yet Ye Ling shook his head, "No, let's go to the tribe of Aguza first."

"This... Sir, you are the Northern Liao King. Why not return to headquarters but go to Aguza's tribe instead?" Chen Dao asked hesitantly.

Ye Ling glanced at him, his expression indifferent, "I've been imprisoned for three years. Can you guarantee that during these three years, everyone in the Northern Liao army has remained loyal to me, just as you and Ye Jiu have?"

"If we go directly to headquarters, we might scare off the snakes. It's better to find a place to settle down first and see how those people in the Northern Liao army react to my return."

"After all, Xiao Yun is considered the most outstanding of the young generation from the Xiao family. If in these three years he hasn't been able to shake the Northern Liao army at all, that would be rather disappointing."

Hearing Ye Ling's words, Chen Dao nodded gravely and said no more.

When Ye Ling was still in Northern Liao, the million-strong Northern Liao army followed only his commands.

But after Ye Ling was framed and imprisoned for three years, with no sightings of him, and with Xiao Yun parachuted in from the imperial city, it was inevitable that some in the Northern Liao army might harbor inappropriate ambitions.

The vehicles continued their journey through the icy landscape, forging towards the deeper regions of the frozen plain...
