Chapter 122 The New Sect Master
The Southern Border King might still be here, but Ye Ling was after all the Northern Liao King and could not steal Southern Border King's limelight.
Albeit the Southern Border King had no limelight to speak of...
Yet, Ye Ling still wanted to preserve the final semblance of dignity for this Southern Border King.
Upon seeing Ye Ling depart, Chen Dao immediately set out to follow him.
Compared to the shock of others present, Chen Dao's expression was calm throughout.
After all, he knew that Ye Ling had already reached that legendary realm, killing Miyamoto Musashi, a formidable warrior, with one move, was indeed quite normal!
As Ye Ling left, the frenzied yelling of the tens of thousands of Southern Border's soldiers gradually dissipated.
Watching Ye Ling's departing figure, self-mockery was evident on the Southern Border King's face.
Under the varying gazes of the crowd, he slowly walked to the platform, pulled out the sword that was embedded there, and then turned to leave as well.
He understood that after today, whether he remained the Southern Border King or not, his prestige among the Southern Border troops would plummet to rock bottom.
The Southern Border King's figure was filled with loneliness, who could have imagined that a king of the Southern Border would ever see such a day!
"What do we do now? The Northern Liao King's power is too terrifying, we previously provoked him, I'm afraid..."
The Second Elder said with a grave expression.
The Third Elder also showed a grave face upon hearing this, having no thoughts of resistance against such a formidable existence as Ye Ling.
If Ye Ling did not come looking for trouble with them, they would celebrate it as great fortune, where would they dare to provoke Ye Ling over pride!
At this moment, the Elder who had passed out also slowly came to.
He looked around with a bewildered expression in his eyes.
"Big brother, you finally woke up!"
"Are you alright? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Seeing the Elder wake up, the Second Elder also momentarily put Ye Ling out of his mind and asked with concern.
The Elder coughed lightly and then said, "I'm fine, just need some time to recover."
"What's the situation now? Has that Miyamoto Musashi already left with the sword?"
Hearing this, both the Second Elder and the Third Elder had awkward expressions on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Medicine King fell silent, his eyes brimming with thoughts, as if considering his own way out.
Before the two could speak again, the Tianling King snorted coldly and said, "Ye Ling was able to defeat Miyamoto Musashi so easily, his strength must have reached the War King realm."
"But don't forget, that Miyamoto Musashi had only just stepped into the War King realm; he probably hadn't yet adapted to the War King realm and came hastily to the Southern Border to show off his might!"
"From this, we can infer that Ye Ling's strength is most likely at the mid or late stage of the War King realm!"
Hearing the Tianling King's words, Medicine King and the Jade Mountain King immediately turned their gazes toward him, their eyes filled with puzzlement.
Seeing the two looking at him, the Tianling King continued with a grim face, "I'm not hiding this from you, the previous Sect Master of the Guiyi Dao Sect is still alive!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Medicine King and Jade Mountain King changed dramatically!
The previous Sect Master of the Guiyi Dao Sect was already a half-step War King fifteen years ago!
He suddenly announced ten years ago that he was entering seclusion to break through to the War King realm. However, less than half a year after this news spread, there was another report that he had failed his breakthrough and perished!
Nearly a decade had passed, and this former Sect Master of the Guiyi Dao Sect had never been seen in the Southern Border since, leading everyone to believe he was truly dead.
But now, the Tianling King was saying he was still alive!
"Then...where is Sect Master Jin now, and what is his level of strength?"
Medicine King asked in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.
The expression on Jade Mountain King's face mirrored that of Medicine King, also filled with great expectation.
"Hehe, Sect Master Jin is naturally in the Guiyi Dao Sect!"
"Furthermore, I can tell you that Sect Master Jin had already successfully broken through to the War King realm ten years ago!"
"The so-called seclusion to break through to the War King realm was nothing but a ruse to mislead outsiders!"
The Tianling King said with a sneer.
Upon hearing this, both Medicine King and Jade Mountain King showed excitement on their faces!
Nine years into the War King realm, how powerful must Sect Master Jin be now?
"Hehe, I know what you want to ask, and telling you won't hurt; I saw Sect Master Jin three years ago, and his strength had already reached the mid-stage of the War King realm, just one step away from the late stage!"
"Do you understand what I am implying?"
The Tianling King continued.
Medicine King's face revealed a relaxed smile as he then said, "Naturally, I understand! With Sect Master Jin around, what disturbance can Ye Ling possibly cause!"
