Chapter 108 The Helpless Southern Border King
After hearing the words of the Southern Border King, the Medicine King, who had appeared panicked in the thatched cottage, suddenly became surprisingly calm.
Even his gaze toward the Southern Border King carried a hint of mockery!
Sitting in the corner, Ye Ling clearly saw the mockery in the eyes of the Medicine King.
Shaking his head, he sighed softly, guessing that these so-called three elders of the rural clan were probably not so simple.
He wondered how the Southern Border King had even ascended to his position, seemingly oblivious to such a situation.
Could it be that after the death of the Old Southern Border King, the vast Southern Border could find no one else with talent?
Ye Ling glanced at the Southern Border King, whose face was filled with anger, and thought to himself.
"Report! The Heavenly Ridge King has arrived!"
"The Jade Mountain King has arrived!"
Just then, a voice announcing their arrival suddenly came from outside the council hall.
As soon as the words fell, before the people in the council hall could react, two tall figures had already strode into the council hall!
"Wu Yuan! Zhao Qingfeng!"
"You two, taking advantage of my coma, actually crowned yourselves as kings!"
Seeing the two men, the Southern Border King's expression grew even more somber as he addressed them.
The two were none other than the Heavenly Ridge King Wu Yuan and the Jade Mountain King Zhao Qingfeng!
"Heh, the Southern Border King must be joking!"
"You disappeared for three years, do you know how chaotic the Southern Border was during your absence?"
"If it weren't for us stepping forward to stabilize the unrest in various places, do you think you could still be sitting comfortably here in this Southern Border military headquarters?"
Faced with the Southern Border King's interrogation, the Heavenly Ridge King directly retorted.
Off to the side, the Jade Mountain King also scoffed and said, "Sir, times have changed."
"Do you really think that the Southern Border is still what it was three years ago?"
"The changes in the Southern Border during these three years of your coma have been too great!"
Hearing their words and seeing the undisguised ridicule on their faces, the Southern Border King trembled with anger!
"Elders, what do you think about this matter?"
Southern Border King asked through gritted teeth.
One of the elders sighed lightly and then fixed a sharp gaze instantly on the Grandmaster who was being pinned to the ground by Mo Qiyun!
He was one of the three protectors under Medicine King's command; seeing the elder's gaze fall on him, he immediately felt an ominous premonition rise within!
"In this old man's opinion, Li Zhiyuan also seems to have been framed."
"To my knowledge, this individual has frequented the thatched hut these past three years."
"It's likely this man who plotted against the Southern Border King and then pinned the crime onto Li Zhiyuan!"
One of the three elders spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, that protector's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "It wasn't me! I hold no grudge against the Southern Border King, why would I plot against him for three years!"
"Even if you are the three esteemed elders, you cannot falsely accuse me like this!"
The speaking elder's expression turned harsh as he coldly said, "Silence! If this old man says you are guilty, then you are guilty!"
With those words, the elder immediately raised his right hand, his fingertips flashed with a burst of energy that shot straight toward the protector's forehead!
The energy moved like the wind, instantly piercing through the protector's forehead, leaving behind a bloody hole with fresh blood flowing out!
"There, Southern Border King, the guilty has been executed, this matter is resolved!"
The elder withdrew his hand and spoke indifferently.
Watching the elder's swift actions, Southern Border King even forgot his anger, his mouth slightly agape, filled with disbelief!
Himself, the mighty Southern Border King, the plot against him by Li Zhiyuan taken so lightly by these three elders?
Even if they were in cahoots, there was no need to be so blatant!
At that moment, Southern Border King regretted, regretted that he had hastily invited the three elders out of retirement upon awakening.
Originally, he thought that with his greatly diminished strength, having the three elders would help him assert control, but it turned out they were the most undermining!
It was easy to invite these venerable elders out of their rural retreat, but sending them back would be difficult!
Even if Southern Border King was somewhat dull, with what these three impostor kings had done, he could clearly see the situation before him!
Feeling helpless, he could only cast a pleading look towards Ye Ling, who sat in the corner.
