"Since the lord is willing to spare you once, consider this punch a thing of the past,"
Gao Quan looked at the two with cold eyes and spoke.
Each of them received a punch on Tie Xiao and Leng Kuang's bodies; despite the loud sound, it didn't inflict any harm on either of them.
With Gao Quan's strength at the level of the Imperial Dao, killing these two who only had the strength of a Battle King would have been effortless.
However, he didn't use any strength because naturally, he didn't want to trouble Tie Xiao and Leng Kuang.
"Damn it, you two beasts actually dared to betray the lord!"
"If it weren't for the lord's willingness to forgive you, I would have killed you myself today!"
Chen Dao's murderous intent surged as he spoke with an unpleasant look on his face.
Aguza also gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! It was a mistake to have entrusted the royal court to you two in the first place!"
"You hid it pretty well; if I'd known earlier that you had betrayed the lord, I would've led the War Bears into the royal court long ago to take your damned lives!"
Facing the scolding of these forr brothers, Tie Xiao and Leng Kuang simply bore it in silence, without a word of retort.
Having betrayed Ye Ling, they were already fortunate not to be dead; there was no point in rebutting the angry words of Chen Dao and the others.
"Alright, the lord has said it himself, who doesn't make mistakes from ti to ti."
"Being able to recognize and correct a fault is what truly matters."
Gao Quan slightly frowned and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dao and the others fell silent, although their gazes towards Tie Xiao and Leng Kuang were still unfriendly.
The Northern Liao Army valued strength above all else!
Even though Gao Quan only commanded the sixth legion, with his own strength at the Imperial Dao level, naturally, he could subdue Chen Dao and the others with just a few words.
"Give the Blood Dragon Banner!"
Just then, Ye Ling's voice suddenly ca through.
Aguza did not hesitate and imdiately tossed the Blood Dragon Banner in his hand towards Ye Ling.
The Blood Dragon Banner fluttered midair, the blood-colored divine dragon on it seed to co to life, swaying with the wind.
Ye Ling reached out to catch the Blood Dragon Banner, then turned to Xiao Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, how comfortable have you been, playing the fake Northern Liao King while I was away?"
"You..."
Before Xiao Yun could speak, he was already stunned into silence by what Ye Ling did next.
A layer of golden light surged around Ye Ling, quickly solidifying and slowly taking the form of a divine dragon!
The Imperial Dao realm allowed one to externalize their qi, which could take on countless forms!
The divine dragon ford from Ye Ling's qi coiled behind him, its hollow dragon eyes gazing at Xiao Yun.
Even without eyeballs, Xiao Yun felt a bone-piercing murderous intent and coldness.
Ye Ling placed the Blood Dragon Banner in the mouth of the divine dragon, then whispered, "Go, tell the world who truly owns Northern Liao!"
"Roar!"
The divine dragon roared with the Blood Dragon Banner in its mouth, and faintly, a dragon's cry seed to emit.
Then the qi-ford divine dragon soared into the sky, circling and tumbling, with the Blood Dragon Banner fluttering in the wind. The blood dragon on the banner swayed with the wind, as if it had also co to life.
A wild aura emanated from the qi-ford divine dragon, suppressing everything.
Under this aura, even those with the strength of the Imperial Dao felt a pressure on their chest.
"Ye Ling, this guy, has actually reached such a level of strength..."
Zhang Xiulan murmured in a low voice.
Beside her, Zhan Qing's eyes were fixed intently on Ye Ling, clad in black, as if there were stars twinkling in her gaze.
"I always knew Senior Brother was the strongest..."
"People in the little village all say I'm a prodigy without equal, but compared to Senior Brother, what am I?" Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire
Zhan Qing stretched her mouth into a wide smile, her face full of laughter.
Gao Quan also wore a broad smile, laughing loudly as he said, "The Lord is the goal we pursue all our lives, Xiao Yun is but dust on the ground compared to the Lord!"
"Ridiculous, he actually thought that by relying on the influence of the Xiao family in the imperial capital, he could take control of Northern Liao, hahaha!"
Chen Dao and the others also burst into loud laughter, the only ones with bitter smiles on their faces were Tie Xiao and Leng Kuang.
Leaders of the other major legions of the Northern Liao army had been waiting from the beginning to the end for Ye Ling, the king's return, and they had always believed that Ye Ling would reclaim everything that belonged to him.
Only those two wavered halfway, thinking that Ye Ling, after three years in prison, would consequently lose his drive.
Now, seeing Ye Ling's overwhelming presence, they realized just how laughable their previous thoughts had been.
How could Ye Ling, a figure like a dragon from the heavens, possibly be defeated by a re three years of prison?
"Boom!"
The energy dragon, with the Blood Dragon flag in its mouth, charged towards Thousand Blade Peak. Its massive body collided with Thousand Blade Peak, emitting a thunderous roar.
No one took their eyes off the energy dragon for even a mont.
The Blood Dragon flag was hung on a towering ancient tree at the peak of Thousand Blade Peak, fluttering in the wind!
That blood-red dragon seed to be watching Xiao Yun and the others, mocking their lack of self-reliance.
"Roar!"
The energy dragon let out a dragon chant and then returned to Ye Ling's side, transforming into energy and re-entering Ye Ling's body.
Ye Ling's gaze shifted from the Blood Dragon flag atop Thousand Blade Peak and landed back on Xiao Yun.
"Today's battle will determine the ruler of Northern Liao."
"The victor will be the ruler of Northern Liao, the loser... dies!"
Ye Ling's expression was indifferent, his words brimming with murderous intent.
Xiao Yun's body trembled, his eyes full of fear.
He had envisioned ten thousand scenarios for eting Ye Ling, but never one like the scene before his eyes.
Ye Ling's strength exceeded his imagination, and so did the strength of the people Ye Ling brought with him.
"Xiao Yun, you are not worthy of laying a finger on the land of Northern Liao!"
"If you know what's good for you, roll back to the imperial capital and play the role of the pampered Xiao family heir, otherwise be careful of losing your life in Northern Liao!"
Gao Quan also laughed as he spoke, his words dripping with sarcasm.
Xiao Yun's complexion changed slightly, his fists clenched so tightly that even his fingernails dug into his palms without him noticing.
Trickles of fresh, crimson blood seeped from Xiao Yun's palms, dripping onto the snow beneath his feet, leaving splashes of deep red on the pure white snow.
"Young Master, although Ye Ling and his people are very strong, there's no need to worry too much,"
"Three royal realm powerhouses have co from Thousand Mile Peak, likely retainers from several other families in the imperial capital..."
Sensing the change in Xiao Yun's mindset, Tie Quan hurriedly spoke in a low voice.
At these words, Xiao Yun's gaze flickered, and the fear in his eyes toward Ye Ling instantly dissipated, replaced by a fierce gleam.
He abruptly raised his head to look at Ye Ling and through gritted teeth said, "Ye Ling, you haven't set foot in Northern Liao for three years, are you so certain it's still the sa Northern Liao as before?"
"Is that so? Then why don't you tell , when did my Northern Liao change?"
Ye Ling's lips curved into a smile as he glanced towards the distant Thousand Autumns Peak.
If Tie Quan could notice, how could Ye Ling, who was even stronger, possibly fail to notice?
