Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 150 The Extremely Arrogant Lord of the Tiannan Region

Fifteen days blinked by.

Because the King's Order had been issued, from the third day of receiving the order, the Southern Territory Lords started to arrive one after another. By the fourteenth day, several Lords had already reached the Southern Territory Base Camp.

The Lords of the Nine Domains of the Southern Territory usually wouldn't stay at the Base Camp unless there was nothing else to do, and they only gathered there for discussions of serious military and national matters.

However, what shocked and infuriated Sima Zhantian and Xiao Chuanqi was that the King's Order had been issued, and even after the fifteenth day—the deadline—had passed, three of the Lords of the Nine Domains still hadn't followed the order to appear. To them, this was simply unimaginable.

Had this been the Northern Border, after the Northern King issued a King's Order for the Twelve Banners' Flag Leaders to come to the Base Camp for a meeting, by the next day, all twelve of them would have arrived on time without fail, unless they had extremely compelling reasons not to.

Because this was the King's Order!

Yet in the Southern Territory, there were actually several Lords who had failed to show up—this was truly inconceivable!

Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but sneer, "Indeed, throughout these years, with the Southern Territory showing weakness, each Lord of the Nine Domains has harbored their own scheming thoughts. Today proves it beyond a doubt!"

Xia Lengchan said with a wry smile, "Not just the Lords of the Nine Domains, even the leaders below them all have their own little calculations. Otherwise, when the Northern King descended upon the Southern Territory, people like Yang Bugui wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant."

Sima Zhantian humphed, "In the Northern Border, no matter what the Lords think, I would've chopped their bloody heads off right away! And just look at those who have arrived; each one of them is so damn insufferably arrogant. If this were the Northern Border, I'd definitely beat them down!"

Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but laugh, "Calm your rage. This is the Southern Territory, not our Northern Border. Besides, I noticed that the Lords who arrived all have masters by their side, and among them are those with strength not inferior to ours. We must not act rashly. Let's wait for our Lord to finish his seclusion!"

On the morning of the fifteenth day, the Lords who had arrived were already impatient, sitting in the council hall, waiting all morning without seeing the King of the Southern Territory show up. They even started to curse out loud.

"Damn it, we were summoned here ten days ago with talk of discussing important military matters. Now, I've been waiting for ten whole days and still haven't caught sight of a single shadow of Dugu Ming. What kind of farce is this? Are they playing us for fools?"

One burly middle-aged man cursed loudly, his voice bold and full of brash arrogance.

When Sima Zhantian saw this, he became furious and couldn't help but want to burst into the council hall.

Xia Lengchan stopped him with a hand, speaking softly, "Brother Sima, please stay calm. This guy is the Lord of the Tiannan Region, stationed at the crucial Tiannan Seaport, so his status is no small matter. His own strength is considerable, and he's brought two Supreme Masters with him. We mustn't act recklessly!"

Sima Zhantian's eyes widened with anger as he shouted, "So what if he's brought two Supreme Masters? Am I supposed to be afraid of him?"

Xia Lengchan tried to console him with a bitter smile, "Brother Sima's martial arts are unparalleled, and of course, you don't fear a mere Lord of the Tiannan Region. But this place is after all the Southern Territory, and Brother Sima is the leader of the Northern Border Legion. If any conflict breaks out, we would be in the wrong."

Just then, the Lord of the Tiannan Region in the council hall suddenly stood up, hands on hips in the center of the hall, pointing outside as he bellowed, "Someone come here, get me a breath of fresh air. Damn it, just waiting here is killing me with boredom, bring two women here to lighten my mood!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhantian, consumed with rage, cursed out loud, "Damn it, he really thinks this place is his Tiannan Region's headquarters. I'm going to put him in his place!"

With that, he brushed off Xia Lengchan's hand and stormed off. When this man got angry, only Ye Feng could calm him down; no one else could hold him back.

Sima Zhantian stepped into the great hall and pointed at the Lord of Tiannan Region, roaring, "Shut your damn mouth, this is the Base Camp's Council Hall of the Southern Territory, not your backyard in the Tiannan Region!"

The Lord of Tiannan Region must also have been hot-tempered; how could he tolerate this? He became furious, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Son of a bitch, who the hell do you think you are, daring to yell at me? Are you tired of living?"

As he spoke, the Lord of Tiannan Region waved towards the two Supreme Masters behind him and commanded, "You two, get over here, first tear this bastard's stinking mouth, then break both of his dog legs for me and throw him out!"

Those two masters immediately emerged, but Sima Zhantian, having experienced the battlefield of life and death, how could he possibly be afraid? Instead of retreating, he advanced, striding forward two steps.

"This is really bad!"

Xia Lengchan and Zhuge Yu rushed in upon seeing this and hastily tried to mediate, "Please stay calm, Lord of Tiannan Region, we shouldn't create a scene here at the Base Camp of the Southern Territory; it's not appropriate."

The other Lords just sat there, watching with cold eyes, filled with arrogance. As Lords of the Nine Domains, each of them dominated their own regions, where they were like kings in their domains.

The Lord of Tiannan Region thought for a moment, then waved his hand at his two masters, temporarily stopping them, and scoffed, "Fine, for the sake of the Southern King, I won't bother beating him up. But you all need to give me a reason. And this dog, what's his status, daring to yell in front of me?

He has the audacity to disrespect me; make him kneel immediately and kowtow to apologize, then we'll let this go!"

Xia Lengchan could only give a wry smile and said, "Lord of Tiannan Region, truth be told, this brother Sima Zhantian is a Legion Commander under the Northern King, and his position is not low either."

"Under the Northern King? So he's not even from the Southern Territory? When the hell did our Base Camp here in the Southern Territory start taking orders from people from other regions?" the Lord of Tiannan Region grew even angrier after hearing this.

At that moment, another sitting Lord added with an odd tone, "Really, a Legion Commander from the Northern Border daring to be disrespectful to our Lords of the Southern Region; isn't that too presumptuous and disrespectful to us here?"

"Exactly!"

The Lord of Tiannan Region stood with hands on hips again, pointing at Sima Zhantian's nose and said, "This is the Base Camp of the Southern Territory; it's not your place, people from the Northern Border, to issue commands here. Get the hell out immediately, and before you do, kneel down and admit your error. Did you hear me, kneel down!"

"How presumptuous!"

At this point, Xiao Chuanqi also got angry, stepping forward in a rage, bellowing, "Such arrogance, daring to ask our Legion Commander from the Northern Border Army to kneel, where do you get your confidence? I'll have you know, the King's Order from fifteen days ago was issued jointly by our Northern King and your Southern King.

In other words, we, as Legion Commanders from the Northern Border, also have enough qualification and reason to stand here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Lords present burst into laughter, filled with mockery and disdain.

"Damn it, wasn't I clear enough, or are all your ears deaf? This is the Base Camp of the Southern Territory; I don't care about your Northern King, Western King, or Eastern King!"

The Lord of Tiannan Region, with his mouth wide open, said word by word, "Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake right now, otherwise, I'll have my followers paralyze you both. Do you believe me or not?"

"Try it if you've got the guts!" Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian promptly stood their ground.

Your next chapter awaits on empire

"Good, do it, cripple them both for me!" The Lord of Tiannan Region gestured vehemently, and the two followers lunged forward.

However, just at that moment, a resounding voice suddenly came from outside, "The Southern King and the Northern King have arrived!"
