Chapter 125 The Arrogant Pretender King

After the Southern Border King was seriously injured and disappeared.

Many people across the Southern Border, relying on their powerful strength, rose in rebellion.

They amassed a number of strong individuals and declared themselves kings over territories!

As soon as the Southern Border King had announced his closed-door cultivation, turmoil erupted across the region.

At that time, within the Southern Border, various pseudo-kings committed atrocities and dominated, while the Wo Country cast covetous eyes on the situation.

The Southern Border army, in order to deter the Wo Country, simply couldn't spare the forces to deal with these pseudo-kings, which made these imposters even more rampant.

However, vast as the Southern Border might be, it was ultimately finite, and the pseudo-kings eventually fought amongst themselves.

From over a dozen pseudo-kings battling it out, in the end, only eight remained!

The entire Southern Border—apart from a few military strongholds of the Southern Border army and some domains controlled by factions—was divided up among these eight pseudo-kings.

The eight pseudo-kings were: Jade Mountain King, Tianling King, Medicine King, Heng He King, Hidden Qi King, Moto King, Green Willow King, and Colin King!

Each of these eight pseudo-kings had numerous powerful followers, including themselves who were all Great Grandmaster level powerhouses, which is why they were able to survive the original slaughter among the pseudo-kings and become the final victors.

At this moment, aside from Jade Mountain King, Tianling King, and Medicine King, the other five pseudo-kings had already gathered at the Southern Border army's main camp.

The five of them sat laid-back in the council hall, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Border King.

More than ten minutes later, Wang Tiezhu and the other three commanders were the first to enter the council hall.

Upon seeing Wang Tiezhu and the others, the five pseudo-kings also slowly opened their eyes.

They brazenly sized up Wang Tiezhu and his group, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Wang Tiezhu and his companions, however, simply ignored their gazes, and after entering the council hall, they found seats and sat down.

"We five are guests invited by the Southern Border King, and you four mere commanders of the Southern Border army also presume to sit as equals with us?"

The burly Heng He King looked unfavorably at Wang Tiezhu and his group, and said coldly. Explore more stories with empire

Wang Tiezhu glanced at him and spoke with equal coldness, "This is the main camp of the Southern Border army, not the domain of you pseudo-kings!"

"How can we, the leaders of the four main corps of the Southern Border army, not be entitled to sit here?"

Heng He King's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Having self-proclaimed as kings, in his mind, he was an equal to the Southern Border King!

Now that the Southern Border King hadn't appeared for some time, and the four commanders of the army entered the council hall and sat down right away.

Such an attitude from the Southern Border King naturally irked Heng He King!

"Alright, alright, Heng He King, just calm down. This place is, after all, the domain of the Southern Border army, and we should restrain ourselves somewhat,"

said Hidden Qi King, who was sitting beside Heng He King.

On hearing this, Heng He King snorted coldly but no longer found fault with Wang Tiezhu and his party.

Then Hidden Qi King looked at Wang Tiezhu and, with a smile, asked, "Commander Wang, I've heard that Miyamoto Musashi, the number one swordsman of the Wo Country, visited here half a month ago?"

Wang Tiezhu glanced at him and nodded.

It was impossible to hide such a thing; the five sitting here, though they were pseudo-kings, also had their means and connections throughout the Southern Border.

The matter of Miyamoto Musashi challenging the strong ones of the Southern Border army had already passed half a month, and it was normal for these pseudo-kings to receive such news.

"I heard that Miyamoto Musashi once declared to the public that he wouldn't leave seclusion until he became a 'War King'."

"Now that he has personally come to the Southern Border army's main camp, I suppose he has stepped into the legendary realm of the War King, right?"

Hidden Qi King continued with a laugh, not show any irritation at Wang Tiezhu's attitude.

At this, the other four pseudo-kings turned their attention to Wang Tiezhu and his group.

This concerns a King Zhan strength wielder, so naturally they had to pay some extra attention.

Wang Tiezhu continued nodding, unperturbed, without concealing anything about Miyamoto Musashi's affairs.

Seeing this, a grave look appeared in the eyes of the Hidden Qi King and the others.

Suddenly, Heng He spoke up, "This king is quite curious, how did Miyamoto Musashi, having stepped into the legendary realm of King Zhan, suffer defeat and retreat from the Southern Border?"

"Could it be that within this great military camp of the Southern Border there lies another King Zhan strength wielder?"

Hearing this, the faces of several pretender kings turned serious, their gazes fixed on Wang Tiezhu and his group, trying to discern any useful information from their expressions.

If there truly was a King Zhan strength wielder in the Southern Border army, then the days ahead for these pretender kings would not be easy.

"Heh, this is a matter concerning our Southern Border army, and has nothing to do with you all, right?"

Wang Tiezhu let out a cold laugh, speaking with an indifferent tone.

The pretender kings all showed angry expressions, their eyes harboring a hint of murderous intent.

Yet the Hidden Qi King spoke with a light laugh, "This king has heard that the one who defeated Miyamoto Musashi is the Northern Liao King, not someone from your Southern Border army!"

"Wasn't the Northern Liao King imprisoned in a dungeon? How come he's now lively and bouncing around in the Southern Border?"

Wang Tiezhu and his group did not speak again, nor did they look at the Hidden Qi King and the others.

Though the Hidden Qi King and his party were angry, they did not continue to make a fool of themselves and turned their heads away, not questioning Wang Tiezhu and his group further.

Another half hour passed, and still there was no sign of the Southern Border King.

"Bang!"

A dull sound echoed in the council hall; it was Heng He slapping the armrest of his chair.

With an unhappy face, he said, "The Southern Border King truly has quite the arrogance!"

"This king has been waiting here for nearly an hour, and yet he has not shown himself!"

"He said there was something important to discuss with us, but this king thinks he's just taking us for a ride!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures walked into the council hall from outside.

The two men were none other than He Feng and Chen Dao.

Now that Ye Ling and the Southern Border King had left seclusion, they had been ordered by Ye Ling to come to the council hall ahead of time.

As for Ye Jiu, he continued to stay in the villa, ensuring Su Rou's safety.

"Who are you, to dare speak so brazenly within the great military camp of the Southern Border army!"

Chen Dao, staring at Heng He, spoke in a cold voice.

Heng He's brows shot up, his expression growing unpleasant as he looked at Chen Dao and retorted coldly, "Pray tell, if this king is to be questioned, who might you be?"

"Heh, I only know that in the Southern Border, there is but one king, the Southern Border King. You dare to call yourself 'this king', which suggests that you are one of those so-called pretender kings, right?"

He Feng, standing to the side, chuckled lightly and spoke up.

Hearing himself referred to as a 'pretender king' by He Feng, Heng He's face became even more somber.

Fixated on He Feng, with killing intent wafting around him, he then said coldly, "How bold! You are the first in the Southern Border to dare call this king a pretender king!"

"What nonsense, even daring to be so insolent here!"

Chen Dao's brows lifted, ready to clash with Heng He at a moment's notice.

Just then, from outside the council hall, suddenly came a voice, "Northern Liao King, Southern Border King has arrived!"
