CHAPTER 489 THE WAR
Pacifying the Disturbance
After laughing out loud, Ouyang Ba took the lead and walked into the copper palace that welcomed the guests.
Looking at Ouyang Ba's back, Ning Yue frowned, not knowing what he was up to.
"Humph!"
Beside him, Ouyang Hai fiercely glared at Ning Yue and Feng Zi, before following behind Ouyang Ba toward the Copper Palace.
Tie Sheng and Bao Ming followed Ouyang Hai closely, one on the left and one on the right.
Tie Sheng and Bao Ming still remembered the fear of being dominated by Feng Zi. Let them stay here?
What a joke, they wanted to live longer.
"Ning Yue, are we going in?"
Feng Zi asked after Ouyang Hai and the others disappeared from his sight.
Ning Yue pondered for a while, then said, "Go in and listen to my instructions later. Don't act recklessly without my permission."
As he spoke, Ning Yue glanced at Li Tongtian, then walked into the Welcoming Copper Hall.
However, Ning Yue paused for a while beside Lu Wei, then said in a low voice beside Lu Wei's ear, "If there's any danger, go into the storage ring immediately."
After saying this, Ning Yue didn't hesitate any longer and strode into the copper hall that welcomed guests.
"Ning Yue has advanced to the peak of the True Martial Realm. It seems like the one day and night of cultivation in Ice Mansion helped him a lot."
Li Tongtian fixed his eyes on Ning Yue with a solemn expression.
In fact, when Ning Yue appeared, Li Tongtian was surprised, because he found out that Ning Yue had advanced to the peak of the True Martial Realm.
During the one day and night of cultivation in Ice Mansion, Li Tongtian only stabilized his cultivation and did not even advance to the Half-step Yin-Yang Realm. On the other hand, Ning Yue had advanced to the peak of the True Martial Realm. How could he not be surprised?
"This time, Ouyang Ba is hosting another banquet, he will definitely show his fox tail. I have to be careful."
Li Tongtian didn't linger for too long in front of the copper hall. He quickly entered the hall.
At the moment, a huge rectangular table was placed in the copper palace, with Ouyang Ba sitting at the head of the table.
Ouyang Hai naturally sat on the second seat on the left of Ouyang Ba. As for Ning Yue, he hesitated for a moment before sitting at the end of the table.
"Ning Yue, come and sit here."
However, as soon as Ning Yue sat down, Ouyang Ba pointed at the first seat on his left and said with a smile, "You're the star of this banquet, how can you be so far away from me?"
Whoosh!
As soon as the words left Ouyang Ba's mouth, Ouyang Hai's expression changed tremendously, turning slightly pale.
Ouyang Hai was very clear about the weight of the first seat on the left of Ouyang Ba!
In the past, Ouyang Ba had invited the young experts of the capital to a banquet, but the first seat on his left had always been empty.
In Ouyang Ba's words, those who couldn't match up to his younger self were not worthy to sit in that seat.
Now that Ouyang Ba had asked Ning Yue to sit there, doesn't that mean that Ning Yue is on par with him when he was younger?
Upon having this thought, Ouyang Hai could not help but gasp.
Ouyang Ba was extremely powerful when he was younger, and was known as the ruler of the younger generation of the Great Xia Kingdom. No one in the same generation could match him!
"Ning Yue can't be allowed to live!" Ouyang Hai clenched his fists tightly, as an evil thought arose in his mind. After the banquet, he would hire someone to kill Ning Yue with a huge sum of money! To get rid of his greatest threat.
"Li Tongtian, don't just stand there, come and sit here." Following this, Ouyang Ba pointed at the first seat on his right and said with a smile when he saw Li Tongtian who had just entered the hall.
"I'll do as you say."
Ning Yue did not hesitate and immediately sat on the first seat on Ouyang Ba's left, sitting right next to Ouyang Hai.
Seeing that Ning Yue had sat down, Li Tongtian no longer had any reservations and sat on the first seat on Ouyang Ba's right.
Behind Li Tongtian, Feng Zi and Lu Wei sat down too.
"Cough cough, I don't want to say too much. The reason why I've gathered all of you here is because I have something important to announce."
After everyone had taken their seats, Ouyang Ba let out a dry cough and said, "West Mountain City is in chaos and I've decided to send Hai 'er to quell it."
"As I thought!"
Ouyang Hai's expression changed slightly. Even though he had heard the news before, his heart still skipped a beat.
Xishan City was an extremely chaotic place. The powers within were complicated, and even a few of the powerful families in the capital were involved in it.
Quell the chaos in West Mountain City?
Not to mention sending Ouyang Hai, even if they sent a late stage Yin Yang Realm martial artist over, they wouldn't dare to say that they would be able to quell the unrest!
Although Ouyang Hai was unwilling, he still stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice, "Father, I'll do my best!"
"Of course, it's just that …"
Ouyang Ba waved his hand, before his gaze slowly swept across the crowd, before finally stopping at Ning Yue.
"West Mountain City is rather chaotic. With your strength, it will be hard to quell the chaos. Therefore, I've found you another helper." After a slight pause, Ouyang Ba continued, "Ning Yue, a few bandits have appeared in West Mountain City. Why don't you go with Hai 'er?"
"The fox's tail is finally showing!"
Ning Yue's eyes narrowed as his heart was in turmoil.
Ning Yue had heard of West Mountain City before. It was the most remote city in the Great Xia Kingdom and was extremely far away from the capital.
Throughout the dynasties, West Mountain City had always been the destination of some frustrated princes.
At the same time, West Mountain City was also the most chaotic place. The forces there were complicated and if one wasn't strong enough, going there would be no difference from suicide.
There was once an early-stage Yin-Yang Realm martial artist who went to West Mountain City. On the second day, everyone found him hanging on the city wall with his head chopped off.
Since then, West Mountain City had become a place of exile.
"Your Majesty, I have yet to report to Danwu College after returning to the capital. How about we talk about West Mountain City after I come out from Danwu College?" Ning Yue said after a slight hesitation.
Dong! Dong! Dong …
As soon as Ning Yue finished his words, Ouyang Ba did not reply immediately. Instead, he reached out his finger and gently knocked on the table.
The rhythm of Ouyang Ba knocking on the table was very slow, so slow that it was maddening.
In the main hall, Ouyang Hai and the others held their breaths and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
On the other hand, Ning Yue remained expressionless as he sat on the chair and waited quietly.
"It's not impossible to talk about it after you come out from Danwu College."
After a full three minutes, Ouyang Ba finally spoke.
"The matter in West Mountain City is rather urgent. We can't delay it any longer. How about this, let Hai 'er and Lu Wei go there first. As for you, you can stay in the capital for a period of time. It won't be too late to go there after you're done with your work."
Swish!
As soon as Ouyang Ba finished his words, Ning Yue's expression turned completely gloomy.
Let Lu Wei and the others go to West Mountain City with Ouyang Hai? This was no different from sending Lu Wei to her death!
