Meeting the King
"Brat, listen up. When you meet the King, you must be respectful. If you offend the King, I will be the first to skin you alive. Hmph!"
The Northern Heavenly King led Ye Fei to the King's chambers. His face was black and white, white and black. He gritted his teeth, and his attitude was completely different from before.
Ye Fei also obediently followed behind without saying a word, but in his heart, he was very depressed. Who asked him to use up the Saint Grade Spirit Spring in just three days' time?
Even though the real culprit was not him but the little girl hiding in the beast mark, Ye Fei still had to take the blame.
On the other hand, the Northern Heavenly King was able to hold back his anger even though he had suffered such a heavy loss. He only glared at Ye Fei coldly. This was already considered magnanimous.
"However, it's really strange. Xiao Cao absorbed so much spiritual energy, but why didn't she change at all? Apart from eating, she slept. I didn't see her increase her strength at all. Or maybe she's different from us human martial artists, so there's no classification of realms?"
Ye Fei pondered as he walked. Soon, he was shocked by a majestic aura. Needless to say, this aura could only be emitted by a titled martial artist, Wu Jun.
At this point, the Northern Heavenly King was also shocked. He whispered to Ye Fei, "Don't make a ruckus. His Majesty is cultivating. We'll come back later."
Just as the Northern Heavenly King was about to bring Ye Fei back, the King of the Northern Ocean Kingdom was alarmed. He said with a hint of surprise, "Beigong, you let Ye Fei finish cultivating so quickly?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want this brat to cultivate. It's just that the spirit spring has been completely absorbed by him." The Northern Heavenly King's expression was very ugly.
"Completely absorbed?" The Northern Ocean King's face twitched. Fortunately, they were separated by a room, so no one could see the change in his expression. "Let him in then."
Ye Fei's expression turned ugly. Judging from the Northern Ocean King's tone, he didn't know if he was angry or not. However, since they were already here, they had no choice but to enter.
He had no choice but to brace himself and walk in. He bowed to a king who was wearing a dragon robe and exuded a solemn aura. "Ye Fei greets the King of the Northern Ocean!"
The Northern Heavenly King said, "Damn it! You should address him as' Your Majesty '!"
"It's fine!"
The Northern Heavenly King didn't mind how Ye Fei addressed him. The Northern Heavenly King then left speechlessly. The Northern Heavenly King looked at Ye Fei and didn't finish his sentence. He just sized up Ye Fei.
Ye Fei didn't mind the Northern Ocean King's gaze. Instead, he looked straight at the Northern Ocean King calmly and said, "Is there something that you need me to do for you?"
"How did you know that I have something that I need you to do?" The Northern Ocean King was very surprised. He didn't expect Ye Fei to react so quickly.
Ye Fei pursed his lips and thought to himself, "One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. You asked me to enter the national treasury and soak in the spirit spring. If the Earth Roll rewards me like this every time, no matter how many treasures there are in the national treasury, they won't be able to withstand the consumption." Of course, he couldn't say this out loud.
"I guessed," Ye Fei said casually.
"…"
The Northern Ocean King looked deeply at Ye Fei and suddenly changed the topic. He asked, "Ye Fei, let me ask you. What's the difference between the Northern Ocean and my Northern Ocean?"
"The difference is like heaven and earth!" Ye Fei said helplessly. He had no choice. Although there were many countries in the Northern Ocean, the combined strength of all the countries was only equivalent to a large prefecture in the Northern Ocean.
The difference was extraordinarily huge.
This was also the reason why Sword Maniac Elder had insisted that Ye Fei come to the Northern Ocean. Only by truly leaving the Northern Ocean could he broaden his horizons.
"Then do you know why my Northern Ocean has never annexed the Northern Ocean?" the Northern Ocean King asked again. This question stumped Ye Fei.
Indeed, the Northern Ocean was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Northern Ocean. Although the Northern Ocean had the Heavenly Yin Sect and the Taixuan Sacred Ground, they were still weak compared to the Northern Ocean.
Logically speaking, it should be very easy for the Northern Ocean to annex the 18 countries in the Northern Ocean. Why hadn't the Northern Ocean Kingdom done so?
"Your Majesty, please enlighten me," Ye Fei said seriously. Ye Fei's attitude was very serious. He could faintly sense that the Northern Ocean King had summoned him for more than just an audience.
The Northern Ocean King nodded. "Alright, I'll explain it to you. Do you know that a thousand years ago, the first Taixuan Sacred Lord came from the royal family of the Northern Ocean? In the end, he even fought to the death for the royal family!"
"What? The first Sacred Lord was actually a member of the royal family of the Northern Ocean?" Ye Fei was shocked. However, this was not impossible.
Because the first Sacred Lord's name was Zhu Jun. And the royal family of the Northern Ocean Kingdom also had the surname Zhu.
"If that's the case, why did the first Sacred Lord go to the Northern Ocean to establish a sacred ground? Isn't it better to stay in the Northern Ocean Kingdom?" Ye Fei was puzzled.
A bitter smile appeared on the Northern Ocean King's face. "As a descendant, I can't comment on the actions of my ancestors. I don't know if you've heard of the saying that a country can't have two kings."
"Isn't this saying that a mountain can't have two tigers?" Ye Fei's expression was a little strange. He finally understood why the first Sacred Lord left the Northern Ocean Kingdom.
"A mountain can't have two tigers? It's a very apt metaphor. Basically, the situation is like this. Whether it's my ancestors or the first Sacred Lord of your sacred ground, they were all amazing talents. They became Martial Kings at the same time and became Wu Jun at the same time. Such geniuses would be a good thing in any family. But in the royal family, it's a headache. After all, there's only one throne. "
The Northern Ocean King took out a scroll and passed it to Ye Fei. "In the end, the two ancestors fought. They agreed that whoever lost would leave the Northern Ocean. The battle ended with the first Sacred Lord's defeat. So, he went to the most remote place in the Northern Ocean and established the Taixuan Sacred Ground! Before he left, he signed an agreement with my ancestors. As long as the sacred ground didn't fall, the Northern Ocean Kingdom couldn't annex the Northern Ocean. "
Ye Fei finally understood why the Northern Ocean Kingdom, which was so weak, didn't send troops to occupy it. Instead, it allowed the Northern Ocean Kingdom to send warriors to participate in the Heaven and Earth Supreme ranking contest. The reason was because of this.
However …
"Your Majesty, why are you telling me this?" Ye Fei had a feeling that the Northern Ocean King wasn't telling him this simply to get closer to him.
"Ye Fei, you're a smart person. I won't beat around the bush. I'm telling you this because I want you to know how important the Northern Ocean Kingdom is to the Northern Ocean. Ever since the first Sacred Lord died in battle for my ancestors, the Northern Ocean Kingdom has been taking care of and protecting the Northern Ocean for the past thousand years.
"As long as the Northern Ocean Kingdom exists, no power in the Northern Region will dare to openly attack the Northern Ocean. But if the Northern Ocean Kingdom doesn't exist one day, even if the Sword Maniac becomes a Sword Sage, he won't be able to protect the Northern Ocean from being invaded by the Northern Ocean Kingdom.
