The Monarch's Request
Ye Fei was speechless. He was not a three-year-old child. How could he not understand what the Monarch of the Northern Ocean Kingdom wanted to express?
To put it simply, the relationship between the Northern Ocean Kingdom and the Northern Ocean Kingdom, or rather, the relationship between the Northern Ocean Kingdom and the Taixuan Holy Land, was a relationship where the Northern Ocean Kingdom flourished and the Taixuan Holy Land suffered together.
Due to the agreement, the Northern Ocean Kingdom would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Northern Ocean Kingdom, such as the competition between the Eighteen Kingdoms of the North Sea and the battle between the Taixuan Holy Land and the Heavenly Yin Sect.
However, if other external forces were involved, such as the other kingdoms of the Northern Region, the Northern Ocean Kingdom would not tolerate any family that wanted to occupy the Northern Ocean Kingdom and establish their own forces.
Firstly, the Northern Ocean Kingdom was a part of the Northern Ocean Kingdom. Secondly, no monarch would tolerate an enemy establishing their forces in their heartland.
Now, Ye Fei understood that it was because of the colossal Beiyang Kingdom that sheltered the North Sea from the wind and rain that allowed the weak North Sea to be peaceful for thousands of years without experiencing much war.
However, there was one thing that Ye Fei did not quite understand. Why would the Monarch of the Northern Ocean Kingdom suddenly say that the Northern Ocean Kingdom would perish if the Northern Ocean Kingdom perished?
Could it be that … even a powerful kingdom like the Northern Ocean Kingdom would perish one day? Ye Fei's face involuntarily revealed a look of shock.
The Monarch of the Northern Ocean Kingdom saw the change in Ye Fei's expression and sighed heavily. "Ye Fei, it seems that you have understood. That's right. I am telling you all this because I am afraid that the Northern Ocean Kingdom will not be able to hold on for long and may perish."
"Perish? How is that possible? Your Majesty is in the prime of your life and is a Wu Jun expert. Who in the Northern Region would dare to cause trouble for Your Majesty?" Ye Fei was shocked.
The Monarch of the Northern Ocean Kingdom suddenly coughed violently. He did not need to pretend in front of Ye Fei. Wisps of black aura came out of his nostrils.
The aura was extremely evil. It was so evil that Ye Fei felt a chill run down his spine and his entire body trembled. At this moment, Ye Fei finally understood why the Monarch of the Northern Ocean Kingdom said such a thing.
"Your Majesty, are you injured?" Ye Fei couldn't help but have a look of fear on his face. To be able to make the powerful Wu Jun experts reveal a sickly black aura, "Could it be that the experts from the other three countries have joined forces to attack His Majesty?"
"No, it's not them. One of them is only an accomplice. The one who truly injured me is another terrifying expert. Even now, I still can't find out who that person is and what his realm is." A shocking blood-red flame suddenly ignited on the Northern Ocean Monarch's body.
Ye Fei knew that it was the Northern Ocean King's own Qi and blood. As it turned out, he had been burning his own blood essence to suppress the black gas in his body.
"This black gas is very strange. It cannot be eliminated, but it can continuously devour my life essence blood. Once my essence blood is exhausted, it will be the time for me to die."
The Northern Ocean King spat out another mouthful of black blood. With great difficulty, he managed to suppress the black gas that he had released. Then, he looked at Ye Fei with bright eyes.
Ye Fei also looked at the Northern Ocean King with a serious expression. He knew that this was probably the Northern Ocean King's greatest secret. Even if he didn't ask, the Northern Ocean King would definitely tell him.
As for the reason, Ye Fei still didn't know, and he didn't need to know. He only knew one thing, and that was that if the lips were gone, the teeth would be interdependent!
Once the Northern Ocean King died from his injuries, the Northern Ocean Kingdom would lose the suppression of Wu Jun experts. The other three countries would definitely not let go of this opportunity to divide the Northern Ocean Kingdom. And once the Northern Ocean Kingdom was destroyed, the Northern Ocean Kingdom would be next.
Even though the Northern Ocean Kingdom has the Sword Maniac Elder, the Old Master Jian has only recently stepped onto the path of a Sword Saint. At most, he is only at the first realm of Wu Jun. Compared to the Monarchs of the other three countries, the Old Master Jian might not be a match for them even if he has a sacred weapon.
Ye Fei thought to himself. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He was also from the Northern Ocean Kingdom. Naturally, he didn't want the flames of war in the Northern Region to spread to the Northern Ocean Kingdom.
After stabilizing his injuries, the Northern Ocean King continued, "Of course, Ye Fei, you don't have to worry too much. After so many years, although I haven't found the enemy who plotted against me, I have finally found a way to neutralize the black aura in my body. However, I am powerless with this method. I need a true young prodigy to be able to help me.
"Originally, I thought highly of Lin Tianjiao. However, this person isn't from the Northern Ocean Kingdom. I was also worried that once I revealed this secret to him, not only would I not be able to help, but I would also attract the greed of the other three Monarchs. That was until I met you. "
The Northern Ocean King suddenly looked at Ye Fei with some excitement. "Your strength and talent are enough to rival a Northern Region prodigy like Lin Tianjiao. If it's you, Ye Fei, tell me, do you have the confidence to enter the Heaven Forsaken Land and help me find the sacred bone of a Martial Saint?"
The sacred bone of a Martial Saint?
Ye Fei's heart skipped a beat. He was no longer a martial arts newbie. Of course, he knew what a sacred bone was. It was just like how a Martial King expert would leave behind a Talent Crystal before they died.
It was highly possible for an Omnipotent Grand Sage expert to leave behind a sacred bone after death. This sacred bone also contained the Martial Saint's lifetime understanding of the Divine Path. It was incomparably precious.
Ye Fei had never imagined that the Northern Ocean King would actually ask him to search for such an item.
"Why me? Monarch, won't you be more confident if you go yourself? Or let the Four Heavenly Kings go instead, "Ye Fei asked, puzzled.
The Northern Ocean King was even more puzzled. He looked at Ye Fei with a strange expression and asked, "Why? Didn't your master tell you what the Heaven Forsaken Land is?"
"My master?" Ye Fei was shocked. Could it be that the King of the Northern Ocean Kingdom knew something? Ye Fei looked up and saw the King of the Northern Ocean Kingdom looking at Ye Fei meaningfully.
However, the Northern Ocean King did not force Ye Fei to admit that he was the Martial Monarch's disciple. When he saw that Ye Fei's shock did not seem to be fake, he immediately said in a deep voice, "The Heaven Forsaken Land is the most unique place in our Northern Region. It is said that it was once the Ancient Era. Our Northern Region even has a trace of inheritance left behind by the strongest sect in the entire Tianwu Continent.
"To enter the Heaven Forsaken Land, there is an extremely harsh condition. That is, one must be a young genius below the age of 30 and above the Martial King realm. Only then can one enter the Heaven Forsaken Land and obtain the Ancient Era's inheritance. Do you think that I don't want to go? It's because I can't go at all."
The King of the Northern Ocean Kingdom smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Fei expectantly. Ye Fei was immediately depressed. He understood that he had to help this time.
After all, the Northern Ocean King had already given him countless benefits. He had also clearly stated the strong relationship between the Northern Ocean and the Northern Ocean. If he did not think of a way to help the Northern Ocean King recover from his injuries, once the Northern Ocean King died and the Northern Ocean King was destroyed, the Northern Ocean King would immediately be drawn into the flames of war and disputes.
He could ignore the lives of others, but the Taixuan Holy Land's foundation was in the Northern Ocean. The Family Ye's foundation was also in the Northern Ocean. No matter what, Ye Fei did not wish to see his family and friends die in the chaos of war.
