His reaction just now was indeed a bit too extreme.

After all, this news practically wiped out all her previous advantages!

Most importantly, this is simply unrealistic!

The North has no reason to do this!

Gritting his teeth and suppressing the unease in his heart, Xiao Wenyong looked at the Imperial Guards and said in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Why would the Northern Kingdom do this?"

I need you, give me a reason!

The Imperial Guards were unaware of the argument that Xiao Wenyong and Xiao Rujun had just had.

Upon hearing this, he quickly looked at Xiao Wenyong and respectfully said, "Reporting to Prince Yong, the Northern Kingdom originally agreed to the River God's request for cooperation."

But at the crucial moment, the Holy Maiden of the Northern Ice River Cult suddenly appeared, claiming that the River God's men had lured her away and then insulted her, and even... she was almost violated!

He was rescued by a powerful figure from the Dragon Kingdom who happened to be passing by!

This news shocked the northern lands!

The ruler of the Northern Kingdom also announced on the spot that they would be enemies of the River God for eternity!

Therefore, many people in the Northern Kingdom expressed their support for the Dragon Kingdom to kill the River God!

Others expressed gratitude for the Dragon Kingdom's powerful warriors rescuing the Northern Kingdom's Holy Maiden! They felt that the two countries should temporarily cease hostilities!

The entire venue immediately fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, speechless.

All of this... feels like a dream!

If it hadn't actually happened, I doubt anyone would believe it!

Xiao Wenyong couldn't help but ask, "What a coincidence! Who is that powerful figure who saved the Holy Maiden of the Northern Kingdom? Do you have any information about him?"

"Yes!" The imperial guard nodded vigorously. "According to the Holy Maiden of the Northern Kingdom, Bei Wanning, this person is named Wang Hao!"
