Yun Che's words caused the hall to fall into deathly silence in an instant, and everyone's face suddenly changed, some were shocked and some were terrified.
Fang Zhou has been the Protector of Donghan for nearly a thousand years. His reputation in Donghan is extremely high, on par with that of the King of Donghan. At the same time, he is also extremely arrogant. Few people in Donghan have not been treated badly by him, whether they are from a large or small sect or aristocratic family.
However, as the only guardian god king of Donghan Kingdom, he does have the capital and qualifications to be arrogant. No one dares to offend him. Even the Lord of Donghan Kingdom, even in public, will show respect and even flattery, not to mention the princes and princesses.
This time, when Donghan Royal City was facing a catastrophe, Fang Zhou rushed back at the last moment and saved Donghan Royal City from despair. This feat is not an exaggeration to call it "saving the country". After Tianwu Kingdom withdrew its troops, the King of Donghan Kingdom bowed to Fang Zhou...his waist was almost bent into a right angle.
It is conceivable that after today, his reputation in Donghan Country will be even more prosperous.
At this time, Princess Nineteen brought back another God King! This God King not only accepted Princess Nineteen's invitation, but also did not refuse the invitation of the Lord of Donghan to the banquet, and had the intention of entering Donghan Kingdom.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for the Donghan Kingdom. As the Donghan National Master, Fang Zhou, the Protector of the Nation who has just made great achievements, with his temperament and style of doing things, he would give this new God King, who is obviously much weaker than him, a warning. In the eyes of everyone present, it is not surprising.
However, what they never expected was that this "first-level God King" mentioned by Fang Zhou would say such a shocking statement.
As a powerful God King, he should have the pride that belongs to a God King... or arrogance. No one will ridicule the arrogance of the strong, because they have the qualifications to do so, but this is for the strong. When the strong face someone stronger, arrogance is stupidity.
Yun Che's origins were mysterious, his aura was filled with an uncomfortable chill, and he remained silent throughout the entire process. No one dared to comment on these things, but when faced with Fang Zhou's protest, he refused to agree... It would have been fine if he had remained silent, but he actually dared to speak back and insulted him! ?
Fang Zhou's expression did not change much, only his eyes narrowed slightly. The cold light reflected from his eyes made everyone feel as if a cold blade was passing by their throat.
Princess Han Wei, who was beside Yun Che, had a drastic change of expression. She stood up abruptly and said in a hurry, “Senior Yun has a dull personality and has never liked to socialize with others. I just declined the offer from the Imperial Master and had no other intentions. Please don’t blame me, Imperial Master.”
The Donghan Crown Prince who was sitting at the top of the table suddenly stood up and glared at Yun Che. Fang Zhou was the Protector of Donghan Country. If he wanted to keep his position as Crown Prince, he had to get Fang Zhou's support. In the future, he would also have to rely on Fang Zhou to inherit the throne. Now someone actually dared to insult him. How could he just sit there and watch... This was also a great opportunity to win over, or curry favor with Fang Zhou.
“Asshole…”
As soon as he said these two words, a louder voice several times louder than his own rang out: "Asshole! You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"
It was the King of Donghan who shouted loudly. The Donghan Crown Prince's voice was stuck. He looked into his father's cold eyes and suddenly reacted, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He was so focused on winning over Fang Zhou that he almost forgot that Yun Che was also a Divine King!
Even if a God King is not as good as Fang Zhou, how could he commit a crime? ?
He lowered his head quickly, his voice suddenly weakened by seven points: "Tenth... Nineteenth sister's words just now were impolite, I think... Father... Father is scolding me."
After speaking incoherently, Prince Donghan sat down and dared not say any more.
The Lord of Donghan Kingdom turned his gaze, and his originally stern face suddenly became full of peace. He laughed loudly and said, "The realm of God Kings is something we dare not reach in our lifetime. We can only look up to them and admire them. But we also know that at the level of God Kings, we should have the arrogance and pride to look down on the heavens and the earth. Today, although the two God Kings only said a few words, we have experienced the power and pride of God Kings so closely. It can be said that we have broadened our horizons and are amazed."
"We are so lucky to be able to sit at the table with the two Divine Kings." The Lord of Donghan turned around and raised the golden cup high: "We will use this cup to toast the two Divine Kings!"
The words of the Lord of Donghan immediately eased the atmosphere, and everyone raised their glasses and stood up to toast each other.
"Haha," Fang Zhou's face faded slightly, he picked up the wine cup, faced the crowd... including the Lord of Donghan who stood up to show respect, but he did not stand up, and still sat in that obviously casual posture: "Well, I have seen countless arrogant and rude people in my life, so how can I bother to compare myself to him."
He tilted his eyes and shook the wine cup towards Yun Che: “Please.”
This time, Yun Che no longer remained silent. The corners of his lips moved slightly… as if he was showing a faint smile, but no trace of smile could be detected. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
“Hahahaha!” Fang Zhou and Yun Che both gave him face as the king. The Donghan king’s laughter became much more hearty: “Today, the national teacher displayed his divine power and forced Tianwu to retreat. He also had an honorable guest like Yun Zun. It can be said that this is a double blessing.”
"As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Although today's disaster has slightly shaken my bones, it has greatly boosted people's morale. With the National Master in charge, my Donghan is unshakable. From today on, this king will work hard to govern the country. With the National Master's assistance, the prosperity of Donghan in the past will reappear. It is not an illusion!"
In this battle with Tianwu, the King of Donghan became more aware of how terrible the gap in levels was. They had fought many times before, with both sides winning and losing. But this time, Fang Zhou was not in the royal city, and Tianwu had the help of the God King of Taiyin Divine Mansion, and they, Donghan, were defeated in an instant.
That’s right, as powerful as the God King is, even if there are only one or two of them, they can easily control a huge battlefield.
The gap at this level cannot be easily made up by quantity.
This celebration banquet was centered around Fang Zhou, and the King of Donghan kept glancing at Yun Che, thinking about how to keep him.
In addition, he also thought of Mingpeng Mountain.
It was common knowledge that Young Master Ming Peng had always coveted the Nineteenth Princess Dongfang Hanwei.
Dongfang Hanwei was his most beloved daughter. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, she was also recognized as the most beautiful woman in Donghan Country. Her talent in the profound way was unmatched among her many children. Therefore, if Dongfang Hanwei was unwilling, even if she was Young Master Mingpeng, he would politely refuse.
But this time, facing the Tianwu Kingdom which had the support of Taiyin Divine Mansion, his mindset had to change.
The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated in the royal city, but the celebration banquet in the main hall was becoming more and more lively. All the nobles and clan leaders were rushing to Fang Zhou. They were the overlords in their own world, but in front of Fang Zhou... they were so humble and flattering that they almost wanted to kneel on the ground to show their respect.
And because of Fang Zhou's previous "confrontation" with Yun Che, no one dared to approach Yun Che... otherwise, wouldn't that offend Fang Zhou?
Both are Divine Kings, one is the Protector of the Nation and the other is of unknown origin, and Fang Zhou is obviously stronger than Yun Che, so it is obvious what choice to make.
“Senior Yun,” Dongfang Hanwei approached Yun Che’s seat and bowed respectfully, “I cannot repay you for saving my life. Please stay in the royal city for a while. Although Donghan is not a rich country, if you have any request, my father and I will do our best.”
Yun Che closed his eyes slightly, did not pick up the wine cup, and suddenly said coldly: "Watch your words."
Dongfang Hanwei was startled, and hurriedly said, "Junior... I know I was wrong, please give me some advice, senior."
“I’m not much older than you.” Yun Che crossed his arms across his chest, wondering what he was thinking.
“…” Dongfang Hanwei opened her lips… He was only a few years older than her, so he must be about half a century old?
Not to mention half a century old, a God King of a century old is unheard of, and even the upper star realm is absolutely impossible to exist. Dongfang Hanwei thought he was joking, so she could only cooperate with him and smile a little stiffly: "Senior... you are joking. How dare Hanwei lose respect in front of you."
Yun Che did not respond, but just glanced slightly towards the outside of the hall.
“Report!!”
A loud, panicked roar came from far outside the hall, followed by a soldier in light armor rushing over and kneeling in front of the hall.
The Lord of Donghan frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Reporting to the Lord, the Tianwu Kingdom... the Tianwu Kingdom has returned, and now their troops are close to 50 miles away!"
"What!" Everyone in the hall stood up in shock.
The Lord of Donghan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers do you have?"
"About five thousand."
"...Five thousand?" This number shocked the King of Donghan and everyone else.
"Haha," Fang Zhou stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked down slowly: "A mere 5,000 soldiers are obviously not for war, but for peace. This city has the national master in charge, I don't think he has the courage to attack again... Is this army led by the Lord of Tianwu himself?"
"yes."
"As expected." Fang Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go, Master, go meet them in person."
Fang Zhou's words made everyone's tense nerves relax at once, and smiles appeared on their faces. For a moment, the sound of applauding horses surged in and out.
"That's right! With the Imperial Master in charge of the Royal City, how can the Tianwu Kingdom be shaken?"
"The so-called Taiyin Divine Mansion becoming the Tianwu Protectorate Sect is simply nonsense."
"The Imperial Master is not only the pillar of Donghan, but his contributions will be recorded in the history of Donghan forever..."
Fang Zhou had long been accustomed to these sounds of praise and adulation. He put his hands behind his back and walked out of the hall with a smile on his face. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he was in front of the Lord of Donghan when he left the hall, and he did not even glance in Yun Che's direction.
Dongfang Hanwei said to Yun Che: “Senior, would you like to take a break? If you don’t mind…”
Yun Che stood up at this moment and said calmly, “Let’s go and watch a show.”
…………
Outside the Donghan King City, the Tianwu Kingdom’s troops arrived.
There were indeed only 5,000 soldiers, but before the army formation was the Lord of Tianwu State in person. Beside him was the God King of Tianwu State Protector who also had a great reputation in Tianwu State... Bai Pengzhou!
In front of the royal city, the Donghan Kingdom’s army array was deployed in a mighty force. The overlords of all fields of Donghan were all present, and their momentum far overwhelmed that of the Tianwu Kingdom.
Bai Pengzhou was a second-level God King, weaker than Fang Zhou. But as he watched Fang Zhou walk out, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Tianwu, Fellow Daoist Bai, you came back in such a hurry, it seems you have something to say." Fang Zhou raised his eyes and said proudly.
The Lord of Donghan was beside him, and he was the first to speak... Although the Lord of Donghan had long been accustomed to Fang Zhou's arrogance, his face still looked ugly for a moment at this moment when the two armies were facing each other, but he immediately returned to normal and took a step forward and said: "Lord Tianwu, if you want to fight, I, Donghan, will accompany you to the end. If you want peace, it depends on your sincerity."
After hearing what the Lord of Donghan said, Lord Tianwu and Bai Pengzhou laughed at the same time. Lord Tianwu said with a smile: "The reason why I left and came back is not for war, nor for peace, but... to give you Donghan a chance, and it is also the last chance."
"What do you mean?" The face of the King of Donghan Kingdom darkened. Looking at the face of the King of Tianwu Kingdom, his previous certainty quickly turned into uneasiness.
"It's very simple," the Lord of Tianwu said with a smile, "From today on, let this Donghan Kingdom become Donghan County of my Tianwu Kingdom. This way, I will not have to kill anyone, and you can all save your lives and property. I can also grant you the title of King of Donghan County... Dongfang Zhuo, will you choose to kneel down and thank me, or will you foolishly struggle?"
Dongfang Zhuo is the name of the Lord of Donghan Kingdom.
The words of Lord Tianwu made everyone look gloomy, but Fang Zhou laughed out loud. He slowly stepped forward, staring at Lord Tianwu with the pressure of a God King in his eyes: "Lord Tianwu, I am very curious, who gave you the confidence to speak so arrogantly."
He stretched out his hand, with his palm facing the Lord of Tianwu. "At this distance, it will be easy for Fang to kill you, and Bai Pengzhou won't be able to save you either... By then, you won't even be able to have a good dream, I'm afraid."
"Really?" There was no fear on the face of the Tianwu King. He did not shrink behind Bai Pengzhou. Instead, he showed a strange smile.
"Fang Zhou, you are so majestic."
A low and cold voice suddenly came from the rear of the army.
This was a woman's voice. Upon hearing this voice, Fang Zhou's face suddenly froze. When he saw the figure slowly approaching, his pupils suddenly shrank and he said in a lost voice: "Fairy Zi... Fairy Zixuan!"
