King of Creation

Chapter 1913: Chapter 1898: Audacious as a Dog?

"Dare to threaten the garrison captain of Two-World City? What courage!" Eunuch Yua’s raspy voice carried a peculiar harshness as he picked up Ye Zhen’s city entry credentials.

"Oh, how important you are indeed! Just a tiny third-class Earl of North Sea and a mere West Patrol Wind Envoy, daring to cause a ruckus in our Two-World City. Truly audacious beyond belief."

The instant the words ’audacious’ were spoken, a cold glint flashed in Ye Zhen’s eyes. Then, Ye Zhen moved.

Ye Zhen’s speed was incredibly fast, and the crowd only felt a blur before Ye Zhen was standing in front of Eunuch Yua. Suddenly, Eunuch Yua screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

At this moment, two bloody teeth had just flown out from Eunuch Yua’s mouth, and the sound of a slap was only now echoing.

This scene immediately startled Captain Zhou and also startled the nearby stationed troops and the caravan.

In this Zhengyao Two Realm City, people causing trouble might exist, but there wasn’t even half a person daring to hit the garrison captain.

As for daring to hit a eunuch whom even the garrison captain would have to smile at, there was absolutely none.

"Daring to hit me! I see you want to rebel! Someone, quick, arrest him, arrest him..." Eunuch Yua hysterically screamed, leaking air, having been slapped in public and lost two teeth. He was utterly irrational.

Captain Zhou hesitated for a moment, then waved, and the five hundred stationed troops nearby immediately surrounded him. The Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows in their hands aimed straight at Ye Zhen.

Zhengyao Two Realm City was a strategic location, so the stationed officers here were all high-ranking, both in personnel and weaponry.

Ye Zhen glanced casually at Captain Zhou approaching and easily displayed his Token of the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy.

"Wind Patrol Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Department on official business. Let’s see who dares make a move!"

Ye Zhen’s angry shout immediately stunned Captain Zhou,

Captain Zhou was not foolish. Usually, he could cooperate with this eunuch to trouble someone a little, but if things got out of hand, that was unacceptable.

Especially since Ye Zhen’s identity was not something that could simply disappear.

"Quick, arrest this villain! What are you all standing around for..."

Bam!

Before Eunuch Yua could finish cursing, Ye Zhen kicked out, directly sending Eunuch Yua flying more than ten meters away, blood spraying from his mouth.

Ye Zhen’s face darkened as he slowly displayed the Seal as the third-class Earl of North Sea, pointing at the bleeding Eunuch Yua, cursing word by word, "My position as the third-class Earl of North Sea may be humble, but it was earned through slaying Demon Clan heads with my own hands. This is a military merit!

Do you dare, a mere eunuch, to insult me as audacious beyond belief?"

Beneath Ye Zhen’s imposing Killing Qi, and having been physically disciplined, Eunuch Yua was trembling all over, utterly speechless.

However, Ye Zhen’s word-by-word rebuke caused Captain Zhou and the Border Army surrounding him to react with respect.

Clearly, at their core, they agreed with Ye Zhen’s actions.

Though the Great Zhou Dynasty had its issues, the principle of valuing military merit above all had never changed, especially amidst the Border Army of Great Zhou, where passion still burned!

Among the Border Army encircling Ye Zhen, some even quietly adjusted the aim of their Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows.

Their gazes toward Ye Zhen changed as well.

Truth be told, these Border Army members could never stand Eunuch Yua’s domineering air, and seeing him punished now, though they said nothing, they found it quite thrilling inside.

Captain Zhou, however, was in a tough spot; the situation was beyond his capacity to manage.

Without further thought, Captain Zhou immediately reported the situation to his superior, as only his superior, the garrison commander of Zhengyao Two Realm City, could resolve this.

After all, the order to make things difficult for Ye Zhen came directly from the garrison commander of Zhengyao Two Realm City.

Ye Zhen still stood there, neither tall nor short, uncaring of the five hundred Flame Spirit Burst Demon Crossbows aimed at him.

With Ye Zhen’s speed, before these Border Army members could pull the trigger, Ye Zhen could easily use Wind Flash and Sweep to move miles away, escaping the focus of their fire.

Ye Zhen acted boldly not only to teach Eunuch Yua a lesson—how dare a eunuch be so arrogant, publicly insulting him.

If word got out, Ye Zhen’s reputation as an Earl and Wind Patrol Envoy would suffer.

Furthermore, Ye Zhen intended to draw out the person behind Eunuch Yua.

This small feud with Captain Zhou wasn’t worthwhile and wouldn’t lead anywhere.

Captain Zhou and his people wouldn’t dare truly offend Ye Zhen, nor would they defy the orders of those behind them. Ultimately, the situation would be left unresolved.

Ye Zhen was in no mood for dragging things out now.

And given the royal family behind the difficulties Ye Zhen faced, there was nothing more to say, as Ye Zhen had vaguely formed a hypothesis.

At the same moment, within the Guardian Mansion of Zhengyao Two Realm City, the garrison commander and Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan held a Jade Scroll and pondered.

"Hee Advisor, never expected Ye Zhen to be so fiery-tempered, injuring my chief eunuch, Eunuch Yua, without warning.

Tell me, should I use this opportunity to frame him as a rebel and eliminate him altogether? It would be a great relief for Brother Jia!" Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan said.

Hee Advisor, with a tuft of long beard beneath his chin, didn’t immediately respond to Marquis Kaiyuan’s suggestion, "General, Ye Zhen may be explosive yet composed; he only harmed Eunuch Yua and hasn’t acted further.

Clearly, he doesn’t want to give us such a chance."

"Doesn’t want to give us such a chance?"

Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan sneered, "Zhengyao Two Realm City is my domain. In my domain, disposing of a mere Earl is as easy as crushing an ant."

This morning, Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan received a report from Captain Zhou beneath him that a Wind Patrol Envoy named Ye Zhen aimed to travel to the Zhengyao Realm.

Given that the Heavenly Patrol Department oversees intelligence matters for the Great Zhou Dynasty, Captain Zhou sought advice from superiors about whether such travel was permissible.

Ultimately, the matter reached Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan, resulting in the current situation.

"The General speaks truth. If the General truly wishes to proceed this way, the matter must be executed swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly! No traces left behind.

However, from my perspective, the General proceeding this way would be somewhat risky.

This Ye Zhen is not merely an ordinary Wind Patrol Envoy; he’s recognized not only by the Grand Celestial Official but also has considerable renown in His Majesty’s court and holds a close relationship with Princess Changle.

If he were to die inexplicably in Zhengyao Two Realm City, even if there’s no evidence, it might not bode well for the Marquis and could invite trouble," Hee Advisor suggested, shifting the tone.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan paced and pondered again.

"Wise words from Hee Advisor; you’re correct! The Marquis has no need to invite trouble for himself due to a mere character.

Last time, when the branch temple of the Heavenly Temple was destroyed, he escaped unscathed, showing his substantial weight in His Majesty’s mind. Let’s allow him to survive a while longer."

At this, the Marquis squinted his eyes, "Nevertheless, Hee Advisor, even if we don’t kill him, can the Marquis openly let an enemy of Prince Lik’s lineage pass unhindered?

If word spreads, what would my brothers think of me? Up until now, Ji Jia partners with bald men from the Heavenly Temple.

Surely, you must allow me some venting of this anger?"

Hee Advisor chuckled, "General, the matter is simple."

"Ye Zhen wishes to use the Two-World Teleportation Formation to reach Zhengyao Realm; we won’t bother with his purpose, simply refusing passage, drawing things out indefinitely. Let’s see him grow furious!

Anyway, the regulations here—how they’re enforced—are entirely at the garrison commander’s discretion!"

At this, Hee Advisor added, "Moreover, from my observation, Ye Zhen seems anxious about reaching Zhengyao Realm. By dragging things out, we could certainly drive him into a frenzy!"

"Great, we’ll proceed as you suggested!" Marquis Kaiyuan Ji Guan laughed heartily.
