245: Good people don't come

The elder Foreign Race standing on the stage was one of the ten great royal families of the Foreign Race, and the most senior one.

His words immediately caused a huge uproar among all the Myriad Races present.

“I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Devouring Heaven God of the Snake Gall Tribe, and Rakshasa God of the Rakshasa Tribe, they’re both dead?”

The Myriad Races discussed animatedly, no one daring to believe that two of their Gods had been killed by the Human Race.

“Hmph.”

The white-haired Foreign Race royal family member snorted and said, “And that’s not all.”

“The Giant God of the Giant Stone Race also lost contact a few days ago.” The Myriad Races were once again plunged into extreme shock.

How could this be? Who had the ability to continuously kill three of their Gods?

The Human Rebellion Quelling Army?

“Could it be Yang Wuji, the God of Wuji City, who did it?”

“Even if it was him, I heard that the Snake Gall Tribe and the Rakshasa Tribe joined forces to set up defenses in the Myriad Race Mountain Range, with two Gods. Could Yang Wuji really fight two on one?”

The discussions among the Myriad Races grew louder again; they couldn't understand how two Gods could die one after another.

The royal family member coughed and once again released a bombshell.

“The one leading the Rebellion Suppression Army is Ye Kong!”

The entire Myriad Race Valley immediately fell into a dead silence.

As soon as the name Ye Kong came out, everyone fell silent.

“What do you mean? Is it that Ye Kong?”

“Ye Kong, the number one on the Myriad Race’s Must-Kill List?”

“Precisely!”

“According to intelligence, Ye Kong is at the Peak Honored One Realm, already a quasi-God, but regarding his detailed situation, we only know that he controls Asura Power and Great Path Divine Lightning.”

A young Foreign Race Revered One stood up and said, “So what if it’s that Ye Kong? He’s only at the Honored One Realm. Can he defeat a God?”

There was another period of silence.

Due to the scarcity of information related to Ye Kong and the many unanswered questions, none of the Foreign Races could definitively say that Ye Kong was the one who killed the three Gods.

They could only confirm that Yang Wuji was definitely involved.

“Does it matter who killed the Gods of the Snake Gall Tribe and the Rakshasa Tribe?”

“The fact that our Myriad Races have lost three Gods consecutively is the key point. What is the current power comparison between us and the Human Race?”

Another Foreign Race member rose to speak.

But another Foreign Race member was displeased.

“It was called for back then that when the Human Rebellion Quelling Army invaded, we should have united to repel the enemy, but now we’ve ended up in such a situation.”

“Damn it, wasn’t it the Crimson Serpent Clan who said they feared nothing?”

“How dare you, what does that have to do with you!”

The various tribes in the Myriad Race Valley immediately started arguing, shifting blame to each other.

Just then, a God’s aura emanated, intending to stop the argument.

Everyone instantly became silent as cicadas in winter.

The elder said, “Everyone, there’s no need to worry too much. Not everyone in the Human Race obeys the Emperor, and the outcome of victory or defeat is still unknown.”

“Next, all of you must unite and restore the glory of our Foreign Race!”

The next day, Ye Kong led the Human Rebellion Quelling Army to the border of the Dragon Kingdom. Going further would take them into the Great Qing Kingdom.

Crown Prince Wang Jian of the Dragon Kingdom had already sent someone to wait at the border.

“General Ye, this is a letter the Crown Prince ordered me to give you. Please take a look, General.”

Ye Kong dismounted to receive the letter from the envoy, opening it to read.

“Letter to General Who Suppresses Rebellion Ye Kong: I have learned that General Ye is coming to the capital to assist the Emperor. I dare not obstruct you. As previously agreed, I have gathered brave warriors and assembled them in the Land of the Gods, temporarily under the command of Shao Jue for training.”

“I hope the General will take great care on this journey. If the matter fails and you become enemies with the great aristocratic families, the General may return to the Dragon Kingdom, and I swear to protect him.”

“Written personally by Crown Prince Wang Jian of the Dragon Kingdom.”

Ye Kong nodded, understanding Wang Jian’s intentions.

“Envoy, please report back to the Crown Prince that I, Ye Kong, will definitely return alive. Thank you for the Crown Prince’s concern.”

The envoy bid farewell to Ye Kong and left the place.

“Continue forward!”

The troops continued north towards the imperial capital, entering the territory of the Great Qing Kingdom.

However, not long after entering the Great Qing Kingdom, they saw several soldiers blocking the middle of the road.

At the head was an officer.

Wen Gan gestured with his chin to a soldier, and one immediately stepped forward to negotiate.

After a while, the soldier returned.

“General Ye, General Wen, they say they are soldiers from Xiao Jie City of the Great Qing Kingdom, ordered by the local aristocratic Siyu Clan to invite General Ye into the city for a discussion.”

“They said they want to host a banquet for the General.”

Ye Kong looked somewhat puzzled and said, “Just let them come over and speak directly.”

Soon, several soldiers from Xiao Jie City came before Ye Kong.

The soldiers from Xiao Jie City said, “General Ye, we are acting on orders. Please, General, come into the city for a discussion. The Siyu Clan’s family head has already prepared a banquet and invites General Ye to take his seat.”

Ye Kong asked, “A banquet? What about my soldiers? Can they enter the city to rest?”

The soldiers exchanged glances and said, “He only invited General Ye; the Rebellion Suppression Army can wait outside the city...”

Upon hearing this, Ye Kong narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was amiss.

“Tell the Siyu Clan to come speak with me, otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss.” The soldiers were a bit at a loss and had no choice but to return.

Wen Gan said to Ye Kong, “General Ye, since the Siyu Clan has good intentions, you might as well enter the city for the banquet. We can wait here.”

“After all, we are passing through this area, so it’s best not to offend the host.”

Ye Kong nodded and said, “If he truly has good intentions, I would naturally be willing to attend the banquet. But is it really that difficult to let my army enter the city to rest?”

“Speaking of which, does this Xiao Jie City not have a City Lord? Why do the soldiers listen to the Siyu Clan?”

Wen Gan said, “General Ye, you may not know this, but many cities now, except for the imperial capital, are mostly controlled by local aristocratic families. If it’s a God Family, then even more so.”

“After all, with a God in charge, how could a City Lord dare to disobey?”

Ye Kong asked, “Could this Siyu Clan also be a God Family?”

Wen Gan shook his head and said, “When we came from the imperial capital, we didn’t sense any God’s aura in Xiao Jie City.”

After a long while, a strong individual from the Siyu Clan flew out and landed in front of Ye Kong and the others.

“Greetings, General Who Suppresses Rebellion.”

“Rise quickly! I heard from some soldiers that your family head wants to host a banquet for me?” The strong individual immediately said, “Precisely. Our family head has long admired General Ye’s great name and wishes to behold General Ye’s heroic demeanor.”

Ye Kong asked, “Does your family head know why I am heading north?”

The strong individual replied, “It is to go to the capital to assist the Emperor.”

“Then, is your family head willing to provide some manpower to support me in going to the capital?”

The strong individual’s expression flickered, then he smiled, “Our family head is, of course, willing! Not only will he provide manpower, but he also said he wants to help General Ye establish a great achievement!”

Ye Kong narrowed his eyes, looking directly at the strong individual from the Siyu Clan, and said, “I am going to the capital to assist the Emperor, and time is of the essence. I appreciate your family head’s intentions, but the banquet can be skipped. I must pass through quickly now, so please open the city gates and let us through.”

The strong individual’s expression immediately changed, appearing very awkward.

“General Ye, won’t you reconsider?”

Ye Kong shook his head, no longer paying attention to him, and spurred his horse.

“Rebellion Suppression Army, heed my command, continue forward!”
