Ye Fan also sensed Xu Xiao's presence in the room and opened his eyes!
Xu Xiao was taken aback, then quickly bowed respectfully and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Xu Xiao thanks the Martial Saint for his guidance!"
At this moment, he worshipped Ye Fan beyond measure, wishing he could worship him as a god!
Seeing Xu Xiao's current state, Ye Fan was surprised: "What is the Northern Cold King doing? I can't possibly be worthy of the title of Martial Saint?"
Xu Xiao felt ashamed upon hearing this, and smiled wryly. How could he have forgotten that the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm disliked such a title? He had forgotten in his excitement and didn't know what to do!
Ye Fan spoke!
"King of Northern Cold, have you come here because you've thought things through?"
Xu Xiao sighed inwardly upon hearing Ye Fan's words.
"Sigh, I've figured it out."
"My daughter is not worthy!"
After Xu Xiao finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee.
Ye Fan looked embarrassed and asked the Northern King, who was kneeling at the drop of a hat, "Northern King, what is this all about?"
Xu Xiao said with a serious and respectful expression, "Young Master Ye, you have shown me and my daughter the kindness of being reborn. We must repay you! Bei Han will always be your most loyal subject..."
"The dragon riders of the Northern Frost are at your command, young master!"
After Xu Xiao finished speaking, Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.
What does this mean? Voluntarily following me?
Who would have thought that Xu Xiao would surrender without saying a word?
...............
Upon hearing Xu Xiao's words, all the major forces in the Chu Gate System who witnessed this scene gasped in shock!
The King of Northern Cold actually swore allegiance to Ye Fan?!
How can this be?
The leaders of those major powers were all greatly shocked; they couldn't understand why such a situation had occurred!
Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Cold, is a powerful and ruthless figure of his time, having slaughtered millions!
How could he possibly voluntarily seek refuge with someone else?
This scene shocked countless people!
…………
Wu Liuding, from the Wu Family Sword Tomb, stared at his brother-in-law Xu Xiao in astonishment, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Xu Xiao actually knelt down and even declared his allegiance to Ye Fan!
This is simply unbelievable!
Who is Xu Xiao?
The mighty King of the North!
In the eyes of these ancient martial arts forces, he was an absolutely invincible figure!
But at this moment, Xu Xiao knelt down, and he was kneeling in submission to Ye Fan... What exactly did he want to do?
All of this is because Ye Fan is a Martial Saint among mortals!
…………
"The King of Northern Cold is incredibly audacious, actually leading the Northern Cold and Great Snow Dragon Riders to pay homage to the mountain. This is probably going to cause a huge uproar!"
Does he really submit willingly?
After all, Xu Xiao's ambitions were enormous.
This is a powerful and ruthless man; how could he be controlled by others?
However, everyone could see that Xu Xiao was sincere; otherwise, he would not have given up the Northern Cold and Great Snow Dragon Riders that he had created with his own hands.
The Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Dragon Guard Manor was shocked, stunned, and astonished upon hearing Xu Xiao's words!
Dozens of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Finally, he shook his head and laughed, "The Northern Cold King has truly played a clever game. In this way, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm will take you in and even help you soar to great heights!"
"In this way, your position will be secure, and even the Li Yang royal family will not dare to do anything to you. You may even be able to turn the tables and check the royal family one day and become the true ruler!"
This Iron-Blooded Marquis saw things very clearly; Xu Xiao wanted to rise to power by relying on Ye Fan as his backer!
In this way, he can get what he wants without leaving Beihan, which is extremely clever!
Iron-Blooded Marquis was full of amazement. He himself did not have the courage of the Northern Cold King. He truly deserved to be called a hero!
.........
When Zhao Li of the Li Yang royal family heard Xu Xiao declare his allegiance to Ye Fan, his face turned ashen!
This news infuriated him, but he was powerless to stop it!
How could Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Cold, a man of such illustrious reputation, possibly tolerate being subservient to someone else?
Zhao Li gritted his teeth: "You, Xu Xiao, are you really going to betray me?"
He was furious. He wanted the Northern Cold Lands and had long planned to reclaim them after Xu Xiao's death. After all, his son was an extremely spoiled brat, and it would be a good thing if he could inherit the Northern Cold Lands.
After all, it's still under my control!
But who would have thought that Xu Xiao would actually submit to Ye Fan? How could he agree to that?
This is a complete slap in the face to him!
Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang was furious!
But at this point, he was at a loss. He couldn't very well go and fight Ye Fan to the death, could he?
Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang could only suppress his resentment for the time being and wait for an opportunity (Ma Li's)!
…………
Inside Snow Moon City, Baili Dongjun and Situ Changfeng were playing chess when they heard Xu Xiao's words and were both shocked!
"So instead of marrying off his daughter, he's surrendering?" Situ Changfeng was taken aback, clearly not expecting the change to happen so quickly, which caught him off guard!
Baili Dongjun looked at the image in the void with a mixture of amusement and exasperation!
Situ Changfeng frowned slightly: "No matter what, the allegiance of Bei Han is another matter. Xu Xiao actually wants to pledge allegiance to Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm!"
"This Northern Cold King Xu Xiao is as crazy as ever!" Baili Dongjun sighed.
"The Northern Cold King's decision is indeed crazy, but Ye Fan is also really powerful. It hasn't been long before the Northern Cold King has the potential to break through to the first rank. Isn't Ye Fan too heaven-defying?"
"Haha! This is the potential that a Martial Saint should possess!" Baili Dongjun laughed heartily. "Although Bei Han is strong, he is still far from being a Martial Saint! King Bei Han has made the right move. In the future, he may make the whole world tremble!"
Situ Changfeng looked into the void and nodded, "The Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm is indeed terrifying!"
"It seems I've lost this round!" Baili Dongjun sighed. "This time, you've won!"
Situ Changfeng also laughed and said, "Between you and me, there has never been a clear winner! You lost to the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then did not continue playing chess.
The major powers were utterly shocked; it seemed the Northern Cold King's move was about to reshape the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing political landscape, destiny, and overall situation).
Chapter 105 Ye Fan's appearance interrupted Li Yang's plan!
Inside the Imperial Study of Liyang Palace, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, staring at the man standing at the head of the table, not daring to utter a sound.
The man was dressed in a black python robe and wore a crown befitting the emperor. His eyes were icy cold, making anyone who looked at him tremble! But at this moment, his face was filled with rage!
With a wave of his hand, he swept all the memorials, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones off the table in front of him onto the floor…
It crashed to the ground with a thud, and everyone held their breath!
The man, radiating boundless rage, roared at the crowd, "Does Prince Xu Xiao of the Northern Cold intend to provoke me with his actions?"
The sound was so loud it seemed to shake the entire imperial study. Everyone was startled and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down... Your Majesty, please calm down!" As they spoke, the court officials were already covered in sweat.
The man seated on the dragon throne was none other than Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang, who was currently enraged—no, he was in a state of utter fury…
After taking a few deep breaths, he demanded of the kneeling courtiers, "Tell me, what is the purpose of the Northern Cold King's actions?"
After speaking, Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang stared at Xu Xiao's irritating old face from the Chumen System with a gloomy expression. He wished he could chop this bastard into ten pieces and feed him to the dogs, but for now he could only suppress his anger and roar in fury from afar...
He then turned his gaze to the officials below him, his tone filled with anger, and said through gritted teeth, "Tell me, does the King of Northern Cold truly intend to betray Li Yang?"
"Zhang Cheng X slip skirt※：⑧√∞⒌崎∽□liu/，liu three"×4 indigo orifice chijian play General Gu, what is your opinion on the Northern Cold King's defection to the Human Martial Saint?" Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang was full of anger!
Zhang Julu glanced meaningfully at the Chumen System and Xu Xiao said with concern, "Your Majesty, it must be because Xu Xiao discovered that the Li Yang royal family wanted to take action against him that he so decisively chose to join the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm."
"Hmph!" Emperor Li Yang was even angrier upon hearing this, but he had no way to refute it, because it was indeed the truth.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please don't be so angry!" Zhang Julu quickly tried to appease the emperor, seeing his anger.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? Now, countless forces already know what the Northern Cold King is doing. I will never allow him to be so blatant!" Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang roared.
At the same time, a look of regret appeared in his eyes!
"Damn it! I truly regret not getting rid of that traitor, the Prince of Beihan, sooner!!" Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang clenched his fists, his whole body erupting in fury.
"Your Majesty, please do not be alarmed. Since the King of Northern Han is so presumptuous, I request permission to lead troops to punish him!"
