Xiao Yunlong looked at Wang Kezheng with a playful gaze and said word by word, "Do you think the old Dongyu King is still in your control?"
At this moment, surrounded by Wang Kezheng, four Yinming elders and the old butler were all glaring at Xiao Yunlong with predatory eyes. These five masters had unleashed their full power, and the entire hall was filled with a murderous aura, stirred by the wind.
Of course, the four guardian powerhouses of the Eastern Domain had also condensed their innate true essence in their hands. Once the opportunity arose, they would undoubtedly strike with lightning speed!
Wang Kezheng looked at Xiao Yunlong with cold eyes and sneered, "The King of the Eastern Domain is naturally in my hands. Don't worry, I haven't killed him, but I've locked him up. As long as I can leave, I promise not to harm a single hair on his head!"
The current King of the Eastern Domain was like a trump card. As long as he held this trump card, Wang Kezheng knew he wouldn't die!
"I know you've imprisoned the King of the Eastern Domain, and I also know you've locked him in a cave deep in the back mountain of the Eastern Domain camp!" Xiao Yunlong said.
A hint of panic flashed in Wang Kezheng's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and snorted, "So what if you guessed it? There are many caves in the back mountain, and the terrain is very complex. You won't be able to find him in a short time. But now, with just one command from me, the King of the Eastern Domain will surely die!"
"Is that so? Then you can try!" Xiao Yunlong's face was full of mockery.
Wang Kezheng knitted his brows, hesitating. He couldn't tell if what the other party said was true or false.
"Xiao, you're trying to bluff me. I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I be so easily scared!" Wang Kezheng roared.
Xiao Yunlong coldly chuckled, "Bluffing you? I'm sorry, I'm not that bored. I can even tell you that the real King of the Eastern Domain is on his way right now!"
"Absolutely impossible, Xiao. I'm saying this one last time. Are you going to let me pass or not? If you don't, I'll let the King of the Eastern Domain die!"
Wang Kezheng roared and took out his phone. He knew the current situation clearly and couldn't drag it out any longer. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. He had to leave as soon as possible.
However, Xiao Yunlong remained as if rooted to the spot, unmoving.
Seeing this, the Chief Guardian powerhouse couldn't help but advise, "Mr. Xiao, no matter what, the life of the King of the Eastern Domain is the most important. Let's let this guy leave for now and then make plans."
The corner of Xiao Yunlong's mouth curved slightly, and he said sternly, "I'll only say this: with me, Xiao Yunlong, here today, no one will dare to harm a single hair on the old King of the Eastern Domain!"
"Good, Xiao! If that's the case, then let's die together!"
Wang Kezheng roared, not only ordering the old butler to signal but also making a call himself.
Instantly, brilliant fireworks appeared in the sky above the Eastern Domain camp. This was likely the signal to attack.
These fireworks were launched simultaneously from several locations in the Eastern Domain camp, making it impossible to intercept.
"Next, I'll let you see how my men execute the King of the Eastern Domain. Xiao, your arrogance has killed the King of the Eastern Domain! You killed him!"
Wang Kezheng laughed wildly, his entire being almost deranged. Since the situation had already escalated, he might as well fight to the death. He still had five super powerhouses by his side. If they fought with all their might, there might still be a chance to escape.
Xiao Yunlong watched coldly, completely unmoved.
Wang Kezheng's call rang for a long time without an answer, making him even more frantic.
"Damn it, the fireworks have gone up. At such a critical moment, why aren't they answering?" Wang Kezheng said repeatedly.
"Stop wasting your breath. Your people have already gone to see King Yama. How can they answer your call!"
Suddenly, a hoarse and weak voice came through. Although hoarse, it faintly contained authority.
Everyone turned their heads abruptly and saw an old man with white hair, a withered and even pale face, wearing only a tattered, dirty single-piece garment, walking in slowly.
Behind the old man were Zhuge Wushuang and Tu Fu!
As for the two black-clothed men Xiao Yunlong had summoned from the imperial capital earlier, they likely didn't want to reveal their identities in such a situation, so they didn't appear!
Upon seeing this old man, everyone present erupted in an uproar, and the scene became chaotic.
Because this old man, who looked dirty and even somewhat disheveled, bore a striking resemblance to the King of the Eastern Domain who was slumped and weak on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone present understood. This thin old man in a single-piece garment was the real King of the Eastern Domain!
Of course, the most shocked person present was Wang Kezheng. He stared with wide eyes at the legitimate King of the Eastern Domain walking towards him, shaking his head repeatedly, "Impossible! No outsider could know about that place, nor could they find it. Xiao, what exactly is going on?"
With that, Wang Kezheng turned his head and glared at Xiao Yunlong with anger and unwillingness.
Xiao Yunlong softly snorted, "Wang Kezheng, do you really think that the night I dispatched them to Geek Island, sending them to Shanghai to search your Wang family was my last resort?"
Wang Kezheng was startled and blurted out, "I understand now! So you sent them to my Shanghai Wang family mansion as a diversion, to make me careless. In fact, you already knew that the King of the Eastern Domain was hidden by me in the cave in the back mountain of the camp!"
"Not only do I know that the King of the Eastern Domain was hidden by you in the cave in the back mountain, but I also know that you usually dispatch at least two Yinming elders to guard him, watching him closely without leaving his side. In that situation, my men could not have rescued the old King of the Eastern Domain safely from them!"
Xiao Yunlong said with a playful smile, and then continued, "That's why I decided to make a big scene. First, I took the opportunity to destroy your Shanghai Wang family, completely igniting your hatred and anger. Only then, when I returned to the camp, would you invite as many helpers as possible to kill me for revenge. The guards around the King of the Eastern Domain would relax their vigilance, and my men would have a chance to rescue him!"
As it turned out, things developed exactly as Xiao Yunlong had predicted.
Because there was only one Yinming elder left guarding the cave, it allowed the two black-clothed, masked men Xiao Yunlong had invited from the imperial capital to successfully rescue the King of the Eastern Domain!
It was only at this point that everyone fully understood that when Xiao Yunlong decided to attack Geek Island, he had already made a series of plans and carried out almost perfect deployments!
"As expected of the God of War, King Zhenbei! His strategic planning is truly terrifying!"
"Yes, his meticulous planning and far-reaching foresight, with tactics like beating the grass to startle the snake and luring the snake out of its hole, as well as crossing the river by feinting, it's truly one step after another, truly admirable!"
Many junior officers from the camp below sighed and couldn't help but praise.
"Wang Kezheng, what else do you have to say now?" Xiao Yunlong shouted coldly.
However, before Wang Kezheng could speak, the fake King of the Eastern Domain, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly said, "I have something to say! All of this was forced upon me by Wang Kezheng. I was actually just a law-abiding and honest little teacher. One day, Wang Kezheng suddenly approached me and asked me to impersonate someone!"
"At first, I didn't know who I was impersonating, but he promised me great benefits and made me memorize and recite all sorts of deeds and information. At the same time, he also made me learn all sorts of etiquette and knowledge. It took a total of three years!"
Speaking of this, this imposter, with some unknown courage, suddenly stood up and continued through gritted teeth, "When I realized I was supposed to impersonate the King of the Eastern Domain, I sternly refused, but Wang Kezheng threatened me with the lives of my entire family, so I had no choice but to comply!"
"Oh, and also, I know all the bad things Wang Kezheng has done over the years, including the Tong family and Cheng family in Shanghai, and several other major wealthy families. In fact, Wang Kezheng secretly sent people to do it, all to frame Prince Bei. If you don't believe me, I have a secret recording, Wang Kezheng admitted it himself!"
After saying this, the seemingly ordinary old man suddenly seemed to have his spine removed and collapsed completely on the ground.
"You scoundrel! Although I used your family to threaten you, I treated you well. I never thought you, a dog-like lowly creature, would dare to betray me! Today, I'll kill you first!"
Wang Kezheng roared and was about to rush towards the imposter.
"You dare..."
The Chief Guardian elder was enraged and directly struck out with a palm from a distance. The powerful innate true essence condensed into a handprint and instantly shot out.
Wang Kezheng's hand was about to grab the imposter's neck when, with a loud bang, he was sent flying backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
It was also because the Chief Guardian elder acted in haste, only intending to save someone, and didn't have time to use too much force. Otherwise, Wang Kezheng would have been killed on the spot.
After all, a true Innate True Essence realm powerhouse was not something Wang Kezheng could contend with.
"Wang Kezheng, I never thought you were such a despicable villain with ulterior motives! You secretly controlled His Highness the King of the Eastern Domain, then had someone impersonate him to gradually control the entire Eastern Domain camp. During this period, you even indulged and colluded with Fusang ronin warriors and Geek Island. Furthermore, to frame Prince Zhenbei, you went mad and killed several major wealthy families in Shanghai!"
"Your actions are heinous and unforgivable! You are a complete tyrant! Today, we four guardians of the Eastern Domain will bring you to justice and eradicate all your forces!"
The four guardians were extremely enraged. If Xiao Yunlong hadn't exposed the other party's conspiracy and schemes today, they would have been tricked by Wang Kezheng, and it might have even led to immeasurable losses. If that had happened, they would undoubtedly have become sinners of the Eastern Domain!
"Attack!" The Chief Guardian tapped his foot and pounced forward, and the other three guardians also rushed over.
"My lords, I probably can't escape. You don't need to worry about me, just escape. When you return to the Western Domain in the future, please avenge me and kill this dog, Xiao Yunlong!"
Wang Kezheng gnashed his teeth and roared, his gaze towards Xiao Yunlong filled with boundless fury.
As he spoke, the four Yinming elders had already engaged in battle with the four Eastern Domain guardians. The Second Commander Mao Guozhi and the Third Commander Li Guangfa had also taken action against Wang Kezheng.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yunlong retreated to the side. He had done what he needed to do. The remaining matters should be resolved by the Eastern Domain internally.
Moreover, with the four Eastern Domain guardians present, Wang Kezheng had no chance of escaping!
The battle erupted fiercely, but it ended as quickly as it began, like a torrential rain.
Even fighting one against two, the Chief Guardian elder still held the advantage. After all, he was a true Innate True Essence realm expert. Within a few rounds, he had defeated and clashed with two of the Yinming elders.
The remaining two Yinming elders were quickly dealt with, and the old butler of the Wang family was killed by the white-haired female guardian.
As for Wang Kezheng...
Under the combined efforts of Li Guangfa and Mao Guozhi, he was forced to retreat repeatedly. Finally, he was struck by Li Guangfa's punch and then kicked to the ground by Mao Guozhi.
Throughout the entire process, Xiao Yunlong did not make a move. As for Zhuge Wushuang, Tu Fu, and Jun Bufan, they naturally had no intention of stepping forward without Xiao Yunlong's orders.
The enraged Li Guangfa lunged forward and reached out to end Wang Kezheng's life.
"Stop! Keep his dog life for now. Killing him like this would be too easy for him. Next, I will hold a public trial for him within the Eastern Domain!"
The old King of the Eastern Domain, dressed in a dirty single-piece garment, suddenly spoke. Although his voice was not loud, his commanding tone was full of authority.
This kingly demeanor was a world apart from the imposter.
"Yes!" Li Guangfa pressed several acupoints on Wang Kezheng, sealing them. This way, even if Wang Kezheng wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't.
"Issue an order! Mao Guozhi, Li Guangfa, you two immediately lead your elite troops to capture all of Wang Kezheng's confidantes. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
The King of the Eastern Domain then issued his second order. Even though his body was frail, his kingly aura remained undiminished!
The two commanders immediately cupped their fists and accepted the order.
At this time, the King of the Eastern Domain slowly turned around and walked towards Xiao Yunlong.
"Nephew, as the saying goes, great kindness needs no thanks. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, not only would I be finished, but the entire Eastern Domain would likely be doomed!"
The old King of the Eastern Domain said with emotion and bent down to bow to Xiao Yunlong.
"Uncle Dong, you are too kind!" Xiao Yunlong saw this and quickly helped him up.
At the same time, the four Eastern Domain guardians also walked over and cupped their fists towards Xiao Yunlong, saying, "Your Highness King Zhenbei, it was our four people's ignorance and naivety that we almost believed Wang Kezheng's lies and inadvertently offended you. We ask for your forgiveness!"
Xiao Yunlong waved his hand, "As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. The four seniors were also thinking of the Eastern Domain, so naturally, I will not take it to heart."
The four guardian elders nodded upon hearing this, their eyes towards Xiao Yunlong filled with relief and admiration.
"It's too chaotic here. Let's go to the inner hall. I have many things to tell you. Come, nephew!"
After speaking, the King of the Eastern Domain took Xiao Yunlong's hand and was about to walk inside. However, when he passed by the imposter, he stopped.
Frowning slightly, the King of the Eastern Domain asked, "Nephew, was this person exposed by you, or will you decide whether to kill him?"
Xiao Yunlong glanced at the other party and sighed, "I think he is also a victim. How about this, disfigure him and spare his life, give him some compensation, and let him return home."
"Alright, we'll do as you say!" The King of the Eastern Domain readily agreed, and then the two walked into the inner hall.
