King of Creation-Chapter 1483 - 1468: An Ocean of Cheers

Bang!

The banquet hall door was kicked open with a scattering explosion, causing everyone inside to be dumbfounded and rendered speechless.

Even Chu Shengting, the Grand Clan Leader of the Seven Surnamed Clan on Dulong Island, was taken aback. He had already sent people to stop Manager Di; how could they let him barge in?

On the right side of the hall, Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao was forcefully embracing a young girl, preparing to force a kiss when his mood was abruptly interrupted. His gaze turned frosty, glaring ominously at Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting.

That gaze was full of questioning intent.

Yuanxin Water Monarch’s icy gaze made Chu Shengting snap out of his shock, pointing at Ye Zhen and furiously swearing, "Manager Di, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to start a war between our clans?"

"Don’t forget, your Sky Wing Trading Company is doing business on our Dulong Island’s territory!"

Amid his furious accusations, Chu Shengting signaled angrily to his left and right, shouting, "Come, escort Manager Di out!"

Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a cold smile, casually twirling the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder in his hand like playing with a yo-yo. The two elders just commanded by Chu Shengting immediately froze in their tracks.

The power of Ye Zhen’s Evil Punishing Divine Thunder was something they feared deeply.

"Grand Clan Leader, you have misspoken. If you as a clan leader won’t stand up for your clan members, then I, as the leader of the Defense Army, have no choice but to stand up for my soldiers!" Ye Zhen said.

Chu Shengting almost exploded with anger from Ye Zhen’s words. What did he mean by not standing up for his clan members, forcing Ye Zhen to gain reputation by standing up for his soldiers?

He was considering the interests of the entire clan!

"Lord Dangshui, you have an agreement with our Sky Wing Trading Company. I believe you haven’t forgotten, right?" Ye Zhen said, fixing his gaze on Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao before Chu Shengting could speak.

Dang Xiao’s expression changed, standing up abruptly, "Manager Di, I haven’t breached it. This is between me and Grand Clan Leader Chu, unrelated to the Sky Wing Trading Company, right?"

"However, the girl in your arms is related to the Defense Army of Dulong Island under Sky Wing Trading Company. Hence, it concerns the Sky Wing Trading Company!"

Saying this, Ye Zhen looked at Miao Jianghai beside him, eyes bloodshot, "Go, bring your fiancée Zhao Li’er over. She’s one of our Sky Wing Trading Company, and with me here, no one can take her away!"

"Yes!"

Miao Jianghai roared as if in anger and charged at Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao.

Grand Clan Leader Chu Shengting couldn’t sit idly by. He couldn’t let Ye Zhen mess things up, angering Yuanxin Water Monarch. Otherwise, the Seven Surnamed Clan on Dulong Island would face untold casualties next year.

"Stop! Let me see who dares!" Chu Shengting pointed at Miao Jianghai and shouted angrily.

Perhaps intimidated by Chu Shengting’s long-standing authority, Miao Jianghai instinctively halted his steps at Chu Shengting’s angry shout, but then angrily roared with a stiff neck, "Clan Leader, why?"

"Why are you stopping me from saving Li’er? If you won’t save her, can’t I find someone to save her?"

"Ah, Clan Leader?"

Miao Jianghai’s blood-like angry roar instantly resonated with the surrounding clan members, faces showing righteous indignation.

More crucially, Miao Jianghai’s roar was so loud, imbued with spiritual power, that it traveled far, allowing distant clan members to hear it even though they couldn’t see it.

Each face showed expressions of anger and even shame.

Unable to protect one’s own clan members, what kind of clan leader is that?

Finally finding someone to save her, only to hinder them—what’s the point?

Chu Shengting, sprayed with drool by Miao Jianghai, wanted to retort but was stunned the moment he opened his mouth.

At this moment, he didn’t know what to say; what would be right?

Given his experience, he realized that if he further obstructed Miao Jianghai, members of the clan might immediately rebel.

Yet, refraining from stopping wasn’t much better.

Seeing this, Miao Jianghai glared bitterly at Chu Shengting, fearlessly walking up to Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, pulling Zhao Li’er from his embrace.

"How dare you!"

Yuanxin Water Monarch took a step forward, shouting angrily at Miao Jianghai. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Rumble!

The terrifying roar of thunder suddenly rushed out from Ye Zhen’s hand, casting a dazzling track across the hall, as the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Whip floating before Ye Zhen flashed brightly, retrieving the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder back into Ye Zhen’s hand.

Ye Zhen merely made the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder circle around, scaring everyone in the hall, with several of the Seven Elders nearly collapsing from fear.

The Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, shivered in perfect synchronization when the thunderclap sounded, retreating several steps in fear.

Miao Jianghai took the opportunity to pull Zhao Li’er into his arms, hurriedly retreating to Ye Zhen’s side. After confirming their safety, the two immediately embraced, cursing tearfully.

What is a life and death parting? This is it.

If Ye Zhen hadn’t come, Zhao Li’er would be on the Yuanxin Water Monarch’s bed tonight.

After crying, Miao Jianghai pulled Zhao Li’er to Ye Zhen’s front, "Squad Leader of the Second Brigade of the Defense Army, Miao Jianghai, sincerely thanks Lord Xie for the life-saving grace. In the future, I will surely sacrifice my life to repay..."

Before Miao Jianghai finished speaking, there was a commotion behind Ye Zhen, a middle-aged man stumbled into the hall, rushed to Ye Zhen’s front, and with tears and cries, said: "Manager Di, I beg you to save my daughter, save my young girl, she’s only seventeen!"

According to Ye Zhen’s previous thinking, he would have readily agreed. However, Gai Jun was prepared, stepped forward to help up the middle-aged man and said, "This brother may not know, my shopkeeper and your Grand Clan Leader have long reached an agreement, both families will not interfere with each other.

The reason my shopkeeper agreed to the rescue requested by Miao Jianghai is mainly because Miao Jianghai is part of our Sky Wing Trading Company on Dulong Island Defense Army, rescuing him doesn’t count as interfering with Dulong Island’s affairs...."

Gai Jun had explained everything so clearly; if the middle-aged man still didn’t understand, he would have truly lived in vain.

Once again, he knelt before Ye Zhen, "Sir, I am willing to join the Defense Army, as long as you can rescue my daughter, I am willing to serve even as a beast or a horse!"

"Since it’s your voluntary choice, I permit you to join the Defense Army!" As Ye Zhen finished speaking, Gai Jun immediately presented a set of Defense Army uniform.

"Since you are one of our Defense Army, you are one of us, I shall handle this! Lord Dangshui, release the people!" Ye Zhen shouted at Yuanxin Water Monarch.

"Go, take them yourself!"

Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao looked helpless. There’s nothing he could do; Ye Zhen controlled his Divine Soul, so in acting out such a play to bolster Ye Zhen’s reputation, he had to cooperate whether he liked it or not.

A few breaths later, just as the middle-aged man pulled back his precious daughter from the side of Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, a commotion rang out behind Ye Zhen. Dozens of men and women cried and rushed to Ye Zhen’s front, kneeling in unison.

The entire hall became filled with their pleas for Ye Zhen to help them; this time, without needing Gai Jun to teach them, each of them threw themselves at Gai Jun, requesting to join the Defense Army and for military uniforms.

This explosive scene left Ye Zhen somewhat dumbfounded. Didn’t Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao choose only four girls today? How did so many people come rushing out?

Upon inquiry, Ye Zhen learned that among these men and women were the parents of the girls sent away in past years. Now, they all beg Ye Zhen to rescue their daughters from the abyss.

"Lord Dangshui, in your Water Mansion, there are many of our Sky Wing Trading Company’s family members; logically, they should be returned immediately!" Ye Zhen said.

Yuanxin Water Monarch was helpless, in front of everyone, feigning fear of Sky Wing Trading Company, "This... after I return, I will... send someone to return them!"

The manner of unwillingness yet helplessness was perfectly acted.

In the next instant, the dozens kneeling before Ye Zhen began to cry tears of joy, and their relatives and clan members cheered upon hearing this promise.

In just one breath, the heart of Dulong Island turned into a sea of celebration.

Listening to this tsunami-like cheer, the Grand Clan Leader of the Seven Surnamed Clan, Chu Shengting, was utterly dumbfounded.

He knew that today’s situation was very bad for their rule, very, very bad.

However, if even Yuanxin Water Monarch has shrunk back and agreed, should he, the Clan Leader, oppose it or try to stop it?

If he really did so, he’d be drowned in the saliva of the clan members.

Yet the problem was, he still instinctively felt that something was off.

This matter appeared like a conspiracy of Sky Wing Trading Company.

But the issue is, now even Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, who they dread, fears Sky Wing Trading Company; their strength must truly be formidable.

Under the current circumstance, what else could he do but let events unfold?

Amid the tsunami-like cheer, the disgraced Yuanxin Water Monarch let out a cold snort, and with a sullen face, strode out.

As Yuanxin Water Monarch just stepped out of the hall, Second Elder Miao Chen, who was irritated by the tsunami-like cheer of his clan members, pointed at the people in the hall and began scolding, "Fools, a bunch of fools! Today, you enraged Yuanxin Water Monarch, ruined the relationship between the two families. Who knows how many clan members will die while fishing and collecting Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

"You all, it’s you, who will cause the death of countless clan members in the future!"

The anger of Second Elder Miao Chen immediately poured cold water over the cheering Seven Surnamed Clan members, leaving many worried and regretful.

Upon hearing, Ye Zhen smiled faintly, looking at the retreating figure of Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao, he shouted, "Lord Dangshui, you haven’t forgotten the seventh important clause between our Sky Wing Trading Company and your Yuanxin Water Mansion, right? It should have been communicated already, right?"

Yuanxin Water Monarch Dang Xiao abruptly stopped, spoke solemnly, "Rest assured, I, Dang Xiao, stand by my word. From now on, any vessel displaying the Sky Wing Trading Company’s flag will never be attacked or harassed by our Water Clan in the Yuanxin Water Domain!"

This proclamation briefly halted the entire scene, and then louder cheers erupted.

Chu Shengting’s expression had turned absolutely dismal!
