Hail the King

Chapter 492: Provocation

After hearing what this old man said, everyone finally noticed that Zenitians took two [Elemental Gates]. Fei was one of them, and the blue-haired mid-aged man and his two guards were apparently from the Zenit Empire as well.

Now, some people in the area were getting upset. Even though the Holy Church was dominating, they only took one [Elemental Gate], and seven out of the 12 people were left outside. Could a level 1 empire be more dominating than the Holy Church?

For a moment, everyone was looking at Fei and the blue-haired mid-aged man.

The blue-haired mid-aged man sneered, and he didn’t say anything. His powerful aura told everyone that he wasn’t going to back off. If anyone wanted to challenge him, they were welcomed to fight him.

However, who would dare to challenge such a powerful man?

After Fei gave it some thought, he looked at the masters who were standing by the edge of the altar; some of them were desperate as it looked like they were so old that they were close to their death.

“I can take four people with me,” he said. He pointed at four old masters who felt righteous and were at the verge of a breakthrough and death. “You four can stand in this [Elemental Altar] with me.”

“Ah? Really? Thank you, young King!”

“Thank you so much! Gods will bless you, young man! I owe you a huge favor!”

The four masters who were pointed out by Fei were ecstatic! One of the masters who had a full head of white hair even cried in excitement. He was desperate before, and his dream suddenly came to life! Even experienced cultivators couldn’t hold still when this sudden change hit them. He thanked Fei repeatedly and stated that he would pay Fei back in the future.

“Three people could stand in that gate as well,” Fei pointed at the [Elemental Gate] that Hazel Bank and Arthur were standing in.

“Huh...... Since the King of Chambord already mentioned it, then we will take three more people as well.”

The Undead Mage had lived for hundreds of years, and he immediately understood Fei’s intentions. Since Fei wanted to establish some friendship and get some influence over these masters, he quickly followed that up with an appropriate response.

From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed like this mysterious master did a favor for the King of Chambord.

It was worth mentioning that these people were influential and powerful figures in the outside world. Although they seemed weak in the Mythical Palace, they were capable of a lot on the Azeroth Continent. This investment made by Fei was very valuable!

Three more people got on the altar, and they thanked both Fei and Hazel Bank for their generosity. They all promised that they would repay this generous gesture in the future.

“Haha! The gods taught us that helping others is helping one’s self!” that master from Jax suddenly laughed and said to Fei, “Since the King of Chambord is this generous, I will do the same; think of it as a small repayment of the favor you have done for me. I can take three people as well.”

This man pointed at three people in the crowd. They were Fairenton. Modoc, and another elder. Both [Snow Mountain Hermit] and Tony weren’t considered.

Fei was a little surprised by what happened.

This master of Jax was being a little selfish and picked two people of Jax; even if Fei didn’t do anything, it seemed like he would still take Fairenton and Modoc with him. However, this man seemed majestic and was probably an influential figure in the Jax Empire. The fact that he was willing to take a random stranger with him was a huge friendly gesture.

Out of the other [Elemental Gates], the ones that were taken by the Holy Church and the Crown Prince of the St. Germain Empire were full, and it was clear that the blue-haired mid-aged man wasn’t welcoming. That white-robed mysterious mage had an impatient look on his face, and the chilling energy surge around him scared a lot of people; no one dared to ask him. Also, that huge bald man and the two thin devil-like old men didn’t look like nice people, and it was almost clear that they would rather waste to seat than helping others in the area.

The people who weren’t on the altar all looked at Fei with hoping eyes; they wanted Fei to put in a word for them.

However, Fei could only shake his head; he knew that he couldn’t make everyone listen to him. Hazel Bank and the master of Jax were willing to do him a favor, but it didn’t mean that others would do the same. If he opened his mouth and asked, he would be looking for trouble. Besides, most of the people who were left all seem vicious and violent; Fei didn’t want to help them.

“Ok! It looks like we don’t have different opinions, so let’s activate the altar and open the [Elemental Gates]!” Hazel Bank suggested again.

“Wait! Who said I’m fine with the current arrangement? Hehe, I still have a lot to say......” that old man laughed and interrupted again. He stared at Fei viciously with his cloudy eyes, pointed at Fei with his finger, and stated, “I suddenly feel like this kid isn’t worthy of an [Elemental Gate]. Kick him out, and I suggest we choose him instead.”

As he said that, he pointed at [Snow Mountain Hermit] who was in shock as well.

This old man wanted Fei to give his spot to [Snow Mountain Hermit]!

The people in the area took a while before finally reacting to this incident. Although they didn’t know why this devil-like old man was going crazy, they knew that he didn’t like the King of Chambord and wanted to cause trouble for him.

“Could it be that this old man has a grudge against the King of Chambord?”

Everyone was guessing that.

After a short pause, Fei’s face dropped as he looked at this old man coldly. “Who are you? How dare you point your fingers at me?” he sneered.

“Hehe, young man! Don’t be so impulsive! Being pointed at is the least of your worries,” that old man said as he started to walk towards Fei. A cloud of black mist was surging around his body, and it felt very powerful. With a mocking smile on his face, he laughed and said, “I just don’t like you, and I don’t want you to enter the [Elemental Gate]! Hehehe...... You are only the King of a small Affiliated Kingdom under Zenit! Everyone else here is a powerful and famous master! In comparison, you are just a little junior. How are you qualified to take their place and get this [Elemental Gate]? Hehe, even the Martial Saint of Zenit got butchered, and Zenit declared war against three empires at the same time. It will be conquered sooner or later, and everyone from the nobles to the poor people would be turned into slaves! Hehe, why should this [Elemental Gate] be wasted on you?”

Murderous lights appeared in Fei’s eyes, but he calmed down even more.

“This old man is only a top-tier New Moon Elite, and he is far weaker than me. How dare he speaks to me like this? Could it be that he is relying on something or someone?” Fei looked over this old man that was approaching him and locked his eyes onto that huge bald man who was standing below an [Elemental Gate]. With a vicious smile on his face, this huge bald man was looking at Fei as well.

This huge bald man was one of the few people who Fei couldn’t see through. This man had an extremely dangerous sensation around him, and Fei felt like he couldn’t defeat this man.

“Perhaps this old man is relying on this master!” Fei thought. He didn’t know when he offended such a master, and it would be a massive headache for him.

However, Fei immediately categorized this man as his enemy without hesitation.

Since this man already showed his hostility, Fei won’t act soft and try to get a peace treaty.

Also, the stronger the enemy, the calmer the King.

Although he didn’t show anything on the surface, the murderous spirit on his mind was getting more and more intense.

However, no matter what, this dark and thin old man must die!

Some scales were running in the opposite direction on a dragon’s body, and anyone who touches it will die! (TL: This is an old Chinese saying meaning that if someone’s sensitive nerve were touched, trouble would appear.)

Martial Saint Krasic was very important on Fei’s mind! Since this old man insulted Krasic, Fei made up his mind and was determined to make this old man pay! As the King calculated the distance and the angle, he secretly raised his power level. The air around him was being frozen.

“Too bad! I wasn’t able to kill the Martial Saint of Zenit! Hehe, the brain of a Martial Saint must be delicious......” that old man said that as he raised his Warrior Energy. A series of crackling noises sounded as he stretched his body, and his arms increased 30 centimeters in length! The hard and black fingernails on his fingers were about half a meter long, and they were being dragged on the stone tiles on the ground as if they were powerful weapons.

Creak! Several deep scratch marks were left on the stone tiles.

The suspension was real! The battle could happen at any time.
