Chapter 205 - 205 King-Level Ernest Lanford

205 King-Level Ernest Lanford

These six words were extremely heavy.

It caused Yuzo Quon to fall silent. Did he not want to say it?

Tristan Yandell immediately perked up and said disdainfully, “Coward, a man born into this world should dare to love and hate. You shouldn’t care about her status. She’d be your wife if she married you. The eight countries outside the borders are targeting us, but what does it have to do with a girl like her?”

Tristan hated the eight foreign countries, but that did not mean he could not distinguish right from wrong.

!!

Yuzo shot a glance at Tristan as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It was precisely this cold light that accompanied Yuzo’s frail body as a wave of aura rose up.

An extremely powerful king aura!

His aura was like a hurricane that swept out and filled the entire Quon Temple.

Braydon Neal sat calmly on the spot, unmoved and unaffected.

However, Tristan suffered the aura’s effect. He had spoken carelessly and was hit by the king aura. The force he released was much more terrifying than someone who had grasped a king-level technique!

Bang!

Tristan fell headfirst onto the ground and rolled down the stone steps, his face bruised and swollen.

Hatcher Murphy was shocked. “You are indeed king level!”

Braydon turned a blind eye to it, and with a flick of his finger, a stone pierced through the entire Quon Temple.

Yuzo’s king aura instantly dissipated into smoke, like a balloon that had been punctured.

Braydon turned a blind eye to him teaching Tristan a lesson and said indifferently, “It was your personal choice to let your lover down. It’s enough to make you suffer for the rest of your life. Outsiders can’t comment on it. Continue!”

This was Yuzo’s choice.

He would definitely live in pain for the rest of his life.

Yuzo spoke again. “I received her letter of farewell and immediately set off for Sagaz. In the end, I was still a step too late. She had consumed poison in the carriage and would rather die than marry Cameron Linar!

“This accident shocked the higher-ups of Sagaz and Namar. They immediately chose to cover up the scandal. The bridal procession went to Namar as usual. Francesca had to become Cameron Linar’s wife even though she was dead!”

Yuzo revealed a secret that the central plains main team had never recorded.

“That angered you!” Hatcher Murphy frowned.

“That’s right. Francesca would rather die than marry Cameron Linar. I owe her so much. In a fit of anger, I slaughtered 9,621 people from Sagaz’s bridal procession. I didn’t leave any survivors. I killed them all!

“After that, I buried Francesca. Sagaz covered up the scandal and pinned her death on me. In addition, I killed everyone who went along with the bride. Sagaz painted it in such a way that placed me as the murderer of her and everyone else!”

When Yuzo brought up the past, it was still vivid in his mind. Even after forty years, he still could not forget it.

What happened next was the main point!

The fact that Yuzo had caused such a disaster was irrefutable evidence. If he did not die, Sagaz and Namar would not let this matter rest.

“With irrefutable evidence, the anger between the two countries was enough to take your life!” Hatcher said coldly.

After Tristan heard this, he limped forward and curled his lips slightly.

He felt disdain in his heart!

Who cared about Sagaz and Namar’s anger? It might be useful to other people, but in the eyes of the people of the north, it was nothing!

If this had happened in the northern territory, with Braydon Neal and the ten ruthless men’s personalities, they would not have paid any attention to Namar and Sagaz, nor would they have handed over the person!

From Sammy Dudley’s incident, it could be seen how powerful the core members of the northern army were. They were really suppressing the eight countries.

Yuzo let out a light breath. “I’ve caused a huge disaster in Sagaz. According to the capital, I was the one who acted recklessly. I should be the one to bear the consequences!”

“The capital wants you to die to appease the anger of the two countries?”

Even though Tristan had just been taught a lesson by Yuzo, he did not feel any resentment at all.

When Yuzo was young, he was enraged because of love and slaughtered his way into Sagaz with a single blade, slaughtering tens of thousands of people. Tristan respected him as a man!

The men of the north were all like this, they believed in the strong!

Yuzo said softly, “I’ve never blamed the capital. The trouble that I’ve caused should be borne by me alone!”

“But in the end, someone protected you!”

Braydon stood with his hands behind his back.

Yuzo nodded his head slightly. There was naturally someone protecting him.

But who was this big shot?

Yuzo refused to say!

Braydon smiled faintly. “A big shot from forty years ago. To be able to withstand the pressure of the capital and protect you without any harm, to not be afraid of Sagaz and Namar outside the borders, such a figure can be counted on one hand!”

“Was it the old commander?”

Hatcher shuddered.

Tristan’s eyes lit up. “A twenty-two-year-old ninth-level War God using a northern cold sword. If he is not one of our comrades, who would dare use this sword?”

Braydon’s eyes flashed with longing.

Forty years ago, the person who overbearingly protected Yuzo was definitely the old commander, Finley Yanagi!

Only this teacher would do such a thing, to resist the pressure from the capital, to protect Yuzo from harm, and to turn a blind eye to the anger of Namar and Sagaz.

Only the old commander, Finley Yanagi, could intimidate the capital garrison and the five main teams back then.

The capital garrison was facing Yuzo Quon, who had an A9-grade killing order on his back, yet they did not dare to touch him in the slightest!

Even if the people of the northern territory committed a heinous crime, it was not up to outsiders to teach them a lesson!

...

The northern army had its own rules!

If outsiders bullied them, they would be provoking the north and would be targeted by the swords of the north.

Following that, Yuzo let out a breath of turbid air. “I was escorted by that lord to Mount Nubis and was accepted into the Zento sect. I concealed my real name and went by the Daoist name Yuzo Quon. I have lived in seclusion in Preston mountains ever since!”

Tristan and Hatcher listened quietly.

Braydon pulled out his dragon gall spear and smiled faintly. “Alright, your background is clean. Follow me!”

“Big brother!”

Tristan was shocked.

Yuzo was a ruthless fellow. When he was young, he had slaughtered his way into Sagaz and killed over ten thousand foreign martial artists.

This was called having a clean background?

This was not the way to use the word “clean”!

Hatcher said softly, “Killing ten thousand people in a foreign country proves that he is not a hidden agent from other countries. Just this alone is enough.”

...

“Old man, are you really not a hidden agent from the older generation?”

Tristan knew that the north had hidden stakes all over the world.

This world referred to the entire world!

The north’s hidden agents were controlled by the second most powerful person in the northern army, Cripple Carden.

Tristan had heard a rumor when he was in the north. There were hundreds of thousands of hidden agents from the north all over the world, providing the north with information through various channels.

There were 100,000 people in hiding!

One could imagine what kind of power this was.

Yuzo reverted back to his cowardly look as he shook his head. “I’m not a hidden agent.”

“If you aren’t the north’s hidden agent, why would the old commander be so free to protect you?!” Tristan frowned at him.

He had already categorized Yuzo as someone similar to Old Man Zito.

However, Yuzo was indeed not a hidden agent from the north!

And he definitely was not a hidden agent from the older generation!

“He’s not a hidden agent of the older generation!” Braydon shook his head.

“Huh?” Tristan was a little confused.

“You have forgotten the rules of the north,” Hatcher reminded him helplessly. “Rare talents are not allowed to be hidden agents!”

Tristan instantly recalled this rule!

In the northern territory, there would be people who would assess your potential and martial arts ability during your first year in the north.

They were divided into ordinary, good, excellent, genius, rare talent, ghost talent, and finally, Qilin talent!
