504: C504 A New Era

C504 A New Era

At this moment, Zhao Yang seemed to have sensed something, and he couldn't help but think of many things.

He thought of the first time he saw Ye Feng. Ye Feng was so tiny in front of him. At that time, as First Prince, he was so high and mighty.

Ye Feng was just an insignificant ant, he didn't care about it. Later on, Zhao Yang gradually felt the threat coming from Ye Feng, and he was determined to get rid of Ye Feng. He repeatedly sent experts to surround and kill Ye Feng.

But every time, he would fail. Later, Ye Feng won the first place in the Joust For A Spouse Festival, and became the prospective Prince Consort of Zhao State. He was conferred the title of Kang Ping Hou and the fiefdom of Tai You Nine Counties.

At that time, Zhao Yang finally realized how big of a threat Ye Feng posed to him. Even in his dreams, he wanted to get rid of Ye Feng, but he found out that the existence that was once as weak as an ant in front of him had grown to a point where he could no longer control it.

Zhao Yang's thoughts continued until Ye Feng led experts to Imperial City, forcing him to abdicate, and was about to take his life.

There were no other thoughts in his heart, only endless regret.

In fact, Zhao Yang and the other major powers in Imperial City had the same problem. Their destruction came from their own arrogance and arrogance.

When a small flame was still young, it didn't bother them at all. However, it was growing at a terrifying speed. When the flame turned into a sea of fire, they finally realized the threat of the sea of fire. It was impossible to extinguish the sea of fire. It was very likely that they would be buried in the sea of fire.

Zhao Yang's body kept stiffening. Even though he had endless regrets in his heart, it didn't help him. Because time wouldn't go against the flow. His fate was already determined, and that was death.

As his life faded away, Zhao Yang's pupils turned deathly grey. His life force was completely stripped away, and his body fell straight down.

Seeing Zhao Yang's body fall to the ground, Old King let out a long sigh. No matter what, he was still his son. Now that he had fallen to such a state, he would never feel good about it.

However, he didn't blame Ye Feng. He knew that if Ye Feng wanted to kill Zhao Yang, he could have done it in the beginning. The reason why Ye Feng didn't do that was because he wanted Zhao Yang to step down and let him deal with him.

However, he didn't expect Zhao Yang to be so frenzied that he would threaten Ye Feng with his life. Ye Feng was helpless in doing so.

"Greetings, sovereign King! Greetings, sovereign King!"

After Zhao Yang's death, many Sergeant in the square knelt down towards Ye Feng, calling him Sovereign King.

They all knew that this was a game of chess. No matter which side won, they would become the supreme existence of Zhao State. After Zhao Yang's death, they would naturally think of Ye Feng as the new king of Zhao State.

Furthermore, the reason why they knelt down before Ye Feng was to express their willingness to serve Ye Feng. Therefore, they had to make a decision quickly. If they angered Ye Feng, they were afraid that their lives wouldn't be guaranteed.

Ye Feng didn't pay any attention to these things. Zhao Yang was dead, and the overall situation had already been settled. The palace was filled with ordinary eunuchs, Sergeant and palace maid. All of Zhao Yang's atrocities had nothing to do with them, and Ye Feng wouldn't blame them for these things.

He lifted his foot and walked slowly to Old King and Prince. He let them go and said to the Sovereign King, "Everything is over. You have suffered."

"We have resolved a huge crisis in Zhao State. So what if we have suffered a little?"

Old King said to Ye Feng.

"That's right. It's all thanks to you this time. You are the savior of Zhao State. Otherwise, the fate of Zhao State would be unimaginable."

Zhao Ye said to Ye Feng with a sincere smile on his face. Royal Brother's death was caused by his own madness. Ye Feng was only enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens.

"royal father, are you alright?"

Zhao Xinyi also walked up quickly and greeted Old King. These days, the Zhao State was in turmoil. Zhao Xinyi had been worrying about royal father and second brother's comfort.

"I'm fine. Don't worry."

Old King said to Zhao Xinyi. As a former Sovereign King, he was also a person who had experienced a great storm. Soon, he was able to walk out of the tense situation.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Martial Arts Practice Field, silhouettes were flashing by. There were roughly a few hundred of them. All of them had anxious expressions on their faces, and they looked incomparably nervous.

These people were the civil and military officials in the Imperial Court. After hearing about what had happened in the Imperial Palace Square, they did not dare to stay any longer and rushed over as fast as they could.

"Greetings, king! Long live the King!"

The civil and military officials quickly walked in front of Ye Feng and the others and formed a neat line. Then, they bowed and knelt on the ground. Their voices were filled with respect.

The king was dead and the dynasty had been changed. As officials in the court, how could they not understand this logic? If they did not express their stance now, it would be equivalent to making Ye Feng their enemy.

Who was Ye Feng? The man who killed Zhao Yang was the true legend of Zhao State. He had created countless magnificent feats. They all respected Ye Feng from the bottom of their hearts. How could they dare go against him?

Old King felt a sense of disappointment and frustration when he saw all of the officials prostrating themselves. The times had truly changed. He was old, and the times were slowly slipping away from him. He was moving closer to the younger generation.

"All of you, get up!"

Ye Feng looked at the officials and immediately waved his hand. An invisible force dragged them up.

The officials looked at Ye Feng and lowered their heads.

Ye Feng said to them, "You don't have to do that. This country is still the Zhao family's country, and it is the same as Kang Ping Hou's. This is the king you have to kneel to."

After saying that, Ye Feng looked at Old King. The position of the king wasn't what he wanted. He only had one goal, and that was to reach the peak of the Martial Path.

If he wanted to reach the peak of the Martial Path, he would have to leave the Zhao State sooner or later. Therefore, Ye Feng didn't think he was suitable for that position.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, all of the officials looked surprised. They did not expect Ye Feng to make such a decision.

After all, the position of the king was too tempting. In Zhao State, it would be hard for anyone to reject the position of the king.

As for the young man in front of him, he had used his own strength to conquer the Zhao State. Initially, he had the chance to become the supreme existence of the Zhao State, but in the end, he chose to give up.

This was undoubtedly a display of a person's magnanimity. Perhaps, in Ye Feng's heart, King of the State of Zhao's position wasn't as tempting as they had imagined.

In short, Ye Feng's decision had changed everyone's impression of him by a lot. What changed was that he would have a deeper respect for Ye Feng.

Old King's eyes fell on Ye Feng, and his face was filled with excitement. He naturally didn't expect Ye Feng to give up the position of king on his own accord. He would let him continue to hold the position.

"Thank you!"

At this moment, Old King only had gratitude towards Ye Feng. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his current feelings.

"Sovereign King, you don't have to do this. This seat is yours to begin with."

Ye Feng waved his hand at the Sovereign King and said, seemingly unconcerned.

Zhao Xinyi was also touched in her heart. Ye Feng had personally pacified the chaos in Zhao State and killed the experts of Qing-Yun Sect. He deserved to be called the new Sovereign of Zhao State. She and royal father, second brother and the others wouldn't have any objections.

However, Ye Feng had chosen to let her, royal father, continue to sit in this position. This showed how selfless Ye Feng was to the Zhao family.

"Ye Feng, I have a request. I wonder if you will agree to it?"

Old King said. His words carried a hint of asking for instructions. Although Ye Feng had given him the position of the Sovereign King.

However, he was still able to make his position clear. From now on, the Kang Ping Mansion in the far distance would become the sacred land of the Zhao State. It would be worshipped by the people of the world. Even this imperial palace could not be compared with it.

"What is it? Sovereign King, please speak."

Ye Feng's eyes sparkled as he asked.

"I am already old. After experiencing this storm, I truly feel that I am getting old and that I am not suitable to sit in this position. Can I assume the position of Sovereign King with my son, Zhao Ye?"

Old King said. His eyes were filled with determination.

"As the Sovereign King, you have the right to choose the inheritance. Of course, there's no problem with that."1

Ye Feng's eyes sparkled, but he didn't reject it. Second Prince, Zhao Ye, this man was extremely smart, and he had even helped him in the past. This had helped Ye Feng a lot. With Zhao Ye's abilities, the Zhao State would surely prosper in his hands in the future.

"Thank you!"

Old King cupped his hands towards Ye Feng, then his eyes fell upon Zhao Ye and said, "Second brother, from today onwards, you will be the new king of the Zhao State. You must do your duty and make the Zhao State stronger. Can you do that?"

Zhao Ye's eyes sparkled and he looked excited. When he looked at Ye Feng, his face was filled with gratitude. He knew that all of this was given to him by Ye Feng generously.

Ye Feng nodded at Zhao Ye, as if he was encouraging him.

"I can do it."

Zhao Ye said with a solemn expression.

"This official greets the king. Long live the king!"

All of the officials once again dropped to their knees and kowtowed, their voices echoing out in all directions. This meant that a new era had begun!
