2292: C2292 Tide King

C2292 Tide King

"Kakakaka..."

The tightly shut city gates slowly opened. The Tidal Guards were the first to rush out and stand on both sides of the city gates in an orderly manner.

An elder of the Tidal Race walked out under the crowd's escort. He held a huge blue-golden trident in his right hand, and on top of his head was a Tidal Crown that symbolized the power of the king.

This person's size was even more exaggerated than the Dark Water Grand Priest. Just his height alone was three meters. Although his hair and beard were all white, his muscular body showed no signs of loosening. Just by standing there, there was an absolute pressure.

"Your Majesty, why are you here..."

The Dark Water Grand Priest immediately half-knelt on the ground. Its already pale face became deathly pale.

He had deliberately expelled Chao Ge and the others on his own accord. Now that he had alarmed the Wave King, he was afraid that he would also receive severe punishment.

"Grand Priest, how dare you hide such a big matter and not report it? Could it be that you don't take Zhen seriously?" The Wave King's eyes were gloomy. The trident in his hand shone brightly. The pressure that was as heavy as an abyss made everyone around him tremble in fear.

Feng Yixiu couldn't help but feel shocked when he felt this overwhelming pressure.

This pressure was clearly directed at the Dark Water Grand Priest, but even the residual force that was released was still difficult to resist.

Feng Yixiu and Zhong Yun still didn't lose their composure, but Princess Chao Ge's face was pale, and her entire body began to sway.

Seeing this, Feng Yixiu protected Chao Ge behind him, and used the powerful spirit press to form a protective barrier, so that Princess Chao Ge wouldn't faint.

"Ninth Grade Eighth Rank battle spirit emperor, the strength of this tidal king is much stronger than I thought..." On the surface, Feng Yixiu was calm and collected, but in his heart, he was sighing with emotion.

Such an expert was one of the best even in the land world. It could be seen that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the East Sea.

If they fought at the bottom of the sea, Feng Yixiu might not be a match for the Wave King!

However, according to Marshal Ye's information, the Wave Kingdom was still the weakest of the three major powers in the East Sea. From this, it could be inferred how powerful the other two major powers were.

"Boom!"

Under the terrifying pressure that was as heavy as a mountain, the Dark Water Grand Priest that was originally kneeling on one knee suddenly knelt on the ground, and the force of the blow actually smashed out a deep pit.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This lowly subject only wants to help Your Majesty share the burden. I absolutely do not dare to have any other indecent thoughts!" The Dark Water Grand Priest did not dare to raise its head at all and explained with a trembling voice.

"Humph... Don't think that I do not know what you are thinking. If you dare to make a decision on your own in the future, you can forget about this head of yours!" The Tidal King frowned slightly and said coldly.

"Thank you for your graciousness, Your Majesty. This lowly subject will definitely be overwhelmed with fear in the future and pledge my loyalty to you!"

The Dark Water Grand Priest continuously kowtowed to express its gratitude as if it had been granted amnesty. Its entire person could be considered to have heaved a sigh of relief.

"Don't be happy too early. This capital offense can be exempted from the crime of being unable to escape punishment. Zhen will punish you with a year's salary, and also strip you of the position of Grand Priest. Are you convinced?" The Wave King said indifferently.

Hearing this, the Dark Water Grand Priest's pupils suddenly narrowed. Its palms, which were buried in the sea sand, could not help but clench tightly. A strong sense of unwillingness surged into its heart.

In order to become a Grand Priest, he, Ximing, had put in countless efforts, but now, everything had been put to waste. It was all because he had offended a foreigner that he thought was unimportant.

"Why... You seem to be unconvinced?" The Tidal King frowned coldly, and an even more powerful pressure suddenly erupted.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I am willing to be punished..."

Even though Ximing was extremely unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the King in front of everyone, and could only obediently nod in agreement.

However, as he spoke, Ximing's gaze inadvertently looked towards the young man by the side of the Tide King who seemed to be wearing luxurious clothes, and it seemed as if he was begging for his help.

This person's name was Xiyu, and he was a prince with considerable authority within the Tide Kingdom. At the same time, he was one of the most powerful competitors for the crown prince.

However, Xiyu wasn't the Wave King's biological son. He was the son of a prince. Xiyu had a grade elder sister who was slightly older than him, and she was called the Chao Yin Princess.0

As a huge clan, the Tidal Kingdom had developed into a complicated royal family after hundreds of years of development. Apart from Prince Xiyu and the Chao Yin Princess, there were also many princes and princesses in the royal family.

However, ever since the only daughter of the Tidal King had died in an accident, Prince Xiyu and Princess Chao Yin's reputation among the younger generation of the royal clan had become like the sun in the sky.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, Ximing is an important official of the court. For the sake of a few foreigners, he has taken away his Grand Priest position. Isn't this punishment a little too heavy?" Prince Xiyu bowed slightly and carefully suggested.

"Outsiders? If it was someone else who didn't know the inside story, it would be fine. I never thought that you, as a prince, would be so ignorant." The Wave King glanced at Xiyu and said in a deep voice.

The Wave King's gaze was burning, and he paused for a moment before continuing, "More than 300 years ago, the great demon caused trouble, and if it wasn't for the assistance of the Black Tortoise Saint Spirit King, At that time, the Wave King personally led a small group of his clansmen to guard the Black Turtle Secret Realm in order to repay the debt of gratitude. That was a huge sacrifice. Today, the return of the descendants of our clan was a blessing to our clan, but you actually deliberately made things difficult for them. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to our ancestors?!"

"But..."

Prince Xiyu was about to retort, but the Tidal Kingdom had forced him to do so.

"There's no buts. I'm not dead yet. There's no place for you to speak here!" The Tidal King threw his clothes on the ground furiously, and then he berated in a stern voice. "You defended Ximing in such a way. Could it be that the matter of him acting on his own accord has something to do with you?"

Prince Xiyu was terrified to the point his face turned deathly pale when he heard this, and he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the Wave King's cold gaze.

"Your Majesty, you have to understand that this lowly subject has acted on my own accord. It wasn't the order of Your Highness."

Before Prince Xiyu could even open his mouth to explain, Ximing hurriedly explained.

"It's good that it isn't... But if I hear anyone who dares to mention the word 'foreigners' again in the future, don't blame me for making you suffer!" The Wave King nodded. His overbearing gaze swept across the surroundings as he spoke in a stern voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

After everything was settled, the Wave King strode towards Feng Yixiu. Compared to the sternness he had towards Xi Ming and the others, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Nephew, I was unable to discipline you properly for a moment, and I've caused all of you to suffer..." The Wave King smiled and said softly.

Feng Yixiu bowed slightly out of courtesy and said in a deep voice, "Your majesty is too serious. My sister and I have just arrived. I am afraid we will have to bother you in the future."
