"Is this the legendary Northern Liang King? The strongest among the kings of the four war zones? He doesn't seem that impressive to me!"
"Right, how strong can this clean-cut guy really be?"
"Hey, keep your voices down! Our military strategist got killed by his men this afternoon for offending him. You still dare to talk about the Northern Liang King? Are you asking for death?"
"Psh, as if the Northern Liang King controls heaven and earth, can he also control what I say? I'm not cursing him; I'm just doubting he's as strong as the legends say! If he wants to kill me over these words, so be it!"
...
With Ye Ling and his companions' arrival, murmurs from the Southern Border army soldiers watching the scene began to rise.
Everyone's attitude toward Ye Ling, the Northern Liang King, was extremely cold, even disdainful.
It was as if the execution of Shi Buyun earlier that afternoon wasn't enough to make them realize the Northern Liang King's capabilities.
