CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 1118: THE MILITARY GOD ARRIVES IN PERSON

Upon hearing this voice, the anger on Ivankovich’s face vanished instantly.

In a calmer tone, he said, "Great Military God, I’m aware of the events happening in Capital City."

Although Ivankovich had expressed his anger with a near-roaring voice earlier, when he truly connected with the Military God, he suddenly became timid, evidently very apprehensive of the Military God.

"Mr. Billions, you’ll hear from Young Master Ivan within twelve hours."

Ivankovich nodded briskly, "I trust the Military God."

...

Overnight, the entire Capital City was in turmoil, and the name "Leaf" spread like wildfire throughout the city.

Countless people and organizations began searching for the identity of "Leaf". Many were eagerly anticipating the unfolding of events.

After all, Leaf was the first in many years to openly challenge the Military God.

This time, the Military God would make an appearance...

For a long period, Capital City had been dominated by the Eight Great Families, almost making people forget there were individuals or powers beyond them.

And the Military God was such an existence, now set to appear, hence countless people were anticipating his presence.

"The Military God has appeared!"

Ye Chenfeng, who was still in a dream battling the daughter of Duke Zhou, heard this news, and suddenly, the whole person jolted awake.

"At last, he has appeared!"

Ye Chenfeng’s smile deepened, and his eyes sparkled intensely.

General Lake.

The site where Ji Qingrong and Ye Jianguo competed that day; Ye Chenfeng chose this place for the meeting.

"Divine King, please spare me? Honestly, I can’t move when I see the Military God." Sikong Zhairiyue said with a cowardly expression.

"Hurry up!" Ye Chenfeng said coldly, continuing to stride forward, with Sikong Zhairiyue behind him, dragging the tied Military Young Master and Ivan Kirilenko.

"Alright!"

There was a hint of helplessness on Sikong Zhairiyue’s face as he followed.

Upon arriving at the Heart of the Lake Pavilion, Ye Chenfeng sat upright on the stone bench. Sikong Zhairiyue and the other three were beside him.

Soon after, the roaring of engines was heard, and two off-road vehicles arrived simultaneously.

Immediately, Ye Chenfeng’s sharp gaze scanned over.

The door of the first vehicle opened, and two people alighted.

Their appearance seemed to change the atmosphere completely, but it was indescribable.

Leading the way was a person dressed plainly, especially with an old pair of cloth shoes on their feet.

However, the plain attire could not conceal his ethereal demeanor. He sauntered elegantly, exuding an aura akin to an immortal.

Military God!

The Military God finally appeared!

Not the overwhelming dominance Ye Chenfeng imagined, but rather extraordinarily elegant, akin to a teacher, invoking no association with the Military God that represents Divine Land’s military spirit in anyone’s mind.

A senior followed behind the Military God, dressed in coarse hemp clothing, even more ordinary, completely lacking the Military God’s charisma. His eyes were turbid, and his steps unsteady, so emaciated that a gust of wind seemed capable of blowing him down.

Ye Chenfeng did not underestimate these two; the more ordinary a person, the less ordinary they tend to be.

When they reached Heart of the Lake Island, Ye Chenfeng could distinctly feel the body of Sikong Zhairiyue beside him trembling.

His eyes revealed subconscious fear, indirectly affirming that he was indeed the Military God.

"We meet at last!"

The elegant, ethereal person, the Military God, calmly walked over and sat opposite Ye Chenfeng, the old man standing behind the Military God.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Upon seeing the Military God in person, the Military Young Master and Ivan Kirilenko immediately began struggling.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t speak, merely waved his hand.

Sikong Zhairiyue understood and untied the ropes binding the Military Young Master and Ivan Kirilenko.

The Military Young Master showed no anger or movement, calmly waiting beside as if for the Military God’s instruction.

"You two may depart!"

The Military God addressed the two alongside the Military Young Master.

Without uttering a word, the Military Young Master left with Ivan Kirilenko in the second vehicle.

Meanwhile, within the Heart of the Lake Pavilion, Ye Chenfeng and the Military God sat facing each other, locked in a gaze as if time threatened to freeze.

"You are here too?"

Suddenly, the Military God lifted his head to glance at Sikong Zhairiyue.

"I..."

The Military God glanced casually, yet an immense, invisible pressure cascaded on Sikong Zhairiyue, causing him to tremble, his usual sharp tongue utterly silenced.

"Long time no see, Military God..."

At that moment, Ye Chenfeng spoke up.

A seemingly incongruous remark since he had never met the Military God before.

Ye Chenfeng’s words were deliberate: the Military God would understand the reason upon seeing Sikong Zhairiyue.

The Military God revealed a slight smile, "He ultimately fell into your hands."

The Military God’s words indirectly confirmed the acts of the past orchestrated by having Sikong Zhairiyue do those things.

Ye Chenfeng’s smile was meaningful, "Does the Military God have nothing to say about this?"

Facing Ye Chenfeng’s inquiry, the Military God merely smiled indifferently, "Sorry, Forbidden God King. I can only say it hasn’t reached that stage; telling you would be superfluous."

The Military God’s words left Ye Chenfeng more puzzled; what did they exactly mean?

Was the Military God suggesting he hadn’t reached a certain level?

Ye Chenfeng raised an eyebrow, his eyes emitting a cold light, speaking coldly: "I only know who God is; could he possibly be sitting opposite me?"

The Military God merely chuckled, not responding to Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng helplessly shook his head, smiling, "I anticipated this outcome, but rest assured, if I can kidnap a person once, there’ll be a second time—and there won’t be a third time. During the second time... snap..." Ye Chenfeng made a throat-slitting gesture.

The Military God’s face exhibited not the slightest change, maintaining a gentle smile throughout.

Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng’s expression darkened immensely; lowering his voice drastically, he said, "Our line of work has a custom: assume uncertainties are certainties and eliminate them. General Lake is absolutely a geomantic treasured land, perfectly suited for the Military God."

As he spoke, a bloodthirsty intent gleamed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, an overpowering aura spreading, seemingly dropping the ambient temperature rapidly.

"Pff!"

Sikong Zhairiyue behind Ye Chenfeng nearly coughed up blood; wasn’t Ye Chenfeng implying he intended to kill the Military God?

Killing the Military God, a mathematical impossibility in his eyes.

"Heh heh..."

The Military God merely chuckled again, but his smile conveyed a more mocking sense.

Especially when he and the old man glanced at Ye Chenfeng, there was a sense of deities witnessing common folk. As if in their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was an ant.

"Thunk!"

Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng’s heart sank.
