Chapter 199 The Conferment Ceremony
Ye Feng's flying boat arrived in Kyoto at noon.
The walls of Kyoto were much taller and larger than those of Shanhefu City.
The city walls were covered with densely packed spirit array patterns.
There's an energy cannon every ten meters.
At the city gate.
The reception he received was far greater than he had imagined.
The powerful figures of Kyoto stood in two rows in front of the city gate, a dense mass of people.
Several elderly men were standing at the front.
He's clearly a person of real power.
Ye Feng glanced at them and got a general idea of what was going on.
Although the Wang family did not like him.
But they dared not make things too ugly on the surface.
Grand Governor of Four Provinces
This is a figure as towering as a pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Ye Feng is the youngest pillar of strength since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This is about saving face.
The Wang family dared not refuse.
The central government in Kyoto cannot refuse.
At this time.
The Wang family didn't cause any trouble.
Instead, they made it incredibly grand and elaborate.
Ye Feng and his group stayed at the most luxurious hotel in Kyoto.
Presidential Suite.
That was much more impressive than the one he stayed at in Shanhe Mansion. The hotel manager personally came out to greet him.
Nodding and bowing.
They adopted a very humble attitude.
"Grand Commander Ye, please feel free to give any instructions you may have."
Ye Feng smiled.
He knew that Wang Zun didn't want to give anyone cause for criticism over such trivial details.
If he really suffered some injustice in Kyoto.
The whole of Great Xia is watching!
The Wang family would naturally be in a difficult position to explain themselves.
"That old bastard Wang Zun is trying to kill us with flattery," Zhang Lizhuo whispered behind Ye Feng.
"They've elevated you to such a high esteem that everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty knows you're the number one prodigy of the Great Xia."
"Then we'll send you to the Northeast Prefecture. If you lose the martial arts competition, you, Ye Feng, will be infamous for eternity."
"I know." Ye Feng sat down on the sofa.
"But I don't care."
"Also, your visit to Kyoto has generated a lot of buzz online. The Wang family's online trolls have been stirring up trouble, saying things like you're too young to shoulder such a great responsibility, and that you got to your position through connections."
"However, netizens have all fired back. Those battle reports from Shanhe Prefecture are readily available online; Ye Feng's achievements speak for themselves. Who can criticize him?"
Cao Keyuan stood at the window, looking at the bustling street scene of Kyoto outside.
He had never seen anything like it before.
Dong Sheng and Zhao Laoda sat on the sofa, looking a little reserved.
Director Zhou and Old Zhang remained as calm as ever.
As for Ye Feng's trip to Beijing to receive his official title...
This caused a huge uproar online.
The top ten headlines are all related to Ye Feng.
The comments from netizens were even more varied.
"Ye Feng jumped directly from the city lord of Weicheng to the Grand Commander of the Four Prefectures. His promotion speed is so fast that even a rocket can't catch up with him."
"If you had Ye Feng's record, you could have risen this fast too."
"Reclaiming three hundred miles of old territory and annihilating the advance team of the mechanical race—that's enough merit."
"Ye Feng is only in his early twenties, right? A towering figure in his early twenties, the first of its kind since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty."
Some people made sarcastic remarks.
"What's the use of leveling up so quickly? Are we just going to the Northeast Prefecture to die? That Blood Demon of the Blood Clan is a late-stage Martial God, while Ye Feng is only a seventh-level Martial Venerable. How are we going to fight him?"
This comment received thousands of negative replies.
"What were you doing when you were at the seventh level? Just wasting your time at the Dao Academy, weren't you?"
"You were still breastfeeding when Ye Feng killed the Martial God at the seventh rank."
"If you can't speak properly, you should shut up."
The haters were so attacked that they dared not show their faces.
The people of Shanhe Prefecture, as well as netizens who disapprove of the Wang family's ways.
They spontaneously formed the "Frontline Protection Team".
Anyone who criticizes Ye Feng will be criticized.
These are not online trolls hired by Ye Feng.
They are all people who genuinely support him.
When Zhao Gongming saw those comments, he even joked with Ye Feng.
"You're a national idol now; people recognize you wherever you go."
Ye Feng was drinking cola at the time and didn't even look up.
"What's the use of idols? Can they feed you?"
The investiture ceremony was held at the Kyoto Central Assembly Hall.
The Central Assembly Hall was where the Great Xia held important ceremonies.
The Great Hall of the People is resplendent with gold.
A huge landscape painting of the country was displayed in the center of the hall.
The map marks the boundaries of the eight prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty and the defense lines of the battlefields outside the region.
Hundreds of people lined up on both sides.
They were all powerful figures in Kyoto.
They stood there in a dense, dark mass.
Ye Feng stood in the center of the conference, dressed in a black combat uniform.
He stood very straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
The ceremony was presided over by a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A middle-aged man.
His voice was loud and clear, full of energy.
"May Heaven bless our Great Xia! General Ye Feng, who has annihilated the mechanical army and brought glory to our Great Xia, is hereby granted the title of Grand Commander of the Four Provinces, in charge of the military affairs of the Northeast Province, Shanhe Province, South Sea Province, and West Sea Province!"
Ye Feng accepted the letter of appointment and turned to face the crowd.
The applause from hundreds of people was very enthusiastic.
Some are sincere, some are insincere.
Some people had no expression.
Several distinctive figures were standing on one side.
The top military leader, General Yang Tiangang.
Late stage of Martial God.
The pillar of strength for the Great Xia military.
He fought on foreign battlefields for decades.
The blood flowing through his veins was redder than that of the entire Wang family.
His hair was gray, but his eyes were bright and piercing.
He crossed his arms and looked at Ye Feng with a slight smile on his lips.
Qin Wubing, Director of the Night Watch.
Late stage of Martial God.
The highest-ranking officer of the Great Xia Night Watch.
He is a psychic, dressed in a black combat suit.
He had a thin face and piercing eyes.
He stood in the corner of the main hall.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Feng.
The head of the main branch of the Taoist temple.
Gu Qingyun, half-step into the invincible realm.
The foremost weapon refiner in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Ouyang Tian's teacher.
He was wearing a gray robe and had white hair.
He was leaning on a cane.
His gaze lingered on Ye Feng for a long time before shifting to Vivian beside Ye Feng.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yang Tiangang walked over first.
He walked up to Ye Feng and then extended his hand.
"Young man, don't be impulsive. The vampire world is a dangerous place; you might not come back if you go."
His voice was very loud.
Everyone present could hear it.
Wang Zun stood to the side.
His facial expression was unusually unpleasant.
Is this old guy looking for trouble?
Should we stand up for Ye Feng?
Ye Feng remained silent.
Qin Wubing also came over.
He looked at Ye Feng and remained silent for a moment.
Then he spoke up as well.
"The vampires have been operating in the Northeast Prefecture for ten years; they couldn't possibly be without a backup plan. Xue Ming dared to openly challenge you, so he must be confident of victory."
"You are now the Grand Governor of four provinces, not a lone wolf. Your life is not your own."
"Your life or death is tied to the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
He is the director of the Great Xia Night Watch.
Know more.
The seven martial gods of Shanhe Prefecture are not the ones who are known in public now.
The military garrison commander of Shanhe Prefecture, the head of the Night Watch, and that Ouyang Tian are all already Martial Gods.
Yesterday, five more people in Jiangcheng broke through to the Martial God level.
Ye Feng's lineage boasts a total of sixteen martial gods.
This is a force powerful enough to tear the Great Xia Dynasty apart.
If anything happens to Ye Feng in the Northern Wilderness.
His army of martial arts masters could probably march all the way to Kyoto.
The Great Xia is now besieged on all sides.
We absolutely cannot allow any more internal strife.
