The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 444 - 388: Overstepping Authority

Hearing Ling Shan’s words, the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom nodded immediately and then spoke, "Lord Ling Shan, this matter is of great importance, primarily due to its involvement with the current Undead Forces in the Chaotic Sea Domain."

Upon hearing this, Ling Shan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Involvement with the Undead Forces in the Chaotic Sea Domain? It seems the issue is quite serious.

After composing himself, Ling Shan opened his mouth and said, "Just say it directly."

Hearing Ling Shan’s words, the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom no longer beat around the bush and directly revealed all of Salman’s plot.

After finishing, the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom slightly cupped his hands, "This matter is of great importance, please report it to His Majesty, the Celestial Dragon."

The etiquette of the Elf Kingdom is naturally different from that of the Celestial Dragon Empire, but since they were on someone else’s territory, they naturally had to follow the host’s etiquette.

If this matter is successfully reported to the Celestial Dragon Emperor, the envoy believes that the Celestial Dragon Emperor will definitely agree to allow both sides to cooperate smoothly.

But there’s a problem, the person leading this time is Ling Shan.

Ling Shan is quite famous, and although most of the fame is due to his son, Ling Yun, it cannot be denied that he himself is also quite well-known.

He is a rather upright figure, and Salman’s plan is undoubtedly quite unrighteous.

So he’s actually somewhat worried that Ling Shan might suppress this matter and not report it to the Celestial Dragon Emperor.

If that’s the case, it would be quite troublesome.

Going directly through the Elf King to communicate with the Celestial Dragon Emperor would not only make Salman look incompetent but also seem disrespectful to the Elf King.

It must be understood that it is one thing if subordinates handle matters with the boss simply giving a nod, compared to directly involving the boss.

And even if Ling Shan was blamed afterward, it couldn’t be too severe. After all, his son has a boundless future, and he himself is a Legendary Tier existence.

However, he still held some confidence.

This confidence stemmed directly from Ling Shan’s son, Ling Yun.

Not only does Ling Shan have means to directly contact the Celestial Dragon Emperor, but Ling Yun does as well.

Ling Yun is entirely different from his father; Ling Yun is a staunch royalist. In his eyes, the interests of the Empire and the Royal Family are more important than anything, including his own family.

That was why he revealed this matter in public after seeing Ling Yun present.

If Ling Yun hadn’t been present, he actually wouldn’t have directly disclosed this matter.

Now that Ling Yun knows about this issue, even if Ling Shan is unwilling to report it to the Celestial Dragon Emperor, Ling Yun surely would not agree.

Most likely, he would bypass his father and report directly to the Celestial Dragon Emperor.

Of course, the relationship between the father and son has always been relatively good, which is the envoy’s only concern. If Ling Shan were to prevent Ling Yun from reporting to the Celestial Dragon Emperor, it might not be likely, but he could use some methods to delay Ling Yun’s reporting, which is possible.

If during this time, Ling Shan makes some uncontrollable moves, it would make the situation spirally out of control.

Therefore, after finishing this matter, the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom immediately shifted his gaze to Ling Shan, observing his every move.

As long as Ling Shan does not intend to immediately report this matter to the Celestial Dragon Emperor, he planned to tear the mask off and, at the risk of offending Ling Shan, directly request Ling Yun to report to the Celestial Dragon Emperor immediately.

Just by requesting in the name of the Elf Kingdom, he believed Ling Yun would agree at once.

In this way, Ling Shan would have no more chance to delay; as long as everything happened face to face, there wouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, Ling Shan might not necessarily do so, because although he is a very upright person, his loyalty to the Celestial Dragon Empire is also unquestionable.

After a moment of silence, Ling Shan raised his head, looked at the envoy of the Elf Kingdom, and slowly said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty, the Celestial Dragon, later. Please rest for a bit; after I have reported to His Majesty, I will give you a reply."

Upon hearing this, the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom’s face darkened.

It was clear that Ling Shan intended to delay. By this point, he no longer harbored any illusions about Ling Shan, so he stood up, tearing faces, and directed his gaze at Ling Yun who was standing aside: "Lord Ling Yun, we are conveying Duke Salman’s opinion and request you, in the name of the Elf Kingdom, to report to His Majesty, the Celestial Dragon, immediately in our presence."

"Our affairs are extremely urgent; we have no time to waste. After getting a reply from His Majesty, the Celestial Dragon, we need to leave here immediately and head to the next top-level superpower, hoping you can understand."

These words, although somewhat indicative of tearing faces with Ling Shan, still left some dignity for him, unless Ling Shan insisted on losing face and forcibly continued to block.

If that happened, Ling Shan would truly be cornered.

Upon hearing what the leading envoy of the Elf Kingdom said, Ling Shan’s face darkened as well.

He naturally understood the meaning behind the envoy’s words; his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

Ling Shan sighed slightly, then lowered his head and said nothing more.
