Ge Zhenfeng secretly gave an order to the entire Ge Clan with irresistible and sharp words!
“Whoever dares to ask Xiao Monarch for Agerasia Dan beads… will get their legs broken, faces ruined, and get expelled immediately!”
The truth proved that Ge Zhenfeng was an experienced man with foresight.
Nobody should underestimate the eager of women for agerasia. If Ge Zhenfeng didn’t give the order, Ye Xiao would be surrounded by a bunch of crazy pinky ladies…
It couldn’t stop their eagerness though.
Outside the yard of the room Ye Xiao stayed, girls, ladies… were all watching him with yearning…
[We want agerasia too… Sob, sob…]
…
A great feast was held that night to celebrate the arrival of a crowd of ‘good friends’. Ge Clan had never held a bigger feast ever before.
Ye Xiao was having a good talk with people, laughing and drinking. The others were all having a good time.
In the middle of the feast, Ge Zhenfeng took some people to come and toast to Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao didn’t refuse any of them. Instead, he smiled and showed them his gratefulness. Finally, things seemed to be in peace again.
Suddenly, the silence spread away. After a while, the entire hall was in silence.
“Today, as the great Lord Xiao Monarch is here, I have a few words to say to you all.” Ge Zhenfeng got a hint from Ye Xiao. That’s why he was bold to say it out.
In fact, he was in the highest position among the people except Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao figured he was the right person to do the speaking!
The others responded, “No need to be so courteous, Master Ge. Just go on.”
“That’s right. We are all listening to your golden saying.”
Ge Zhenfeng cleared the throat and said, “As you all know, Qing-Yun Realm has been in the disturbance. A calamity is going to hit the martial world. We are all great cultivators. You all know this is true.”
The others all looked solemn.
The men wearing black clothes had been quite active in the world for quite some time. Some clans and sects had been wiped out within days. Sima Clan was not the only case.
The black terror had spread to the entire Qing-Yun Realm.
The significant and influential sects weren’t involved yet, but everybody knew that many people from the great sects were missing.
Everybody started to worry.
The men knew that those people would never surrender, or to draw over anybody, just like Ye Xiao and Ge Zhenfeng said. They just killed!
The secret organization was against all the forces in Qing-Yun Realm. It was true!
That was why everybody held the breath and listened to Ge Zhenfeng concentratedly.
“Those people have risen up their weapons. It is impossible that we can hide away and hope for survival. The only way to survival is to fight them and defeat them. However, we… We have no information about those men. We don’t know where they are from, what organization they are, what their background is, what sects are they from… We know nothing about them.
“The only thing we know is that the sword is right over our necks. Nobody knows when it will chop down mercilessly!”
Ge Zhenfeng looked pretty sad, “We have nothing to do about it. I can’t deny the fact.”
Nobody talked. It was still silent.
Everybody was solemn and lost in thoughts.
“Even if we want to make an initiative attack, we have no idea how to do it.” Ge Zhenfeng looked worried and grieved, “Are we going just to sit and wait for the end of our lives?”
The others were still silent, but cast their eyes on Ye Xiao with hope.
Ye Xiao smiled and thought, [Well, a bunch of smart asses. None of my dan beads are wasted.]
Ge Zhenfeng totally understood what Ye Xiao wanted and decisively took the chance to speak for Ye Xiao.
Now he had made it clear to everybody else.
Although everybody had already known it, somebody had to say it out first.
“Guys, we all have families. I guess most of you are not alone at the moment… I have Ge Clan. If the vile organization starts the war… my clan… I have spent thousands of years to build this clan. It will be destroyed!”
Ge Zhenfeng looked pretty sullen.
The others’ faces all turned dark at the same time.
Many of them were prime masters of some sects or clans. What Ge Zhenfeng said truly had concerned them.
[What the war starts… Ge Clan will be ruined. What about ours?]
[Aren’t we going to face the same situation?]
[The nightmare… How do we face it?]
[Do we watch our clan, the people that we care, die in front of us?]
[We don’t want to wait and die, but what can we do?]
[After all, the secret organization was way too powerful. Does it even mean anything to resist it?]
Ge Zhenfeng looked a bit angry, so he talked louder, “The secret organization is powerful. We have to admit it. They may have a potent force that can rule the entire Qing-Yun Realm. But aren’t we together powerful too? How many superior cultivators do we have? As long as we can be united, as long as we don’t give them the chance to break us one by one, I don’t think anybody can fight against the joint force of the entire Qing-Yun Realm!”
“However, we need a man to lead. We need a leader, who can gather us together to resist the approaching crisis!” He suddenly turned around, kneeled down to Ye Xiao and said loudly, “The great Lord Xiao Monarch is right here! He is the most powerful man in Qing-Yun Realm. The true one! Cultivation was not the reason why he is the best. He is generous, heroic, righteous, honest, brave, kind, merciful…”
