Chihuo was taking charge of the headquarters of the Monarch’s Hall. The Flower King was guarding Ye Xiao. Xuan Bing, unexpectedly, became the commander of the entire Monarch’s Hall.
She was Ye Xiao’s lady, and she was new to the Monarch’s Hall. In fact, it didn’t seem like she could earn the trust of everybody.
However, a few months earlier, she just reached the first level of the Immortality Stage, and she had defeated the leaders of six of the twelve units in combat. She was as powerful as Rong Ke’er. It brightened everybody’s eyes in the Monarch’s Hall!
Lady Rong Ke’er was recognized as the most powerful female cultivator in the Monarch’s Hall, as powerful as her husband, Meng Youjiang. In fact, she was already at level three of the Immortality Stage. Xuan Bing was only at the first level of the Immortality Stage, but she managed to fight on equal footing against Rong Ke’er! It shocked everybody!
Xuan Bing was not the only one who shocked the Monarch’s Hall. Shuang and Han were only at level six of the Saint Origin Stage, which meant they were only at a normal level in the Monarch’s Hall. However, as they fought side by side, it shocked everybody. They were actually a good match against an Immortality Stage cultivator! It was astonishing. It was understandable that they became more powerful while fighting side by side, but it was unbelievably shocking that two level-six Saint Origin Stage cultivators stayed undefeated in the fight against an Immortality Stage cultivator. It was sick!
Ye Xiao was lost in his own cultivation. If he knew what happened, he would be shocked and impressed as well. People who came from the lower realms improved faster than native cultivators, and they always did a better job in practical fights. He shouldn’t worry about Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and the others too much!
The native cultivators were shocked when they saw Xuan Bing and the two ladies. In fact, when they saw Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun, they would be more astonished!
Shuang and Han were assisting Xuan Bing to lead the people of the Monarch’s Hall at the moment.
The first order from Xuan Bing was for Bu Xiangfeng. He was sent to join the battle with his subordinates.
Xuan Bing knew that Meng Youjiang made the right decision, but it was too dangerous. The Monarch’s Hall was improving fast. It was true. However, the Hall of Returning Nature was the most powerful force in the Limitless Ocean. She couldn’t be careless!
Meng Youjiang didn’t really dare to have a full-contacted battle. If he sent everybody to the front lines and started a fight on all sides, the Monarch’s Hall would lose its advantage, and the Hall of Returning Nature would get a good opportunity to make use of their strong power. The Hall of Returning Nature wouldn’t hesitate if they had a chance to finish it once and for all.
Things weren’t promising for the Monarch’s Hall!
Meng Youjiang was losing it. He didn’t dare to fight! Things were getting worse!
If the last and the biggest fight started, the Monarch’s Hall would definitely lose!
Xuan Bing wanted Bu Xiangfeng to join the battle as soon as possible because she wanted Bu Xiangfeng to slow down the enemy’s paces.
Xuan Bing was wearing white clothes, walking out of the Hall of Life and Death, staring at Ye Xiao who was still standing still. She was tired.
“Master Chi, I think we need you to go now.” Xuan Bing sighed.
Chihuo nodded. “I see. Should I go now?”
Xuan Bing nodded.
Chihuo and the Flower King were staying in the headquarters, not because they couldn’t leave for the fight, but because they weren’t good enough to change the situation.
Xuan Bing knew that the Hall of Returning Nature had its own Undead Stage cultivators too. Chihuo wasn’t powerful enough to defeat them.
An Undead Stage cultivator like Chihuo was important for any forces. Nobody would allow losing a man like him. As long as Chihuo didn’t show up, the Hall of Returning Nature wouldn’t send their Undead Stage cultivators out as well. In other words, if Chihuo joined the battle, the enemy would send their best men as well!
The Fortress of Trees in the Hall of Life and Death was unbreakable. Everybody knew it, but they were fighting outside. The Hall of Returning Nature had made sure the battle was eight thousand miles away from the Hall of Life and Death!
The Hall of Returning Nature would lose many people, but they would love to lose as many people as it took to draw out all the powerful men of the Monarch’s Hall!
For the Hall of Returning Nature, taking the Monarch’s Hall down was the priority! Nothing else mattered!
“Kill the Monarch’s Hall! The Fortress of Trees of the Hall of Life and Death will be our new headquarters!”
Young Master Meng said it himself in the Hall of Returning Nature.
The Hall of Returning Nature was making continual waves of attacks. The Monarch’s Hall had to send more men out to support their people.
The Monarch’s Hall had to jump in the trap!
“Lady Xuan Bing, I am willing to go to the front lines. However, there is one thing we must know. We are losing this battle.” Chihuo took a deep breath and said, “When I leave, you should seal the Fortress of Trees. If we fail, don’t let anybody get in! Otherwise, the entire Monarch’s Hall is ruined.”
Xuan Bing gritted her teeth and nodded. “I see.”
She looked at Ye Xiao, and she was determined.
Ye Xiao had spent so much to build this place. She couldn’t let it get ruined.
Chihuo looked at Ye Xiao and made a helpless sigh.
“In fact, when Lord Monarch came back, he said it. We are improving fast, but we are still much weaker than those influential forces. I feel like I can still hear his words resounding in my ears. Look at us now… It happened too soon.”
