“It makes me sigh. I didn’t really support his opinion but I should. It appears that the tens of thousands of years in my life didn’t give me great views. I just reached the Undead Stage, and I was lost in arrogance…” Chihuo smiled bitterly and said, “Oh… If Lord Monarch is with us now, we may have a chance to win… Gosh!”
He made a long sigh.
He wasn’t the only one who became complacent about the fast improvement. People in the Monarch’s Hall had all improved fast. Even the weakest ones, the least talented ones, had improved greatly.
Ye Xiao had given them some good martial arts, and that only made them even more complacent.
Everybody in the Monarch’s Hall felt so good. They only respected their own people in the Monarch’s Hall, nobody else.
They all knew it could be just an illusion, but they just couldn’t resist it. They were lost!
Ye Xiao had warned them, but they didn’t listen. When the enemies came, they finally woke up. They realized that the Monarch’s Hall wasn’t strong enough at all…
If Ye Xiao wasn’t lost in his own cultivation, he might lead the Monarch’s Hall to victory.
People of the Monarch’s Hall had faith in him!
Maybe they were blind, but they truly were filled with admiration for the young Lord Monarch. Nobody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens could surpass this young man!
Things could be unexpected sometimes.
Before the big war started, Ye Xiao was lost in his own cultivation. He was totally blocked!
He just stood there for three months without moving!
When they faced the Hall of Returning Nature for the first time, they were confident because they believed their great Lord Monarch would come back in a few days. Besides, they thought they were powerful enough to deal with the enemy’s attacks!
The problem was… It wasn’t as they expected, was it? As time went by, the Hall of Returning Nature was winning. They finally realized how powerful the enemy was. Ye Xiao didn’t come back!
It was an extremely dangerous moment for the Monarch’s Hall!
If not, why would Xuan Bing send out all the good men to the battle?
The Poison King had done a great job by poisoning three groups of superior cultivators, so the enemy didn’t dare to attack anymore… That was lucky…
The Monarch’s Hall was empty. That was the worst situation.
The Flower King was still at the headquarters with Xuan Bing and the other two ladies. That was all. The others all went for the fight!
If Ye Xiao was here, he wouldn’t allow it. He wouldn’t send all of their men out for battle.
However, he wasn’t with them. Things happened when he was absent.
Chihuo didn’t say more words. He became a flash of flaming light and disappeared in the sky.
People of the Guardian Hall went with him.
Xuan Bing watched Chihuo off, and she was worried.
The Fortress of Trees was an empty place. Yue Shuang, Yue Han, the Flower King, and Xuan Bing stayed with Ye Xiao. That was all!
It was great that Ye Xiao was going to have a breakthrough.
However, it was just a bad time.
It was a bad time for the Monarch’s Hall, and it was unlucky for them all.
Nobody said anything and just sighed.
Before Ye Xiao was lost in the breakthrough, nothing happened. When he was gone, and the leaders in the Monarch’s Hall all cheered for him, the enemies attacked.
The Hall of Returning Nature didn’t plan this. It was just a coincidence. It was unlucky for the Monarch’s Hall, and nobody knew what to do anymore! In fact, the Hall of Returning Nature panicked as well!
Ye Xiao was in his personal world, having a breakthrough. If somebody tried to wake him up, it would only impede his breakthrough!
Everybody knew it was a bad idea.
…
Xuan Bing looked at the flowers grow and fall again and again. It had been snowing for three months. She looked in the distance and saw the entire city buried in the white snow. She was worried.
“Master Flower King…” Xuan Bing said.
The Flower King shook his head and said, “I am not going. I promised Lord Monarch. If I am going to die, I must die for something valuable.
“Lord Monarch gave me my second life. I will spend my life to protect him, his beloved ones, and his Monarch’s Hall. If he can’t make it back in time, I will die protecting you.
“Death doesn’t frighten me. I can’t break my words.”
Ye Xiao told the Flower King that he should always protect Xuan Bing and the two ladies. Nothing else mattered!
Xuan Bing wanted him to join the battle.
The Flower King refused.
The enemy was well prepared. If he went, he would die with the others. The enemy would make it to the headquarters of the Monarch’s Hall sooner or later. He decided to stay because he wanted to keep the ladies safe.
His last attack would be the Ten-thousand Flowers Withering. Before he could do the last attack, nobody could hurt the ladies.
He promised Ye Xiao.
He must keep his words!
