The dragons and the phoenix had stayed in the Monarch’s Hall for quite some days. During those days, a lot had happened in the martial world, outside the Monarch’s Hall.
The men of the Hall of Returning Nature who came to attack the Monarch’s Hall were elites, led by three powerful men of the Dark Hall Department. They thought it was an easy job. Unexpectedly, they lost many men when trying to break the protective power formation of the Hall of Life and Death. More surprisingly, they encountered the powerful cultivators from the dragon clan and the phoenix clan.
The three leaders were seriously injured, and nearly twenty thousand men were slaughtered in the battle. All these men’s souls were dead.
If Prime Minister Yu didn’t interfere, none of them could survive the massacre.
The news spread fast in the Limitless Ocean and the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
‘No wonder the Monarch’s Hall didn’t fight back. They were waiting for supports…’
The Hall of Returning Nature people were frustrated. ‘Come on, brother! You should have told us that you have such powerful clans backing you up… If you told us earlier, nobody in the Limitless Ocean would dare to challenge you!’
People were so surprised. They didn’t understand how Ye Xiao made the kings of the dragon clan and phoenix clan come to help him. Over half of their clans’ top force had come to the city and killed the men of the Hall of Returning Nature… How powerful was the young man?
It truly was unbelievable.
The Hall of Returning Nature wasn’t just some ordinary organization. Meng Wuzhen was the crown prince of the West Sky. The dragon clan and the phoenix clan were a challenge to the West Sky King’s prestige!
How come Ye Xiao had the two kings of the clans to fight for him?
The crown prince of the West Sky, Meng Wuzhen, gritted his teeth. When the dragons and phoenixes were in the Monarch’s Hall, Meng Wuzhen didn’t dare to do anything in response!
He had to hold down the anger and wait for opportunities.
In fact, even without the support of the dragons and phoenixes, Meng Wuzhen wasn’t sure he could break the protection of the fortress of trees. If he attacked the fortress forcibly, he would lose more people. In fact, the arrival of the dragons and phoenixes gave Meng Wuzhen a reason to retreat!
In the House of the Chaotic Storms.
Master Bai heard the news. He laughed. “Meng Wuzhen is a lucky man. The dragons and phoenixes actually saved his men…”
Wan’er and Xiu’er were confused. “The arrival of the two clans obviously got a lot of his men killed. If Prime Minister Yu didn’t show up, those men were all going to die. Why is Meng Wuzhen lucky? How? Wasn’t it a disaster for the Hall of Returning Nature?”
Master Bai shook his head and said, “You two should have learned more when you were in the lower realms. You were arrogant because you thought you were powerful. What Ye Xiao has done for the fortress of trees is an excellent work. He used the power of the heavens to build that powerful formation… Nobody could break it. The Monarch’s Hall has the final call whether there will be a fight or not. The Hall of Returning Nature had to wait for Ye Xiao to come out. There was nothing they could do about it. Attacking again and again, Meng Wuzhen only lost more men in that stupid fight. Meng Wuzhen had to protect his dignity, so he had to break the protection. They kept trying, but they were dying. When the Hall of Returning Nature’s men died, I would go out and destroy the Hall of Returning Nature!”
Wan and Xiu heard him. They were shocked. Wan’er said, “That sounds great, but don’t you think that things could never be so simple?” Xiu’er looked at Master Bai as well.
They had good reasons to react this way. Master Bai was underestimating his enemies. Things weren’t always as simple as he imagined!
Master Bai laughed. “It is about controlling the enemies and taking control of timings. Meng Wuzhen, Ye Xiao, and I, we are enemies to each other. Ye Xiao and Meng Wuzhen are the worst enemies to each other, and I am the secondary enemy to both of them. Ye Xiao is the weakest, but he has stronger power than we know. He won’t fear for Meng Wuzhen’s attacks. Meng Wuzhen knows how powerful the protection of the fortress of trees is, but he has to break it. The fortress of trees has great power to make counterattacks. As it lasts longer, both sides will get damaged. I will be able to take benefits from both sides! Master Meng will be exhausted, and the Monarch’s Hall is never powerful enough to fight me!
“It sounds like a fantasy, but truly, it is so difficult!”
Wan and Xiu thought for a while. They tried to understand their master. In the end, they both thought Master Bai was brilliant.
Xiu’er said, “Master, you forgot Prime Minister Yu. He stood out to stop the dragons and phoenixes, and I think he would stand out to stop us too. Even if we can take over the Hall of Returning Nature’s territory, we will have to fight against Ye Xiao soon. Ye Xiao can use the power of the dragons and phoenixes. Don’t you worry?”
Master Bai blandly said, “You should respect the top-level cultivators in the world more than you do now. I don’t know why the dragons and phoenixes interfere in the business between the Hall of Returning Nature and the Monarch’s Hall, but I am sure they wouldn’t dare to kill all those men even if Prime Minister Yu didn’t show up. If we were fighting against the Hall of Returning Nature, Prime Minister Yu would never stand out to stop us. The dragons and phoenixes were bullying the Hall of Returning Nature, so Prime Minister Yu had a good reason to stand out. If we were fighting the Hall of Returning Nature, what reason did he have to stop us? He had to protect the dignity of the West Sky. The dragons and the phoenixes truly have saved the Hall of Returning Nature… At the same time, they also bought more time for Ye Xiao! The two clans will never fight against me for Ye Xiao! They just won’t!”
Master Bai was quite certain.
