Ye Hongchen slowly broke into a smile, saying in an unhurried manner, “That person disturbing the situation is difficult to distinguish, so for the time being let’s set that aside. Right now, how do we feel about the display of the later generations of each family?”
As usual, across a whole 25 people, every one of them was actually looking ashamed. This one looked at that one, that one looked at another one, and unexpectedly not one of them spoke.
Finally, Yun Duanlu lightly sighed. “Some people, could possibly become our side’s powerful and influential people; we also have people who could become a trusted aide and servant… But speaking of startling talents who are matchless and colorful, a ruling tyrant protagonist who is capable of carrying a big beam… Unexpectedly, we don’t have any.”
“What do you mean we don’t have any, I know one. I recognized it from the first day I met him and admire him immensely!” Yue Youyou stated.
“Who? It’s unexpected that we have this kind of significant ability…” Guan Shanyao asked, but came to realize after a time. He sighed and said, “I can only pity that little guy… he absolutely can’t participate in today’s chaotic situation.”
Ye Hongchen faintly smiled, saying, “Therefore, however today’s chaotic situation finally turns out, we actually don’t need to re-evaluate. Just as I said, this time when we once again overlook the region, the most important thing is meeting this crowd of old brothers again, everyone else should just relax well. Talking about this big battle for days on end and so on… I really don’t think it’s necessary, is it really that essential?!”
“Big Brother Ye?!” everyone burst out, stupefied.
No one could believe that Ye Hongchen would actually say a sentence like this at this time. It genuinely shattered the earth and shocked the sky!
Ye Hongchen indifferently said, “We this crowd of brothers have separated for such a long time. We should be drinking wine and reminiscing. This talk of charging and breaking through the enemy lines, risking our lives, why should we be troubled over this? This storm is covering the whole world in wind and clouds. We already disrupted a pond of spring water, this is sufficient. If we make an effort to add to this, it wouldn’t be as beautiful!”
“We don’t understand Big Brother Ye’s meaning,” Qi Tiangong said, bewildered.
“Since the five regions want to go to war, they are pressuring our borders with their great armies. We certainly have to pull out soldiers to interfere with them, as escaping battle has never been my, Ye Hongchen’s, style!” Ye Hongchen was unhurried as he spoke. “However… war also has the style and method of a battle. We must not want to have the kind of military strategy that risks it all.”
“Us dragging it out is just fine…”
“If we drag it out enough that the whole world is in great chaos, we may just be able to succeed in withdrawing out of it.”
Ye Hongchen slightly smiled. “Once we arrive at that time, we will naturally have people who will come out to clean up the aftermath.”
“Have people? Who?” everyone questioned closely.
“I can’t say, I can’t say!” Ye Hongchen laughed mischievously, smiling what could be called the authentic smile of a wily old politician.
“Actually, as early as a hundred thousand years ago, I was already planning how, during the time when we again showed ourselves in the region, we would inevitably shock the entire world! It was inevitable to want to overturn the whole Human Realm Upon Heavens. However… a hundred thousand years later, today, I only want to meet with my old brothers and gossip as we drink wine.”
Ye Hongchen said, “Nevertheless, we still must fight this war. Those five guys clearly bullied us by not allowing us to prepare. How would it be okay if we didn’t give them a bit of a difficult time and make them be afraid of Big Mister Ye like they should?”
Therefore, in the middle of the hearty laughter of this group of old foxes, they each and every one planned the combat, rapidly formulating out a plan.
At the Ye Family forces location, though, they were still noisy and chaotic in the midst of their frantic bewilderment.
“We have no inheritors, ah!”
After the twenty odd people separated, they simultaneously hid themselves and watched how the Ye Family forces scrambled around in disorder. They all sighed at the same time by chance.
Ye Hongchen’s ice-cold tranquil eyes gazed at the place where the Ye Family forces were. He faintly said, “Blood overflowing will reveal the qualities of a hero! Cleaning off the yellow sand will reveal the resplendent yellow gold!”
“If one succeeds, he will be king. If he fails, he will be a bandit. Since ancient times it has been thus, and nowadays it still is. Since we have set foot on this road, we have to face every possible mental preparation.”
“This is precisely the Jianghu, this is precisely the whole world!”
“And see these people, see who yet will be able… to finally remain!”
…
Although the Ye Family forces were presented as confused and chaotic, their currently gathered manpower was nevertheless truly not few.
In the day and age of the Ye Family forces officially unifying the Limitless Ocean, the manpower of the Ye Family subordinates exceeded several million.
And, when the Ye Family’s high level’s talked once from personal experience, swaying opinions, they had actually caused each and every one of their subordinates to get fired up, their morale surging high.
Riches and honor could be sought in the middle of danger. We just have to establish a Ye Clan kingdom, going from the subject of the dragon to the founders of a state!
This is somewhat enticing!
In a few short days, each respective organization had unexpectedly already faintly formed their military strength.
One couldn’t help but say that right now, in the Ye Family forces, the talented military strategists were truly not few!
Compared with the energetic war preparations of the admittedly chaotic but actually having high fighting spirit’s Ye Family forces, Ye Xiao’s side was actually packed with free and unconstrained spirit.
However as a matter of fact, it wasn’t the entire Hall that was collectively leisurely and carefree from top to bottom. Those who should play, live, and practice cultivating were still playing, living and cultivating. But, the Monarch’s Hall’s Snake Hall, Rat Hall, Rabbit Hall and Dog Hall had already gone out of the Monarch’s Hall, throwing themselves into the Limitless Ocean.
These four halls each had the labor divided. Rat and Rabbit Halls were in charge of information gathering, Snake Hall’s purpose was to snipe and assassinate their targets, and Dog Hall followed as the master management to follow the trails of their missions.
Although the current chaos temporarily didn’t relate to us at all, and we had no intention to mix into the fight, we nevertheless needed to grasp the current first-hand information as clearly as possible.
If not, then how would we be capable of doing the most appropriate thing when the wind and clouds came to the current Jianghu, and how would we have the most effective deployment arrangement?
These four big halls had released a total manpower of 1500 people. As far as the Limitless Ocean was concerned, this was nothing more than a few drops of rainwater falling into a boundless ocean, and it was simply not able to give rise to any sort of big repercussions.
However, the significance of the Monarch’s Hall’s movement was nevertheless completely different.
Along with accepting the information that the four big halls sent back every day, the Monarch’s Hall had the most direct observation of the daily changes in the Limitless Ocean’s chaotic situation. It was seriously panicking at the slightest movement and treating each grass or tree as an enemy soldier.
The Monarch’s Hall’s personnel who had stayed behind also naturally smelled the scent of the arriving war. Because of this, Ye Xiao didn’t have to urge them again, they had all had a rise in their drive. Playing and living were also similarly practicing!
One could already predict that the war situation this time was unable to be prevented, and it would be a world class super grand war. At any time, it was possible for a destructive military campaign to appear, and it was even more possible that this world would vanish in an ultimate battle between powerhouses at the summit. In this kind of atmosphere, it was an accomplishment to even act as an observer, as someone standing around and watching would still need to have a nearly equivalent body strength. Don’t mention the Monarch’s Hall’s encampment in the Chaotic City, like the Ye Family forces’ original encampment, if they didn’t have sufficient strength, it would be bringing disaster to the innocent bystanders, an unexpected calamity!
“Preparing the arrangements for combat related matters, we only need two or three people from each Hall to listen to the orders in person, and then conveying it to the next person is fine! What are you assembling each and every person here for?” The War Hall Head Meng Youjiang’s rage shocked the earth. “You still aren’t leaving to practice, do you want to arrive on the battlefield and wait to die, ah?!”
“What are you all doing? Do you think that since you entered the Law Enforcement Hall you don’t need to practice anymore?” Bu Xiangfeng’s violent rage rebuked. “Look at you, seeming like the conduct of an idiot goose, don’t you know what this big war signifies!? This indeed relates to the shuffling of the cards for the entire Human Realm Upon Heavens, and will determine the future structure! Right now, with your tiny cultivation bases, you would only manage to be cannon fodder. You still don’t seize the time to promote yourself, are each and every one of you just idle laborers gossiping? I might as well beat you to death and let you arrive underground to chat, that would be okay! It would avoid giving you a chance to be a disgrace to the Origin Hall!”
Two Law Enforcement Hall members who had just broken through a moment ago had just left, and had coincidentally run into each other. They had just planned to say a few sentences to each other and exchange some of their cultivation insights, but instead they were directly scolded by Bu Xiangfeng and sent scurrying like mice, covering their heads.
