The old masters had thought of something that the leaders of the Brotherhood Alliance had in mind as well.
The Brotherhood Alliance only sent two leaders to deal with this, including Shangguan Lingxiao, the smartest one. It was obvious. They did not want anybody to play intrigue. If Ye Yunduan was clever enough to slightly give in when Shangguan Lingxiao appeared, things would end in a better away.
Nobody wanted to be used.
When Shangguan Lingxiao arrived, the first thing he did was to stop his brother, the youngest leader. After that, he started to talk to Ye Yunduan and showed respect to the Great Master Ye. He had made a compromise. If Ye Yunduan was clever, things should end quite well. However, Ye Yunduan was stupid and arrogant, so it was ruined. What he said to Shangguan Lingxiao was truly provoking!
It was done.
Shangguan Lingxiao knew that somebody was behind this. He knew that it was a plot, but the Brotherhood Alliance had lost so many people. He couldn’t give in anymore!
Ye Yunduan said it was the rule of the martial world.
The Brotherhood Alliance had no choice but to stand tough!
Ye Yunduan left the Brotherhood Alliance no choice. The Great Ye Army and the Brotherhood Alliance were sworn enemies now!
Shangguan Lingxiao was right. If the Brotherhood Alliance followed the rule of the martial world, things wouldn’t end up like this. The Brotherhood Alliance wouldn’t lose so many people!
In fact, Ye Yunduan did not follow any rules of the martial world at all. He was just using it to explain his improper act as following the rule of the martial world.
What choice did the Brotherhood Alliance have?
Ye Yunduan wanted to follow the rules, and the Brotherhood Alliance had to follow the rules!
Somebody on Ye Yunduan’s side suddenly shouted, “We are strong! We have all these powerful men! They only have two powerful cultivators at the moment! We are going to be enemies, anyway. Why don’t we kill those two men now? That will weaken the Brotherhood Alliance for us!
“That is correct! Shangguan Lingxiao is a powerful man and sparing him will lead to great danger in the future!
“Even if we can’t defeat them, the seven old masters will help us! It should be easy!”
…
People all echoed the opinion in the crowd.
Ye Yunduan’s eyes were glittering. He obviously had that thought in mind.
“Nonsense!” Master Qin couldn’t stand it anymore. He was shaking, and he said, “Shut up, you idiots!”
Shangguan Lingxiao and Peng Zhuiyun looked indifferent. They were standing over the blood, acting like they didn’t hear the voice of the Great Ye Army. They glanced over and looked at the man who talked first.
Ye Yunduan frowned and said in a low voice, “This is a good opportunity to kill the enemies! Why shouldn’t we do it?”
Master Qin talked to him angrily through mind connection. “You idiot! Who do you think they are? Shangguan Lingxiao is an incredibly clever man, and he never takes risks! Do you think he would just come here without any backup plans? He came, so he must have a plan… I am sure if we attack, the City of Chaos will be ruined today!”
Ye Yunduan was shocked. “Really? Is he really that good?”
At this moment, Zhu Zhe’s voice sounded. “Master!”
“Speak!” Shangguan Lingxiao said.
“We have lost thirty-five thousand four hundred and eighty-seven brothers today! Thirteen thousand two hundred and ninety-one brothers are severely injured!” Zhu Zhe was so sorrowful as if his heart was bleeding.
“Take the bodies home! We will bury them in a good place, and we will make no tombstones for them until we avenge them. After that, we will make the tombstones and let the world memorize them! People of the Brotherhood Alliance, let’s leave the City of Chaos. This city is no longer the city we admired!”
Shangguan Lingxiao’s voice was loud and clear.
“Yes! Master!”
Shangguan Lingxiao flew up and stayed in the sky while looking down at the dead bodies on the ground. The dead bodies were all taken into the space rings by the people of the Brotherhood Alliance. Shangguan Lingxiao wept and then made a long shout to the sky.
“We are brothers in the world!”
People of the Brotherhood Alliance responded loudly, “We fight together!”
“We fight together!”
Shangguan Lingxiao shouted and landed on the floor, stepping on the blood. As he walked, he said, “Let’s go!”
Peng Zhuiyun made a shout after that and followed Shangguan Lingxiao off.
People of the Brotherhood Alliance followed the two leaders without any hesitation. They were leaving.
“Master Shangguan, are you leaving just like that?” Ye Yunduan looked cold and indifferent. He stared at Shangguan Lingxiao with fierceness in his eyes.
Shangguan Lingxiao coldly said, “In the Limitless Ocean, wherever it is, I will come and leave as I wish! Nobody has the power to stop me. Master Ye, do you want to try?”
Ye Yunduan wanted to say something, but the old masters stared at him and made him stop. Ye Yunduan smiled and said, “I guess I can trust you. Well, goodbye. We will meet again.”
Shangguan Lingxiao stared at Ye Yunduan for a while and sneeringly smiled. He looked at the young man as if he was just a moron. Shangguan Lingxiao indifferently said, “That’s right. Master Ye. We will.”
“We definitely will meet again!”
Shangguan Lingxiao led his men toward the south gate of the city.
The people of the Brotherhood Alliance walked after him, gritting their teeth silently.
Everybody, including the Brotherhood Alliance people, the Great Ye Army people, the seven clans people, and the others who knew about this battle, all clearly felt the sign of war.
A storm was going to hit the city.
In fact, the storm had been there for quite some time!
Now, it was going to burst!
The wind was howling among the clouds in the sky.
…
While people of the Brotherhood Alliance were moving quietly, Peng Zhuiyun angrily asked Shangguan Lingxiao, “Brother, why didn’t we attack? We could have ended this right here and right now! Why should we retreat? Our brothers are dead!”
Shangguan Lingxiao kept walking, and he answered through mind connection, “The City of Chaos is their place.”
“So what?” Peng Zhuiyun was angry. “I can easily kill them all!”
“Fool!”
Shangguan Lingxiao said, “You and me, we can easily wipe out the entire Great Ye Army. The seven old masters of the seven clans are not too powerful to defeat. We can surely kill Ye Yunduan by just waving one of our hands… However…”
