“Why did you come? Why don’t you keep lying?” Ye Yunduan hysterically shouted at the others. “Why do you have to play me around like this? Do you even enjoy it?”
“Certainly not. It is boring to fool a useless man like you. It really has been a pain to stay with you!” The tall man coldly smiled and said, “Why did we come? Why were we still following you? Why didn’t we leave when those men left? Well. There is still something we have to do…”
He paused and then suddenly shouted at Ye Yunduan fiercely. “Ye Yunduan! Do you remember the forty thousand innocent lives that died in the City of Chaos? Do you remember the forty thousand men of the Brotherhood Alliance?”
The forty thousand men!
Ye Yunduan remembered. When he was encouraged to fight the Brotherhood Alliance, he killed several thousand of their people before they left the city.
He shivered as he thought of it.
He raised up his head and stared at the tall man. “You… Are you…”
“That’s right. I am a brother in the Brotherhood Alliance. Do you remember what you owe us now? Heh heh… Blood for blood.” The man looked so angry. “Ye Yunduan, it is too easy for you if I just kill you with one saber attack. That isn’t enough to avenge our fallen brothers!”
Ye Yunduan took three steps back. His face turned pale.
“I was sent to join the Great Ye Army. I have stayed on your side only for this moment! You… We wanted you to go against the entire world. We wanted you to be pushed to the end!”
The tall man fiercely said, “We want you to die. We want you to be everybody’s enemy. I know you are a coward who would never end his miserable life. I know that you will live on like a wild dog!”
Ye Yunduan was shaking. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.
“Don’t you agree? You don’t think you are useless? Do you really think that the name of the Heaven’s Leaf could bring you so many superior cultivators? Before you killed our men, maybe you could recruit some men with the great name of the Great Master Ye. After you brutally killed our men, there were only some dishonest people who still dared to join you. You were actually lost in your good dreams. You actually thought you were the chosen one! You truly are good at dreaming!” The tall man laughed and said, “Let me tell you more thing. Forty percent of the superior cultivators you recruited were from the Brotherhood Alliance; thirty percent were from the House of Chaotic Storms and the Xie League; twenty percent were from the Hall of Returning Nature! Only ten percent of your men were really under your command!” After that, he started to laugh again.
“You… You are lying! Zhang Yuan! You are lying! Are you telling me all the superior cultivators on my side are enemies? That is impossible!” Ye Yunduan’s eyes turned red.
“You can’t accept the truth, can you? It is right before your eyes. Do you want to keep living in your stupid dreams? Hah hah hah… Today, I am going to break your dream! That must be entertaining. I don’t mind wasting some time to explain everything!”
Zhang Yuan coldly smiled and said, “When you came to the City of Chaos, you were proved the descendant of the Heaven’s Leaf, and the Seven Lotus Clans started to support you. The Seven Lotus Clans are world-shockingly powerful even without the seven great ancestors. If you were patient enough, step by step, you could have ruled the entire Limitless Ocean!
“Everybody knew it, so the Hall of Returning Nature took the first move. They sent over ten superior cultivators to join you. It was a simple plan. They wanted you to overestimate yourself!
“If you were not too arrogant, you wouldn’t do those stupid things. If you weren’t arrogant, you would listen to the advice of the Seven Lotus Clans! When you just arrived at the City of Chaos, the Hall of Returning Nature gave you the power to make you think you were already a great man. You started to believe that you and your loyal followers are even more powerful than the Seven Lotus Clans.
“You had an illusion… You thought you could rise without the Seven Lotus Clans! You started to believe you were the chosen one!
“You started to neglect the seven clans. You made decisions without telling the seven clans. Well, soon, the men from the Hall of Returning Nature gave you the advice to rule the City of Chaos! That was when you killed our people and drove the Brotherhood Alliance out!
“Why would they do that? First of all, the Brotherhood Alliance and the Seven Lotus Clans were in good relation. The Brotherhood Alliance was very likely going to become your ally! Think about it. For the past one hundred thousand years, the Seven Lotus Clans officially ruled the city, but the Brotherhood Alliance became the most powerful force in the city because the seven clans were supporting them!
“As long as you attacked the Brotherhood Alliance, most of the itinerant cultivators in the world would turn their backs on you. When you decided to start the fight against the Brotherhood Alliance, it was the men of the Hall of Returning Nature who led your people out to kill our brothers!
“Nobody could stop it!
“When there was a chance to negotiate, they intentionally caused further damage to our side. So it was done. Our men were slaughtered. The Great Ye Army became the enemy of all itinerant cultivators!
“After that, our masters arrived. However, there was nothing they could do anymore. Nothing was more important than our forty thousand brothers! In the end, the Brotherhood Alliance left the City of Chaos.
“Our third master knew that somebody set us up. However, if you weren’t so arrogant and stupid, you wouldn’t be used. The Brotherhood Alliance decided to not be associated with you in any form. Not long after that, my brothers and I joined the Great Ye Army. After that, you kicked away the Hall of Returning Nature and the House of Chaotic Storms…
“It is your stupidity which has led you to the present. I pity you because you actually haven’t noticed anything at all. When the House of Chaotic Storms left the city, nobody got hurt. When the Hall of Returning Nature left the city, only a few men got hurt. Think about it! You were so powerful! How could they easily leave the city without anybody getting hurt? They both have their people in your Great Ye Army! In fact, they knew when and how you were going to attack, even better than you did! You were nothing but a complete stupid puppet!”
