1923

Ye Xiao quietly said, “As soon as we finish fighting this war, we’ll go return back to see them. Indeed we should go back and pay respects to Mother-in-law and Father-in-law.”

“En.” The little girl’s faintly red face cuddled into Ye Xiao’s chest. As she watched her guard troops leave, she could hear the sound of Ye Xiao’s heartbeat thumping behind her head, and she felt that she was supremely happy and content.

…

“Monarch’s Hall, prepare for war!”

“Bu Xiangfeng!”

“Subordinate present!”

“Battlefield law enforcement is for you to wield. His words are law, if he orders you go, if he forbids you stop. If you neglect the army commanders, kill without mercy.”

“Yes!”

“Meng Youjiang!”

“Present!”

“Battle Hall subordinates, Dragon, Tiger, Ox, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, these six halls are now under your total authority to command. These will act as the Monarch’s Hall’s main force vanguard!”

“Yes!”

“Chi Huo!”

“Present!”

“The three assassination halls are now under your command to deploy. Your duty is to assault fortified positions and ambush, rigorously take note of the battlefield’s enemy movements…”

“Yes!”

“Flower King! The three information halls are now under your command!”

“Yes!”

…

“Mo Feiyun!”

“Yes!”

“It is up to you to command the Brotherhood’s former subordinates. Continue gathering up the former subordinates of the Brotherhood from all over the world. You are our reinforcements, you will reside in the middle to support, and use your discretion to attack!”

“Yes!”

“Qiu Luo, White Dragon, Black Demon, Seven Stars!”

“Present!”

“You will wait and follow by my side, together we’ll campaign across the Human Realm!”

“Yes!”

The vigor and imposing manner of the Monarch’s Hall broke through the skies at this moment!

It really is already not just one cry, but one cry to startle the world; already not just flying, but soaring!

Everyone in the Monarch’s Hall was regarded as an individual, and everyone had prepared for a long time. Their body strength had already been promoted and arrived to a height that even they were unable to imagine. Even now that the day had come and they had been assigned as subordinates to their leaders, if they weren’t excited and joyful, then they had just seen a ghost!

Mo Feiyun quietly arrived at Ye Xiao’s side.

After entering the Monarch’s Hall, Mo Feiyun was anxious all along. Originally, he didn’t know whether or not the main part of the Brotherhood that followed him would be treated as cannon fodder.

However, hearing Ye Xiao’s arrangement come to an end, Mo Feiyun felt a bit of an uneasy and oily feeling in his heart.

“Sir Monarch.”

“En?”

“Regarding Sir Monarch’s arrangements… The Brotherhood’s strength still has quite a few components… Merely serving as support in the middle is, generally speaking, not sufficient to let us really show our strength. Sir Monarch, is it possible to show some consideration to us… This, our brothers all feel in our hearts that you regard us as important and care about us. In light of this, we think that your care should let us put in our utmost mental and physical efforts, and then and only then is it good…”

“Feiyun, you really think too much. The missions I assigned were only for assigning the Monarch’s Hall’s brothers, not for giving missions to another faction of people!” Ye Xiao said in a heavy voice.

“Yes!” Mo Feiyun was apprehensive in his heart.

Since he had commanded the Brotherhood’s many brothers to attach oneself to the Monarch’s Hall, there was still a strong division between the Monarch’s Hall and the Brotherhood. Sure enough, it was a big dread that Ye Xiao was currently pointing out rather bluntly. On the one hand, he was drawing attention to his aspiration, and on the other hand he was actually giving advice to himself. He didn’t want to make a similar offending error again, and his mentality still had problems since the last time!

“Furthermore, residing in the middle to support… is the same as entrusting you with a heavy responsibility.” Ye Xiao said, “You need to understand that the enemy we are facing is the very strongest enemy under this sky! Moreover, we aren’t limited to only one side’s enemy.”

“At least in my opinion, residing in the middle to support is actually the most challenging and hardest job of the utmost importance. To carry out the responsibility in between, you not only have to control the overall situation and accurately analyze current events, but you also have to be ready to attack at any moment, constantly playing a supporting role. There cannot be the slightest bit of disorder emerging!

Even further, you cannot be affected by whatsoever bit of chaos that might influence your proper decision. In particular, when you need to support by attacking, you usually are confronted with a situation where we are precisely on the verge of utter defeat! If we on the front lines stay at the apex, how would you need to take the chance to attack and support? On the other hand, during the time when we actually need your assistance to attack, it would seriously be a life or death live or die juncture.”

“Even this isn’t the most challenging, most arduous place. You must know that other people are only concentrating on one side, engrossed in oneself as the protagonist. But you, on the contrary, are observing not only the whole battlefield but also the entire war situation! At any time you must be capable of issuing an analysis and judgement, to give the most timely and effective assistance!” Ye Xiao said, “In this kind of atmosphere, you naturally need an old schemer with deep calculating ability. This person must have ample war experience, and even further must be absolutely calm, wise, and farsighted. Then and only then can they be up to the task!”

“Taking a broad view of our Monarch’s Hall, there are only four people who have these kind of qualifications, and no more. Me, Flower King, Xuan Bing, and… you!”

“Flower King has another important position to be in, and Xuan Bing must also be with me at my side. As a result, you, Feiyun, became this link’s sole and only candidate! Naturally, apart from your aptitude in this position, I also believe that you would be even more skilled at the job of commanding the original Brotherhood’s former subordinates. You’re absolutely the most suitable for the job compared to anyone else.

Ye Xiao’s vision was deep as he looked at Mo Feiyun. “Feiyun, you’re shouldering a heavy burden, I don’t want you to disappoint me!”

Mo Feiyun’s spirit was suddenly roused. “Yes!”

…

“A large quantity of the Monarch’s Hall’s manpower has already moved out of the tree fortress one by one!”

“The Monarch’s Hall, headed by Ye Xiao, has already surpassed ninety percent or more of the manpower having left the tree fortress. Soon after, they then scattered and went. Apparently they had prepared long ago and already had each person’s target location set, because the whole process took way too short of a duration, to the extent that we were incapable of following their trail…”

This information rapidly spread out to the four side skies and also the House of Chaotic Storms!

“The Monarch’s Hall’s main component of their manpower, how strong are they?”

What the Sky Kings were paying attention to the most was still those final four words.

“According to the former information, the Monarch’s Hall, after fighting with the Hall of Returning Nature on that day, had their strength acutely extinguished. The whole hall’s manpower only counted around 110 at the peak of that. The upper limit was also just six or seven thousand people, even though they had holed up in the Life and Death Hall’s tree fortress for some years. Therefore, their actual strength assessment was directly not that high. Even when they came into contact with the Hall of Returning Nature as a Jianghu organization it was not much different from breaking a halberd in heavy sand. When this point came down, even if their comprehensive strength had been somewhat raised, how much would they be able to improve… But just now, the main portion of their manpower appeared in an instant, and the image painted could be said to be one of horror. Altogether the Monarch’s Hall had less than 10,000 people, but included among these people were Undead Stage cultivators… just 5,000 or more of them!”

“Other than that, fewer than 3,000 were Eternal Life Stage cultivators, but not a single person had a strength lower than level 9 peak.”

“The remaining people had an even higher cultivation level, and our subordinates were unable to put out accurate readings…”

“To sum up, the Monarch’s Hall’s actual battle strength that they possess by far exceeds imagination. In the end, its inside information has arrived at an unusual level, exciting a person to hear it!”

Similar information to each of the four side Sky Kings caused them all to simultaneously shiver and change color!

More than 5,000 Undead Stage experts?

5,000?

Even if it was one side sky, wouldn’t it be pretty good if they could gather together such a huge lineup of Undead Stage cultivators?!

One tiny Monarch’s Hall, however, managed to possess this strong of a strength? How was this possible?

If they seriously had this kind of strength, then how was it possible for them to be so oppressed by the Hall of Returning Nature on that day!

Again thinking one layer deeper, if this lineup seriously was the survivors from that battle those years ago who had been promoted to a higher position, this, this already wasn’t just exciting someone just to hear it, but was a horror of ten thousand accusations, enough to shake the heart and move the soul! Deranged, even?

Never mind, that already isn’t the current important point, the current important point is…

If this portion of strength enters the battlefield, and if they’re on the opposite side of us…

In view of this, all the parties immediately convened their own urgent conferences, discussing their response and tactics. Everyone’s faces were grave, each and every person looking as if a big rival had arrived!

…

Ye Xiao quietly said, “As soon as we finish fighting this war, we’ll go return back to see them. Indeed we should go back and pay respects to Mother-in-law and Father-in-law.”

“En.” The little girl’s faintly red face cuddled into Ye Xiao’s chest. As she watched her guard troops leave, she could hear the sound of Ye Xiao’s heartbeat thumping behind her head, and she felt that she was supremely happy and content.
