Ye Xiao stood up without making a sound, and he was ready to go.
Bu Xiangfeng was terrified. He said, “Lord Monarch, you can’t go now. The enemy is too powerful!”
“Powerful?” Ye Xiao looked at him and said, “How powerful are they, compared to you?”
“I am afraid those are all great cultivators in top levels. I can feel it from the energy flow. Any one of them is much stronger than me…” Bu Xiangfeng bitterly smiled and said, “I could kill one if I give up my life to fight… I could try… but most likely, I would get killed instantly.”
Ye Xiao said, “You are the best we have in the Monarch’s Hall, and you would probably get instantly killed. The Monarch’s Hall is never going to survive a fight against those people. I am going, because that is what I should do. If not, the Monarch’s Hall is already dead before the fight begins.”
After that, he left without hesitation.
It seemed he was quite at leisure, and he looked calm and steady.
Bu Xiangfeng watched Ye Xiao’s back and got shocked and impressed.
The Monarch knew that it was hopeless, yet he was still casual, confident, and calm. That was extraordinary!
At this moment, somebody shouted loudly, “Guan, Song, Ju, and Yun, show yourselves now!”
An angry shout responded to it, and it was Meng Youjiang talking, “Who is it? Who is yelling? How dare you? Nobody plays tough in the Monarch’s Hall!”
Ye Xiao was worried, so he moved over fast.
Whoever came to the Monarch’s Hall, they came fiercely. That couldn’t be a friend of the Monarch’s Hall. Meng Youjiang wasn’t weak, but compared to these people, he was just a shrimp. If a fight broke out, Meng Youjiang would be killed within five steps.
As Ye Xiao expected, somebody got hurt. Ye Xiao had just accelerated, he already heard the sound of a fight. Soon, somebody groaned.
Ye Xiao flew over and saw Meng Youjiang falling down, spitting out blood. He got hit and flew back toward Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao rushed forward and held Meng Youjiang with his arms, but the blast had hit him through Meng Youjiang’s flying body. The attack that hit Meng Youjiang still had an aftereffect.
Ye Xiao could let go of Meng Youjiang and get away from it, but in that case, Meng Youjiang would definitely die!
How could he? He made a shout and forcibly resisted the power from the attack in full power.
Although he was already at level six of the Dream Origin Stage, he was severely blasted by that powerful attack, but Meng Youjiang was safe in his arms. He felt like getting shocked by a bolt of lightning and then spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.
There was no time to check himself. He hurriedly took out a dan bead and put it into Meng Youjiang’s mouth. Meng Youjiang was groaning and then spat out a mouthful of blood again. As he opened his eyes, he couldn’t stand up by himself anymore. He didn’t look like a tough man as he used to be anymore.
From the moment Ye Xiao moved to the time Meng Youjiang got hit, it was just a few seconds. It was only one hit in the fight, and Meng Youjiang, a Saint Origin Stage cultivator, got lethally wounded. If Ye Xiao did not come to save and catch him in time before feeding him the dan bead, then Meng Youjiang must have been dead already.
The powerful attack did not only hurt Meng Youjiang but also severely injured Ye Xiao. That was an attack from some incredibly powerful cultivator for sure!
Even though Ye Xiao knew how unbelievably powerful the enemy was, he wasn’t afraid. He did not step back but angrily rushed forward instead!
“Stop!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood again and shouted at Rong Ke’er, who had been moving forward to the enemy.
Ye Xiao got severely hit, and he was badly injured. He didn’t have time to eat the dan beads yet, so he spat out blood again and again.
The enemy was too powerful. No matter how many people Ye Xiao had, they couldn’t win this fight. The Monarch’s Hall people were like a bunch of ants fighting against a giant tree. If they kept fighting, none of them could survive!
What mattered the most at the moment was to stop them from getting killed!
Ye Xiao gave an order, and the others all stopped. Rong Ke’er ran over to Meng Youjiang instead and helped him up. “Youjiang, how do you feel?”
Meng Youjiang smiled bitterly and said, “I just ate the dan bead Lord Monarch gave me… I am going to live… Don’t worry.”
His voice was so weak. There was no power in it anymore.
Rong Ke’er was shedding tears with a heartbreak… She turned around, looking at the enemy with flame in both eyes.
There were over twenty people who came to attack. In the middle of them, it was a young man who was in white clothes. The two guys who stayed on each side must be his guards.
The four guards were in black clothes with a pair of sharp eyes on a calm face. On their sleeve, there was a pattern of a leaf that showed their identity. They were from the Great Ye Clan!
Behind them, there were three old men in oversized robes, who had white and long beards. They were standing there. They were calm and steady like a mountain. After that, there were over ten people in different styles. These men were all powerful and great cultivators!
“Who did this?” Ye Xiao stood straight up, with a pair of cold eyes, and asked coldly.
Before anybody answered the question, there was the sound of a cloth flapping in the air. Master Guan and the others arrived at this place. The four old men didn’t come alone. They had brought all the members of their clans as well. All these people arrived and immediately occupied the place.
It was crowded all of a sudden.
Almost eighty percent of the people in the Monarch’s Hall were from the four clans. As they all showed up, the rooms in the Monarch’s Hall were all empty.
Master Guan and the other three old men showed a complicated expression. They looked at the three old men on the other side while the other three were looking back at them. Nobody talked.
“My guard did that.” The young man who stood in the middle coldly smiled and raised his head. In his eyes, there was only sneer. He looked at Ye Xiao and said, “What is this? Do you have a problem? You are a fake!”
Ye Xiao looked at the domineering young man with a pair of sharp eyes. In a cold voice, he said, “A fake? I have many titles. People give me many names. I am not surprised by any of them, except this. It doesn’t seem to be right. May I ask… To whom am I a fake? Or if I put it this way… Who on earth should I bother to pretend?”
“Oh, that aside.” Ye Xiao’s eyes shined with pushing cold lights and he said, “I don’t care who you are. I don’t care who is behind you. I don’t care what you come here for. I need an explanation from you since you’re the guy who bullied my man!”
“Hah hah hah…” The young man reacted like it was the most hilarious joke he had ever heard. He was laughing and then said, “An explanation? You want me to give you an explanation? You actually want me to give you an explanation! Really? Hah hah hah…”
Ye Xiao’s eyes were sharp and he blandly said, “Are you not going to give me one?”
“Give you one?” The young man sneered and said, “Why should I? Who do you think you are? You are just a shameless, contemptible, and pathetic liar! Who are you that I should give an explanation to? Come on. You are exposed. Hurry up! Find something that can cover your embarrassment. Why waste your time on asking some explanation that you could never get? You are such a moron!”
Ye Xiao nodded and then his eyes turned red. He shouted and said, “If you want to condemn somebody. You can always find out a charge. If you want to offend somebody, you better think of a good reason first! I guess only a stronger power can bring justice! If you don’t want to give me an explanation, I guess I have to take it on my own! Let’s see who is a moron!”
After that, he made a long shout with anger and grudge.
“No, don’t…” Master Guan hastily shouted to Ye Xiao.
A white shadow flashed over as if something had just gone through the barrier between time and space. A long stream of white light flashed right before all those powerful cultivators’ eyes.
“Meow!”
Everybody heard a clear sound of a cat that didn’t seem to be fierce at all.
It shocked them.
That was something beyond everybody’s recognition…
On that white-clothes young man’s shoulder, there was a white and small cat, which was just as big as a man’s fist. It looked so adorable!
However, the cat was doing something the least adorable in the world.
One of his claws was glittering with cold light, and it was right on that young man’s throat!
Its sharp claw was sticking into the young man’s throat. It pierced through his throat, and the vein on his throat was right in its hand. The cat looked so weak, but everybody knew that it had grabbed the main artery of the young man’s throat.
Nobody would doubt that the cat could easily kill this young man by slightly pulling its claw out and cut his throat! No matter how powerful the young man was, he wouldn’t escape death!
Everybody was shocked.
‘Where did the cat come from? When did it appear? When did it make its move? How did it go across a long distance and reach the young man’s throat? The man’s life is in its hands!’
Nobody, no matter how powerful these people were, had seen how Erhuo did it.
The blood stained the young man’s throat, which looked frightening.
His facial expression immediately changed. His arrogance was gone.
What was on his face was calmness and coldness.
It seemed like he didn’t care about the blood and the claw on his throat.
Perhaps, when things had become dangerous like this, the descendant of the Great Ye Clan finally revealed who he was to the public.
“I have a word for you. Do not move.” Ye Xiao coldly said, “My cat… This little cat… is unbelievably timid, and it has an ill temper. If you made any reckless moves, the little thing would take it as a threat, and it will do whatever it feels like doing, which could be really cruel.”
“For instance, it may just tear your throat.” Ye Xiao blandly said with both of his eyes glittering in a cold light.
The young man in white clothes looked at the cat on his shoulder, and he started to smile warmly. “What a lovely pet. How much did you pay for it? Is it for sale? Would you like to sell it to me?”
The descendant of the Great Ye Clan was truly an extraordinary figure. His life was in danger, yet he still had a good mood to try to buy the cat from the enemy.
Was he too bold or too arrogant?
Ye Xiao laughed and said, “For sale? I am sorry. According to what I know about this spiritual animal, nobody in the Human Realm Upon Heavens could afford its price, not to mention you!”
The young man smiled and said, “Well, just say a price. I don’t think there is anything too expensive for my clan, the Great Ye Clan!”
Everybody else nodded. The Great Ye Clan had left the martial world for one hundred thousand years. They must have accumulated a huge fortune during those years. There was no pet that the Great Ye Clan could afford!
Ye Xiao said, “I don’t see why I should care about what clan you are from. The Great Ye Clan, so what? To be honest, even the five sky kings together can buy this little thing from me!”
As Ye Xiao said so, everybody was surprised. The young man had spoken of the name of his clan, and his clan was not weaker than any of the five sky kings. What Ye Xiao said was even domineering. ‘Your clan is as powerful as one of the sky kings, perhaps, but the five sky kings together cannot buy my cat!’
In fact, Ye Xiao wasn’t lying. Erhuo was powerful, and it had an incredible background. Since Erhuo started to follow Ye Xiao, it had been the most powerful support. It made supreme dan beads. It helped Ye Xiao with his cultivation and saved him from danger several times. It was an important part of Ye Xiao’s life. The five sky kings together couldn’t take Erhuo away from him, not to mention just a clan!
He had all the reasons to refuse it.
Ye Xiao knew it. The readers of the novel knew it. However, nobody else, especially not the men on the young man’s side knew any of it. Even the Monarch’s Hall people didn’t believe it!
The Great Ye Clan was more than a great clan. The five sky kings were the most powerful men in the world. Ye Xiao clamored just because of a cat, and it was obviously a dishonest lie to them!
Erhuo, who felt delighted at the moment, felt really happy about this moment. ‘Well, that is the truth! Who am I? The five stupid sky kings and the so-called Great Ye Clan are way below my league! How could he ask to buy me? What a moron!’
The young man was a little surprised, but then he said, “I see. It seems Master Ye is getting quite well along with this little cat. Forget it then. By the way, your arrogance is going to an extreme…”
Ye Xiao half-closed his eyes and said, “Am I arrogant or not? Oh, that is none of your business, and it doesn’t matter right now. Let’s talk about something that matters. Who bullied my man? Please show yourself. You don’t want innocent men to get hurt because of you, do you? I really want to know what kind of powerful cultivator dares to swagger in my place!” 123
Ye Xiao stood up without making a sound, and he was ready to go.
Bu Xiangfeng was terrified. He said, “Lord Monarch, you can’t go now. The enemy is too powerful!”
“Powerful?” Ye Xiao looked at him and said, “How powerful are they, compared to you?”
“I am afraid those are all great cultivators in top levels. I can feel it from the energy flow. Any one of them is much stronger than me…” Bu Xiangfeng bitterly smiled and said, “I could kill one if I give up my life to fight… I could try… but most likely, I would get killed instantly.”
