Chapter 1521: The Plan of the Old Men

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The old man, Song, looked at the yard that was full of blood and flesh, standing right beside Master Guan. He could feel the people in the Monarch’s Hall being united. He slowly said, “Genius!”

Master Guan looked at him and said, “Really?”

“Come on, Old Guan. Stop being pretentious. Look at your face. That big smile on your face is like a huge flower!” Song disdainfully looked at Master Guan and said, “You are gloating! Admit it! Yes, you were right! So what? Stop acting like you are surprised! I feel sick! Your disgusting face makes me want to throw up!”

Master Guan laughed. He didn’t feel angry, just rubbed the beard and said, “Just tell me you are convinced!”

“Yes, I am! I would be lying if I said no!” Song bitterly smiled and said, “To be honest, I nearly ran over to join them... I got that impulse... to create the legend of the Monarch’s Hall with them!”

“You know... I am over seven thousand years old now...” Song bitterly smiled and said, “What he just said actually touched my heart... I was so moved... Those guys are never going to resist it...”

He blinked and said in a low voice, “You were right... They are united. The soul of an army is made!”

Master Guan nodded and kept rubbing his beard. He closed his eyes and nodded proudly.

“The soul of an army... What the young man has done is to give his people the soul of an army! It is extremely valuable!” Song sighed and said, “You know what? The Human Realm Upon Heavens has existed for a long time. Many sects have existed for hundreds of even thousands of years. The armies of the sky kings have been built for hundreds even thousands of years. However, not all of them have the soul of an army! In the Monarch’s Hall, this young man, Master Ye, spent only one day!”

“He started this by giving people a second life, healing their lethal wounds, gathering people up by offering.”

“After that, eventually, within one day, he united these people and made the soul of an army!”

“What a horrible capability!”

“I am impressed! I am convinced!”

“The young man is the most talented and capable youngster that I have ever seen in years!”

Song finished talking, and then made a heavy sigh.

“Why do you sigh if you like him so much?” Master Guan was annoyed. “Isn’t this what we want to see the most?”

Song looked at Master Guan, like looking at a mental patient. After a while, he said, “You idiot. All you know is gloating and gloating! Don’t you see it? He is so powerful that he will have his own men! What does it mean? Don’t you know?”

Master Guan was shocked. His red face turned colorless, and he was silent for a while.

Song sighed and said, “He is so powerful, so talented! There will be no opportunity for our children! Don’t you see it? Are you out of your mind?”

Master Guan was shocked, but he furiously said, “Pah! It is all your fault, bastard! You are too cautious, like a f*cking rat under the ground. You don’t always want to help. You only decided to do something for them when you were sure it wouldn’t hurt your own interests! You wanted his clan to fall because you only wanted to do them a favor while they really needed it... You want to get their trust, and you want the seven clans to be as powerful as before...”

His beard was shaking, and he said, “Now, you know what? You fail! You are idiots, aren’t you? You know that! There is nothing you can do. You don’t even have the chance to show your praise now! Damn it! A great leader like that never has a problem of recruiting his own men! You old bastards! You ruined the future of the young generation of the seven clans!”

Song’s face turned pale. He said, “I didn’t know it would be so fast... It was just one day... We weren’t ready... We didn’t prepare yet... Come on, you have gotten some men of yours into his organization. We...”

Master Guan was still angry, “We? Do you regret it now? Too late! You got no chance now! The Seven Golden Lotuses used to be great! Now what? We don’t even have a chance to be great again! We are worse than ever before.” And then he humphed and left.

Master Song was shocked, and then he came back to his senses, ran over, and grabbed Master Guan. “Damn it... You almost got me... You can’t leave... Old bastard! You lucked out! Do you think you are that good? You old f*cking bastard! I need an explanation! You can’t leave!”

Master Guan was a bit lacking in self-confidence, and he said, “I... Why... Why should I give you an explanation? I have done nothing!”

Song gritted his teeth and turned furious. “You are a cunning old bastard! We made the plan together, and you agreed! How could you blame us for the decision we made together? You have your men in the Monarch’s Hall, and you want to leave us out!”

“I...” Master Guan was going to say something, but Song stopped him. Song said, “Don’t! Let’s see what you have done! You knew he was great, and you didn’t tell us. Fine! Well, you let your own men and their families join the Monarch’s Hall one by one...”

Song’s face nearly turned purple because of the anger. “Look at those men who you have brought into the Monarch’s Hall. They are all at important positions! Think about it! They are all members of Guan Clan! You old f*ckers! The capable youngsters in your own clan have all joined the Monarch’s Hall because of you!”

“Those girls... They are your grandsons’ wives and daughters in law! God damn it... You even let your relatives join the Monarch’s Hall... Your entire family has joined the Monarch’s Hall... You knew he was going to be great!”

“You old bastard! You ate the meat and even drank the soup... Now, you began to blame me? You turned against me?” Song looked at Master Guan. His beard was shaking. He grabbed Master Guan’s collar and shouted, “You want to go, don’t you? Where do you think you are going? Tell me!”

Master Guan was awkward. “Come on, don’t drag my collar... We can’t be seen doing this... This is embarrassing...”

“I don’t care! We are going to turn against each other, so what?” Song was angry. “This is not going to work! How come the Guan Clan can get the benefit?”

Master Guan said angrily, “Get off me! Get off me now! If you don’t let go, I will really turn against you right now... When did I ever plot against you? You... You are... This is unbelievable! Everybody has the right to suspect me! You don’t! Didn’t I talk to you and tell you about the kid? I said all I could think of to convince you, yet you only gave me a few men! You made the bloody mistake! You don’t get to blame me! You are a bastard...”

“I don’t care! You got the benefit to yourself! I am going to tell the other five old guys, and then we will come to you! I wonder if they support you or me!” Song knew that it was his own fault, but he just didn’t want to cave. “I will even ask the Great Ancestor out there to be the judge!”

Mater Guan’s entire face was twisted. He said, “This can’t be more shameless! How can you do this? How contemptible! Fine! Now, just tell me what you want me to do! What do you think I can do? You missed the perfect timing. I don’t get to make decisions in the Monarch’s Hall! What do you think I can do? Come on, Old Song. I tried to convince you. When I let my men join the Monarch’s Hall, you all told me not to. Didn’t I say that this kid seems to be real? Didn’t I tell you that he is good? You didn’t believe me, and you looked down upon me. Are you sure you want to blame me for your own fault?”

Song humphed and said, “I don’t want to talk about that! I just want you to answer the question! What will you do? What should we do? If you want to keep the benefit to yourself, no way!”

Master Guan frowned and said, “Well...”

Song stared at Master Guan, waiting for his answer.

However, what he heard was Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was talking loudly to his people, “The Gray Parasol Sword Sect has done wrong first, and they came to make trouble! It was dishonorable! They don’t have enough land, so they want to snatch ours. Do we have enough land for ourselves?”

“They were right about one thing though. No matter what circumstances in this world, who has the bigger fist has a say. People from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect are dead now. Their place belongs to us! Nobody, not even the Brotherhood Alliance, could interfere!”

“Meng Youjiang!”

“Yes, Master! I am here!”

“Take your men with you, go to the Gray Parasol Sword Sect’s residence in the city. See if there are people we didn’t kill, and kill them if there are. Take over their territory! Whoever stands on your way, start a fight! You don’t need to hesitate!”

“Yes, Master!”

“Brothers of the Department of Battle! Let’s go!”

“Yes! Master!”

...

Song was anxious.

He was a cunning man, so he knew how clever Ye Xiao’s decision was!

The fight just ended, and they didn’t give the fighters some rewards. They continued to take over the enemy’s territory because the most important thing was to save time.

What were they fighting for at the moment?

Territory! They needed more land to expand their power of influence.

Many people hadn’t gotten credits in the fight, because there were not enough enemies for everybody to show their capabilities.

That was why Ye Xiao decided to let them go for the next mission.

When the second mission was completed, this could be ended.

People in the Monarch’s Hall will be rewarded, and he got the territory he needed. The second mission would bring his men an even stronger bond...

Ye Xiao made the decision quickly, without hesitation!

He simply wouldn’t leave any time for other forces to react!

He was such a great leader!

“Come on, make your decision now!” Song talked in a low voice, anxiously urged Master Guan.

“The Monarch’s Hall needs more people... We are too weak...” Master Guan blandly said, “We don’t have enough men, so we are not strong enough... There will be room for more people to come... We need more men, and we need more superior cultivators...”

“There are still opportunities for our younger generation.”

Master Guan looked at Song and humphed. “It is not my decision to make! What I am going to do isn’t the point. What matters is whether you would like to give him the best you old f*ckers have... If you would not, my decision means nothing. Show your attitude!”

Master Guan said it, and Song started to hesitate.

Master Guan squinted at Song and said in a weird tone, “Let me say this again. I am telling you now, so do not blame me if you don’t listen. The man is only at level four of the Faery Origin Stage, yet he already got three Saint Origin Stage cultivators and over four hundred Divinity Origin Stage cultivators to work for him... When he reaches the Divinity Origin Stage, and even the Saint Origin Stage...”

“Listen! When he is that powerful, I don’t think he will show you any respect. Even the Great Ancestor won’t help you! I am telling you the truth! This is not a threat!”

He talked in a weird tone, but Song was shocked and frightened!

Ye Xiao had seen Master Guan talking to an old man when he went by. Master Guan was spirited up.

Ye Xiao guessed that Master Guan was saying, “Look at that, our great Prime Leader, Ye Xiao! He is such a wise man with excellent strength and a wonderful personality. He is handsome, tall, peerless, great... It is the best luck of my life to work for him! It took him only a few days, and we are already this powerful...”

(Author’s Note: I should stop him from flattering Ye Xiao because I don’t want to write too many words just on that.)

Ye Xiao was truly a lucky man. He seemed to be unreliable, but he always made the right decision...

Ye Xiao looked over and saw Master Guan still talking with that old man. The old man was slim, energetic, gray-haired and had rosy-cheeks... Ye Xiao walked over, and the old man watched him.

“Master Guan, who is this honorable friend?” Ye Xiao asked.
