Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Thank you, Purple Dragon King.”

The Purple Dragon King laughed and said, “Monarch Ye, you are being modest. In fact, you have done way more than you should! I owe you one!”

As words were said, the Golden Phoenix King knew what choice she should make. She smiled and said, “Let’s put an end to whatever is between Chihuo and I. Thank you, Monarch Ye.”

The two kings finished talking, and they both walked to the eggs. One was checking the dragon egg, while the other was checking the phoenix egg. They were overjoyed.

The two clans were known to be incredibly powerful, but they had too few people.

The stronger clan it was, the more difficult they bred.

The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan had extreme difficulties to have kids. Royal people who were at the level of the purple dragon and golden phoenix could hardly have any kids. The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King were almost infecund.

It was extremely difficult for them to have babies!

There had been only two Purple Dragon Kings and three Golden Phoenix Kings in the history of the two clans.

Obviously, few people could climb up to such a level.

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King surely wanted their children to take over their positions in their respective clans, but they knew it was nearly impossible.

A baby dragon needed to suffer so much before growing into a grown dragon. It was almost impossible to keep suffering until reaching the throne.

They needed talent, capability, wisdom, flexibility, and good luck!

They must have all!

The phoenix was the same.

Many people of the Phoenix Clan, who were born such talented cultivators, eventually died before reaching the top...

If Ye Xiao wasn’t lying, if the eggs got the ultimate purple qi and Nine Stars Nurture, these two kids were most likely going to succeed!

It was such a great fortune!

They could get the Heavenly Life Fire since they came to the world!

That was incredible...

The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King were excited.

‘Holy heavens!’

‘Long live the god of dragons!’

Chihuo smiled bitterly and said, “Farewell now. Thank you for forgiving me. I am not feeling well. I must go now.”

After that, he turned around and staggered away.

He was stooping, and he looked thousands of years older than he was. When he walked, he barely lifted his feet. He didn’t look like one of the Seven Colored Lords anymore.

The Seven Golden Lotuses sighed.

A superior cultivator actually became a useless old man.

Chihuo was the last of the Seven Colored Lords now, and he hadn’t improved for a long time. He messed with the dragon and the phoenix because he wanted to change, but he failed... He was saved by a young man, and he had to apologize...

Ye Xiao stood up to fix the problem for him.

All he got was a disgrace.

His fame, the stories about him... were gone.

Chihuo was just a dying old man!

Chihuo could never be seen in the martial world anymore!

Yue Youyou looked at Chihuo’s back and frowned. He said, “Chihuo!”

Chihuo turned around and looked at Yue Youyou.

Yue Youyou stepped forward and said, “We have known each other for tens of thousands of years. I can’t say we are friends, but we have lived through the same times. We are all old. Do you want to come and live at my place? I can really use a companion.”

Chihuo was surprised. He looked at Yue Youyou, and Yue Youyou looked at him too.

After a while, Chihuo smiled and said, “Thank you, Master Yue. I have been alone for my whole life... I don’t need friends anymore... In the last part of my life, I want to be alone with myself.”

After that, he turned around and left.

Yue Youyou made a long sigh.

He didn’t need friends anymore.

He was hurt by his friends, so he didn’t need friends anymore. That could be the reason.

He was going to die, and he didn’t want anybody to grieve for him. That might be the reason too.

Maybe these were the reasons.

Yue Youyou knew it, so he sighed.

...

Chihuo took a turn somewhere, and he made a long sigh too. He knew he had done something wrong, but he would never cave in.

He wouldn’t apologize. After all, he had only three years to live. An apology would only leave him disgrace...

However...

What Ye Xiao said had touched him.

“Should the dragon and the phoenix come, you must submit. Don’t waste my efforts, please.” Ye Xiao said.

“I don’t have that much time to live. I don’t see why I should still live.” Chihuo said.

“That’s right. You only have three years to live, and you will die... I want you to do something for me in the next three years.” Ye Xiao was frank. “I am not trying to be demanding here. I just need your help.

“I am weak. My organization is weak. I need three years to develop.

“The Monarch’s Hall has no real powerful cultivators! That is our biggest weakness!

“Besides, after three years of staying in the Hall of Life and Death, you may get a chance to live.”

Ye Xiao said seriously.

“Why get yourself killed for nothing?

“If you have one tiny hope to rise up to the top again, don’t you want to seize it? Why don’t you submit? Who hasn’t submitted to something or someone in their life?

“There must be somebody who can make you cave in.

“If you can’t change it and you are going to die in three years, you must resolve all your problems before you die. Make yourself unperturbed before death.”

Those last few words touched him.

“Make yourself unperturbed before death.” It touched Chihuo.

“I will live those three years for you, Monarch Ye!”

Chihuo nodded.

“I hope after three years, I will be unperturbed, no matter if I am dead or alive!”

Chihuo was walking in the Hall of Life and Death, and Ye Xiao’s words kept resounding in his head. In his heart, there was fire rising up.

‘Am I really just going to die for nothing?’

‘The Hall of Life and Death is my hope!’

‘In the tens of thousands of years that I have been alive, he is the only person who is willing to do something for me!’

Chihuo stopped and stared at the Hall of Life and Death. His eyes lit up.

‘This place is under my protection!’

‘I will fight with my life whoever dares to come and mess with the Hall of Life and Death!’
