Master Bai’s sharp eyes scared Xiu’er.

She hadn’t seen her master’s eyes being so sharp for a long time.

Xiu’er kept her head low and said, “That’s the information we have...”

Master Bai took a deep breath and said, “What about the Hall of Returning Nature?”

“The Two Tigers of the Hall of Returning Nature died. The Golden Phoenix of the Three Phoenixes died. The Red Phoenix survived because Ye Xiao wanted her to return with a message. The Four Kong Warriors and the Eight Sky Masters died! Meng Wuzhen had sent two Undead Stage cultivators to make sure they won the war, but these two were dead now!”

– Pang! –

Master Bai hit the table with his hand. “With all those powerful men, the Hall of Returning Nature still lost. Meng Wuzhen is useless!”

‘Master lost control again.’

Xiu’er looked at Master Bai, who was always calm and elegant. She was surprised.

‘It was surprising. The Undead Stage cultivators shouldn’t have died... But... He doesn’t need to lose control, does he?’

‘The House of Chaotic Storms hasn’t been in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for a long time. However, it lives for a long time in the Land of Han-Yang and the Qing-Yun Realm. Because of the wisdom of the Master, we never lost any important people. Ye Xiao seems to be as good as Master now. However, even if Ye Xiao has become this powerful, should Master lose control like this?’

Xiu’er was confused. Master Bai blandly sighed and said, “Xiu’er, you don’t understand. That is not just about this battle. There is more...”

Xiu’er was confused.

Master Bai said, “It is one’s life. It is one’s destiny!”

Xiu’er was still confused. “Master, I am lost.”

Master Bai blandly smiled and said, “Forget it. You don’t have to understand. I can handle it myself.”

Master Bai slowly closed his eyes. He had a few words in his mind. Destiny. Heavenly Dao. Luck. Variance... He didn’t say it aloud.

After a while, he said, “Has the Hall of Returning Nature sent their most mysterious men?”

“No. Ye Xiao didn’t send the Five Kings either. It is said that the Monarch’s Hall doesn’t have Five Kings yet... But the Hall of Returning Nature wouldn’t believe it.” Xiu’er said, “So the Hall of Returning Nature didn’t send their best men for the battle...”

Master Bai smiled and said, “Ye Xiao is truly a lucky man. Meng Wuzhen actually lost a great opportunity. What a fool!”

He took a few steps ahead and said, “Ye Xiao is good at dan-making. In seven days, the superior cultivators in the Monarch’s Hall will recover. Bu Xiangfeng has always been better than those at the same cultivation level... I think we have a person who is as good as Bu Xiangfeng. They are quite similar to each other!”

He didn’t wait for any response. He said, “Tell Yang Rui to kill the Jade Phoenix in eleven days!”

Xiu’er was surprised. “Jade Phoenix? Why?”

“Just try to kill her. I need him to do the assassination, but it doesn’t have to succeed. Tell Yang Rui to stay alive!”

Master Bai said, “He must try to do it just like Bu Xiangfeng would do. Make it a secret. Do not leave any traces that can be tracked to us.”

Xiu’er nodded and said, “Yes. I will deliver the order.”

“No rush.” Master Bai said, “Don’t tell him now. If he knows the target now, he will raise the killing intent against the target. I don’t want our guy to make any tiny changes. Just give him the order in nine days. He will do the assassination on the eleventh day. That is the best way to keep the assassination a secret!”

“Yes!”

“By the way, start to cover our real power in the south-east. Other directions remain the same.”

“Yes!”

“Let Muzi go to the City of Chaos. Make some trouble but be careful. Tell him to come back immediately if his identity is exposed. Make a plan for his retreat before he goes!”

“Yes!”

Master Bai slowly walked out the door. He watched the bamboo forest outside and blandly said, “It isn’t easy to watch the tigers fight. When the Hall of Returning Nature falls, my war against Ye Xiao begins!”

The dark clouds covered the sky. It started to snow.

Master Bai reached out a hand and held a snowflake. He said, “I heard that it had been snowing for three months in the City of Chaos. Is it true?”

“We are in different areas. Nobody can control the weather.” Xiu’er said, “It snows later than the City of Chaos.”

Master Bai said, “Why? Why is it later here?”

Xiu’er was shocked.

That was unexpected. She didn’t know what to say.

The climates in the two areas were different. Sometimes one side was in summer while the other side was in winter. Nobody knew why!

Master Bai stood in the falling snowflakes. He became white like a part of the snow. He said, “Find out why Ye Xiao didn’t attend the battle when it began. I want to know what he has been doing during the three months!”

Xiu’er nodded and said, “We are working on it. Even people in the Monarch’s Hall don’t know much about it.”

“It is different timing now. The Monarch’s Hall has won. They won’t try so hard to keep the secret anymore. I want to know it in three days.” Master Bai blandly said.

“Yes!”

Master Bai had done the first arrangement.

He walked into the heavy snow with both hands behind his back. It seemed nothing if the world had anything to do with him anymore. In his mind, there was only the snow.

Xiu’er stood in the snow with him. She knew that Master Bai would be happy when it started to snow.

He was happy.

However, this time, she felt something different. It seemed like something else was bothering Master Bai... It seemed like he wanted to meet somebody but had to wait before the time came...

Outside the City of Chaos.

There were ten people moving into the city. Nine of them were following the other one, who was dressed in colorful clothes.

The man in colorful clothes seemed to be the leader, a handsome young man.

There were the patterns of a big flower on the man’s chest, a phoenix on the back, a cyan dragon on the left shoulder, a white tiger on the right shoulder, and two strong trees on the legs.

There were some snakes on the trees too. The images were so beautiful and these animals seemed to be real.

The man was wearing a weird hat. It had seven colors just like a rainbow. His hairs also had seven colors! That was so weird!

He was like a peacock flying into the City of Chaos...

He was like a peacock that was almost going to gain a human shape...

His eyes were in two colors, red and green.

People on the street couldn’t stop looking at him.

The man was quite proud of his special clothes. He thought he was the most beautiful man in the world. As he walked on the street, his nose was pointing up to the sky.

People on the street were shocked when they found the man. ‘Holy hell... Where does this fool come from? Whoever has a friend like him must be unlucky...’

“Hah hah hah... I am here! Ling Wuxie is here!”

Yes, the peacock man... It was the prime leader of the Xie League, Ling Wuxie, Young Lord Ling. “No matter who you are, if you joined that fight against the Hall of Returning Nature, I should get drunk with you... Hah hah hah... It felt so good! It felt so f*cking good!”

The other nine people all looked away. They were embarrassed...

They were so unlucky to be assigned to this mission... They felt so disgraced to stay with Ling Wuxie along the way. They wanted to tell others they didn’t know that man, but they couldn’t leave him... What was the difference?

The Monarch’s Hall.

People were cheering for their great victory. However, some of them were sad.

They were happy to win the war, but they were sad about losing so many people. They had lost too much to achieve this victory!

They had lost over ninety-five percent of their people. It was difficult to make it up soon.

The snow around the fortress of trees was almost ten feet thick. The snow became a wall surrounding this place, like two long and giant pieces of jade.

It had been snowing for three months, and it wasn’t going to stop. Snowflakes kept falling from the sky.

Somebody in colorful clothes appeared in the snow. He was moving unbelievably fast.

“Stop!” The guards shouted outside the fortress of trees.

They were guards outside the fortress, but they were also level-five Saint Origin Stage cultivators!

The Monarch’s Hall didn’t have enough men. These men were too good for the job, but they couldn’t find any weaker ones!

Ling Wuxie laughed loudly. “Hah hah hah hah hah... Go inside and tell Ye Xiao that his best friend has come to visit him. Ling Wuxie, the prime leader of the Xie League. I am here to have a drink with him. Hah hah hah hah...”

The nine men around him all turned their faces away...

‘We don’t know this man... This is embarrassing!’

‘Look at you... How can you tell anybody you are the prime leader of the Xie League... Oh, my bloody lord...’

‘You disgrace the Xie League...’

‘Best friend? Come on... Does he even know you? He must be fooled in the old days, but he is not a fool anymore. Is he even going to consider being friends with you now?’

Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard the guard.

‘Ling Wuxie, Master Bai’s best friend. Why is he here? Is he going to fight me now? Is the House of Chaotic Storms going to fight me too?’

‘Wait... Since when have we become good friends? What the hell is he thinking?’

However, he didn’t want to be impolite, so he went out.

Chihuo followed Ye Xiao out. Ling Wuxie had come. After all, he was one of the most powerful young lords in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

The Monarch’s Hall had just become sworn enemies with Meng Wuzhen. Chihuo didn’t want to have a new enemy now. He had to come out and make sure everything was okay!

“Brother Ling, where are you? Where are you?” Ye Xiao stood up and looked around, but he didn’t see the man, so he asked.

“Hah hah hah...” A man who was dressed like a colorful chicken started to laugh. “I am here! I knew you wouldn’t recognize me. I am so good-looking. Can you believe it? No, you can’t... I am such a surprise...”

The next moment, Ye Xiao was shocked as he saw Ling Wuxie.

It was like the rainbow had been pushed hard into the man’s body... Ye Xiao was shocked, and he felt blank and lost...

“You...” Ye Xiao wanted to say something but couldn’t.

In fact, Ye Xiao had already become a calm and steady man after Zuo Wuji taught him. No matter what happened, Ye Xiao could always stay calm.

His face was always calm and emotionless. It was his sign.

However, he failed this time. Ling Wuxie totally wrecked him.

It was astonishing! Ye Xiao couldn’t stay calm anymore!

He was so shocked!
