Chapter 1772: No Thoroughfare

No Thoroughfare . . .

"I am not exaggerating it. I believe you all know what I am talking about. You all remember what levels your people were at when they joined the Monarch's Hall. Within less than a year, the best one of them was almost at the Immortality Stage… It is unusually fast in the history of the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Even the Great Master Cha or the five Sky Kings never improved that fast. If our men are banished, they won't be able to improve so fast anymore. They won't blame Monarch Cha , but they will blame us. What do you think?"

"That's for certain."

"However, this is difficult. The great ancestors won't give up Cha Yunduan, and we have to listen to the great ancestors…"

"Let's pretend ill first. Maybe things will change soon…"

Master Qin made a sigh. He really didn't know what to do now.

One was the vow that his great ancestor made, while the other was the future of his children!

The bright future was right there. Following Cha-Eun Xiao would lead them to a bright future. However, they couldn't go against their own ancestors… The biggest problem was that the great ancestors were all alive, so these seven old masters truly didn't have the right to make the final decision.

It was difficult.

The seven old masters were hesitating…

Cha Yunduan was already furious! The message was received. Cha Yunduan broke the entire study room to vent his anger when he heard that the seven old men fell ill at the same time!

'At the same time? Am I a fool to you? You don't want to fight Cha-Eun Xiao!'

Cha Yunduan gritted his teeth so hard.

The seven old masters hesitated for only two days because things did change…

Cha-Eun Xiao had sent a message to Master Guan.

It wasn't a surprise, because Cha-Eun Xiao and Master Guan had always been friends. However, what surprised Master Guan was what Cha-Eun Xiao said in the message. He wanted Master Guan and the other six old masters to secretly attend a meeting in the Hall of Life and Death.

The sudden news shocked the seven old masters!

'What is this about?'

The seven old men discussed for a long time, but they couldn't think of a reason!

Cha-Eun Xiao had stopped contacting the old men since they left the Monarch's Hall. After he saved the Guan Clan and the Song Clan earlier, Cha-Eun Xiao and Master Guan started to contact each other again, but only a few times.

The old masters understood why Cha-Eun Xiao stopped contacting them, and they were grateful. If Cha Yunduan knew they were in contact, he would definitely be mad at the Seven Lotus Clans!

The seven old men were grateful but also regretful for what Cha-Eun Xiao did for them.

However, they didn't understand why Cha-Eun Xiao asked them for a secret meeting!

The seven old men were confused.

Cha-Eun Xiao had sincerely invited them, so they figured they shouldn't refuse it.

They didn't spend much time to prepare before they left for the meeting. The Hall of Life and Death was a familiar place to the seven old men!

…

They were cautious, so they put on disguises and left from somewhere else other than their own houses. They met up in a tea house first and then hid in a carriage. In the middle of the night, they were going to the Hall of Life and Death secretly.

Cha-Eun Xiao was holding a secret meeting. It was necessary to be cautious.

After two turns, they would arrive at the fortress of trees.

They had already smelled the special scent of the plants…

It was about five miles away from the Hall of Life and Death. The old men were relaxed. They were still guessing what this secret meeting was about.

"Does he know that the Great Cha Army is going to attack him? Is he going to ask for our advice?"

Master Ju asked, but the other old masters gave him a disdainful look.

"The Monarch's Hall is definitely much stronger than the Great Cha Army. How would Cha-Eun Xiao want advice from us? Are you stupid?"

"Is that tofu inside your head?"

"Old fool!"

Master Ju was so upset.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Master Guan asked.

"Somebody is blocking the road." A guard reported. "People of the Great Cha Army."

"The Great Cha Army?" The seven old masters were shocked.

'How come the Great Cha Army would set barricades here beforehand?'

'What is this about?'

'Do they know we are going to the Hall of Life and Death? Is that why they are stopping us?'

The old men were confused. Somebody on the road shouted, "The Great Cha Army sets barricades here! No thoroughfare!"

The old men were angry. 'The roads inside the City of Chaos are actually blocked? Since we became the chiefs of our clans, such things have never happened in the city!'

They couldn't expose themselves, so Master Guan told the guard, "Change our route."

The carriage turned back and made a turn to approach the Hall of Life and Death from another road. However, when they were closer to the Hall of Life and Death, the road was blocked again.

It was also men from the Great Cha Army.

"No thoroughfare! Forcibly pushing through the barrier is to stand against the Great Cha Army! We will kill those who try to go through here without mercy!"

The old men realized something was wrong.

Maybe Cha Yunduan knew about the secret meeting, so he blocked the roads beforehand.

Were they going to return?

Master Yue thought for a while, and then he sent people out to check other roads. After a while, he got the response. All roads to the Hall of Life and Death were blocked!

Master Yue sighed and said, "Cha Yunduan doesn't know where we are going. He did this for a different purpose. He is going to lock out the Monarch's Hall and besiege the Monarch's Hall, so no third party could come to rescue!" It was obvious. The Hall of Life and Death was locked.

"I think this is not all." Master Guan frowned. "This is too obvious. Blocking the Hall of Life and Death out, he must have some other plans. It seems he is stopping something."

Master Qin humphed and said, "I don't care what he wants. Let's show them who we are and get through this damn thing! Cha Yunduan suddenly started a war against the Monarch's Hall and told us to fight the Monarch's Hall too. We are always in good relation with the Monarch's Hall, so it is reasonable that we need to talk to the Monarch's Hall before the fight starts! Cha Yunduan doesn't allow people to go to the Hall of Life and Death, but I don't think he would stop us too!"
