Chapter 295: Disburdened!

Chapter 295: Disburdened!

Disburdened! . . .

"But this collaboration, as Master Bai solemnly asserts, is solely about my assistance to Ling-Bao Hall during its crisis with the two great sects. That is the extent of it," Master Bai states in a composed manner. "It does not encompass any additional matters. By the time you emerge from this predicament, I will have discharged my obligations."

Cha Eun Xiao responds with determination, "Certainly. That is all I seek. I am not so malevolent as to manipulate others using their needs. We each have our own objectives. In this world, you aspire to incite chaos and topple kingdoms, while I seek to bring about peace and allow people to live in tranquility. If we must stand opposed, then let us give it our all."

Master Bai offers a faint smile and opts for silence.

"When that day arrives, you and I will engage in battle. We will both fight for our convictions. Life and death will be left to the whims of the gods," Cha Eun Xiao gazes at Master Bai and articulates each word deliberately. "In reality, there is no animosity in this world, only differing purposes and positions. That is all."

Master Bai contemplates these words for a protracted period before eventually responding, "Agreed."

...

As Cha Eun Xiao strides out of Sky No. 1 Room with confidence, the entire crowd's attention is fixed upon him.

At this juncture, Feng Monarch exudes an air of jubilation, even donning a smile. His demeanor suggests that nothing unusual has occurred, and he behaves as though he has just paid a friendly visit, enjoyed some tea, and engaged in casual conversation.

He nonchalantly exits the room, and to the casual observer, there is nothing remarkable about him.

Yet, the very fact that there is nothing unusual about him is, in itself, the most peculiar thing of all!

Sky No. 1 Room is no place where one can simply stroll in and out without consequence.

Everyone is left pondering the nature of Feng Monarch's discourse with Wan of the Clouds within the room. He spent an extended period inside, yet there were no disturbances. Nothing transpired.

All that is known is that Wan of the Clouds occupied the room, and that alone is significant enough. But the fact that the true master of the House of the Chaotic Storm, Master Bai, the individual who holds sway over the world's destiny, was also present goes unnoticed.

Only Cha Eun Xiao comprehends the gravity of entering and departing from that room.

He endured a profound sense of oppression throughout the conversation.

Every second spent conversing felt like a life-and-death gamble, despite outward appearances suggesting a tranquil discussion.

The exchange appeared ordinary and harmonious, with both parties seemingly content. However, Cha Eun Xiao understood that it was the most perilous moment of his existence, a moment fraught with terror. Though he has since departed, the fear still lingers.

In that room, Cha Eun Xiao unearthed an astonishing revelation during the conversation, one that far exceeded his expectations.

He discovered that even when he was at the peak of his prowess as the Xiao Monarch, he remained incapable of withstanding a single strike from Master Bai.

Master Bai, the man confined to a wheelchair...

The man who couldn't even harm a chicken!

He was a man whose appearance exuded gentleness and refinement, his striking handsomeness making most men perceive him as a formidable adversary and all women regard him as a dreamy lover...

Yet, as an opponent, he was truly fearsome!

However, Cha Eun Xiao felt a spark of excitement after tasting that fear!

He considered himself fortunate to have such a formidable adversary!

Otherwise, life would have been dull.

With an opponent of such high caliber and power, he was destined to experience a vibrant and dramatic existence in the Land of Han-Yang in the days to come!

Cha Eun Xiao descended the stairs with a serene smile on his face.

When Wan Zhenghao cast an inquisitive glance his way, Cha Eun Xiao responded with an air of nonchalance.

"Oh my, oh my..." Wan Zhenghao's corpulent frame finally settled into a chair. The chair, constructed from the world's sturdiest wood, had nearly succumbed to the sudden force of his weight, but it miraculously held together. However, any further strain, and the chair would undoubtedly give way. After a moment, Wan Zhenghao's pressure subsided. He knew that everything had been resolved, and relief washed over him. He intentionally eased his tension, diminishing the strain on the chair, which narrowly avoided breaking.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Liu Changjun's eyes sparkled upon witnessing Cha Eun Xiao's casual stroll.

"There it is.

So that's how it is.

No matter how perilous the situation, he resolves it with such ease. It takes him mere minutes. All threats vanish effortlessly.

He needn't divulge the details to anyone, recount his trials, or share the hardships he's endured. He simply reassures his comrades, 'It's been handled.'

I'm truly fortunate to follow a leader like him!

If only I could become like that one day..."

Liu Changjun stood there in silence, his demeanor resolute.

The admiration in his eyes was unmistakable.

He understood the immense pressure of confronting the House of the Chaotic Storm!

Feng Monarch had faced it, accomplished it, held it, and returned victoriously!

He was the sole individual who had ever achieved such a feat!

In the eyes of Liu Changjun, this remarkable man was none other than Cha Eun Xiao!

Cha Eun Xiao casually strolled past Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji.

Accompanying him were a crown prince and three princes—what an unexpected gathering.

To the observers, Cha Eun Xiao's actions appeared enigmatic and inscrutable.

Among the assembly, even the princes of the Kingdom of Chen occupied relatively lowly positions. They were less significant than many others in this assembly.

As the monarch of the Ling-Bao Hall calmly passed by, people were left guessing about the true target of this world-altering figure. The princes, for reasons unknown to them, began to feel an inexplicable sense of unease and agitation.

Cha Eun Xiao proceeded directly toward Lan Langlang.

It had been some time since they last met, and his old friend now seemed to exude a more resilient air. Even his crossed eyes appeared slightly improved.

Lan Langlang was filled with bewilderment when he noticed Cha Eun Xiao approaching.

He couldn't comprehend why the Monarch of the Ling-Bao Hall would suddenly come over to him. After all, they were not acquainted, and their paths had never crossed before.
