Chapter 1668: The Growing Monarchâs Hall
After the King of Poisons talked about the story about the two brothers, Ye Xiao indifferently said, âKilling people one thousand miles away⌠That is nothing special. They had a special skill that allowed them to control their weapons even if theyâre not holding it. They had a sword that allowed them to do so. They were bluffing. Now they are just like everybody else, dead bodies as death caught them.â
Ye Xiao kept walking ahead and blandly said, âIn fact, it is pretty important to be strong when living in the martial world, but sometimes there is something more important than power.
âFor example, you must have the wisdom of self-knowledge, how to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, how to respect the powerful people, how to stay cautious.â
Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, âWhen you are not powerful enough, you must accept yourself as a weak ant in this world. Do not mess with a tiger because it will smash you into pieces⌠When you are at a low position in the world, do not think of reaching the top of the world with one step. You may get yourself falling into a bottomless cliff⌠When you are listening to people, lowering your head would bring you more benefits.â
What Ye Xiao was saying seemed to be profound. He continued, âNot everyone can live like the main character of a novel, earning a great life with his bare hands. After all, only a few people have the backbone which keeps them from bowing, and the good luck which keeps them away from death⌠Most people have to follow a leaderâŚ
âIt is an investment. It all depends on your own judgment.â
Ye Xiao talked in a peaceful tone, and he didnât look back. He kept moving forward casually. He spoke out his words softly like he was mumbling to himself.
The King of Poisons tried to catch up to him and thought of Ye Xiaoâs words seriously.
âDoes he want me to pledge loyalty to him? Is he the leader that I can put my faith in?â
âShould I invest my life on him? Should I serve him with all my loyalty?â
He was scared by what just happened, and he timidly said, âI donât think I can ask for anything more⌠I just want to survive the martial world and have a good lifeâŚâ
Ye Xiao was still moving forward. âSurvival and a good life⌠It is the ultimate goal of many people⌠The five Sky Kings used to chase it⌠It is already a lot to ask.â
âThatâs right.â The King of Poisons nodded and bowed.
âLittle Poison, you are not a bad cultivator.â Ye Xiao said, âYou are at level one of the Saint Origin Stage, and it is much better than most of the people in the world⌠However, it is not enough to get a good life in this world.â
Oh, my heavens! Oh, my earth! He was actually so shameless! A few months earlier, the King of Poisons could kill Ye Xiao with a finger! Now, since he had improved a lot, he started to put on airs! That was awful!
However, the King of Poisons didnât feel offended at all. He humbly said, âI am so lucky to have your guidance. It is not much to tell me, but it means much more than anything else I learned. I would love to follow you and serve your command for the rest of my life! I will never betray you, my master!â
Ye Xiao was surprised, and he said, âNever betray me? Well, you need to be loyal and also lucky not to break your wordâŚâ
The King of Poisons was surprised too. He didnât know what to say.
âOf course, I have to be loyal, but why do I have to be lucky? What does that mean?â
âHoly hell. What was that about? I didnât understand why he said that. He will never betray you, and that is loyalty, obviously. Why did he bring up anything about being lucky? What is wrong with him? He just comes up with all kinds of weird concepts. I really canât understand why!â
Ye Xiao realized he had said something difficult to understand, so he decided to change the topic. âLittle Poison, where are you from?â
It was a normal question. People asked this question all the time. However, the King of Poisons got his face twisted as if he had just got bitten by a poisonous snake.
âI am from a featureless family⌠I donât have a remarkable background⌠I came to the martial world when I was a child, and after all these years, I didnât reach any goals yet⌠It is a shameâŚâ He kept his head low.
Ye Xiao didnât see his face, and it seemed like he didnât realize anything wrong. He said, âWell, just stay with me for a few days. Just do what I told you to do, and finish your jobâŚâ
He paused and then said, âAs for the future, it depends on what you are going to do.â
âThank you, Lord Monarch.â The King of Poisons bowed, but he seemed lost.
âWhen did I become a man like this? Bowing to the powerful men? Having no backbone? Where is the man I used to be?â
He followed Ye Xiao, walking like a soulless man.
Eight of the twelve unites occupied the areas where Ye Xiao went over. They kept spreading out and taking down more places to expand their territoryâŚ
It was Meng Youjiangâs suggestion.
The headquarters of the Monarchâs Hall was unbreakable, but it was small. The Great Ye Army always wanted to take it over. Meng Youjiang thought they should aim further than just this city. Lord Monarch was fighting his way out, killing many enemies, so others from the Monarchâs Hall could go after him and take the areas that were conquered by Ye Xiao⌠They might fail to hold all those areas, but they should at least tryâŚ
The Monarchâs Hall people arrived like a group of demons. The bandits, who were defeated by Ye Xiao, were arranged to stay together to be trainedâŚ
Whoever disobeyed the orders would be killed.
Those areas belonged to the Monarchâs Hall now.
Those men had just suffered some hard beatings from Ye Xiao and they had lost all their treasures. Before they felt better, the people from the Monarchâs Hall arrived. Nobody wanted to fight anymore⌠They thought they had nothing to lose anymore, so they gave up fighting back. However, the men from the Monarchâs Hall were more brutal than Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao only took away money and treasures, but these people wanted to control their lives!
The men from the Monarchâs Hall looked so strong like they were going to kill at any secondâŚ
Nobody escaped. They all stood in lines, following orders. If they disobeyed the orders, they would die. They knew it.
When they realized that people of the Monarchâs Hall were subordinates of Ye Xiao, they actually breathed a sigh of relief.
