Although Ye Xiao had shown his determination, the seven old men couldnât just turn away. They assumed Ye Xiao had already reached the Undead Stage, but it was not enough to win the war on his own. They decided to follow Ye Xiao secretly. If the Monarchâs Hall was going to fail, they would have to save Ye Xiaoâs life.
When they got near to the battlefield, they saw the great army of beasts running toward the men of the Hall of Returning Nature. Within a short time, the Hall of Returning Nature was defeated.
That was only about an hour. Over a hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning Nature died.
The seven old masters were shocked. They were shaking in astonishment.
âIs this⊠Is this the real power of the Lord Monarch?â
When the Tiger in the Dream killed himself, Master Guan closed his eyes and kept his head low.
He wept.
âŠ
In fact, the seven old masters were alone. Ye Yunduan had led some men to wait near the battlefield, so they could save Ye Xiao when he was in danger. These men saw the result of the war too.
Ye Yunduan had a complicated feeling when he saw how Ye Xiao easily won the war.
He realized that the Monarchâs Hall had officially joined the competition in the martial world.
However, as the true descendant of the Heavenâs Leaf, he was restrained in the City of Chaos.
Ye Xiao was like a dragon rising up to the world while Ye Yunduan was just a worm in the city!
Everybody knew it. Everybody saw it!
After a while, Ye Yunduan breathed a long sigh. He said, âYe Xiao is truly a dragon! He has been hiding, staying low⊠Now it is his time to rise, to fly to the top of the worldâŠâ
He sounded jealous, but he tried to stay calm and steady.
The old masters looked at each other. They nodded and sighed.
He must have tried very hard to calm down. He had already done a great job to calm down so quickly.
âWe donât mind if you are weak, not strong⊠We want you to be honest.â
âWe can see your real feelings. You were shocked, and you still are.â
âIt isnât bad, but it isnât good either!â
âIt is reasonable that you are jealous of him. You donât need to hide it!â
âThis man is better than Ye Changqing but still not good enough!â

âMaster, Ye Xiao suddenly showed up and released the army of millions of beasts. The Hall of Returning Nature failed! Over a hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning Nature died!â
Master Bai was drinking tea. As he heard the message, he coughed. âCough, cough⊠Cough, cough, coughâŠâ
Master Bai was always calm and steady. Even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, he wouldnât even blink. As he heard the report, he actually acted awkwardly!
The question was⊠About four hours earlier, it was said that the Monarchâs Hall was going to die in the war.
Unless the Monarchâs Hall had many Undead Stage cultivators to help them, they wouldnât be able to win the battle.
Master Bai knew that Ye Xiao wouldnât ask for the help of the great ancestors of the Seven Lotus Clans!
Master Bai had been wondering where Ye Xiao had gone and what had happened to him. Suddenly, the Monarchâs Hall won!
Master Bai wasnât expecting such a message. He thought of many other possibilities, but this was not one of them!
The army of the beasts showed up and defeated the Hall of Returning Nature!
The Monarchâs Hall was pushed to the end. It was going to lose the war. Suddenly, a great army of millions of beasts showed up to win the war!
How was that possible?
It was unbelievable!
Master Bai turned around and looked at Xiuâer. He was waiting for her to confirm it.
Xiuâer bitterly smiled and nodded. It was real. The Monarchâs Hall won.
Master Bai turned over his head. He was in shock. He looked at the tea that he spat out and then laughed. He said, âAh, it cost me a cup of fine tea.â
He grabbed the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. He took a sip of it and got lost in his thoughts.
âSpiritual beasts?â Master Bai finished his tea and said two words.
He then slightly shook his head. He was confused.
It was rare that Master Bai felt confused. In his life, whenever he was confused, it must be something about Ye Xiao.
The last time he was confused, it was about Ye Xiao and his supreme dan beads.
âHow does he get those spiritual beasts?â Master Bai frowned.
âYe Xiao has no connection to the Monster Clan. I can assure you that.
âBut⊠That was an army of millions of spiritual beasts⊠It crushed over one hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning NatureâŠ
âIf he truly controls millions of spiritual beasts, he should have ruled the Limitless Ocean for a long time. He could even become the seventh most powerful force in the world other than the five Sky Kings and the Heavenâs LeafâŠ
âWhy didnât he use it before? Why?â
Master Bai was asking himself.
âMaster, the Golden Phoenix King, and the Purple Dragon King met him before⊠Could it beâŠâ Xiuâer said.
âNo. Definitely not!â Master Bai said, âThey went to the Monarchâs Hall because of Chihuo. They stayed for only a few days, and Chihuo stayed in the Monarchâs Hall!
âThe Golden Phoenix King and the Purple Dragon King said the Red Fire Lord was gone. However, it was not true.
âWell, the Red Fire Lord was gone. That could be right. However, Chihuo was still there as a member of the Monarchâs Hall.â
Xiuâer was enlightened. âThatâs a lie, but⊠The two kings were so angry when they got to him. They even asked the seven great ancestors for help. It must be something important. Why would they spare the old man?â
âThatâs easy. Ye Xiao must have given them something. That is also why Chihuo would agree to join the Monarchâs Hall.â
Master Bai blandly said, âWhat does Ye Xiao have? At least, he has Supreme Dan. We used to promise him many things for his Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads!
âThink about Chihuoâs martial art. Think about how the two kings hated Chihuo. Chihuo must have reached his hand to the children of the phoenix and the dragon because of his special martial art. The two kings hunted him down, and they happened to meet in the Monarchâs Hall, which gave Ye Xiao a reason to get involved. Ye Xiao must have saved the kids, so the problem was solved. The two kings spared Chihuo, and Chihuo joined the Monarchâs Hall to return the favor.
âIsnât it too easy?â Master Bai blandly smiled.
Xiuâer admired the man.
If Ye Xiao was here, he would admire Master Bai as well. He actually made a good guess. With a little information, he saw the truth! How impressive!
Ye Xiao and Chihuo almost deceived the entire world, but for Master Bai, it was so easy to see through it!
âWhen the two kings left the Limitless Ocean, it was over.â Master Bai blandly said, âThe two kings would never give Ye Xiao an army of millions of beasts after that. In fact, even if the two kings wanted to, they couldnâtâŠâ
Master Bai paused and then continued, âWhat beasts were in the army? Do you know them?â
Xiuâer poured energy into a purple jade and looked into it. She said, âThere are many of them. Most of them should be extinct in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for quite a long time. There was the Silver Wolf, the Black Golden Tiger, the Purple Golden Leopard, the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled SnakeâŠâ
Master Bai bitterly smiled and said, âWell, Meng Wuzhen must have taken it for me this time!â
Xiuâer was shocked. âMaster, do you mean those beasts should be used on you? Is Ye Xiao really that smart?â
Master Bai shook his head and said, âNot just that. He is my only opponent in my life. He must be seeing me as his worst enemy as well. It makes sense that he would prepare some powerful moves just for me. If the Monarchâs Hall didnât fall into this disaster and Ye Xiao didnât have other methods to save his men, he wouldnât use the army of beasts so soon! Nobody could resist that powerful army!
âHe has never shown the power of the beast. What was he planning? I donât see any others he would plan on. He got it for me. Meng Wuzhen is powerful but only because he is the crown prince of the West Sky.â
It was difficult to understand, but the two ladies understood.
âMeng Wuzhen was not in Ye Xiaoâs eyes.
âYe Xiao prepared these beasts to fight me! However, Meng Wuzhen was stupid. He pushed the Monarchâs Hall to a dead end. Ye Xiao had no choice but to use it sooner than he expected.
âMeng Wuzhen is not a great person. In fact, if I have to face such an army of beasts all of a sudden, I will lose no less than Meng Wuzhen did.â
Master Bai frowned and said, âCheck it. After the fight, how many beasts died? Did Ye Xiao have them back? If Ye Xiao could use them freely, that would be horrible!â
Xiuâer frowned and said, âNo, he couldnât. I donât know how many beasts exactly died, but I do know that most of the beasts left Ye Xiao. Master, you are overestimating Ye Xiao. He canât use the beasts! He is not a god, is he?â
Master Bai felt relieved. He said, âWell, that is much better⊠I see.â
He said, âXiuâer, you shouldnât underestimate Ye Xiao. We fought him before. Think about what he did before. Wasnât it godâs work? I think he should be able to control those beasts⊠Well, it truly is difficult to gather up millions of beasts⊠How is he going to gather up so many beasts in the Limitless Ocean?â
He was thinking. Xiuâer said, âMaster, you are right⊠He did it once, and it was enough to shake the world. I think he only needs a little more time, and he wonât need the support of the beasts anymoreâŠâ
Master Bai said, âThatâs true! It is something we wonât be able to get an answer to. I think those beasts will return to him someday. When we face Ye Xiao in the future, we must be careful.â
âYes, master.â
âHow many of his men died?â Master Bai asked.
âHis men, do you mean the Five Kings, One Saber, Two Warriors, Seven Stars, and leaders of the Twelve Units?â Xiuâer hesitated.

âThatâs right.â Master Bai blandly nodded.
âWellâŠâ Xiuâer said, âHe has lost quite a lot of people this time, but⊠These important men were severely injured, but not dead⊠None of them diedâŠâ
Master Bai turned over and looked at her. âWhat?â
