Wanâer walked into the hall and looked at Meng Wuzhen. She slightly bowed and said, âGlad to meet you, Master Meng.â
Meng Wuzhen was sitting high, and it was hard to see his face. His elegant voice sounded. âWanâer. It has been a while. You are more beautiful now.â
Wanâer said, âI am flattered. Sister Jade Phoenix is truly the beauty of the time.â
Meng Wuzhen laughed and said, âWhere is the letter from Bai Chen?â
Wanâer turned over her hand and a letter was there. Suddenly, the letter flew up. Meng Wuzhen waved his hand and the letter flew to his hand.
It was so fast that Wanâer didnât have time to react.
Meng Wuzhen opened the envelope and raised up his eyebrows. He looked fierce all of a sudden. âWanâer, your master scolds me. Do you know that?â
Wanâer was surprised. She said, âNo, I donât. However, it is between you two. I wonât ask questions that I shouldnât.â
Meng Wuzhen humphed and said, âGo now. Tell him I get it.â
âYes.â Wanâer slightly bowed and walked out. The Jade Phoenix walked her out.
When the Jade Phoenix returned, Meng Wuzhen was holding the letter and frowned.
âMaster?â The Jade Phoenix asked.
âCheck this.â Meng Wuzhen handed over the letter.
âYe Xiao will go to the north of the North Sky in three days.â That was it. The Jade Phoenix read it out loud and got surprised. âThat⊠Thatâs the whereabouts of the monarch of the Monarchâs Hall!â
Meng Wuzhen stood up and kept both of his hands behind his back. âThatâs right.â
âMaster Bai told us this. What does he want?â The Jade Phoenix was shocked.
âIt is clear. He wants me to kill Ye Xiao in the north for him!â Meng Wuzhen said.
âCould it be a trap?â The Jade Phoenix was concerned.
âNo.â Meng Wuzhen shook his head and said, âBai Chen is too proud to lie about this.â
âThere must be a reason. Ye Xiao will go to the north!â The Jade Phoenix said, âThis is the best chance we have to kill Ye Xiao and destroy the Monarchâs Hall.â
Meng Wuzhen said, âThatâs right.â
âWhat is your plan, master?â The Jade Phoenix was thrilled.
The reputation of the Hall of Returning Nature was getting lower and lower because of Ye Xiao. Many people died in the martial world. Her sisters died. She hated Ye Xiao so much.
âIt has to be true. Ye Xiao will go. This is our chance. Bai Chen is using us, and I donât like it.â
Meng Wuzhen humphed and said, âBai Chen did nothing, just sent me a letter. Does he expect me to be his fighter? Isnât it too good for him?â
The Jade Phoenix was speechless. âBut⊠He is helping us in a way.â
âWhy would he do this if he wouldnât get any profit from it?â Meng Wuzhen said, âYe Xiaoâs death will definitely bring great benefits to Bai Chen. Otherwise, he wouldnât want me to do it!â
âNo matter why he does this, we have to kill Ye Xiao.â Meng Wuzhen gritted his teeth. âI hate Bai Chen mostly because of his cunning mind.
âWhen he is using you, he makes sure you know it. You still do it, even though you know you are being used. It feels sick!â
The Jade Phoenix smiled bitterly.
That was right.
That was Master Bai.
If he wanted to use a person, he would tell him. However, he also made sure the man wouldnât say no. This was a typical case.
It wasnât an intrigue because it was on the table.
To kill Ye Xiao, the Hall of Returning Nature had to lose lives. Meng Wuzhen would have to pay the price. Bai Chen made that clear.
No matter what, Meng Wuzhen had to do it!
As he did it, he was used. Bai Chen got the biggest benefit from it.
âWhat can he get anyway?â The Jade Phoenix frowned and asked.
âA lot.â Meng Wuzhen said angrily, âIf Ye Xiao dies, people of the Monarchâs Hall will avenge him. What could they do without Ye Xiao? They will have to pledge loyalty to somebody else against us.
âThey will join the force that fights us.
âIt is an easy choice, isnât it? The entire Limitless Ocean, who else but the House of Chaotic Storms could fight us? Bai Chen is the only one who dares to promise he will avenge Ye Xiao!
âThe power of the Monarchâs Hall will become a part of the House of Chaotic Storms⊠The fortress of trees will be the headquarters of the House of Chaotic StormsâŠ
âThatâs what Bai Chen gets.
âThatâs his plan.
âAfter we kill Ye Xiao, we wonât be able to kill the others in the Monarchâs Hall, because they hide in the fortress of trees.
âWe kill Ye Xiao, and we create the worst enemy that we ever have. House of Chaotic Storms! With the fortress of trees, the House of Chaotic Storms will become twice stronger than before!â
Meng Wuzhen gritted his teeth.
The Jade Phoenix didnât know what to say.
It was a big plan behind the letter! Bai Chen was going to rule the martial world!
âWellâŠâ The Jade Phoenix said, âAre we going to spare Ye Xiao?â
âWe have to kill him!â Meng Wuzhen took a breath. âWe wonât get another chance.â
âThatâs why Bai Chen is so goodâŠâ Meng Wuzhen shouted angrily. âHe set up a trap for you and make sure you have to jump into it! We have to!â
The Jade Phoenix sighed.
[Master Bai of the House of Chaotic Storms truly is good at scheming. My master has been losing the game against himâŠ]
The Jade Phoenix wanted to tell Meng Wuzhen many times that he shouldnât be Bai Chenâs enemy⊠She just never dared to mention it.

Meng Wuzhen was arrogant and proud. She wouldnât want to irritate him.
âOrder!â Meng Wuzhen took a breath. The letter in his hand was tweaked. A cloud of cyan smoke rose up. The letter was burned.
He gritted his teeth, taking deep breaths, trying to stay calm. âPick some good men, twenty men, of the Dark Hall. They have to be Undead Stage cultivators. Go to the north of the North Sky and kill Ye Xiao at all costs!â
