Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were already too many complaints. The problem had to be solved.
“What to do?”
That was the question they had to consider.
“Old Guan, what do you say?” Ju Jincui, Master Ju, looked at Guan Tiemian who had been silent all this while.
Master Guan obviously looked much better than the other six old men. He casually sat there, drinking hot tea, and didn’t even raise his eyelids a bit.
The other six old men were looking at him at the moment. Master Guan slowly raised his head and said, “What should we do? What do you want me to say? The great young master has made a big move this time. He has taken over three hundred of the Brotherhood Alliance’s sources of income… He got a lot of materials and money from the operation, a small part of which went into the storage of the Great Ye Army. That’s fair. It belongs to the Great Ye Army after all. Well, most of the money and materials went into the pockets of some people in the Great Ye Army… That is not so good.
“Just imagine the loss it brought to the Brotherhood Alliance’s fame. If we are the Brotherhood Alliance, what would we do? What should we do to react?”
Master Guan looked at Master Qin.
Master Qin’s face turned dark. He said, “The Brotherhood Alliance can never stand straight up in the Limitless Ocean if they don’t solve this properly! They are not going to rule this place if they still show weakness to us! Even if the Great Ye Army gives them back all those things, they still can’t get their fame back!”
“That is right. It will become a war that never ends! That’s it!” Master Yun said.
Master Guan nodded and said, “What do you want me to say then? That’s it! Isn’t it obvious? What’s the point if we keep discussing this?” Master Guan gave a conclusion. “That is what it is. That’s it.
“Oh, by the way, there is another consequence. I guess you all know what it is, old men. The Brotherhood Alliance felt extremely humiliated. They have never been hostile to the Great Ye Army. In fact, they have shown their kindness to the Great Ye Army again and again. Now that the Great Ye Army is strong enough, we actually attacked them first. Well, that is such a humiliation…
“The Brotherhood Alliance has shown a good face to us, yet the young man slapped the Brotherhood Alliance on the face so hard. Honestly, what he did is wrong… You know what I mean, don’t you?”
Master Guan said, “The Brotherhood Alliance is an organization of itinerant cultivators. They cherish honesty the most. If I were the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, I would kill myself… It’s just too embarrassing… What a humiliation!”
The six old men sighed.
That was the truth. Honesty was the most important thing for all the itinerant cultivators!
“If the Brotherhood Alliance wants to get their prestige back, they must fight back. Only a victory can save their fame.”
Master Guan said, “I am sure the Brotherhood Alliance’s people are on their way.”
“What should we do about it?” Master Ju asked.
“Well, it depends on the young lord.” Master Guan said, “I am in charge of the system of penalty and rewards. I have nothing to say about other issues.
“The Brotherhood Alliance is going to make a strong strike back at us. The Great Ye Army is not powerful enough to fight that. We have no choice now. We must go for it. If we leave it, the Great Ye Army will collapse. The Great Ancestor will never forgive us… Well, if we get involved, we will have to face the Brotherhood Alliance… This is not good…”
Master Qin seemed upset.
“We have been training for over one hundred thousand years. We don’t fear any ordinary forces in the world. However, the Brotherhood Alliance is not an ordinary force, to be honest. They have lived in the Limitless Ocean for hundreds of thousands of years… Besides, we were hiding… We never dared to show our power. They have always been soft, so they never reached their hands to the management system of the city. The Brotherhood Alliance has shown us respect, and that is why we can get along well for such a long time. Now it’s different.”
“This is not a good sign,” Master Yun said.
“We need one clan to stand up and test the Brotherhood Alliance’s power. We must know how determined they are before making any plans. The Great Ye Army can’t do this job. Once they start to lose, they collapse. I am not kidding.”
After Master Yun’s talk, the six old men all looked at Master Guan.
“Don’t you look at me! What?” Master Guan stood up and showed them an indifferent face. “We have gone for the first strike for the seven clans. You can’t ask us to do it again. Don’t you take me as a fool!”
The other six old men were embarrassed. None of them dared to say anything.
“Any of you want to go, we won’t stop you. The Guan Clan is hurt. We need to rest.”
Master Guan coldly smiled and left the room
The other six old men looked at each other, and nobody stopped Master Guan.
The seven clans had decided, and the Guan Clan had agreed to make the first move, so Master Guan joined the Monarch’s Hall to test Ye Xiao. Master Guan had done it for the seven clans, so he had all the reasons to refuse it now.
Master Guan had a good excuse too. The Guan Clan was hurt. His heart was broken. The six old men knew the truth. They knew it would be cruel to ask the Guan Clan to go first!
Master Guan refused to go, so one of the other six had to. It wouldn’t be difficult if the situation wasn’t this dangerous. Whoever went first would have to face the thundering attack of the Brotherhood Alliance. It wouldn’t end well.
None of them wanted to do it!
However, some of them had to. The Great Ye Army was new. The most powerful thing about this army was its name. The young man, the descendant of the Great Ye Clan, Ye Yunduan, had told the world who he was. If they retreated now, it would disgrace their great ancestor.
The seven clans had no choice!
“The descendant of the Great Ye Clan is truly… a…” Master Yun shook his head and sighed. Master Song was showing a dark face. Master Ju rolled up both eyes and then lowered his head.
They all thought of the Monarch’s Hall and Ye Xiao, and they all felt so upset about it.
