The man casually smiled and said, “Well, you won’t owe me anything as long as you don’t need my help anymore! If you come to me and ask for my help, you know what I will do!”
The Red Phoenix was furious. She flashed and rushed up to the sky. “Retreat!”
She left as fast as she could with blazing fury in her heart.
The superior cultivators of the Hall of Returning Nature couldn’t understand why they must retreat because they obviously won the battle. They noticed the men who came to the battle in the end, but they were obviously weak cultivators…
Well, they were Saint Origin Stage cultivators, but they were below the middle level. They couldn’t think of any possibility why the Red Phoenix should listen to them!
No matter what, people of the Hall of Returning Nature must follow orders. Zhu Menghun left before the fight started, and the Red Phoenix retreated in the end. It didn’t make sense, but the men still followed the order.
Hundreds of them flew out and collected the dead bodies of their own people. After that, thousands of them flew up to the sky and disappeared.
Only less than forty men were left, who were all injured. They all looked at the two men who came to rescue them.
‘Who are they?’
‘How is this possible? How did he convince the Red Phoenix by just a few words? She just gave up the victory and left!’
Guan Changfeng was hurt the least among the people. He felt grateful for the men who just saved his father and all the others. He walked over, holding the wound on his chest and said, “Thank you for your help. May I have your name? The Guan Clan and the Song Clan will never forget what you have done for us!”
The two men didn’t turn around. One of them blandly said, “I happened to be passing by. It was just a few words. Don’t mention it. Farewell.”
After that, they were ready to leave.
Master Guan suddenly spoke in a shaking voice, “Monarch Ye! Lord Monarch!”
As Master Guan said so, everybody else was shocked.
‘Monarch Ye?’
‘Lord Monarch?’
‘Is it Ye Xiao?’
‘How… How is this possible?’
Anybody could have owed the Hall of Life and Death a favor because of the rules of the Hall of Life and Death. However, it was hard to believe that Ye Xiao would come to save them!
First of all, the City of Chaos was in a horrible balance. The Hall of Life and Death was an important role to keep the balance. It had the power to save anybody from death, and it didn’t pick a side in the war.
If the Hall of Life and Death helped anybody, it offended the other forces. It was foolish for Ye Xiao to do such a thing because it might lead the Hall of Life and Death into a dangerous situation.
Second, the City of Chaos had three powerful forces that restrained each other in the city. They all wanted the treatment of the Hall of Life and Death, but none of them could ever earn Ye Xiao’s loyalty. The Great Ye Army, the House of Chaotic Storms, and the Hall of Returning Nature were not going to get Ye Xiao’s special support. The Great Ye Army had messed with the Monarch’s Hall earlier, so it was unreasonable for Ye Xiao to help this organization. It was ridiculous that the Monarch’s Hall would rescue the seven clans!
The third was the most important. These men all had served the Monarch’s Hall, and they knew how incredible Ye Xiao’s dan beads were. They knew he was a great man, and they believed he would come to rescue them despite what they had done to him.
However, they also knew that this monarch was too young and too weak. As they remembered, he was only at level five of the Faery Origin Stage in the beginning and reached level six of the Divinity Origin Stage when they left. A level-six Divinity Origin Stage cultivator wasn’t too weak, but could never make any difference in a battle like this!
The man who rescued them was obviously a Saint Origin Stage cultivator!
As they could remember, Ye Xiao was at level six of the Divinity Origin Stage several months earlier. No matter how fast he improved, it was impossible to reach the Saint Origin Stage!
The men of the two clans didn’t believe what Master Guan said!
The man blandly said to Master Guan, “Old man, you are hurt. You must have lost your mind. I am not your Lord Monarch!”
Nobody said anything to respond, but they all agreed. Master Guan was being ridiculous now. Master Song didn’t say a word, but he seemed to be enlightened.
Master Guan sadly said, “Lord Monarch, we failed you. The Guan Clan failed you. I have lived a long life, and I have never mistaken a man with my eyes.”
The man was obviously Ye Xiao. The Red Phoenix had never owed anybody else a favor!
Ye Xiao stayed silent for a while, and he said, “As a righteous man with honor in the martial world, I should help whoever is mistreated. It is dangerous in the martial world. It is better that we never see each other. Farewell, guys.”
Master Guan wanted to say something, but Ye Xiao didn’t let him. He and the other man flashed in purple light and disappeared in the sky.
Master Guan didn’t have the chance to speak again.
He looked at where the two men disappeared and stayed silent for a long time.
He was lost.
Master Song staggered over and said, “Was it really Monarch Ye? Are you sure?”
Master Song had noticed it, but he hoped Master Guan was wrong. They could owe anybody else, but they wouldn’t want to owe Ye Xiao such a favor. They couldn’t bear the guilt!
Master Guan coldly said, “Are you blind? Or have you lost your mind? Did you not recognize him, really?”
Master Song suddenly sighed and kept his head low.
Master Guan coldly humphed and said, “One is wise and generous, while the other is stupid and arrogant. One is confident and profound, while the other is a moron. One can stir waves in the world, while the other jump into the waves and get slammed… One treats us as friends and families, while the other treats us as tools… Sadly, we must follow and serve the latter. We have been looking forward to a wise man for all those years, yet it turns out to be a man like that!”
