Chapter 1899: A fight with the Monarch
Mo Feiyun’s eyes had a trace of a complicated expression flit across them. He said, “Monarch Ye, you coming in person is already a show of goodwill, and my brothers and I will engrave this thought on our hearts. However, for Monarch Ye to talk bluntly about your idea for the whole world, this battle that is spanning the whole world, the Monarch’s Hall presumably wants to participate no matter what.”
Mo Feiyun was the Brotherhood’s big shot in charge, and he was not ashamed. His words were as sharp as a spearpoint, and pointed straight at the core–
Right now, the circumstances were obvious. Obtaining the shelter of the Monarch’s Hall was naturally a good matter, but the Brotherhood was at an absolute disadvantage. They were nearly made into a sacrificial fish on the altar, letting the Monarch’s Hall make demands and seize power. If the Monarch’s Hall wasn’t going to intervene in the world’s power struggle, then even if they invested a large cost, if it didn’t involve human life, inevitably there could be some negotiations.
But Ye Xiao had clearly said that his intent was for the whole world. So long as the Monarch’s Hall’s side entered the fight, the Brotherhood would certainly be reduced to the Monarch’s Hall’s advance troops, no different than cannon fodder. The final circumstances would be like this, and then what was the difference with the situation they were in before? Mo Feiyun exposing this point, actually facing this problem head on, is also the Brotherhood’s side’s crucial point for not relying on help from the Monarch’s Hall. It was necessary to clearly explain this!
Ye Xiao quietly sipped his tea, not in a hurry to respond.
“The Brotherhood’s current plan is to maintain the lives of our family. Monarch’s Hall showing us a good place to stay and withdraw inside would maintain lives, but the Monarch’s Hall actually wants to go out in the end and head for the battlefield.”
Mo Feiyun’s voice was heavy. “Since this is the case, for the lives my side is concerned with to continue to exist, we still must have a confrontation. The six big powers possess the five great Sky Kings and Big Mister Ye’s top-notch strength. Does the Monarch’s Hall seriously have this kind of strength?!”
“So?” Ye Xiao’s eyes drooped low as he quietly asked.
“So I require some proof, or I should say a guarantee. Monarch Ye has to guarantee our brothers’ security, or say… decrease our side’s losses. If not… both sides are death, so surrendering to the Monarch’s Hall absolutely has even less significance!”
Mo Feiyun said in a sinking voice, “Even though Monarch is the sacrificial altar and I am the fish, some words must still be said. We, the Brotherhood, can act as the advance troops for the Monarch’s Hall, and we can even go so far as to fight and die on the battleground, but we are ini no way able to be cannon fodder. This is our side’s bottom line, and I’m convinced that Senior Monarch can show some appreciation for this!”
Mo Feiyun threw his side’s bottom line out all at once. This seemed impossibly stupid, but was actually the most wise way of handling this. The Monarch’s Hall was already the Brotherhood’s final strand of hope. So long as the situation for the Brotherhood troops wasn’t as bad as them being reduced to cannon fodder, and they were capable of placing a portion of their members in the tree fortress to survive for a long time, they would still fundamentally continue to exist. So long as they had the leeway to pass their knowledge down from one generation to the next, keeping the spark alive, then everything else wasn’t a problem!
Conversely, if Ye Xiao couldn’t even meet this one point of most minimum guarantee, that just shows that from head to tail he didn’t have any sincerity!
Ye Xiao slowly nodded. “What kind of proof does Chief Mo want? What sort of way do you want to handle this?”
Mo Feiyun unhurriedly raised his head, and his eyes had a sharp and mysterious light shine in them. Word by word, he said, “I wish to have a fight with Monarch Ye!”
Ye Xiao said, “En?”
Mo Feiyun said, “Just with this battle as the note, it will decide the Brotherhood’s final affiliation!”
“If I lose, the Brotherhood will seek shelter with the Monarch’s Hall!”
Mo Feiyun said, “If I’m victorious, I will dissolve the Brotherhood, and let the many brothers of the Brotherhood belong thoroughly to the Jianghu, and the Brotherhood will from this day be no more, every person securing their own fate… As for Monarch Ye and how many helping hands he can obtain in the end, I will wait to see Senior Monarch’s means.”
Mo Feiyun’s words were as sharp as the point of a spear, and directly pushed the Brotherhood up to the edge of the last cliff. Nevertheless, they also had no alternative, no road to follow forward or back. If the Brotherhood tipped to defeat and was absorbed into the Monarch’s Hall, it naturally wouldn’t exist anymore. If victory, then the Brotherhood would disband from then on, and still wouldn’t exist anymore!
However, Mo Feiyun dealt with this affair clearly and firmly. If you, Ye Xiao, are incapable of beating me, I would rather disband the Brotherhood and scatter them to the east and west, each person seeking their own destiny, and not bear in mind an incapable senior!
Ye Xiao sprung up and said, “Since it’s like this, then I will have a battle with Brother Mo. If you lose, Feiyun, I will regard the Brotherhood’s brothers as my hands and feet!”
Feiyun!
A certain someone unexpectedly started addressing him by his given name and not his surname. That was clearly the address of a monarch to his subject.
Mo Feiyun’s face sank like water. “If Monarch Ye desires to address me this way, do you have the qualifications?! Please!”
“Please!”
The two people were already determined, and together they arrived in the rear courtyard.
The Brotherhood’s remaining eight big shots naturally all followed them, each and every one of them showing their worry on their face.
With regards to this circumstance, naturally everyone didn’t want to see their eldest brother lose a fight, but they all understood that this one fight’s result was seriously related to whether their Brotherhood would live or die, exist or perish.
Mo Feiyun actually said that he would dissolve the Brotherhood, and order the many brothers of the family to thoroughly scatter and enter the Jianghu, hiding from worldly affairs. Indeed this could preserve a portion of their manpower, but the overwhelming majority would inevitably die to the big powers. Once the Brotherhood disbanded, the individual strength would naturally be even more incapable of withstanding the pressure from all the powers, and they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to carry on. They could foresee that their distressing prospects were to face death at any time!
But indeed, seeing Mo Feiyun’s appearance, he obviously had the heart to fight this one fight with his full strength. Admittedly Ye Xiao was legendary in his generation. He rose quickly and abruptly, his current cultivation base was high, and he could be said to be a legend. However, he still had his limits. On the contrary, everyone already knew that their eldest brother was a talent hidden from the world, with a high cultivation base and having already arrived at the peak. Previously he hadn’t revealed himself, because he was afraid of the consequences of drawing the attention of the big powers, that’s all!
In the middle of the field.
Ye Xiao leisurely stood on one side, and harmoniously said, “Feiyun, our battle is precisely classified as that of familiar hometown friends swapping pointers. What point do we want to go to?”
Mo Feiyun strictly smiled a cold smile, and in a sinking voice said, “I’ll just listen to Monarch Ye. This Mo has already not gone out to pass hands for quite a while, I’ve seriously already nearly forgotten what it’s like to injure someone!”
To the side, the eight brothers all sighed together.
You still haven’t hit him, this has already shown weakness. Is this considered to be admonishing your big brother, and not wanting to take it too seriously…?
Stop it, who was the one who called for you to compare your current strengths!
“Since it’s like this, come then!”
Ye Xiao still maintained his original motionless stance, but it seemed like his whole person had a meteoric rise straight to the high levels, charging to the high altitudes above. He faintly said, “High in the clouds above, a fight with the Monarch!”
High in the clouds above, a fight with the Monarch!
This sentence caused the most calculating of them, Shangguan Lingxiao, to momentarily daydream of noting it down in writing.
Right now, the nominal leader of the Ye Family forces was a famous name known as Ye Yunduan, Yunduan meaning high in the clouds. The Ye family forces all used the appellation Young Master Yunduan for him, but Ye Xiao wants to fight above Yunduan (high in the clouds)!
This sentence in the end was a coincidence, but still had other hidden connotations, it was rather thought-provoking…
By the time that Shangguan Lingxiao’s attention returned, the middle of the field already didn’t have the shadow of the leader.
“The leader?”
“He followed after Monarch Ye and arrived above in the heavens…”
“Why didn’t you follow for a look?”
“They clearly wanted to keep this battle away from us, why would we follow? You really didn’t catch that meaningful glance?!”
“This…”
Shangguan Lingxiao stomped his feet. This group was really full of pig heads…
Right now it sucked, even if they tried to catch up with them and follow them up, most likely they wouldn’t be able to find them. This was clearly the same as them avoiding the brothers, but for them not to follow, even if their hearts were uneasy, ah…
…
High above in the ninth heaven, the strong astral winds fiercely screamed. Astonishingly, this high altitude was above where Divine Sense could reach.
