What upset the Golden Phoenix mostly was that… The Hall of Returning Nature had sent spies to get into the Monarch’s Hall, just like they did to the Guan Clan and the Great Ye Army before. However, when the fight began, the Hall of Returning Nature didn’t get any response from their men in the Monarch’s Hall, even though they kept sending signals. The Golden Phoenix knew a few of them, and she saw them, but they just didn’t respond to the signal. In fact, those men had become loyal to the Monarch’s Hall!
She didn’t understand why her own people would turn against her!
It was so weird!
Perhaps, they had decided to stay undercover for further goals, but they seemed to be dying for the Monarch’s Hall! How was that going to serve any further goals?
These people had become loyal members of the Monarch’s Hall!
The Golden Phoenix was confused, but she at least understood one thing. She couldn’t let the Monarch’s Hall exist!
An organization like that, which was united, powerful, and spirited must be a huge threat to the Hall of Returning Nature! All the Monarch’s Hall needed was time. When it truly rose in the world, even the Hall of Returning Nature couldn’t compare it!
It was definitely a huge threat to the Hall of Returning Nature!
She knew it was necessary to destroy the Monarch’s Hall once and for all!
“Rest for half a day!” The Golden Phoenix gave the order. “Recover yourselves! After that, we make the final attack! All of us go out together! We will destroy them!”
“Half a day isn’t enough.” The Tiger in the Dream said, “We are exhausted. Our backup won’t arrive before tomorrow. If we make the final attack in half a day, maybe we will destroy the Monarch’s Hall, but most of our men will die. No more than five hundred will survive. It is too much a cost. We can’t afford it!” The Tiger in the Dream said.
The Golden Phoenix gritted her teeth. Her eyes shined in cold lights. She said, “Tiger, the longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes. Don’t you understand?”
“Yes, I do. But we just can’t do it.” The Tiger in the Dream bitterly smiled and said, “If we do this, I can make sure I am safe, but you and Red will die. The three of the eight Sky Masters and the last one of the Four Kong Warriors will die too!”
“I don’t care about the others, but you guys can’t just die like this… What do I tell the Young Master? You are important to him. He won’t let you die.” The Tiger in the Dream finished talking.
The Gold Phoenix was shocked. She didn’t say anything but made a long sigh in the end.
…
In the House of the Chaotic Storms.
– Pah! –
Master Bai clapped on the table. He angrily said, “What is wrong with Ye Xiao? I believed in him! I thought he was my destined opponent! How come he is losing this? What is going on?”
He frowned and said, “The Monarch’s Hall has a lot of supreme dan beads. How come they are losing so fast? Even though the Hall of Returning Nature may have some help from the third party, the Monarch’s Hall should have done more than just these. Why were they just keep having a face-to-face conflict? I don’t see any schemes at all… Those units were making good moves in the beginning, but most of the time, they just rushed into the battle and fought unwisely… Why did he make such stupid decisions?”
Wan’er didn’t say anything. After a while, she said, “Maybe… Maybe Ye Xiao isn’t commanding…”
Xiu’er said, “That’s right. I have a feeling. It doesn’t look like what the Xiao Monarch will do.”
Master Bai frowned and said, “Well, it doesn’t, but… This is important for the Monarch’s Hall. It decides its future. What reason does Ye Xiao have for not commanding his army by himself? Besides, he is losing! Shouldn’t he do something?”
Wan’er and Xiu’er were both quiet.

That was right. It was such a good question.
Even if Ye Xiao wasn’t commanding in the beginning, he should do it now as the Monarch’s Hall was going to lose the war soon. It didn’t make sense. If Ye Xiao showed up two months earlier, things wouldn’t become so bad for the Monarch’s Hall!
However, it did happen!
Master Bai was so smart, but he was confused at the moment!
He knew something was wrong, but what was it?
“Is he… Is Ye Xiao dead?”
Master Bai murmured.
The two ladies looked at each other. They were shocked.
‘Master is having a bold guess. It could be true. However, if Ye Xiao is dead, how come his men are still so loyal to him? Sacrificing their lives for a dead man? It doesn’t make sense! Is it possible?’
‘Why? What happened?’
…
The morning wind blew away the blood mist in the air.
After one night, people on both sides got some power back. No matter how severely wounded they were, they were beyond the Saint Origin Stage. Their recovery was faster than normal people. As the wind blew away the fog on the mountain, people started to stand up, with the dry bloodstains on the body.
Their eyes were looking to the direction where the City of Chaos was located.
Their eyes were clear.
They all looked in the same direction but didn’t say a word.
‘Lord Monarch!’
‘After today, we can’t fight with you anymore!’
…
Qiu Luo stood up from a bush. He waved a hand and collected some dew in his hand. He drank it up and washed his face.
While he was washing his face, blood rushed up through his throat. He spat it out and nearly fall down.
He staggered and said, “After this fight today, I will go to meet my wife. I should clean myself up, or she won’t recognize me…”
…
In the air, all that could be heard was silence. It was the sound of death.
After a long while, the Poison King stopped calling for poisonous beasts. He smiled bitterly, “Within thousands of miles, there is not even one poisonous thing…” He breathed a sigh and started to run his martial art.
