1497 The Hall of Life and Death (1/2)
When Bu Xiangfeng was lost in thoughts, Ye Xiao casually said, ”In fact, there are ten most powerful sects of the Limitless Ocean, and the eight most powerful forces too… People keep talking about it. It seems they have been fighting with their lives in the martial world… The truth is that only a few of the most powerful ones are truly spending their time in the Limitless Ocean.”
”The Limitless Ocean is just a limited area of the world. The real ambitious people would never only focus on this place. What they do is simply improving themselves in this place, waiting for an opportunity to shine upon the masses…”
Ye Xiao blandly said, ”These people are still here, making noises in the chaos, only because they are not good enough… Since they are not good enough, they have to compete… In the end, only a few of these people can get their talents revealed.”
”While these people are refining themselves in the competition, I will be improving.”
Ye Xiao casually said, ”I am still weak. In fact, I am as weak as nothing. However, it still could be me who eventually reached the top of the world!”
'It still could be me who eventually reached the top of the world!'
What hid behind those words shocked Bu Xiangfeng!
He was thinking that this young lord was not ambitious enough because he didn't join the battle of chaos. Now he knew that he was much more than ambitious! He was too ambitious to live safely!
If Ye Xiao kept going on like this, Bu Xiangfeng might become nobody to him someday…
Bu Xiangfeng thought of the words Ye Xiao said to him. ”Old Bu, just watch me. I will do it… You will beg to stay in the Monarch's Hall!”
As he thought of it, he didn't dare to taunt this young master anymore.
'What if he… What if he will make it?'
'Besides… His name is Ye.'
Bu Xiangfeng had a complicated feeling.
At this moment, some special birds that appeared to be in red color started to fly up to the sky from everywhere. It took them only one second to fly through the clouds.
What was left behind were some dim flickering shadows and the narrow spatial fissures.
”Divine Fleeting Bird! There are so many of them!”
Bu Xiangfeng was surprised. ”It means people are asking for help. Many people need help. There are dozens of the Divine Fleeting Birds right there.”
Ye Xiao nodded and said, ”Old Bu, I need you to do one thing for me.”
”What is it?” Bu Xiangfeng asked.
”I need you to let the high-level cultivators know that there is a place called the Hall of Life and Death… It is right here. We can turn death to life. We can cure those who are dying. However, we only do it for itinerant cultivators.”
Ye Xiao said, ”One more thing. Who wants me to save his life has to do one thing for me. He can either join us, follow me, and obey me, or he can kill one person for us, whenever, wherever, whoever it is!”
”I don't need any guarantee or mortgage. I only need the blood of their heart, and the vow to the heavens!”
Ye Xiao said.
”That is too much…” Bu Xiangfeng was surprised. ”Most of the Itinerant cultivator wouldn't lose their dignity. I don't think they will accept the terms.”
Ye Xiao blandly said, ”I am asking you to do this. It is not your job to worry about their answers!”
”We can recruit people in many other ways. Why do you have to do it with cruelty?” Bu Xiangfeng didn't understand.
”This is a cruel time, and that is why we should do things in a cruel way. Itinerant cultivators have a lot of choices if they want to join an organization. Why would they choose me?” Ye Xiao said, ”Who would join a group of messes?”
”That is why I only recruit those who are dying. I will save their lives, and so they will spend their lives to follow me.”
Ye Xiao said, ”I am not forcing them. I am offering a deal. It is a business! It is fair!”
Bu Xiangfeng made a sigh.
Ye Xiao was true.
A high-level itinerant cultivator was always prideful. If they would join any forces, they would have done it long ago.
If the itinerant cultivators did not belong to any organization, it was hopeless to recruit them. The big organizations must have tried to recruit these people and failed already.
What Ye Xiao did was to take advantage of others' misfortunes, but it was the only practical way he had to expand the organization.
Bu Xiangfeng had faith in Ye Xiao now.
No matter how those people joined him, they would naturally become loyal to him in the end!
Bu Xiangfeng knew it because he experienced it… He realized that he did not want to leave this organization now, even though he had just spent a short time… He just wouldn't admit it!
He would never cry in tears, begging Ye Xiao for a position to stay!
Well, wouldn't he really?
”When you do this, remember one thing… We need them to come to us, but you have to pretend that you are telling them a piece of secret information…” Ye Xiao said.
”Why?” Bu Xiangfeng was surprised. ”Why do we have to make it look so mysterious?”
”It is too complicated to explain. Just do it as I say. I have spent too much time explaining things to you. I am not doing it again.” Ye Xiao said, ”All in all, just spread the message through some underground channels…”
”Only high-level cultivators who have reached at least the Divinity Origin Stage…”
”Just make it as mysterious as you can.”
Ye Xiao looked at Bu Xiangfeng and suddenly lit up his eyes. He said, ”Old Bu, I know you have a vicious tongue, but I am sure you have friends in this city. Just tell the message to three of them, and your job is done.”
Bu Xiangfeng stared at Ye Xiao and said, ”What? What did you just say? Who has a vicious tongue?”
Ye Xiao was surprised. 'Who has a vicious tongue?'
'What a question!'
'Your vicious tongue is killing everybody in the world. Are you sure you want to deny it?'
He said, ”You don't have three friends? Well, that's reasonable. Maybe there are some people you know, but they just don't want to know you. Fine. They don't have to be your friends, just some people you know will do…”
