1884 – Poking the Hornet’s Nes (1/2)

Old Man Guan’s eyes flashed. He asked in a sinking voice, “Who?”

“Monarch’s Hall!” Ye Yunduan said softly. “In these few years, the Monarch’s Hall has been concealing their strength and biding time all along, recovering and recuperating, keeping their real battle strength a secret all along. Although their casualties in the fight between the two halls were disastrous, their high-level losses were next to nothing. Also, the Monarch’s Hall’s members advance their strength at a godly speed, by far beating any influence of the present age. Even if they don’t have an Undead Stage rank 9 expert, if they used a large amount of extremely powerful high-level cultivators, they wouldn’t necessarily be unable to bring about a similar result to this event!

Again think deeper, this one act of shifting the blame could be said to have caused all the powers inside the Limitless Ocean to meet with calamity and have disastrous losses. Like us, since we seem without damage, we have made countless enemies throughout the world. Only the Monarch’s Hall genuinely has not even a hair damaged, they have perfectly stayed out of it!”

Ye Yunduan said, “Everyone can think about it carefully. I think that although this theory is a bit shocking, so much so that it is regarded as too much strength for the Monarch’s Hall to have, but as this incident’s sole power that gained an advantage from it? The suspicion is indeed the greatest, can we ignore this possibility?”

The seven old men simultaneously sighed.

“If we only listen to Young Master Ye’s analysis, it indeed makes sense. It is a fact as well that the Monarch’s Hall isn’t even a hair damaged by this incident…” Old Man Song wrinkled his brows. “But, leaving aside the fact that the Monarch’s Hall doesn’t have this kind of formidable battle power, as this senile old man believes that sentence of Young Master Ye, you actually said that the Monarch’s Hall was precisely the only advantageous one… This so-called advantage of the Monarch’s Hall, where exactly is it?”

Ye Yunduan said, “The Monarch’s Hall hasn’t suffered the slightest bit of damage during this event, and at the same time managed to completely stay out of it. How is this not occupying the greatest advantage?”

Ye Yunduan’s complexion changed. His previous confidence immediately stagnated, and he stopped. “Please direct me, Old Man Yun!”

Old Man Yun, shutting him up, said, “Young Master Ye, don’t tell me you don’t know that the Monarch’s Hall didn’t just today start being perfectly uninvolved. As early as several years ago after the two Hall’s war, they started this state of being uninvolved! But I would also like to ask, who could possibly make the Monarch’s Hall suffer a loss, or even someone who could let the Monarch’s Hall’s Life and Death Hall suffer even a tiny bit of damage?”

Ye Yunduan’s complexion appeared to be ugly.

Yes, who could let the Monarch’s Hall suffer a loss?

They had the unrivalled in the world tree fortress barrier. Even if they directly confronted the Seven Golden Lotuses, they could also defend themselves.

In that way, they only had to not come out and absolutely no one could make them suffer even the tiniest loss!

They had maintained the state of not getting involved for such a long time already, for quite a long time before this situation. Your thesis concludes that they are suspicious, but how are they guilty of any trouble?

At the side, several Ye Family elders also nodded continuously.

“Besides, let’s talk again about the Monarch’s Hall’s definite strength.” Old Man Yun said, getting somewhat angry, “Whether or not the Monarch’s Hall has this capability I don’t know, and I don’t dare to assert one way or the other, but… two years ago at their fight with the Hall of Returning Nature, the Monarch’s Hall’s hundreds of thousands were reduced to just three or four thousand people… the conclusion of that battle I know, but I also saw it with my own eyes.”

“Although the cultivation conditions inside the Monarch’s Hall’s Life and Death Hall are exceptionally good, but if it is capable of promoting a group of Saint Origin Stage, or at most Eternal Life Stage Initial Stage cultivators to having five Eternal Stage powerhouses within two years of time, I haven’t heard about it… As it should be, Young Master Ye just now said that it would take a large amount of high level cultivators to act together, afterwards we pretend it’s the doings of five Eternal Stage powerhouses. This theory holds water, but if they had this great amount of high level cultivators two years ago, they had to have had considerable strength, right? Even if it wasn’t Undead Stage Peak cultivation level, they had to have had Undead Stage Middle or Initial rank cultivation levels. On this point we old fellows can testify, the Monarch’s Hall absolutely didn’t have this kind of power, they didn’t even have many Eternal Life Stage cultivators! If they had that kind of power, why go so far as to see hundreds of thousands of followers dying in vain?”

Old Man Yun’s vision was a bit disappointed and pained as he looked at Ye Yunduan. “Thirdly, from the approach of one’s conduct… The Monarch’s Hall, Monarch Ye, after all saved everyone’s life, including yours and mine…”
