Realms In The Firmament

Sometimes, when you are scared, the thing that scare you comes.

The secret organization did it again.

This time, they targeted Sikong Clan, which was more powerful than many other clans!

Another one of the nine great clans!

Suddenly, it brought a chill into everybody’s heart.

“When did it happen?” Ye Xiao frowned and shot out a dan bead with a flick of a finger. The dan bead shot out about one hundred meters and got into the messenger’s mouth.

The man moaned and slowly woke up, and he realized his clan chief and great ancestor were staying around him, watching him with concerns. Ge Zhenfeng asked, “When did it happen?”

As the dan bead was eaten, the man was back to consciousness, and he answered hurriedly, “It was last night… Now I am afraid Sikong Clan is… It must be…”

“Last night!” Ge Zhenfeng’s face turned dark, and he stood up and turned to Ye Xiao. He got down on his knees again and said, “Lord Xiao Monarch!”

He was about to cry out with tears.

Everybody was watching Ye Xiao with anxiety in the eyes, begging, “Lord Xiao Monarch!”

They just wouldn’t get up.

Ye Xiao sighed and said gently, “Fine, fine… I have been an independent cultivator… I have been quite a lot to get what I have today. Everybody has his own difficulty… I can understand your concerns…”

He thought for a while and then gritted his teeth, said, “The world is going to fall into a mess. I can stay away from the mess, but it is the right thing to do to help the world resist the evil. Since you all trust me, I… I will try my best to fight this evil organization to the end of my life!”

As he finished talking, the crowd burst into waves of cheer.

“Thank you, Lord Xiao Monarch! You are such a righteous and kind hero!”

“Lord Xiao Monarch is kind and generous! We are sincerely grateful!”

“As long as Lord Xiao Monarch stands high and leads the fight, we believe the evil organization till be destroyed soon!”

Ye Xiao looked serious and said, “I know that you trust me, have faith in me, but I have a few words that I want you to remember. Do not blindly feel confident. Don’t just see the good side of ourselves, but not the strong points of the enemies. I know that even though we will do whatever we can, it may not turn out to be an optimistic result for us… I personally fear nothing. However, our enemy is too powerful, horribly powerful. We must not lose alert…

“Guys, be prepared.

“One more thing, since you all choose me to be the leader, I have to make sure that you all follow my orders… You must know that even though we have the heart to unite, we are still a group of unfamiliar people. Compared to the enemy’s well-trained troops, we are weak. If you don’t follow my order… I don’t see why we waste time to fight.”

The cultivators all nodded, willing to follow the monarch’s orders.

“Now, since we are determined to fight against them… Master Ge!” Ye Xiao looked at Ge Zhenfeng, “We need regulations which we will all follow… and tells us how to fight the war… I need the list about who guarding which area and how we can contact each other…

“We need it now.”

Ye Xiao spoke a lot afterward, and the others all listened carefully.

Ge Zhenfeng had arranged two people to take notes.

Ye Xiao looked at the Dao Origin Stage cultivators and took a breath with relief. Now there was finally an embryo of the army that was going to fight the secret organization.

He knew that it was still too weak to resist the powerful organization.

However, it would grow into an overwhelming force soon.

Every force didn’t just come up from nothing! It took time for a big group to grow from no one!

People kept listening to Ye Xiao and taking notes. Everybody was thinking, trying to come up with some useful suggestions. When Xiao Monarch finished, they would propose their advice.

They all knew that it was a battle that they couldn’t escape.

It was a life-or-death battle.

Once it started, they would have to keep going forward. Only death or victory will put an end to it.

Everybody was trying to contribute. No one was being selfish.

It was the battle of fate!

It was the battle for the future. Without a future, nothing mattered!

…

Ye Xiao was pretentious indeed, but he wasn’t trying to sell himself for a higher price or anything… If he didn’t do this, the others would know that he was going to fight the evil organization no matter what the others did.

They would think that Ye Xiao needed them to help him.

The world’s most powerful cultivator needed others to help. They might think that Ye Xiao treated them as expendable forces. They might also think that Ye Xiao should do whatever he could to return the favor to the others. Perhaps they would think that they shouldn’t die before Ye Xiao died. Some of them might even connect each other to try to take over Ye Xiao’s position!

Ye Xiao had seen too much of the evilness in people’s hearts. After all, he was living a second life now. It was not a difficult thing to solve problems like such, but he didn’t want to waste time dealing with the problem inside themselves while fighting against the enemy!

That was why he had to do it this way. Other than having the possibility to cause any problems, he preferred to let those people beg him to join the war. He had acted like it was a difficult choice to make to fight the battle so that those cultivators would think that they owe Ye Xiao to have him become their leader…

It was a totally different kind of mindset for an army.

At least these people would have much stronger motivation and initiative.

All in all, it wouldn’t be easy to get these cultivators to collaborate!
