Chapter 1907 : Destruction of Returning Nature
Regardless of what triggered this battle, whether it was someone else who instigated it by surreptitiously playing tricks or not, in the end at this time, none of that was important.
What was important was only one thing, only one point: this war already couldn’t be prevented!
Perhaps the Ye Family forces, Heaven’s Leaf, and the Seven Golden Lotuses wouldn’t survive, or perhaps the five skies would face their downfall, with only the Ye dominant!
The atmosphere was heavy enough to almost cause someone to be unable to breathe. If one wished to breathe in a mouthful of air, you would also apparently breathe in others’ Divine Sense…
Ten thousand trees noiselessly waited for rain to arrive!
However, it was just in this kind of subtle moment that one sudden unforeseen event set off a huge controversy, with the momentum of an explosion!
Hall of Returning Nature assembly helm location, Mt. Tong.
On this day, someone destroyed the mountain gate.
“Meng Wuzhen! Your debt’s creditor has come! Roll out and come accept your death!”
Ye Xiao’s voice rolled past the vast sky like thunder, shaking the horizon.
The Hall of Returning Nature’s big gate was smashed same moment that this sound arrived, and to the side, there were eight badly mutilated bodies…
The shattered fragments floated out from deep within in a cloud of dust.
Ye Xiao’s party of one hundred people moved in unison, dragons lining up and tigers marching, looking very ferocious.
The sound of the wind screamed through the air.
Opposite, a number of Daoists’ shadows appeared as fast as lightning with an urgent momentum of hate.
Before they had even finished arriving, Ye Xiao waved his hand, and the extra 99 people behind him shouted in unison and welcomed them. In the air, thunder and lightning were instantly accompanying each other as the uproar randomly shook the ground.
The Hall of Returning Nature’s side had seven or eight Undead Stage experts come out. They were swarmed and surrounded by these 99 people, attacked from all sides, and they seemed to collapse like they were melons being chopped or vegetables being sliced. They weren’t able to display any of their deep cultivation level, and instead just went straight to the underworld. Walking in so carelessly, they were really just confused ghosts after all!
Apart from the calamity they were already facing in their own backyards and even more because people of their rank had been besieged, not only were they completely unable to use their hands, but they were even encircled by people who were higher in strength than them! This world was just too crazy. It was always heard spoken of the amateurs surrounding the experts, using the many to encircle the few and pull out a victory. What kind of time was this where Undead Stage high level cultivators were encircled and beaten up with this kind of method? This really isn’t suitable for us! In this thoughtless world, just go ahead and get it over with!
Those 99 people surrounded and attacked from both sides. Their battle formation both came and went smoothly, yet in moments left in a burst of violent wind that seemed to sweep towards the top of the mountain above.
Along the side of the road, regardless of whether it was a person or a thing, everything changed into a fine powder, without anything left.
Ye Xiao stepped on the ruins as he walked forth, bringing Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing along with him. He slowly walked towards the top, one pace one step, moving calmly just like he was arriving at a friend’s home. However, along the sides of the road were completely filled with and reeking of blood.
As the Hall of Returning Nature’s chief helm location, the number of people staying there naturally wasn’t very small. At the very least, there were at least 10,000 people staying there or more, and yet as Ye Xiao’s group of three journeyed together up the mountain, they actually never saw even one living person.
The reason was obvious. Apart from bringing Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing, the two women, he had also brought the Brotherhood’s nine big shots and the thirty highest ranking experts of the original Brotherhood, as well as sixty people in Meng Youjiang and his hall’s subordinates.
Counting the two women out of the calculations, including Ye Xiao they had exactly 100 people. However, the weakest cultivation level among them was already Undead Stage first level!
In other words, this time, the battle formation targeting the Hall of Returning Nature precisely had a standard configuration of Undead Stage experts. On top of that, they had Ye Xiao and Mo Feiyun, those two super experts approaching the absolute summit, to oversee them. This kind of power, this kind of battle formation… Meeting with the current Hall of Returning Nature was like the pressure of a mountain on an egg!
Don’t even mention Ye Xiao, but the rest of them were very serious about their strategy of deployment. This time was for the subordinates to take revenge and wipe out the grudge, a pleased debt of gratitude coupled with the duty to avenge. This was Jianghu justice, and they wanted to attack the enemy as quickly as possible to settle the opponent. If the opposite side has ten thousand people come, we hundred people will take action, and if they have one person come, then we hundred people will still take action!
This open, fearless, shameless approach used the basic tactics of the weak using many to cheat the few. Meng Wuzhen was intensely proud of his famous Undead Stage military power, but these earthen chickens and ceramic dogs collapsed at the first blow, instantly walking together to the underworld.
On top of that, a sharp and enthusiastic hiss sounded through the air, going back and forth, the sound of the impact especially intense.
It was obvious that the other side had more experts appear and launch their fire together to stake it all.
But, Ye Xiao, bringing along the two women, still walked ahead at his not urgent yet not slow pace to ascend the mountain. Only their appearances changed. The closer they got to the top, the more they appeared cold and indifferent.
The mountain summit had a huge boom of colliding qi energy arrive at it, and the noises of battle grew stronger. The closer they got, the more intense it got. Apparently there were thousands of people operating together to take action, with a vast influence.
Merely, this kind of sound fluctuations got fewer and fewer as they got further along, the activity getting smaller and smaller.
By the time that Ye Xiao had arrived halfway up the mountain, it might as well have disappeared, and you couldn’t hear it arrive at all.
Above finally inclined towards a sheet of quiet.
Ye Xiao continued to climb the mountain.
Mt. Tong’s summit.
Ye Xiao stepped onto the mountain top’s white jade steps. Conspicuous and eye catching was precisely the mountain’s main hall.
En, it would be more accurate to say, out of the hundreds of grand buildings on the mountain top, at this moment there was only this one building. 80 or 90% of the buildings had already changed into ruins, leaving behind only that big grand main hall. Although it was just unfinished wood and tottering on the verge of collapse, it was still whole and complete.
As far as the eye can see, in the middle of the ruins, were countless indistinct corpses. Like a stream, the blood flowed down the white jade steps. The flood snaked along, the watery blood drip drip dripping, and distributed a rich scent of blood that reeked throughout the mountaintop.
The Monarch’s Hall’s eighty or ninety people were gathered orderly in front of the white jade steps. When they saw that Ye Xiao had arrived, they automatically divided into two groups, one to each side. With respectful countenances, they bowed and saluted.
“Respectfully welcoming the arrival of the Monarch!”
This was headed by two people, precisely Mo Feiyun and Meng Youjiang.
These two people’s faces were like gold paper, their complexions pale, and they were bleeding from the corner of the mouth. It was clear that these were not insignificant injuries. Although this battle was an overwhelming victory, it was clearly not completely without a price. And yet, their spirits were nevertheless exceptionally inspired as they gazed towards Ye Xiao, expressions full of a reverent and respectful flavor.
And directly in front of them, there were still three people.
One man, two women.
The man’s “dyed black” white clothing cut a sorry figure, and appeared to be fighting hard, wanting to straighten up his body. However, his whole body was trembling, and his expression was overflowing with an extremely bitter resentment, tenaciously staring straight at Ye Xiao who was walking up step by step.
The two women were also exhausted, their hairpins horizontal as their hair was in complete disorder. They weakly each lent an arm to each other as support, and they had that same tenacious stare looking towards the approaching Ye Xiao, their gazes full of grief, indignation, and bitter resentment.
Meng Wuzhen, Red Phoenix, Jade Phoenix.
The whole Hall of Returning Nature’s assembled help, from top to bottom counting ten thousand people, now only had three remaining living people.
“Ye Xiao!” Meng Wuzhen’s hair shook, his mouth unceasingly spraying out blood. In a stern voice, he shouted and asked, “You dare kill me?!”
Abruptly hearing these four words, Ye Xiao suddenly and unexpectedly lost interest.
Before arriving before Meng Wuzhen, Ye Xiao had previously thought that he should say something.
In any event, Meng Wuzhen was also previously the leader of the number one faction in the Limitless Ocean!
Even if he was possibly the victorious power, and was currently winning, even though both sides had a bloody ocean’s worth of enmity, at the very least, he probably deserved some small bit of respect.
Yet now that both sides had met face to face, he had stared Meng Wuzhen right in the face and come up short. This caused Ye Xiao to have a sudden realization.
“This simply is someone not knowing the immensity of Heaven and Earth! This spoiled Western Sky Crown Prince is someone who is fundamentally unworthy of respect!”
Maybe, he also had a subtle and sophisticated side. Perhaps he still had capabilities, or maybe had inside information.
But, none of that was important anymore.
This sort of person, in times of favorable circumstances, was precisely a heavenly genius, but as soon as he found himself surrounded by adversity, this approach failed and wiped out. This was also perhaps the typical final remarks of such a case!
