Chapter 1565: Comparison Kills

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What?” Ye Xiao looked at Meng Youjiang.

Meng Youjiang looked pretty weird. “My weapon... is... my saber... You know...” He was obviously hesitant.

The Jugulate Saber was a divine weapon Meng Youjiang found on the journey of an adventure. The saber was sharp, and it could cut steel as if it was mud. It broke almost everything, including people’s spiritual energy shield. On the Limitless Ocean Weapon List, the Jugulate Saber was one of the top-ranked weapons.

Ye Xiao wanted Meng Youjiang to test the Jugulate Saber. Meng Youjiang didn’t worry about his own weapon, but he thought it would be embarrassing to cut Qiu Luo’s Blade of Protection in half. The Jugulate Saber looked normal but was powerful inside, while the Blade of Protection was uselessly flashy.

What if his Jugulate Saber broke that Blade of Protection? It would embarrass Ye Xiao!

Besides, it would cause a setback on the spirit and pride of the Monarch’s Hall!

“I know. The Jugulate Saber is your treasure; your second wife. I will reforge a new one for you if it broke. What do you say?” Ye Xiao was disdainful. “Come on. Look at that piece of dumb metal... It doesn’t look like a good weapon at all... Why do you cherish it that much...”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Bu Xiangfeng tried to prod Meng Youjiang. “Old Meng doesn’t dare to do it. I thought he was only a coward when he must face his wife. Well, he doesn’t even dare to show us his second wife...”

Meng Youjiang was angry. “Shut the f*ck up! I am going to kill you! You have two wives! I don’t have two wives! You are a coward! I am not a coward!”

“Listen, hey. Listen to him. He talks like a man! What a surprise. If you are not a coward, why don’t you show us your second wife?”

The others urged him as well.

Meng Youjiang was provoked. He abruptly drew out the Jugulate Saber and said, “Fine! Let’s try! Let me show you how incredible my second wife is!”

“Holy hell! He truly treats that weapon as his second wife! Oh, heavens... How are you going to explain that to your wife?” People teased him.

It all happened so fast. Qiu Luo saw Meng Youjiang draw out the saber, so he showed the Blade of Protection without hesitation. The Blade of Protection had become a glaring light of coldness. Meng Youjiang’s Jugulate Saber started to shine with white light. The two blades clashed.

– Bang! –

Meng Youjiang made a loud shout. He couldn’t believe what just happened. After a few seconds, he became frustrated and lost.

The great weapon, his beloved Jugulate Saber was cut into halves easily. It happened so fast.

“How is this possible!? My Jugulate Saber! My Jugulate Saber!” Meng Youjiang moaned about it.

Meng Youjiang didn’t believe it, and the others couldn’t believe it, either. The crowd turned silent all of a sudden. Nobody laughed anymore.

The Jugulate Saber was a famous weapon that was known as the special weapon of Meng Youjiang. It was one of the best divine weapons in the Limitless Ocean. Nobody truly expected that the Blade of Protection could actually cut the Jugulate Saber into two pieces so easily!

It was broken with a clear sound.

“Does anybody still doubt my words? I am telling you. The Blade of Protection is at least the third most powerful weapon in the Limitless Ocean!” Ye Xiao blandly said. He took over the handle of the Jugulate Saber from Meng Youjiang’s and picked up the other half of it.

“This saber is fine, too. It didn’t become ashes after clashing with the Blade of Protection. The steel is still fine. It won’t be difficult to reforge it. I will give you a new Jugulate Saber tomorrow morning. You won’t be alone for too long!”

Everybody just saw what happened. They couldn’t deny the truth. What Ye Xiao said was arrogant and hard to believe, but everybody saw how the Jugulate Saber got broken. No matter what, they had to admit that Ye Xiao was right!

Ye Xiao stopped and said, “Old Bu, give me your Farewell Sword now. I will finish both tonight... Oh, right. Whoever doesn’t feel satisfied with your own weapon, come and find me. I can always enhance it. It is very important to have a proper weapon, and it is much better to have a stronger one... Wait... What? Wait! What are you doing?”

Before he finished talking, people already crowded over him. Lei Dongtian and the others did not want to wait anymore.

“What are you doing? Am I a silly boy to you? Do you want me to die working on your weapons? Come on... I can finish no more than ten weapons a day. Listen... What about this? I will work for the Two Warriors and the Seven Stars, also Meng Youjiang and Bu Xiangfeng today. Tomorrow, I will do it for the Twelve Divine Stands. Let’s make a row... You should take turns... you know. You will all get your chance, anyway.”

The crowd was cheering up. People were excited by the surprise!

They all saw how powerful the Blade of Protection was. Their weapons might not be as good as the Blade of Protection, but at least it would be at the same level. With a divine weapon like that, anybody could be a lot more powerful!

Ye Xiao was not calm anymore. He smiled and said, “People of the Monarch’s Hall must become monarchs in the world. Our weapons must be at the same level as us.”

“Now, all of you. Keep cultivating. Work hard. Improve yourself. Seize the days while we don’t need to fight the outside world yet. Everybody will get rewards according to your jobs at the moment. Once we start fighting battles, we get rewards according to the credits on the battlefield! Am I clear?”

Everybody shouted to answer Ye Xiao. They were so excited.

The next morning, Ye Xiao gave Meng Youjiang the new Jugulate Saber and Bu Xiangfeng the new Farewell Sword. The other nine people got their weapons back, too! When they held their new weapons in hand, they were shocked and thrilled!

These eleven men were capable ones. They were elites among all the itinerant cultivators. However, when they held the new weapons, they were blank. They were shocked, standing there like a bunch of fools. They were just too astonished.

Bu Xiangfeng always wanted to fix his sword but only to use some special metal and repair the sword. That was all he wanted. Ye Xiao had promised him the metals, so he got the materials, but he still needed to find somebody to fix the sword for it. In his opinion, it should take him no less than ten days to finish this job.

However, within one night, Ye Xiao had fixed the sword for him.

It was not just repairing it because it was enhanced.

When Bu Xiangfeng reached the Saint Origin Stage, the Farewell Sword was already too weak for him. Bu Xiangfeng kept it with him and nourished it with his spiritual power, so he could more or less made use of the sword. After he reached the Saint Origin Stage, he had a big fight, in which the Farewell Sword finally broke. Bu Xiangfeng traveled around the world to find the right material to fix it. What he wanted was just to fix the sword so that he could use it again. He didn’t ask for much. To enhance the sword was something far beyond his capability. He would reach an even higher level, and the sword surely wouldn’t suit him anymore, but he didn’t have time to think about that.

Now, as he grabbed the new Farewell Sword in his hands, he was shocked.

The new Farewell Sword was much better than he expected! It was sharp but gave him a soft touch. The sword was echoing along with his breath as if it was a part of his life... The sword was hundreds even thousands of times better than before!

The new Farewell Sword was something from a tale. Bu Xiangfeng was like dreaming. He was at level three of the Saint Origin Stage at the moment. Even after he improved to the next stage, the sword was still perfect for him.

If he could use the new Farewell Sword like they were a whole, it would become a spiritual weapon as the story said. The Farewell Sword would grow with him!

Bu Xiangfeng was excited and overjoyed.

Meng Youjiang was going through the same pleasure.

The Jugulate Saber was a famous weapon, which was already a divine weapon. It had belonged to somebody else, and Meng Youjiang got it by luck. It wasn’t made for him, so no matter how much he worked on the saber, it wouldn’t be perfect for him.

That was why the Blade of Protection could easily surpass the Jugulate Saber. Qiu Luo and the Blade of Protection had become one. If the Jugulate Saber was Meng Youjiang’s spiritual weapon, no matter how sharp the Blade of Protection was, the Jugulate Saber would have won the test. However, the Jugulate Saber lost it.

The new Jugulate Saber was enhanced and reforged. When Meng Youjiang took it in his hand, he could feel that it was completely different. It had become something that completely belonged to him! It became a part of him!

He could feel the saber echoing with his soul... It was perfect!

The others all had their own weapons, and they were all surprised and excited!

Weapons like these were only heard from a tale and the ancient stories. One or two might be in some of the most powerful cultivators’ hands. After only one night, these people all got themselves their own spiritual weapons! They wondered if it was a dream!

‘Please... If this is a dream, don’t wake me up... Let me enjoy more of this!’

‘It isn’t a dream... Well, this is so like a dream!’

The entire Monarch’s Hall was spirited. Everybody was excited and thrilled. After one night, they were firmly united.

They all realized one thing. Following Xiao Monarch would lead them to a bright future!

That was right. Ye Xiao wanted them to think so.

Meng Youjiang and some people felt that Ye Xiao was more like the descendant of the Great Ye Clan than Ye Yunduan...

‘Is Ye Yunduan really the descendant of the Great Ye Clan? Is it possible that he is a fake?’

‘His vibe... His act... His personality... His face... He is just so much weaker than our Monarch!’

‘Comparison truly kills!’

...

On the other side, Ye Yunduan went to bed after giving the order to Fang San.

He believed Fang San was powerful enough to wipe out the entire Monarch’s Hall, so he didn’t worry at all.

It was impossible to go wrong!

Fang San had knocked down the most powerful man of the Monarch’s Hall, Meng Youjiang, with just a casual wave of a hand. Fang San was incredibly stronger than any of the men in the Monarch’s Hall. Bu Xiangfeng might have the power to fight Fang San for a while, but he wouldn’t last...

Ye Yunduan decided to wait for the good news or to see the head of Ye Xiao.

He must sleep well because he was going to have another meeting the next morning. There were a lot of meetings.

The true leaders of the seven clans would participate at the meeting the next day, so he must do his best to convince them all!

He must sleep well!

The next morning.

Ye Yunduan had risen but didn’t see Ye Xiao’s head from Fang San. In fact, he couldn’t find Fang San or even hear anything from Fang San. He didn’t pay much attention to it, though. The four clans of the Seven Golden Lotuses used to stay with Ye Xiao for some time. If Ye Yunduan asked to destroy the Monarch’s Hall, maybe the four clans wouldn’t agree. Therefore, he figured it was a good choice to let Fang San hide after killing Ye Xiao.

“Master, the seven masters have arrived at the front hall.”

Ye Yunduan was glad to hear that.

The Great Ye Clan was still influential as it used to be.

The seven clans were still loyal to the Great Ye Clan. Although some of them were angry about what he had done, they eventually came when he asked them to.

‘Well, you guys are followers of my clan. It won’t change, not even after a hundred thousand years.’

‘I am the chosen one. A wild dog can never pretend to be a lion!’

Ye Yunduan put on his clothes and walked out the door.

...

“The Great Ye Clan has left for one hundred thousand years. Today, we are back to the martial world as we promised. The world will embrace the storms again. We are going to build a great future in the world. The City of Chaos is just a start. What I want is to conquer the Limitless Ocean.” Ye Yunduan strongly said, which made him look like a successful man. “The ten most powerful forces in the Limitless Ocean are in the City of Chaos. We can defeat them one by one in the city. After that, we will become the most powerful force that rules the Limitless Ocean soon.

“The ten forces are right there in the city, but they don’t know we are coming yet. If we gather up and make a surprise strike, we can destroy whatever stands in our way. The City of Chaos will be the starting line, and we will run to the Limitless Ocean and take the entire Limitless Ocean under our control.”

Ye Yunduan complacently described the great picture of his success.

It seemed to be quite a great plan, though. It was perfect and practical. The Seven Golden Lotuses and the Great Ye Clan were powerful enough to defeat all those forces in the City of Chaos. The guardians of the City of Chaos had always been the seven clans. They had protected the city secretly for so many years. The ten most powerful forces in the city hadn’t noticed the arrival of the Great Ye Clan yet. If the Great Ye Army made a surprise attack, they probably wouldn’t have time to prepare and fight back.

However, even though Ye Yunduan was so confident, the seven clans objected to it together.
