The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1817: Escape a Disaster

Escape a Disaster . . .

Although Cha-Eun Xiao had shown his determination, the seven old men couldn't just turn away. They assumed Cha-Eun Xiao had already reached the Undead Stage, but it was not enough to win the war on his own. They decided to follow Cha-Eun Xiao secretly. If the Monarch's Hall was going to fail, they would have to save Cha-Eun Xiao's life.

When they got near to the battlefield, they saw the great army of beasts running toward the men of the Hall of Returning Nature. Within a short time, the Hall of Returning Nature was defeated.

That was only about an hour. Over a hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning Nature died.

The seven old masters were shocked. They were shaking in astonishment.

'Is this… Is this the real power of the Lord Monarch?'

When the Tiger in the Dream killed himself, Master Guan closed his eyes and kept his head low.

He wept.

…

In fact, the seven old masters were alone. Cha Yunduan had led some men to wait near the battlefield, so they could save Cha-Eun Xiao when he was in danger. These men saw the result of the war too.

Cha Yunduan had a complicated feeling when he saw how Cha-Eun Xiao easily won the war.

He realized that the Monarch's Hall had officially joined the competition in the martial world.

However, as the true descendant of the Heaven's Leaf, he was restrained in the City of Chaos.

Cha-Eun Xiao was like a dragon rising up to the world while Cha Yunduan was just a worm in the city!

Everybody knew it. Everybody saw it!

After a while, Cha Yunduan breathed a long sigh. He said, "Cha-Eun Xiao is truly a dragon! He has been hiding, staying low… Now it is his time to rise, to fly to the top of the world…"

He sounded jealous, but he tried to stay calm and steady.

The old masters looked at each other. They nodded and sighed.

He must have tried very hard to calm down. He had already done a great job to calm down so quickly.

'We don't mind if you are weak, not strong… We want you to be honest.'

'We can see your real feelings. You were shocked, and you still are.'

'It isn't bad, but it isn't good either!'

'It is reasonable that you are jealous of him. You don't need to hide it!'

'This man is better than Cha Changqing but still not good enough!'

…

"Master, Cha-Eun Xiao suddenly showed up and released the army of millions of beasts. The Hall of Returning Nature failed! Over a hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning Nature died!"

Master Bai was drinking tea. As he heard the message, he coughed. "Cough, cough… Cough, cough, cough…"

Master Bai was always calm and steady. Even if a mountain collapsed in front of him, he wouldn't even blink. As he heard the report, he actually acted awkwardly!

The question was… About four hours earlier, it was said that the Monarch's Hall was going to die in the war.

Unless the Monarch's Hall had many Undead Stage cultivators to help them, they wouldn't be able to win the battle.

Master Bai knew that Cha-Eun Xiao wouldn't ask for the help of the great ancestors of the Seven Lotus Clans!

Master Bai had been wondering where Cha-Eun Xiao had gone and what had happened to him. Suddenly, the Monarch's Hall won!

Master Bai wasn't expecting such a message. He thought of many other possibilities, but this was not one of them!

The army of the beasts showed up and defeated the Hall of Returning Nature!

The Monarch's Hall was pushed to the end. It was going to lose the war. Suddenly, a great army of millions of beasts showed up to win the war!

How was that possible?

It was unbelievable!

Master Bai turned around and looked at Xiu'er. He was waiting for her to confirm it.

Xiu'er bitterly smiled and nodded. It was real. The Monarch's Hall won.

Master Bai turned over his head. He was in shock. He looked at the tea that he spat out and then laughed. He said, "Ah, it cost me a cup of fine tea."

He grabbed the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea. He took a sip of it and got lost in his thoughts.

"Spiritual beasts?" Master Bai finished his tea and said two words.

He then slightly shook his head. He was confused.

It was rare that Master Bai felt confused. In his life, whenever he was confused, it must be something about Cha-Eun Xiao.

The last time he was confused, it was about Cha-Eun Xiao and his supreme dan beads.

"How does he get those spiritual beasts?" Master Bai frowned.

"Cha-Eun Xiao has no connection to the Monster Clan. I can assure you that.

"But… That was an army of millions of spiritual beasts… It crushed over one hundred thousand men of the Hall of Returning Nature…

"If he truly controls millions of spiritual beasts, he should have ruled the Limitless Ocean for a long time. He could even become the seventh most powerful force in the world other than the five Sky Kings and the Heaven's Leaf…

"Why didn't he use it before? Why?"

Master Bai was asking himself.

"Master, the Golden Phoenix King, and the Purple Dragon King met him before… Could it be…" Xiu'er said.

"No. Definitely not!" Master Bai said, "They went to the Monarch's Hall because of Chihuo. They stayed for only a few days, and Chihuo stayed in the Monarch's Hall!

"The Golden Phoenix King and the Purple Dragon King said the Red Fire Lord was gone. However, it was not true.

"Well, the Red Fire Lord was gone. That could be right. However, Chihuo was still there as a member of the Monarch's Hall."

Xiu'er was enlightened. "That's a lie, but… The two kings were so angry when they got to him. They even asked the seven great ancestors for help. It must be something important. Why would they spare the old man?"

"That's easy. Cha-Eun Xiao must have given them something. That is also why Chihuo would agree to join the Monarch's Hall."

Master Bai blandly said, "What does Cha-Eun Xiao have? At least, he has Supreme Dan. We used to promise him many things for his Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads!

"Think about Chihuo's martial art. Think about how the two kings hated Chihuo. Chihuo must have reached his hand to the children of the phoenix and the dragon because of his special martial art. The two kings hunted him down, and they happened to meet in the Monarch's Hall, which gave Cha-Eun Xiao a reason to get involved. Cha-Eun Xiao must have saved the kids, so the problem was solved. The two kings spared Chihuo, and Chihuo joined the Monarch's Hall to return the favor.

"Isn't it too easy?" Master Bai blandly smiled.

Xiu'er admired the man.

If Cha-Eun Xiao was here, he would admire Master Bai as well. He actually made a good guess. With a little information, he saw the truth! How impressive!

Cha-Eun Xiao and Chihuo almost deceived the entire world, but for Master Bai, it was so easy to see through it!

"When the two kings left the Limitless Ocean, it was over." Master Bai blandly said, "The two kings would never give Cha-Eun Xiao an army of millions of beasts after that. In fact, even if the two kings wanted to, they couldn't…"

Master Bai paused and then continued, "What beasts were in the army? Do you know them?"

Xiu'er poured energy into a purple jade and looked into it. She said, "There are many of them. Most of them should be extinct in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for quite a long time. There was the Silver Wolf, the Black Golden Tiger, the Purple Golden Leopard, the Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snake…"

Master Bai bitterly smiled and said, "Well, Meng Wuzhen must have taken it for me this time!"

Xiu'er was shocked. "Master, do you mean those beasts should be used on you? Is Cha-Eun Xiao really that smart?"

Master Bai shook his head and said, "Not just that. He is my only opponent in my life. He must be seeing me as his worst enemy as well. It makes sense that he would prepare some powerful moves just for me. If the Monarch's Hall didn't fall into this disaster and Cha-Eun Xiao didn't have other methods to save his men, he wouldn't use the army of beasts so soon! Nobody could resist that powerful army!

"He has never shown the power of the beast. What was he planning? I don't see any others he would plan on. He got it for me. Meng Wuzhen is powerful but only because he is the crown prince of the West Sky."

It was difficult to understand, but the two ladies understood.

"Meng Wuzhen was not in Cha-Eun Xiao's eyes.

"Cha-Eun Xiao prepared these beasts to fight me! However, Meng Wuzhen was stupid. He pushed the Monarch's Hall to a dead end. Cha-Eun Xiao had no choice but to use it sooner than he expected.

"Meng Wuzhen is not a great person. In fact, if I have to face such an army of beasts all of a sudden, I will lose no less than Meng Wuzhen did."

Master Bai frowned and said, "Check it. After the fight, how many beasts died? Did Cha-Eun Xiao have them back? If Cha-Eun Xiao could use them freely, that would be horrible!"

Xiu'er frowned and said, "No, he couldn't. I don't know how many beasts exactly died, but I do know that most of the beasts left Cha-Eun Xiao. Master, you are overestimating Cha-Eun Xiao. He can't use the beasts! He is not a god, is he?"

Master Bai felt relieved. He said, "Well, that is much better… I see."

He said, "Xiu'er, you shouldn't underestimate Cha-Eun Xiao. We fought him before. Think about what he did before. Wasn't it god's work? I think he should be able to control those beasts… Well, it truly is difficult to gather up millions of beasts… How is he going to gather up so many beasts in the Limitless Ocean?"

He was thinking. Xiu'er said, "Master, you are right… He did it once, and it was enough to shake the world. I think he only needs a little more time, and he won't need the support of the beasts anymore…"

Master Bai said, "That's true! It is something we won't be able to get an answer to. I think those beasts will return to him someday. When we face Cha-Eun Xiao in the future, we must be careful."

"Yes, master."

"How many of his men died?" Master Bai asked.

"His men, do you mean the Five Kings, One Saber, Two Warriors, Seven Stars, and leaders of the Twelve Units?" Xiu'er hesitated.

"That's right." Master Bai blandly nodded.

"Well…" Xiu'er said, "He has lost quite a lot of people this time, but… These important men were severely injured, but not dead… None of them died…"

Master Bai turned over and looked at her. "What?"
