Realms In The Firmament

Bu Xiangfeng surely was a powerful cultivator. He was one of the most important roles in the Monarch’s Hall, but for Ye Yunduan, he wasn’t that important. After all, there were so many powerful men in the seven clans. Bu Xiangfeng was good at killing, but he was not invincible. Bu Xiangfeng was important to the Monarch’s Hall. If he left the Monarch’s Hall, the Monarch’s Hall was going to collapse!

Ye Yunduan thought that things were changing, so he stopped and waited.

Bu Xiangfeng loudly said, “Monarch Ye, I have been traveling the martial world for hundreds of years. I have seen many honorable men and great heroes. However, nobody has ever convinced me.

“Nobody could actually take over all the responsibility and troubles on me.

“Today, it is different! I finally met somebody who is willing to support me with full power. Finally, I see a man who would love to do anything for his people!

“I am convinced!

“I am here, begging you, Lord of the Monarch’s Hall, to accept me as a member of the Monarch’s Hall! From now on, I will be a member of the Monarch’s Hall! I have been stubborn and unruly in the past, but please forgive me, because I will change! Please… I need your approval!”

Ye Yunduan heard the speech. Bu Xiangfeng was staying unbelievably low to beg for a position in the Monarch’s Hall. That provoked Ye Yunduan, whose face turned white because of anger.

‘Really? Do you have to? Why? You talked like you needed to beg him! What are you thinking? This is too much!’

‘What the hell are you talking about? Are you begging for adoption or anything?’

He didn’t know the connection between Ye Xiao and Bu Xiangfeng. They had a deal. If Bu Xiangfeng wanted to join Ye Xiao, he had to beg for it!

In fact, Bu Xiangfeng would rather die than beg to somebody else like that. That was why he hadn’t asked to join the Monarch’s Hall during those days. What happened had given him a chance to pledge his loyalty, and now it seemed so right to do this for Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao stared at Bu Xiangfeng and said, “Old Bu, are you sure?”

“I am!”

“Excellent!”

Ye Xiao said, “I announce… that you are the Great Executor of the Monarch’s Hall! You inspect everybody in the Monarch’s Hall. Whoever violates our rules will be in your hands! You can do whatever you want to punish them!”

That meant Bu Xiangfeng had the power over most issues. Master Guan used to hold a concurrent post of it in the Monarch’s Hall but didn’t mean much to him, because all those men under his inspection were people of his own clan. They followed him no matter if he was or not the Great Executor. Bu Xiangfeng took over the position now, and things were totally different.

“Oh, my heavens… Dear Lord Great Executor…” Meng Youjiang walked over and said, “You know… Hah hah hah… We are brothers… We got each other’s back…”

“Lord Great Executor…” Lei Dongtian, Du Qingkuang, and the Old Worm all gathered over to congratulate him. That was obviously kissing ass…

“Humph…” Bu Xiangfeng raised his head and put both hands behind his back. “Listen up, you all. I don’t need sucking up. I didn’t care when you did, because I was not the Great Executor. Now that I am, you must behave yourselves. I have no mercy for those who break the rules!”

“Yes… Yes…” People bowed to him.

“Now, I will kill those who betray the Monarch’s Hall! Do you understand?” Bu Xiangfeng spoke loudly.

“Yes… Yes…”

People bowed and answered. They glanced at those who had joined the enemy. That was obvious.

“I heard some dicksh*t saying that the Monarch’s Hall was collapsing!” Bu Xiangfeng said, “Let me ask you. Do you think so?”

“Bullsh*t!” Du Qingkuang shouted and said, “The Monarch’s Hall is rising!”

“That’s right! They are bullsh*tting… We are shining!”

“Hahahaha…”

They all started to laugh. The grudge and anger were all gone.

“Humph!” Ye Yunduan humphed and stayed silent. After that, he turned around and left.

Master Ju, Master Song, and Master Yun were the last to turn around. Before they left, they looked at Ye Xiao and made a long sigh.

…

The Monarch’s Hall had lost most men and a big cut of the territory.

Those who decided to stay were the cultivators Ye Xiao had saved in the Hall of Life and Death.

“Meng Youjiang, I need the number of people in the twelve units. I need information about everybody,” Ye Xiao said.

“Yes!” Meng Youjiang answered.

After a while, he got the information and reported to Ye Xiao. The Monarch’s Hall had one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight men left.

Ye Xiao looked at these men and casually said, “I am telling you one thing, brothers. The Monarch’s Hall is now the real Monarch’s Hall!”

People looked at Ye Xiao, trying to figure out what he meant, but they weren’t sure.

“The reason was simple. I said it before. We are all brothers in the Monarch’s Hall, and we are all monarchs in the world. I am not the only monarch in the Monarch’s Hall. You can all become monarchs. We make our own decisions, and we have no regret, that is the first step to the seat of a monarch!

“We won’t fear for the sky, and we don’t fail the earth. We are monarchs, and we have honor!”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “Brothers, I announced that from now on, you are my own team. If we fail, it won’t matter. If we succeed someday, you will be the men with glory!”

“We are brothers now. We will be brothers forever. We die together! The Monarch’s Hall die together!”
