“Who told you to do this?” The old masters got the message from the front line one hour after the fight started. They came as fast as they could, but it was already too late.
The war was unavoidable now. The old men couldn’t stop anything!
Both sides had gone mad in killings.
Dead bodies were everywhere, and blood stained everything. It wouldn’t stop until one side was wiped out. As time passed, the Great Ye Army seemed to be in a worse and worse situation!
Master Guan’s eyes turned red and he grabbed Ye Yunduan on the collar, shouting at him, “Who told you to do this? Even if you want to do this, can’t you at least make a plan? Why? Do you even know what you are doing? Why did you kill all those low-level cultivators like this? What is this going to bring you anyway?”
Ye Yunduan looked pretty scared, and he said, “I... I thought...”
“What do you think?” Master Guan shouted and said, “Do you know what they are shouting? Do you know they have brothers in the world? Do you know what is the morality of the martial world? Do you know what brotherhood means? Say it! Do you?”
Master Guan held his own chest and started to cough heavily.
After a while, he sighed and said, “This is over. It’s all done...”
“Tell them to stop now!” Master Qin shouted angrily.
Ye Yunduan was shaking, and he hurriedly gave the order.
“Stop! Retreat!”
The seven old masters got down to the battlefield in person with the high-level cultivators of the seven clans to stop the killing.
The massacre was finally stopped.
The City of Chaos was full of blood. The smell of the blood stayed in the city for a long time.
On the ground, there were dead bodies everywhere.
Cultivators usually had more blood than ordinary men. Most of the men who died in the fight were low-level cultivators. Over fifty thousand men died. The blood of them stained everything!
It was such an image of hell in front of them. The seven old men were shocked. They did whatever they could to stop the fight, and they only had time to glance at the dead men. What they saw was horrible enough to shake them up.
‘What... What did I just see?’
While blood stained the entire area, the main flag of the Brotherhood Alliance was still standing up high in the wind.
People were still guarding the flat, staring at their enemies.
The seven clans strongly stopped the fight, and nobody talked or moved anymore now.
After a while.
Zhu Zhe, the leader of the City of Chaos subbranch of the Brotherhood Alliance, walked down from the highest point of the battlefield. He looked sullen, walking slowly toward the blood on the ground!
“Master Zhu.” Master Qin walked over to talk to him.
“Go away.” Zhu Zhe shouted with an expressionless face.
Zhu Zhe was the leader of the members in the City of Chaos, but he was not a powerful cultivator. The City of Chaos was always a peaceful place, so the Brotherhood Alliance didn’t need a powerful cultivator to lead their subbranch in this city. All the leader needed to do was to keep good relationships with the other forces. In a place like this, it was not a good thing to have a powerful cultivator to be their leader. Zhu Zhe was only at level six of the Divinity Origin Stage.
Before this, when Zhu Zhe met Master Qin, he always smiled and stayed humble.
However, this smiling man had become cold and full of anger.
Master Qin understood, so he made a sigh and stepped away.
Zhu Zhe walked over the blood on the floor, and the blood actually stained his ankles.
His body started to shake.
He got down and took out a bronze basin from his ring. After which, he used a hand to movel the blood into the basin and fill it up.
He then raised the basin and started to walk back slowly.
None of the blood dripped off the basin.
The brothers of the Brotherhood Alliance all stepped aside to let him through.
He walked to the flag.
Suddenly, he jumped up and raised the basin, sprinkling the blood onto the flag.
‘We are brothers in the world.’
The flag was soaked, and it stopped flickering. Blood started to drip like tears.
The flag of the Brotherhood Alliance was stained with blood along with the tears of the brothers!
Zhu Zhe stood under the flag. The dripping blood was over his head, dropping on him and flowing down to his feet. He didn’t move.
The clouds were rolling far away in the sky.
A long rainbow appeared in the sky.
A man arrived, with clouds and a storm following him.
A tough man with a big beard showed up in the sky.
He wore cyan clothes, with a fierce face and big, round eyes. He was tall and looked menacing.
People all felt shocked when they saw this guy.
“It is him!”
“The youngest leader!”
“The youngest of the ten leaders!”
“The Wild Leopard, Peng Zhuiyun.”
Peng Zhuiyun saw the cruel scene on the ground, and he was shocked!
Apparently, he didn’t expect to see this at all. In fact, nobody had seen this coming!
The next moment, Peng Zhuiyun turned around in the air, looking at the flag of the Brotherhood Alliance, which was stained with blood. He stayed silent for a while, and then abruptly shouted and spoke sadly, “Who slaughtered my brothers?”
It was so loud that it shocked the sky like a thunderclap!
The blood on the floor splattered up.
It was like the dead men complaining about the massacre to their leader.
“Ah!”
Peng Zhuiyun shouted in the air. His voice pierced through the clouds and became thunders striking back.
After that, he directly rushed down like a bolt of lightning.
He landed under the flag of the Brotherhood Alliance.
“What is this? How did things end up so bad?” Peng Zhuiyun’s eyes looked crazy. He needed to do something to vent the anger.
“They did this. The enemies!” Zhu Zhe stared at the enemies. “We have been showing kindness to them. The Great Ye Clan people!”
“They are people of the Great Ye Clan!”
Peng Zhuiyun stood straight up, looking like a raging lion, staring at the Great Ye Army.
His eyes were fierce, and they were like two sharp swords.
“Why?”
His fierce eyes kept looking at Ye Yunduan. They were hundreds of feet away from each other, but Ye Yunduan still felt a stinging pain on the face when Peng Zhuiyun stared at him.
Peng Zhuiyun was actually that powerful!
Peng Zhuiyun looked at him for just a while, and then he looked at Master Qin, Master Yun, and the other old masters... In the end, he made a sad and angry laugh.
“Hah hah hah hah... Good! The Heaven’s Leaf and the Seven Golden Lotuses! Are these the famous Lotuses and the Leaf?”
He stamped on the floor fiercely and then became a stream of thundering light, rushing over to the enemies!
The clouds and wind followed him. As he moved fast, two giant winds appeared on both sides of his body. The wings were a thousand feet wide, shining golden lights!
The wings of thunder and wind!
Peng Zhuiyun actually made his unique move to start the fight!
The people of the seven clans all got ready to defend themselves.
Peng Zhuiyun was going to kill hundreds of men with that move.
“Brother!”
Somebody shouted in the sky.
Peng Zhuiyun had decided to fight with his life. As he rushed over, he didn’t think of going back at all. Nobody had the power to stop him at this point.
When the man in the sky shouted at him, it was not loud.
However, Peng Zhuiyun immediately stopped. He actually forced himself to stop.
He stopped right there between the two sides of the battle.
The next moment, a man appeared in the sky silently. The man was in cyan clothes, looking down at the blood on the floor, and he was sad and angry as well.
He slowly moved down and stayed beside Peng Zhuiyun.
When he got close to Peng Zhuiyun, the others all had a feeling. ‘It is impossible to separate these two men. It was impossible to kill one of them without killing the other!’
These two were like one!
“Brother!” Peng Zhuiyun turned around. He didn’t want to sound sad, but when he called the other man, his tears shed out. He started to cry.
“Over forty thousand men! Over forty thousand of our brothers!”
Peng Zhuiyun was in tears.
When he saw his brother, the third eldest leader, the Wild Leopard, who was always fierce and cruel, actually started to cry like a child.
“I know! I know everything!”
The man tapped Peng Zhuiyun on the shoulder and said, “Let me handle this. I am not going to let them go easily.”
“Okay.” Peng Zhuiyun sobbed and then stayed behind the man. He just let the older one take charge.
“It is the third leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, the wisest man in the Brotherhood Alliance. The Capable Hand, Shangguan Lingxiao. This is not going to end well today.”
Somebody said in a low voice in the crowd.
Everybody knew that the wisest man of the Brotherhood Alliance had come.
He could make a decision for the Brotherhood Alliance!
Shangguan Lingxiao was called the Capable Hand, the brain of the Brotherhood Alliance and one of the soul figures.
He was the one who built the entire manpower system of the Brotherhood Alliance. He knew everything about the organization. He could make decisions on all issues of the organization, including battles, management, finance, commanding, penalty, and reward...
He was famous as a wise man. He was among the wisest men in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
He actually showed up now for this battle. The Great Ye Army people, especially the men of the seven clans, were all shocked.
They couldn’t believe the brain of the Brotherhood Alliance, the Capable Hand, had come for this.
It was not going to end well!
“There are two leaders of the Brotherhood Alliance here. The Capable Hand, Shangguan Lingxiao, and the Wild Leopard, Peng Zhuiyun. That is powerful enough...”
On a tower far away, a man in white clothes casually sat on a chair. The chair was at the window, and this man was watching everything on the battlefield. He seemed to enjoy the show.
“Master, what do you think is going to happen?” Beside him, there was a middle-aged man who looked vile. He asked the man humbly.
“What’ going to happen? What can I say? There will be no fights anymore.” The man in white clothes humphed and said, “Shangguan Lingxiao has shown up. He won’t let the fight start again. This is the end. As the third leader of the Brotherhood Alliance, he is not simple.
“Do you really think the leaders of the Brotherhood Alliance did not know what is going on here? Why did they send the smartest guy to handle this? His appearance shows the attitude of the Brotherhood Alliance. They don’t want it to go any further. They want to stop it now.”
He paused and then continued, “I thought the Wild Leopard was going to stir up a more chaotic situation. I thought one of the two organizations would be destroyed and the other would be severely damaged. Well, now they got Shangguan, the clever bastard. This is it. There will be no more fights! However, it has been brutal enough. The Brotherhood Alliance may get to know the truth, but they are never going to get along with the Great Ye Army.”
After that, he casually stood up and said, “Let’s go. This is it. There is no need to stay any longer. Staying too long may lead to more unexpected results. Shangguan Lingxiao and the seven old foxes are cunning. They are all superior cultivators, too. They may figure out something wrong. That won’t be nice... Let’s just see how it goes next.”
Before he finished talking, he stood up and walked away without turning back.
One of the two men on his sides left with him, while the other stayed in the empty room.
Down on the battlefield.
Shangguan Lingxiao stood right there. His eyes glowed with sharp lights, but then he calmed down. He said, “Leaders of the seven clans and the Great Ye Army, do you want to come out and give me an explanation?”
Shangguan Lingxiao sounded peaceful, even indifferent.
However, the uprightness was obvious.
As he finished the question, he turned around.
He looked at the flag of the Brotherhood Alliance, which was stained with blood. His mouth was twisted.
In his eyes, there was only coldness.
