Master Guan felt like ten thousand alpacas howling across his head!
His eyes were wide open, and he said in a low voice, “If we… If we recruit them all… there will be over a hundred thousand men coming to us… It could be much more…”
Ye Xiao was indifferent, and he said, “A hundred thousand it is then. What is the problem? That is not so many, considering our great future.”
Ye Xiao meant it. He used to lead an army in the Land of Han-Yang after all. When he led an army to win the war in the Land of Han-Yang, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers following his command. That was why he wouldn’t think one hundred thousand men were too many. Besides, before he left the Qing-Yun Realm, he had led so many cultivators to the battle against the demons, which gave him the courage that ordinary people didn’t have.
Master Guan didn’t say a word.
‘I think even the Great Master Ye did not have the courage as this young man does.’
‘The Monarch’s Hall was established about half a month ago, and now you are telling me that you want one hundred thousand men to join you? There, one hundred thousand men were not cultivators, but management specialists. They were weak…’
‘One problem is that you don’t have enough room for all these people, and the second is that you may not have enough money to pay them…’
‘The most important thing is… Do you have enough cultivators?’
‘Do you want one hundred thousand men to serve and manage a team of only a few hundred cultivators?’
‘That is ridiculous…’
‘You can’t joke on that… It is not funny at all!’
“Master Guan, I know what you are worried about, but trust me, it is fine!” Ye Xiao waved his hand and said, “Let’s just get them on-board first. They are specialists, and we can’t let them go. If somebody else recruits them, it would be a great loss for us. It is like a mountain of treasures in front of us, yet the treasures keep going into others pockets…”
Master Guan was awkwardly wordless, and then he said, “Master, where do they live? We are talking about one hundred thousand men!”
‘In fact, I don’t think anybody else could recruit all those people at the same time…’
Ye Xiao casually pointed around and said, “Look at this. We have almost four hundred more here… Of course, we have enough room.”
After that, he made a sigh.
It sounded like a huge piece of land, but one hundred thousand people…
This place was not enough for so many people to live together.
Ye Xiao missed the days when he was fighting in the Land of Han-Yang and the days when he was fighting the demons in the Qing-Yun Realm. Back then, he never worried about the land. There was always an empty place when he needed some! Now he had to worry about it. How could he not? Of course, he had to!
“Master Guan, pick some guys that you need and team them up. Put the cultivators we have into different groups, and make sure everybody is in the best position for him.
“That aside, contact the old crew who worked in the government of the City of Chaos. If they agree to join us, they can come in several days. As long as they can pa.s.s our tests, they are in!”
Guan Tiemian nodded and said, “Not a problem. However, can you tell me how you like me to set up the departments? How many departments do you think we need?”
His eyes flickered. He looked at Ye Xiao and thought,
‘I wonder what you can come up with, young man.’
Ye Xiao frowned and then started a long speech about it. “First of all, we need the Department of Battle, and the job is to fight our enemies and broaden our territory.”
“Below the Department of Battle, there should be twelve units; the Dragon Unit, the Tiger Unit, the Snake Unit, the Ox Unit, the Horse Unit, the Goat Unit, the Rat Unit, the Rabbit Unit, the Monkey Unit, the Rooster Unit, and the Pig Unit.”
“The Unit of Twelve Zodiac Animals. The Department of Battle leads the twelve units. There should be a Head of Department in the Department of Battle, guardians of the Department, and…”
Master Guan was shocked.
‘What? One department and twelve units… Doesn’t it mean we need dozens of men to be the heads and guardians? How many people do you think we have?’
“There should be the Department of Penalty, the Department of Enforcement, the Department of Feats… and…”
“The most important one is the Head Department of the Monarch’s Hall, and we need guardians, guards, and…”
Ye Xiao kept talking for about eight minutes. He had told Master Guan every position in the Monarch’s Hall that he needed a man for.
He needed people for the finance, for fighting battles, for enforcement of rules, for punis.h.i.+ng people, for recording credits, for managing manpower…
There were dozens of departments he wanted for the Monarch’s Hall.
Master Guan didn’t feel right as he listened to him.
‘That is… That is not a sect!’
‘This is definitely not just a sect.’
‘What the young man wants… with all these departments, is a super powerful organization. In other words, he is going to build a kingdom!’
‘A kingdom!’
Master Guan was excited all of a sudden.
‘What does it mean?’
‘It means… It means the young master does not only want to be a leader of a sect in the marital world!’
‘Monarch’s Hall… He wants to be a monarch… That explains a lot.’
“We should have a slogan for the Monarch’s Hall…” Ye Xiao frowned and thought for a while. “Peerless in the Limitless Ocean; King in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!”
“What we want is that anyone of the Monarch’s Hall will be respected like a monarch in the world! We are like kings in the world!
“That is what the Monarch’s Hall is going to do!”
Ye Xiao decisively and blandly said, “If we are short of manpower, we recruit more. It takes time. I know. At least we should build the frame for the future first. We must build a strong foundation for the future because that is the most important thing for an organization.”
Guan Tiemian took a deep breath. His beard was waving and he said, “Yes, Master! I will get it done.”
At this moment, Guan Tiemian felt that the blood in his aged body started to boil. He felt a lot younger now.
He was full of power!
“Master, we do need more capable men… Our people are averagely weak…” Guan Tiemian said anxiously, “If we suddenly recruit so many people, other forces will notice us, and target us… We may be destroyed in one night. After all, what matters the most in the martial world is power…”
Guan Tiemian didn’t realize that when he talked again, he was already worrying for Ye Xiao, which meant he was sincerely on Ye Xiao’s side now. When he talked, he was like an official giving advice to his king.
Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and said, “There is nothing we can do about it. It is going to happen sooner or later. Things changed in the City of Chaos, so we have the opportunity to rise. The most influential forces in the City of Chaos had taken over their positions. It is impossible to recruit cultivators from other forces. We have to recruit as many people as we can for now…”
“From these people, we pick some capable ones and train them… We are going to build an iron army of our own!”
“Do you know why I only want these men to be over Divinity Origin Stage? I want these Divinity Origin Stage cultivators. Saint Origin Stage cultivators are too strong to control. They are so powerful that we may be restrained instead.”
“Bu Xiangfeng is an exception. Meng Youjiang and his Dark Wind Mountain are not normal either!”
“The only thing we can do is to keep it going like this and wait for another opportunity.”
“There will be a crisis… Dangers are around us in the martial world. Even the five sky kings have to face different kinds of dangers…”
“We have to face it.”
“If we have to face it, we should face it earlier. The earlier we get ourselves into the fights, the longer we can stay in the chaos. One can be destroyed by chaos, but also can rise in chaos!”
“Sometimes, the crisis comes with opportunity. The fights may put us into great danger, but the continual battles will train our men well. The more dangerous situation we can get through, the stronger we will become!”
Ye Xiao sighed and looked at Guan Tiemian. He said, “Master Guan, there will be a lot of difficulties on the path to greatness. There is no hero in a peaceful world. There is no glory outside the battle!”
Guan Tiemian was shocked, and then he nodded to agree.
He heard Ye Xiao.
What Ye Xiao said was realistic, but also crazy. However, Guan Tiemian must admit that when Ye Xiao said those words, he was more powerful than any other strong cultivators Guan Tiemian had ever met. His courage impressed and shocked Guan Tiemian.
Guan Tiemian knew that following such a leader, he would either become a great figure in the history of the world or get killed soon and become rotten bones.
However, he had no idea why, but he was full of energy and enthusiasm.
What Ye Xiao said kept resounding in his head, especially some words.
“From these people, we pick some capable ones and train them… We are going to build an iron army of our own!”
“An iron army of our own!”
It kept resounding loudly in Guan Tiemian’s heart.
“I will do it immediately!”
Guan Tiemian decisively said.
He was thinking,
‘Those old guys… It is time for them to come out and do something now. After all, we have such a strong leader now… If they don’t catch this opportunity, they won’t have it again for the rest of their lives. If they heard what I heard, they would make the same choice…’
‘An iron army of our own!’
‘To the top of the world!’
‘Peerless in the Limitless Ocean; King in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!’
‘The Great Master Ye used to reach a rather high position in the world, and that was when he found the ambition of reaching the top in his heart!’
‘This young man here, Master Ye, has already started to fight for the same ambition when everything is only started!’
‘He is the weakest, yet he has been aiming at the top!’
‘No ordinary men could have such strength and power!’
‘He is either overrating himself or born to be king!’
‘After spending some time to stay with him, he doesn’t seem to be as stupid as I thought!’
‘I can’t say he is born to be king, but time will bring truth to us!’
Master Guan left.
Ye Xiao looked at the old man’s back, seeing him off, and he sighed.
‘Guan Tiemian is a trustworthy man, who is capable as well, but with limited power… He is not strong enough, so he is not as healthy as the strong cultivators in his age…’
‘I must do something about it. I need him to work really hard for me, then I can’t let him die exhausted…’
After estimating the old man’s conditions with his eyes, Ye Xiao realized that it was difficult for the old man to keep working in such big pressure.
Therefore, Ye Xiao asked Erhuo to make some special dan beads, and get the dan beads ready for Master Guan. In fact, he would use the dan beads not only on Master Guan but also on the other management specialists who worked for him. Those people were averagely weak in cultivation, so they needed dan beads to strengthen their physical conditions…
…
However, there was something Ye Xiao didn’t know…
Master Guan just walked out of the Monarch’s Hall, and he took a turn at the end of a valley. Suddenly, he dashed up to the sky and disappeared.
After just a few seconds, he was already in a big house located in the north of the city.
He didn’t hesitate to get in.
That was several hundred miles away from the Monarch’s Hall!
However, the old man just spent a few seconds.
In fact, not to mention the Dark Evil Spirit or Bai Long, even Bu Xiangfeng or Meng Youjiang might not be capable of moving this fast…
Sometimes, estimating with eyes could go quite wrong!
…
“Song, you old b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I am here!” Master Guan suddenly shouted in the house, and it shook the house.”
It stirred up a commotion inside the house.
