Ye Xiao nodded and blandly said, “Please, Master Ju. Who are those people? Or would you mind telling me… Who you are, old masters?”

His face suddenly turned cold and expressionless. His warm smile was already gone. In his eyes, there was only suspicion.

The four old masters sighed.

Master Guan bitterly smiled and said, “How did you get to us, Monarch? Did we do anything suspicious?”

“No, not really. You have been very cautious and careful. At least, I don’t see any difference between you and the ordinary old guys outside. You have done so well in hiding!” Ye Xiao praised.

Master Guan sighed and said, “You are too much weaker than us in cultivation, and that was the only reason you haven’t seen any traces. We are too powerful, and we have been trying to disguise ourselves. You can never notice any flaws in us. I just don’t understand. How did you know that those people were ours?”

“It was quite simple, actually. Old Master, please think about it. Whoever did this for me must be powerful, clever, related and supportive to me. How many people in the City of Chaos, even the Limitless Ocean, would do this for me? You guys are the only possible ones. It has to be you!” Ye Xiao nodded and calmly said, “In fact, we have recruited so many people in a short time recently, and these people who decided to follow us are good men!”

“Normally, these people had a lot of opportunities in this city, because there are a lot of powerful forces who just settled in this city. Why would they come to me? We are the weakest. At first, I thought they followed me only because of Master Guan. They knew you before. However, there are more and more coming to join us. That is unreasonable!”

The four old men sighed again.

“Lord Monarch, you can see the whole picture from a few details. That is impressive. Those people who are helping us… Well, we are together, but they don’t belong to our clans.” Master Guan said, “They are from the other three clans, not ours.”

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh?”

What Master Guan said was giving a lot of information. Master Guan, Master Ju, Master Song, and Master Yun were obviously from four different clans. There were three other clans, which made it seven in total. The four old masters were obviously more powerful than Bu Xiangfeng. The seven clans together must be more powerful than Ye Xiao could imagine. The power they showed by helping him on the battlefield had already shocked him. Why would these seven clans help him?

It was suspicious!

“Monarch, you don’t trust us. I can understand. We didn’t want to hide it from you forever, anyway. We just never get a good time to tell you everything. Now that you have noticed us, I guess we should tell you our positions and purpose. We don’t want you to feel threatened. When the Great Master Ye built this city and fought for the top position of the Human Realm Upon Heavens, he had a lot of followers. There were seven important a.s.sistants whom he trusted the most! These seven men were all great cultivators! The Seven Golden Lotuses was their name, and they were well known to the entire world!”

Master Guan decided to tell Ye Xiao everything. “Great Master Ye and the Ye Clan swore to leave the martial world, but the Seven Golden Lotuses didn’t. They stayed in the City of Chaos and became the ruler of the city. In fact, that is why the City of Chaos developed into the safest city in the world.”

“It has been a hundred thousand years since they took root here. The seven of them had their own clans and their own descendants. Now, the seven clans have become the seven most important forces in the City of Chaos.”

“The Seven Golden Lotuses…” Ye Xiao was repeating the name, but his eyes looked indifferent.

“For one hundred thousand years, the seven clans never showed themselves to the public. All they did was to control the city secretly.”

“The seven clans knew what they must do during that one hundred thousand years! They must wait for the descendant of the Ye Clan! They must wait for the return of the Ye Clan!”

Master Guan looked at Ye Xiao and shakily said, “Now, you finally came! For the seven clans… You… You are too important! We can’t make any mistakes. You are the only hope for the Ye Clan and for the seven clans!”

“We are waiting… We are looking forward to the rise of the Seven Golden Lotuses again!”

Ye Xiao stayed quiet for a while and then said, “What exactly are the seven clans?”

“Guan Clan, Ju Clan, Yun Clan, Song Clan, Qin Clan, Qi Clan, and Yeu Clan.”

Master Guan said solemnly, “The seven ancestors of our clans were… Guan Shanyao, Ju Weisheng, Yun Duanlu, Song Poxiao, Qin Menghun, Qi Tiangong, Yue Youyou.”

“If the Monarch’s Hall fought the battles alone these days, even with that great dan beads of yours, you would certainly lose… Even though the Monarch’s Hall could survive, it would be greatly weakened. We all saw how much you have done for this organization. We must do something to help you, to keep the Monarch’s Hall from destruction.”

“That is why we asked the other three clans to send their people into the battle and kill our enemies…”

Since Master Guan said this much, Ye Xiao already knew everything.

However, when he looked at the old men, he still seemed to feel weird.

He made a sigh and said, “Old masters, maybe what you did is not the best. Perhaps you have missed something important… I am Ye Xiao. My Clan is the Ye Clan indeed. However, I have never said… I never said that I am a descendant of the Great Ye Clan… I am not a good person, but I am not shameless. I don’t want to s.n.a.t.c.h another one’s fame…”

That was shocking news to the old men. What he said could have led to some really harsh attacks from the four masters. ‘We have done so much, sacrificed so much, worked so hard to help you with this organization… We did all this only because we thought you were the descendant of the Great Ye Clan… Now what? You’re telling us you were not!? Well… There is… truly not much we can say…’

Ye Xiao’s personality didn’t allow him to keep pretending. At the very least, he didn’t want the old men to find out the truth by themselves someday. Ye Xiao made a sigh and told the four old men the truth. Even though the old masters might turn against him, he would only accept the consequences because he didn’t want to live as a liar!

“That is impossible!” the four old men said.

Ye Xiao threw up both hands and said, “Old Masters, I know you are smart and wise, but all wise men make mistakes. Perhaps, it is my family name that led you to the wrong conclusion… I am not a descendant of the Great Ye Clan. I am telling the truth. I know you may turn away from me, but I will always remember what you have done for me. I will never forget your kindness and generosity. Truth is the truth. We are honest with each other now. Masters, you should better start finding the true descendant of the Great Ye Clan as soon as possible!”

Master Guan said loudly, “What? Do you think we are stupid? Your family name is Ye. Do you think that is the only reason we believe you are the descendant of the Great Ye Clan? It is not that simple. We have the Bloodline Jade Plate that proves your true ident.i.ty. Without it, we would never recognize you, would we? You are definitely the descendant of the Great Ye Clan!”

“The Bloodline Jade Plate?” Ye Xiao was shocked, and his eyes were wide opened. “What is the Bloodline Jade Plate? What is it?”

At this moment, Ye Xiao couldn’t stay calm anymore. His voice turned weird because he was too surprised.

Ye Xiao’s reaction was such a surprise to the four old men as well. They were shocked.

Master Guan said, “Are you telling me… that you don’t know about the Bloodline Jade Plate, Master?”

Ye Xiao felt his heart beating fast and heavily. He was even a little lost. With no reason, his heart was full of the desire to learn. It seemed like something that could reveal his true ident.i.ty made him lose control of himself. He asked, “What on earth is the Bloodline Jade Plate?”

Ye Xiao had always been troubled by the truth that he was an orphan. What he wanted the most was always to find his own parents and family. That was also one of the reasons why he couldn’t truly treat Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue as his parents even in the second life. After he started to cultivate the East-rising Purple Qi in the second life, he got a much sharper instinct. That instinct always gave him enlightenment. It was not a coincidence that he would be reborn as who he was now. There must be a connection. There must be something that connected Xiao Monarch and the young lord Ye Xiao. That connection gave Ye Xiao the second chance to live!

When Master Guan mentioned the Bloodline Jade Plate, it touched Ye Xiao on the softest part of his heart!

Ye Xiao was emotional at the moment, and the four old men were lost.

Master Song and Master Yun exchanged looks.

Master Guan’s beard was shaking. He then said, “The Bloodline Jade Plate is a special item left by the Great Master Ye… When the descendant of the Great Ye Clan returns to the City of Chaos after a hundred thousand years… chaos would return to the city…”

“The Great Master Ye told the Seven Golden Lotuses that when the descendant appeared, the Bloodline Jade Plate would generate heat… Well… It would change…”

“I see.”

Ye Xiao closed his eyes and tried to keep his calm. He said, “When I showed up, did the Bloodline Jade Plate change?”

“Yes, it did. The Bloodline Jade Plate showed us a sign after the last one hundred thousand years… That was the only reason we started this plan…”

“I see…” Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Your plan… I guess your plan is to change the rule in the city, to bring chaos back to the city. You want to create an opportunity for the descendant of the Great Ye Clan…”

“You want to help him build a strong foundation in this chaos, so he could rise.”

He took a long breath with a sigh.

He did not know what to say anymore.

The feast ended in silence.

The old masters looked so weird.

Ye Xiao was always calm and steady, but now his mind was in a mess.

His instincts told him that the secret of his true ident.i.ty would be revealed soon…

What gave him a second life? What connected him to the Great Ye Clan, and everything else about him would be revealed soon!

“I feel wrong about this. How come?”

When the four old men stayed together, Master Song frowned and started to talk. He looked troubled.

“What is wrong? What could go wrong? The Bloodline Jade Plate is strong proof. We all checked it. What do you mean you feel wrong about it? Are you telling us we are all morons? Or do you question Great Master Ye’s decision?” Master Guan was terribly upset, so he was emotional. When Master Song said that, Master Guan was annoyed.

“We did check the Bloodline Jade Plate together. The seven of us. It is true. But… The young man… He seems…” It seemed Master Yun had something in mind.

After a while, n.o.body talked again.

After a long time, Master Guan abruptly stood up. He wanted to say something but did not speak anything out. Eventually, he waved his sleeves and left, leaving an angry humph behind.

The other three old men looked at each other in the room, but none of them had a word to say.

Master Guan left the room and looked around the Monarch’s Hall. After a while, he made a heavy sigh.

He watched the Monarch’s Hall being built from nothing. He partic.i.p.ated in every step of the construction.

It was started by a Faery Origin Stage weak shrimp, who had only one follower, the Dark Evil Spirit. After that, he got three more followers. Soon, he built the Hall of Life and Death and saved a lot of lives. Within three months, he had recruited tens of thousands of men!

Now, the Monarch’s Hall was about one-sixth of the City of Chaos!

That was a miracle!

He watched it, and he had worked hard for it!

The four clans brought Ye Xiao over ten thousand people, but Ye Xiao did recruit over two thousand good men on his own!

Everyone was beyond the Divinity Origin Stage!

It was an astonis.h.i.+ng success! Ye Xiao was a low-level weak cultivator himself! As the prime leader of the Monarch’s Hall, Ye Xiao did many great things, including making the organization a large-scale force, improving himself by fifteen levels! It was such a tremendous success!

If he had one more year, even just half a year, he might be able to reach the Saint Origin Stage! What would the Monarch’s Hall become then?

If the prime leader of the Monarch’s Hall was a much stronger cultivator, how would things develop?

Someday, once this young lord became as powerful as the five sky kings, what would the Monarch’s Hall become?

Master Guan decided not to think of it further because it would frighten him.
