Ye Yunduan staggered back, and the three guards who were responsible for his safety stepped forward to keep him behind.

However, Shangguan Lingxiao was aggressively asking questions that were fiercely shaking their hearts with the grievance of tens of thousands of souls of the dead men. The three guards didn’t feel easy. Their faces turned green.

No matter what, Ye Yunduan finally had a chance to take a breath now, and at the same time, he felt annoyed and humiliated.

‘I’m a descendant of the Great Ye Clan, and this man, a leader of some organization in the martial world actually frightened me!’

‘This is absurd! This is unbelievable!’

‘This is unforgivable!’

He coldly said, “The City of Chaos, the city of no sins, has been the territory of my clan since the day it was built. It is the truth. n.o.body could change that. Now, the Great Ye Clan has returned, and the City of Chaos should return to our hands.

“The Brotherhood Alliance has occupied our land for so many years. You should be satisfied. It is reasonable that you give me back what belongs to me.

“As we are taking back the city, we surely will take over the businesses that you run in this place. I don’t see why it is unreasonable. You have said that the Brotherhood Alliance has lived in the City of Chaos for centuries. You have gained more than you deserve from the city. Isn’t that enough?

“The ma.s.sacre is not what we wanted. However, this is the martial world. This is how things must be in the martial world. I think you should understand this rule. If I have to give you an explanation about the problem, this is it. The rule of the martial world is the reason, and it is the problem!”

He might be giving a fallacious point about that, but he did have a quick mind. He was obviously the unreasonable one, but no matter what, he got his own way to go back on the track to reasons!

People on his side, especially the seven old masters, weren’t so happy about it though.

Shangguan Lingxiao turned solemn, and he made a long shout, “Hah, hah… Master Ye, is that what you think? We are in the martial world, so we should always do things by the rule of the martial world. Is that what you said?”

Ye Yunduan apparently knew he had provoked Shangguan Lingxiao. At this moment, he couldn’t surrender, so he said, “That’s right!”

He was scared by Shangguan Lingxiao’s power, but the Great Ye Army was obviously stronger than the people on the Brotherhood Alliance’s side in this place. More importantly, he still had the support of the seven clans. Since the seven old masters were here, Ye Yunduan believed the old men would save him no matter what happened. Once the seven masters made their move, the Brotherhood Alliance could never hurt Ye Yunduan!

The seven old masters were all great cultivators!

Ye Yunduan had pushed it to an end. Master Qin was worried. He just wanted to say something, but Shangguan Lingxiao didn’t let him.

“Since you want to do this in the martial world’s way, so be it! The stronger one wins, and the weaker one dies!”

Shangguan Lingxiao said, “I was wrong. The Brotherhood Alliance is a bunch of itinerant cultivators staying together! The Seven Golden Lotuses used to be itinerant cultivators, too. We should always follow the rule of the martial world!

“Since you have made your point, let me make an announcement for the Brotherhood Alliance here. The Brotherhood Alliance has done something stupid. We gave in for somebody else, and we should take responsibility for our stupidity! I am one of the leaders, and I apologize to my brothers! These brothers are our martyrs, and we will give their families top-level death benefits.

“From now on, the Brotherhood Alliance will never step back even one step!

“The brothers we lost today died because of me. I should have seen our enemies!

“We will submit to what we suffer today. However, we always pay our debts. We follow the rule of the martial world!

“In the name of the Brotherhood Alliance, I announce, from now on, the Heaven’s Leaf and the Seven Golden Lotuses are the Brotherhood Alliance’s enemies forever! We will fight them with our lives!

“What they did to us today will never be forgiven!”

When he said that, the seven old masters were all shocked. They knew that it was impossible to make peace with the Brotherhood Alliance…

The Brotherhood Alliance could have become an ally…

Shangguan Lingxiao stood up and shouted, “Zhu Zhe!”

“Yes!” Zhu Zhe was shaking, and he stepped ahead.

“Count!” Shangguan Lingxiao looked at the ground. “Remember every brother who died down there. I want their families’ names. I need to know how our brothers died today!

“They died because of me!

“Each one is a blood debt!

“We will let them pay one day!”

“Yes!” Zhu Zhe stood straight up.

“Go!” Shangguan Lingxiao was expressionless.

“Yes!” Zhu Zhe turned around and said, “Brothers, come with me!”

Peng Zhuiyun stepped forward to stand on Shangguan Lingxiao’s side. They were standing in the middle of the blood pond. The two brothers had their arms on their chests, staring at the Great Ye Army with coldness and fierceness in their eyes.

Shangguan Lingxiao had shown a clear att.i.tude.

‘Go down there and do the counting. n.o.body can hurt you. If they attack, we will protect you!’

Everybody was filled with emotions in their hearts.

Six of the seven old masters had closed their eyes.

There was nothing they could do now.

n.o.body won!

The Great Ye Army had lost its fame, and the Brotherhood Alliance had lost their brothers!

Master Guan was staring at Shangguan Lingxiao in the eyes. He saw the sadness in the man’s eyes.

Master Guan sighed.

He understood.

In fact, only a few people knew the truth behind the tragedy, but it wouldn’t make any difference if they let it out.

It was done. There was nothing to be said!

Why only the third and the youngest leader of the leaders of the Brotherhood Alliance showed up?

Those men, who were more like warmongers, why didn’t they show up?

Master Guan knew that there was an intrigue behind the tragedy.

If n.o.body plotted behind everything, if n.o.body infected Ye Yunduan, this ma.s.sacre would never take place. Even if a fight broke out, it wouldn’t end up into a tragedy like this!
