Chapter 1530: A Commanding Position

There was another old man who looked skinny and seemed to be extraordinary in the martial world. He was staring at Ye Xiao with a strange glow in his eyes. He said, “This is enough… even if he isn’t who we believe he is…”

This old man was Yun, the clan leader of the Yun Clan, one of the Seven Golden Lotuses.

The four old men were all watching what was happening on the ground. They were paying extra attention to Ye Xiao.

They were all cunning old men with sharp eyes. They could see that the two companions of Master Xiao, who looked young, were extremely powerful cultivators. They didn’t know who these two men were, but they knew that nobody in the Monarch’s Hall could defeat them.

Even Bu Xiangfeng and Meng Youjiang together could only fight one of the two powerful men.

If the two men fight along Master Xiao, the Monarch’s Hall was probably going to be destroyed…

That was the power of the top-level cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

No matter in the Land of Han-Yang, the Qing-Yun Realm, or the Human Realm Upon Heavens, top-level cultivators were powerful enough to easily destroy an organization! There was no difference.

The four old men were ready to go out and save the Monarch’s Hall.

They just wanted to see what Ye Xiao would do. If the enemies attacked, they would go out and kill the three men immediately!

Master Xiao and his men could destroy the Monarch’s Hall, while the four old men could kill the three men immediately!

Master Xiao thought for a while. He smiled and said, “Master Ye is a brilliant man. This is the first time we meet each other, and I can’t stop being impressed. However, we are here to end the trouble with Bu Xiangfeng. We must get things done as things go worse. Please, Master Ye, give us the chance.”

He did not want to give up but had already stepped back a bit and showed respect.

Ye Xiao disdainfully said, “Master Xiao, the problem between you two was caused by an item. Come on, don’t talk like it is some big deal.”

Master Xiao was provoked, and he coldly said, “Isn’t it? It is about the competition indeed, and it is still a problem that we must solve!”

“No, it isn’t! How is that a big deal? You were competing for one thing and that is all!” Ye Xiao slightly raised his head and stared at Master Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao also raised up his nose, showing Master Xiao a sneering face.

“I have heard about what happened. I know all the details… I know every word you two said.”

Ye Xiao slowly said, “The only thing I feel about this situation is that this is a fair competition. That is all. If you keep saying this is a personal issue between you two, you are too narrow-minded!”

Ye Xiao was obviously backing Bu Xiangfeng up, yet he talked like he was only speaking for justice. That was impressive!

Master Xiao held down the raging anger in his heart. While looking at the Monarch of the Monarch’s Hall, he gritted his teeth and said, “Well, it seems insulting is a reasonable thing to do for you, isn’t it? I must say that you should be stricter when talking about offensive acts.”

Ye Xiao was indifferent. “You must have lived some pretty easy and happy life, and that is why such normal things are so unendurable to you.”

Master Xiao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Please, I wonder what you want to say about it!”

“Well, don’t get mad. There is always a reason for the result. Your vertical bamboo flute was broken, so you needed the materials to fix it. That is the cause and effect. You think you should get the metal that you want because you only see it in your own position. Whoever stands against you for the metal seems to be unforgivable. You think the man will stand on your way to get what you want.”

Ye Xiao said, “In fact, Bu Xiangfeng’s sword was broken too. He needed the metals as much as you did. That is his cause and effect. You both want it, and neither of you would like to give up!”

Ye Xiao paused and said, “One could choose to be good or to be evil. That is something we can do about the cause and effect. Master Xiao, you are famous in the world. Is it your vertical bamboo flute that makes you famous? No, it is not. Your vertical bamboo flute is just an instrument. With it, you are Master Xiao; without it, you are still Master Xiao. It is yourself that makes you a famous man!

“You could say that if you use some ordinary vertical bamboo flute, you won’t be as famous as you were. I am not sure… Do you really think so?”

Master Xiao was shocked. He was quiet for a while. He was an arrogant man who had confidence in his capabilities. He knew why Ye Xiao would say those words, but he couldn’t deny the fact.

“Master Xiao, have you ever thought it this way? What does a sword mean to Bu Xiangfeng? The sword is not only his weapon but also half of his life. He is a cultivator and a diligent one at that. He has to survive the challenging world in the Limitless Ocean.

“A good weapon means so much to a cultivator. Do you know how important it is for a cultivator to have a weapon that could accompany him for a lifetime? Whoever wants to take away the materials that can fix his sword is definitely his enemy! Don’t you agree?”

Ye Xiao looked down upon Master Xiao.

“Your vertical bamboo flute is important to you, while his sword is important to him. I think you know who needs the materials the most.”

Master Xiao gritted his teeth. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn’t.

The sword was more important to Bu Xiangfeng than the vertical bamboo flute to Master Xiao.
