Chapter 1548: Fraud?

“It is not as difficult as you think to solve the problem. For instance, if we catch you to make an exchange and save our young master’s life, how difficult could that be? What do you think, Monarch Ye?” Master Qin, the chief of the Qin Clan who stood on the young man’s side coldly said.

“I don’t think so!” Ye Xiao laughed and said, “You are free to try. Let’s see if you can save him by catching me. Oh, let’s see if he is still alive when you get me!”

Everybody knew that it was not going to work. The cat was able to catch the young man when all those superior cultivators were around him. Nobody was faster than the cat!

Nobody dared to try because it would put the descendant of the Great Ye Clan in danger. If they failed, he would die. Even if they made it, Ye Xiao wouldn’t get hurt, anyway. Nobody dared to become a subordinate who would put the master’s life at risk!

At the very least, Ye Xiao was too stubborn, and he would probably refuse to exchange for his life.

A life for a life?

Ye Xiao would rather die than making such a stupid exchange. After all, losing the young man was too much a loss for the Great Ye Clan!

If Ye Xiao cared for it that much, he wouldn’t be so stubborn, would he? He would definitely kill the young man!

The guard who started all this was in difficulty. He gritted his teeth. He opened his eyes wide, but there was nothing he could do.

He didn’t want to be threatened, and he would never kowtow to Meng Youjiang, who was as weak as an ant. However, if he wanted to save his master from the cat’s claw, he had no choice.

In the end, he had to cave. He must suffer the humiliation!

“It seems your man needs some time to think. Well, why don’t you give me your names while he is wasting his time?” Ye Xiao held both of his arms on his chest and indifferently said, “Let me see who the hell are you; a group of great cultivators who came to the Monarch’s Hall and made trouble!”

He stared at the young man with both of his eyes that were as sharp as needles. He then blandly said, “Let’s start with the leader. Shall we?”

These great cultivators were standing right before Ye Xiao. Any of them could kill him by waving a hand. They could easily destroy the entire Monarch’s Hall. However, Ye Xiao didn’t seem to be afraid of them. He didn’t turn soft at all.

The young man realized that this prime leader of the Monarch’s Hall did not want to end this peacefully. What Ye Xiao wanted was to humiliate that guard.

The young man’s eyes turned cold.

He had to solve the problem, or his great plan would become nothing!

He coldly said, “I am Ye Changqing. My clan gave me this name. However, I want to be a man beyond the clouds in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, so I named myself Ye Yunduan. You can call me Ye Yunduan. I am not famous because I am new to the world. I guess you haven’t heard about me ever.”

Ye Xiao nodded and blandly said, “The Great Ye Clan lives forever. Your heart is beyond heavens, and you walk over the clouds. Pretty good. It seems your clan has done some hard work to decide your name. You must be important in your clan.”

Ye Yunduan coldly said, “The Great Ye Clan has left the martial world for one hundred thousand years, but our bloodline never stopped. My name is just a normal name. You seem to be interested in my name because you don’t like yours. Well, your name is low indeed. I guess your clan doesn’t care much for you, Brother Ye. Oh, that is just my opinion though. It could be wrong.”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “I never get much attention from the clan. Not as much as you do.”

After that, he stopped talking to him but turned to the other guys. “You, why don’t you tell me your names too? Let me know who broke into my place.”

“The Seven Golden Lotuses of the Great Ye Clan. The seven clans are together now.” The old man, who had a pair of vicious eyes, blandly said, “I am Qin. This is Qi, and this is Yue. The other four, I think you already know them.”

“Oh, my pleasure to meet you in person.” Ye Xiao indifferently said.

“I wonder why the seven clans came to my place together? There must be a reason.” Ye Xiao kept talking with indifference. His voice was flat like he didn’t care at all.

“We are here to solve a problem.” Master Qin said, “You pretended the descendant of the Great Ye Clan, and the four of us followed you because of it. You used us to expand your own territory. That is dishonorable! Luckily, the true descendant of the Great Ye Clan has come to us and told us the truth. You plotted a fraud, and you should see this coming someday. We are here to take our people back, and also to take over the Monarch’s Hall, in which we have put our effort in doing so. It is a reasonable request. What do you think?”

“What do I think? I surely do not agree! How can I?” Ye Xiao coldly laughed and said, “Let’s begin with the fraud. Let me ask you, the four old masters. Have I ever told you that I am a descendant of the Great Ye Clan?”

Ye Xiao looked at the four old men.

The old men looked aside and avoid eye contact.

“I did not know until now that I deceived the four old masters to join the Monarch’s Hall! Didn’t you come to me first? Well, I did invite Master Guan to come because I need his help to get the resources I need to build the Monarch’s Hall. However, remember this. I went to him because he was Guan Tiemian, not a clan chief of some lotus. I am an honest and honorable cultivator. I am not powerful, but I am not shameless!”

Ye Xiao coldly smiled and said, “One more thing. I recruited good men because I need them to join my organization. I have done nothing wrong about that! A new organization always needs to recruit new members! I was recruiting good men from the entire Limitless Ocean! Have I done something wrong? When I first met Master Guan, I have shown my respect and sincerity! He was touched, so he decided to join me! I did not deceive him, did I?”
