Fierce of Mien but Faint of Heart . . .
After many battles, many people of the Great Cha Army were severely injured. Cha Yunduan didn't know what to do. He had brought many dan beads with him from his clan, but those dan beads did not work well enough for the wounded people. In the end, he decided to get help from the Hall of Life and Death.
Cha-Eun Xiao never refused a patient.
He only asked for some purple spirit coins to cure some normal patients.
When it was an important figure of the Great Cha Army, Cha-Eun Xiao wanted something else.
"One promise."
"I want a promise from Cha Yunduan or the seven old masters." Cha-Eun Xiao didn't ask for anything unreasonable. After all, somebody had agreed to the deal before, so the Great Cha Army couldn't argue. Therefore, it was done!
After the agreement was made, over a thousand men of the Great Cha Army were healed. Cha-Eun Xiao had earned a fortune, and people owed him a lot of favors.
The House of Chaotic Storms, the Hall of Returning Nature, and the Great Cha Army owed him some.
The Xie League only owed him five.
The Dark Evil Spirit thought that Master Ling, the leader of the Xie League, was a friend of Cha-Eun Xiao. After all, Cha-Eun Xiao had that Golden Soul Bell. The Dark Evil Spirit knew it, so he believed there must be a connection between Master Ling and Cha-Eun Xiao. However, when the Xie League people came for the treatment, Cha-Eun Xiao did not give them any special treatment. The Dark Evil Spirit was surprised!
When everybody was fighting in the battles, nobody noticed that Cha-Eun Xiao was slowly accumulating.
Cha-Eun Xiao was well aware.
He knew that what he had in hand had become an extremely strong power!
The favors that people owed him allowed him to turn the Limitless Ocean over and over again many times…
Things developed as Cha-Eun Xiao expected. The Great Cha Army started to fight the House of Chaotic Storms. The House of Chaotic Storms was making an unexpected move, though. They did not show themselves in the battle and avoided fights.
They were holding it off.
They knew the Great Cha Army wanted them to go. They didn't refuse to leave, but they didn't fight, either.
For over ten days, the Great Cha Army had nothing to do.
The House of Chaotic Storms was still the most powerful force in the City of Chaos, who was running the biggest territory. They had set up a lot of traps and secret tunnels everywhere. Nobody could find them.
In a few days, nobody knew how they did it, but they created a piece of purple cloud that covered the entire west city. The weird purple cloud blocked people's views and resisted the spiritual mind from outside. The Great Cha Army couldn't think of a way to break through.
Cha Yunduan was furious. Twenty days after, he made his last warning to the House of Chaotic Storms. He urged the House of Chaotic Storms to leave the City of Chaos in three days, or he would destroy everything and kill every man of the House of Chaotic Storms!
The same day, the House of Chaotic Storms gave their response.
That was a tough response.
"When the war begins, the city collapses!"
There were only seven words.
That was all. They let the Great Cha Army make the decision and also predicted the result of the war!
Cha Yunduan was lost in thoughts for a long time when he got the message.
The House of Chaotic Storms had clearly made their point. "If you dare to start the battle, we will detonate the buildings that we own in this city!"
It was like a joke, saying that they were going to destroy their own subbranch when anything happened!
However, Cha Yunduan was frightened.
What was the House of Chaotic Storms?
He had learned a lot about it. Ordinary people did not know who Master Bai was. Cha Yunduan was the descendant of the Great Cha Clan. The Great Cha Clan had connections in the Human Realm Upon Heavens even though it had left for one hundred thousand years. They had their way to know anything that the five sky kings weren't hiding.
Master Bai did not tell everybody who he was, but he didn't try to cover it!
Master Bai was the son of the East Sky King!
He was the only son of the queen!
He was at a much higher position than Cha Yunduan!
Cha Yunduan knew that it would provoke Master Bai if he pushed the House of Chaotic Storms too far!
He had just messed with the son of the South Sky King, so he didn't know if it was a good idea to provoke the son of the East Sky King.
Even though he was bold, he hesitated.
Cha Yunduan had been hurried. He wanted to take over the City of Chaos as soon as possible, so he didn't spend enough time to find out who was behind the Hall of Returning Nature.
He knew that Meng Wuzhen was a powerful man who was connected to the South Sky King. He figured that was the reason why the Hall of Returning Nature became the most powerful force in the Limitless Ocean… When things were done, the old men pointed at his nose and scolded him for a long time. That was when he realized the leader of the Hall of Returning Nature was actually the son of the South Sky King…
He knew that the South Sky King wouldn't care about some fights in some small city, but he still felt the oppression.
After that, Cha Yunduan paid more attention to collecting intelligence. He started to learn about the House of Chaotic Storms. The House of Chaotic Storms dared to go against the son of the South Sky King, which meant their leader must also be a powerful figure. After some investigation, he realized that Master Bai was the son of the East Sky King!
In fact, he thought Ling Wuxie, the leader of the Xie League, must be the son of one of the sky kings as well. Before the House of Chaotic Storms rose, the Xie League had been acting against the Hall of Returning Nature. Besides, Ling Wuxie and Master Bai were like brothers. No matter how Ling Wuxie messed with the Hall of Returning Nature, he was always safe!
The House of Chaotic Storms had given their response, and Cha Yunduan was hesitating. 'You are all sons of the sky kings… Can't you just wait for the day that you take over your fathers' thrones?
'I just want to reach the top of the world, not to become the top! Why do you have to use your special background to beat me?'
He surely should be scared. When he messed with the Hall of Returning Nature, he could explain that he didn't know who he was truly messing with. However, now he was going to mess with the House of Chaotic Storms and also the Xie League at the same time.
