Dragon going into the Sea! . . .
Cha-Eun Xiao genially looked at Chihuo.
"You are being honest, Lord Monarch. You make it clear to us all." Chihuo took a long breath and said, "Kid, you are cunning… You are full of schemes…
"Is that why you decided to make the adjustments on the structure of the Monarch's Hall? You let me pick my people first, and you broke the old system. You knew I would easily rule these people…"
Chihuo took a deep breath and shook his head. He said, "You, my child… You are not only the best of your age… I haven't seen anybody else in the Human Realm Upon Heavens who could be as smart and wise as you in my life… and I have lived a long life… You are cunning. You are."
Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "I am flattered, Master Chihuo."
"Humph. There is something you don't want to say. I guess you also took precautions against me!" Chihuo said, "I was surprised. Why would you blow your own horn? You don't seem to be that kind of person who keeps talking about his glorious moments all the time. Well, you actually tell me everything about you, from the very beginning of your life. I know you are telling the truth, but honestly, I didn't feel happy to hear about it.
"Now as I think about it, you were telling me how fast you improved. You wanted me to know you were such a talented man, who had a promising future. You wanted me to feel lucky about becoming one of your men… You wanted me to be loyal to you… Am I right?"
Chihuo felt a little upset because he knew he was set up.
Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "Master Chihuo, you overestimate me. That is too complicated for me. Besides… Please think about it one more time… After what I said, do you think you want to choose a different path?"
Chihuo shook his head and said, "No… I wouldn't dare! You are such a monster! Maybe you are going to enter the Infinity Stage very soon. You may even become the Supremacy… When you said you wanted to reach the Immortality Stage in one year, I thought you were crazy, but I actually believed it was possible… If you truly reach the Immortality Stage in one year, I will never be your enemy!"
"Well, isn't it a good thing?" Cha-Eun Xiao laughed.
Chihuo was still upset, but he said, "When are you leaving? How do I keep the Hall of Life and Death running if the marvelous doctor is gone? Well, if somebody can take over your job, we can lie about it. If we stop the treatment, everybody will know you are gone!"
"Master Chihuo, don't worry about it. I will leave something for you, and with that, you will run the Hall of Life and Death well. Just keep recruiting new members." Cha-Eun Xiao said, "There are other ways to bring people back from death."
"You are not joking, are you? How?" Chihuo was shocked. "I know nothing about medicine. Don't you need to check the patients in person before giving the proper treatment?"
"Well, everybody says that I am a marvelous doctor, but it is truly not so difficult… I will give you some dan beads… Just feed the patients some dan beads according to their conditions. Nothing will go wrong." Cha-Eun Xiao sounded quite casual. "Oh, right. We must make an announcement… We won't be accepting patients below the Saint Origin Stage."
Chihuo's face was twisted. 'What? The line is raised just like this? Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens are refused! Are you sure?'
In the next three days, news about the Hall of Life and Death raising up the line of cultivation level of patients spread out.
Cha-Eun Xiao was still running the Hall of Life and Death.
The Dark Evil Spirit, Bai Long, Qiu Luo, and the others had already left for the martial world.
The Monarch's Hall had spread out the seeds of its fame to the Limitless Ocean, to the martial world.
People of the twelve units went everywhere to recruit men and expand territory…
These people were the weakest of the Monarch's Hall. They all wanted to improve and become important in the organization!
People in the Monarch's Hall always had opportunities to take a higher position in the system… Everybody could be one of the Five Kings someday!
Bu Xiangfeng and Meng Youjiang made an agreement to take turns to guard the Monarch's Hall.
Each of them went out for one month before the shift.
They were the Great Executor and the Head of all Departments, but they had to be ready to earn credits. Chihuo was too powerful, and these two still had a long way to go before reaching Chihuo's level!
The Seven Stars of the Monarch's Hall had left quietly one night. Nobody knew where they went.
"As you leave, you may not be able to come back alive. You may die in the Limitless Ocean. If you come back someday with good news, we will celebrate your return."
Before they were free to leave, Cha-Eun Xiao gave a speech.
"If you win a glorious fight in the name of the Monarch's Hall, we will all cheer for you. If you lose and die out there, try to send a message back. Let us know who the enemy is.
"The Monarch's Hall will never let go of the people who kill our brothers!
"No matter who they are!
"That is what I want to say.
"Let's go."
Cha-Eun Xiao was giving them the courage to leave.
…
After three days, Cha-Eun Xiao silently left the Hall of Life and Death, heading to the east.
He was going deeper into the Limitless Ocean.
"What if the Great Cha Army makes any unexpected moves when you are gone?"
"They are like a bunch of ants. Just ignore them."
"Cha Yunduan wants you dead. Be careful when you travel alone."
"The Great Cha Army is just a group of weak ants. Cha Yunduan… Heh heh… He is just a clown. Don't worry about it."
"Lord Monarch, do you have enemies who compare to you?"
"Absolutely!"
"Who?"
"Well, for the short term, let's say the five Sky Kings…"
"Ah?"
"Heh heh. I am leaving. Master Chihuo, please make progress soon. You don't have much time."
"I know… Ah… Wait! No… Wait!"
"…"
Cha-Eun Xiao had disappeared in the light of dawn.
Chihuo saw Cha-Eun Xiao off.
He suddenly felt fulfilled in his heart.
He had a feeling like he was witnessing the start of a legend.
He felt like Cha-Eun Xiao was a dragon going into the sea.
The dragon returned to the sea. The tiger returned to the mountain. The hawk returned to the sky.
"I think… Before long… I will witness the return of a king!"
Chihuo murmured.
