The Seven Golden Lotuses eyes’ exploded with a radiant light as they were suddenly covered in fighting spirit from head to toe.

No one knew better than them exactly what Ye Hongchen’s words meant.

Without exception all of Heaven’s Leaf’s subordinates!?

Actually all of the subordinates!

People only commonly knew that 100,000 years ago, Heaven’s Leaf’s most capable assistants were the Seven Golden Lotuses, and also the largest group of assistants.

Nothing wrong with this, this is correct.

However… does the subordinates of Heaven’s Leaf really just contain the Seven Golden Lotuses?

Heaven’s Leaf wanted to establish an imperial court superpower at that time. If it only had the Seven Golden Lotuses as subordinates, that would be a bit too childish, right?

Ye Hongchen went into reclusive seclusion for 100,000 years. During that time, all of his old brothers also subsequently disappeared. This is true, however, these people were not gone but were simply waiting in hiding for Ye Hongchen’s summons, a concealed blade honing strength for one big push!

They were waiting for the so-called Time of Breaking Heaven!

They were only waiting for the order of Ye Hongchen to come down, at that time they wouldn’t refuse to walk the inevitable mountain of daggers and sea of flames!

But right now, this order from Ye Hongchen is clearly targeting the Five Sky Kings!

Will they break every currently existing rule and regulation!?

100,000 years ago, they failed to fight until the end. The commander rose but the power struggle cut down the world’s warriors. Today, they finally received the information, they could finally fight again in the Jianghu and race across the whole world!

…

Ye Xiao sped along the road, his face constantly brimming with an indescribably warm and comforting smile.

Jun Yinglian discovered that from leaving until then, Ye Xiao unexpectedly kept this smile and didn’t let it disappear.

Regarding this, Jun Yinglian was 1200% happy to see this situation. Jun Yinglian sincerely loved Ye Xiao. The two people had spent lots of time together. He was incomparable and easily made friends to strive together with, but Jun Yinglian would dare to say that she had never seen Ye Xiao happy in this way before, to the point where he couldn’t hold back his pleased satisfaction.

What was he smiling about?

Although this was a good thing, Jun Yinglian deep in her heart couldn’t figure out the puzzle and understand what was happening. It was only possible for her to confirm that something in the past had disturbed Ye Xiao all along. From the beginning to now he had some kind of negative thought weighting him down, but now it had thoroughly disappeared!

Right now, from inside to outside Ye Xiao is completely relaxed!

Happy!

Satisfied!

So long as Ye Xiao can be happy and satisfied, this is enough for Jun Yinglian. She didn’t insist on knowing the exact cause.

It simply wasn’t important!

Mood quite joyful and his footsteps increasingly lively, on the latter half of the journey Ye Xiao’s sudden increase in cultivation made him decide that he might as well grab Jun Yinglian around her slender waist and speed up. They returned extremely quickly, in no more than about two days, the path of one hundred ten thousand li traveled at the back of their minds–

Ahead they could already see trees of great height!

Looking ahead they could see the Life and Death Hall!

In the midst of speeding along, Ye Xiao suddenly halted his steps.

In front of the Life and Death Hall, there was shockingly a squad of troops stationed.

The sentry troops’ banner waved in the air. They arranged themselves in three stars surrounding and protecting a battle array, the shape of the whole squad taking on a huge triangle.

Regardless of which side, they all appeared to be the most intense approach in the strict attack formation.

“It’s the Eastern Sky royal family troops?” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but burst out in amazement.

Why would the Eastern Sky royal family troops appear here?

But also… But also they clearly weren’t coming to attack the Life and Death Hall’s tree fortress, looking at this position, it seems like actually… they came to guard it?

Three stars surrounding and protecting, surrounding and protecting where? Surrounding and protecting the Monarch’s Hall Life and Death Hall tree fortress?!

Ye Xiao was sincerely confused.

Although he was very amazing… But still, how was it possible for him to be at the stage of having the Eastern Sky King’s troops come safeguard him?

These people don’t even go guard Young Master Bai, how did they end up arriving here instead?

This isn’t logical!

Furthermore, looking at the troops’s dress style, configuration, weaponry, armor, the level of their elites… This, clearly this is the Eastern Sky King His Majesty’s royal imperial guard?

My goodness gracious!

Don’t look at how Ye Xiao had suddenly ascended in strength to Undead Stage rank 8, compared with many of the established veteran powerhouses he still needed more strength. There were simply more people out there who were stronger, for example this imperial household’s imperial guard before his eyes. If you throw out the situation of dirty tricks such as a sneak attack or taking the enemy by surprise, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to clean up Ye Xiao as a newly ascended Undead Stage rank 8 peak powerhouse!

The royal imperial guard’s area of management is just to guard the Imperial City and Imperial Palace. If they didn’t have military power and strength exceeding the top rank, how would they do this? Perhaps the individual strength of a single soldier wasn’t excessively high, but when they joined hands together to fight, their strength can multiply many times!

However, Ye Xiao had just thought of a possibility, a very likely possibility. His eyes brightened up, and he couldn’t help but mumble, “Don’t tell me… did that little girl come?”

Jun Yinglian at the side immediately burst into jealousy when she heard this, and sourly said, “Which little girl came? Don’t tell me that other than Xuan Bing, you have another little girl out there!”

Ye Xiao’s face showed a soft and warm smile. “It’s Su Yeyue.”

“Oh, turns out it is her.” Jun Yinglian immediately colored as she realized this.

Ye Xiao’s remark was for Su Yeyue. Jun Yinglian immediately dropped her jealousy. It was precisely this little girl’s innocent guileless acts that broke down the door to Ye Xiao’s icebound heart. Just to be able to undo the knot in his heart and open up his embrace, and on top of that what she did for Ye Xiao that day was everything.

Regarding Su Yeyue, Jun Yinglian even has feelings of gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

“Only, how did this little girl get ahold of this distribution of troops, it seems like she requested them to continue protecting the Monarch’s Hall’s Life and Death Hall…” Ye Xiao scratched his head as he looked at the triangle of troops in front of the Life and Death Hall’s front gate.

“Could it be that something is the matter?”

Ye Xiao muttered inside his heart.

Ye Xiao’s guess was completely without a mistake.

Su Yeyue arrived there and announced out her identity. Fortunately, Xuan Bing was there and knew who Su Yeyue was to personally welcome her, otherwise the outcome wouldn’t have been as good. Xuan Bing indeed knew who Su Yeyue was, as she listened to everything that came out of Song Jue’s mouth. He even said… even said that Xuan Bing needed approval from the mistress, including arranging future he wanted with Jun Yinglian. Su Yeyue was in charge of the family mistresses!

En… This mainly came from Song Jue’s instilling of ranking. Outside of Ye Xiao, Song Jue is Xuan Bing’s most intimate close relative and she is grateful for how Song Jue treats her. This father-daughter type of love caused her to revere Song Jue’s teachings and conversations as her golden rule. For example, she is Ye Xiao’s small concubine, and must be very very good to Ye Xiao. Also, Ye Xiao had a fiance arranged in the womb, and the Ye Family’s actual mistress was that little girl Su Yeyue. She must hold Su Yeyue in 1200% esteem, this was the Ye Family, and harmony was the main point to comply with, and so on…

Therefore, Xuan Bing didn’t hesitate to meet Su Yeyue and felt familiar like old friends at first sight. Xuan Bing wouldn’t replace the name of Su Yeyue as the household mistress, and she welcomed her into the Life and Death Hall tree fortress.

But, concerning the Eastern Sky Imperial Guard, they actually couldn’t go in. The tree fortress only greeted its own people, of which Su Yeyue is one, but the Eastern Sky Imperial Guard… is not. Su Yeyue expressed her understanding, contrary to expectations, as the Eastern Sky Imperial Guard is to a large degree the Eastern Sky King’s Imperial Guard. They would guard their own people without hesitation, putting all their energy into it, but regarding Ye Xiao’s Monarch’s Hall’s Life and Death Hall they couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t harm it. At that time they were ordered to set up camp just outside…

Afterwards they suffered a very fortuitous matter. The Hall of Returning Nature’s manpower came and saw the dark, dense masses of the barracks in the evening. Without objections, they immediately released fire and launched the attack.
