Chapter 1884: Poking the Hornet’s Nest

Poking the Hornet's Nest . . .

Cha Yunduan had a gloomy face as he muttered to himself, lost in thought for a time. A long long time after, his eyes suddenly turned bright as he said, "But… if we don't confine the direction to having an Undead Stage rank 9 expert, rather not consider the use of high-end battle strength, in that way there is still a power that could possibly… accomplish this one time of shifting blame."

Old Man Guan's eyes flashed. He asked in a sinking voice, "Who?"

"Monarch's Hall!" Cha Yunduan said softly. "In these few years, the Monarch's Hall has been concealing their strength and biding time all along, recovering and recuperating, keeping their real battle strength a secret all along. Although their casualties in the fight between the two halls were disastrous, their high-level losses were next to nothing. Also, the Monarch's Hall's members advance their strength at a godly speed, by far beating any influence of the present age. Even if they don't have an Undead Stage rank 9 expert, if they used a large amount of extremely powerful high-level cultivators, they wouldn't necessarily be unable to bring about a similar result to this event!

Again think deeper, this one act of shifting the blame could be said to have caused all the powers inside the Limitless Ocean to meet with calamity and have disastrous losses. Like us, since we seem without damage, we have made countless enemies throughout the world. Only the Monarch's Hall genuinely has not even a hair damaged, they have perfectly stayed out of it!"

Cha Yunduan said, "Everyone can think about it carefully. I think that although this theory is a bit shocking, so much so that it is regarded as too much strength for the Monarch's Hall to have, but as this incident's sole power that gained an advantage from it? The suspicion is indeed the greatest, can we ignore this possibility?"

The seven old men simultaneously sighed.

"If we only listen to Young Master Cha 's analysis, it indeed makes sense. It is a fact as well that the Monarch's Hall isn't even a hair damaged by this incident…" Old Man Song wrinkled his brows. "But, leaving aside the fact that the Monarch's Hall doesn't have this kind of formidable battle power, as this senile old man believes that sentence of Young Master Cha, you actually said that the Monarch's Hall was precisely the only advantageous one… This so-called advantage of the Monarch's Hall, where exactly is it?"

Cha Yunduan said, "The Monarch's Hall hasn't suffered the slightest bit of damage during this event, and at the same time managed to completely stay out of it. How is this not occupying the greatest advantage?"

"Originally Young Master Cha means that not suffering a loss is precisely gaining an advantage…" Old Man Yun sneered, "Originally not suffering a loss is gaining an advantage, according to some, this falls under the overwhelming majority of circumstances, we know this. What a pity that there are a few unsuitable circumstances!"

Cha Yunduan's complexion changed. His previous confidence immediately stagnated, and he stopped. "Please direct me, Old Man Yun!" Follow current novelenglish.net . s on NovelEnglish.net

Old Man Yun, shutting him up, said, "Young Master Cha, don't tell me you don't know that the Monarch's Hall didn't just today start being perfectly uninvolved. As early as several years ago after the two Hall's war, they started this state of being uninvolved! But I would also like to ask, who could possibly make the Monarch's Hall suffer a loss, or even someone who could let the Monarch's Hall's Life and Death Hall suffer even a tiny bit of damage?"

Cha Yunduan's complexion appeared to be ugly.

Yes, who could let the Monarch's Hall suffer a loss?

They had the unrivalled in the world tree fortress barrier. Even if they directly confronted the Seven Golden Lotuses, they could also defend themselves.

In that way, they only had to not come out and absolutely no one could make them suffer even the tiniest loss!

They had maintained the state of not getting involved for such a long time already, for quite a long time before this situation. Your thesis concludes that they are suspicious, but how are they guilty of any trouble?

At the side, several Cha Family elders also nodded continuously.

"Besides, let's talk again about the Monarch's Hall's definite strength." Old Man Yun said, getting somewhat angry, "Whether or not the Monarch's Hall has this capability I don't know, and I don't dare to assert one way or the other, but… two years ago at their fight with the Hall of Returning Nature, the Monarch's Hall's hundreds of thousands were reduced to just three or four thousand people… the conclusion of that battle I know, but I also saw it with my own eyes."

"Although the cultivation conditions inside the Monarch's Hall's Life and Death Hall are exceptionally good, but if it is capable of promoting a group of Saint Origin Stage, or at most Eternal Life Stage Initial Stage cultivators to having five Eternal Stage powerhouses within two years of time, I haven't heard about it… As it should be, Young Master Cha just now said that it would take a large amount of high level cultivators to act together, afterwards we pretend it's the doings of five Eternal Stage powerhouses. This theory holds water, but if they had this great amount of high level cultivators two years ago, they had to have had considerable strength, right? Even if it wasn't Undead Stage Peak cultivation level, they had to have had Undead Stage Middle or Initial rank cultivation levels. On this point we old fellows can testify, the Monarch's Hall absolutely didn't have this kind of power, they didn't even have many Eternal Life Stage cultivators! If they had that kind of power, why go so far as to see hundreds of thousands of followers dying in vain?"

Old Man Yun's vision was a bit disappointed and pained as he looked at Cha Yunduan. "Thirdly, from the approach of one's conduct… The Monarch's Hall, Monarch Cha, after all saved everyone's life, including yours and mine…"

"For Young Master Cha to make this kind of guess really is enough to make a person too disappointed." Old Man Guan coldly added a sentence. "If we all approved of Young Master's guess, would Young Master Cha want to decide to send troops to eliminate the Monarch's Hall or not? Just calculating how we would be unable to break through the tree fortress, would we also summon the seven old ancestors, and even Big Mister Cha, asking them to appear personally to handle the Life and Death Hall tree fortress and accomplish the task in one fell swoop?!"

Cha Yunduan discovered that he had poked a hornet's nest.

For almost two years, he had been industrious and conscientious, doing everything he could to make the group prosperous, putting his blood, sweat, and tears into developing the Cha Family's power to be more and more prosperous with each passing day. Even if he was met with a great crisis, he gave the correct response. At long last, though, he was scared without danger arriving.

After the old ancestors involved themselves, the clan experts came forth one after another, standing firm at their heels.

Moreover, within these two years, he had been extremely polite and respectful to these heads of household of the Seven Golden Lotuses. He had constantly maintained the proper respect of the younger generation, to the point of not holding on to the pretense of his status as the Cha Family Young Master…

Under the operations of this kind of anxious running back and forth, the atmosphere of their interactions seemed more and more harmonious, their discussions lacked many misgivings.

But at this moment he had obviously only raised a question on the level of probing, so much so that his basis for this was really trying to consider how the incident came about. He didn't even have too many selfish motives, how did he immediately attract the cold scowls of all the seven big shots?

Why?

How come even when he painstakingly put away his status, lying low and appearing small, did he still remain nothing more compared to Cha-Eun Xiao?

This whole two year's period of time, his exhausting mental and physical efforts, even if it's a chunk of iron, you should also cover the heat, right?

But the topic only had to touch on the Monarch's Hall, touch Cha-Eun Xiao, and to him the seven old men's attitude, expression, tone… everything, in any case, was totally all wrong.

Each and every one of them simply looked just like they wanted to tear his skin off!

What is this regard?

Am I not good as the Cha Family Young Lord?

Cha Yunduan was raging in his heart!

These seven old fogies, what did they want to do in the end?

If I said I was going to meticulously focus on them, you could feel so raw, but what I said clearly was according to reason and without mentioning any kind of follow-up, each and every one of you immediately turned hostile? This way is just extreme, comparable to ingratitude to a benefactor, going berserk, enough to make one's hair stand in anger and pull out the relations?!
