Chapter 1780: Betrayed by All

“You have taken the City of Chaos on your own hands. You were enjoying it. You started to neglect the Seven Golden Lotuses. Because of the truth that you knew about your identity, you were so eager to get rid of the problem.

“It was possible for a man to fight destiny, but not the retribution. You wanted to hide your true identity, so you actually tried to kill the real Young Master Yunduan. That was the last hope of yours that you ruined. Today, because you didn’t want the seven clans to meet the real descendant of the Heaven’s Leaf, you ambushed the seven old masters! Well, that was when you lost your only hope in this city!

“Well, the three organizations knew about your little plan. You wanted to kill the seven old men and frame the Monarch’s Hall, didn’t you? Let me tell you something. Even if the old men died, your plan would only fail earlier. The great ancestors of the seven clans were beyond the Undead Stage. They had lived for over a hundred thousand years! Do you really think your little trick could fool them?

“Oh, there is something you don’t know… The Monarch’s Hall has recruited a super-powerful cultivator. When the Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King came to the city, they were chasing after this man, Chihuo, the Red Fire Lord! The Seven Golden Lotuses and the Seven Colored Lords used to be equally famous in the world. Think about it! Why would the Monarch’s Hall kill the seven old masters? You are the only man who is stupid enough to do such a stupid thing. Oh. We wouldn’t tell you the Red Fire Lord joining the Monarch’s Hall. We are not that friendly to you!

“You have no power, no men, no money, no support from your own clan. You are done in this city. We have done our job now. Tell me. Why should we follow you?

“Do you know why we didn’t kill you? It’s because we don’t want you to die that easily!

“We want to watch you suffer. We want to enjoy hearing your groan. We will enjoy watching you live in shame… Hah hah hah…

“That is the pleasure I would like to share with our forty thousand fallen brothers!

“Do you look forward to it? Well, we do! We would like to see that day come!”

Zhang Yuan laughed.

Ye Yunduan looked so upset. He staggered backward. His eyes became colorless.

He stared at Zhang Yuan and then looked around the others. He didn’t even have the thought of taking revenge.

He was hopeless.

When he saw the Saint Origin Stage cultivators who were still standing on his side, his eyes lit up. He crazily laughed and said, “Absurd! Hah hah hah… Zhang Yuan! Do you think I am a fool? Do you think you can play me around like this? Do you think everything goes as you wish? Hah hah… I still have seventeen brothers here! They are not from the Brotherhood Alliance, or the House of Chaotic Storms, or the Hall of Returning Nature! They are loyal to me!

“These are my true brothers! Do you think you can break me down with stupid lies? You are wrong! I will never surrender! I will never regret! I will rise again!”

He laughed, and actually stood straight up a little.

He was so comforted. In fact, he was satisfied even if he had only one man left who was loyal to him!

‘I am not defeated! I still have my own men!’

Zhang Yuan looked at the seventeen guys and coldly smiled. He said, “That’s true. They are not our people, but I am not sure if they are from the other two organizations. Anyway, it doesn’t mean anything, does it?”

“It does!” Ye Yunduan laughed and said, “It means I…”

“Ahem… Well…” One of the seventeen men coughed and said, “Master Zhang was quite right about the better tree and all… The Great Ye Army is done. I am leaving…”

Ye Yunduan was surprised. “Wang Liu, what are you doing?”

“I am off too.”

“That’s right. An honorable man does not stand under a falling wall. I am not even an honorable man. Farewell.”

“Come on. Let’s just go before it is too late!”

Wang Liu was the first, and fifteen more followed.

Wang Liu was dragged by Ye Yunduan because he was the first to go.

“Why? Tell me why!” Ye Yunduan was almost mad. He stared at Wang Liu and said, “Why? You are not from the Hall of Returning Nature or the House of Chaotic Storms. You are not one of the Brotherhood Alliance people. Why are you leaving? Why?”

Wang Liu felt awkward. “Master Ye, I am not from the Hall of Returning Nature, or the House of Chaotic Storms, or the Brotherhood Alliance… I am an itinerant cultivator.”

“Then why? Why are you leaving?” Ye Yunduan was confused.

“I don’t belong to any other forces, but I was never here with my heart. As Master Zhang said, I came here for the great name of the Heaven’s Leaf. I wanted to earn a bright future for myself.

“If you are generous, wise, brave, and competent, I may devote myself willingly to you.

“However, as a matter of fact…

“A man in the martial world should be honorable and honest, but I have to be honorable and honest to a man who is great.

“Master Ye, you are not great.

“You had a great start. Your background, your power, your support, you had everything. What have you done though? You have been fooling around. How could I give my soul to a man like you?”

Wang Liu said, “To be honest, you are at the end of your path. You are lost. I… I don’t want to die with you.”

“It doesn’t have to be difficult.” Wang Liu held his hands before his chest and respectfully said, “I didn’t choose to hide beside you. I could take you down and give you to your enemy for a reward, but I didn’t want to do that. Take it as a payback. The world is big… We will… We might meet again.”

After that, he left.
