Chapter 1566: Something Went Wrong
Something Went Wrong . . .
"You have a good plan, Young Master. That is good. However, we need to think carefully about how to encroach the other forces. You mentioned the ten forces in the Limitless Ocean. That's good. But the ten forces are not as simple as you think… If we make one careless mistake, we may lose everything… Master, please give it a second thought."
Master Yun said to Cha Yunduan.
"The ten most powerful forces all have strong backgrounds. Nobody knows how powerful they are. It is not easy for us to take over the City of Chaos. If you are talking about destroying the ten forces one by one… that is not possible. Please, Young Master… We must be careful." Master Qin said.
Master Guan was frank. "We don't even have a name. Come on. We are talking about fighting against the entire Limitless Ocean. Do you know the ten forces? How much do you know? Are you sure we are powerful enough to take them down? Are you sure we are not asking for death?"
Cha Yunduan's face turned dark.
He was angry. 'If our clan didn't help you, do you think your clans would have the power to rise? You would have been destroyed. Look at you. When I need you to return the favor, you are trying to get away. Why hesitate? Why fear? Why don't you think about the one hundred thousand years when you are ruling the entire city? Now you don't dare to mess with anybody? Come on. You just don't want to put your clans at risk!'
'There won't be a success if there is no sacrifice!'
'You are a group of cowardly old men! You are hindering me. You are standing in my way to the great future…'
"Even though we must expand our force, we must do it steadily. We must do it step by step. First of all, we must build a strong foundation before messing with powerful forces… We just started this. We can't be reckless…" Master Yue spoke too.
"I have spent a lot of time thinking about this plan. I am not making any reckless moves. The seven clans have stayed and developed in the City of Chaos for one hundred thousand years. What I want to do is just a small step… Besides, our enemies don't know we are coming. I can't believe you are afraid. Isn't it…" Cha Yunduan frowned. He didn't finish what he was saying, but his point was clear.
'You have stayed in the City of Chaos and developed for one hundred thousand years. You must have accumulated something!'
'One hundred thousand years! That means something!'
'Even if you just lived pointlessly in the city for one hundred thousand years, you are native residents in the City of Chaos! You ruled the city! You can surely bring me a successful fight!'
'If you can't take over the City of Chaos, why did you give it up? You stirred up chaos. You let those forces in. You made the trouble! You should be responsible for it, shouldn't you?'
The seven old masters were experienced in the martial world. They knew what Cha Yunduan meant, so they stayed silent.
'Yes, we have developed for one hundred thousand years. Why do you want us to ruin our clans after all the efforts we put in such a long time?'
'The City of Chaos returns to chaos because the Great Master Cha told us to do so before he vanished!'
'If the Great Master Cha showed up and told us to do as you said, we would die following his orders… You, Cha Yunduan… you are not qualified!'
'You are just a kid who represents the Great Cha Clan. Who do you think you are? Why should we risk everything we have to fight for your stupid plan?'
'Perhaps it is possible that we can take over the City of Chaos even the entire Limitless Ocean in a short time. It may create an epic of you, Cha Yunduan. What's next? The horrible power behind the ten forces will definitely fight back. The seven clans will have to face that, not you! The seven clans are powerful, but we are definitely not powerful enough to fight the five sky kings!'
'You can hide behind your clan, the Great Cha Clan. What about us? What should we do?'
'This is a joke! You can't even joke like this!'
"Young Master, there is something you do not know… Before the Great Master Cha left the martial world, he told the Seven Golden Lotuses to do this… After one hundred thousand years, when the descendant of the Great Cha Clan returns to the martial world, the seven clans will support him…" Master Qin said.
Cha Yunduan said, "Yes! I know! That is what I want you to do. I am taking back the City of Chaos and rule the Limitless Ocean. This is my plan. I need your full support, all the seven clans! With your power, I can definitely take back the glory of this city…"
Master Guan moved his legs aside and rolled up his eyes.
'Master Qin has said it clearly. Why is this young man so stupid? Why can't he understand what we mean? If Cha-Eun Xiao were here, he would have known what we wanted to say before we actually said it.'
And then he made a long sigh.
Cha-Eun Xiao had been fighting on his own. No matter what happened, he always asked himself to improve. Master Guan wanted his clan to follow Cha-Eun Xiao, to join the Monarch's Hall because he liked Cha-Eun Xiao and he knew it was the right choice to follow a good man like that!
Cha Yunduan was talking big, but he was actually asking the seven clans to do all the work for him.
He had never thought about recruiting his own people and having his own force.
The two young men were totally different. One was the best, while the other was not.
Master Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I mean… The seven clans will support you. We will… However, it is always your decision to make, and your battle to fight… You have to think about improving yourself, on your power or schemes…"
Master Qin felt extremely difficult to speak it out that frankly.
Cha Yunduan finally understood, so his face turned dark.
"What did you say? Do you mean… I am not good enough? Am I too weak to do this? Are you looking down on me? Do you mean I am not good enough to get your full support? Is that so?"
The seven old masters were silent again.
'Is this man truly the descendant of the Great Cha Clan?'
'Listen to him! Isn't he a f*cking idiot?'
'How dare him?'
'I am not going to judge his power. But… Look at him. He only has four guards! Does he feel good about it?'
'What is wrong with you? Do you think those ten forces are all as weak as the Monarch's Hall? Do you think you can sweep them down with a few Saint Origin Stage cultivators?'
"This is truly not a good time to start a war against the ten forces at the same time. We must improve. We must build a strong foundation first. You must give us room to either move forward or step back…" Master Yun said.
"Well, fine! We should recruit more men. Let's buy some soldiers. Let's get our foundation, and then we will fight our enemies." Cha Yunduan took a strong breath and accepted Master Yun's suggestion.
What he wanted was just as Master Qin said. He wanted the seven clans to gather together and fight all the way to the city.
The ten most powerful forces in the Limitless Ocean were from other places. They had no power to fight against the seven clans that had developed in the City of Chaos for one hundred thousand years. Cha Yunduan never wanted to recruit any more men because he wanted the men of the seven clans to do all the work!
However, now he knew that the seven clans were going to give him their men's lives… They even brought up the name of the Great Ancestor of the Great Cha Clan…
'I… I am going to tell the ancestors that the Seven Golden Lotuses are not as loyal as they were anymore.'
The seven old masters were having the same thought. 'Why is this young man… totally a different person from our expectations? He actually wants us to die for him…'
'The Great Ancestor said differently though.'
'We just help him… That is all. We will make our own decision on how much we will do… First of all, we need to make sure this young man is good enough for our trust… If he is powerful and capable enough, we will do whatever he asks. If not, why should we?'
'This is a big problem. We must figure it out!'
'The Seven Golden Lotuses serve the Great Master Cha, Cha Hongchen.'
'We follow the Great Master Cha but only Great Master Cha. We are not servants of the Great Cha Clan.'
'The Great Cha Clan has returned, and it all depends on this young man to bring back the glory of the clan.'
"We have some men that you recruited from the Monarch's Hall, Master. They are ours." A guard of Cha Yunduan said.
Cha Yunduan frowned and nodded. The seven old masters clearly saw the indifference and sneer in the young man's eyes.
It certainly gave the young lord an even worse image!
Cha Yunduan had taken over one hundred men from the Monarch's Hall. They might be weak, but they weren't useless. The weakest one was at level three of the Dark Evil Spirit. That was more or less a superior cultivator in the martial world. When Cha Yunduan met the Dark Evil Spirit, the Dark Evil Spirit was only at level two of the Divinity Origin Stage!
No matter how disloyal those men could be, they were useful. After all, Cha Yunduan had given them something to get them to join him. If he looked down upon those people, they would never trust him anymore!
It was not a wise move to neglect those men, was it?
Cha Yunduan paused and then stood up. He then said to everybody, "I am new to the martial world. My views are limited. Please, I am counting on you, masters… I am young and I am ignorant. Please teach me anything I should know."
After that, he bowed.
He thought that should show his humbleness, and the seven old masters should feel flattered.
However, the seven old men frowned at the same time.
'What is wrong with this kid? What did he mean? Is he really counting on us now? What did we just say to him? Did he not listen?'
'How is this possible…'
After that, they started to discuss having a name for the organization. They talked and talked; eventually, they chose a name, the Great Cha Army. The seven clans would give the Great Cha Army fourteen thousand men as the first reliable force in the organization.
Each clan gave him two thousand men. The seven clans couldn't give him more.
"Masters, when the four of you joined the fake, you have already given him over ten thousand men. I am the true descendant, and you are giving me this number? Shouldn't it be much more?" Cha Yunduan said, and it hurt the old men.
'Come on… Cha-Eun Xiao got our support because he deserved it. He earned every single man from us. We saw the future, and we knew it was promising…'
'What have you shown us, anyway?'
'We have seen your arrogance, your ignorance, and your mediocrity!'
"I will let my guards train your men for some days. They will be fine soon. Old masters, please do your best to help." Cha Yunduan made a conclusion.
Master Guan was always candid. His name was Guan Tiemian, an iron face. Cha Yunduan wanted him to take charge of the penalty system. The other masters had their own jobs too.
When the old master left the room, they all felt upset and troubled.
"Brothers, what do you think? I have a weird feeling… The young man is trying to be humble. I can see that… But… I feel like he is treating us as his servants or slaves. What do you think?" Mater Yue usually didn't talk much. However, he was the first to speak at the moment.
"This is how it is… Let's just see how it goes." Master Song seemed worried. "I think the Great Cha Clan should be better than this… I don't think they would send this guy out to represent the Great Cha Clan… We…"
Master Guan seemed casual. "So what? I don't care. I will do what I am good at. I follow the rules and make sentences… Hah hah…"
'Why is this old thing so happy?' The other six old men were surprised.
Master Guan and Cha-Eun Xiao used to be close to each other. Everybody knew that. He should be the most frustrated one… Why was he so happy?
The six old men had lived a long life. They all realized one thing. 'Something went wrong…'
…
Cha Yunduan didn't see Fang San coming back. He had waited the entire morning. There was no message about the destruction of the Monarch's Hall!
"Is Fang San back?"
"No."
When he asked for the third time and got a negative answer, he knew something went wrong.
