"So... what happened in the end?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Well, according to the records of previous Clan Leaders, wars happen roughly every ten years!" Haozi chuckled and looked at Ye Chen before saying, "But each ti, the Luo Sijue family wins. As long as they win, the opponents have to recuperate for about ten years!"
"What if the Luo Sijue family loses?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Impossible!" Haozi waved his hand urgently, saying, "If the Luo Sijue family lost, there wouldn’t be one now."
"Hmm, makes sense!" Ye Chen nodded, and said, "Considering the patience for revenge of the Bright Organization, they definitely wouldn’t easily let the Luo Sijue family off!"
"Brother Chen, what should we do?" Haozi asked urgently.
"Gamble on it, when was the last war?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Nine years ago!" Haozi flipped through the records and suddenly shouted in surprise. Ye Chen was also very shocked, because how co he wasn’t at all aware of the battle nine years ago? Little did he know, battles take various forms. Back then, Ye Chen hadn’t been chosen as the heir to the Clan Leader yet. Ye Chen imdiately cald down, took a deep breath, and said, "Looks like we need to make perfect preparations!"
"Big brother, our combat power isn’t strong this ti!" Haozi looked seriously at Ye Chen and said, "You’ve diverted the Luo Sijue family’s funds, making the army’s training sluggish in recent years, and reducing military expenses. So if a real fight breaks out, with our current strength, we might not be the opponents!"
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Chen smirked and laughed, "Without that skill, would I dare take on that task?"
"Brother Chen, do you have a secret weapon?" Haozi asked eagerly.
"Go, I’m not telling you yet!" Ye Chen revealed a mysterious smile, since it’s a secret weapon after all. The fewer people know about it, the better. Bai He has infiltrated the Bright Organization on my behalf. Ye Chen believes with Bai He’s cooperation, they should be able to defeat the opponent in one go.
Of course, not telling Haozi isn’t because Ye Chen doesn’t trust him, but because such matters are best known by fewer people.
Ye Chen’s mystery left Haozi sowhat dissatisfied, though he didn’t show it. As an excellent steward, he knows what he should understand and what he shouldn’t.
Ye Chen said to Haozi, "Haozi, I’ll divert funds back from Sunset City soon, you should prepare actively for the battle."
"Yes, big brother!" Haozi imdiately nodded. With money, things are easier to handle. Money isn’t everything, but without it, things can’t get done. The Luo Sijue family’s army of thousands certainly can’t function without funds. Ye Chen had practically emptied the Luo Sijue family’s treasury recently. All this money was used to build Sunset City, reducing military expenses and consequently affecting the normal training plans of the army.
Though the final battle is only a year away, Haozi believes as long as military funding is sufficient, they can definitely defeat the Bright Organization and win the final victory in the last year.
After gathering information, Ye Chen imdiately called Feng Zhixiao, asking him to transfer ninety percent of funds from Sunset City’s treasury to the Luo Sijue family’s account. This amounted to over a hundred billion. With these funds for the Luo Sijue family’s army, Ye Chen believes it will be sufficient.
After handling this, Ye Chen entered the Ancient Lava Cave, a magical world. With prior experience, this ti Ye Chen entered the Ninth Floor of the Ancient Lava Cave quite smoothly. It’s unclear why this is already Ye Chen’s third ti entering the Ninth Floor world, yet each ti is different. The first ti it was a Paradise, the second ti a Hell, and this ti it’s extrely silent, reminiscent of the Northwest desert.
Ye Chen looked at the desolate world, showing a hint of confusion. Finding that white-haired old man here might be quite difficult of course. Ye Chen wouldn’t be deterred by such difficulties and started searching around. In the Ancient Lava Cave, he searched for nearly three days and nights. Ye Chen still had no leads. There is no day and night in this world, no sun to guide direction...
So, Ye Chen kept wandering in circles, puzzledly looking at his surroundings, then shouted, "Old man, you must know I’m here, hurry out! You can’t greet guests like this!"
Ye Chen shouted loudly, but his voice just echoed around. After shouting more than ten tis, a voice ca from the sky: "Ye Chen, what are you yelling for? Don’t you know this old man is resting?"
"Old man, hurry out, I need to talk to you!" Ye Chen showed an expression of surprise, unexpected the old man actually ca out.
After a while, a multicolored auspicious cloud floated down from the sky, with the white-haired old man riding it down, yawning and saying, "What is it? I’ve just slept less than a year and you’re disturbing my sweet dreams. Believe it or not, I’ll give you a beating!"
"Uh..." Ye Chen exclaid in surprise, saying, "You... you said what? You said you’ve slept less than a year?"
"Yes, I usually sleep for more than ten years. This ti you kid woke up!" The old man looked at Ye Chen and said unhappily, "So, what do you want? If it’s not sothing important, then prepare for a beating!"
"Old man, I’m about to die!" Ye Chen shouted anxiously, "If you don’t co out soon, I’m gonna be killed!"
"Damn, why does your death concern ?" The white-haired old man ca down from mid-air and replied unhappily, "You’re not related to , why should I care about your life?"
"Co on, you dead old man, aren’t we close despite the age gap?" Ye Chen glared at the white-haired old man angrily, "If I die, you’ll be stuck here alone forever. After a hundred years, without anyone to bury you, won’t you find it sad?"
"You brat, this old man already attained an immortal body that doesn’t die or decay for thousands of years!" The white-haired old man glared at Ye Chen and said, "Moreover, you youngster lack respect for age, being so impudent. See if this old man won’t teach you a lesson!"
"No need for you to act, I’ll soon be killed anyway!" Ye Chen glanced at him and said, "I’m gonna die anyway, you can beat a few more tis!"
"Haha..." The old man laughed heartily and said, "You just want to help you, don’t you?"
"Yes, yes!" Ye Chen nodded imdiately and said, "Can you bear to see get played to death?"
"Honestly, I can’t interfere in your world!" The white-haired old man sighed.
"Damn, then aren’t you letting just wait to die?" Ye Chen said helplessly.
"Indeed, if I don’t help you, no one can!" The white-haired old man looked at Ye Chen helplessly and said, "That woman’s power is very strong. If you face her in battle, there’s only one word for the outco!"
"What word?" Ye Chen asked quizzically.
"Death!" The white-haired old man stroked his beard.
"Doesn’t make sense!" Ye Chen froze. He grabbed the white-haired old man’s arm and asked, "The Bright Organization is formidable, but isn’t their creator Ilosona already dead?"
"She’s not dead!" The old man shook his head, "Who told you she’s dead?"
"Damn, no way, after hundreds of years she’s still alive?" Ye Chen was instantly stunned.
"Hehe, why would she die?" The old man chuckled, stroking his beard, and said, "Haven’t you noticed sothing?"
"What thing?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"You haven’t noticed that no matter how long you stay here, when you return, not much ti has passed?" The old man chuckled and looked at Ye Chen. Ye Chen suddenly rembered this issue and shouted in surprise, "Yeah, I noticed this. So... oh, dear, do you an Ilosona can enter this world too?"
"Exactly!" The old man nodded, "She’s a very smart girl. Each ti she enters here to train, after hundreds of years, her strength is already very potent. With your re power, you’re not even a dish for her!"
"Damn, no way?" Ye Chen was instantly dumbfounded. He looked at the old man gloomily and said, "Old man, you should definitely help . She’s a demon of hundreds of years, if she targets , wouldn’t it be simple?"
"Indeed!" The old man nodded, "So, if she wants to deal with you, it’s even simpler than killing a chicken."
"This isn’t fair!" Ye Chen imdiately cried out bitterly, angrily saying, "Why is there and also her in this world? Even if there’s her, why give her a cheat? How am I supposed to play?"
Only then did Ye Chen understand why the Old Madam was willing to be under Bright Organization’s control, feelings were backed by Ilosona. Ye Chen felt quite helpless, sighed, and said, "Seems like I can only wait for death now."
"That’s not necessarily!" The old man grinned widely and said, "Aren’t I still here?"
"You’re useless!" Ye Chen snapped back.
