Chapter 905: Grey Wolf Fought For You!

Grey Wolf Fought For You! . . .

Erhuo had been residing within the Boundless Space, observing the unfolding conversation between Cha Eun Xiao and Shangguan Zhuifeng. [What\'s wrong with being called a wretched egg? It\'s a term of endearment, you know? We all start as eggs, after all. A wretched egg is a rather beautiful compliment! You, my dear fool, just don\'t understand!]

Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback by Shangguan Zhuifeng\'s words and actions, yet he couldn\'t help but feel a warm sense of camaraderie. [There are brothers who grieve for Brother Li, and there are also brothers who grieve for me!]

The Grey Wolf, known as Cang Gulang, was the leader of the Grey Wolves Group. Raised by wolves and without parents, he had the feral spirit of a wild creature. When he encountered an exceptional individual in his youth who introduced him to the world of humans, he didn\'t forget his upbringing among wolves. Hence, he chose the name Cang Gulang for himself.

In his early days in the martial world, he was akin to a wild wolf, engaging in brawls wherever he went. He was strong and audacious, which quickly attracted like-minded individuals, leading to the establishment of a formidable force in the realm. However, his recklessness eventually provoked a powerful sect that became his adversary. Despite their courage, Cang Gulang\'s group was vastly outnumbered and couldn\'t overcome the sect.

One fateful day, they found themselves surrounded and on the brink of annihilation. It was at that moment Cha Eun Xiao crossed their path. He had been traveling alone and didn\'t intend to interfere, but upon seeing Cang Gulang, he felt an inexplicable kinship with the wild-spirited man and chose to intervene, saving his life.

Cang Gulang greatly admired Cha Eun Xiao for his immense power and deeply appreciated the assistance he had provided. Thus, he became an unwavering supporter of Xiao Monarch, strengthening his allegiance over time. As the Grey Wolves Group expanded in both strength and influence, Cang Gulang himself grew in power, making the group a significant entity in the Qing-Yun Realm.

Upon the death of Xiao Monarch, Cang Gulang wept bitterly and swore to avenge his fallen comrade. This determination to seek retribution led to clashes with the three factions. After enduring intense battles, the Grey Wolves Group chose to go underground, vanishing from the public eye while patiently waiting for an opportune moment to strike back.

In time, they reached out to the Black Cavalry Alliance. Had Shangguan Zhuifeng not suffered a stroke, and had Shangguan Tie not been on the brink of death, the two forces might have formed a lasting alliance, united against the common enemy—the three factions.

Cha Eun Xiao became lost in his thoughts, unaware that even after his demise, there were comrades who toiled diligently to avenge him. They resisted the oppression and aggression of the three factions, never giving in to their demands.

"Not only Cang Gulang, but also Han Bingxue, the Desolate Sword, remained steadfast," Cha Eun Xiao was informed. "When he learned of Brother Ye\'s demise, he lost consciousness for a brief period. When he regained his senses, he shattered a sword as a solemn oath. He swore to exact vengeance upon every member of the three factions. Han Bingxue vanished from the world, much like a solitary wanderer."

Moreover, a shadowy assassin emerged, randomly targeting individuals within the territories of the three factions. This enigmatic killer remained elusive, with no one ever glimpsing their face. Lately, this assassin was spotted within the domain of Saint Sunlight Sect, single-handedly slaying over a hundred sect members with a single stroke. Cha Eun Xiao deduced that the assassin was highly likely Han Bingxue.

Upon hearing the name, a heavy sigh escaped Cha Eun Xiao\'s lips. His sigh carried a mixture of emotions, sparking Shangguan Zhuifeng\'s curiosity. The Chief observed Cha Eun Xiao\'s face, his heart touched by the unspoken sentiments concealed within that sigh.

Cha Eun Xiao displayed an aura of serene tranquility, tinged with a profound longing. There was an air of detachment about him, something akin to the regal indifference one might expect from a monarch.

Shangguan Zhuifeng couldn\'t help but sense a unique vigor emanating from the young man, a vibe that seemed to proclaim, "I am the peerless ruler of the world, and I stand above all the heroes of history." It sent shivers down Shangguan Zhuifeng\'s spine.

After taking a deep breath to regain his composure, Shangguan Zhuifeng continued speaking with caution. "Besides..."

"And in addition..."

Shangguan Zhuifeng went on at length, recounting how Cha Eun Xiao listened patiently. He spoke of Fierce Blade and Xiao Monarch, the two legends who were believed to be solitary cultivators by the three factions. In reality, these two formidable individuals had traversed the world, assisting countless people and amassing loyal friends and allies.

"These great brothers were kind and generous, and their close comrades were all elites," Shangguan Zhuifeng explained. "But, much like the departed brothers, they too preferred a solitary path. They were all unruly individuals. In a group, they wouldn\'t respect each other\'s leadership, making it difficult for them to work together. But if one of the honorable brothers were still alive, either of them could lead this formidable group and bring the three factions to their knees."

Shangguan Zhuifeng concluded with a solemn promise. "Regardless of the circumstances, should they declare war on the three factions, Black Cavalry Alliance will serve as the vanguard."

It was a pledge made with unwavering determination.

Cha Eun Xiao responded calmly, "No heedless actions."

As the Chief of the Black Cavalry Alliance, Shangguan Zhuifeng possessed vast experience. However, his perspective was limited, preventing him from accurately gauging the true power of the great sects. Even Cha Eun Xiao, who had previously been unaware, came to understand the existence of higher levels beyond the peak of Dao Origin Stage after visiting the Cold Moon Palace. The three old men there had cultivated phases beyond anyone else\'s reach, a testament to the formidable strength of great sects. The reality was that the combined forces Shangguan Zhuifeng envisioned as potential allies were insufficient to confront even one of the three factions. It was indeed a disheartening revelation.

Shangguan Zhuifeng acknowledged Cha Eun Xiao\'s caution, and then a smile crossed his lips. "About Guan Lingxiao, he truly cares for Black Cavalry Alliance. He has always wished to join our ranks, and I believe it\'s time to welcome him. He may be outspoken and a bit simple-minded, but he possesses a unique capability and a genuine heart, which is a valuable asset."

Cha Eun Xiao was taken by surprise at this decision, not expecting Guan Lingxiao to become a member of Black Cavalry Alliance.
