Chapter 1128: One Step to Paradise!

One Step to Paradise! . . .

"Chief Cha, congratulations! What a wonderful day today! They are honored and lucky to witness such a historical moment. They feel proud!"

"That\'s right, Chief Cha. From now on, Li Clan will humbly follow Cha Clan\'s lead! They will disobey no order from Cha Clan!"

"Aye! Ma Clan too!"

"Huang Clan too…"

"I humbly wish that the honorable chief of Cha Clan will show generosity to us…"

"They all depend on Chief Cha now…"

When these individuals realized what was happening, they hurriedly showed loyalty to Cha Nantian. They thought that if they didn\'t do it and Cha Clan decided to take revenge on what happened in the old days… their clans might be wiped out by Cha Clan…

After one day, if Cha Clan showed dissatisfaction to a clan, Cha Clan wouldn\'t need to do it, nor would the three dominant sects. Many other clans who wanted to relate to Cha Clan would wipe out that clan to earn a favorable impression!

They knew that they should seize the moment to fawn on Cha Clan! Once they lost the chance, it wouldn\'t come back!

None of them wanted to spend the rest of their lives in regret!

Cha Nantian might not become equally convincing as the prime masters of the great sects, but he was not much weaker than them. It would be more difficult than climbing the clouds for the other chiefs to see Cha Nantian in the future!

Cha Nantian coped with this bunch of people as if he was in a dream. Finally, all was done, and he returned to the house.

Indeed, nobody dared to stop him. They just smiled and watched the Cha Clan people got back into their house, and the door of Cha Clan\'s house closed slowly behind them. The other chiefs didn\'t even dare to go in that door to have some tea.

[Cha Clan\'s tea is no longer something they can have as they wish!]

One could be ignorant of many things in the martial world but should never ignore the absolute power!

It was no longer a place these people could go in and out freely!

After the door was closed, the chiefs hurriedly returned to their residence fast like their asses were on fire. They gave an order as soon as they arrived, \'From now on, everybody should be cautious and respectful to Cha Clan people!\'

\'Everybody should treat Cha Clan people, including their servants and maids, in the highest profile as if they are their ancestors! Do not expect you can please Cha Clan, but just do not offend them! If any of you recklessly offend Cha Clan people… not only you will die, but also the entire clan… They will all die because of you… Remember the iron rule now…\'

After the rules were made, the entire Town of Cha fell into absolute silence. There were no more useless voices.

Those clans had been in equivalent positions as Cha Clan, even higher position than Cha Clan a few days earlier. Their people had been laughing loudly, talking freely in the Town of Cha. However, when they walked over Cha Clan\'s door now, their faces turned pale, and they walked sneakily like they were walking by the gate to hell!

When they were passing by the door, they sweated.

"Stay low!"

"Stay respectful!"

"Stay…"

…

When Cha Nantian walked back to his home, he felt like his head was stricken by eighteen thousand thunderbolts. His head was muddled, his eyes were dazzled, and it felt like the entire galaxy was shining in his sight!

He was stepping firmly on the floor, but he felt like he was stepping on clouds. It was soft and weak. He felt dizzy. He felt it was unreal.

Everything felt like a dream to him!

He looked around at the people who were following him. Li Yunxuan, a disciple of Misty Cloud Palace, also had a pale face, appearing soulless. It was clear she didn\'t know what she was doing.

The other Cha Clan people were in even worse condition.

Everyone was staggering as if they were sleepwalking. Some of them kept their mouths and eyes wide open, their eyeballs almost popping out. Some who were below the sixth level of the Dream Origin Stage actually fell forward and hit the floor as soon as they stepped through the door. Their faces made direct contact with the floor, resulting in bloodstains.

Despite the bleeding, they appeared numb, as if they couldn\'t feel the pain.

Cha Nantian had been a seasoned warrior, having fought in numerous battles. He didn\'t hesitate and immediately pinched his own leg to feel the pain, which jolted him back to consciousness.

"This is not a dream!" he shouted loudly. His voice resonated up to the sky, shattering the clouds.

Everyone, regardless of their status, awoke from their stupor upon hearing the shout. It was as if a lightning bolt had struck their heads.

They were now fully conscious.

"It\'s not a dream!"

"This is reality!"

"We, Cha Clan, are destined for greatness! We will become a dominant force in the district!"

No one spoke, but their eyes shimmered with hope.

Many of them stood motionless, wearing broad smiles. Tears welled up in the corners of their eyes and finally spilled over. Some individuals knelt on the floor, covering their faces and letting the tears flow through their fingers.

No one truly knew the hardships these three groups of Cha Clan members had endured in recent years.

Within the clan, they had suffered under the oppression of Cha Shuxin and the three groups under his command. Outside the clan, they had endured the suppression from other clans and the domineering force of Qiong-Hua Palace, one of the most powerful sects in the Qing-Yun Realm. Their lives had been a constant struggle for survival.

Day after day, they had endured these hardships.

Outside the clan, they didn\'t even dare to stand upright.

They never knew if Qiong-Hua Palace might decide to wipe out the entire Cha Clan over a bad mood.

They couldn\'t afford to provoke the dominant forces, nor could they recklessly respond to the taunts of other clans. One misstep would result in facing both external forces and internal clan punishments. The opponents within the clan would seize any opportunity to penalize them.

Infighting had always been a significant issue.

The people from the three groups who supported Cha Nantian against Cha Shuxin and his followers had chosen their side, even if it meant risking their lives.

They had endured enough of a miserable existence.

They would rather die fighting against evil than live in disgrace.

But they never expected that things would take such a promising and enchanting turn on their side.

What was happening now wasn\'t merely promising and enchanting; it felt like a leap toward paradise in a single step.
