Realms In The Firmament

“It may sound discomforting, but it is only worse. Saint Starlight Sect has done a lot of things. In the hundreds of thousands of years in the history, countless individual cultivators died because of Saint Starlight Sect’s authority!”

Shen Chongshan blandly smiled and said, “Xiao Monarch, Fierce Blade, am I right? I am not making it up, am I?”

Ye Xiao was silent for a while and then answered blandly, “It is true!”

It was.

Shen Chongshan was telling the truth of the martial world in Qing-Yun Realm.

It wasn’t pleasant, but it was the reality!

The reality was cruel. People didn’t want to accept it, but the world wouldn’t care if anybody accepted it.

Who won became king, while the losers were sinners!

The bigger fists brought the bigger authority. It wasn’t just the rule in the hundreds of thousands of years in history. It wasn’t the rule that only Saint Starlight Sect followed. Everybody followed this rule!

Some people wanted to be a hero, to hold justice, to fight for the innocent, but most of them ended up following the rule of the martial world, and the rest of them died!

The three factions, the two great halls, the three palaces, they were all the same. Nobody, not any one forces in the world could live outside the rule. When Qiong-Hua Palace separated Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue, they got the bigger fists. If Ye Nantian had reached the top of Dao Origin Stage when everything began, Qiong-Hua Palace would be happy to let their Saintess marry him. None of the tragedies afterward would happen!

If Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang had been as dominant as they were now, the three factions would never dare to mess with them! They would flee from them!

Ye Xiao couldn’t deny it!

“I think I just said it. I want to know what you want now, not the great truth of the world! What do you want to tell us? Speak it out already!” Li Wuliang frowned and scolded.

“The past is still living in my head. No words can describe all. No matter how regretful we are, what we did is done. We can’t undo the history.”

Shen Chongshan bitterly smiled and said, “I thought maybe if I tried to convince you with a great speech, this can be ended with peace… However, I knew it was impossible. It is only a good dream of mine which would never come true.

“Even if you let us go today, we won’t live in peace anymore… We won’t trust you… You will still be the knife on our necks. Something else will happen for sure.

“Now that you are here, two supreme cultivators, we know what is going to happen to us. We do.”

He smiled bitterly again, “As long as the fight begins, Saint Starlight Sect will become only a name in history, just like Saint Sunlight Sect. We will be the villain in history.

“A great sect ignobly killed two heroes but ended up killed by the two heroes who returned from death.

“What a weak and stupid great sect we are.

“Nobody will remember the glory of Saint Sunlight Sect. Nobody will remember the hundreds of thousands of years history of this great sect. Nobody will remember the heroes of the world who came from our sect…

“Nobody will remember why we became enemy to the two heroes.

“In the end, nobody will remember our name.

“We will become something lost in time.” Shen Chongshan raised up his head and stared at the people opposing him, “How many people died forever in history?”

Nobody answered.

He was right. Qing-Yun Realm had a long history.

Many people, sects, and clans just died in the history…

People wouldn’t know anything about them. They became some mysterious names, a few words in the book of history…

Only a few words.

“We won’t ask for your forgiveness, Xiao Monarch and Fierce Blade… We were wrong. An apology is pointless. If I were you, I wouldn’t let this go, either… Otherwise, Qing-Yun Realm won’t be Qing-Yun Realm.

“If peace is this easy to gain, there won’t be a martial world in the world.

“We pay for what we did!

“It is the rule of the world!”

Shen Chongshan sincerely said, “Now, I represent our sect, to do something that may ease your hate…”

Ye Xiao smiled and coldly said, “Do something? I wonder what it is!”

Shen Chongshan took a long breath. When he looked at Ye Xiao, his eyes were full of determination and fierceness. He sighed and made up his mind.

He lowered his head. His hairs were all white. The next moment, he suddenly raised up his head and stepped forward, talking to his people, “Disciples of Saint Starlight Sect, listen up!”

All the disciples stood straight and raised their heads, staring at Shen Chongshan.

“Whoever joined the battle against Li Wuliang, step forward!”

Another great elder and two elders took a deep breath and stepped forward with the others.

It was a heavy step to make.

Over one thousand people had stepped out slowly after the elders.

They were hesitating, angry, ashamed…

However, they all stepped out.

Their faces were all pale.

Apparently, they all knew what it meant to step out. They had to do it because it was an order!

Shen Chongshan looked at the men who stepped out, and he started shaking. He almost passed out when he saw them. After a while, he stepped firmly on the floor and turned around slowly, staring at Li Wuliang, speaking in a low voice, “Fierce Blade, please have a look. Are they all guilty? Do you see anybody who should step out but didn’t?”

Li Wuliang was confused. He looked at Shen Chongshan and said, “What do you think you are doing? What’s the point?”

…
