Realms In The Firmament

“Master, what are you talking about…” Ye Xiao bowed and said, “We are a family… Nobody owes nobody… Come. Let me introduce the others… This is Li Wuliang, the Fierce Blade.”

The three old men surely couldn’t be casual and impolite like they were to Ye Xiao. The three of them seriously stood straight and bowed deeply to Li Wuliang. Lei Dadi said, “Fierce Blade, what happened in the past is our fault. We apologize!”

Li Wuliang grinned, hurriedly moved aside, and spoke in a deep voice, “It was just like yesterday. In that unforgettable battle, I was surrounded by the three factions. However, only disciples of the Cold Moon Palace didn’t truly hurt me. My good friends were killed by the Saint Starlight Sect. I didn’t die after all. Let’s just forget about it and move on.”

Lei Dadi solemnly said, “Fierce Blade is kind and generous. One hundred thousand disciples of Cold Moon Palace appreciate your kindness!”

Li Wuliang was a bit flurried. He knew the relationship between Ye Xiao and the three old men, so he hurriedly soothed the three elders and eventually had them sit down.

The Moon Queen was shocked by what just happened!

She stared at Ye Xiao with her eyes like two spotlights.

Her heart was waving up in shock.

[Brother Zhan? Masters?]

[What is this? Why does Xiao Monarch call Lei Dadi and the other two old men masters?]

[The three old men’s disciple is the son of Yue Gongxue and Ye Nantian, Ye Xiao, also known as Ye Chongxiao. Am I right?]

[Why… How come it becomes Xiao Monarch now?]

[Wait…]

She felt muddleheaded. For a moment, she almost got lost in dizziness, and she moaned in a low voice.

In fact, when the three old men got the message from Zhan Yunfei and got to know the truth about Ye Xiao, they were all confused and shocked. After recollecting the memory of staying with Ye Xiao, they all felt relieved. They were three experienced old cultivators who could tell what was true and what was false. They knew Ye Xiao wasn’t pretending. No matter if he was Ye Xiao, Ye Chongxiao, or Xiao Monarch, he was still their disciple.

Nothing else mattered!

In fact, on the way to join Ye Xiao, the three elders were still disturbed. However, when they saw Ye Xiao and felt the respect from the good disciple, they were relieved. In the three old men’s eyes, this man was still the young man, the disciple they valued so much.

[If he wants to take revenge… we three are ready to give him our heads.]

[Not a big deal…]

When they saw Ye Xiao sitting on the main chair, the three of them all felt consoled.

[Hmm… Cold Moon Palace finally had a disciple who is capable enough to be a leader of the world…]

[It is our glory. Our honor.]

[The grudge from the past is gone at the same time…]

[A double blessing has descended upon the sect!]

They felt like their lives were fulfilled. They were enjoying the prime of their lives. There was nothing they were longing for…

…

Everybody arrived. The large camp was finally filled.

The eighteen people who represented the nine groups were the weakest, while the others were all legends in the world!

There had never been an event in the history of Qing-Yun Realm that could bring all these supreme cultivators together!

They were here for the same purpose this time.

It was a dream which nobody would believe in. However, the dream had come true on this day.

“Let’s stop the chitchat now. Back to the real business,” Lei Dadi touched his beard and spoke proudly.

He was Xiao Monarch’s master, the head of the three great elders of Cold Moon Palace. Of course, he had the right to say the word!

He could speak whatever he wanted, but the leaders of the three great palaces did not dare to act impolitely. One after the other, they showed respect to the three old men and sat back on their chairs. It seemed they were not going to speak anymore, at least not on their own initiative.

“The three of us are three old soldiers… only following orders. Don’t count us in when you need people to make plans and schemes. We don’t have the wits.” The three old men apparently didn’t want to join the planning.

They were wise. They were absolutely unqualified to lead a group of influential figures like this no matter what happened.

Misty Cloud Palace, Ice Cloud Palace, and Qiong-Hua Palace. Xuan Bing, Xue Danru, and the Moon Queen were all here, who were definitely in much higher positions than the three old men in the martial world.

The three old men took a step back first so the others could begin with the discussion quickly. Everybody started to report the information they got. It was a top priority to make a plan to deal with the current situation in the world. Nobody would join this gathering-up if not that the world was already in danger.

As they knew more about the current situation, the more worried they were. Everybody frowned deeply.

“Those people come from nowhere, with no purposes. They are just like a cloud of fog, mysterious and strong. They fight viciously, pushing everyone over the edge. They are going extreme on everything…”

Xue Danru frowned. She was worried.

“I have encountered those people once…” Xuan Bing spoke behind the dark cloud of fog in a bland voice, “A group of men in black was attacking Liu Clan Garden when I happened to go across their garden. I fought them once…”

“They have over seventy people, the men in black. A group of powerful cultivators. Over ten level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivators. If I didn’t see them, the Liu Clan Garden would have been ruined… I caught seven of the men in black alive, and I thought it was enough.” Xuan Bing sounded cold and distant, “However, I almost tore them into pieces, yet none of them said anything.”

The others were shocked. They couldn’t believe it was true.

Who was Xuan Bing? The recognized world’s first female devil. She was known to be merciless, wise, and experienced. She questioned the seven men herself, yet the men told her nothing! It was unbelievable!

It proved that the men of the organization were incredibly tenacious!

“However, I checked the bodies of the people killed by the organization.” Xuan Bing said, “What I learned led me to a horrible conclusion. They killed and wiped out a force, not for the treasures or the land… They didn’t do it for any resentment from the past. They didn’t do it to show their power…”

“They want the soul energy, the mind essence, the soul, and the flesh!”

…
