Realms In The Firmament

The Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long saw what happened, and they stopped what they were doing right away. They stood straight up and looked at the fourteen men who were coming down obviously for fights. Bai Long had automatically put his hand on the handle of his sword.

Bu Xiangfeng half-closed his eyes, looking lazy and indifferent, but he was also keeping an eye on the fourteen men.

“Look at you. Destiny makes us meet again.” Qiu Luo slowly stood straight up. He was fully recovered, but because of being sick for so many years, he was used to stooping down a bit. After all, he had experienced too much in his life, so he didn’t look as vigorous as a young man anymore, but appeared old.

At this moment, as he slowly stood straight up, he became strong and tough. He didn’t stoop down anymore, but became like a spear standing up pointing at the sky!

Ye Xiao and the others who were watching him all had the same feeling as if they were watching Qiu Luo getting better and better from sickness, from despair to hope!

It seemed they could feel the pain and sorrow during the days he had suffered!

Whoever saw this scene, would be moved.

Everybody felt the distress in his heart.

The leader of the fourteen men in gray clothes stared at Qiu Luo with sneer and disdain in their eyes. With two hands behind the back, he casually walked over, looking at Qiu Luo from head to toe, and said, “Look at you… Qiu Luo, I can’t believe it is you… I heard that it is difficult for a tortoise to turn over, but I see a different answer in you… What a miracle! A salted fish can actually turn around.”

“Qiu Luo, it seems you are living such better days now.” The man paced around Qiu Luo and said, “I wonder who on earth actually wasted that much to cure the Heaven’s Corrupting Worm in you. Who dares to recruit you, a man with no decent reputation?”

As he was speaking, his voice became cold and vicious. His eyes were cold, and he said, “Who is in charge of this place?”

He disdainfully looked over the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long. He said arrogantly, “Is it you? The Dark Evil Spirit? Bai Long?”

The Dark Evil Spirit half-closed his eyes and coldly said, “So what? What if we are? Who are you? The Grey Parasol Sword Sect? Elder Gui? Heh heh heh… Look at you. I thought it was the first guard of the five sky kings…”

The man, Elder Gui, kept smiling with disdain. He glanced at the Dark Evil Spirit and said, “Dark Evil Spirit, you have spent quite some years in the martial world… What a shame! You should have learned that one can always die because of a reckless tongue… Now, let me give you a lesson. Let’s say I am helping your master to discipline you! Maybe you should learn something!”

The Dark Evil Spirit was ready to respond to him, but a lazy voice sounded. “What is it? Why did you stop working? We are running out of time here. What is your problem? Do you want me to cut your food for today?”

The others all looked over. It was a young man in white clothes who talked so arrogantly. The young man was extremely pretty, who was walking over while frowning.

He was annoyed, but as he walked, it looked like he was walking on the clouds, like a god.

People saw him and all couldn’t help praising him in their hearts. What a handsome man!

The Dark Evil Spirit slightly bowed and said, “Young Master, these people are from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect… They are here to…”

“To what?” Ye Xiao frowned and interrupted. He said, “I don’t care who they are. Do you think you can stop working just because of these people? No excuses! Go on with your work now. We don’t have much time to waste. You should focus on your work, not on some trashy people and some trashy talks… I wonder what you are thinking. If you keep wasting time to talk to these useless junks, you won’t get your food today! My place never welcome useless men!”

Useless junks!

The fourteen men from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect were all shocked.

‘Who is this man?’

‘Does he know what he just said? If he likes to threaten his man with food, I don’t care. If he wants to humiliate us, we won’t bear it!’

When they were going to speak, Ye Xiao started scolding again.

“And you!” Ye Xiao turned to Bai Long and looked at him fiercely. “What have you done, Bai Long? Are you going to talk to every useless animal? Can’t you spend your time on something meaningful? If they truly are people who want your company, why don’t you go get them some ladies from the brothel? They will love the ladies for sure. Even if they don’t like ladies, just get them some pimps or something! They will be fine! Do I pay you to talk here? Can’t you use your brain sometimes? Why do you have to waste time on these stupid morons?”

Useless animal? Moron? These stupid morons?

The Grey Parasol Sword Sect people weren’t stupid. They knew what Ye Xiao was talking about! They were all angry!

Ye Xiao frowned and scolded his men with a cold face.

It seemed he was reproaching his men for delaying the construction work…

However, the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long were so happy to hear it. They just felt so good.

‘Master is shouting at us, but he is actually humiliating the guys from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect!’

‘He is abusing these people like they are nothing!’

“Go to work now! Come on! Go!” Ye Xiao impatiently waved his hands and said, “If I ever see you slow down again, you won’t have your lunch today. I will even deduct the money for the time you spent on this useless talks!”

“Yes, master.”

The Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long tried not to laugh and then started to supervise the construction.

The two of them left, so Ye Xiao started to shout at the third man.

“Qiu Luo, what are you doing here?” He stared at Qiu Luo and said, “What? Are these your old friends? Do you think you can stop working just because of your friends? Come on, Qiu Luo. I shouldn’t judge you, but you truly don’t have bright eyes. What are these people? Look how ugly and stupid they look! None of them seems to be a good one. You must pay more attention! Learn to be smarter while staying with me!”

He stared at Qiu Luo and said, “Qiu Luo, don’t feel bad. Don’t blame me for telling the truth about your friends. You must know what kind of people they are before you become friends with them! Look at them! What the hell is that? They are ugly, fierce, vicious, domineering… They are not good people. They must be some bumpkins from some small towns who haven’t seen much of the real world yet… Qiu Luo, you are playing quite an important role here… How can you hang out with a bunch of trashy bumpkins? That is such a shame!”

Ye Xiao spat on the floor and said with disdain, “You are working for me now… If you still hang out with these people, you are disgracing me! Maybe it is fine for you, but I don’t like it. Just give them some money and send them away. I don’t care what you guys usually do in your daily life, but just don’t disgust me with these things! Go on! Say goodbye! Send them away! Or you are not going to get your lunch today!”

Qiu Luo was so enjoying this right now. He lowered his head and pretended to apologize. “Master, I am wrong. But… These are not my friends… They are not…”

Ye Xiao seemed to be happier, and said, “I knew it! You are not blind like that! You won’t make friends with these useless things… Steward!”

Bu Xiangfeng was watching the show in a distance, wondering who was better at trash talks, him or Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao started to show him a gesture to call him over.

He walked to Ye Xiao and said, “Master, what can I do for you?”

Ye Xiao turned around with a disgusted face, waved his hand, and pointed at the people behind him. “What do you think I want you to do? Can’t you see? These vagrants have come to our place and stopped our work. What do you think I need a steward for? Just come over and kick them out now! If they stay here longer, my place is going to stink! You know I like my place clean. I don’t like nasty things. I just can’t stand looking at them. What a day…”

‘If they stay here longer, my place is going to stink!’

‘I don’t like nasty things. I just can’t stand looking at them.’

‘Vagrants!’

That was mean and vicious.

Bu Xiangfeng nearly cracked out a laugh.

The man, Elder Gui was shocked by the strong vibe of Ye Xiao when Ye Xiao walked out like pacing on clouds. It was not something a regular man could pretend after all…

However, Elder Gui never expected that such a decent man was actually so mean and vicious while talking!

He felt that this young man’s tongue was sharp enough to cut through people’s throats!

After he showed up, every word he said was a blaring slap in the fourteen men’s faces.

When he spoke, he said the words with disdain, indifference, and taunt… However, he talked like it was just the usual thing. That provoked the fourteen men to the most…

Elder Gui was already lost in fury after Ye Xiao spoke. He must have an ill temper, so his heart was beating fast, and he was so emotional at the moment.

“Wait!” Elder Gui shouted. His entire face had turned red like blood. He was almost spitting out blood. “You f…”

When he was about to speak out some abusive words, a middle-aged man on his side grabbed his arm.

That was a clear hint. ‘He knows we are from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect, yet he still did that to us… He may not be just a man we can mess with. What do you think?’

‘We must find out who he is… I don’t think it is a clever move to offend someone important.’

‘Look at this place… I think he could be some influential figure…’

Elder Gui swallowed the abusive words back down to his throat and said in a deep voice instead. “May I have your name, young master?”

Ye Xiao had walked out ten meters when he heard Elder Gui, and he chose to ignore the question. He didn’t stop, but waved his hand and impatiently said, “What are you doing, steward? Kick them out or you won’t get lunch today!”

Elder Gui heard it and he was so angry that he almost spat out his heart with blood. The other people from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect all felt humiliated as well. They all stared at Ye Xiao’s back with anger in their eyes.

Bu Xiangfeng, the steward, walked over and frankly said, “Why are you still standing here? Just go… What are you standing here for? There is no food for you beggars! Do you want more humiliation?”

‘There is no food for you beggars!’

‘There is no food for you beggars!’

That wasn’t abusive words, but it truly humiliated those guys!

The fourteen men from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect became beggars now. Only Bu Xiangfeng could think of such humiliating words to say. Ye Xiao had said a lot of words, but Bu Xiangfeng was obviously better at a sneer!

He was truly a master of trash talk!

People from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect had never thought that they would be in such an embarrassing situation.

Not long before, a report in their sect pointed out that Qiu Luo had gone missing.

Their prime master gave them an order to torture Qiu Luo, but now the guy was missing… It was a big deal. If Qiu Luo died somewhere, it should be fine. If he left the city and went somewhere, these men would be punished. Besides, unusual things kept happening in the city. That was why these fourteen men were cautious.

The Grey Parasol Sword Sect was one of the two hundred most powerful forces in the Limitless Ocean. It was a mid-level force. They surely must come to the city to try their luck. This time, the Grey Parasol Sword Sect had sent many good men to the city.

Elder Gui was the leader of one of the three squads of the Grey Parasol Sword Sect.

He had taken part in the act of capturing Qiu Luo back to the old days. In fact, he was one of the leaders of that operation.

In those days, the prime master of Grey Parasol Sword Sect was still a young master. If he didn’t have the support of Elder Gui, it wouldn’t be that easy to capture Qiu Luo and defeat him!

On Qiu Luo’s vengeance list, the prime master of the Grey Parasol Sword Sect was the first, and Elder Gui was surely the second. Qiu Luo hated this man so much!

When Qiu Luo was gone, the prime master of the Grey Parasol Sword Sect was angry. Elder Gui was anxious. He decided to kill Qiu Luo when he saw Qiu Luo!

However, he never expected to find Qiu Luo so soon in the City of Chaos.

The others didn’t know that the middle-aged man was the old useless Qiu Luo, but Elder Gui recognized him. Qiu Luo looked exactly the same as the old days, although he was not as powerful as before. When Elder Gui saw the man, he was shocked!

He knew better about the situation of Qiu Luo than the prime master of the Grey Parasol Sword Sect. Qiu Luo was dying, so it was hard to believe that he looked so healthy and young!

At least, Elder Gui didn’t believe there was anything that could save the old man!

He led the other thirteen men down to the ground to check on Qiu Luo. If possible, he would kill Qiu Luo immediately. If not, he must figure out what had happened. However, things didn’t go as he expected. The fourteen men had kicked on an iron plate this time!

After Ye Xiao, the young master showed up, the fourteen men started to endure the humiliation from the abusive words from Ye Xiao…

Ye Xiao’s domineering arrogance was rising upon all!

The more domineering Ye Xiao acted, the more cautious Elder Gui was.

Nobody believed that such a domineering man was just an ordinary man in the world!

The Grey Parasol Sword Sect was not weak, because they could easily defeat a Divinity Origin Stage cultivator after all. However, if compared to the great forces in the Limitless Ocean, the Grey Parasol Sword Sect was nothing.

Other than the great forces, there were still people like the five sky kings in the world.

The five sky kings were powerful, and their subordinates were also incredibly powerful. A second-league sect like the Grey Parasol Sword Sect could never afford to mess with a young lord from the house of a sky king’s subordinate!

The Grey Parasol Sword Sect could be rooted out in one day.

There were people who could casually kill the Grey Parasol Sword Sect, just as easily as they killed Qiu Luo’s wife and tortured Qiu Luo for many years!

“Master Steward…” Master Gui took a breath and tried to hold down the anger in his chest. He tried to be peaceful, and said, “We are from the Grey Parasol Sword Sect, and we…”

“What gray? What paranoid? What salt?” Bu Xiangfeng impatiently interrupted Elder Gui and waved a hand like waving off a fly. “Get the f*ck out of here now. If I miss my lunch today, I will cut your mouths and let you starve to death! Look at your ugly faces. Disgusting!”

That was new, cutting one’s mouth and starve until they die!

Elder Gui was shaking because of anger. He shouted, “There are rules in the martial world. The thing between our sect and Qiu Luo is our business, not others. I don’t care who you are, where you are from, you can’t get between us like this and talk nonsense! Why are you doing this?”

As he said so, the other people behind him agreed and cheered for him.

“Shut up! All of you, shut your mouths! I guess you do want me to shut your mouths for you!” Bu Xiangfeng looked down upon them and said, with both hands behind his back, “I don’t care what is between you and him. You are standing in the territory of the Monarch’s Hall. I can do whatever I want! I am this domineering! I am getting between you and him! What can you do about it?”
