Realms In The Firmament

“It is in the city… They say it is on a big tree… I don’t know if it is true…” The dan maker was speaking, and the four people were already ready to go.

The two guys directly raised up and carried the bed, while the other two were leading the way. The lady kept consuming her life energy to keep the dying man alive. They were leaving.

“You… Guys…” The dan maker was surprised. “Are you sure you want to go? I… You know… I only heard it from others… I am not sure if it is true…”

“True or not, it is our only hope. We must go! We will crawl to that place if our legs are broken!”

“To join them, to serve them, to do one thing for them… As long as they can save my big brother’s life, I am willing to be treated like a dog by them!”

Du Qingkuang’s eyes were filled with tears, and he walked out of the room first.

With a sound of flickering the air, they had gone. It shocked the dan makers that they actually moved so fast.

In the sky.

The four men were carrying a bed, rushing toward the central area of the City of Chaos like a shooting star.

It was the Hall of Life and Death!

The four of them were all praying, hoping that the information was real…

‘As long as you can really bring anybody back from death, we will serve you, we will be willing to cut our heads down for you… The only thing we want is to save our big brother!’

…

It was the Hall of Life and Death!

A big tree made the Hall of Life and Death. The big three that people were talking about grew up a thousand feet in a day, reached the sky in three days. It became a vivid sign in the City of Chaos. Everybody saw it.

Du Qingkuang and the others were all good cultivators. They saw the tree in the city. When they saw it, they were all spirited up.

“Faster! Faster!” The lady, Feng’er was urging the others. She turned around and gently said, “Big brother, we are almost there… You have to stay with us! We are close now! You will be fine soon!”

The dying man looked so soft, looking at her haggard face.

“Feng’er… If I can survive this… I will marry you. I promise! I like you… I like you for many years…”

Feng’er shed tears and said, “Absolutely! Absolutely! I am waiting! I will wait! We will be married in this life…”

Du Qingkuang seemed to see some other people carrying a stretcher and crazily moving fast to the big tree!

He was shocked, and then said, “Guys, we must move fast! We can’t let them go before us…”

Every second mattered. One second later, they might lose the opportunity.

The man was dying, but he was not the only one. Too many people got injured in the City of Chaos.

The two men who carried the bed spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time. Apparently, they were burning their own life energy as well!

They moved forward, fast like a shooting arrow.

…

Ye Xiao was in the Hall of Life and Death, setting up some beds for the patients to come.

Ye Xiao was the only man who could change the interior structure of the fortress of trees. Erhuo could do something to help because it existed beyond the level system. The others couldn’t move anything in the fortress, because if they did, the array formations would attack them!

The energy that was activated by the East-rising Purple Qi in the fortress—supported by the one hundred and eight pieces of Chaotic Purple Crystal—could even kill Bu Xiangfeng if he dared to break the fortress.

However, he had no basis for this conclusion. After all, he had no idea how powerful Bu Xiangfeng truly was, and how powerful a Saint Origin Stage cultivator could be!

After the beds were set, Ye Xiao was thinking. ‘Should I put another array formation to collect spiritual energy in my room?’

‘The fortress is not only a place for treatments but also a perfect place for cultivation. The spiritual qi in the fortress was increasing fast. The spiritual qi in the air was almost as dense as in the Boundless Space. It will be quite a waste not to use it!’

‘Hmm… Where should I put the array formation? In my room? Where?’

While he was thinking, somebody was shouting in haste outside. “Is this the Hall of Life and Death? Where is the marvelous doctor? Where are you? Come out and help…”

‘Now? People have come for help?’

Ye Xiao was surprised. He was not so happy because nobody came for help. Now that people came, he was a bit nervous. After all, he was not a marvelous doctor. No matter how he wanted people to call him a marvelous doctor, he was not one!

After a while, Bai Long got in.

“Master, people have come for help. The man is dying. They have no time to waste.”

Ye Xiao said, “Show them in then.”

He then pushed one hand down, and the room was filled by the purple qi. Because of the purple qi in the air, nobody could see his face, not even face to face.

Ye Xiao was wrapped by the purple qi, which made him look pretty mysterious.

He learned this from Xuan Bing. Xuan Bing used to cover herself with the dark fog, while Ye Xiao covered himself with the purple qi, which made him thirty percent more dignified, mysterious, and unconventional!

Footsteps sounded hastily. Somebody talked to Bai Long, “Thank you… Thank you…”

Somebody else shouted outside again. “Where is the marvelous doctor of the Hall of Life and Death? Help…”

The Dark Evil Spirit’s voice sounded. “The most important thing in the Hall of Life and Death is destiny and rules. One has entered first. The others should wait. If you don’t want to wait, you can leave.”

After that, people groaned and sighed…

Everybody knew that in the fortress, what happened concerned life and death. Before anybody went out, nobody dared to do anything reckless.

Dan makers and pharmacists were the most important roles in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, and Ye Xiao was now a marvelous doctor. Even though nothing ever proved that he was a marvelous doctor, people still didn’t dare to risk their chance to live!

Bu Xiangfeng slowly walked over. He had seen all those people who crowded at the door of the Hall of Life and Death before he got close, and he was shocked. That was not all, because more and more people were approaching from everywhere.

He was astonished.

‘I have only told five men out there… Well, I understand if there are five groups of people who know this place… I haven’t told anybody else!’

‘I am sure that these people are definitely not from the five groups of people that I sent the message to!’

‘None of them!’

‘How do they know?’

‘All of a sudden… All these people crowded over… Are they here for proper treatment, or just to hang around…?’

‘Why do I feel like everybody knows now?’

‘This is… This should be a secret message!’

Bu Xiangfeng was shocked, and also freaked out.

‘What the hell is going on?’

He was sure that the five men he informed earlier were all quiet guys who didn’t like to talk. Two of them would even stay quiet for half a year. So far as he remembered, these two were like dead men…

‘How come?’

‘I have just told the message to people who don’t talk! Why so many people knew?’

‘It doesn’t make sense! It is unbelievable!’

More and more people had come to wait for a second chance to live. Bu Xiangfeng felt a headache and also felt embarrassed.

‘Damn it… I only told five men…’

‘How did they spread the message so fast? The kid was right again… This is unbelievable!’

‘The five men are all silent people…’

…

“Where is the marvelous doctor?”

“Where is the marvelous doctor? My brother is dying! We need his help! Where is he?”

“My sister is dying… Please, save my sister… I will promise you anything… Anything you want…”

“Help my boy, please… I am begging…”

“What took him so long…? Come on…”

…

The crowd was in agitated noise.

Some of them almost lost control, trying to rush into the room to force Ye Xiao to cure their people…

Bu Xiangfeng coughed and walked through the crowd with an expressionless face.

He walked directly to the door of the Hall of Life and Death. Between the two giant trees, he tilted his head and said nothing. He and the two trees were like one great wall. His eyes were cold and frightening.

He suddenly showed up in front of the crowd, and the vibe showed that he was on the marvelous doctor’s side. “Who dares to get in without permission should step over my body first!”

“It is the Farewell Sword! Bu Xiangfeng!”

Somebody exclaimed in the crowd.

Suddenly, it became so quiet. Nobody dared to talk.

Bu Xiangfeng was the Number Three in the Itinerant Cultivator Power Ranking List, who was known as a loner in the martial world. Everybody wondered why he would stand up for the Hall of Life and Death.

“Brother Bu, how come you are here? Did the marvelous doctor save your life? Is that why you serve him?” A big man in the crowd apparently had a great imagination. He was happy to see Bu Xiangfeng, and he said, “Old Bu, you know the marvelous doctor! Great! Talk to him… Help my son… My son… is dying…”

On the big guy’s side, there was a beautiful middle-aged woman, who was holding a young man in her arms. Tears filled her eyes. As she looked at Bu Xiangfeng, she thought he was the savior, so she started to smile happily. The woman was crying and smiling at the same time.

That was reasonable, wasn’t it? It was always easier since their friend was working for the doctor.

The others heard the big guy’s words, so they were all spirited up. After all, they didn’t know whether the marvelous doctor was as good as the message said. However, if Bu Xiangfeng was willing to serve this place, it proved that this place saved lives! They all believed Bu Xiangfeng served the doctor to return the favor of saving his life!

That was why they were all hopeful!

“What?” Bu Xiangfeng was shocked. “Why… Why are you here? Is that… Is that…”

The big guy, who was in a brocade robe made a sigh and said angrily, “That’s right. This is my stupid son, who has no idea how high the sky can be… He had just spent a few days in the martial world, and he thought he was powerful enough to take the reward from the Hall of Returning Nature. Oh, hell… When we knew he was going to join the battle, it was too late. The fight was on. It was such a bloody war last night. We almost died because of anxiety. When we reached the battle, he had been beaten up so bad that he was dying… We took him out and went to the dan makers and pharmacists in the city, but none of them could help. In the end, we heard about the Hall of Life and Death, so here we are… I didn’t expect to see you here, brother! The heavens blessed my son… My son is going to be safe…”

As he was talking, he was shaking his head. His eyes kept watching his son, and he was anxious and worried.

“Old Bu… Brother… I am begging you… Please, ask the marvelous doctor to save my son. We will promise anything. We can give him our lives…” The middle-aged woman suddenly got down on her knees and started to beg Bu Xiangfeng. Tears ran out of her eyes.

“Please, don’t… Sister… What are you doing? Please get up…” Bu Xiangfeng was shocked. He stepped aside and moved ahead to hold the woman up.

The man and his wife were not just some ordinary cultivators. They were the leader and the lady of the Dark Wind Mountain, a famous alliance of itinerant cultivators. The two of them were both powerful figures, who were both one of the ten most powerful figures in the Itinerant Cultivator Power Ranking List. Moreover, they always fought together. When they fought together, even Bu Xiangfeng had no easy chance to win.

Bu Xiangfeng had his own secret techniques though. He was able to kill the couple in a fight but had to sacrifice his own life too. It was pointless to start a fight like that, wasn’t it?

Bu Xiangfeng met his old friends, and his old friends were begging him now. He did know the marvelous doctor, as they said, and he truly didn’t want to let them down.

Bu Xiangfeng held the lady up and checked the young man. He was frightened. The young man’s throat was pierced and there was a big hole in his head; another big hole in his chest, while the third hole was near his dantian…

The young man was still breathing, but the breath was all that proved him alive…

‘Holy hell… How is he going to save a man who is so severely injured?’ Bu Xiangfeng was frightened.
