Realms In The Firmament

“We die with Lord Monarch! We die with the Monarch’s Hall!”

One thousand, seven hundred, and eighty-eight men shouted at the same time, and it shocked the world!

Ye Xiao laughed and waved his hand. “I am holding a feast tonight, to celebrate a new beginning of the true Monarch’s Hall! Let’s enjoy it!”

After that, he turned around and walked into the Hall of Life and Death.

People outside were still laughing. Meng Youjiang and his wife sent people to buy food and drinks.

It was usually Master Guan’s job. The old man had done a great job in daily affairs. After this day, the Monarch’s Hall needed somebody else to do the job!

People were laughing with joy. Everybody automatically started to do something for the Monarch’s Hall. Nobody asked for Ye Xiao’s permission, because those were all trifles. They knew that Ye Xiao was stricken so hard this time.

The Monarch’s Hall had hundreds of thousands of men and one-sixth of the city, only after a short time of hardworking. However, within one day, he lost both.

The followers all felt a bit upset about it, not to mention the leader of the Monarch’s Hall, Ye Xiao. He could never be that open-minded.

It was a cruel hit.

Ye Xiao walked into the Hall of Life and Death. He took a turn somewhere. Finally, people lost sight of him. He suddenly fell down on the floor.

He was leaning on the chair as if he was exhausted.

He felt that his power was all gone.

He couldn’t pretend to be tough anymore.

With both hands covering his face, he made a sigh.

He just sat there and didn’t move a bit.

After a while, he took a long breath and then stood up again. He waved a hand, turned the spiritual qi in the air into the water to wash his face. The cold water splashed on his face, and it kept him sober.

“Damn it. What am I doing? Why do I feel bad about it? Those were not my men. They never will be. I knew this would happen. I knew that when the true descendant of the Great Ye Clan appeared, those men would leave me. I expected all this. I have taken great advantage of them already. They worked for me for a long time. Why am I sad about it? This is embarrassing. I am Ye Xiao, the Xiao Monarch. I laughed upon all the heroes in the world! Nothing is going to stop me!”

Ye Xiao murmured.

“I have recruited some men of my own. Did they leave? A few. Only a few. Those who left are the worst. I don’t need them!

“What happened today proved one thing. What doesn’t belong to me will leave. I can take it as good luck, but it will be gone someday. I must fight for what I need. I must earn it. I must earn something that nobody can take away!”

Ye Xiao smiled and said to himself, “Ye Xiao, when did you become so weak? You are weak in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. People call you a weak shrimp! They are right…”

“Hah hah hah…”

Ye Xiao actually started to laugh. He grabbed a jar of liquor from the Boundless Space and drank it up.

The liquor splashed everywhere and he really enjoyed it.

After that, he laughed again. The next moment, he threw the jar and broke it on the floor. He shouted loudly, “The Great Ye Clan! The Great Ye Clan! The bloodline of the Great Ye Clan! Hah hah hah…”

The betrayal of the four clans pierced his heart, but it wasn’t that harsh. After all, he knew they were leaving sooner or later. The old men did what they had to do, and Ye Xiao was mad about it. In fact, he didn’t even hate Ye Yunduan.

The bloodline of the Great Ye Clan was something that stung him really hard.

He was sure that he was related to the Great Ye Clan.

Many signs had proven it.

He just needed one proof that everybody recognized!

Yue Youyou had given him the chance to prove it, but he gave up. He didn’t want to admit it!

He didn’t want to be the man who was abandoned by his own clan.

The descendant of the Great Ye Clan destroyed all that he had built within a short time. That brought him pain in his heart.

If somebody else did this, he wouldn’t feel painful but felt spirited up. ‘Somebody did this to me, and I must become strong enough to take revenge!’

But, what if the enemy shared the same bloodline with him? What should he do?

The Bloodline Jade Plate…

Ye Xiao knew that Yue Youyou could have revealed his true identity.

He just didn’t want it!

He had pride, and he needed dignity, too!

In the end, he asked Yue Youyou to stop the test, even though he knew that Yue Youyou wanted to help him.

He felt the bloodline when he was shaken by the words on the gate of the city. That wasn’t fake, was it?

The ancient clans found him because of the sign on the Bloodline Jade Plate.

There were enough proofs.

Why did he need to prove his bloodline?

The Great Ye Clan didn’t seem to know his existence!

They had sent the descendant out.

Ye Yunduan was their descendant, who represented the Great Ye Clan, who destroyed everything Ye Xiao had built!

“It won’t last if my force relies on somebody else. I must build the real Monarch’s Hall that is totally under my control. I will build my own Ye Clan.”

Ye Xiao looked at his own shadow and talked to himself, “Ye Xiao, you are an abandoned person. If you don’t work hard, people will all step on you! If you are weak, you can only live beneath others!”

“From now on, you will face much more dangers.”

“Ye Yunduan was not all. The Seven Golden Lotuses would never allow you to live. You are a pain in their eyes and the scars on their back. They will have to eradicate you.”
