Realms In The Firmament

Another guard asked, “Young Master, what was Fang San up to? Where did he go?”

Ye Yunduan frowned and decided to be frank. “I told him to kill the Monarch’s Hall people.”

The Great Ye Clan gave him the four guards, who were absolutely loyal to him, so he didn’t need to lie to them!

The other three guards weren’t worried at all. “Well, it wouldn’t go wrong then.”

However, they waited for a whole day, but Fang San didn’t come back. Ye Yunduan was a bit worried, and even a bit frightened…

The seven clans had spread the news about the return of the Great Ye Army as Ye Yunduan wanted.

The City of Chaos was even more chaotic now.

Some forces that had already seized some territories felt like they were going to be robbed.

The Great Ye Clan had returned! The Heaven’s Leaf was back after one hundred thousand years!

The flag of the Great Ye Army was raised.

It stood up high in a big house inside the City of Chaos.

When people walked over, they would stop and look at the flag. After that, they would leave in a hurry, with their heads low.

At the same time, everybody in the City of Chaos received the message of the recruitment of the Great Ye Army.

However, it had been a whole day, and nobody came to join him.

Ye Yunduan didn’t feel angry about it, because he didn’t have time to care about it. What was troubling him was that Fang San had gone missing. ‘What is going on?’

‘Nobody saw him.’

He lost patience, so he sent the other three guards to go together and find Fang San. After a while, the three guards came back and said, “The Monarch’s Hall is empty. All the houses are cast aside. There is a giant maple tree. Nothing else. The Hall of Life and Death is closed, too.”

They checked the Hall of Life and Death from a distance and saw it closed, so they didn’t get in.

In fact, if they did, they would have died there…

Ye Yunduan wasn’t satisfied. He was anxious. ‘What? Did he just disappear?’

The next few days, more and more itinerant cultivators came to join the army. Ye Yunduan was busy. He didn’t forget Fang San, but he was too busy to do anything about it anymore. He was waiting for some news about it…

Ye Yunduan was sure that Fang San could never just disappear. He was thinking maybe Fang San found something and didn’t have time to come back and report…

There were a lot of people coming to pledge loyalty to the Great Ye Clan. The Great Ye Clan was truly a famous and powerful clan in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

One day.

Mater Guan gathered up the men who came from the Monarch’s Hall. There were over a hundred of them. Master Guan gave each of them one dan bead and said, “Now we are brothers in the Great Ye Army. This dan bead will improve your cultivation. Let’s try to get one level up in two days.”

These people knew that Master Guan and Ye Xiao were close, so they worried that Master Guan might punish them for being disloyal. However, as they got the dan beads, they were overjoyed… They took the dan beads and then left for cultivating…

Two days after that, they felt weird. ‘I have been working so hard in the past two days. Why am I still the same? That dan bead doesn’t work! One level up? How? That thing is useless!’

Guan Tiemian gathered them again in two days.

“No? How come!” Master Guan looked in shock.

“No!” Everybody shook.

“None of you did it?” Master Guan rubbed the beards and his eyes glittered.

“No. Not at all! We are just the same!”

“Are you sure?”

“We are sure!”

They all nodded to confirm.

Master Guan nodded and then shouted angrily, “With such great dan beads, you still couldn’t make progress in cultivation. You must be lazy! Why should we keep you? Come on! Take these useless men out and cut their heads now!”

The men of the Department of Penalty showed up and moved to these people.

They were all shocked. They didn’t even know how to react.

“Master Guan… What are you…”

When they saw Master Guan’s solemn face, they realized that the old man was being serious.

When they were going to fight back, they all got hit by the pain in their bellies. They couldn’t raise any of their spiritual qi. Master Guan’s men had come over and tied these men up.

After that, they were killed.

Over a hundred heads piled up in the yard. Blood flowed everywhere on the floor.

Whoever saw it was scared.

Master Guan coldly humphed and left.

‘Master Ye, Lord Monarch, I can’t be on your side, but… I will clean these traitors up for you!’

When Ye Yunduan got the message, Master Guan had killed already those men.

Ye Yunduan was furious. He didn’t care about these men, but he owned them. What Master Guan did was a disgrace to him. How could he stand that? He went to Master Guan and said, “Master Guan, what was that? Why did you do that? You just killed all the men who came to follow me!”

“What are you talking about, Young Master. When I gave them the task, they didn’t turn it down. They happily accepted it. Well, they failed, and that got them killed. The penalty must be strict. You must know how to rule an organization with it.” Master Guan said, “Besides… They are traitors. If they can betray the Monarch’s Hall, they can betray us as well. I am cleaning up the disloyal men for you!

“We have rules in the Great Ye Army. Nobody escapes the punishment.”

Ye Yunduan was shocked. After a while, he stamped and said loudly, “Don’t ever do this again!”
