Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao’s prediction turned out to be wrong.

Before the storms came, the wind blew over first.

The Great Ye Army hadn’t come after them. Somebody else did.

It was Master Xiao!

At night, somebody came to the Hall of Life and Death for help.

It wasn’t rare because there were a lot of wounded men in the city after the fights. Although the Hall of Life and Death was expensive, people knew it did a perfect job in the treatment. The powerful organizations had their own dan makers and doctors, so they didn’t need to send all their people to the Hall of Life and Death. Otherwise, there would be thousands of more patients in the Hall of Life and Death.

Because the three powerful organizations also sent their people to the Hall of Life and Death, it became much more famous than before. There were some Saint Origin Stage cultivators of the powerful organizations who came to the Hall of Life and Death and asked for the treatment, including two of the Eight Stars of the Hall of Returning Nature. People all knew about the excellent treatment now. However, after the three organizations’ people, fewer and fewer people came. First of all, many itinerant cultivators had left the city. Second, the three organizations didn’t hire itinerant cultivators to fight for them anymore.

At last, the Hall of Life and Death was too expensive. The three organizations still had many wounded men, but they didn’t send them to the Hall of Life and Death anymore. They just let them rest for a long time. After all, paying too much on some ordinary cultivators was a waste. It cost as much as it did on healing a Saint Origin Stage cultivator. Nobody wanted to pay that much on some weaker cultivators. There were no fights anymore. The City of Chaos was back to peace. If there was no battle, there were no wounded men.

Not many people came to the Hall of Life and Death now.

Ye Xiao was cultivating in his room, but he sensed an energy wave in the sky. A bolt of lightning flashed in the dark, and the city seemed to shake.

It felt like the city was flying up off the ground.

Ye Xiao’s ears were buzzing. He looked out the window and wondered if anything big was going to happen.

He waited for a while, but there was nothing special.

He was confused.

At this moment, somebody came to report that a severely wounded man was coming for help outside.

It was late in the night.

Ye Xiao didn’t want to take the patient. His name had spread widely to the world as a fabulous doctor, but he was also known as the Demon Doctor. If people did not follow his rules, he would only let the man die. There was no exception!

Ye Xiao truly wasn’t evil. He just couldn’t break the rule. If he did, there would be endless patients who begged for the treatments for free. That would be huge trouble.

However, when Ye Xiao saw the patient, he was touched. He let the man in.

He wasn’t breaking the rule though. First, the man came alone, and he could join the Monarch’s Hall after the treatment or pay the fee and make an oath.

Second, the man was so piteous.

His clothes were in pieces, and he seemed to have suffered thousands of attacks. His body was just a pile of flesh with blood in a human shape.

Ye Xiao checked on him. It was an old man, whose face was unrecognizable. Seventeen different types of palm hits had left marks on his body. There were bleeding wounds caused by different weapons. Over seven poisons were planted in his body.

Ye Xiao had never seen anybody wounded so severely.

‘When I was attacked by the three factions… When their men all came at me at the same time… I didn’t get as severely injured as this man…’

Ye Xiao thought.

‘The old man must have suffered so much… I have been through similar circumstances.’

That was why he pitied the old man and decided to help him.

When the old man arrived, he was dying. He didn’t know how he was carried into the Hall of Life and Death.

If he went to other people, he was most likely going to die while nobody knew what to do except watching him die.

The wounds were too bad. His bones were broken. His muscles were ripped. Poisons were hurting him in the body. His Jing and Mai were infected. Ye Xiao had fed him a lot of supreme dan beads with some Water of True Spirits from the Boundless Space. However, it didn’t bring the old man back to consciousness. That was terrible!

Ye Xiao was busy for a whole night and eventually kept the old man alive. He took a breath of relief and slowly stood up.

“You must be lucky… I may not be a real doctor, but I am better than a real doctor at saving your life…” Ye Xiao murmured and said, “Well, what you have been suffering! You have been so severely injured, yet you made it to my door. I guess there were many people coming after you… Old man, you are not an ordinary person, and you are definitely a lucky man. The heavens want you to live, and I shall do my best to help.”

He had been busy for a whole night for the old man.

He had fed the man a lot of supreme dan beads as well as Water of True Spirits. Other than that, he had been watching the old man, trying to make a further step in the treatment. He was quite a responsible doctor. As the old man was safe, he felt tired, and he decided to take a rest. When he just closed his eyes to rest, he heard…

“Ye Xiao! Get the f*ck out!”

An angry shouted cracked in the sky beyond the Monarch’s Hall.

There were five men who flew over the sky and landed in the yard of the Monarch’s Hall.

The man who stood in front was the young man, Master Xiao.

Master Xiao seemed to be pretty angry. He was raging!

When he came last time, he was humiliated and kicked back. He was so angry, but there was nothing he could do. He got a piece of Cosmos Iron in the end, but he couldn’t stand that humiliation.

The next day, he left the City of Chaos.

Some days after, he heard from somebody that the real descendant of the Great Ye Clan appeared, and it was not the Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao. Now he knew that the people of the seven clans had left the Monarch’s Hall. In other words, Master Xiao was bluffed by Ye Xiao…

Master Xiao nearly freaked out when he heard the news.
