Realms In The Firmament

After some serious discussion, Li Wuliang couldn’t stay patient anymore. He and Xue Danru quickly got on the way.

“Why don’t we take revenge first? We can destroy that clan first. It won’t be late to find Ye Xiao afterward.” Xue Danru said.

“It may be late! What is more important than the reunion of my brother and I? Nothing!” Li Wuliang laughed and said, “The clan is never going to escape anyway. They won’t just run and leave the house behind. Let’s spare them for now. They are a bunch of scared cowards at the moment! We must find my brother as soon as we can!”

Someplace else.

In a mountain stronghold.

When people in this place heard about the One Meter Higher Sky, they didn’t really know what it meant, so they took it as a joke. Hundreds of people laughed at the same time.

“People from the west are all cowards. They actually couldn’t defeat one guy, and they even keep telling everybody how powerful that guy is… Hah hah hah… Ridiculous…”

They all laughed.

At this moment, a clear and cold voice sounded, giving a chill to the people like the cold wind from the snow mountain. The voice said, “What is so funny?”

A slim shadow appeared on the hillside, and it was a woman, who was like a part of the clouds in the sky.

The men who were laughing suddenly turned silent. The leader raised up his drink and awkwardly stood up. He bowed and said, “Big Sister… It is just a rumor from the west… It doesn’t mean anything serious…”

The Big Sister was in black clothes with a black silk mask on her face. She was like an ice mountain, and she said in an extremely cold voice, “What is the rumor? Why is it hilarious? I am listening.”

She was waiting for the answer, but she didn’t sound interested at all.

“Yes. We just received the news.” The leader flatteringly said, “There is a message from the west. It says a powerful man showed up in the west, who now has defeated all the forces along the twenty thousand mile road in the west… They even call this man the One Meter Higher Sky… That is absurd…”

He looked at the woman and said, “They said… No matter where the man goes to, he takes away everything valuable… He won’t even leave one yellow spirit coin behind… They said he was peerless in the world for how good he was at extortion… If that is real, he must be a stingy person… If that isn’t real, it must be just a joke… Anyway…”

The woman humphed and indifferently said, “What? Similar things keep happening in the Limitless Ocean, don’t they? What interests you so much? I just don’t understand…”

After that, she was about to leave when suddenly…

The leader kept his head low and mumbled in a low voice, “There are a lot of powerful robbers, but none of them is like this Xiao Monarch… He leaves nothing for others at all… He is truly the first man in the Limitless Ocean, even the Human Realm Upon Heavens… What he does is unacceptable…”

He didn’t finish mumbling when he suddenly felt choked.

The Big Sister was shaken when she was about to leave. She hurriedly turned around and approached the leader quickly. The next moment, her hand had grabbed the man’s collar. She raised the man up in the air and shouted, “What did you just say?”

Her voice was shaking. She was obviously hasty.

The leader was scared, so he mumbled, “I… I… I didn’t… Nothing…” He sweated on the forehead, and he nearly peed himself… His heart was beating fast. He wondered what he had said to irritate the Big Sister…

“Repeat what you just said!” The lady sounded hastier.

“I… Oh… Please… I…” The leader was so scared. He started to cry and said, “Please, have mercy, Big Sister… I didn’t mean anything… I wasn’t…”

He obviously misunderstood the lady. He thought he had offended the lady without knowing how.

“What a piece of junk!” The lady stared at the others and said, “Did you talk about the One Meter Higher Sky? Tell me more…”

‘Oh, it is that…’

The leader felt relieved, and he didn’t have trouble speaking again. “Big Sister, I know something…” As he talked, he smiled flatteringly.

“Well, speak out now!” The lady was angry. She threw the leader on the floor and raged in fury.

“Yes… Yes, Big Sister… I am speaking… I am…” The leader smirked and said, “This is all I know…”

He told the lady everything he knew from the information he gathered outside; he didn’t dare to miss any detail.

The leader realized that the lady’s eyes were lightening up while she heard about the One Meter Higher Sky… She was shaking…

‘It can’t be…’

The leader couldn’t help but guess.

He used to be the leader of a small gang. He wasn’t strong, but he managed to make the gang survive in this place. His men were all having happy days…

Someday, something happened.

A young lady walked over the mountain. One of his men saw the beautiful lady, so he stopped her. Unexpectedly, the lady killed the man with one palm hit… After that, the lady killed her way up to the gang…

Over ninety men of the gang were captured. She made them kneel in a row. They saw how the lady killed the guy with one palm hit and tore his dead body into pieces, so they thought they were going to die the same way. However, the lady didn’t kill any of them. She decided to settle down.

The leader was no longer the leader anymore… He was second to the Big Sister after that…

Since the Big Sister took over his seat, the gang started to live a better life. She was such a powerful cultivator, and nobody around this area could defeat her. She was improving fast… Again and again, she had a breakthrough and reached a new level…

The gang with stronger power got a better position in the area.

Many people came to join the gang after that.

Their life quality improved because of the Big Sister, but the days weren’t happy days for these people. They sadly felt like the painful days never ended.
