Realms In The Firmament

At the moment, these three men seemed to see the calm and indifferent eyes of Ye Xiao.

That coldness, indifference, distance in his eyes…

He was defying them!

Thinking of his eyes, the three men were frightened again.

What were his eyes like?

It was like…

It was like his eyes could see everything in the world. Nothing could truly shock the man who owned those eyes!

The man’s eyes were so cold and indifferent, because…

The man always aimed high…

Everything in front of him was just something he had to go through before reaching the top. He wouldn’t be angry because of his loss, or be overjoyed because of his gain!

His eyes were set upon the peak of the world!

Even further, higher!

It was limitless!

In other words, he didn’t care about anything lower than what he was after!

“Ah… The Heaven’s Leaf should have a true descendant like him…” They made a sigh and then the room was silent again.

On the same night.

Ye Xiao was having a meeting. The Seven Golden Lotuses were having a meeting as well.

The Seven Lotus Clans gathered together because of the fake Master Yunduan, Ye Changqing!

Ye Changqing sent people to kill the real Master Yunduan without telling the Seven Lotus Clans. He directly gave orders to the men who were only loyal to him.

Those men were his own men, and Ye Changqing thought they were loyal.

Lucky for Ye Changqing, the Seven Lotus Clan stopped setting spies around Ye Changqing.

However, that was not quite a lucky thing for the Seven Lotus Clan in return. Ye Changqing killed the Immortality Stage cultivators from the Great Ye Clan, but the Seven Lotus Clan were unwitting!

Zhao Yi made it back and reported to Ye Changqing about their failure. Ye Changqing raged in fury!

“Ye Xiao?” Ye Changqing was shocked when he heard it. “How is he suddenly so powerful?”

Zhao Yi looked ashamed. “I don’t know. When Ye Xiao suddenly showed himself, I didn’t take it seriously. I thought I would kill him at the same time. Unexpectedly, after just some days, he has already improved so much. It is difficult now. He saved Qiao Wu, Yan Liu, and Duan Jiu. He is the marvelous doctor, so he will cure the four men and help them recover…”

Ye Changqing worried for the same reason. If the three superior cultivators recovered, they could destroy the Great Ye Army alone without Ye Xiao’s help. The Great Ye Army was strong, but they didn’t have many truly powerful men. How were they going to fight the three Immortality Stage cultivators at the same time?

Ye Changqing paced around. His pretty face looked horrible. “Zhao Yi, this must be done as soon as possible… How big the chance is for us to defeat the Monarch’s Hall?”

Zhao Yi hesitated and thought for a while and then said, “Well… We don’t have more high-level cultivators than the Monarch’s Hall. Without the support of the Seven Lotus Clans, we… We are not going to win the fight.”

Ye Changqing gritted his teeth and said angrily, “The small Monarch’s Hall was just nothing, and now it becomes the worst enemy for us! Great!”

He frowned and thought for a long time. In the end, he said, “Fine. Go contact the Seven Lotus Clans. We have to destroy the Monarch’s Hall once and for all! The bastard Ye Xiao has a hell to pay!”

…

In the main hall of the Guan Clan, one of the Seven Lotus Clans.

Master Guan, who sat in the main chair, looked at the other six men and coldly said, “You heard what Ye Changqing said. Let’s talk about what shall we do next.”

The other six old men sitting on the big chairs looked quite unhappy.

After a while, Master Qin took a long sigh and said, “The Monarch’s Hall, the Hall of Life and Death… Gosh…”

Master Yue said, “The Hall of Life and Death hasn’t been accepting patients for quite a long time. Even Saint Origin Stage cultivators can’t get any treatments. We were there to ask for a meeting with Monarch Ye but failed. All we saw were the trees… You know how horrible the trees were… Nobody dares to get close…”

Master Song smirked and said, “Master Yue is right. Ye Changqing wants us to help him attack the Hall of Life and Death… Isn’t that such a joke? The attacking formations of that forest of giant trees are horrible. We all know it. Even if all of our good men go together, we won’t be able to defeat those trees. Our men might die for nothing because we are not going to see Ye Xiao!”

Master Song was clearly mad at the fake Master Yunduan. “He makes the decision and moves his mouth, but are we going to die for it? F*ck it. When he was expanding the territory and giving rewards to his men, we got nothing. Now he needs people to die at the front line, the Seven Lotus Clans popped up! Why doesn’t he go himself?”

Master Yun humphed and said, “That bastard maybe wants to do it by himself, but he is too weak, isn’t he? Besides, do you think he dares to show up?”

Master Qin kept rubbing his beard and didn’t say a word.

Master Guan blandly said, “It is pointless to start such a conversation. The order from the descendant of the Great Ye Clan has been given… Monarch Ye has saved my son and me. He has helped the Guan Clan a lot. If not for him, the Guan Clan should have been destroyed. Therefore, the Guan Clan quits this operation.”

He shakily stood up and said, “Brother, take your time. Don’t tell me your decision yet.”

After that, he stood up to leave.

Master Song hurriedly said, “Master Guan is honest with us. I will follow him this time. Monarch Ye saved me as well. If not for Monarch Ye, I should have died a long time ago… I am not going to fight the Hall of Life and Death. You will forgive me, brothers. Old Guan and I will wait for your messages.”

Before it started, two of the Seven Lotus Clans had quit.
