Realms In The Firmament

Bu Xiangfeng humiliated Master Xiao in the auction. Almost everybody in the City of Chaos knew it. Meng Youjiang knew why Master Xiao came, but he pretended not to. He was obviously backing Bu Xiangfeng.

Everybody in the Monarch’s Hall knew that Bu Xiangfeng was only a guard, but none of them saw him as an outsider. People made fun of him. They said he had misjudged Master Ye, and he should have sworn to follow Master Ye in the beginning. Now he was just a guard. That was not a proper position at all!

Master Xiao showed a soft smile and said, “I am here to clear the debt that he owes me. Even brothers must clear debts. Brother Meng, please tell Brother Bu to show himself. We need to talk.”

Meng Youjiang laughed and said, “Bu Xiangfeng is a guard who protects our Prime Leader. He can’t leave Master Ye. If there is anything you want to say to him, you can tell me about it. I am not rich, but if you are asking for money, I won’t let you leave empty-handed.”

Meng Youjiang sounded polite and gentle and even promised to give Master Xiao money. It seemed he was showing respect to Master Xiao. In fact, he knew that the debt wasn’t about money. Meng Youjiang was backing Bu Xiangfeng up, and he indicated that Master Xiao was not a concern to him at all!

Master Xiao gently said, “Oh? Really? A guard in the Monarch’s Hall. Is it really that important?”

No matter how gentle he sounded, it made people feel cold.

Meng Youjiang humphed and said, “If the safety of our Prime Master isn’t important… there is nothing important in the world!”

The slim young man on Master Xiao’s left blandly smiled and said, “Safety? He is either alive or dead. That is all. It is not important at all.”

As he spoke, he raised up his head. He stared at Meng Youjiang with a pair of cold eyes. The killing intent was rising.

That was obviously threatening.

Meng Youjiang was enraged and took a step forward. When he was about to start the fight, an elegant voice sounded somewhere. “It seems the difference in my life and death isn’t important to you. Well, I wonder if your lives are important to you or not?”

Ye Xiao elegantly showed himself; he slowly and casually walked over step by step.

He was a weak cultivator, but as he looked at the three enemies, he was like a god above the clouds looking down upon all mortals.

He was like a god descending to the mortal world.

Master Xiao was shaken.

‘The man is so awkwardly weak in cultivation, yet his aura is so powerful. How come? Isn’t it unbelievable?’

“Are you the owner of his place? Ye Xiao, the Prime Leader of the Monarch’s Hall.” Master Xiao looked at him with respect.

Ye Xiao proudly said, “Yes, but that is not all. I am the Monarch of the Monarch’s Hall. I am the Xiao Monarch, Ye Xiao. Ye means leaf, and Xiao means smile.”

“Brothers laugh by my side, and enemies bleed under my sword.”

Ye Xiao looked at Master Xiao and said, “You look like an honorable man. I wonder if you want to be my friend or my enemy!”

The pressure!

That was the unbearable oppression!

Master Xiao didn’t know why, but he could feel how he was oppressed by the young man’s invisible power.

Master Xiao wasn’t reconciled to be oppressed like this, so he wanted to rise up and push back. However, he failed! Ye Xiao was still calm, casual, and sneering.

The two young men on Master Xiao’s side looked at each other, and one of them asked, “May I ask what sect or clan are you from, Monarch Ye?”

Ye Xiao showed a sneering smile and blandly said, “None!”

The man thought for a while and said, “Master Ye… Are you a descendant of the Heaven’s Leaf, Ye Clan? Is the Ye Clan back to the world?”

Ye Xiao blandly said, “I am Ye Xiao, the Monarch of the Monarch’s Hall! That is all. I don’t have any strong background. If there is anything you want to do, do it. Hesitation won’t lead you to any better situation.”

As he said so, the three opponents became even more suspicious.

‘He must be somebody with some special background!’

‘His name is Ye. The Heaven’s Leaf, Ye Clan, is the only powerful clan that is named Ye!’

Master Xiao was hesitating.

The force that was backing Master Xiao was definitely powerful, but if compared to the Heaven’s Leaf, it was not. The Ye Clan had left the martial world for one hundred thousand years… Everybody knew that Ye Hongchen was as powerful as the five sky kings when he was in the martial world. The five sky kings were still alive, so Ye Hongchen must be alive too!

‘The descendant of the Ye Clan showed up in the martial world and built the Monarch’s Hall. Something is going to happen.’

‘If I become an enemy to this young lord here, or if I destroy this new organization that is built by the descendant of the Ye Clan, the Ye Clan will get back on me. They have stayed silent for one thousand years, and this is the first time they come out. If I ruin their plan… They will never let it go!’

‘Nobody, except the five sky kings, has the power to resist Ye Hongchen’s angry attacks!’

Master Xiao knew that he couldn’t mess with the Ye Clan!

The problem was that he had shouted so loudly to come and make trouble. Was he going to escape because of a few words the young man said?

Wasn’t it quite a humiliation?

Several old men were watching it over a building somewhere. They were all impressed.

“I thought we would have to send our men out to help him… Well… I was wrong…” Master Guan sighed. However, he felt proud.

“That was domineering and powerful!” Master Song looked solemn.

“That is strong, tough, and overwhelming!” Master Ju said, “That’s the right one.”
