Realms In The Firmament

From the first small part, one could see the whole picture. The Hall of Returning Nature was horribly powerful. No wonder it was even stronger than Master Bai’s organization. No wonder it had been the most powerful force in the Limitless Ocean for such a long time!

As things went on, the rain of arrows became smaller and smaller, but Master Guan and Master Song became more desperate.

Apparently, the rain of God Slaughter Arrows was the first attack. The God Slaughter Arrows were only used to destroy the younger cultivators of the two clans and weaken the two old masters at the same time. Meanwhile, it kept the men of the Hall of Returning Nature unharmed. The thousands of good men hadn’t actually gotten into any fights yet. That was a perfect battle strategy!

The two clans had only over eighty men left, and they were all wounded. Although the rain of arrows was going to stop, the two clans weren’t able to face any further attacks anymore!

The absolute power was approaching. The two clans could never survive this on their own!

Was it a dead-end for them?

The Red Phoenix spoke with her elegant voice, “Master Guan, Master Song, I am truly sorry. The Hall of Returning Nature never wanted to do this to you…”

She sighed and said, “After all, you have two great ancestors in your houses. To be honest, we don’t want to provoke the two great men. However, we have a simple reason to do this… We don’t understand… The Great Ye Army wants to rise, and that is reasonable, but why do you have to push others to their deaths?”

Master Guan and Master Song looked at each other. They felt bitterness inside their hearts.

That was a simple reason indeed.

God knew whether it was right or wrong. In fact, men knew it as well!

It was reasonable for anybody to rise, but it was unreasonable for anybody to kill everyone else!

That was unacceptable!

The Great Ye Army became a target for all the others.

Ye Yunduan was too greedy.

The first goal he made was to rule the entire City of Chaos and dispel all the other forces!

That was too domineering. Nobody would accept that. Small forces didn’t dare to mess with the Great Ye Army, so they surrendered. The House of Chaotic Storms, the Hall of Returning Nature, and the Brotherhood Alliance were not some ordinary forces, were they?

Since the Great Ye Army wanted to do this, there was surely a price to pay!

Ye Yunduan’s terrible decision had led the Great Ye Army into a hole surrounded by a lot of enemies.

“We have to follow our leader.” Master Guan sighed.

“Masters, you are wise men. You know why things would develop this way. You know how powerful the Hall of Returning Nature is. Do you really think the Great Ye Army can defeat us?”

The Red Phoenix blandly smiled and arrogantly said, “To be frank, the Great Ye Army is just a bunch of ignorant fools compared to any of the great forces in the world. You can easily bully the weak, but you must be dreaming if you want to conquer the world! You have disgraced yourselves!”

Master Song coldly smiled and said, “He who wins is always right. That is all. There is no point in talking about what is right or wrong. We are enemies. Talking is never the solution to this problem. Nobody knows who will eventually win the last laugh!”

“Really?” The Red Phoenix laughed. She touched her hair in a flirtatious way and said with a big smile, “Well then… brothers, let’s show Master Song who has the last laugh!”

She gave an order, and nearly six thousand cultivators started to approach. That was such a strong power that could oppress like a huge mountain.

Master Guan held a long saber in his hand, standing straight up. His face was calm and solemn.

“Master Guan, we are enemies, but I do respect you.” The Red Phoenix moved forward, spreading that special scent. “You are going to die here, and we won’t humiliate you… We will spare your son and send him back to your clan. This is my respect to the great ancestor of the Guan Clan… We are enemies, but I won’t be pushing your entire clan into their deaths. I think your great ancestor won’t really get furious about what we did. After all, I saved your bloodline…”

The two old masters looked at each other. They didn’t believe the enemies would actually spare the young generation to avoid provoking the great ancestor. They were enemies, so it was reasonable that they would kill them all. However, the two old masters were the chiefs of two clans. The great ancestors would definitely avenge them. However, if the Hall of Returning Nature kindly saved the young generation of the clans, the great ancestors shouldn’t fight back! What the Red Phoenix did was to sentence the two old masters to their deaths!

That was a very well-thought-out plan

Master Guan knew that it was done, so he angrily shouted and said, “Come here and fight!”

He slightly moved his saber, and the blade suddenly shined a glaring light. Master Guan and the saber in his hand became a broad stream of shooting light like a bolt of lightning flashing in the sky!

As he dashed out, his blood abruptly rushed out from the wounds on his body.

He was wounded, and the way he moved pushed the blood out.

He was seizing the time he had left to fight! Once the blood was drained, he would die!

The Red Phoenix did not move aside. She played a long red ribbon, which flew out like a rainbow covering the sky. “Master Guan, you are quite a powerful cultivator. If you were at your prime, I would have to step away. However, you are not a threat to me anymore. Let me send you to your death now!”

Master Guan looked calm and cold. He didn’t speak a word. The glow of the moon and sun shined again. The saber strike slashed down, and he was trying to kill the woman!

The Red Phoenix kept dashing in the air, and the long red ribbon was like a dragon rushing toward the old man. Suddenly, it wrapped the saber!

The saber shined again and got rid of the ribbon. However, the ribbon kept approaching, wrapping the saber up again and again.

The rainbow was actually covering the glow of the saber!

Master Guan had used his full power to make that last attack, but he was dying. It failed to push the Red Phoenix back even a bit!

As time passed by, when Master Guan used up the last bit of his energy, he would die!
