Realms In The Firmament

Besides, Ye Xiao said that he had more than one Regeneration Ink Lotus. He told them he had collected lots of it from the third layer of the mountain. Li Clan believed the lotuses Ye Xiao had were at least better than normal Regeneration Ink Lotus. In other words, whoever got the support from Ye Xiao would be valued by Misty Cloud Palace.

That was why Li Clan valued Ye Xiao so much that they would rather sacrifice everything to get him!

As long as things developed as they planned, to replace Ye Clan in the martial world would be the least they could gain. Li Clan could be greatly improved in power and become one of the most powerful clans in Oracle District. It was just a piece of cake for Misty Cloud Palace to help any clan achieves such a position!

”What a moron! He has talked to the man for a long time and even made a deal with him, yet he never asked for the man’s name! What an idiot!”

Many of the elders in Li Clan scolded Li Qingzhou.

”Just get into the third layer first. As long as we get into it, that young man won’t be able to get out. Everything on the mountain and everything he has in hand will be ours!”

”Do not alert him!”

…

On the other side.

After Ye Liangchen and his brothers returned to Ye Clan and reported what had happened, they were also scolded real badly.

”Useless! You idiots! You are a pretentious trash! That’s what you are! He is such a blessing from heavens! You actually missed such a great opportunity! And it went to our biggest opponent’s hand!”

”Ye Liangchen, you… the only thing you do is to make trouble for us…”

The swearing voice of the elders of Ye Clan resounded in Ye Liangchen’s ears for a whole night.

”He was on our side at the beginning. He is Ye too. All who are named Ye are families. Maybe we are exactly the same family a few hundred years ago. What a blessing opportunity yet you let it slip away from your fingers. What were you thinking? Do you want Ye Clan to collapse? Like father like son…” The elder who said this nearly spat out blood. He was shaking.

”It would be better if you just missed the opportunity… but you handed it over to Li Clan… I… I… I am going to spit out a mouthful of blood…”

”It is not done yet. We may still have time to make a change… We just need to go over there… Their appointment is tomorrow… We still have the chance to change the result!”

”That’s right! Send every good man we have! We must do everything we can to change the result!”

”Better do it soon!”

”Quick!”

”Urh… Well… What about the first branch and the third… Should they come with us?”

”You idiot! Have you lost your mind too? They come with us? Do you want to give them a chance to rise again?”

”Urh… You are right, Elder…”

Ye Clan also gathered a group of capable men to go toward Ye Xiao.

As expected, they encountered Li Clan’s men on the way. Li Clan was waiting there to stop Ye Clan. They would never let them pass!

Li Clan had sent out every man they had for the fight. They wouldn’t step back a bit.

Ye Clan people would fight to win or die. They wouldn’t let the last opportunity go away just like that…

That fight was so dramatic. It darkened the sky… Wait, the sky was dark because if was late at night…

…

It was a long night for Ye Xiao, for Li Clan, and also for Ye Clan. In fact, it happened to also be a long night for some other people in the realm…

For example…

Jun Yinglian was standing on top of a mountain, wearing all white clothes. Her eyes were full of amazement.

During the day, when she was running away fast after killing several disciples of the three factions, she glanced at a man… The man’s appearance nearly made her lose manner!

The man was about a thousand meters away, so he didn’t notice her. He was walking through the forest in a casual way. It seemed he was looking for somebody…

Jun Yinglian saw that man from more than a thousand meters away and nearly freaked out.

She didn’t have a weak heart. That man just touched the softest part of her heart!

His shape and face looked too familiar for her!

Ye Xiao!

It was exactly Ye Xiao’s body and face!

Jun Yinglian was stunned when he appeared in her sight. Then she staggered in dizziness and leaned on a tree with tears on her cheeks.

When she calmed down and wanted to find that man, he had disappeared.

She could have found him if she insisted.

She had reached the top of level nine of Dao Origin Stage. Her powerful spiritual mind could find him as long as he stayed inside a thousand miles away. It would be rather easy.

Besides, he was only a thousand meters away. It was just in a few seconds, the man could never go away too far!

However, she didn’t get on searching right away.

She just kept thinking.

[Is it him?]

[Is it?]

[Was I having an illusion?]

[Was I in the dream again?]

She had been dreaming about him for so many times. She also had been disappointed too many times after the dreams. She didn’t dare to try looking for that man because she didn’t want to be disappointed again.

”He is dead. All the superior cultivators witnessed his death. His body was broken. His soul was gone. He is never going to return… How could he still be alive? How could he appear in my sight again!”

”People don’t lie about his death. What was going on just now?”

”That man is weak in cultivation.”

”Does he just look like Xiao?”

She stood there quietly in the wind. Her eyes were filled with grief.

”No matter what, I have to figure out the truth… I want to know… if that man is…” She flew up like a weightless feather and then disappeared in the darkness of the night.

She was approaching somewhere silently…

While she was flying, her face was suddenly covered by a black silk mask… Her clothes strangely became all black like the night all of a sudden…

Jun Yinglian had a longing deep inside her heart. She even didn’t want to admit it.

That was…

[What if… Ye Xiao didn’t die then? What if he just got seriously injured? What if he just hasn’t recovered yet… Maybe he has been hiding to cure himself till now?]

[Wouldn’t it…]

[Wouldn’t it be…]

She obviously knew that it was absurd to have such a thought. However, when she thought of such a possibility, her heart started to bump fast.
