Realms In The Firmament

As expected, Li Clan and Ye Clan started a debate. It was a fight of words now.

In the end, Ye Tianchen ended the debate with the last statement.

”If you Li Clan truly won’t agree, I will declare war. We will fight against Li Clan from now on until the last person of us dies!” Ye Tianchen coldly said, ”Let’s just splash the blood here. You are going to cut off our path to life after all. We will not let you go. If we are going to hell, you are coming with us. Nobody enters the third layer alone! Nobody keeps the treasure alone!”

He left Li Clan people no other choice but only to give in. Ye Clan was threatening them with their lives. If Li Clan didn’t give in, it would lead to a fatal combat. It was always said that the sorrowful side always won. However, even if Li Clan won the fight, there was no prize for the winner.

After a debate, an agreement was eventually made. Each clan would send ten people to enter Heaven Treasure Mountain at the same time.

Li Clan people led the way.

No matter where they were going, nobody should start a fight. Ye Tianchen was not allowed to enter.

Li Clan people insisted that Ye Tianchen stayed outside.

Ye Tianchen certainly couldn’t go for fairness. He was much more powerful than others. If he got in, he could kill Li Clan’s ten people immediately. All the treasures would become Ye Clan’s. That would leave no arguments! All Li Clan did would be helping Ye Clan.

Ye Tianchen agreed.

In fact, he knew that Li Clan would never let him enter. It was meaningless to argue for that.

In fact, when they were negotiating, none of them ever asked for Ye Xiao’s opinion.

Ye Xiao was shocked.

He never expected things to change like this.

If Zuo Wuji was here, he would probably be impressed by the two clans. People on both sides were good at being politicians, changing their views according to circumstances, and circumventing for their own interests… Any of the two clans could rule a kingdom in the Land of Han-Yang, even conquer the world!

What Ye Xiao had been planning was to let Li Clan people lead him into the mountain and then he would kill all the Li Clan people in there, maybe to hand them over to the beasts…

Now that the two clans were going in together, how could he proceed such a plan?

Should he kill them all? Was it appropriate?

For strangers, he truly didn’t have compassion, but he wasn’t always a merciless person. Besides, Ye Clan was more or less related to him!

As the two clans had reached the same conclusion, he figured he shouldn’t be a dissenter. He rubbed the nose and blandly said yes, but he made a condition.

”The three of us will go together.” Ye Xiao looked at Han Bingxue and Xuan Bing.

”Yes!”

”I am not going in.”

Two voices sounded at the same time. They were shocked.

Han Bingxue would love to go. It was Xuan Bing who wouldn’t.

Ye Tianchen’s face twitched.

[How come his attendants have different views.]

Xuan Bing looked at Ye Xiao and said, ”I have been there too many times. I am not interested.”

Ye Xiao was enlightened. He realized he was being stupid.

Misty Cloud Palace was badly in need of Regeneration Ink Lotus. They needed it to save their lives. Xuan Bing was the Prime Elder of Misty Cloud Palace, the most powerful figure, of course, she had already been to this mountain by herself. She must be quite familiar with this place. She must have searched every inch of this mountain except the area on top of the mountain which wasn’t accessible.

Ye Xiao had such a powerful figure beside him, yet he actually looked for support from others. What he had planned was just a fruitless and redundant approach. He did want to seek for other things from the mountain, but that wasn’t the point…

He looked at those men of Li Clan and Ye Clan. He thought, [They are probably going to waste their time. Xuan Bing must have searched every inch of this place for several times… It is very likely that there is no Regeneration Ink Lotus inside anymore…]

He was smart, but he didn’t fully understand what Xuan Bing was thinking.

She didn’t want to go because first of all, she had been there for too many times; second… it was Ye Xiao’s blessed fortune since he was the only person who sensed the energy!

Xuan Bing wanted Ye Xiao to take the blessed opportunity himself. If she went with them, even though Ye Xiao didn’t know she was Bing’er, he would still share some of whatever he found to her!

She surely would love to have it, but she knew that Ye Xiao needed it more than her!

That was why Xuan Bing didn’t want to go. [I don’t want any of it. I want you to have it all!]

In fact, she didn’t want Han Bingxue to get in either. However, she was concerned that Ye Xiao might need help when he got in.

Han Bingxue could keep Ye Xiao safe in case anything happened!

So she didn’t stop Han Bingue.

Otherwise, Xuan Bing would rather disable Han Bingxue immediately than let him follow Ye Xiao into the mountain and share the profits…

Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue were going in. However, Li Clan and Ye Clan both had conflicts among themselves. Everybody wanted to get in. They nearly started an internal fight.

However, they came to a final decision eventually.

Ye Clan sent ten middle-aged men, who were all energetic and spirited. Ye Xiao glanced at them and looked away. Ye Nantian wasn’t there.

None of the ten men looked a bit like Ye Nantian.

He figured that he should make sure which group were the ten middle-aged men from. It concerned his safety after all!

”You must be the elites of Ye Clan, all of you?” Ye Xiao casually asked, ”Which group are you from?”

Ye Tianchen was surprised. He looked at Ye Xiao and smiled. ”They are all from second and fourth. They might not be that powerful, but they are not bad.”

Li Clan had chosen ten people. They were walking over.

They looked at each other. None of them disagreed with the leadership’s decision. They looked at Ye Xiao, wanting to see if Ye Xiao had any other opinion.

Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts. [These men lead my father into such a difficulty. Should I find a chance to feed the beasts inside with these men?]

[Li Clan’s ten people must also be some vile figures. Should I just let them die in it too? To bury some more men with the dead men from my own clan. It sounds fair!]

The flame of fierceness was rising in Ye Xiao’s heart. He had come up with dozens of evil ideas in his head in a short time. Every idea could make the twenty people die in pieces in the Mountain of All Medicines!
