Realms In The Firmament

Ye Shangxin sighed. He seemed upset. ”It is full of treasures. That is not a lie. However, one could only risk his life to prove it. It is mostly just an attempt, not an exchange, because even if you give up your life in there, you may still not be able to get the materials back.”

”There is one thing that is strange. The fog is much denser than the first layer. Our vision will be restricted.” He turned to Ye Xiao and said, ”Brother, you said you have once entered the third layer… I wonder if what I said is right?”

Ye Xiao nodded and blandly said, ”That’s true. But… I am afraid it is much more dangerous than you think… According to what I have experienced in there, I reckoned those people that you mentioned who survived didn’t really go far in it before they started to run out. They simply stopped when they realized it was too dangerous. That was the right thing to do after all. They were risking their lives. It was clever to give up when they realized the danger.”

Ye Shangxin took a breath of relief and said, ”I see. After all, the third layer is too dangerous.”

”The experience of Ye Clan people surely helps me a lot. However, as far as I know about the third layer, there may not be many Regeneration Ink Lotus. I can understand your expectation, but I am afraid you will be disappointed if you wish for too much!” Ye Xiao was being frank.

The men of both clans all stayed silent.

Suddenly, the twenty men started to stare at each other with viciousness in the eyes.

Ye Xiao just took a smart move to stir up the tension among the two clans by saying those words.

’There may not be many Regeneration Ink Lotus.’

It was true. Although he hadn’t really been to the third layer, he knew that Xuan Bing had been there many times. Since Xuan Bing had entered the third layer, she definitely would focus on the lotus. How many Regeneration Ink lotus would be left after her visits then?

Ye Xiao figured it wouldn’t be a lot!

However, the question wasn’t truly about ’not many’.

Not many…

What did that mean?

First of all, he indicated that there were Regeneration Ink Lotus. Second, he wanted them to know that there were not many left.

If there were many, the two clans would just be busy collecting the lotuses. Maybe one would get more than the other, and some of them would feel annoyed, but nothing serious would happen.

The ’not many’ brought up a big problem now…

As Ye Xiao knew, there would be just a few lotuses left.

Since there were only a few… it was most likely that none of the two clans could get enough lotuses as they were required to. They would think of snatching the lotuses from one another!

No matter what the result would be, whoever got all the lotuses would become the winner!

The twenty men were all considering the same thing. They were thinking about how to kill the other ten people to keep them in this place!

They had to kill all ten. If any one of the ten survived, things would go chaotic. It had to be a wipe-out!

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up too. He suddenly spoke in a deep voice, ”When we came in, you two clans had a deal. You can’t fight in here!”

Ye Shangxin spoke, ”Heh, heh!”

Li Chongshan said, ”Haha!”

Ye Xiao rubbed the nose and said, ”Fine. Let me see if I can get you all in. This is what we should do in priority.”

Apparently, the two men of the two clans had made up their minds. Once they got into this place, what they promised outside didn’t mean anything anymore…

Ye Xiao went to the entrance and closed his eyes as if he was thinking. In fact, he was trying to recall something. He noticed the Manifestation Mystic Array had changed again.

Some changes were so strange to him even though he knew so well about how the array changed.

At the moment, Ye Clan people were standing beside him while the Li Clan were behind. Li Chongshan now understood why Ye Shangxin kept teasing him. He just wanted to take his place to be the guide.

Now it was obvious. He wanted to be the guide because when Ye Xiao opened the entrance to the third layer, Ye Clan people could go with him in advance.

Li Clan people were staying in a negative position. No matter how fast they moved, they had to wait until Ye Clan’s men all got in!

It was just a short time, but it was a very important difference. If there were Regeneration Ink Lotus inside, this difference would lead to a certain result. Ye Clan wouldn’t have enough time to notice the lotus and collect it…

Even if there were beasts protecting the lotuses, they could even collect the lotus and ran away fast, even leaving the beasts to deal with the men behind them. That would create a horrible situation for Li Clan people…

If that happened, Li Clan’s ten people would be serving Ye Clan’s interests. They might even get themselves killed by the beasts. They would fail to get any profits!

”Ye Shangxin, you vile bastard! Now I know what you are!” Li Chongshan scolded while gritting his teeth.

Ye Xiao casually put both his hands into the fog that separated the second layer from the third layer. He moved his hands slowly and then asked, ”By the way, according to what you said, there are people among you who once have entered this place before. Why can’t they do it again now? It doesn’t make sense.”

Ye Shangxin said, ”Those who entered this place all did it by accident. In recent years, the array on the mountain changes frequently. The methods that might lead us in are now all useless.”

Ye Xiao said, ”Oh?”

”Besides, even if we did go in, it might not be a good thing. After all, there are level nine spiritual beasts according to the myth. Nobody wants to go in there to risk their lives unless there is no other choice… Please be careful too, master,” the more Ye Shangxin explained, the harder it was to make it reasonable. He couldn’t justify his story.

However, Ye Xiao just smiled. He apparently didn’t care at all!

[Be careful?]

[That is not something you can keep away by just being careful!]

There are many spiritual beasts in Qing-Yun Realm. Normally, a level seven spiritual beast was equally powerful as a level three of four Dream Origin Stage cultivator. It wasn’t that terrifying. However, a level nine spiritual beast was equal to a Dao Origin Stage cultivator.

A beast at the peak of level nine could be as powerful as a level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivator!

There were also hyper-nine spiritual beasts…

Hyper-nine beasts were rare. Ye Xiao hadn’t seen any before. However, a hyper-nine beast should be as powerful as Han Bingxue or Xiao Monarch in his previous life!
