Realms In The Firmament

Ye Xiao was too weak, yet because of the good luck, he held on till the present!

However, he didn’t know how lucky he was. He didn’t know any change in his body. He didn’t even feel anything.

Far away from him.

In a luxury hall in a universe of the void, several men were sitting together. One man among them was wearing black clothes who had a handsome face. On both his sides, there were two men wearing white and black. Six more men were behind him. Every one of them looked handsome and outstanding. They were all staring at the image in the screen in front of them.

In the screen, it was the image of what happened to Ye Xiao.

Unlike Ye Xiao who had no idea what kind of a fatal danger he had fallen in, the nine people here knew everything about Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was covered in blood. All the veins in his body exploded, as well as his Jing and Mai.

If his inner breath stopped and the pulsation in his Jing and Mai slowed down, he might not only die immediately but also be reversely impacted by his own spiritual qi and be atomized.

However, there was only the expression of being shocked on his face, nothing more. He had no sense to any of the pain on himself.

Apparently, he was lost in the delusion.

He could resist it a little bit because of the influence of those enormous scenes. However, the scenes that were displayed to him were too astonishing. That weak resistance of him couldn’t help him much. He was not totally lost, but it was already difficult for him to get out.

The man who stood beside the man in black clothes and also wore black clothes had a pair of cold and sharp eyes. He was the man who struck that marvelous sword attack earlier. He blandly took a breath and didn’t say anything.

The other man standing on the other side of the man in black had been smiling all the time as if nothing could truly bother him.

”It seems there is nothing to be done. Nothing can save him now.” Among the crowd, a young man in white clothes sighed. He looked extremely handsome, actually even prettier than a girl.

Another man frowned and said, ”How come? He is the chosen one after all. How can he fail in only recognizing the delusion? The only practical resistance was made by his special martial art. Now, he is totally soaked in… Isn’t it… Isn’t it too weak?”

A young man in blue clothes laughed and said, ”Indeed! If I were him, I would have passed this long ago.”

”Get away!”

A few other men shouted in anger at the same time. ”Look how old you are? When you are at his age, would you still talk boldly like this?”

Another young man smiled wickedly and said, ”How many other young men could actually pass this one, except me, Ji Mo? Brothers, just admit your failure. Come on. Should you fulfill your promises?”

A slim young man suddenly showed a gloomy face and started to sigh.

”It is still too early to judge. It isn’t the end yet. Let’s kept watching.” The man in white clothes warmly smiled. ”You guys are just too impatient.”

The man in black who stood in the middle smiled. ”Wizard is right. There is nothing to be judged until it ends. Be patient.”

He paused for a while and said, ”However… even now, I still believe that man can pass this challenge.”

”Chief, I am submissive to almost everything you say. I would trust you even if you tell me sh*t smells good and rice smells bad. But… I don’t think I will follow your opinion this time. He is now delirious. It is impossible that he can get sober again. What hope does he have? Unless people like us interrupt it, but we are all sitting here watching it, who on earth could interrupt that?” Ji Mo shouted.

The man in black who stood in the middle smiled. ”Ji Mo, if you are so sure about it, why don’t you bet with me?”

The others shouted at once, ”Chief is joining this? Bravo!”

Ji Mo rubbed his head and looked confused. He looked at the image on the screen, in which Ye Xiao was bleeding in the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Ye Xiao looked terrible in the face. He was apparently going to a dead end. There seemed to be nothing that could save him.

Ji Mo hurriedly said with his eyes lit up, ”Chief, are you serious? Even now, you still dare to bet he can pass?”

”Why not?” Chief smiled blandly. ”The question is if you dare to accept it?”

The man who was called Wizard smiled and warned, ”Ji Mo, this is a friendly warning. Our Chief has never lost one bet in his life… You have to think about it really carefully.”

Ji Mo hesitated when he heard Wizard. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, ”Since Chief is so interested in this, I will not disappoint him. However, I have to say one thing first. That man is in a situation that we all can see. He is quite in danger. He would never get away from the Disorientation Array unless somebody who is as powerful as us helps him. We must keep things fair if we bet. If somebody secretly helps him, it breaks the rule. If somebody interrupts it, it breaks the rule. When somebody breaks the rule, it doubles the wager. How about that?”

The others were all shocked when they heard it. Maybe they should see this man differently when they only haven’t seen him for three days? Ji Mo was ruining the last hope of Ye Xiao. Maybe even a fool could get one brilliant idea after coming up with a thousand?

The Chief laughed and said, ”No problem. It should be as you said. I will supervise this. Not only the nine of us are not allowed to help him, but also anybody else! If anybody else helps him, I will take the responsibility!”

Ji Mo was so excited to hear that. He laughed loudly, ”Chief, your word means unbreakable in the witness of the sky and earth. I am going to break your story of invincibility! A deal is a deal!”

The man in black twisted his lips and squinted at Ji Mo. ”Wait. You haven’t told me what is your wager?”

”I will accept anything you want me to bet with! Let’s just hurry!” Ji Mo was a little impatient as he thought this was such a great opportunity. ”Chief, come on. Quick! Make a deal! It is going to be late…”

He was so certain that Ye Xiao could break down at any second. That was why he was so impatient. He was afraid Ye Xiao would explode before his Chief made the deal…

That would mean the bet was off.

Ye Xiao’s life was negligible to Ji Mo, but to defeat his Chief was a great treat!
