Realms In The Firmament

”Good. Great!” Cheng Bingmei gritted her teeth.

She didn’t know which side she was talking to.

What filled her heart was an absurd feeling of things changing yet people remaining. In the old days, whenever she wanted to humiliate Ye Clan, she only needed to say a few words.

However, when she was facing Ye Clan people now, she couldn’t do anything to them!

Ye Clan people were uncompromising!

Now, she was the one who was humiliated!

”Today, Misty Cloud Palace and Cold Moon Palace strongly disgraced us. We won’t forget this. Let’s go!” Cheng Bingmei’s face turned dark. She waved his hand and decided to leave after all the humiliation.

She decided to take revenge someday in the future!

She didn’t believe the two great forces would keep protecting Ye Clan all the time. There would be a day she could take her revenge!

”Wait!”

Ye Xiao blandly said.

”What do you want?” Cheng Bingmei turned around and stared at Ye Xiao viciously.

Ye Xiao raised up his head, stared back into Cheng Bingmei’s eyes with a pair of ice eyes, and spoke slowly, ”Please take my words to your Prime Master. Soon, I will go to Qiong-Hua Palace for a visit. That will be the day I pick up my mother.”

He sounded plain as if he was just informing.

That was all.

Cheng Bingmei sneered, ”Pick her up? You want to take her back? Who do you think you are? Where do you think you are going?”

Ye Xiao didn’t answer. He just spoke in a low voice, ”Here are several more words. Tell all the people in Qiong-Hua Palace that they should be nice to my mother. That’s all.”

”What if we won’t?” Cheng Bingmei’s eyes were full of anger. She spoke in provocation.

Ye Xiao blandly said, ”You will know what. But I assure you that you don’t want to know!”

A frosty beam of dazzling light burst out of his eyes.

The cold killing intent in his eyes almost became solid. He just stared at Cheng Bingmei.

At that moment, Cheng Bingmei only trembled and felt agitated.

[He is weaker than me. I know it. I won’t pay him a compliment. However, that gaze of him, it gives me the feeling like god was talking to me, even making a promise to me.]

[Only one promise.]

Ye Xiao didn’t say the words, but that gaze had shown her enough information.

’If you won’t be nice to my mother, I will slaughter every single one of you in Qiong-Hua Palace!’

That was true!

Cheng Bingmei should be disdainful about it.

Everybody knew how to play tough. The weak ones always play tough in front of the strong! It was just a useless attitude!

However, after feeling the gaze of Ye Xiao, she didn’t know what happened to her. She actually felt scared.

It felt like her heart was freezing.

After a trance, she realized she actually didn’t doubt that he could actually do what he wanted to do.

She actually believed that he could do it!

There was no reason.

She just believed it!

And then she also realized that she had taken three steps back while in a trance!

She had been frightened by just a gaze!

She was scared from deep in her heart!

After being stunned for a few moments, her face turned red. She tried so hard to suppress the fear in her heart, and pretentiously shouted in anger, ”How dare you! I would love to see what is the thing that you can do but I don’t want to know! We will meet again!”

Then she waved her hand and flew up like a piece of white cloud. Behind her, eight ladies in white clothes followed up. Suddenly, they all disappeared into the clouds.

After moving away hundreds of miles, Cheng Bingmei, who had finally calmed down, realized that her back was soaked with sweat. She knew she must have a really pathetic at the moment!

As she gave it a second thought, she stopped.

”Saintess, what do we do now?” A lady in white clothes asked her.

Cheng Bingmei took a deep breath and thought for a while. In the end, she blandly answered, ”We return to the palace!”

In her eyes, there was only a complicated expression. Sometimes, it was a vicious glare, which was extremely terrifying.

…

From the beginning to the end, it didn’t take long. Qiong-Hua Palace’s ladies came fiercely and left in peace.

Misty Cloud Palace and Cold Moon Palace were left in a warm atmosphere, saying some formulae that nobody truly believed.

Ye Clan people were jubilant after the shadow of death just ended.

People in the other clans were all showing complex expression in the face.

They all knew that after today, there was nobody in Oracle District that could possibly stop Ye Clan from rising!

No clan could be powerful enough to fight against Ye Clan!

Ye Clan would become the only great force in Oracle District afterward!

Things were all sorted out. With the support of Misty Cloud Palace and Cold Moon Palace, even Qiong-Hua Palace couldn’t afford to mess with them, let alone the other native clans!

In such an atmosphere, to mess with Ye Clan was to mess with death!

The leaders of the other clans all had mixed feelings in the heart. They went over to congratulate Ye Clan, in an obviously more respectful way. Before what happened, they were in equal positions with Ye Clan people. In fact, they even felt like looking down upon Ye Clan people.

Now, they could only look up with respect.

Ye Nantian didn’t pretend to be polite. He blandly responded to the other clans and made sure everybody was answered. However, he made sure nobody felt any emotion from him.

The feeling of distance that the people of other clans felt from Ye Nantian had made Ye Clan’s position rise.

Ye Nantian was once a great general. He was good at socializing with the officials in court. He knew how to seize an opportunity. Besides, nowadays, he had known much more about human’s evil nature.

If he acted like Ye Shuxin, the others wouldn’t feel his friendliness or kindness. Instead, they would curse him and look down upon Ye Clan.

He had the absolute surpassing power at the moment. Ye Clan took all the advantages. He didn’t need to pretend to be modest. Nobody liked it!

Instead, he apparently showed his prestige. It suppressed down the others in social positions, and also gradually took control of them at the same time.

Those who wouldn’t bend their knees would be destroyed, while those who obeyed would become Ye Clan’s appendages.

To act along the flow of the situation and hit the opponent with the borrowed power was always an essential strategy in battles. Ye Nantian was a great general, so he was well aware of it!

Ye Nantian understood it clearly. Whatever he did now would become the foundation for the great future of Ye Clan!
