Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258: Provocation
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue felt lost when Xiao Monarch didn’t even look at them before he left, but they could understand. Xiao Monarch had saved them and their son Ye Xiao twice, so they figured they should show their gratitude. However, they finally got to see Xiao Monarch again but failed to seize the opportunity to say thanks. How could they not feel lost? Then, they thought deeper about it. Xiao Monarch was a super-level cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm, one of the most influential figure. Now, he was back to the world after all the years when people thought he was dead and became even stronger than ever. Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were only two small figures in the world, so they understood that Xiao Monarch wouldn’t pay much attention to them!

[He is too powerful to care about our gratitude!]

“Let’s go.”

Yue Shuang said, “I am afraid there is still a long way to reach Oracle District. We must not waste time here.” Then, she took out some dan beads and handed them out to the others.

Ye Nantian, Yue Gongxue, and the two maids didn’t get severely wounded, but they were all injured. Each of them was suffering from an internal injury. They were so weak that even the trails of the top-level Dao Origin Stage enemy’s attacks could hurt them!

“Our savior was right before my eyes, yet I couldn’t seize the chance to show my gratitude and respect… How am I supposed to live with this regret…” Ye Nantian made a long sigh.

“Perhaps he has something else important to do. Besides, he never has a favorable personality.” Yue Han tried to explain for her brother, “The entire Qing-Yun Realm is going to fall to the calamity. It is not just concerning a few people or a few sects… I am afraid every sect, everybody in the world will have to face the disaster and splash blood. As a member of the righteous people in Qing-Yun Realm, he must be busy trying to do something about it.”

“Xiao Monarch is such a potent figure in the world. He has bigger issues to care about, naturally, he has no time to pay attention to small figures like us…” Yue Gongxue seemed much more understanding, so she tried to console Ye Nantian.

Ye Nantian nodded and tried to ignore the doubt in his heart. [Why do I feel so familiar with him?]

[It is lucky that I didn’t mention the weird feeling of mine to anybody. Otherwise, they might think that I am trying to get closer to Xiao Monarch. I know they would think so, even though they wouldn’t say it out. Xiao Monarch and I are both named Ye, but it didn’t mean we are connected!]

After thinking about how Xiao Monarch had been cold to him, he believed what he felt was merely his own wishful thinking…

The six of them packed up the belongings and got back on the road. They moved faster on the way to Oracle District this time.

After all the dangerous battles, they had lost a good mood to enjoy the views. All they wanted was to reach Oracle District as soon as possible.

…

On top of a big mountain.

Ye Xiao, Li Wuliang, and Han Bingxue were shocked.

They had five enemies alive, yet they actually didn’t get anything useful from the questioning, even though Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang had used some horrible interrogation methods!

The three of them had tortured the five men for a long time. Ye Xiao had used some supreme dan beads several times to bring them back from death and continued the questioning…

Even though the five men in black clothes were all begging for death because of the extreme pain, none of them answered any questions.

Ye Xiao was shocked and a bit frightened, the same as Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue.

First, they were impressed by the five men’s integrity. Second, they were astonished by the secret organization’s power and influence!

What kind of organizations could train so many cultivators who would unflinchingly do self-sacrifice?

“They are all tough men… Let’s not torture them anymore. Just give them a quick death.” Ye Xiao sighed.

Li Wuliang had been thinking about it earlier, so he immediately walked over with the saber in hand and said, “Guys, let me send you away.”

He paused and then spoke in admiration, “You are all unyielding men! I, Li Wuliang, respect you! I hope that we can be friends in the next life, so we don’t have to fight each other.”

One of the men in black suits looked downhearted, but responded, “Well, if I have another life, I will still try my best to kill you!”

“We will still be enemies!”

“Hahahaha…”

The five men in black clothes laughed together.

Li Wuliang swiftly moved his saber, and then the five of them all got hit in the heart.

“Every one of them deserved a full body.” Li Wuliang made a sigh and said in a low voice, “Such tough men! Why were they a part of that evil organization… What a shame…”

Ye Xiao quietly said, “I think you will find a lot of the same kind in that secret organization.”

He looked away in the distance and thought about Master Bai.

[Only the House of Chaotic Storms has the power to make such firm control over these men.]

[Only Master Bai has the power to build a great organization like this! The problem is… something changed.]

In the end, the three of them together buried the five men’s bodies.

“Let’s go.”

…

They had changed a place to stay but still couldn’t stop feeling depressed.

“You, my brother… How come you improved so fast?” Li Wuliang looked at Ye Xiao in confusion. “The last time I met you was a few months ago, wasn’t it? You were only in Dream Origin Stage, a weak little shrimp. Look at you now, back to the old days! You are even doing better now than before…”

[Little shrimp…]

Ye Xiao was pretty wordless about such a comment. Although deep in his heart, he knew Li Wuliang was telling the truth, it was uncomfortable to hear such words slipping out frankly!

“I have my own plan!” Ye Xiao humphed and said, “Bingxue, how about a good chance to give a lesson to this guy who has a big mouth?”

Han Bingxue had felt himself being full of strength but had no way to use the power since he got boosted in cultivation. Besides, he was fully contented because he had just operated an excellent sword strike which amazed many people. Even though Li Wuliang had been significantly improved too when Han Bingxue saw Li Wuliang, he thought that the two of them could be equal rivals, so he had been thinking about having a fight against Li Wuliang for a long time. As Ye Xiao told him to start the fight, he only felt overjoyed to accept it.

“Holy hell, Xiao Xiao! Are you kidding me?” Li Wuliang looked at Ye Xiao and Han BIngxue like looking at two stupid fools, and said, “I may be interested if you are going to fight me yourself. But… You actually let Han Bingxue do it? He? A second-rate low cultivator? And… Did you say he would give a lesson to me?”

“That’s right! He will!” Ye Xiao said!

“That’s right! He will!” Han Bingxue said the same words at the same time.

They actually spoke the same at the same time.

However, Ye Xiao was trying to provoke Li Wuliang, while Han Bingxue was simply gloating and pretending…

Han Bingxue wanted to have the fight so much, so he stared at Li Wuliang and pretentiously said, “Li Li, come on, I wasn’t your rival in the past. I know. It’s true. But those days are gone. Now, to defeat somebody like you, it is as simple as catching my own c*ck in my crotch. I don’t even need to make the slightest effort!”

[Li Li?]

Li Wuliang nearly exploded in fury when Han Bingxue spoke out the embarrassing nickname… Even Ye Xiao was pretty speechless about it. They both wanted to rush over and beat the arrogant man up hard.

When Han Bingxue was gloating, he could blow himself up and even forget his own name.

Nobody ever dared to call Li Wuliang that embarrassing nickname after his twentieth birthday.

Li Li sounded too much like a girl’s name… Lily…

That was exactly the same!

Li Li was a name full of femininity that Li Wuliang never liked. It had been the taboo for everybody who knew Li Wuliang. Even Ye Xiao wouldn’t dare to say that unless he was so mad that he had lost his mind.

Whoever dared to say Li Li for whatever reason would definitely get beaten up by Li Wuliang!

Now, the crazy Han Bingxue mindlessly said it out loud.

Li Wuliang’s hair nearly stood on end because of fury.

That was not the only point Han Bingxue had made though.

[What the f*ck did he just say? It is as simple as catching his own c*ck in his crotch to defeat somebody like me?]

Li Wuliang was raging up!

[Han Bingxue, you f*cking bastard! What did you just say? Did you just compare me to your… p*nis?]

[This is unacceptable… unforgivable!]

[This can not be done!]

[You are not going to get away from this!]

“Fine! I accept your challenge!” Li Wuliang showed a full face of killing intent. His dark-skinned face had turned even darker.

Even Ye Xiao had never seen him so mad before.

It seemed Han Bingxue had really touched Li Wuliang’s nerves.

At this awkward moment, Ye Xiao didn’t dare to mediate in the horrible conflict. He couldn’t because what Han Bingxue said was truly annoying. Even though he didn’t really mean it, he still annoyed Li Wuliang. He should know where to stop the sneer, but he didn’t, so he had to be punished in some way. It just didn’t feel right if he didn’t get punished for what he had said!

After they met each other again, Ye Xiao hadn’t seen Li Wuliang’s real power. However, he knew that Han Bingxue was not a rival to Li Wuliang, even though the former had been boosted in cultivation.

First of all, Han Bingxue lacked experience and a stronger mindset, even though his cultivation had been improved. Deep inside his heart, he was just a high-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator…

That was a weak point of him.

Second, Ye Xiao had shared the knowledge of Tittle Phase to Li Wuliang when they last met each other. Li Wuliang had been working on merging the two different kinds of powers and training his own mindset for a long time. Ye Xiao didn’t know how powerful Li Wuliang had become, but he was certain that Li Wuliang had entered the Tittle Phase. That meant Li Wuliang was much stronger than Han Bingxue in full aspects!

In fact, when Ye Xiao suggested the fight, he wanted Li Wuliang to give a lesson to Han Bingxue and help him improve his mindset so that Han Bingxue could become a true top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator soon…

What he didn’t expect was… What was going to happen would not only meet his expectation… but overdo it…

If Li Wuliang didn’t get satisfied by only giving a lesson to Han Bingxue and eventually made the lesson the last lesson Han Bingxue could have for the rest of his life… that wouldn’t be good…

Ye Xiao was frightened, so he hurriedly said, “Guys! Let’s find somewhere else to do this, shall we? This is not a good place for a fight…”

The three of them went to the top of a big mountain. Li Wuliang waved his hand, and the upper half of the mountain was chopped away. What was left in that area was a big flat platform. He pointed at Han Bingxue with the saber and shouted, “Han Bingxue, you f*cker! Get your ass over here!”

Han Bingxue took a long cold breath. He just saw how Li Wuliang casually chopped off a mountain by one hand, and the upper part of the mountain was still flying in the sky… Han Bingxue was blank, so he said, “Well… Do you… Do you have to be… this violent…”

When he finished the last word, the flying part of the mountain finally hit the floor and made a massive wave of rolling dust in the air.

Cutting off the mountain was not the most substantial proof of Li Wuliang’s oppressive power, but moving the mountain away!

Compared to this crazy saber strike which had just cut off half of a big mountain, Han Bingxue’s excellent sword strike in the Dark Forest seemed to be not so excellent!

Ye Xiao waved his sleeve and swept away the dust.

A man of judgment would praise the sleeve strike Ye Xiao just did. It looked like sweeping the dust in the air but, in fact, was weakening the blast of the flying mountain before it hit the ground. The most amazing part of it was that he did it in a casual way. The sleeve strike was absolutely more powerful than Li Wuliang’s saber strike!

“Violent? That was violent to you? Not even close!” Li Wuliang cruelly looked at Han Bingxue and said, “Just so you know, I haven’t started to be violent yet!”

Han Bingxue immediately swallowed saliva because of the rising fear in his heart. He said, “I mean, Brother Li… We are just going to compare notes of our understanding of martial arts… Hahaha… As simple as that! Please remember not to take it too seriously… Heh, heh…”

“Oh? Didn’t somebody just call me Li Li? Now I become Brother Li? Really? Don’t you think it is a little bit late for that?” Li Wuliang showed a cold face and said, “Li Li cannot bear the honor to be called brother by the great Unique in the World!”

Han Bingxue showed a bitter expression on his pretty face and turned around to look at Ye Xiao, hoping that Ye Xiao would say something to help him.

However, Ye Xiao immediately raised his head to look at the sky, apparently ignoring Han Bingxue like he didn’t see him.

[Well, if I called him that, he would probably take it as a joke between brothers… He called me Xiao Xiao all the time anyway… However, you have gone too far and touched a nerve of him…]

[Every Chinese dragon has a reverse scale that nobody should touch.]

[Li Wuliang is totally in fury… There is no way to calm him down at the moment. Do you think I would be so stupid to try to hold him off? You are an erhuo, and I don’t want to be another erhuo!]

[Hey! How many times do I have to warn you? Do not use my great name on that stupid prick! Erhuo should be the most beautiful compliment in the world!] Erhuo was pissed!

Han Bingxue was pitifully looking at Ye Xiao, and then finally couldn’t help burst into a cry, “Boss…”

“Yes. Go on! Cry for his help! It won’t make any difference! I can assure you!” Li Wuliang approached with the saber in hand, “Han Bingxue, this is never done until you behave yourself like the p*nis in my pants!”

When he said so, he glanced at Ye Xiao and felt pretty annoyed by him all of a sudden. [Why does everything have to go wrong when I am with Ye Xiao…]

[All kinds of weird things keep happening to me… A few days ago, one of his followers actually took me as a fat sheep and then treated me as some stupid old beggar… He wanted to rob me in the first place, yet turned out he wanted to help me in the end…]

[I can’t believe that has actually happened on me…]
