Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 1511

“I have given everybody some supreme dan beads. I guess it is one of the reasons why you decided to join me. However, the supreme dan beads cannot save those who are dead. Maybe I am good at curing, but I can’t guarantee my men certain’s safety. People die in the battle. Become a member of the Monarch’s Hall may bring you safety for some time, but it is possible that you die in the battles to come. You two are experienced cultivators, so you know that I am just telling the truth!”

“Therefore, I think you should take some time to think about it. There is no need to give me your answer so soon. In the next ten days, the patients will all be well. Ten days later, I will take the money from those who decide to leave and let them make their promises. Those who decide to stay and join us will all be settled here.”

“I won’t give you any advice.”

“Those who want to go are free to go. It is a fair deal. I save their lives, and they do something for me as a return of the favor. It is fair. Those who want to stay must give a second thought about it. Think about what you have to do if you become one of us! Think about what you should do. Think about what you need. Think about what you can do for the department you will be assigned to…”

Ye Xiao was trying to be honest, and he said, “To follow me, to join the Monarch’s Hall, it is a big decision to make in your life. Isn’t it good to have ten days to think about it before making any reckless decision?”

“Since I arrived here, things have become unexpected for me. I had no choice, but decided to use this to recruit more people. To be honest, I don’t feel proud of it. If I keep pushing you guys to join me, well… It won’t make me feel better… Heh heh…”

Ye Xiao paused and smiled. In the end, he casually said, “I am Ye. I can’t do that.”

After that, he left the room while the man and the lady couldn’t stop thanking him.

“Master Ye is honest and honorable. I don’t think he will accept those who don’t devote their full hearts to him. He is such an incredible man.” Meng Youjiang praised.

His wife was cleaning their son’s face. She nodded and said, “That’s true. He is so young, yet he is so experienced, generous, and righteous… He is a good descendant of the great Ye Clan.”

“What do we do then? Should we make our decision ten days after?” Meng Youjiang was not only asking his wife but also asking himself.

Before the lady said anything, he continued saying, “As Master Ye said, the Monarch’s Hall will have to face great dangers and powerful enemies in the future. You and I are both Saint Origin Stage cultivators, and we are not weak, but we won’t be good enough to fight the enemies of Master Ye.

“We may have to fight against those super-powerful sects, and we may even have to fight against the powerful forces of the five sky kings. I can still remember the time when the Great Master Ye fought against the five sky kings. If Master Ye rises, he will have to fight the five sky kings in the end. That will be extremely dangerous…

“However, if we can survive by Master Ye’s side, what we will achieve is incomparable! Besides, he has saved our son.”

“If not for Master Ye, our son must be dead. If our son died, you died…” Meng Youjiang still felt frightened about it. “If I lost both my wife and my son, what is the point to live alone in this cruel world?”

His wife looked at him softly and said, “Why do you hesitate then?”

“It is decided. I am not hesitating anymore!” Meng Youjiang clapped and said solemnly, “We have made the decision!”

After ten days.

As Ye Xiao expected, all the patients had recovered from their severe wounds. Everybody was well.

As soon as they were well, they moved out of the rooms for patients in the fortress of trees. Their friends, families, were all so excited and happy.

The ten days were like a nightmare for everybody. Now they were awake, and the world was still beautiful.

In their dreams, they were miserable. Their heads were broken. A big hole was in the chest. Their inner organs were in a mess. Every wound could have killed them. However, in the dream, they seemed to be well taken care of, even though the pain was vividly in their heads…

As they woke up from their dreams, all those wounds were gone, and they were alive!

They were all experienced cultivators, so they knew it was not just a dream. They had escaped death, which cheered them up.

Lei Dongtian was sitting in front of the others. Feng’er was right beside him. They both looked happy.

When Lei Dongtian looked at Feng’er and found that her hair had turned gray and wrinkles crawled on her face, he felt pain in his heart.

‘Feng’er hurt herself to save my life, and now she looks old after losing a lot of life energy…’

‘I heard that Agerasia Dan at the level of dan glow could bring people back to youth again. I must get one for Feng’er,’ Lei Dongtian thought.

Meng Youjiang, his wife, and his son were all there. The young man was completely recovered now. He was an energetic young man who was tall and pretty. However, he looked tired, with his head low.

Not that Ye Xiao’s treatment didn’t work well, after the man was well, his father and mother both scolded him so many times. Meng Youjiang shouted at him again and again angrily, while his wife shouted at the son with tears in her eyes…

The young man had just been through several days of lessons… That was why he was so tired.

Many people were hanging around the area.

“Are you all recovered now?”

“Yes, I am.”

“What happened to you, by the way?”

“My chest… You know… A big hole. My heart was broken… I was so scared because I was going to die…”

“Me too. My chest had a big hole on the right. It was miserable… I had used everything people told me to, but nothing helped… I was going to become a mummy because of blood loss… Oh, let me look at your wounds, please?”

“It is healed! Look! The marvelous doctor in the Hall of Life and Death is amazing. It doesn’t even leave a scar. I couldn’t believe my chest was pierced through just a few days ago…”

“Oh, it’s real. Look at mine. We were in a similar situation. My chest got cut through as well. Hah hah hah…”

“We two are meant to meet each other. We got damaged the same way and got cured the same way… Hah hah…”

The guy got his chest cut through on the right was alone. He made his way to the Hall of Life and Death by himself. Nobody ever showed up to help him. Now that he was cured, the others were all with their friends and families, but he was still alone. That was lonely. Luckily, he was an extrovert, so he kept talking to others.

“Let me have a look at your wounds, and I will show you mine…”

These people all survived lethal wounds. They were nice to each other because they were all lucky enough to survive. Most of them were happy to show the man their wounds, and nobody gave him the cold shoulder.

Most were not all. When he tried to talk to this patient, things were totally different.

This patient was not so special. It was some lethal wound too, and the wound was cured as well. The patient got cut through on the chest as well, but this patient was a woman. That was a huge difference.

…

“Ah, look at my wound. What do you think? Can I check yours? Hah hah…”

“Go away, you pervert! Sick bastard! How dare you take advantage of my sister? Come, everybody! Beat this one to death! Shameless bastard!”

The elder sister of the patient was angry. She was glad that her sister was finally recovered, and she didn’t mind talking to others about her sister’s situation. However, when that man asked to see her sister’s chest, things went totally wrong.

The lady shouted loudly, and several men approached to help her. In just a few seconds, they put the man down to the floor and punched him quite hard.

They were beating him up but did not actually hurt him too badly. The man was beaten up so badly that his face looked miserable.

“I was wrong… Please, forgive me… I am sorry…”

“He apologized. What should we do now?”

“Keep punching!”

“He assaulted the lady! An apology can’t get him out of it!”

“I think it will be lovely to take his clothes off. He likes to check other’s bodies, so we should let him check his own body, naked!”

“No, don’t. There are ladies here. How could you say that? What this man said has led him to this situation. Are you sure you want to be the same?”

“That’s right… I shouldn’t have said it… This man has a bad influence on me…”

They had a good time beating the man up, but the man who was beaten up did not hate it. He actually felt good to have a healthy body back. Although people were beating him, he was still fine. That pleased him!

It was in chaos.

Now that people were all well, Bu Xiangfeng tried to figure out the answer to a question that had bothered him for a long time.

“Old Meng, who told you about the Hall of Life and Death?” Bu Xiangfeng was confused. There were about four hundred people out there, including those who were back from death.

It didn’t make sense!

“Little Crow told me…”

Little Crow? What? How come?” Bu Xiangfeng was shocked. ‘Who is the Little Crow anyway? I never talked to any crows!’

“Well, Lin Zhongzhi, who told you to come to the Hall of Life and Death?”

“Little Crow. Of course.”

“…”

“Yu Linglong, who told you about the Hall of Life and Death?”

“Little Crow told me…”

“…”

Bu Xiangfeng was so confused, and even a bit angry. He said, “Who the hell is the Little Crow anyway? Damn it… How come I never heard of a man with such a big mouth? Anybody got the information from somebody else?”

“I heard it from Ping Shanyue… He says this place is a miracle, and it saves lives.” One man said gratefully. “Ping Shanyue is such a nice guy… I owe him big time for this…”

“Ping Shanyue! It is him!” Bu Xiangfeng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He did not know who the Little Crow was, but he surely knew Ping Shanyue. As he remembered, Ping Shanyue barely talked, but reality had slapped him in the face.

He was surprised that he was the one who told everybody the information.

“Fine. If Ping Shanyue told everybody the message, the others would do the same…” Bu Xiangfeng sighed and said, “I thought they would all keep tight-lipped…”

Meng Youjiang laughed and said, “Old Bu, you don’t understand. You were not going to get hurt or even killed, but they were. You wouldn’t understand how important it is to have a place that can save a man back from death. If you told me, I would tell the world as well!”

Bu Xiangfeng said, “Why? Why would you do it?”

“Old Bu, let me ask you something. What is the most important thing in the martial world?” Meng Youjiang chuckled and said, “Oh, your life has been so easy since you go into the martial world. And you have a lot of secret methods to save yourself. You barely fall into lethal dangers ever. Since you reached the Saint Origin Stage, you have never been close to death ever…”

“Because your life is so easy, you have a different state of mind… Look, the most important thing for an itinerant cultivator is to know a place that can save his life. For itinerant cultivators, a place like this is precious…”

“The information about a place like this is valuable!”

“When you know there is a place that can save your life, you will feel much more secure, even though you haven’t been to that place ever before. When you are dying, you will do whatever you can to get to that place, for a second chance to live. If you don’t give up, you may survive…”

“As long as you know a place like this, you won’t forget it, because it is so important…”

“Before you get yourself into a dangerous situation, you better check if you have enough money to come to this place! If you don’t have any money, you must be ready to join the Hall of Life and Death…”

Meng Youjiang said, “Information about this place is too valuable. Let me tell you what. We have only forty or fifty patients here today, but from now on, there will be more and more people coming for the marvelous doctor’s treatments!”
