Realms In The Firmament

Did those men realize how enigmatic and overwhelming Han Bingxue was? Han Bingxue didn’t care about that. He had the power which could destroy everything. Why did he need to care about the minor details?

All in all, at least Han Bingxue was enjoying the feeling of being in the highest position like a descending king!

He was unraveled in the universe! He was peerless in Qing-Yun Realm! He was unique in the world!

- Shoot, shoot… -

Dozens of figures jumped out of the pit. They set their feet on the floor again, with pale faces full of fear.

What had Han Bingxue done was casually stomp on the floor. Yet it shook the mountains and cracked the earth. It had overturned those men’s recognition of a powerful man.

Although they didn’t know what level Han Bingxue was in and how powerful he could be, they clearly understood that the cold-blooded man in white clothes was definitely someone they couldn’t mess with. If he wanted to take their lives, it would be as easy as turning his hand over. That stomp was powerful enough to bury them all alive!

It was only a stomp!

How could that be any more difficult than turning over his hand?

”Honorable master, may I have your name?” A white-bearded old man who was standing in front spoke with his lips trembling, ”I wonder what we Huang Clan have done that accidentally offended you? Please do point it out.”

To stay low in front of the influential people and speak with flattering words, it was a surviving skill of the weak. The old man leading the team of Huang Clan saw Han Bingxue, who looked handsome and wealthy, talk rudely and indecently, but had an incredibly strong capability, so he called Han Bingxue ’honorable master’ to please him.

Apparently, Han Bingxue liked the attitude of that old man, though he was still keeping his hands behind the back. He arrogantly said, ”Offended me? You think too highly of your clan! Do you really think you are qualified enough?”

The old man heard it and took a long breath of relief. He didn’t feel humiliated. Instead, he felt glad. [We didn’t offend you? Great!]

If such a super prominent figure indeed had enmity to his clan, the entire clan might be wiped out in one day. No luck could save them.

”Well… Honorable master is doing this for…” The old man didn’t dare to be neglectful, so he asked humbly.

”First of all, I don’t like the way you do things.” Han Bingxue frowned and blandly gave them a lesson, ”You were running wildly like that on the road. What if you hit somebody? Even if you won’t hit anybody, it is still not a proper thing to hit any flowers or other plants!”

”That’s right. Yes. Master, you are right. We were being stupid and careless.” The old man kept his head low and acted humbly.

”Second, I am a robber. It is true that I take money from people who pass here. Hmm… However, you look pretty poor… I don’t think there is anything valuable on you that I can take. I changed my mind.”

He casually said, ”I decided that you may leave after answering several of my questions if your answers satisfy me.”

The men of Huang Clan all took a breath of relief.

[Just a few questions?]

[Good! That’s easy! Anything is good except killing us.]

Huang Clan was literally one of the big clans in this area. They usually bullied around this place and did countless evil things.

However, when they had to face a powerful man, Han Bingxue, they didn’t even say a damn word.

In Qing-Yun Realm, the bigger fist made the rule. It also applied even better to Oracle District!

”Do ask us anything you want, honorable master. We will tell you whatever we know and try our best to give you answers.” The old man was humbler and humbler.

”Listen carefully. First, where are you going? Second, what for? Third…”

He listed over ten questions at a time.

The old man felt relieved.

[Great! He didn’t ask anything difficult to answer. At least I alone can give all answers to his questions.]

”We are invited by Ye Clan to go to Town of Ye. There are two reasons we have to go. First, Ye Clan in Town of Ye must have some real good luck because they have gotten lots of Regeneration Ink Lotus. According to Li Clan, a part of Ye Clan’s lotuses were taken from Li Clan’s hands. Ye Clan was a bigger force so Li Clan couldn’t say no to them. That was why all clans were invited to the Town of Ye. We are going to settle things down for both of them…”

The explanation of old man of Huang Clan told everything Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue needed to know.

It was quite simple. The Regeneration Ink Lotus that they brought back from the third layer of Mountain of All Medicines caused such a chaos.

Li Clan and Ye Clan left the mountain almost at the same time. In that night, as expected, Li Clan and Ye Clan had a brutal fight. Li Clan was not Ye Clan’s even match. After all, Ye Clan’s forefather, Ye Tianchen, was in level two of Dao Origin Stage. He was invincible among the two clans. Li Clan suffered a significant loss. They failed to get the lotuses!

Li Clan people had to witness Ye Clan people going back to their house!

Things should be done at this point.

However, Li Clan couldn’t tolerate the failure. Li Clan people were all afraid that Ye Clan would rise up high with the lotus’s support. They didn’t want Ye Clan to override them with the help of Misty Cloud Palace. Li Clan was always an enemy of Ye Clan. Li Clan people were afraid their clan might fall because of it!

In the days afterward, Li Clan people kept stirring troubles for Ye Clan and spread out the news about Ye Clan and the lotuses. Li Clan invited dozens of clans to come and set pressure on Ye Clan.

Ye Clan did acquire a lot, but they only got dozens of plants of Regeneration Ink Lotus. However, Li Clan made people believe Ye Clan had gained hundreds of lotuses.

The clans were all jealous.

It had been more and more challenging to collect Regeneration Ink Lotus in the recent few years. Misty Cloud Palace, who started all the lotus-hunting mission, had been driving all the clans crazy.

When the other clans heard the number ’hundreds’, one of them said, ”It is a hard time these days. Not to mention hundreds, even only dozens, over a dozen, is valuable enough for us to kill them all.”

The clans decided to join together and force Ye Clan to give them the Regeneration Ink Lotus. Even if Ye Clan wouldn’t give them all, but they wanted Ye Clan to give each clan the same amount. They didn’t want any clan to be dominating…

It was the best solution to keep the balance. Li Clan people had the same thought. [If Ye Clan becomes dominating, Misty Cloud Palace will support them entirely. We will be suppressed by Ye Clan till death takes us away. Ye Clan becomes the ruler, what do we do…]

They figured it was better to force Ye Clan to share the lotuses, and then keep every clan from getting more than others. Nobody could become dominating.

Ye Clan’s opinion wasn’t under their consideration. They just wouldn’t let Ye Clan decide.

Ye Clan had to submit, no matter in a friendly way or in the other.
