Realms In The Firmament

”Chief Ye, congratulations! What a wonderful day today! We are honored and lucky to witness such a historical moment. I feel proud!”

”That’s right, Chief Ye. From now on, we Li Clan, will humbly follow Ye Clan’s lead! We will disobey no order from Ye Clan!”

”Aye! We Ma Clan too!”

”Huang Clan too…”

”I humbly wish that the honorable chief of Ye Clan will show generosity to us…”

”We all depend on Chief Ye now…”

When these guys realized what was happening, they hurriedly showed loyalty to Ye Nantian. They thought that if they didn’t do it and Ye Clan decided to take revenge on what happened in the old days… their clans might be wiped out by Ye Clan…

After one day, if Ye Clan showed dissatisfaction to a clan, Ye Clan wouldn’t need to do it, nor would the three dominant sects. Many other clans who wanted to relate to Ye Clan would wipe out that clan to earn a favorable impression!

They knew that they should seize the moment to fawn on Ye Clan! Once they lost the chance, it wouldn’t come back!

None of them wanted to spend the rest of their lives in regret!

Ye Nantian might not become equally convincing as the prime masters of the great sects, but he was not much weaker than them. It would be more difficult than climbing the clouds for the other chiefs to see Ye Nantian in the future!

Ye Nantian coped with this bunch of people as if he was in a dream. Finally, all was done, and he returned to the house.

Indeed, nobody dared to stop him. They just smiled and watched the Ye Clan people got back into their house, and the door of Ye Clan’s house closed slowly behind them. The other chiefs didn’t even dare to go in that door to have some tea.

[Ye Clan’s tea is no longer something I can have as I wish!]

One could be ignorant of many things in the martial world but should never ignore the absolute power!

It was no longer a place these people could go in and out freely!

After the door was closed, the chiefs hurriedly returned to their residence fast like their asses were on fire. They gave an order as soon as they arrived, ’From now on, everybody should be cautious and respectful to Ye Clan people!’

’Everybody should treat Ye Clan people, including their servants and maids, in the highest profile as if they are our ancestors! Do not expect you can please Ye Clan, but just do not offend them! If any of you recklessly offend Ye Clan people… not only you will die, but also the entire clan… We will all die because of you… Remember the iron rule now…’

After the rules were made, the entire Town of Ye fell into absolute silence. There were no more useless voices.

Those clans had been in equivalent positions as Ye Clan, even higher position than Ye Clan a few days earlier. Their people had been laughing loudly, talking freely in the Town of Ye. However, when they walked over Ye Clan’s door now, their faces turned pale, and they walked sneakily like they were walking by the gate to hell!

When they were passing by the door, they sweated.

”Stay low!”

”Stay respectful!”

”Stay…”

…

When Ye Nantian walked back to his home, he felt like his head was stricken by eighteen thousand thunderbolts. His head was muddled, his eyes were dazzled, and it felt like the entire galaxy was shining in his sight!

He was stepping firmly on the floor, but he felt like he was stepping on clouds. It was soft and weak. He felt dizzy. He felt it was unreal.

Everything felt like a dream to him!

He looked around the people who were following him. Li Yunxuan, who was a disciple of Misty Cloud Palace, also looked pale on the face. She seemed soulless. Apparently, she didn’t know what she was doing.

The other Ye Clan people were only worse.

Everybody was staggering like sleepwalking. Some of them still kept opening their mouths and eyes, with their eyeballs almost popping out… Some of them who were under level six of Dream Origin Stage actually fell forward and hit the floor when they first stepped into the door. Their faces hit the floor directly, and they were stained with blood.

Even though they were bleeding, they still looked numb, as if they couldn’t feel the pain.

Ye Nantian had been fighting in the battles for many years. He didn’t hesitate as he immediately pinched his own leg and felt the pain! He trembled and returned to consciousness!

[This is not a dream!]

[This is never a dream!]

”This is not a dream!” He made a long shout. His voice spread up to the sky, and the clouds broke into pieces!

Everybody, no matter what status they were in, completely woke up from muddledness as they heard the shout! They felt a bolt of lightning striking their heads!

They were back to consciousness!

[It’s not a dream!]

[This is the reality!]

[It is real!]

[We, Ye Clan, are going to be great! We are going to be literally a dominant force in the district!]

Nobody talked. However, everybody’s eyes were shining with the light of hope.

Many of them stood still blankly, with a big smile. Tears gathered in the corners of their eyes. In the end, tears dropped off. Some people got down to the floor, holding their faces, and letting the tears get through their fingers!

Nobody knew what kind of lives these people of the three groups of Ye Clan had been through in these years!

In the clan, they had to endure the suppression from Ye Shuxin and the three groups under his lead; outside the clan, they had to bear the suppression from the other clans and the domineering force of Qiong-Hua Palace, one of the most powerful sects in Qing-Yun Realm! They had been struggling for survival!

They had to endure it, day after day!

When they were outside the clan, they didn’t even dare to stand straight up.

Nobody knew whether Qiong-Hua Palace would just wipe out the entire Ye Clan just because of a bad mood!

They didn’t dare to offend the dominant forces, nor did they dare to respond to the provocation of the other clans recklessly. One mistake and they would have to face the force from outside the clan as well as the punishment in the clan. The opponents in the clan would seize every opportunity to punish them!

The infighting had always been a big problem!

The people of the three groups who supported Ye Nantian to fight against Ye Shuxin and his people were risking their lives when they chose the side.

They already had enough of that kind of miserable life!

They would rather die fighting against the evil than live with disgrace!

However, they never expected things would become so promising and enchanting on their side!

What happened now was not only promising and enchanting; it was like a boost that made them reach paradise with one step!
