Realms In The Firmament

“What the… What is going on?” Because of what happened, the old man who had always been calm and steady was freaking out.

After that, he watched everything happened in the room…

The top-class superior cultivator who was much more powerful than Ye Xiao and should have taken the initiative actually caved in after some words Ye Xiao had said. In the end, Bu Xiangfeng even became a guard to the young man. If the old man did not witness this, how could he believe it…?

Things happened fast. It made the old man laugh so hard that he nearly choked.

“Holy hell… He indeed carries the name of Ye. With just a few words, he has done such a great job. He is indeed a descent from a glorious clan…” The old man almost fell down because he laughed so hard.

At the moment, from far away, somebody was moving over to the room.

Behind that man, there were two other people chasing him. It seemed that the two of them were going to attack the room soon.

The man who was moving in the front actually didn’t realize he was followed, and he directly got into the window. Apparently, he was with the owner of the room.

The old man frowned and waved a hand.

The two men who were chasing after the other man felt a soft but solid energy screen rising up, blocking them away from the room.

The two of them were both shocked. As they looked around, they saw the old man with a white beard standing before their eyes. They were shocked and hurriedly got down on their knees. “Great… Great Ancestor… Why… How… How come you are here in person?”

The two men were utterly frightened.

They never expected that what happened actually had disturbed their Great Ancestor, who had been staying in isolation!

Wasn’t reality pretty scary?

What confused the two guys most was the truth that their Great Ancestor was hindering their work. They couldn’t understand why.

“I got this. Off you go. Leave them alone.” The old man blandly said.

“But…” One of the guards said, “That man has killed everybody in the Sun Family of the west city in one night… He has broken the law in the city… If we walked away now…”

“So what? I said leave them alone.” The old man blandly said, “From now on, the City of Chaos will fall into chaos again. The death of one family doesn’t mean anything!”

“What?” The two guards were frightened.

Apparently, what the old man said was pretty scary!

The old man showed them a smile and said, “Sometimes it is not a good thing to keep a place in peace for a long time. Chaos is the essence of the martial world. From now on, we don’t need to worry about the city anymore. Let’s hand over the City of Chaos to the hands of chaos again!”

The two guards, who were here to chase Bai Long, got stricken. They were blank.

‘What is going on…?’

‘Are we… Are we going to let the city become ungoverned?’

‘Nothing like that ever happened in so many years.’

‘Why?’

‘Suddenly, it happens. How?’

‘Isn’t it too much a surprise?’

The guardians had devoted so much for the order in the City of Chaos and eventually made the city a peaceful place. However, they were going to just drop it…

The old man understood why the two guards would be so shocked, but he didn’t want to explain more. He just gave an order and said, “Tell them to withdraw all our men immediately. Tell the nine elders to come to me. Tell them one thing.”

“What should we tell them?” The two men held their breath. They knew something big was going to happen.

“Tell them, the time is up. The sky will turn red soon!”

The old man just finished his words and then disappeared instantly.

“The sky will turn red soon?”

The two men apparently didn’t know what it truly meant. They were baffled…

However, the old man was gone. They couldn’t ask him about it anymore.

Even if the old man was still there, the two of them wouldn’t dare to ask anyway.

In fact, even the clan masters of their own clans didn’t dare to recklessly ask questions when the Great Ancestor was talking.

…

Ye Xiao, Bu Xiangfeng, and the Dark Evil Spirit were enjoying the final part of the feast.

The Dark Evil Spirit was so excited that he drank too much this night.

What they drank was not some ordinary liquor. It was the Drunk God—a liquor specially made for the high-level cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. One could never push out this special liquor out of their body by spiritual energy. The Dark Evil Spirit was so happy, so he drank a lot and got drunk.

Not only him, but also Bu Xiangfeng had drunk too much.

Ye Xiao was the only one who was still sober, with a pair of sharp and clear eyes.

It was the end of the feast.

Ye Xiao raised the drink and said, “Let’s finish the last drink and call it a day. There are a lot of chances to continue the joy.”

The three of them drank.

Bu Xiangfeng laughed and said, “People always say that it is good to be drunk. Well, if I know I am drunk, I am not that drunk. Well… In fact, I do feel muddle-headed… but I feel good about it… I think this is why it is so good to be drunk… It’s good to be drunk.”

The three of them smiled at the same time and drank for this enjoyable time.

When they were about to drink up the liquor, there was the sound of cloth sharply flickering the air. After that, a voice sounded outside the Dark Evil Spirit’s room. “Dark, are you in there?”

The Dark Evil Spirit was muddled-headed, but as he heard the voice, he was back to his mind. He said in a low voice, “It is Bai Long!”

Ye Xiao raised up his head, and he looked confused.

He didn’t expect Bai Long to come so soon.

It was especially not a good day for him to come this day!

Yet he did.

‘Why?’

Ye Xiao nodded to the Dark Evil Spirit, and the Dark Evil Spirit opened the door and said, “Bai Long, my master is over here.”

Bai Long took a deep breath and said, “Thank you.”

After that, he walked over and got into Ye Xiao’s room.

Ye Xiao was confused, “Brother Bai, it is late at night. Are you okay?”

Bai Long walked into the room and suddenly got down on his knees. “Bai Long here, I can’t express my gratitude to you, young master. Thank you for saving my life!”

Ye Xiao laughed and said, “That’s not a big deal. Don’t mention it. Why did you do this?”

Bai Long kept staying low on the floor and said, “Master, I have never met anybody like you in my life. I am impressed. You have saved my life. I have no idea what I can do to return your favor. I know that you are a generous man… Today, I am here to beg you for a position as your follower… Please accept me.”

Ye Xiao was shocked.

‘Is it really this easy?’

He had done a lot of things to get Bai Long over, but he was still surprised that Bai Long would cave in so soon.

“Brother Bai, you…” Ye Xiao was confused. “Why?”

Bai Long smiled bitterly and said, “The Sun Family… I killed them all… and sent their servants and maids back home…”

Ye Xiao was shocked.

That was out of his expectation. Although Ye Xiao didn’t like the Sun Family at all, the clan master of the Sun Family had saved Bai Long’s life after all. A decent man did not kill an old friend. Even though Bai Long decided not to serve the Sun Family anymore, he didn’t need to go extreme on the case. If he could do such things to the Sun Family, he might do the same thing to Ye Xiao someday! That was why Ye Xiao was shocked!

“It is complicated. How difficult it is to figure out a man’s thoughts.” Bai Long made a sigh and started to tell Ye Xiao everything.

“Bastard! A whole family of bastards!”

After Bai Long told his story, Bu Xiangfeng raged up in shouts. He was actually the most enraged among the three men. He kept both eyes widely open and said with angry shouts, “How can such disgusting and filthy bastards live in the world! They deserved death!”

Bai Long looked frustrated, and he said, “They should die, but… I have done a traitor’s work.”

Bu Xiangfeng said, “How does that make you a traitor? Bai Long, you have done more than enough for them! You don’t need to feel bad at all!”

Bai Long bitterly smiled and said, “I can’t say. Now I am homeless. There is nobody in the City of Chaos that I can pledge loyalty to… After killing the Sun Family, I am wanted by the City of Chaos… I am here to see you, young master, hoping that you will accept me. If you take me, I will come and serve you with my life after the time I have to do in jail. If I am sentenced to die… This must be the only chance I have to show my respect and gratitude…”

Bu Xiangfeng looked at Ye Xiao, waiting for Ye Xiao’s response. He obviously hoped Ye Xiao would accept Bai Long.

Ye Xiao thought for a while and said, “I have done a lot of things, trying to be friends with you, Brother Bai. Now that you are here, treating like a close friend to you, I won’t turn you away. From now on, we are a family!”

“The law in the City of Chaos… If they don’t come here for you, we should just pretend nothing happened. If they come…” Ye Xiao thought for a while and said, “Let’s talk about it later.”

In fact, he kept thinking about how to get Bai Long away from the guardians.

Bai Long was so glad. “Thank you, master! Please, don’t worry. Once they come to get me, I won’t do anything to get you harm.”

The Dark Evil Spirit knew how things had been for Bai Long in the Sun Family, so he wasn’t surprised about the result. However, Bu Xiangfeng barely knew anything, and he didn’t know whether it was the right thing to do to be Ye Xiao’s guard.

A Divinity Origin Stage cultivator paid a visit to a Faery Origin Stage young master with respect and admiration. That was rare, and Bu Xiangfeng didn’t understand.

‘What is so good about this young man? He is weak, yet his followers are powerful. First Old Hei pledged loyalty to him, and then I did. Now Bai Long is here to follow him. Is he really such a great man?’

‘How come I can’t feel it?’

Bu Xiangfeng was filled with righteous indignation for what happened to Bai Long. He kept saying comforting words, but couldn’t understand why Bai Long would come to follow Ye Xiao, just after he killed the entire Sun Family.

The Dark Evil Spirit knew it, so he told Bu Xiangfeng about everything in a low voice. Bu Xiangfeng heard the story and started to feel admiring Ye Xiao. It was truly difficult for a man to do such a great favor for others.

It was the Seven Returns Dan in supreme level!

Bu Xiangfeng thought that it was enough to even pay for himself…

Since Ye Xiao could give Bai Long such a treasure before he promised to join Ye Xiao, he must be capable of giving Bu Xiangfeng the rare metal he needed. It was not just a saying!

When Bu Xiangfeng looked at Ye Xiao, he had a different feeling now.

He was a bit thrilled.

He never had this feeling before.

…

That night.

The nine prime elders of the nine clans in the City of Chaos, who had been retired for a long time, gathered together in a secret place with the other elders from their clans. The meeting lasted for a whole night.

Nobody else knew what they were discussing in the meeting, but the next morning, the entire city fell into chaos.

It was not just a disturbance in the city. It was true chaos!

The chaos came from the government, from the guardians. Everybody who got the message was shocked… Nobody knew what to do…

“From now on, the City of Chaos will return to chaos. The nine governor clans will no longer maintain the order in the city.”

“The martial world returns to the martial world. The City of Chaos is a part of the martial world!”

“No more prohibition on fights!”

The sudden news exploded in the City of Chaos, and spread to the entire Limitless Ocean!

Since the City of Chaos was built, the prohibition on fights had never been broken.

It had become the first order in the City of Chaos!

The guardians of orders in the City of Chaos was known as the most mysterious figure in the world.

Nobody knew who the guardians were, what their names were, what organization they belonged to…

The only thing people knew about them was their incredible power.

Behind these guardians, there were some even more powerful guardians behind them. If the guardians were in trouble, the superior guardians would show up immediately.

They always caught the lawbreaker or killed them!

No exception!

That was how the City of Chaos was so strictly governed!

When the city was in peace, the guardians would be like the froth under the sunshine. They would disappear and never showed themselves as the guardians to the public.

For over a hundred thousand years, it stayed the same!

The guardians in the City of Chaos were a group of special people, who were the law enforcers of the city. They had the highest power, but they never abused it. That was why the City of Chaos was always peaceful, the most peaceful area in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.

However, now it was going to end. The most peaceful area in the world was gone!

“Have you heard? The first prohibition is canceled…”

“Yes, I just did. What happened? Is there a strong enemy coming? Or is it something else?”

“I have no idea… It just got canceled without any precaution…”

“That’s so weird…”

“Did anything go wrong?”

“Of course, something did go wrong! Why do you think the prohibition got canceled if nothing happened?”

“I heard an extremely powerful force was going to invade the City of Chaos. A top-class superior cultivator got slaughtered… The guardians were all killed…”

“What? Is it real?”

“I heard it… I think it is mostly real. Otherwise, why is the first prohibition canceled?”

“Shhh… Who on earth has the capability…?”

“I truly have no idea… It must be some super-powerful force…”

“We don’t know how powerful the guardians really are, but for now, in this city, as long as I am powerful enough, I can do whatever I can. Am I right?”

“I think you are! That is what it is now.”

“We can fight? We can do whatever we want?”

“Yes, you can!”

“Can we take other’s places? Can we take anything from others by force?”

“Yes, you can!”

“Can I eve do rape and loot?”

“Why not? As long as you have the power, you can rape a pig if you want…”

Holy hell… That is great!”

“…”

…

A big change hit the city. Rumors spread in the City of Chaos.

The forces that had set their branches in the City of Chaos immediately realized how serious it was.

After the message was confirmed, the powerful forces all sent their people over to the city.

They all realized one thing. If the prohibition was canceled, the city became a gold mine to be excavated!

It was a city of treasures!

It had been in peace for one hundred thousand years!

The rich citizens in the city were all unbelievably wealthy.

However, these treasures didn’t attract any top-class cultivators. The other cultivators might want them, but they didn’t dare to take any reckless act, because they didn’t know whether the guardians were still there or not.

There had been some people who wanted to break the law in the city, but all of them ended up dead!

However, now the city had dropped the prohibition itself.

Whoever conquered the city, owned the wealth of the city!

At least a big part of it!

It was a huge city, with hundreds of million residents who had lived in peace for a hundred thousand years…

It was such a great resource.

It was such a slice of big fat meat!

Only one person got shocked when the message spread over.

It was Bu Xiangfeng!

He was quite unfortunate because right after he signed the contract with Ye Xiao, the City of Chaos canceled the prohibition.

Bu Xiangfeng looked at the sky and stayed wordless.

‘What if I waited… What if I just got over one night and made a decision today… If I didn’t sign it, I would still be free in the city… I should have gone…’

‘It is my destiny that fools me… I have just signed the ten years contract…’

Bu Xiangfeng wanted to cry.

‘This is too much… You can’t play me around like this…’

Ye Xiao and Bai Long were happy to hear it though because they didn’t need to worry anymore!

…

The City of Chaos had truly fallen into chaos.
