Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1917: Ye Xiao pays a visit

The Seven Golden Lotuses concealed themselves from the Human Realm for 100,000 years while maintaining their resolve for revenge. They made preparations for this time of breaking heaven’s battle. Meng Tianluo’s class of people, though, spent this 100,000 years enjoying a life of luxury, beautiful clothes, splendid garments, and a high post and generous salary. Their seats held high weight, and they had the power to decide life and death as well as speak out and have the law follow. Simply on mentality alone, they already couldn’t be compared.

Furthermore, the other Seven Golden Lotuses spent 99.9% of that 100,000 years in seclusion practice, cultivating bitterly in secret. With Meng Tianluo and the others of his sort, 99.9% of their time was spent busy outside of cultivation matters. Besides the large scale operations they were obligated to take control of, they still enjoyed life and still fought and schemed against each other, as well as many other matters!

Although each person clearly knew their foundation, but they were always thinking that their own cultivation level had arrived at the absolute apex. In the present age, powerhouses that arrived at this realm would slack off and become complacent without concern. With just one idea in this fashion, then tens of years, hundreds of years, thousands or tens of thousands of years they thought the same. They simply didn’t have a person capable of resembling the Seven Golden Lotuses, going into seclusion for a few hundred years!

Even several years or several months were all no good!

In this way, after 100,000 years, how were they still even able to keep on the same starting line as the opposite party?

“This time big Western Sky has been defeated in battle, I concede!” Meng Tianluo tilted his head upward, expression flashing a certain melancholy. He said, “Nuchao, you are the banner, Luochen, you carefully recuperate. Three days later, we’ll go get rid of the Ye Family forces!”

“What I said is… Ye Family forces!”

“Yes!”

“Although we’ve been defeated in battle, but… Heaven’s Leaf must pay the price, we must still do this!”

“I don’t want Ye Hongchen to be able to have things go so smoothly, taking away my things from the palm of my hand!”

“No matter who it is, it’s also no good!”

…

Ye Family forces barracks.

Ye Xiao stood there with his white clothes fluttering. The inside of the barracks was actually in disarray, like chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Ye Xiao’s whole body was overflowing with a murderous aura since he had killed his way twice into the middle of the Western Sky’s army. Ordinary Saint Origin Stage and Eternal Stage experts turned pale and ashen from his imposing manner, while somewhat weak ones simply directly passed out.

“Please pass on to the Seven Golden Lotuses seven heads, Monarch’s Hall’s Ye Xiao is paying a visit!”

These words just now let the few high ranking officers heading the Ye Family forces’ barracks feel a soaring sense of boldness!

In the Ye Family forces’ headquarters, he didn’t say he was looking for the chief commander Ye Yunduan, but rather… called on the heads of the Seven Lotuses by name!

This kind of attitude, where did it place Ye Yunduan, who was nominally the master of the Ye Family’s forces?

This is considering everyone else beneath one, seeing nothing worthwhile all around, still is arrogant, yes?!

But, Ye Xiao just matter-of-factly and self-confidently spoke out these words without the least bit of apprehension or misgivings!

Ye Yunduan, who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, heard this announcement and turned ashen, but completely lacked any method to do anything about it.

Old Man Guan concernedly was still looking at Ye Yunduan. After he didn’t get a response for a long time, only then did Old Man Guan start to say, “Since Young Master Yunduan doesn’t have any other commands, we’ll just go out to see our old friend.”

Ye Yunduan’s ashen complexion transformed, and with a strong smile he said, “Yes, that’s how it should be, seven seniors, don’t hesitate and do go ahead, it’s no bother!”

Old Man Qin sighed in his mind and nodded his agreement. The seven brothers simultaneously walked out of the army tent, and as they looked at each other, shook their heads endlessly.

“Could it be that the so-called lotus leaf is called into question with this kind of disgrace and defeat this easily?! Ye Yunduan’s structure is still by far not capable, ah.” Old Man Guan sighed as he faced the sky.

Ye Xiao coming today was admittedly nominally to see those seven people, but, if he really only wanted to see those seven people, why would he come here like that?

What time or place would he not be able to see them?

Wouldn’t directly going inside for a private meeting be even better, letting everyone step back fairly?!

This sort of honorable, without deceit’s paying a visit, was clearly to give Ye Yunduan an opportunity to create a friendly meeting between both sides.

Because… there were still friendships between each other. Ye Yunduan had also previously received Ye Xiao’s life-saving grace!

Your life savior came, regardless of what the reason he came is, you should go out to see him, right?

But Ye Yunduan chose not to go see him, as it happened!

So much so that he also thought that Ye Xiao was there to come slap his face.

…

Outside the camp.

Ye Xiao looked as the seven old heads of household appeared. His eyes flashed, and immediately the sides of his lips revealed a warm smile.

The seven old heads of households’ gazes as they looked at Ye Xiao were all rather complex.

In those days, his cultivation level was so weak that he was unable to withstand a single blow from the immortal five dregs, and he still needed someone on their level of strength to go out and protect the little guy… nowadays, he had already grown as the authority of a side!

The weight of that was already by far above what their own positions as the seven big families’ heads of households was!

He even already faintly possessed the power to be able to claim himself as an equal to the five great sky kings!

The heads of households could even be said to have watched every step of his difficult struggle and rise; they saw how he had gone from one individual small person, refusing to enter their factions, and had grown to arrive at this day, where he became a heroic and mighty person who was able to walk the road of the whole world!

At that time, they had clearly and assuredly said that this guy was showing extraordinary gifts. He had the capability and the method, his only deficiency was the strength of his foundation and that’s all.

This absolutely was a super person with good prospects…

Yes, they hadn’t seen wrongly, and even more had not spoken wrongly!

But what they absolutely hadn’t thought was that, with only several years between, this weak and small’s immortal five dregs had already grown to become a present-day leviathan!

He became someone they could only look up to, a genuine big protagonist high above the clouds! (TLN: could also be above Yunduan)

From beginning to end, the contrast was huge, and one could only gasp in amazement and surprise!

“If at that time we were capable of not wanting face, borrowing those years that we blamed Ye Changqing’s matter on the Monarch’s Hall, what would the situation be right now!?” The seven old people couldn’t help but simultaneously have this sort of thought flash through their minds, but at the same time, their hearts also changed into a long sigh.

That was impossible!

From beginning to end… they were the later generations of the Seven Golden Lotuses, ah…

“Seven elderlies, long time no see.” Ye Xiao smiled mildly. “Allow me to introduce these two people to the seven elderlies… this is Xuan Bing, and this is Jun Yinglian… en, both are my… wives.”

Turning his head to look towards Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian, he said, “En, these seven elderlies are the people who took care of me the most after I arrived in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!”

Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian blushed and paid their respects.

The seven old men hastily returned their politeness.

What a joke.

One look at the bodies of each of these two women’s auras showed that they were as vast as an ocean and as great as a mountain. They were clearly peak level super powerhouses!

This kind of strength, they had seemingly already experienced on their old ancestors’ bodies!

This kind of powerhouse paid respects towards me?

This… wouldn’t it be wanting to break me?!

But Ye Xiao’s introduction style transformed the position of both sides into a younger generation bringing oneself’s woman home to honor the older generations or something similar. This action couldn’t help but warm the hearts of the seven old men. At this moment, their hearts felt all melted.

“Nah nah, Monarch Ye started from scratch, and in a short short few years is on level ground with the wind and thunder, nowadays you are already the overlord of a side! Us old farts are only able to be spectators, we don’t have the least bit of meager strength to contribute… I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed.”

Old Man Guan’s speech was evasive, sounding like he was sighing, but his face was overflowing with gratification and contentment.
