Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1041

Li Clan had much less men than Ye Clan, yet they still made it back safely!

Ye Clan would never quit starting a fight under such circumstances, except for one possibility. Li Chongshan submitted and gave up most of the profits…

The winner who had gained much more was Ye Clan!

Li Clan did get something, but definitely nothing truly valuable.

"You four useless fools!" The Li Clan elder stared at the four people who had fled out. He was so angry.

The four men apparently understood why. They were shaking with pale faces in fear.

It would be a better situation for them if the others all died inside the mountain.

Now, however, they were definitely going to be punished.

Ye Clan people returned in happiness and cheers.

On the other side, Li Clan's six men looked so sad like their parents were dead!

"Oh? You're all back? What about my little friend Ye?" Ye Tianchen frowned. He eventually realized something was wrong and stopped smiling. "What happened to him? Where is he?"

Everybody was stunned.

[That's right! Why only us? Where is the man who took us in?]

They had been lost in happiness and sadness, so none of them noticed that someone was missing.

They didn't really feel so bad about it, except Ye Tianchen and Li Clan elder. They might not take it seriously if they didn't know Xuan BIng's true power. Now that they knew she had such a horrible power, the thought of her wiping out both clans at once couldn't be erased. Yet the man she cared and tried to protect actually was left behind…

The two old men looked at Xuan Bing. She was standing far away with Han Bingxue, looking solemn, as if she didn't see the cheerful return of the cultivators, yet she didn't seem to have the desire to accuse anybody.

Both of them were in high level. They didn't need to care about what the others thought about. Xuan Bing was sure Ye Xiao was safe after she talked to Han Bingxue. She knew that he had entered the fourth layer. The worse thing that could happen to Ye Xiao was to be banished out. Otherwise, it would be a huge blessing that might help him dominate a land in this world if he could meet some great opportunity inside.

What she could do was wait.

Han Bingxue looked badly hurt. Apparently, he got beaten up quite hard by Xuan Bing because he didn't do well in protecting Ye Xiao.

When Xuan Bing was beating up Han Bingxue, she didn't care if anybody else saw it. The fierceness she showed had scared the men of both Ye Clan and Li Clan. Most of them only thought that she was a cruel woman who mistreated her own friend!

Ye Tianchen and the Li Clan elder knew more than that. When they watched her punching Han Bingxue, they were frightened!

Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue were both so strong that they actually looked normal. In fact, everything that showed their real strength was hidden, which made them look like normal cultivators. Ye and Li, the two old men, knew that Xuan Bing was more powerful than themselves. When she was beating Han Bingxue, it looked fierce but she was just making flesh wounds.

When Han Bingxue was beaten, his body automatically operated the energy to protect him. However, his power didn't work when facing Xuan Bing's marvelous power. She could beat him wherever she wanted! Nothing stopped her even a bit!

The two old men didn't know how powerful Xuan Bing exactly was, but they knew she was horrible. They knew she must be more horribly powerful than Han Bingxue, even though Han Bingxue was already more powerful than they could recognize.

After that, the two old men didn't even dare to look at Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue in the eyes.

"Go!"

The Li Clan elder shouted with a dark and cold face. He rushed away on his horse to lead his men out.

The time, Ye Clan had gotten most of the benefits. The biggest problem was that they lost the man who could lead them into the third layer…

Li Clan's plan failed.

They only had one choice at last.

That was why he left without hesitation.

There was more than one reason why he would leave so decisively. Things had become complicated in this place now. Xuan Bing and Han Bingxue were both super powerful cultivators, either of them could defeat both Ye Clan and Li Clan at once. If they raged up and started a fight…

That would be a disaster for either clan.

[You Ye Clan have taken all the benefits. You should take the troubles too. Just go on with the Ye boy now!]

…

Not only Li Clan wanted to leave, but also Ye Tianchen.

However, looking at Li Clan's men leaving, he was lost in thoughts. He didn't leave.

He didn't dare to!

He truly didn't dare!

Li Clan had made a great contribution to Ye Clan this time. They left because they were furious about it. It made sense. However, what about Ye Clan? Ye Clan had gotten a great number of materials. They even took most of the materials from Li Clan. Besides, he had favorably talked to Ye Xiao first so many times. If he chose to leave now, he might get himself killed!

Ye Tianchen tried to see the real power of Xuan Bing and Han BIngxue and came to a conclusion—beyond imagination. If they wanted to wipe out Ye Clan, it would be just a piece of cake!

How dare he recklessly take a move to leave at this moment?

"My lady, we have lost connection to young Brother Ye, but it may not be a bad thing for him. Maybe he is having a great blessed opportunity… By the way, instead of just waiting here, why don't you two come with us and wait for Brother Ye in our place?"

Then he thought for a while and continued, "Brother Ye has such a talented body and peaceful face. He must be blessed by heavens. He won't just die so young. Please don't worry."

"No." Xuan Bing coldly said, "We'll just wait here."

Then a powerful aura rose up from her that pushed all the strangers away. Apparently, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Ye Tianchen made a long sigh and said, "Since you insist, I think we should leave you undisturbed. Farewell."

Then he started to leave with his people.

"Shangxin, how many Regeneration Ink Lotus did we get from there?" Ye Tianchen asked in a low voice.

"Forefather, we have gotten forty-eight Regeneration Ink Lotus, all in top quality. Besides, we have many other materials. It is a good harvest this time. The other materials were worth three hundred Regeneration Ink Lotus in total. When we left that place, we took ten Regeneration Ink Lotus from Li Clan, leaving only one to them." Ye Shangxin was excited. "We have fifty-eight top quality Regeneration Ink Lotus and about four hundred other medical materials."
