Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1094

All the young men of the other clans glared at Ye Xiao who was slowly walking over. Their eyes were full of hostility. [Bloody bastard has a pretty face. Why? It pissed both gods and mortals!]

[Don't you know this is combat of life and death? You are good-looking, so what? We are not in a beauty pageant, are we?]

[In this place, a pretty face doesn't bring you victory, but strength does!]

Ye Xiao had just arrived, and he felt the hostile qi rolling against him in the air.

He was confused.

[What is it? What happened? I obviously don't know any of them. Why are they all aiming at me? Did I offend someone?]

After a while, he finally got to know the reason, but it only made him feel even more furious.

[Am I to be blamed just because of my handsome face?]

That was why everybody wanted to beat him. Even you guys, my honorable readers out there, want to punch him, don't you?

It was not his fault to have a handsome face, but it, of course, was his fault to show off in front of everybody!

…

The next moment, Ye Nantian went to see the leaders of the other clans as the new leader of Ye Clan. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and instead showed a dignified manner.

The image of a leader like that really shocked the others. [This new chief of Ye Clan isn't an ordinary man…]

They thought Ye Clan would be utterly weakened after the massacre, but now it seemed to be too optimistic to them. The arena might not end up benefiting them as they wished!

The rules of the arena had been set. Nobody could change any of them. Ye Nantian, as the chief of Ye Clan, the host who provided most of the rewards, reaffirmed the rules of the combat.

"As we all agreed, all clans will hand in their Regeneration Ink Lotus, and we will gather all the lotuses in one place. All clans will draw to decide the rivals for the participants. One victory in a fight wins a lotus for the clan as the reward to the winner.

"Each clan sends one person to draw. The draw would appoint one's rival. After the first participant of a clan fails, the clan can send the second participant onto the stage to continue without a second draw.

"Whoever wins a fight can keep fighting the next rival if he or she decides to continue until he or she submits or gets defeated. There will be no limit to the number of combats!

"There are eighteen clans. Chiefs of the clans are judges.

"For the record, this is not combat of life and death. Do not go any further than necessary. We don't want anybody to die! We don't allow pursuing anybody in retreat and killing anybody unnecessarily!"

…

Ye Nantian loudly read the rules line by line.

The rules were all marked. The young men were all thrilled. Their faces turned red, and their eyes turned shiny. They couldn't wait.

The draw was finished pretty quickly.

Ye Clan seemed unlucky to get the first turn to go onto the stage.

Everybody knew that it was a good thing to go earlier than later if one was strong enough. It brought more chances to get more lotuses. However, the weak ones would only become cannon fodders!

In the other clans' views, none of Ye Clan's men, including Ye Xiao, who was known as a powerful young cultivator, were actually decent in battle. They were utterly limited in power as none of them were above Dream Origin Stage. In their opinion, no matter who they were going to fight, they would be defeated miserably!

In Ye Clan's grandstand.

"Who goes first?" Ye Nantian blandly asked.

He honestly didn't think his nephews were able to win the fight. He had no different opinions from the people of the other clans. He saw only a few among the youngest generation, including Ye Zifeng, in a positive light. Unfortunately, those young men were all Ye Shuxin's people. They had already died in Ye Xiao's hand!

It wasn't a surprising fact that the best youngsters were all Ye Shuxing's people. They were talented in the first place, and Ye Shuxin favored them with all the resources in the clan. It wasn't a surprising thing that they couldn't become better than the others.

The young men from the other three groups who supported Ye Shuqing didn't get the resources they deserved because Ye Shuxin simply hated them. They had to cultivate all by themselves. That was why they were not doing quite well in cultivation!

Before Ye Nantian finished, Ye Liangchen stepped ahead and said, "Chief, I would like to fight for the first credit!"

"Urh?" The others were all shocked.

[Why would he jump out so quickly?]

The men in the leadership of Ye Clan all frowned when they saw Ye Liangchen taking the first turn.

Ye Liangchen was honestly doing okay in cultivation, but it was just not good enough to fight against the elites of the other clans. However, he was quite excited and aspiring…

If they rejected him, it would hurt his enthusiasm, also the others'. Should they let him go? It might make them lose one lotus to the rival clan…

They started to look at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "I guess I should go first. When I get defeated, Liangchen goes up to take revenge for me."

Ye Liangchen moaned, "Come on Brother Xiao, no kidding… There will be no chance for us after you go up there first… You can get through all the combats alone… If by any chance you are defeated, that means the enemy is even stronger than you. It would be hopeless for us to…"

The others nearly burst into waves of laughter.

They all thought, [No wonder he jumped out so quickly, knowing that he was weak…]

Ye Xiao laughed. "Brother Liangchen, you are flattering me. Maybe I will be knocked down at the first second I go up…"

After that, his clothes started to flick in the air, and he slid away like a piece of cloud floating in the sky. He flew up to the stage, and politely saluted by cupping his fists. "Ye Clan, Ye Xiao, humbly awaiting."

That was such a trigger to chaos. Suddenly, all the young men of the other clans had bloodshot eyes. Seventeen men actually jumped up and rushed to the stage at the same time like a swarm of bees.

"Let me!"

"No! I am first!"

"You get the hell off!"

"This is mine!"

"Who dares to snatch this from my hand will be my sworn enemy!"

A few men started to fight in advance for the chance to fight Ye Xiao.

Han Bingxue, who had been sneakily staying among Ye Clan people, nearly had his belly explode because he laughed so hard watching what was happening. [ Look how they vie…]

[Hilarious…]
