Realms In The Firmament Chapter 980: Boss?

Chapter 980: Boss?

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Ye Xiao didn’t understand why Xuan Bing insisted in killing those men, but he just didn’t want this most powerful female cultivator to carry the sin for it.

If her mental status was distracted by guilt, she would have trouble making progress in cultivation.

Moreover…

Ye Xiao worried that the idea of taking revenge would become the trouble that impacted his mental state.

It might also become the trouble in Li Wuliang’s mental state.

All they had been thinking about was to take revenge. He didn’t want a future that they had no enemy to seek revenge on when they were finally recovered to their prime.

What if all their enemies were dead?

As Ye Xiao shouted, Xuan Bing humphed and then suddenly moved backward fast like whirlwind.

Clouds rolled up to the sky with lightning and then disappeared in the sky.

Xuan Bing had come beside Ye Xiao. She gently asked, “Why?”

“If you do this, you will have a demon heart. It isn’t worth it.” Ye Xiao looked at Xuan Bing warmly. He still couldn’t see her face or her eyes, but he just kept staring at her. He softly said, “Just let them go.”

“There will be more opportunities.” Ye Xiao said, “Kill those who are unbending, but spare those who kneeled. There is law and there is also ethics. Besides, you are one of the best cultivators in the world. You don’t need to do this just for some stupid men.”

Xuan Bing’s eyes turned soft. She felt warmth in the heart.

[Is he… caring for me?]

[He doesn’t want me to get a demon heart?]

All of a sudden, the murderous qi had all but vanished. What filled her heart was all softness. Nobody knew, but the warmth was deep inside her.

Han Bingxue spoke in agreement, “That’s right. Not only will you have a demon heart, we will too.”

He was also an expert in cultivation. He fully understood what Ye Xiao was worrying. He realized he should consider more than just killing those men. He agreed with Ye Xiao, so he said it.

It didn’t only concern Xuan Bing, but also Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao!

Xuan Bing humphed and coldly said, “I don’t care about having a demon heart. You will have it because you are too weak in cultivation. You don’t have a tough mind. It is not my fault.”

The words she said sounded cold and bland, but there was no murderous intent anymore.

The eighteen men on the other side were all showing blue faces. What Xuan Bing just did had totally shocked them in the soul.

Bai Bufan’s warning was too late. The men had no time to set up an array to defend from her attack. In fact, even if they do have time to put on the array, they would eventually die in her hands.

At that moment, every single one of them felt the aura of death. They could feel death approaching step by step.

Xuan Bing stopped before any murderous attacks were made, but what she did had already made them feel the horror. And the horror stayed in their heart for a long time.

The stronger cultivator, the stronger his sense of death.

It was… the feeling of hell! It was the experience of death!

The horror that appeared in their hearts this time would become nightmares for the rest of their lives!

However, they never thought that the famous Xuan Bing, who overwhelmed the world, would stop the fight just because of a few words of a young man.

At least she temporarily stopped!

They all looked at the young man with gratitude in the eyes.

[What a nice guy. What a generous man.]

[We were going to kill you, yet you actually saved us.]

[You are a sage. You are a saint. Maybe you are virtue itself?]

Ye Xiao was speechless being stared at.

[I really do want to kill you. I just don’t want Li Wuliang to be disappointed when he gets out and finds nobody he wants to kill is alive…]

[Well… I want you to live because I want him to kill you someday!]

[I really don’t care about your lives. I am just doing this for me, for Li Wuliang, and for Han Bingxue. I do this for my brothers… Hmmm. For Xuan Bing too!]

Xuan Bing made a long sigh and said, “I won’t kill them, but they need to be punished. All those who insulted me, slap yourselves one hundred times and each of you leave one arm. Then you can go!”

After a while, there were several arms on the floor. The men showed their gratitude to Ye Xiao and then left this place.

Ye Xiao didn’t look good though, because of the words those men said to him before they left. He was actually pissed. ‘Like father, like son’, ‘Hero father, hero son’, ‘Good father, better son’, and others… Of course, he would never like hearing such compliments!

Xuan Bing knew it well, so she felt amused. After all, it was hard to see her master being embarrassed like this. After all was done, she casually said, “Let’s go.”

Han Bingxue coughed and moved faster ahead to lead the way. He was a smart man.

“Let’s slow down a bit.” Xuan Bing said to Ye Xiao as she was walking, “Tell me why you let them leave? You should always pull up the roots before they get on you again. To destroy the threats in advance is a good move before the real fight, isn’t it?”

Ye Xiao smiled and didn’t answer her.

Han Bingxie didn’t go far, so he heard them. He laughed and said, “I think Boss is right. If we killed them all, it might not lead to a good situation. At least, you will get a demon heart because of the improper killing.”

“Besides, our enemies should die in our own hands. That is all for revenge. We won’t accept anybody else’s favor on this matter.” He laughed. “It is the insistence and honor of men. I guess you will understand it.”

Xuan Bing nodded to show agreement. Then she abruptly raised her head and stared at Han Bingxue with two sharp eyes. “Boss? Did you just call him… Boss?”

Ye Xiao was stunned.

Han Bingxue was stunned too.

After what happened, Han Bingxue had treated Xuan Bing as their ally. That was why he didn’t particularly try to hide something from her. He spoke fast and called Ye Xiao ‘Boss’. That was a problem that was not easy to solve.

[You, Han Bingxue, are definitely not a match to me, Xuan Bing. However, you are still one of the powerful cultivators in the realm. Yet you called this young man Boss? Why? What are you hiding?]

If he denied it, Xuan Bing wouldn’t believe him.

After Xuan Bing’s question, Ye Xiao stayed silent for a while, then he casually said, “There is a reason, of course. But it’s our secret. Please forgive us…”

Xuan Bing was speechless.

[It is our secret!]

[ That’s the explanation… What a clever answer that blocks every approach that I can take to the truth…]

[If I keep asking, I will be a ruthless and impolite person!]
