Chapter 1099: A Confrontation between Two Palaces!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
[When did Misty Cloud Palace… tell anybody about it?]
[No. In spite of whether they ever told anybody, isn't it too shocking? How could you say that? Do you know what you are talking about?]
[Didn't you raise the Chief of Ye Clan and the entire Ye Clan too high?]
[Are you insane?]
[What do you mean an important ally? Since when did Ye Clan have such power?]
[And Ye Nantian… He has just become the Chief. How could he be an honorable guest of Misty Cloud Palace?]
[This is, no matter what, unbelievable and wrong!]
Not only Qiong-Hua Palace and the other clans couldn't believe it, even Ye Clan people themselves were confused. They all kept their mouths open because of the astonishment.
[What is going on?]
[Isn't it too much a compliment? We are flattered! We may even fail to accept it!]
Fairy Li of Misty Cloud Palace wasn't a stranger to the clans in Oracle District. After all, she had been taking charge of this area for many years. She was always arrogant and frank in front of those people.
Sometimes, when a clan didn't hand in enough lotuses, she would unrelentingly baste them right in their faces. She had treated people of the clans in Oracle District as servants and farmers.
She had never talked to anybody with a kind and pleasant countenance since she came to this place!
Ye Shuxin was even worse than a servant to Fairy Li. He was like a pimping grandson to her. Sometimes, even their forefather, Ye Tianchen, could only be coldly scolded in front of Fairy Li!
However, suddenly, Ye Clan became an important ally of Misty Cloud Palace?
It was already inconceivable, but actually, Ye Nantian, who only became the new Chief a few days back, became Misty Cloud Palace's honorable guest!
That was… absurd, wasn't it?
It was so unspeakably unbelievable!
Everybody surprisedly stared at Ye Nantian. [This new Chief of Ye Clan is actually so excellent?]
Unexpectedly, what they saw was Ye Nantian widely opening his mouth in surprise, too.
He looked shocked too.
[I… I… Since when am I powerful like this… Why am I so awesome?]
[Why didn't I know it myself?]
[Why?]
When everybody was still in shock, Fairy Li, who just astonished all the others, did something even more shocking. She turned around and faced Ye Nantian with a humble smile like the wind in spring that could melt the ice of the winter. She actually bowed and said, "Chief Ye, I am late. Please forgive me."
She was respectful and cautious, like a small figure from the bottom of the society had suddenly met a significant figure from the upper class with all her respects.
The humble way she acted shocked everybody else again.
People's eyes not only shot out from the eye frames but also exploded off the eye frames! [1]
[Holy sh*t!]
[What the hell happened?]
[What is going on?]
[This has gone too far, hasn't it?]
[How could Ye Nantian be treated so respectfully like this? Isn't it insane?]
Ye Nantian was also utterly surprised, but the lady was showing respect to him, he had to give a polite and decent response, suppressing down the rolling astonishment in his heart, "You are being too humble, Fairy Li. You are a reasonable person, who just spoke justice for us. I am grateful for it. Who am I to forgive you?"
Li Yunxuan was still utterly respectful, "What are you talking about, Chief Ye? I will never disobey your words, Chief. I would even die for you!"
The entire place was bursting into an uproar!
[What the f*ck! What is it? She would die for him?]
[Are they still people of Misty Cloud Palace?]
[What has Ye Nantian done? Did he do anything? Who is he? What has he been through all these years? How did he make Misty Cloud Palace respect him like this?]
[Did he hook up with not only the Saintess of Qiong-Hua Palace but also some important people in Misty Cloud Palace, like an elder or something, because he is handsome?]
[Why would Misty Cloud Palace's lady be so humble to him?]
Well, their eyes saw reality, and they did have a reasonable guess, although it was Ye Nantian's son who had hooked up with an elder of Misty Cloud Palace instead of Ye Nantian himself. However, what caused the current situation was not because somebody hooked up with somebody else… No matter what, they had a fair guess…
Ye Nantian was shocked and just stayed in silence.
Li Yunxuan continued, "Justice is inside everybody's heart. No one confounds right and wrong. Qiong-Hua Palace people are acting in opposition to right principles, disrespecting others' interests. What we need is only one word from Chief Ye, and we will drive their people out of Oracle District! No one from Qiong-Hua Palace will be allowed to enter this district ever!"
"Hiss…."
Lots of people hissed at the same time.
Everybody felt like the world had gone crazy, that it was going to explode or something…
Nobody believed what they just heard!
[Are we all in a nightmare?]
[This is too horrible, isn't it?]
They couldn't believe what Li Yunxuan just said. [What did she just say?]
What she said, she wasn't speaking as an individual. When she spoke, she represented Misty Cloud Palace. The promise she made was a promise of Misty Cloud Palace.
As long as Ye Nantian gave them a word, Misty Cloud Palace would declare a war against Qiong-Hua Palace!
They would fight to the death!
One of the two grand palaces would die eventually!
That was it.
Misty Cloud Palace and Qiong-Hua Palace, as two of the most powerful great forces in the realm, once they started a war, a war only could be stopped by the death of one side—such a situation would only lead to countless corpses with blood floating like rivers on the ground!
At least a million influential cultivators of the world would be involved into the war! It would be a disaster to the martial world!
It would be the biggest disaster in ten thousand years!
It would be more horrible than the disaster Xiao Monarch had caused before!
All that it took to start such a tragic war was a word from Ye Nantian!
What was needed was only Ye Nantian's nod.
Fairy Cheng nearly exploded because of the fury in her heart. She glared at Li Yunxuan with confusion. "Li Yunxuan, do you even know what you are talking about? Do you know what you are doing? What happens today only concerns the dignity of us Qiong-Hua Palace. What does it concern Misty Cloud Palace? What do you want by interfering with us? Do you only want to show your authority and prestige?"
