Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1178: Started to Unravel?

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Yue Changtian was the prime master of Cold Moon Palace. Basically, he was in an equal position as Zong Xingyu. However, in front of Zong Xingyu, he didn't dare to sound arrogant. He was talking quite humbly to Zong Xingyu.

Zong Xingyu's eyes lit up. He said, "Prime Master Yue, do you know anything about that secret organization?"

Everybody started to look at Yue Changtian. They were confused. [We never had a clue about such a big issue. How come the almost weakest sect of the seven great sects would know about it?]

[This is weird.]

"We knew it because of luck. It was after all too much an issue. Besides, we never have any evidence for it. I thought it was impossible to convince others, so I didn't spread the information." Yue Changtian sighed and said, "We recruited a young disciple who had just ascended from the lower realm, Ye Chongxiao."

Zong Xingyu nodded and said, "I know that guy. I have heard that he luckily ate the Golden-scale Dragon Fish when arrived in this realm. What a shame that the heavens didn't bless him in the end!"

Yue Changtian glanced at Wu Huitian of Saint Sunlight Sect and Yun Xiran of Saint Starlight Sect with a pair of cold eyes. The two prime masters' faces turned red.

Yue Changtian then showed an ambiguous smile and said, "Because of Ye Chongxiao's discernment, we discovered something about that organization.

"After that, we know that there has been a mysterious and horrible organization hiding in Qing-Yun Realm…"

He briefly told the others all the information he had about that secret organization. He emphasized the fact that the organization was raising assassins who had the same faces with families or friends of the influential people in Qing-Yun Realm.

Zong Xingyu's face turned darker as he was told more. Finally, he couldn't help raging up and shouting, "An evil organization! An unconscionable and despicable crime! How come nobody has ever noticed their existence before?"

"Whoever noticed it died… except for some of our men. If not for Ye Chongxiao's discernment, over one hundred of my good men might also die in the same trap too!"

Yue Changtian sighed and said, "I heard about it for the first time when Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian reported to me. Whenever I recollect that trap my men nearly died in, I feel scared… Poor Chongxiao, good kid. He would become a significant figure if he were given enough time. However, he died in the hands of some despicable people. Cold Moon Palace couldn't save him… We owe the kid too much…

"We have a pretty high estimation about that secret organization. They are after a big goal. They are strong. They have their forces everywhere. They have money. They have all sorts of terrible methods… They are doing an excellent job in confidentiality… They are obviously a mighty monster that was scaring and surprising!

"According to what they are doing now, we have a bold conjecture. We believe that they are aiming at the whole Qing-Yun Realm… We, as the prime masters of the most powerful sects in Qing-Yun realm, don't have a damn clue about such a monster, even though it has started to do some horrible things in our world. That is what scares us the most.

"Somebody abruptly took away forty-two pairs of Divine Yin Yang Fruit in several days. It must arouse the greed of that organization, so they made the massacre. That is why we now know its existence. Otherwise, I am afraid it will remain a secret…"

That was all he wanted to tell the others. He didn't say much detail about it, but a few sentimental remarks.

He knew that what he had said was enough!

He didn't denounce Saint Sunlight Sect and Saint Starlight Sect for Ye Chongxiao's death either. No matter what they had done, it was over. Besides, it was more like a private matter within the three factions. He didn't want to bring it up formally. Most importantly, he knew Ye Chongxiao was not dead. Ye Clan was allied to Misty Cloud Palace, Cold Moon Palace, and even Qiong-Hua Palace. That meant Ye Clan could be as dominant as a great sect.

The spiritual qi in the Oracle District, which used to be an unattended district, had become standard. The influential sects would soon send their people to settle in that area. That meant people would sooner or later find out the truth that Ye Xiao was Ye Chongxiao. That was why it would be meaningless and a waste of time that Yue Changtian openly denounced the two other factions!

After the breaking news from Yue Changtian, everybody turned serious with an extremely gloomy face!

According to what Yue Changtian said, the secret organization was way more than just powerful! It was apparently the most overwhelming force in the history of the realm!

Zong Xingyu's eyes looked profound. He murmured morosely, "This organization must have much more than just a large number of powerful killers. They must have some top-class dominant cultivators as their leaders to get an essential balance. According to the number of their killers, I am afraid they must have two or more ultimate dominant figures.

"Like Prime Master Yue said, to maintain such a huge organization and keep it undercover, it takes a substantial daily expense… They must have a business as financial support, and it has to be a business that has branches in different places in Qing-Yun Realm. It is difficult to keep such a big business undercover for many years. This organization must have two to three trading cartels in the realm… They have to be the top-level cartels in Qing-Yun Realm!

"There is the manpower they have to concern… They must have hundreds of thousands people to maintain the project of training those assassins who have certain appearances. They must have raised other assassins too… How many people do they have? Assassins?

"To make sure their assassination can be perfectly safe, they will have to build an intelligence department, which should be much better than the assassination group… How many people do they have in their intelligence department?

"None of these people I mentioned above are in their leadership, except the several unlimited dominant cultivators I said at the beginning.

"There must be a group of top-level cultivators to build up their leadership!

"I guess… there must be…" He paced around and became more sullen. In the end, he said, "Ten thousand men… even more…

"We still haven't mentioned their administrative department…

"Besides… It is a huge organization we are talking about… They must have quite a lot of people working as executioners… These men must also be superior cultivators…

"All in all, I am afraid this organization has no less than two million people. What?" He himself was terrified by the conclusion. He looked pale in the face because of fear.
