Chapter 1164: Fish? Men? Ants!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
The fish didnāt swim away far. Among the dozens of fish, only a few truly swam away and left the group.
Most of the fish stayed after being alerted. They just kept swimming around, as if they were waiting for something. After a while, they all looked at the spot where the bait had been hanging. They just didnāt want to leave.
Apparently, they knew how dangerous it was, but they still wanted to eat the bait. They couldnāt even leave.
Ye Xiao sighed when he saw it.
The greedy fish were exactly like the people who were crowding in Heavenās Terrace, having the same look in the eyes!
They knew what it might cost to take the bait, they knew they might die for it, yet they still kept scrambling for it!
After a while, with a sound of something dropping into water, another bait came down again. It wasnāt at the exact spot this time, but quite close.
The fish was swimming over the bait and hesitating for a while, and then swam slowly to the bait in the endā¦
Some just kept moving around the bait; some used their tails to touch itā¦ some even hit the bait with their headsā¦
However, no matter what they did, they did it gently. Apparently, they had the lesson of some fish being caughtā¦
The man who was holding the bait was calm and steady. No matter how the fish kept touching the bait in different ways, he just stayed still. No matter what, he just wouldnāt pull the string.
After a while, a big fish seemed to be sure that there was no danger anymore, so it rushed over and bit the bait with its big mouthā¦
However, when it took the bait, the string was tensed. The hook tightly held its mouth. The big fish painfully twisted itself, trying to get away, but it only got itself pulled up by the string soonā¦
It was impossible for the fish to fight the power of the fisherman!
The group of fish started to spread out in panic again. This time, they all went far away. They even stirred up the dust on the bottom of the lake. The water became blurredā¦
When the water became clear again, another bait was hanging right there, waiting for the next fish to fail in resisting the lureā¦
The fish gathered together again, moving around the baitā¦ They were more cautious now, but still couldnāt truly leave this spotā¦
It seemed there were more fish in this group nowā¦
Apparently, some new fish joined themā¦
Ye Xiao quietly observed everything, watching the fish go away and gather up again. He watched them blur the water, touch the bait, bite the bait, get hooked, spread out again, and gather up againā¦ Another fish got caughtā¦
Again and again, it was a loop. Everything repeatedā¦
Ye Xiao showed a bitter smile.
[What is the difference?]
[What is to be hooked? And who is fishing?]
[Maybeā¦ in the eyes of the man who put down the fruitsā¦ we are just like these fishā¦ Arenāt we?]
[Before coming to Heavenās Terrace, one will never realize how insignificant we are; nor will one know what we are in the real powerful peopleās eyes.] Ye Xiao was lost in thoughts while staying under the water.
[What does he want? Nobody knows how far he is from us.]
[What does he treat us as?]
[Does he see us as a bunch of stupid fish with only greediness?]
He was touched. Suddenly, he was like a fallen leaf, flowing up in the water.
He did it out of his instinct. Even the small fish around him didnāt notice there was something not belonging to this environment. After a while, he had risen up to the surface of the water. ā Puff! ā He left the water and stood back on the lakefront.
He looked down to watch the clear water again, while his mind was deep in thoughts.
[Who knows how many fish are there in the water?]
[Who knows how many cultivators are there in Qing-Yun Realm?]
[There is the Land of Han-Yang below Qing-Yun Realm. People in Qing-Yun Realm see those in the Land of Han-Yang as ants.]
[They look down arrogantly from a much higher position to the lower depths.]
[The wars between kingdoms, between different forcesā¦ are merely jokes in Qing-Yun Realm peopleās eyes. One after another. It is a loop. Everything is the same!]
[However, there was Human Realm Upon Heavens beyond Qing-Yun Realm.]
[Those who live in Human Realm Upon Heavens, how do they see us as?]
[Do they look down upon us arrogantly in just the same way?]
Ye Xiao half closed his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head up, looking into the void with a pair of cold eyes.
[Is there a stronger world beyond Human Realm Upon Heavens?]
[When you treat people like fish, are there anybody treating you as another fish? Or an ant?]
A white shadow with white clothes flicking the air showed up.
A mass of cold qi showed up in Heavenās Terrace!
He naturally showed up with his real face.
The unique flow of the Frost Sword.
However, no matter how famous he was, those men in this place just took a look at him. That was all.
He was Han Bingxue. So what?
Nobody among these men could defeat him. However, no matter how dominant he was, he might not be able to get the fruits!
He would probably die, just like the others, if he dared to grab the fruits!
Countless level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators died in this place!

Han Bingxue showed and pretended that he knew nobody in this place. He walked straight ahead arrogantly just like usual. Wherever he walked to, people stepped aside to make way to him.
Even though everybody knew that most people would die attempting to get the fruits, they still didnāt dare to mess with people like Han Bingxue.
After all, he might not be able to get the fruits, but he could quickly kill them all before he tried.
Even though they knew he was just like a dead man, they wouldnāt take the risk to get themselves killed, also to get beaten before touching the fruits!
[Weā¦ We shall not fight a man who is going to die!]
