Above the Skies Chapter 13 part1

Chapter 13 - Small Wind Beads

The top of Qiyun mountain, within a large sect. 

In the center of the sect was a large building, the palace, also known as 'The Temple of the Gods'.

The palace was surrounded by an abnormal amount of qi, many times more than in the outside. The density of the qi was so thick that it appeared as a light fog, granting the temple a mysterious air. 

A place like this was surely a blessing for all who lived there, however only one person had access to it. 

The Sovereign, Hei Ban!

 The qi originated from a well in the backwoods of the temple. From within the well, a nearly endless stream of black smoke spewed out, however the black color dispersed quickly, seemingly absorbed by a large flower planted nearby.

The flower consisted of white and black petals. As the black petals absorbed the well's qi, the white petals releasing the purified form.

This flower was the same flower that Zhou Tianyin, Yu Sheng, and Wang Xiong were looking for. Its latent purifying ability made it a true gift from the heavens. 

Currently, a few meters away from the temple, a group of disciples stood solemnly. Within their hands was an enchanted golden jewel. As flames burst skyward from the enchantment, a demonic tiger struggled to move forward, countless wounds covering his body.

Beside the tiger stood a burly man wearing black robes. From underneath his red hair, a single black eye peered in amusement at the tigers actions as the man placed countless medicines into the jewel.

"Ju Men, there is no use in resisting. This Fire Dan Array leaves no chance of escape! The moment the flower provides another solid amount of qi, you will be thrown in!" The one-eyed man said, a cold smile on his face. 

This Ju Men was a member of one of the first groups that headed to reinforce the tomb of the gods. However, the moment they realized that the call was a trap, it was too late. At this moment, all Ju Men could do was watch as his clansmen were forced into the jewel's fire array.

"Hei Ban, we gave you face and came to help you when you called. Yet you actually dared to ambush us and steal our tiger dan?" Ju Men's eyes were full of hatred. 

The one-eyed man smiled coldly. "Ju Men, if you wish to blame someone about your current state, you have no one to blame but yourself! Who told you to bring the tiger dan along? If it stayed within the clan then I would have never dared, but allowing it out with little protection, you would have to be an idiot to think that I would not want it for myself!"

"The moment my Tiger Clan finds out-"

"Ha!" Hei Ban laughed coldly. "Find out? Other than us, who knows that you are here? Moreover, even if they did know, I would not care! That tiger dan is worth getting on the clans bad side!"

Hei Ban snarled. "The moment I get out, you will pay!"

"You can't get out no matter how hard you try. The same can be said for your precious dan. While we speak, eight of my elders along with all of my disciples are searching for the tiger dan! A few moments ago, they fired the emergency flare. The dan has already been found!" The one eyed man sneered. 

"No..." Ju Men's face fell. 

"If you wish to blame, blame yourself. For me, this is truly a gift from the heavens. I will not let this chance pass by!"

Ju Men lunged forward once more but was repelled by the array surrounding him. 

"I don't even have to do any footwork! I will have you watch as your precious dan is brought to me!" Hei Ban laughed coldly.

"Sovereign, its not good!" Suddenly a call came. 

"What?" Hei Ban looked away from the demonic tiger, turning his attention to a disciple who rushed in.
