“Army? Are you joking, how can the Lupus Constellation have an army?” The brown short haired young man touched his chin, sneering while looking at his underling at the bottom of the stairs, the sneer lingering on his mouth: “Don’t find all these stupid excuses! Now I highly doubt your powers, after so long, you still have not obtained what I asked you to get. Now that Onyx Soul has also mingled in, can’t you see that the matter is going to be blown up way to large? For this entire period, this young master has been laughed at by others.”

The man in the mask at the bottom of the stairs bowed, he kept quiet out of fear, his back was drenched with perspiration.

“I will give you one more month, if this matter is not settled, then you can go home and wait, this young master doesn’t want such thrash.”

He rolled the band on his head, his delicate and neutral looking face seemed harmless, but his tone of speech was full of ridicule and cheekiness.

The masked man’s heart shuddered, he knew that the young master may sound like he was joking, but his heart was sinister and extremely cold.

He did not dare to defend himself or plea for leniency, so he hardened his skin and answered: “Yes!”

“Go go.” the young master waved his head, smiling, “You better fight well.”

Upon leaving the big chamber, a gust of cool wind blew over, and feeling all the cold sweat on his body, he could feel his whole body drenched.

“He did not lie.”

From the back of a screen, a pale faced young man walked out. He looked weak, dressed in white, extremely casual, with jet black long hair, but his eyes was filled with faint melancholy.

Qiu Zhi Jun, even in the Clan Union, hardly anyone knew of him.

“I know.” The short haired young man laughed, and casually took a small bite from the table and put it in his mouth, mumbling, “I’m just using him to test the Onyx Soul and Honorable Martial Group’s fineness, Second uncle worries too much, and decided to put him in. Even if he died, that would save second uncle’s energy, being so old yet worrying so much will lead to premature death.”

Clan Union, was a group comprised of various clans, while the Sima family, was one of the seven aristocratic families.

Sima Xiao was Sima Family’s Third Branch Sima Tao’s son, Sima Tao died young, so Sima Xiao and his mum supported each other. Within the three branches, it was the weakest on power. With a single parent, he naturally was bullied. But even in the midst of it, he always laughed it off.

Until Sima xiao was 14 years of old, and went through a huge transformation. The usually low profile Sima Xiao suddenly emerged as third in their clan’s competition.

Sima Xiao was then pulled and dispatched to Yaoguang Star, and who could have thought that in a mere three years, Yaoguang Star suddenly increased in power, their tax and finance gained triple in profits. Not only that, in three years, he sent out more than 7 veins of ores, so the clan elders of the Clan Union all had a good impression of him.

His sudden emergence, caused jealousy in the first and second branch, and after much consideration, the Clan Union sent him to investigate Lacerta Constellation. Lacerta Constellation was one of Northern Sky’s 19 Continents, their local powers were tangled and complicated, causing the situation to be extremely complex, where the Clan Union had absolutely no influence.

No one could have thought that, Sima Xiao would overturn the entire constellation, after much pulling and fighting, in a short span of three years, the Clan Union not only had places to live in Lacerta Constellation, but also firmly occupied ¾ of Lacerta Constellations territories.

Sima Xiao’s outstanding performance caused the higher ups of the Clan Union to look at him, but at the same time, it caused panic and wariness amongst the other branches.

He was about the attack the entire Lacerta Constellation, but was urgently summoned back home in the glorified name of entrusting a heavy responsibility to him, but it was the first and second branch, who thought to take the opportunity of his.

Returning back to the union, Sima Xiao apparently had plans on his own, other than frequently visiting the powerless clan elders, he would only stay at home, and rarely went out. But, no one knew that, in the midst of the quietness, he was plotting.

Qiu Zhi Jun was his senior brother.

“But, Tang Tian’s side actually has such a strong tactics genius, causing me to be jealous! The inside information of Honorable Martial Group is much more profound than ours.” Sima Xiao had crumbs all over his face, and spoke unclearly.

Qiu Zhi June shook his head, and said indifferently: “It isn’t Honorable Martial Group’s people. This person of Tang Tian, his personality is rather calm. It should be his own person, if what the rumours say is true, then the thing about Southern Cross Army leaving some things, might just be true.”

“That’s reasonable.” Sima Xiao licked the crumbs off his fingers, without a care for image, “If we had our own army, then things would be much easier.”

“Aren’t you making one now?” Qiu Zhi Jun was motionless, even when talking.

“Hey hey!” Sima Xiao did not have the least bit embarrassment upon being discovered, and continued smiling, “Oh well, senior brother your physique is too weak, worrying too much can cause death, if that happens then who will help me take care of all these trivial matters.”

Qiu Zhi Jun acted like he did not hear him, “The two branches have lost a lot at Lacerta Constellation, Sima Hong had died in war, Sima Yu Guang is injured.”

Sima Xiao had a look of grief while laughing, “Outstanding talents that die early, that is the great loss of our Sima Family! Send two gifts to the two branches later, hopefully the two uncles won’t be too sad.”

“They hate your bones now.” Qiu Zhi Jun was too lazy to care about Sima Xiao’s acting.

Sima Xiao had purposely left ¼ of Lacerta Constellation, cause he knew the two branches would want to come and steal the show. In the three years, he did not kill off the powerful figures of Lacerta Constellation, but forced them all to gather in a corner, but did not attack. He gave them a living chance to breathe, and even wanted to know how many starry doors were in the region that connected to Hercules Constellation.
