After Ye Futian and the others entered the Upper Worlds, they first found an inn to stay in.
The Upper Worlds were different from the Lower Worlds. Although the Upper Worlds were vast, the population was very dense. Countless grand ancient temples were located here.
After they settled down, Ye Futian followed the Village Chief to Emperor Xia's Palace. These days, news of Jieyu had been hanging in his mind. Now that the matters of the Palace had been settled, the first thing he did when he stepped into the Upper Worlds was to find Xia Qingyuan.
The others wandered around, familiarizing themselves with Emperor Xia's Realm, and finding out the distribution of the main forces in the Upper Worlds, as well as a complete map.
However, Ye Futian did not know that as soon as they entered the inn to rest, someone had already noticed them.
Somewhere in Emperor Xia's Realm, there was a group of magnificent palaces, from which a sharp will emanated.
This was Jueying Palace, the place where the Jueying Sword Saint cultivated.
At this time, the Jueying Sword Saint was sitting in a pattern cultivating. Invisible sword will flowed around him. He opened his eyes and looked forward. "What is it?" he asked.
"Palace Lord, someone from Tianji Pavilion has come to visit. They say they have news of Ye Futian and the others," the person who appeared bowed. Sword will flashed in the Jueying Sword Saint's eyes.
"Please." The Jueying Sword Saint's expression was cold. Ever since Pei Qianying had been crippled, he had been paying attention to Ye Futian's movements. But the holy lands of the Nine States were under the direct control of Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia had set the rules in the Lower Worlds, so he did not dare to act rashly.
But how could he forget that his most beloved son had been crippled in front of him?
These days, his sword heart had been unstable and often wavering. He had been affected by this matter, so he had paid a price to have Tianji Pavilion inquire about Ye Futian in the Nine States.
Tianji Pavilion did not pay attention to what happened in the Nine States because it was not worth it. No one was willing to pay a price to find out what was happening in the Lower Worlds. For Tianji Pavilion, they would not do anything that was not beneficial. But the Jueying Sword Saint had paid a great price, so they had personally sent people to the Lower Worlds to monitor their movements. Tianji Pavilion knew everything that had happened in the Lower Worlds.
Soon, a figure wearing a white robe appeared. The white robe was embroidered with the pattern of Yin and Yang fish. The man's eyes were narrow. He bowed slightly to the Jueying Sword Saint and said, "Greetings, Jueying Sword Saint."
The Jueying Sword Saint remained seated and said, "Get to the point."
"Ye Futian has already entered the Upper Worlds. Other than Ye Futian, there are also many people from the Holy Zhi Palace in the Lower Worlds. Among them, there are three saints. One of them may be the reincarnation of the Sword Saint of the Void, Yaya, the sword servant of the Sword Saint of the Void, whom you have met before. There is also the Lord of the Lapis Lazuli Holy Temple, a holy land of the Nine States. In addition, there are many other powerful sages.
The person from the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries said with a smile. His words were very detailed, and everyone in the future would know everything.
The Jueying Sword Saint frowned. There were three Saints, and one of them was the reincarnation of the Sword Saint of the Void.
Even he couldn't face such a lineup head-on.
"Where is he now?" asked the Jueying Sword Saint.
"He is staying at an inn. The Sword Saint may not have heard of him. As for Ye Futian, he followed a sword servant of the Sword Saint of the Void to Emperor Xia's Palace. It is likely that he wants to pay a visit. As for the specific reason, we do not know. The Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries will keep an eye on it," said the man.
The Jueying Sword Saint nodded. The man continued, "There is one more thing I need to remind you of. Ye Futian's performance in the Sacred War of the Nine States was extremely outstanding. He is known to be unparalleled below Saint Plane in the Nine States. His combat ability is invincible below Saint Plane. Perhaps Emperor Xia has already noticed him. As far as the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries knows, the Little Princess has personally gone to the Holy Zhi Palace."
The Jueying Sword Saint's expression grew more and more awkward. Ye Futian was the Palace Lord of the Heavenly Path Palace in the Lower Worlds, a subordinate of Emperor Xia. If what the man said was true, and he had already attracted Emperor Xia's attention, then if he killed Ye Futian, would it cause Emperor Xia to be dissatisfied?
However, since many people from the Holy Zhi Palace had come from the Upper Worlds, perhaps he could start with them and test Emperor Xia's attitude?
"Father." A voice was heard. Pei Qianying had come over. He no longer had the bearing he had in the past. His long hair was messy, and his eyes were full of malice.
After his Life Spirit had been destroyed, his path of cultivation had been cut off. Everyone looked at him coldly. His former fellow disciples of Lihen Heaven looked at him with only sorrow. He had also lost the right to cultivate in Lihen Heaven.
Even the people of the Jueying Palace looked at him differently. Once, everyone had worshipped and respected him, but now there was only coldness and sympathy.
"I want him dead," Pei Qianying said viciously.
The Jueying Sword Saint looked at Pei Qianying with some dissatisfaction, but in the end he did not say anything. He could only sigh. After all, he had once spoiled his son the most, and he understood Pei Qianying's pain.
"Come with me to Lihen Heaven," said the Jueying Sword Saint.
Pei Qianying immediately understood his father's intentions. He nodded and said, "Alright."
…
The Lihen Sword Palace in Lihen Heaven was the number one holy land of swordsmanship in Emperor Xia's Realm.
The Swordmaster of Lihen was now the number one Sword Saint in Emperor Xia's Realm. He was the strongest figure in swordsmanship, and his fame did not only exist in Emperor Xia's Realm.
From this, it could be seen what kind of status Lihen Heaven had in Emperor Xia's Realm.
Lihen Heaven was like a fairyland beyond the world. It was misty, like a place where immortals lived.
At this time, in Lihen Heaven, in front of a Saint's palace, Pei Qianying knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the person in front of him. He wept bitterly. In front of him was a swordsman who exuded an extremely sharp aura. He was naturally also a Saint.
"In the past, I was taught by Master, and I worked hard to cultivate. I always wanted to fight for glory for the sect, to go to Heaven beyond Heaven, and to receive personal guidance from the Swordmaster. But now my cultivation has been destroyed, and I am no longer fit to cultivate under Master. I dare not dirty Master's eyes, and I have not come to pay my respects for many years. I hope Master will forgive me."
Pei Qianying's voice was sincere. If it had been in the past, he would not have been able to do this. But now, face and dignity were worth nothing to him. He only wanted revenge.
"Get up and talk," Pei Qianying's Master said.
However, Pei Qianying still knelt there and said, "Your disciple is ashamed. This time I came to see Master because I received news that the person who destroyed my cultivation has come to the Upper Worlds. I was defeated in the battle of Jiutian Temple all those years ago, and my strength was inferior. I had no face to bring this matter up again, and I did not have the face to ask the sect to step in. But because of this battle, I affected the reputation of Lihen Heaven, and was humiliated in public. My Life Spirit was destroyed, and many people talked about it. I hope that one day I can see the swordsmen of Lihen Heaven crush Ye Futian and wash away the face I lost."
As he finished, he continued to kowtow until his head hit the ground. He said, "Your disciple is useless, and I could not wash away the shame myself. Please forgive me, Master."
The person in front of him looked at him. Although Pei Qianying's voice was sincere, and he kept saying that he was thinking about the reputation of Lihen Heaven, how could he not understand that Pei Qianying wanted to avenge him?
However, this was understandable.
"What is his cultivation level now?"
"Master, he is an upper-level Archmage. This person is arrogant and thinks that he is invincible below the Saint Plane. He is known as the number one below the Saint Plane in the Nine States. His combat ability is extremely strong, and he is unparalleled in the Nine States. People in the Lower Worlds say that even in Emperor Xia's Realm, no one below the Saint Plane can defeat him," Pei Qianying looked up and said.
On both sides of him, some young people frowned and glanced coldly at Pei Qianying, and there was a hint of disgust in the depths of their eyes.
Pei Qianying had been a proud figure of Lihen Heaven in the past, and he had entered the Jiutian Ranking.
Now, in order to avenge him, he had put down his dignity and deliberately used words to provoke them, wanting them to attack him.
"Fengxiao and Mo Li have been to the Lower Worlds. The last time the Imperial Mausoleum appeared in the Lower Worlds, it was this person who helped the people of his holy land take the inheritance of Renhuang, right?" asked the elder.
"Yes, he has a very powerful divine implement in his hands. It is said that it is ranked third on the Divine Implement Ranking of the Nine States. At that time, he was surrounded and killed several peak Sages by himself," answered someone beside him.
"Ye Wuchen, who took Renhuang's sword will, and the person who received the inheritance of the Imperial Mausoleum all followed Ye Futian to the Upper Worlds," said Pei Qianying.
The elder glanced at Pei Qianying, then looked at the people around him and said, "Since he was defeated in Jiutian Temple, let's follow the rules of Jiutian Temple."
Hearing this, Pei Qianying clenched his fists and prostrated on the ground.
The Jueying Sword Saint did not speak. He stood quietly to the side, looking at Pei Qianying prostrating on the ground and sighing to himself.
But this time, he had put down his dignity, and it could be said that he had avenged himself.
He knew very well that no matter who won or lost, the moment Lihen Heaven decided to attack, the result was already decided.
…
Ye Futian did not know that he had been targeted the moment he set foot in the Upper Worlds. Of course, he had thought that the Jueying Sword Saint or Lihen Heaven would send people to deal with him, so he had invited Yaya and the Glass Saint to the Upper Worlds to guard against them.
At this time, he came to Emperor Xia's Palace and looked at the palace above the Nine Heavens. His heart was slightly shaken. Was this the Renhuang Palace? What an imposing manner. It truly transcended the world.
He stepped forward and came to the foot of the Renhuang Palace. There were cultivators guarding the Heavenly Gate. Seeing the Village Chief and Ye Futian appear, several people stepped forward and blocked their way.
"Who are you?" asked the guard.
"Ye Futian, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State of the Nine States, under the command of Emperor Xia, requests an audience with Princess Xia Qingyuan," Ye Futian took a deep breath and said.
The guards looked at each other and did not doubt Ye Futian's words. Who would dare to lie outside Emperor Xia's Palace? They were looking to die.
"Let me make the report," said one of the guards.
"Very well." Ye Futian nodded and waited quietly in front of the Heavenly Gate.
Emperor Xia's Palace had a strict hierarchy. If it was not a particularly important matter, it had to be reported from the bottom to the top. Ye Futian was a little anxious and kept his eyes fixed forward.
After a long time, someone came to deliver the message. It was a maid, but she was extremely cold. She looked at Ye Futian and said, "You are Ye Futian."
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"The Princess said that she does not want to see anyone today. She asked me to personally see you off, Palace Lord Ye," said the maid.
"…"
