Voices rang out one after another in the air, and the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm retreated one after another. The Sacred General of Tian and the Sacred General of Dou stepped forward and chased after Cao Kong.
The others continued to move forward in the direction of the battle, and they were all extremely fast.
Xia Qingyuan's eyes swept across the battlefield. Yaya had fallen to the ground below. Ye Wuchen was bathed in endless sword will and said, "Thank you for lending me your sword, Swordmaster."
As his voice fell, the sword will broke through the air and went up into the sky.
This sword was borrowed by the Swordmaster of Lihen to help him in a battle of life and death. Now it was time to return the sword.
Xia Qingyuan saw this scene and was very grateful to the Swordmaster of Lihen. Back then, she had also gone to Lihen Heaven to ask the Swordmaster of Lihen for swordsmanship, and she knew a little about him.
Ye Wuchen landed and sat cross-legged. His aura instantly weakened. Xia Qingyuan and the others continued to move forward.
All the Saints stopped fighting. All the cultivators of the Nine States were injured, and their injuries varied. But at this time, they were all worried about Ye Futian's situation.
Xia Qingyuan had arrived, and the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm had retreated. As long as Ye Futian was fine, the assassination of Emperor Li's Realm could be considered a failure.
Xia Qingyuan and the others continued to move forward. Finally, they saw a group of people coming towards them from afar. The people at the front were Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
At this moment, Xia Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing had happened.
Xia Qingyuan stepped forward and came before Ye Futian. At that moment, both Ye Futian and Yu Sheng were extremely weak. Her expression was extremely cold, and the temperature of the space seemed to have dropped all of a sudden. She said, "Send my orders. In the Empty Realm, kill anyone from Emperor Li's Realm without mercy."
"Yes," the people next to her said.
This time, Emperor Li's Realm had been defeated in the Battle of Empty Realm, but they had ordered cultivators of the Saint Plane to attack Ye Futian. Even Li Yao had come out personally as bait, and they had sent Saints of the Nirvana Plane.
Such behavior was already extremely bad, and Xia Qingyuan could not tolerate it.
Even if Emperor Li's Realm wanted to go to war, it was Emperor Li's Realm who provoked them first.
Many people's hearts trembled. Emperor Xia's Realm and Emperor Li's Realm had always been at odds with each other. This assassination would probably intensify the conflict, and no one knew how it would develop in the future.
"I'll go ahead and see," Ye Futian said. He had not seen anyone else, and he was worried about the safety of the people of the Nine States.
As he moved forward, he finally met up with the Glass Saint, the Village Chief, Saint Xia, and the others. Seeing that everyone was injured, Ye Futian's heart was cold.
The cultivators from Emperor Li's Realm had been targeting him and Yu Sheng, and they had only wanted to repel the others to kill him. They must not have been in the mood to fight, which was why nothing had happened. But it could be seen from the injuries they had sustained that the people from the Nine States must have fought to the death. Otherwise, if they had only taken a step back, the other side would have ignored them and left. How could they have been injured?
When the Swordmaster of Lihen borrowed Ye Wuchen's sword, he had not only borrowed his sword but also his life.
This life should be considered his life.
Perhaps the Swordmaster of Lihen had thought that there would be accidents in the Empty Realm, and that was why he did what he did.
Was this sword lent to Ye Wuchen or Ye Futian?
He did not know, but no matter who he lent it to, it was enough to make him remember that he owed the Swordmaster of Lihen his life.
Finally, they arrived at Yaya's side. Yaya had already fainted. The Village Chief had already arrived and picked her up. The corners of Yaya's mouth and clothes were stained with blood.
Yaya was not the only one who was injured in the assassination. Many others were injured as well. Even the Eldest Brother was severely injured. He was bleeding from all his orifices and was extremely weak.
"Li Yao." Ye Futian clenched his fists. This debt was even deeper.
At this moment, a group of figures broke through the air and came over from afar. The Sacred General of Tian and the Sacred General of Dou and the other cultivators returned and said, "Cao Kong was bent on retreating and couldn't be stopped. Several of the Saint Plane cultivators who participated in the battle were killed on the spot."
"Li Yao of Emperor Li's Realm is no longer in the Empty Realm. He must have activated the spatial matrix and left. Not only that, but Emperor Li's City is now an empty city."
It was obvious that Li Yao had made preparations before he made his move. Regardless of whether he could kill Ye Futian or not, he could have predicted that there would be a big storm later. There was no way he would have stayed in the Empty Realm to wait for Xia Qingyuan to deal with him. It was only natural that he would have left directly.
"Is the Princess alright?" Ye Futian looked up and asked Xia Qingyuan.
This question was naturally not what he meant on the surface.
Of course, he was not blaming Xia Qingyuan. The whole thing had nothing to do with Xia Qingyuan. Moreover, when he came out before, Xia Qingyuan had sent people to protect him. It was all to guard against something.
Although the possibility of Li Yao going crazy was very low, they were still guarding against it.
However, Xiao Sheng's words changed everything and almost killed Ye Futian and the others.
Ye Futian did not think to blame those cultivators who left. The two sides had nothing to do with each other. In Emperor Xia's Realm, he was only the Princess's valet. He had no right to ask them to do anything.
Moreover, when Xiao Sheng came to deliver the message that the Princess had been attacked, they had to leave even if there was only a one percent chance.
They were Emperor Xia's people, the Princess's people, not Ye Futian's people.
"Li Yao invited some Saint Plane cultivators from the Empty Realm to go to the Sacred Mountain and create an illusion to confuse me. They did not really dare to make a move, but they did delay some time. I was too slow to react," Xia Qingyuan said. She knew that if she had been one step late, Ye Futian would have been in real danger.
And it was a miracle that Ye Futian and the others were able to survive this battle.
It was indeed a miracle. If Yaya had not returned to her peak and fought, if the Swordmaster of Lihen had not lent his sword to Ye Wuchen, Ye Futian would not have been alive.
"Princess, I have sinned."
At that moment, a voice was heard. Xia Qingyuan's eyes flashed with coldness when she heard the voice. Her cold eyes slowly turned and looked at the figure coming from behind.
It was Xiao Sheng.
"When Li Yao appeared with many Saint Plane cultivators, I was in a hurry and did not wait for orders. I went straight to Xuanji Mountain to deliver the message, so Brother Ye and the others were attacked. But fortunately, they were all fine." Xiao Sheng bowed to Xia Qingyuan and said, "Please punish me, Princess."
Xiao Sheng took the initiative to ask for forgiveness.
At that moment, he lowered his head, as if he was sincerely admitting his crimes and begging Xia Qingyuan to punish him.
Ye Futian's eyes fell on Xiao Sheng. He had asked Xia Qingyuan if she was fine. His real intention was to deliver the message from Xiao Sheng.
He had guessed before that Xia Qingyuan would not have sent anyone back to transfer them away. Li Yao would not have dared to touch Xia Qingyuan, so he asked what had happened to Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan said that Li Yao was just trying to confuse her and that there had been no real battle.
So, Xiao Sheng came back to deliver the message, and he did it on his own without Xia Qingyuan's orders. What was his intention?
And if that was all there was to it.
When Xiao Sheng rushed to Xuanji Mountain, Cao Kong and the other cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm were there. Seeing this situation, Xiao Sheng should have guessed what had happened. Li Yao's target might have been him, not Xia Qingyuan.
But Xiao Sheng did not hesitate. He called people away and delivered the message that the Princess had been attacked!
At that time, he could be said to have been very decisive. He had come with the intention of taking the people away, and he had taken the people of Divine Cloud Valley with him.
Would Ye Futian believe that Xiao Sheng had done it unintentionally?
It was not just Ye Futian. The people of the Nine States all stared at Xiao Sheng with cold eyes. They saw the cultivators of Emperor Li's Realm surrounding Ye Futian, and he still said that the Princess had been attacked and taken away. To put it in a more serious way, he wanted Ye Futian dead.
But he had done it through someone else.
"You are indeed guilty," Xia Qingyuan said coldly. "The Princess was attacked. When was I attacked?"
"Li Yao led the Saints to surround the Sacred Mountain. The situation was urgent. I immediately asked the people of the Xiao clan to take me there to transfer people. I naturally thought that Li Yao would make a move." Xiao Sheng still lowered his head and said, "In that situation, I had no time to worry."
"No time to worry?" Ye Futian suddenly said, and a look of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He still remembered Xiao Sheng's expression when he delivered the message. It was cold and emotionless.
At that time, Xiao Sheng did not look like he was worried about Xia Qingyuan's safety.
"No matter what, this is my fault. No matter how you punish me, Princess, I have no complaints," Xiao Sheng bowed and said, still very calmly admitting it.
"Ye Futian, what do you think?" Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian and asked. The one who was really in danger this time was Ye Futian. He probably would not let Xiao Sheng go so easily.
This matter was a bit tricky.
Ye Futian would very likely want to kill Xiao Sheng. But even if he had such a thought, Xia Qingyuan would not find it strange, and she could not blame Ye Futian for anything.
However, although Xiao Sheng was guilty, if she were to kill him, she would not be able to explain it to her mother and the Xiao clan.
"I hope that you will look into this matter carefully, Princess. I believe that you will handle it well," Ye Futian said. He did not express his opinion.
"I will." Xia Qingyuan nodded. "Many people are injured. Shall we return to Emperor Xia's Realm first?"
Things here could be delayed, but many of Ye Futian's people were injured, and it was no longer suitable for them to stay in the Empty Realm!
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded, and then the group gathered together and headed in the direction of Emperor Xia's City, ready to leave.
"You're just going to let him go?" Luo Fan's tone was extremely cold. Anyone with eyes could see that Xiao Sheng had schemed against Ye Futian and wanted their lives.
The Princess was Xiao Sheng's cousin, and the Imperial Concubine was Xiao Sheng's aunt. Even if the Princess really wanted to do something to Xiao Sheng, it would not be easy for her to make the decision.
Ye Futian had left this matter to the Princess, Xia Qingyuan, and it would have been very difficult for her to do anything to Xiao Sheng.
"Let him go?" A cold murderous intent flashed in Ye Futian's eyes. "He must die."
Li Yao wanted to kill him because they were enemies. Xiao Sheng wanted his life, and that was even more unforgivable!
