Ye Futian walked out of the Imperial Advisor's Residence. Although Feixue couldn't see him, she was still looking in the direction of Ye Futian's departure with a bright smile on her face.
Everything was fine on this trip.
Ye Futian headed outside. At that moment, a group of people came from outside the Imperial Advisor's Residence. The person in the lead was Li Yao.
After seeing Ye Futian, Li Yao stopped and said, "Seventh Swordsman."
"Your Highness," Ye Futian also stopped and bowed.
"Where are we going?" Li Yao asked.
"I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. I'm preparing to go out and refine my swordsmanship. I hope to break into the Saint Plane one day," Ye Futian replied.
Li Yao smiled and nodded. "It seems that the day Brother Seventh Swordsman returns, Dali Dynasty will have one more peerless swordsman."
Ye Futian did not say much and said, "Your Highness, farewell."
"Yeah." Li Yao nodded. "I have something to discuss with the Master, so I won't be seeing you off."
Ye Futian and Li Yao brushed past each other and headed in different directions. Li Yao headed for the Imperial Advisor's Residence, while Ye Futian headed for King Li's Residence.
Outside the Imperial Advisor's Residence, Li Yao and the others landed and asked for an audience. They entered the residence and bowed slightly when they saw the Imperial Advisor. "Master."
"Your Highness." Although the Imperial Preceptor was sitting there, he still nodded and called out.
"Are you about to enter the Divine Path, Seventh Swordsman?" Li Yao asked with a smile.
"It should be soon." Imperial Preceptor nodded.
"Brother Seventh Swordsman's talent is unparalleled. Dali Dynasty rarely sees someone like that in a hundred years. If he were to enter the Divine Path, how magnificent would he be?" Li Yao smiled and said.
The Imperial Preceptor nodded slightly and asked, "What brings Your Highness here?"
"Yes." Li Yao's expression turned serious when he heard what the Imperial Advisor said. He said, "I have received news that the one who killed Brother Yuan Jin in the battlefield of the Empty Realm may have come to Emperor Li's Realm. However, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find such a person. However, there has been news in recent days that this person is likely to return from the Lower Worlds. I came here to ask Master if you and your brothers would like to go to the Lower Worlds together?"
The Imperial Advisor looked up at Li Yao and said, "There are bound to be many who perish on the battlefield. It is Yuan Jin's destiny to perish on the battlefield. There is no need to take it to heart, Your Highness."
Li Yao nodded, but he couldn't let go of this matter.
Ye Futian had left a deep impression on him.
Back in the Nine States, he had not taken him seriously at all. But on the battlefield of the Empty Realm, the man he had once regarded as an ant had utterly defeated him and even threatened his life.
Senior Brother Yuan Jin's talent was unparalleled. He borrowed the Way to enter the Saint Plane, but he was still defeated. If Ye Futian were to grow, he would be a great threat. Even as an opponent, Yuan Jin had to admit that Ye Futian was a rare genius, just like the Seventh Swordsman.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yao bowed slightly to the Imperial Advisor and said, "I will take my leave now."
When he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. However, after taking a few steps, he felt as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across his mind, causing his head to violently tremble and his feet to stiffen.
Then, his expression kept changing and his heart was beating rapidly.
"Impossible …" Li Yao's heart twitched. He wanted to deny this sudden thought, but this fleeting thought lingered in his mind.
Ye Futian, the Seventh Swordsman.
Both were rare geniuses, able to withstand the attacks of Saints. It was said that Ye Futian had come to the Dali Dynasty, and he might be held up by something. The Seventh Swordsman had made a name for himself in the Dali Dynasty. He came from the Lower Worlds and entered the Way with the sword.
He received news that Ye Futian was coming back. At this time, the Seventh Swordsman went out for a trial …
Why would he go out for a trial at this time?
He did not connect the two of them together. Even when he heard that the Seventh Swordsman was going out for a trial, he did not think of it. After talking with the Imperial Advisor, he thought of Ye Futian and the Seventh Swordsman, and such a thought flashed through his mind.
So, his heart trembled fiercely.
"Master, where is the Seventh Swordsman going for a trial?" Li Yao turned around and asked. Even at this moment, he was still not sure, so he turned around and asked the Imperial Advisor.
"I don't know. It could be anywhere," said the Imperial Advisor.
"I would like to take the Seventh Swordsman to the army for a trial, and I ask for your permission," Li Yao bowed and said. Feixue, who was next to him, seemed to have sensed something. Her expression changed slightly, and she looked at her father. The Imperial Advisor said, "Your Highness, cultivation follows your heart. Since the Seventh Swordsman wants to go out for a trial, let him go."
Li Yao looked at the Imperial Advisor, then bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
After saying this, he bowed and left the Imperial Advisor's Residence.
He was not sure about this, and he did not dare to say it rashly. What if he was wrong?
If it was as he guessed, the Seventh Swordsman would definitely go to the Lower Worlds.
And in Dali Imperial City, if the Seventh Swordsman wanted to go to the Lower Worlds, the best way was King Li's Palace.
"Let's go." Li Yao stepped out and led his people in the direction of King Li's Palace.
"Father, His Highness wants to kill," in the Imperial Advisor's Residence, Feixue's expression changed, and she said to the Imperial Advisor.
The Imperial Advisor looked into the distance and sighed inwardly. So that was it.
At this moment, he understood why the Seventh Swordsman wanted to leave.
If he did not leave, Li Yao would not have thought of it.
If he did not leave, what would the final outcome be? With the Seventh Swordsman's talent and temperament, if he had stayed to cultivate in Dali Dynasty, what would have happened?
Before the Seventh Swordsman, his disciple Wang Zhong had cultivated beside him, but Wang Zhong's hatred for him had always been there. This kind of persistence was his temperament.
But what was more difficult than persistence was letting go.
The Seventh Swordsman chose to let go.
He did not expect that as the Imperial Advisor of Dali at the peak of Saint Plane, he would learn so much from a junior.
The Great Path was boundless. With the temperament he had shown, he would definitely be able to do it.
Thinking of this, the Imperial Advisor's will at the peak of Saint Plane radiated, and in an instant, it went to a very distant place, descending upon Dali Academy.
In Dali Academy, Yan Yuan seemed to feel something and looked up, saying, "Master."
"Yan Yuan." The Imperial Advisor's voice came from the air and fell into Yan Yuan's mind. He said, "Go to King Li's Palace to see your brother off."
"To where?" Yan Yuan asked.
"The Nine States of Emperor Xia's Realm," the Imperial Advisor's voice fell again. Yan Yuan stared into the void and stood still, but he did not respond.
"Why?" Yan Yuan hesitated and asked.
He rarely asked his teacher for a reason, but this time, he did.
"In Emperor Li's Realm, he was your junior brother, the Seventh Swordsman. After Emperor Li's Realm, there will be no more Seventh Swordsman in Dali." The Imperial Advisor's voice was heard in Yan Yuan's mind. Yan Yuan closed his eyes and seemed to have comprehended something. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to have understood something and said, "I understand now."
After saying this, Yan Yuan's body flashed and disappeared from Dali Academy.
King Li's Palace, the Imperial Advisor's Residence, and the Dali Academy were all on Emperor Li's Avenue, so they were not far from each other.
It did not take long for Ye Futian to arrive at King Li's Palace. Li Yang and Li You were surprised to see him and asked, "Seventh Swordsman, what brings you here?"
"I wish to travel to the Lower Worlds and train in order to break into the Divine Path. I hope that the young lord and the princess can open the teleportation matrix and send me to the Lower Worlds." The last time he was at King Li's Palace, he had used the teleportation matrix of King Li's Palace to go to the Upper Worlds.
King Li was in charge of the Lower Worlds, and the teleportation formation connected the Upper and Lower Worlds.
"Okay." Li Yang and Li You naturally agreed. How could they refuse Ye Futian's request?
Not to mention that they were already very friendly with Ye Futian, even as a disciple of the Dali Imperial Advisor, he only needed to say the word to use the teleportation matrix.
"Do you want to go now?" asked Li You.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"I'll see you off." Li You smiled and said, "I can go to the Lower Worlds to see my father."
After saying this, the three of them headed toward the teleportation matrix in King Li's Palace.
At this moment, there was a whistling sound behind them. Ye Futian seemed to have sensed something and frowned.
"Brother Seventh Swordsman, please wait." A voice came. It was Li Yao's voice. Ye Futian did not know that Li Yao was suspicious. Ye Futian and the two of them, who had already walked to the teleportation matrix, turned around and looked at Li Yao.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" asked Ye Futian.
"I have something very important to ask Brother Seventh Swordsman to come with me to the Imperial Palace and clear up my doubts," said Li Yao. He did not directly turn hostile. After all, although he was now suspicious, he did not dare to do so until he was completely sure.
After all, behind the Seventh Swordsman was the Dali Imperial Advisor, and he himself was a registered disciple of the Imperial Advisor. If the Imperial Advisor had any ideas about him, it would not do him any good in the future.
Ye Futian showed a strange look, but he returned to normal in an instant and said, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it. If I can do it, I will certainly clear up your doubts."
"This matter is very important, and we need to go to the Imperial Palace. I would like to ask Brother Seventh Swordsman to postpone your trial. It won't take long," continued Li Yao. Li Yao continued. Although he was still polite, Ye Futian had already sensed that something was wrong.
Li Yao's tone and attitude were somewhat abnormal.
After he became the Seventh Swordsman, in order to not reveal any flaws, his character had always been the same. A person's behavior and speech had their own style. At this moment, Li Yao felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that he had already suspected something?
It should not be possible. After all, the Seventh Swordsman and Ye Futian were two completely different people.
Of course, he did not know that the reason why Li Yao was suspicious was that he was going to go out for a trial, and that he was really going to the Lower Worlds.
Li Yao had received news not long ago that Ye Futian might return to Emperor Xia's Realm from the Lower Worlds.
"Your Highness, I have said goodbye to the Master. Please wait for my return," insisted Ye Futian. He could not stay any longer.
Li Yao's heart kept sinking when he heard his response. His speculation was getting closer and closer to the truth, which made his heart extremely cold. Could it be that the person he had been polite to all these days was the person he wanted to kill the most?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. At this moment, a figure descended from the sky. Seeing Yan Yuan, Ye Futian knew that he might have been exposed.
Suddenly, his heart also sank. Would Yan Yuan come to take him?
"I happen to have something to do in the Lower Worlds. The Master asked me to see you off," Yan Yuan stepped forward and said to Ye Futian!
