Guests gathered in the Xiao clan's manor, and the place was bustling with activity.
Old Man Xiao sat at the head of the table. Not far below him, Xiao Sheng sat there quietly. Many people came to congratulate him, toasting him and sending him off.
Whenever someone came to toast him, Xiao Sheng would return the toast, appearing very humble. However, there was also a sense of indifference in his humble demeanor.
That indifference gave people a sense of distance.
Many people sensed that the young master of the Xiao clan was somewhat different. His entire aura had changed after breaking through to Saint Plane.
The Xiao Sheng of the past was smooth and smooth, making people feel friendly, proud, and smooth. But now, he only had that kind of indifference.
It was as if he had become indifferent to all these customs.
The Xiao Sheng of the present had indeed become indifferent. He did not even care about the Xiao clan itself, let alone these guests.
In the Dao of the world, only cultivation was the most fundamental Dao.
"Xiao Sheng." A gentle voice was heard at that moment, and an elegant figure was seen standing before Xiao Sheng. That person was Gongsun Ni, who had been engaged to Xiao Sheng all those years ago. The Xiao clan and Divine Cloud Valley had intended to unite by marriage through the two of them, but due to what happened in the Empty Realm, the marriage was terminated.
"Congratulations on breaking into Saint Plane," Gongsun Ni said with a smile.
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "I owe you for what happened back then."
He did not hate Divine Cloud Valley for breaking the engagement just because he had broken into Saint Plane. It was because he had paid the price for what he had done, and he had even dragged Gongsun Ni down with him.
Gongsun Ni smiled and said, "It's all in the past now."
She could also tell that Xiao Sheng had let go of the past and stepped into Saint Plane. He was even more outstanding than before, and perhaps one day, he would regain recognition and take charge of the Xiao clan.
Gongsun Zhong also came to congratulate him, but Gongsun Ni's sister, Gongsun Xuan, did not come forward. When she saw Gongsun Ni return, she said telepathically, "You won't be tempted just because he has broken into Saint Plane, will you?"
Gongsun Ni looked at her, and she continued, "Some things are done, and I will not accept them again."
Gongsun Ni did not say much, and the atmosphere was still lively.
Old Man Xiao saw the attitudes of everyone and Xiao Sheng, and he felt somewhat gratified. He hoped that Xiao Sheng would be able to achieve something after going out to train in the army.
However, at this moment, Old Man Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked outside the Xiao Clan's manor. A powerful aura was approaching from there. In the distant sky, the wind and clouds whistled and surged towards the Xiao Clan's manor.
His will swept out and he quickly saw the situation in the distance, and his expression changed slightly.
Old Master Xiao was not the only one who sensed it. Some other Saint Realm experts also sensed it one after another. They raised their heads and looked into the distance.
Outside the Xiao Manor, a group of people descended from the sky. It was the people from the Cottage.
At the very front, Ye Futian looked towards the Xiao Clan. His white hair fluttered in the wind, and a voice came from his mouth, "Ye Futian is here to greet the Xiao Clan."
As soon as he finished, he stepped forward and entered the Xiao clan's residence. Yaya, the Glass Saint, the Sword Saint, and the others stood beside him.
The people of the Xiao Clan wanted to stop them, but they heard Old Man Xiao's voice coming from inside.
"Please."
Everyone made way for Ye Futian and the others. They went straight to where the Xiao clan's banquet was held and appeared before everyone.
"Ye Futian," someone said in a low voice.
Everyone turned to look at the young man at the very front. He had white hair and white clothes, and was incomparably handsome. Even though he had not entered the Saint Plane, his bearing was not inferior to Xiao Sheng's at all. In fact, it was even superior.
Xiao Sheng had fallen into dire straits because of Ye Futian. Ye Futian had disappeared for a while, and now, he had once again appeared before everyone.
Moreover, he had come to the Xiao clan's manor right before Xiao Sheng was about to leave. What did he want?
Given the grudge between Ye Futian and Xiao Sheng, everyone clearly did not think that he had come to see him off.
Moreover, with the Sword Saint of the Void by his side, one could feel the tense atmosphere at a glance.
He had come with ill intentions.
After Ye Futian arrived, he did not look at Xiao Sheng. Instead, he bowed slightly to Old Man Xiao and said, "Ye Futian greets Senior Xiao."
Old Man Xiao nodded slightly and asked Ye Futian, "Why have you brought a ninja to the Xiao clan's manor?"
"I would like to ask you a few things," Ye Futian said.
"Go ahead," Old Man Xiao said.
"I went to the Dali Dynasty while I was gone. Did you know?" Ye Futian asked.
"I heard about it recently," Old Man Xiao replied.
"While I was at the Dali Dynasty, someone attacked the Holy Zhi Palace, and later killed two young women, almost poisoning them to death. Did you know about it, senior?" Ye Futian asked again.
Old Man Xiao frowned and continued, "I heard that it was because someone was pursuing a young woman of the Holy Zhi Palace, and his love turned to hate, so he did something crazy."
Xia Qingyuan had investigated Xiao Sheng because of these things, so how could he not know?
Ye Futian did not explain and continued, "I was at the Dali Dynasty preparing to return to Emperor Xia's Realm, and someone sent the news to Prince Li Yao of the Dali Dynasty. My identity was exposed, and I almost died in the Dali Dynasty. Did you know about it, senior?"
Old Man Xiao's face gradually darkened, and he said, "I learned about it not long ago. What are you trying to say?"
"Since you know about it, do you think that it was just a coincidence?" Ye Futian asked again.
"The princess is already investigating this matter. She will find out whether or not it was a coincidence," Old Man Xiao said.
"The princess is half a member of the Xiao Clan. There are some things she knows about, but because of her relationship with the Xiao clan, she cannot do it," Ye Futian said. "So, I am the only one who can do it."
"This matter has something to do with Xiao Sheng," Old Man Xiao said.
"Ye Futian, Xiao Sheng has been cultivating in the Xiao Clan. There is no way he could have been involved in the affairs of the outside world. Don't talk nonsense," Xiao Qianhe said coldly.
Today, they had wanted Xiao Sheng to leave, but Ye Futian had come.
"Ye Futian, do you have any proof that this has something to do with Xiao Sheng?" Old Man Xiao also asked coldly.
Even though the princess trusted him and Emperor Xia had rewarded him, the Xiao clan was still the mother clan of Queen Xiao. Ye Futian's actions seemed too arrogant, and he did not take the Xiao clan seriously at all.
The Queen Xiao had already agreed to let Xiao Sheng leave to cultivate in the military.
"Today, I came here to prove it," Ye Futian replied. He then looked at Xiao Sheng, who was sitting there, and said calmly, "You are now a Saint, and since you want to kill me so badly, I will give you a chance to do so today. If you win, this matter will end here, and the princess will not pursue it further. I will die."
Everyone looked up, and their hearts trembled as they stared at Ye Futian.
Is this guy crazy?
Although his temperament was extraordinary, he was still a Sage, while Xiao Sheng had already stepped into the Saint Plane.
Ye Futian and Xiao Sheng fighting?
Furthermore, to die in battle and not pursue it further?
Gongsun Zhong, Gongsun Ni, and the others of Divine Cloud Valley all looked at the white-haired figure. What a crazy guy.
Xiao Qianhe's eyes shone as he stared at Ye Futian.
As for Xiao Sheng, he looked up at him with a cold expression. He had been preparing to go out to train and fight Ye Futian in the future, but he had not expected Ye Futian to challenge him, who had entered the Saint Plane, when he was only a Sage.
"Ye Futian, don't you dare talk nonsense. His Majesty and the princess trust you, and this battle is not fair to you. If you die in battle, the princess will definitely blame you," Old Man Xiao said coldly. Ye Futian was a little arrogant.
Saints were Saints, after all.
However, as the sound of his voice faded, a powerful aura gushed forth from the air. The Blue Luan Sacred Beast swooped down, and many experts descended from the sky. A voice rang out from the Blue Luan Sacred Beast, "Grandfather, I agree to this matter."
Everyone looked at the Sacred Beast descending from the sky and Xia Qingyuan on it, and their hearts trembled.
Did Xia Qingyuan also think that Ye Futian was able to fight Saints?
Xiao Qianhe looked at Xia Qingyuan and was speechless.
"Xiao Sheng, if you lose, give me the answer I want. If you don't, then I will use my own method to find it," Ye Futian looked at Xiao Sheng and said.
Xiao Sheng looked at Ye Futian. He had broken into the Saint Plane, and Ye Futian wanted to fight him as a Sage.
He then looked at Xia Qingyuan. It was obvious that Xia Qingyuan also thought that Ye Futian, who was a Sage, was able to fight him, who was a Saint.
What a great trust.
He had already crossed the chasm and broken his own shackles, breaking into the Saint Plane, and yet that white-haired young man was still so arrogant.
Xiao Sheng said nothing. He stood up and stepped forward. His body flashed, and he shot into the clouds, descending into the sky.
In an instant, the aura of the Saint Plane shrouded the sky. Will of the great path filled the air, and it was extremely overbearing.
He looked down at Ye Futian below and said, "Come on up."
Ye Futian looked up at the sky. His body shone brilliantly, and he took to the air as well. The two of them descended high up in the sky.
At that moment, countless people rose and looked up at the sky.
Xiao Sheng of the Xiao Clan had broken into the Saint Plane.
Ye Futian had fought a Saint as a Sage.
Xiao Sheng glanced at Ye Futian in the air. Might of the great path descended in an instant, everywhere, pressing down on Ye Futian's body. In that instant, Ye Futian felt as if Xiao Sheng had become the great path himself, everywhere.
Xiao Sheng raised his hand and grabbed at Ye Futian. In an instant, the great path pressed down, and a palm of the great path descended from the sky, smashing down on Ye Futian.
Their surroundings rumbled, and the power of the great path seemed to be under Xiao Sheng's control. With just a single thought, all the power of the entire world was under his control. A suffocating pressure pressed down on Ye Futian's body. The palm of the great path that was smashing down compressed the space, sealing everything, making it impossible for him to escape.
The spectators below only saw a gigantic palm pressing down, direct and domineering.
Cultivators of the Saint Plane were able to shake the world with just a lift of their hands.
At that moment, dazzling golden light shone on Ye Futian's body. It was as if there were patterns of matrixes appearing. Might of all elements surrounded his body and flowed wildly. The power within his body seemed to be resonating with the great path.
In that instant, Ye Futian's body seemed to have turned into a furnace of the great path, able to refine the great path of heaven and earth, melting it into his flesh and blood.
His body turned into the great path, and divine light shot up. His aura climbed madly, and it was infinitely close to that of a saint.
It was the method of cultivation that the imperial advisor of Dali had imparted to him — the Deed of Thorough Comprehension!
