On this day, a group of cultivators arrived at the City Lord's Office of Qianye City.
Shen Tianzhan personally came to greet them. These people who had arrived had a powerful aura, and they wore crimson flame robes. These were the robes of the Regional Palace.
The leader was a top figure of the Nirvana Plane.
"What can I do for you?" Shen Tianzhan asked.
"We have come to see Lord Ye," the leader responded.
"Lord Ye is cultivating in seclusion. I believe you all know about the last battle. Lord Ye needs some time," said Shen Tianzhan. "If it is convenient, I can pass on the message."
"Yes." The man nodded slightly. "The Regional Palace invites Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan to cultivate in the Regional Palace. They can cross the Crimson River at any time."
Many people in the City Lord's Office of Qianye City looked up at the newcomer, and their hearts trembled. Although they had guessed that this might happen, they were still shocked when it actually happened.
The Regional Palace had once again made an exception.
In the Crimson Dragon Realm, some people who had missed the selection for the Battle of the Crimson River did not have a chance to cultivate in the Regional Palace. If they performed well enough, they still had a chance.
Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan had obviously been recognized by the Regional Palace. Their performance at the Peach Banquet was outstanding enough.
Ye Futian did not need to say much. Xia Qingyuan had defeated Shu Zi, which also proved her talent.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the Regional Palace had also invited her.
"Very well, I will certainly pass on the message to Lord Ye." Shen Tianzhan nodded. If ordinary people had received such news, they would have been ecstatic, but those who were truly qualified to enter the Regional Palace would not have been so excited, because they themselves were top figures, proud and confident.
And for someone like Ye Futian, who was qualified to enter the Regional King Ranking and had made the Regional Palace make an exception, it was normal for him to be qualified to cultivate in the Regional Palace.
Shen Tianzhan was not surprised or surprised. What Ye Futian had done before was much more difficult than entering the Regional Palace.
But what made him happy was that the Regional Palace's invitation was at least a protective talisman. As long as Ye Futian agreed and entered the Regional Palace to cultivate.
The Ninth Servant would not be able to deal with Ye Futian.
Although the Ninth Servant had not shown any weakness when facing the Regional Palace last time, that was because of his own confidence. when it came to real strength, the Ancient Imperial City could not compare to the Regional Palace.
Moreover, the Regional Palace was backed by the Crimson Dragon Emperor.
"Very well." The person from the Regional Palace nodded and then left, as if he had just come to inform them.
As for Ye Futian's choice, it was up to him.
Many people in the City Lord's Residence were slightly shaken. Shen Tianzhan turned around, ready to inform Xia Qingyuan of the news, and then let Ye Futian and Xia Qingyuan decide.
Soon, news came from the City Lord's Office of Qianye City that Ye Futian had accepted the invitation of the Regional Palace and would cultivate in the Regional Palace.
When the news spread, the tense atmosphere seemed to loosen up.
Did this mean that the war could not start?
Ye Futian wanted to avoid the Ninth Servant for now. He wanted to train hard and improve his own abilities.
However, when everyone thought that Ye Futian and Xing Kai would be training in the Regional Palace at the same time, many people had strange expressions on their faces.
What would happen if they met in the Regional Palace?
Would a fight break out?
Xing Kai was training quietly in a palace in the Ancient Imperial City.
A dazzling radiance shone, and the Heaven Punishing Battle Will flowed around his body. He was filled with an overbearing and arrogant aura.
However, Xing Kai's expression remained tense as he trained. It was as if he had something weighing on his mind.
The battle in Crimson Dragon City had hit him hard.
He, Xing Kai, had needed the Ninth Servant's help in order to survive.
This was a great humiliation for him.
At that moment, footsteps were heard. Xing Kai opened his eyes and looked at the Ninth Servant. His eyes were no longer as pure and resolute as they used to be. They were filled with distracting thoughts.
The Ninth Servant looked into his eyes and was able to sense Xing Kai's state from his eyes. Because of Ye Futian, Xing Kai seemed to have a mental block.
"No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter on the path of cultivation, you will have to overcome them yourself. The opponent you will encounter this time may be more outstanding than anyone you have met before. If you can't get over it, you will forever be under his shadow," the Ninth Servant said.
"I believe you can do it."
Xing Kai remained silent.
"News came not long ago that he has been recognized by the Regional Palace and will be training in the Regional Palace. You may meet him again in the future," the Ninth Servant continued. Xing Kai's eyes turned cold.
Ye Futian was going to the Regional Palace as well?
Xing Kai got up and walked out of the palace. He came before the stairs and looked into the distance.
"Are you disappointed in me, sir?" Xing Kai looked into the distance and asked.
The Ninth Servant looked at his back and remained silent.
"I want to hear the truth," Xing Kai said.
"I'm disappointed because my expectations are too high. Young master, you know how much hope I have placed in you. But from the perspective of cultivation, such a day will come eventually. As such, I hope that you will first overcome yourself, young master," the Ninth Servant bowed slightly and said. It was as if his attitude had changed.
"Overcome myself because it is difficult to defeat them." Xing Kai sighed. It was not something he could let go of just like that.
He had needed the Ninth Servant's help in that battle to survive.
How would he be able to face others?
How would he be able to call himself the descendant of Emperor Zhan?
He was very disappointed in himself.
"If you want, young master, I will go to Qianye City right now and cut off their heads. I will bring them to the Ancient Imperial City. That way, you will not have to worry about opponents," the Ninth Servant said, looking at Xing Kai's back.
Xing Kai did not doubt the Ninth Servant's words. If he really wanted to do something, he only needed to tell the Ninth Servant, and the Ninth Servant would definitely do it for him.
But then again, was he really going to let the Ninth Servant kill someone who had defeated him?
"City Lord."
At that moment, a voice was heard from the bottom of the stairs far away. Someone was bowing and greeting him.
"What is it?" The Ninth Servant turned around and looked at the person who had spoken. His eyes seemed to be able to pierce through space and were extremely sharp.
Someone had actually disturbed him at that moment. He had no idea what was going on.
That person extended his hands, holding something that looked like a letter. It looked like a letter.
The Ninth Servant made a grabbing motion in the air, and the letter flew right into his hand, where he took it.
The Ninth Servant opened the letter. There was a line of words carved on it. He looked at the line of words and did not put his hand down. While his expression was as calm as ever, there was a ripple in his heart.
The Ninth Servant raised his head. His eyes seemed to be able to pierce through space, looking in the direction of Qianye City.
Ye Futian, the City Lord of Qianye City.
He was really daring.
"What is it?" Xing Kai, who was beside him, asked after seeing the Ninth Servant's reaction.
The Ninth Servant looked at Xing Kai, but he did not hand it over.
Xing Kai seemed to have sensed that something was off. He extended his hand to the Ninth Servant.
Only then did the Ninth Servant hand the letter over to Xing Kai.
Xing Kai took the letter and glanced at it. His eyes became extremely sharp in an instant. A powerful fighting will seemed to flow uncontrollably, blooming fiercely.
Ye Futian!
He was simply too arrogant.
The letter that had been sent to the Ancient Imperial City was a letter of challenge.
A battle to the death above the Crimson River, outside the Regional Palace.
The Regional Palace would be the witness.
The two of them would not meet in the Regional Palace. That was because before Ye Futian stepped into the Regional Palace, there would be a battle to the death above the Crimson River.
Only one of the two of them would be able to enter the Regional Palace alive.
Ye Futian did not want to coexist with him and train in the Regional Palace.
One could only imagine how Xing Kai felt when he received the letter of challenge.
He had lost to Ye Futian and Yu Sheng in Crimson Dragon City not long ago.
Now, Ye Futian was the only one who had sent him a letter of challenge.
Furthermore, it was a letter of challenge to the death, and the Regional Palace would be the witness. Only one of them would be able to live.
How arrogant and presumptuous was that?
Ye Futian dared to challenge him to a duel to the death alone.
The Ninth Servant was just as surprised. He had thought that Ye Futian was training in the Regional Palace to avoid a head-on clash with the Ancient Imperial City.
He had not expected that after agreeing to train in the Regional Palace, a letter of challenge would be sent to him.
Furthermore, Xing Kai's mind was already damaged, and his state of mind was shaken.
Now that the letter of challenge had arrived, how could Xing Kai not accept it?
If he did not accept the challenge, then the name of Xing Kai would no longer be something to be proud of. It would be something to be ashamed of.
Xing Kai would probably never be able to overcome his state of mind.
But then again, what made Ye Futian so arrogant and confident that he could win?
Could it be that he had broken through to the True Self Plane?
"Are you going to accept the challenge?" asked the Ninth Servant.
Xing Kai looked at him. The Ninth Servant already knew the answer when he saw the look in his eyes.
Xing Kai had no choice but to accept the challenge.
"I'll be right back," said the Ninth Servant.
He took a step forward as soon as he said that, and his body disappeared into the air.
Towering pressure descended from the City Lord's Office of Qianye City before long.
One figure after another appeared in the air. All the Holiness of Nirvanas landed in the air and looked up into the sky.
The pressure coming from the sky was terrifying.
Boom! The will of the great path pressed down, and a huge face appeared in the air. It was the will of the Ninth Servant. The terrifying will pressed down in a frenzy, invading the City Lord's Office.
A silver-haired figure took to the air in the City Lord's Office. He looked up at the face in the air and said, "Are you worried about my plane?"
The Ninth Servant had carved the mark of the god of war on the Xing brothers and guarded them. After receiving the letter of challenge, he would not have dared to put Xing Kai in danger. He was worried that Xing Kai would break through to the True Self Plane. If that happened, Xing Kai would die.
The Ninth Servant knew very well from the battle in Crimson Dragon City that if they were to fight to the death, Xing Kai would definitely die.
As such, he was worried and came to see for himself.
A violent will continued to press down. That huge face stared at Ye Futian, who was below the crowd.
He was still a Proving Holiness Saint. So, where did he get the confidence to challenge Xing Kai all by himself?
Yu Sheng and the Halberd of Time and Space had helped him in the battle in Crimson Dragon Realm.
If it were a battle to the death between the two of them, things would have been different.
He needed to truly defeat Xing Kai. Otherwise, he would have been the one to die!
