A few days later, all the top forces in Emperor Xia's Realm were mobilized. They set off for the battlefield, ready to meet up with the Eight Legions.
Ye Futian also sent out four Holiness of Nirvanas by his side, and he also had Yaya accompany them. However, Yaya was with the people from the Sword Clan of Lihen.
The Swordmaster of Lihen and Yaya had once been contenders for the title of the number one swordsman in Emperor Xia's Realm. Now that the two swordsmen had joined forces, no one could stand in their way.
They could have asked Emperor Xia to bring them directly to Emperor Li's City, but they did not do so this time. Instead, they launched a war across Emperor Li's Realm and went straight to Emperor Li's Palace. That was the only way to put the greatest pressure on Emperor Li.
In name, this wasn't a rescue mission, but a battle between realms.
The groups that left each had a few demonic beasts following them, and they were all under Ye Futian's control.
In this way, with Ye Futian as the center, all the camps could communicate with each other at any time and know what was happening in the other camp.
Wu Yong was the only Nirvana Plane cultivator by Ye Futian's side.
The leaders of the South Li, North Li, and Vermillion Bird Clans, as well as Shen Tianzhan, had all set off.
Ye Futian was still in the royal palace of Emperor Xia's Realm. He did not go with the others, not because he did not want to participate in the battle, but because he had his own mission.
Emperor Xia arranged for them to stay in a palace in the royal palace.
Apart from the imperial family, no one else had ever enjoyed such treatment.
Even the High Priest and the others only had their own training grounds and residences. They did not have their own palace.
But no one found it strange. Emperor Xia had already treated Ye Futian as one of his own.
Ye Futian's current status in Emperor Xia's Palace was something that many people had a tacit understanding of.
At this moment, there were pavilions and waterfalls in this palace. It was like a paradise.
Two figures were playing chess. It was Ye Futian and the fifth prince, Xia Lun. Xia Qingyuan was there as well.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. Qingyuan, come with me." At this time, Xia Lun, who had already played a few rounds, stood up and said to Xia Qingyuan, who was next to him. He got up and patted himself down, then turned around and walked away. He did not even look back.
"He lost three games in a row," Xia Qingyuan said in a low voice. "He really is a chess master."
The corner of Xia Lun's mouth twitched, but he didn't look back. He walked away with his head held high.
Ye Futian was depressed. It was fine if Ye Futian was talented in cultivation, but he, as a prince, had already lost face. Now, many people outside the palace were talking about Ye Futian as if he was the prince's own son.
Xia Lun's chess skills were not bad. Today, he wanted to take Ye Futian down a notch and save some face.
The result was tragic.
The other party's mental calculation and deduction abilities were simply terrifying.
"Are you coming, Princess?" Ye Futian asked.
"No." Xia Qingyuan shook her head.
"Let me accompany you." A figure walked over. It was Yan Yuan.
"Alright, Senior Brother, please." Ye Futian arranged the chess pieces. Nan Zhai and Feixue were both there.
As the two of them played, Ye Futian realized that Yan Yuan's chess skills were also superb. The two of them were locked in a stalemate.
He had learned chess from the Chess Saint Villa in the past, but that did not mean that he was invincible in the world. The Chess Saint was just an ordinary saint, and Yan Yuan was now a Holiness of Nirvana. How strong was his deduction ability?
Moreover, Yan Yuan's chess skills were closing in on him, besieging him from all sides. It seemed to be somewhat similar to his state of mind.
He must have been worried about the Imperial Advisor.
This time, they wanted to make a move, but they could not. Otherwise, they might anger Emperor Li, and the Imperial Advisor was still in Emperor Li's hands.
"Don't worry too much, Senior Brother. Emperor Li is not stupid. Before the situation is clear, he will not make a move on the Imperial Advisor. Otherwise, they will be at an absolute disadvantage in this realm war, and they will also be afraid of angering us," Ye Futian said.
This invasion was nominally a war between two realms.
"Yes." Yan Yuan nodded. As a Holiness of Nirvana, his state of mind had long been transformed, and he was very strong.
But when it came to the Imperial Advisor, it was inevitable that his mind would be disturbed. Even if he could divine it, he could not help but worry.
And it was not just Yan Yuan. Nan Zhai, Feixue, and the others all seemed very quiet. Obviously, there was a stone hanging in their hearts.
However, they all supported Ye Futian's actions. Who knew what would happen if they allowed their teacher to be locked up in the prison?
The Imperial Advisor was not the Imperial Advisor of the past. After his cultivation was destroyed, his life might be extremely fragile.
It was a pity that although they also cultivated the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, their understanding of the Deed of Thorough Comprehension was not as deep as the Imperial Advisor's, and they could not see the fate of the Great Path.
"You seem to be in a good mood." A voice was heard, and an extraordinary figure walked over. It was the Fourth Prince, Xia Kun.
"Your Highness." Ye Futian got up and nodded to show his respect.
"You are welcome. Continue, I was just passing by," Xia Kun said with a smile.
"Very well." Ye Futian sat down again and continued playing chess.
Xia Kun watched quietly from the side and said, "Excellent. I did not expect Mr. Yan and Ye Futian to be so good at chess. I guess the Fifth Prince was at a disadvantage here."
"The Fifth Prince is also very good at chess," Ye Futian said.
"He thinks so himself." Xia Kun smiled and said, "Qingyuan, when did you start to like chess?"
"I was just looking around," Xia Qingyuan said.
"I have never seen you look around before." Xia Kun smiled.
"…" Xia Qingyuan looked at him speechlessly.
"Alright, I will not disturb you. Brother Ye, if you have the chance, come to my place," Xia Kun continued.
Ye Futian smiled and nodded. At that moment, he heard a voice transmission from Feixue.
The chess piece in his hand hung in the air. Ye Futian looked up and suddenly asked with a smile, "How is the Xiao clan after Xiao Sheng's death?"
Xia Kun stopped and seemed to stiffen. He turned back to look at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was looking up at Xia Qingyuan. He was obviously talking to her.
"What is it, Your Highness?" Ye Futian looked back at Xia Kun and asked.
"Nothing." Xia Kun shook his head and turned to leave.
Xia Qingyuan had a strange look in her eyes as she looked at Ye Futian. The jump in his question was a little too much.
Xia Kun was not the only one who did not react.
"I have not been out of the palace since I came back, so I am not sure. After what happened back then, Grandfather will probably restrict the people of the Xiao clan," Xia Qingyuan replied.
"Let bygones be bygones. Xiao Sheng has paid the price. Don't let this affect the relationship between the princess and Old Man Xiao," Ye Futian said. He looked at Feixue, who was beside him. At that moment, Feixue's expression changed slightly. She looked at Ye Futian.
"Murderous intent," Feixue transmitted to him.
The chess piece in Ye Futian's hand froze again, and then fell heavily.
So that was it.
Only the people of the Imperial Advisor's Residence knew about Feixue's ability.
He did not tell anyone from Emperor Xia's Realm. He did not even tell Xia Qingyuan.
If people knew about this ability, they would be on guard against her at all times.
In the days that he had been in the palace, he had seen all five princes of Emperor Xia's Realm.
He had received Feixue's transmission just now, so he deliberately asked Xia Qingyuan about the Xiao clan and mentioned Xiao Sheng's name.
He wanted to see Xia Kun's reaction. He hid it very well, but there was still something strange. But that did not mean anything. After all, it was normal to look back. But at that moment, the emotions in his heart could not be faked, and he could not hide them.
When mentioning Xiao Sheng, murderous intent flashed in his heart. What did that mean?
Back then, there was no conclusion to the matter, and all the evidence had been destroyed.
At that time, Ye Futian had guessed that the most suspicious person could only be someone from the palace. Only someone from the palace knew some of his movements and guessed that he had gone to Emperor Li's Realm.
But a guess was a guess. With his identity, he could not directly investigate someone from the palace.
In the absence of evidence, it was obviously impossible.
After Xia Kun left, Xia Qingyuan frowned and looked at Ye Futian. She asked, "What is going on?"
She was not stupid. She naturally felt that something was wrong.
Ye Futian might have been testing her.
But why did he suddenly test her fourth brother?
Moreover, he only tested her fourth brother.
Ye Futian looked up at Xia Qingyuan, and his feelings were rather complicated.
This was not the result that he wanted.
It involved a prince, the son of Emperor Xia, and Xia Qingyuan's brother. What should he do?
But he still had doubts. He and Xia Kun did not know each other.
And if it was about inheriting the throne, he would be worried that he would help Xia Qingyuan. It would not be Xia Kun.
"Princess, which prince does the fourth prince have the best relationship with?" Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan and asked.
Xia Qingyuan's expression changed when she heard Ye Futian's question. Obviously, she thought of something very bad.
It even made it difficult for her to speak.
"Princess," Ye Futian called.
Xia Qingyuan turned her eyes and looked elsewhere. Obviously, she had already guessed some things.
"Is it the fourth brother?" Xia Qingyuan's eyes returned to Ye Futian and she asked directly.
Ye Futian looked back at her and said, "It can't be wrong. Even if it isn't him, he knows and is directly involved."
Why did he only want to kill Xiao Sheng when he mentioned him?
With his current status and power, even if he had wanted to kill Ye Futian before, he should have restrained himself now and would not easily have such thoughts.
But the matter with Xiao Sheng was a hidden danger, and it would involve things of the past.
So it was obvious that Xia Kun knew.
Since he wanted to kill Ye Futian, it was most likely him.
"How did you figure it out?" Xia Qingyuan asked.
"It's not convenient to say. It concerns someone else, and I don't want him to be involved. Princess, do you believe me?" Ye Futian said. He did not reveal Feixue's ability. He did not want Feixue to be involved in this feud.
Xia Qingyuan did not say anything, but in fact, she already had an answer in her heart.
She naturally believed Ye Futian. From some of the speculations from the investigation, she also knew that he must be someone from the royal palace, and not an ordinary person at that.
Coupled with the fourth brother's strange behavior and Ye Futian's question, she already understood.
This made her feel very complicated, and even a little uncomfortable.
This was the last thing she wanted to see!
