A few months later, the news of the battle of Dali Dynasty had spread throughout Emperor Xia's Realm.
However, nothing major had happened, except that Emperor Xia's Realm and Emperor Li's Realm had all retreated in some of the places where there had been friction. They had no choice but to retreat, as they were no longer able to resist Emperor Xia's Realm.
Emperor Li did not make any earth-shattering moves. After all, although Emperor Li's Realm had suffered great losses, its foundation was still there. The royal family and all his children were alive and well. If he wanted to do anything, he would have to break the rules and attack someone other than Emperor Xia, which would be exchanging lives.
Obviously, Emperor Li had not reached that point yet.
Ye Futian also healed and recovered, and Qi Xuangang also shut himself away for a period of time. After all, he had destroyed his own cultivation, and now his physical body was still damaged. Naturally, he needed to be baptized by the will of the great path to restore his former strength.
On this day, everyone came together to visit Emperor Xia.
Although the people who had made a name for themselves in the battle of Dali Dynasty were Ye Futian and the former Imperial Advisor of Dali Dynasty, they all knew very well that the real person to thank was still Emperor Xia. In addition, Ye Futian still owed the Peacock Emperor a favor.
"Your Majesty." Ye Futian and the others came to Emperor Xia's palace and bowed slightly to him.
Emperor Xia and Queen Xiao sat there, and Emperor Xia looked at Ye Futian and Qi Xuangang and said, "How is your recovery?"
"It's nothing serious now." Ye Futian smiled and said, "I have troubled Your Majesty again this time."
"The former Imperial Advisor's Residence still exists, and Qi Xuangang thanks Emperor Xia here."
Both times, Emperor Xia had personally gone to save the people of the Imperial Advisor's Residence.
"You should thank Ye Futian. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have done it." Emperor Xia smiled and said, "However, although you don't have to feel like you owe me anything, you can still consider being the Imperial Advisor of Emperor Xia's Realm. What do you think?"
He said that the Imperial Advisor did not have to think about owing him anything because he hoped that the Imperial Advisor would follow his heart, not to return a favor.
Qi Xuangang naturally understood what Emperor Xia was implying and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Crimson Dragon Realm is more suitable for me."
"Yes." Emperor Xia nodded. "That's true. If Emperor Li were to go crazy in the future, the first people he would look for would be you and Ye Futian. Furthermore, Qingyuan is also there. With you taking care of her, I have nothing to worry about."
His precious daughter would probably not stay in Emperor Xia's Realm.
He had seen Qi Xuangang's strength that day. He was able to resist a wisp of Emperor Li's will. He knew that Qi Xuangang had already touched the mysterious door. Coupled with his own combat ability, it was difficult to find a match for him in the Nirvana Plane. Now, in this plane, he was probably really at the peak.
Even in a place like the Crimson Dragon Realm, there were not many Holiness of Nirvana who could threaten Qi Xuangang.
This was much better than sending someone else to protect Xia Qingyuan in secret. After all, Emperor Xia's Realm did not have someone of this level.
"I will do my best," Qi Xuangang said.
"Ye Futian, the people of the Nine Major Tribes are no longer needed here. You can take them with you." Emperor Xia said to Ye Futian. These people were originally under Ye Futian's control in the Crimson Dragon Realm, and they were sent here to help Emperor Xia's Realm fight against the Dali Dynasty.
Now, Dali Dynasty was no longer a threat to Emperor Xia's Realm, so he asked Ye Futian to take them back.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded.
He knew that when he returned to Qianye City this time, Qianye City would replace Ancient Imperial City and become the number one city after Crimson Dragon City. There was no doubt about it.
Such an ending was also something he did not expect before he came.
"Ye Futian, there is someone else I want you to see," Emperor Xia looked at Ye Futian and continued. Ye Futian was rather curious.
Emperor Xia looked outside and said, "Lu You, bring him in."
Lu You quickly brought someone into the hall. That person wore a black robe, and his aura was weak. It was obvious that he had been severely injured. Moreover, his face was black as if he had been poisoned.
Ye Futian's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"He was the one who poisoned your friend all those years ago. He has been crippled of his training. What are you going to do with him?" Emperor Xia asked Ye Futian.
"Let him die on his own," Ye Futian said. In fact, he already knew who the mastermind behind all this was.
Now, it seemed that Emperor Xia also wanted to put an end to this matter.
"Father." A voice was heard. Xia Kun came into the hall and knelt on both knees, saying, "I have sinned."
Xia Qingyuan watched all this quietly from the side. In the end, there had to be an end.
"Ye Futian, what do you think?" Emperor Xia asked Ye Futian. His meaning was already very clear.
There was no need to say more about what had happened. They all knew what had happened.
"Since His Highness knows his mistake, and Ling 'er and the others are all fine, Your Majesty, please deal with him leniently," Ye Futian said. In fact, this went against his conscience. If it had been his attitude, he might have really crippled Xia Kun.
However, he had to consider everything that Emperor Xia had done for him, as well as Xia Qingyuan.
Now, he and the Imperial Advisor had come to thank Emperor Xia, and in the blink of an eye, he wanted to deal with a prince. It was too inhumane.
Of course, he could say this because everyone was safe and sound in the end, and the Imperial Advisor was also standing there in good condition.
Otherwise, his state of mind would not have been so peaceful.
"The mistakes he made were not just directed at you," Emperor Xia said. "Xia Kun, from now on, your status as a prince is revoked. Go out and explore. Instead of scheming behind the scenes, why don't you go out and prove yourself?"
Xia Kun's face was pale, but he still bowed and said, "Yes, father."
After saying this, he turned and left, not looking at Ye Futian and the others.
He knew that from now on, he no longer had the status of a prince of Emperor Xia's Realm. He was just a cultivator of the Saint Plane, and he no longer had access to cultivation resources. Everything was up to him to fight for.
Ye Futian turned around and watched Xia Kun leave. There was nothing wrong with Emperor Xia's decision. Xia Kun had wanted to use Xiao Sheng to kill him, and it was indeed not just against him.
"Xia Rong was indeed not involved in this matter, but what he did in Crimson Dragon Realm back then led to everything that happened later. How do you want to deal with it?" Emperor Xia looked at Ye Futian and Qi Xuangang.
The victim of this matter was Qi Xuangang.
"Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince had his own reasons for making the choice back then. There was no right or wrong. I am indebted to Your Majesty for being able to stand here today. I will not pursue all of this, and I will not pursue it either," Qi Xuangang bowed and said.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded. Since his master had said so, there was nothing else he could say.
"Your Majesty, Xia Rong only wanted to improve himself in the war. Do not punish him too heavily," Queen Xiao also pleaded on Xia Rong's behalf. After all, Xia Rong was the eldest son of someone Emperor Xia once loved.
After Emperor Xia became Renhuang, he was only given the title of Queen.
Later, Emperor Xia favored Xia Qingyuan, and the people of Emperor Xia's Realm also talked about the possibility of Xia Qingyuan inheriting the throne of Emperor Xia. This might have hurt Xia Rong somewhat.
"Alright, then I will deal with it myself." Emperor Xia nodded and did not publicly announce how he was going to deal with it. He sighed inwardly.
Xia Rong still did not see things clearly enough. His vision should have been wider.
So what if he had schemed against the Imperial Advisor of Dali and won the war against Dali Dynasty? With Emperor Li there, Dali was still Dali.
The one who truly decided everything was still the one who stood at the top.
It was difficult for Xia Rong to stand a chance, but in the future, Ye Futian was destined to be above Emperor Xia's Realm and Dali Dynasty.
As such, these things did not mean much in reality.
"Alright, these things have been dealt with. You can all leave with peace of mind." Emperor Xia suddenly smiled. Ye Futian naturally would not stay in Emperor Xia's Realm for long. He knew that many people in Emperor Xia's Realm were talking about whether or not Ye Futian would be the one to rule Emperor Xia's Realm in the future.
But he was very clear that he did not belong to Emperor Xia's Realm. If he really did rule Emperor Xia's Realm in the future, he would only bring Emperor Xia's Realm to greater heights.
But the root of all this was still Ye Futian being able to live.
If he died, then there would be nothing left.
And Ye Futian's background was not simple. He was bound to face turbulent waves in the future.
As such, he was indeed not someone who lived a pampered life. He was more suitable to struggle between life and death, to temper his state of mind, will, and decisiveness.
Ye Futian was actually very smart, and his will was very strong. But what often stopped him from acting boldly was that he cared too much.
For example, in the game in the Dali Palace, if he had been ruthless enough, he would not have lost to Emperor Li.
This was a weakness, but it was also a strength. It was precisely because of his temperament that so many people gathered around him.
Otherwise, how could the Imperial Advisor's Residence appear by his side at this moment?
The Imperial Advisor of Dali would still be the Imperial Advisor of Dali.
Ye Futian nodded. Indeed, now that things in Emperor Xia's Realm were over, there was nothing left to worry about.
There was already a very good foundation in the Crimson Dragon Realm. He was already cultivating in the Regional Palace, and Chi Shang also knew him. He had a great reputation, and it would not be long before he would have a chance to go out.
"When do you plan to leave?" Emperor Xia asked.
"In a few days. Your Majesty must be reluctant to part with the Princess. My friends and I also want to see the Holy Zhi Palace, and we will leave after we return," Ye Futian said.
"Yes." Emperor Xia's thoughts continued, "When the time comes, I will let the people of various forces bring their juniors to follow you to the Crimson Dragon Realm. You do not need to worry about them. The wider world will naturally have a better stage for them to see higher. Cultivation still depends on them."
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. In fact, he did not care about those people. They all went to train by themselves, and he did not even know whether or not they were in Qianye City.
Everything was just as Emperor Xia said. Cultivation was ultimately their own business, and he would help them if he could.
"Alright, you are dismissed." Emperor Xia waved his hand and said. Ye Futian and the others bowed and left with Qi Xuangang and the others.
Walking out of the hall, Ye Futian let out a breath and smiled.
"Master, brother, I did not think that we would be fated to meet after all," Ye Futian said with a smile. He had thought that their positions were different, and that the relationship between master and disciple would only last for a short period of time.
"Are you very proud of yourself?" Mr. Nan Zhai smiled and said.
"No, I am envious of master and brother. You are so lucky to have such an excellent disciple and brother like me." Ye Futian smiled and then walked away.
Qi Xuangang, Yan Yuan, and the others looked at his back and smiled. This guy was indeed "excellent"!
