In the Crimson Dragon Realm, the people of Qianye City had left for several months.
Before they left, Ye Futian used the Sword Matrix of the Void to attack Ancient Imperial City, threatening the Ninth Servant so that Ancient Imperial City would not dare to act recklessly.
The Ninth Servant did not act recklessly, and he did not care to deal with anyone else in Qianye City. His target was Ye Futian.
The Ninth Servant officially emerged from isolation after Ye Futian and the others had left.
He sent people to Qianye City and destroyed the other Sword Matrix of the Void there.
Furthermore, he had built a space matrix in the Ancient Imperial City. The space matrix was a two-way teleportation matrix, and the other matrix was in the city lord's office of Qianye City.
At the same time, the Ninth Servant and the people of Ancient Imperial City took control of Ye Futian's former subordinates, preventing them from leaving Qianye City to report the news.
When he was defeated in the battle, it was because he was the first to be attacked by the Sword Formation of the Void and was seriously injured, which greatly affected his combat ability. That was why his opponent found an opportunity to take advantage of him and defeated him.
Now, Ye Futian and the others dared to leave so recklessly. As long as the Sword Matrix of the Void was destroyed, Ye Futian and the others would appear directly in the City Lord Office of Qianye City as soon as they returned.
At that time, he would like to see who could stop him.
Unless Ye Futian never came back.
Otherwise, he would pay the most terrible price for Xing Kai's death.
Many in Qianye City were worried for Ye Futian, such as those from the Situ clan. Ye Futian knew that he had a formidable enemy like the Ninth Servant, yet he was still so careless and left. Without the deterrence of the Sword Matrix of the Void, the Ninth Servant would naturally take the opportunity to strike.
As long as Ye Futian returned, it would be a disaster.
Now, many cultivators of the Ancient Imperial City had taken control of Qianye City. No one dared to stop them, nor could they.
At this moment, the Situ Clan's Clan Head, Situ Zhong, asked the person who came, "What's the situation outside?"
"The Ancient Imperial City has almost taken control of Qianye City. We're being watched, too. There's no way we can get out. The Ninth Servant would have made a move against us otherwise," the person said.
Situ Zhong sighed rather dejectedly. What was Ye Futian thinking? Giving up on such a powerful weapon like the Sword Matrix of the Void would have been difficult to deal with the Ninth Servant.
Unless, before they came, they had set up a defensive Sword Matrix of the Void in other cities and temporarily did not return to Qianye City.
However, Ye Futian had no way of knowing what was going on here, right?
Once he returned, it would be very tragic.
"Where did Ancient Imperial City get so many people?" Situ Zhong asked.
The Ancient Imperial City was the number one city after Crimson Dragon City, but that was because of the Ninth Servant's reputation. In reality, there were not many people in the Ancient Imperial City, and the Ninth Servant was the symbol of the Ancient Imperial City.
"There's a shadow of Xiang City. Perhaps they still haven't let go of the death of that Nirvana expert and want to take revenge," that person replied.
"Xiang City again?" Situ Zhong frowned. Ever since Xiang Nan had been brutally defeated by Yu Sheng at the Battle of the Crimson River, Emperor Xiang's Realm had been looking for trouble. Every time they were thwarted, they seemed unwilling to give up.
"Maybe it's because of jealousy." Situ Yan walked in and said, "When Xiang Nan lost to Yu Sheng, he could not get over it, which affected his state of mind. Until now, he has not entered the Divine Path. Later, Xiang Ze came to the Peach Banquet with force, but he did not gain any advantage in front of Ye Futian. He was only a foil. This must have made Xiang Ze feel embarrassed.
"With Emperor Xiang's Realm as a retreat, and with the cooperation of Ancient Imperial City, they have cultivators at the level of the Ninth Servant, and their own forces. This is probably their confidence," Situ Zhong said coldly. Xiang City could retreat to Emperor Xiang's Realm at any time.
Xiang City was their base in the Crimson Dragon Realm, and they could afford to lose.
"What can we do now?" Situ Yan asked.
"There's nothing we can do in this situation. We can only hope that Lord Ye knows what he's doing. Since he led all the cultivators to retreat, he must have expected the Ninth Servant to deal with him when he returned. Let's see how he deals with it," Situ Zhong said.
Situ Yan nodded. There was indeed nothing they could do.
Not only them, but everyone in Qianye City knew what was going on in the city. It had been completely infiltrated by the Ancient Imperial City.
Many people were worried for Ye Futian and the others.
Ye Futian was still very popular in Qianye City. He was a peerless genius whose name shook the Crimson Dragon Realm. Together with Yu Sheng, they were known as a pair of peerless geniuses. They were ranked on the Regional King Ranking. Such legendary figures were people of Qianye City, and they felt honored.
The Ninth Servant closed his eyes and rested before a great hall in Ancient Imperial City.
At that moment, someone walked in. The Ninth Servant opened his eyes and looked at the person. It was Prince Xiang Ze of Emperor Xiang's Realm.
"What is it, Your Highness?" the Ninth Servant asked calmly.
"There are some things I would like to ask you about in cultivation," Xiang Ze said. They had asked to join forces with Ancient Imperial City, and the Ninth Servant had not refused. Some of the cultivators from Emperor Xiang's City had also settled in Ancient Imperial City.
Once Ye Futian appeared, they would use the teleportation grand matrix and kill him in one blow. They would not give Ye Futian any chance.
"Very well." The Ninth Servant nodded. Xiang Ze knew how to make use of opportunities. He had asked him many times over the past few days.
However, he did not refuse. Xing Kai had been killed, and Xing Chou was the only young master left. Helping Xing Chou make friends with powerful backgrounds would be beneficial for his future cultivation.
The Ninth Servant gave Xiang Ze some pointers on his cultivation. After that, Xiang Ze said, "Ye Futian and the others have been gone for a long time. They should be back soon."
"There is no hurry," the Ninth Servant said calmly.
Xiang Ze smiled and nodded. "With your strength, there is indeed no need to be in a hurry. If it were not for the interference of Renhuang, you could have gone to Emperor Xia's Realm to kill Ye Futian. There would have been no need to wait here."
The Ninth Servant did not say anything. He naturally could not leave Crimson Dragon Realm to kill Ye Futian. If he were to run into Emperor Xia, he would not even know how he died.
No matter how strong he was, he could not be stronger than a Renhuang. In Crimson Dragon Realm, he had a protective talisman with him.
Below Renhuang, he was almost invincible.
As they were talking, a brilliant beam of light shot up into the sky from afar. The Ninth Servant looked up and suddenly stood up straight. He stepped out into the air.
A figure flashed over, then bowed and said, "City Lord, Ye Futian has just returned to Qianye City."
A powerful aura bloomed from the Ninth Servant when he heard the voice. He said loudly, "Let's go."
As he said this, he stepped into the air. Many figures in the City Lord's Office of Ancient Imperial City stepped out at the same time. Gai Huang was there, as well as the cultivators that Xiang Ze had brought with him.
"Let's go," Xiang Ze said loudly. Shouted Xiang Ze. They were all extremely fast. They had to use the matrix to cross space before Ye Futian and the others.
In just a moment, the group led by the Ninth Servant landed on the matrix. The brilliant light of the Great Path of Space shone, as if opening a path through space.
In an instant, their figures disappeared.
…
Ye Futian and the others felt something strange as soon as they entered Qianye City.
"It seems that someone is sending a message," Wu Yong whispered to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded, but his expression did not change. They had left an empty city behind. The Ninth Servant would not have been unprepared. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity to kill them.
If his master had not recovered his cultivation, it would have been troublesome.
But now, there was no need to think about anything.
If the Ninth Servant was not willing to give up and wanted to kill him, then he would have to leave him here forever.
The group of people headed straight for the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, they felt that something was wrong.
"City Lord Ye, I am a member of the Situ family. Don't go back to the City Lord's Office." At that moment, a voice came from below. Ye Futian looked in that direction and saw a figure passing by, not looking at them.
Suddenly, Ye Futian's mind became clear, but he still did not stop.
Not long after, the City Lord's Office appeared in their field of vision.
Before they had even landed, towering auras were suddenly released from the direction of the City Lord's Office. Will swept through the air, enveloping them within.
A group of figures appeared there. It was the Ninth Servant, Gai Huang, and the others. Their auras were towering, especially the Ninth Servant. His might burst forth like the might of the Great Path, enveloping the boundless space. Everyone in the surrounding area felt a suffocating pressure.
Ye Futian looked in that direction. Aside from the Ninth Servant and the other cultivators of Ancient Imperial City, he also saw Xiang Ze of Emperor Xiang's Realm.
Moreover, there was cold murderous intent in Xiang Ze's eyes. He looked at Ye Futian with a mocking look.
They had come back just like that. Had they brought back the people of the Nine Major Tribes?
But even if there were a few more Holiness of Nirvana, would they be able to stop the Ninth Servant?
They had a death wish.
The Ninth Servant stepped through the air. With just one step, he was about to arrive before Ye Futian and the others. He raised his palm and struck out at the air.
The Great Path of Heaven and Earth seemed to be about to collapse and be destroyed. The space where Ye Futian and the others were was about to shatter.
Heaven and earth shook. The Ninth Servant's palm print turned into thousands of layers, and it looked like it was about to hit them.
But at that moment, a figure stepped forward and walked out from Ye Futian's side.
He extended his palm, and a halo of ancient characters surrounded them. A divine matrix of the Great Path was erected in the air, blocking Ye Futian and the others.
The Ninth Servant's palm slammed into it, and the air trembled. It was as if the world was about to collapse, but the brilliant divine matrix was still dazzling.
Qi Xuangang's palm slammed out again, and the divine matrix moved forward, destroying all the palm prints and heading towards the Ninth Servant.
The Ninth Servant's expression changed. He slammed out with both his palms at the same time, shattering the attack. His body was sent flying far away. He stared at the figure who had stepped forward. His eyes shone brightly, and his heart beat wildly.
Who was this person?
The faces of Gai Huang and the others from Ancient Imperial City, as well as Xiang Ze and the others, suddenly changed. How could this be?
Such a terrifying existence had suddenly appeared at Ye Futian's side.
Someone at the level of the Ninth Servant was not someone who could be easily summoned. It was the same in the Renhuang Realm. Emperor Xiang's Realm could not summon such a person, and neither could Emperor Xia's Realm.
"It's the Imperial Advisor of Dali," a figure behind Xiang Ze said. It was his younger brother, Xiang Nan. He had been there during the great battle in Qianye City all those years ago. Was the Imperial Advisor of Dali now on Ye Futian's side?
Furthermore, he had become even more powerful!
