Old Man Yun looked at the high platform. Emperor Qi had personally announced that Yun Qianyue could cultivate under him, which meant a lot. It was even rarer than passing the Palace Examination and becoming his disciple.
Because of what happened today, Yun Qianyue's status would soar, and she would be close to the royal family.
This was what the Yun Clan had always wanted to do. They wanted to send their descendants to study under Emperor Qi.
Now, it had finally come true, but it wasn't them who had done it.
On the contrary, it was the people they had cruelly abandoned and sacrificed who got such an opportunity.
Now, Yun Qianyue must hate her family.
Looking at Yun Mo, who had been destroyed, they couldn't even protect themselves if Ye Futian wanted to settle the score with them, not to mention revenge.
Even the Zuoqiu Clan and the Zhong Clan had been crushed by that powerful lineup. Now that Emperor Qi had shown up, the power behind those people was absolutely terrifying. Even Emperor Qi, the lord of a territory in the Heavenly Mandate Realm, had to show some respect.
Yun Chong's face was ashen. He felt desperate. How could this happen?
At this time, two people walked over. They were Yun Teng and Yun Ni.
Yun Teng's eyes were still filled with anger as he looked at the people of the Yun Clan. He said coldly, "Qianyue's father sacrificed himself for the clan. For the clan, Qianyue was sent to the Zhong Clan as a servant girl. It suddenly occurred to me that we have been in contact with the Zhong Clan for a long time in order to build a relationship with them. Maybe the clan has been planning this for a long time.
Thinking of this, Yun Teng laughed at himself and said, "It's so ironic. Qianyue was abandoned by the family, but an outsider saved her. If it weren't for Ye Futian, you would be laughing now. You wouldn't feel guilty or sad, only happy that you achieved your goal. From now on, my Yun Teng family will cut ties with the Yun Clan of Luo City. I wish our family prosperity."
After that, Yun Teng and Yun Ni turned around and left without much reluctance.
Especially Yun Ni. She still hated them.
Her husband died for the family. Her daughter changed her surname but was sent to be sacrificed by the family. It was so sad.
Fortunately, Mr. Ye was here.
Looking up at the silver-haired figure on the high platform, Yun Ni's eyes were full of gratitude.
She also realized that the clan had probably been planning this since a long time ago. It was not because Mr. Ye was threatened by the Celestial Sword Li Clan when he entered the residence. It was just an excuse.
Even without Li Ruoshuang, they would have sent Qianyue away all the same in order to build connections with the Zhong Clan so that Yun Mo could have a glorious future.
At the same time, in another direction, the people of the Heaven Sword Li Clan were also panicking.
The Zuoqiu Clan had been ordered to be investigated by Emperor Qi. The alliance between them and the Zuoqiu Clan was naturally out of the question. Even the Zuoqiu Clan and the Zuoqiu Clan would want to draw a clear line between them to avoid being punished by Emperor Qi for colluding with each other.
Apart from that, Ye Futian had reminded them before that Li Ruoshuang of the Celestial Sword Li Clan had tried to kill him and had gone to the Yun Clan to ask for him, telling them to deal with it themselves.
Li Ruoshuang was the most outstanding person of the Celestial Sword Li Clan's generation. How should they deal with her?
However, if they ignored Ye Futian and only looked at the lineup, if Ye Futian wanted to settle the score, he could probably crush them as easily as crushing ants. Moreover, no one would care.
A single misstep would result in a calamity.
Li Ruoshuang walked back to the clan's side and saw that everyone in the clan was looking at her.
She was keenly aware that something was amiss. Those eyes were different from before.
She frowned and suddenly realized that it was all because of Ye Futian.
She used to be the pride of the clan. However, at present, the clan was probably worried that she would drag the clan down with her, and they were thinking about how to deal with her.
She felt her heart turn cold at the thought. Are we going to sacrifice the princess to save the princess?
Is she, Li Ruoshuang, going to be abandoned by the clan?
She stopped and looked at those faces, feeling unfamiliar all of a sudden.
"What happened at the Renhuang stonewall in the mountains was my doing, and I will take full responsibility. From now on, I, Li Ruoshuang, am no longer a member of the Celestial Sword Li Clan. Everything I do has nothing to do with the Celestial Sword Li Clan," Li Ruoshuang said. She made her decision in an instant.
If she were to return to the clan, it would be very dangerous. It was highly likely that she would be sacrificed to avoid dragging the clan down with her.
She decided to cut ties with the clan right away.
She turned around and walked away after saying that, intending to leave the place right away and go on her own.
"You think you can just leave like that?" A cold voice was heard. Ye Futian turned to look at Li Ruoshuang.
He had heard that Li Ruoshuang was decisive, decisive, and ruthless. She showed no mercy when she wanted to kill him back then, going to the Yun clan to get him back, wanting to frame the Yun clan and offend the Zuoqiu clan. She did not hold back when she did things.
Now, she cut ties with the clan without a second thought, intending to leave in one piece.
Li Ruoshuang stopped and turned to look at Ye Futian. She said, "It was indeed you who destroyed the Renhuang stonewall. It was only natural for me to take it out on you out of anger. I'm willing to cut my hair as an apology."
Li Ruoshuang reached behind her as she said that, grabbing her long hair. She formed a sword in her other hand and cut her hair right away. Her jet-black hair danced in the wind.
After Li Ruoshuang's hair was cut, her shoulder-length black hair spilled, giving off a feminine beauty. It made people feel sad and unwilling to make a move on her.
However, Ye Futian's expression remained the same, without a hint of emotion.
Those who had trained to the Saint Plane were extremely resilient, and everything they did was based on their own conscience. There was no way they would have thought that they were wrong. Cutting her hair was just a temporary measure, and her pitiful demeanor was all for the sake of survival.
Li Ruoshuang was indeed ruthless.
However, Ye Futian's expression remained the same, without a hint of emotion. She wanted to soften his heart just by doing that?
Li Ruoshuang did not act like that when she gave the order to kill.
"Does the Renhuang stonewall belong to you, Li Ruoshuang?" Ye Futian asked.
Li Ruoshuang was stunned and speechless.
"It's a master without a master to begin with. Why are you so calm about it? Is that normal?" Ye Futian said sarcastically, "I'll give you a chance. If you can take a sword attack from me, I'll let you go."
A sword attack.
Li Ruoshuang's expression was sharp. She was a mighty one of the Celestial Sword Li Clan, and she trained in the way of the sword. Ye Futian was going to fight her with a sword?
"Very well." Li Ruoshuang nodded and said. Sword aura howled and gathered behind her as soon as she finished. Her Life Spirit emerged, and the sword will of all heavens coalesced into a terrifying screen of swords, pulsing with terrifying flashes of the sword. It was not a defensive sword, but a killing sword.
As a swordsman herself, Li Ruoshuang knew very well that the strongest defense for those of the sword was offense.
Her sword burst in an instant before Ye Futian could do anything, heading straight for him. She was extremely decisive.
Ye Futian was only able to unleash a single sword attack.
Many who saw Li Ruoshuang's actions were secretly complimentary. Li Ruoshuang's character aside, she was extremely talented when it came to cultivation. She was a natural-born cultivator.
Ye Futian's expression remained the same when he saw Li Ruoshuang's actions. He took a step forward, and the Swords of Kasyapa coalesced in an instant, tearing through the air. The Swords of Kasyapa pierced through Li Ruoshuang's river of swordsmanship, moving forward with a unique rhythm. The swords formed a matrix, sweeping through like an autumn wind, descending in an instant.
The Swords of Kasyapa continued to grow larger in Li Ruoshuang's eyes. She looked horrified as she retreated.
However, the Swords of Kasyapa were incredibly fast. They arrived in an instant, piercing through the currents of swordsmanship around her and piercing through her body.
Li Ruoshuang's body shook incessantly in an instant. Blood stained her clothes, making her look extremely wretched.
Her aura dissipated and continued to weaken. Wrinkles appeared on her face, and she no longer looked young. She seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Her life force was completely destroyed by the sword wills.
Her face was ashen. She sensed the aura within her body and found herself unable to stand still.
The sword wills dissipated at that moment. Ye Futian looked at Li Ruoshuang's current state without much sympathy in his eyes.
Li Ruoshuang looked up at him with a venomous expression. She then lifted her feet and limped away, not saying a single word.
Even though she was severely injured and had her training crippled, she still held on to hope that she would one day be able to train again.
Ye Futian turned his eyes away and did not look at her again.
"What powers are you skilled in, sir?" Yun Qianyue asked Ye Futian, who was beside him. She had always asked Ye Futian about thunder techniques.
Ye Futian had defeated Zhong Qiu with the Halberd of Space, the great path of destruction.
And now, it was the sword.
Ye Futian did not correct her for calling him sir. It was probably a habit.
"I'm skilled in a little of both," Ye Futian smiled and said.
He then looked at Emperor Qi and bowed, saying, "I apologize for disturbing Your Majesty with what happened today. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"You people have indeed made me lose face, but you did provoke them," Emperor Qi said. "Since you people came from the Crimson Dragon Realm and the teleportation went wrong, I'm sure there are other friends who have yet to arrive. Why don't you train in the palace for a while? I'm sure news of what happened here will soon spread. Furthermore, I'll order people to spread the news faster. That way, your friends who have yet to arrive will find you here."
"It would be best if Your Majesty could help," Ye Futian said. They were in Emperor Qi's territory. If Emperor Qi was willing to help, those who had yet to arrive should be able to meet up with them soon.
"It's not for free. You can train in the palace for the next few days, and you can also spar with the cultivators in the palace. Let them feel the strength of the strongest geniuses of the Lower Worlds, lest they become arrogant and think they are unparalleled," Emperor Qi said with a smile.
Over the countless years of the Palace Examination, he had many disciples. Among them, there were some extremely talented people who were accepted as personal students by him. In addition, he had descendants.
It just so happened that Ye Futian and his group were the strongest geniuses in the Crimson Dragon Realm. They could spar with their peers to see who was stronger and who was weaker, which would be beneficial to their training.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded. He would not refuse such a small request.
"Let's go," Emperor Qi said. The group walked away one after another. The crowd in the vast land felt that it was not enough. Although the Palace Examination was disrupted today, everything after the Palace Examination would be even more exciting.
They knew that after today, the Zuoqiu Clan and the Zhong Clan, which had stood at the peak of Emperor Qi's territory for many years, would decline, especially the Zhong Clan!
