Ye Futian didn't know how many forces had come from the Nine Realms, but he knew that many foreign top forces were active in this Heavenly Mandate City.
However, other than the forces that had gone to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Song Imperial City was the first force to send him an invitation.
Ye Futian sat there quietly and didn't speak, waiting for the other to continue.
The elder from Song Imperial City continued, "I came from the Divine Prefecture, so I know a little about what happened in the Void Realm. I heard that the Heavenly Mandate Academy is facing some difficulties?"
"It's alright," Ye Futian said. "Thank you for your concern."
"Hell is a force that belongs to the Dark Court. Even the master of the Throne of the Underworld personally came. Although he was stopped by Mei Ting back then, Mei Ting just happened to be passing by. Next time, I'm afraid the Heavenly Mandate Academy will still be in trouble. Even if they join forces with the local forces, it will still be difficult. Furthermore, as far as I know, the Heavenly Mandate Academy has many enemies in the Void Realm.
The Shen clan is also a powerful force in the Upper Worlds. "
"Senior, you know a lot about this," Ye Futian said with a smile. The elder had clearly found out everything.
"Since I'm here, I naturally need to know more. Not only that, but I also know a little about the top forces in the Void Realm. For example, do you know the background of Tianshen Academy?" the elder asked.
"Tianshen Academy has a background too?" Ye Futian asked.
"Tianshen Academy can become the top academy in the Void Realm because of the Great Emperor. The Jian family of Tianshen Academy used to be a famous ancient clan in the Divine Prefecture. They had deep roots and were extremely powerful. However, because they committed crimes in the Divine Prefecture, the Great Emperor punished them to the Void Realm so that they could atone for their crimes. That is how they became the top academy in the Void Realm."
The elder continued, "The Jian family is very powerful, but I'm afraid that even people in the Void Realm don't know."
Ye Futian was silent. Jian Qingzhu should be a member of the Jian family. He didn't expect there to be such a story.
"Solar Divine Palace, Youyue Divine Palace, Celestial Worthy Temple, and many other forces are actually branches of the Outer Worlds. It's just that the Great Emperor sealed off the Void Realm hundreds of years ago, causing their relationship to fade. Now that the passage has been reopened, many things will be different. Have you ever thought about making the Heavenly Mandate Academy the top academy in the Void Realm?"
Ye Futian looked up when he heard the elder's words. He knew that the elder was getting to the point.
Was Song Imperial City plotting against the Heavenly Mandate Academy?
"The Heavenly Mandate Academy is a place of teaching. However, being powerful is also the cornerstone of teaching," Ye Futian said.
"Yes." The elder nodded and said, "Now, the Heavenly Mandate Academy is no longer weak, and it has allied with many forces. However, it is not the Heavenly Mandate Academy itself. Have you ever considered bringing other forces into the Heavenly Mandate Academy? If we can have the support of a top force in the Divine Prefecture, not only will we be able to resist Hell, but we will also be able to stand firmly in the Void Realm and become the number one holy land for cultivation in the Void Realm."
How could Ye Futian not understand when he had already said it so plainly?
Song Imperial Palace wanted to take over the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
These top forces of the Divine Prefecture also wanted to control their power in the Void Realm.
"What do you want?" Ye Futian asked directly without beating around the bush.
The elder looked at him with a smile and said, "My Song Imperial Palace can help the Heavenly Mandate Academy grow, but we need to be like the Jian clan and Tianshen Academy, a family force that stands behind the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Of course, on the surface, the College Chief of the academy will still be Lord Taixuan. In the future, it can also be handed over to you."
Song Imperial Palace wanted to stand behind the Heavenly Mandate Academy and become the controlling force behind the scenes to control the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Such great ambition. It seemed that Song Imperial Palace was even stronger than he had imagined. Otherwise, they would not have such a big appetite.
Ye Futian had chatted with the Palace Lord of the Divine Palace before, and he had mentioned that there would be outside forces that wanted to take over the top forces of the Nine Realms. Now, he had encountered one.
However, Ye Futian could not agree. He shared the same ideals as Lord Taixuan. This was the only way to control the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. They had never thought of the Heavenly Mandate Academy as a force under their control. Once Song Imperial Palace took over, then everything would change. Would the Heavenly Mandate Academy still be the Heavenly Mandate Academy? The purpose of its existence would no longer be there.
"I thank you for your kindness, but I am just a member of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. I have no right to decide who the Heavenly Mandate Academy belongs to. Of course, the Heavenly Mandate Academy will not be controlled by anyone or any other force. As the college chief, Lord Taixuan is only doing this for the sake of imparting his ideals," said Ye Futian.
"Ye Futian, you will leave the Void Realm sooner or later. This world does not belong to you. Song Imperial Palace will be a very good place for you to go. It will allow you to directly come into contact with the core forces of the Divine Prefecture." The elder did not give up. He continued to speak, promising Ye Futian a future.
"It seems that you still do not understand what I just said. What I said before is all true. There is no falsehood. What you have said to me is actually meaningless," said Ye Futian.
When the elder heard Ye Futian's words, he fell silent. He looked at him quietly. Ye Futian met the elder's gaze and did not avoid it.
He obviously did not believe what Ye Futian had said. Based on the information he had gathered, Ye Futian was someone who could decide the fate of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. His influence on the Heavenly Mandate Academy might even be above that of Lord Taixuan, who was the college chief. Hence, the person he sought out was Ye Futian.
"Are you not going to reconsider?" asked the elder.
Ye Futian stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "I will take my leave now."
Although he was already somewhat unhappy, he did not want to make enemies. Hence, even if he could not communicate with the elder and was about to leave, he still maintained his manners.
At that moment, the notes became intense and seeped into Ye Futian's eardrums. Ye Futian turned his gaze and saw that the woman had stopped playing. Her gaze fell on Ye Futian. Her eyes were extremely beautiful, but there was a hint of arrogance in them. It made people feel a sense of distance.
Ye Futian glanced at her, then turned and left. The people of the Heavenly Mandate Academy also left with him.
After they left, the elder remained sitting there.
"You don't know what's good for you." Behind the elder was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. His aura was extremely domineering. Before Ye Futian left, his might enveloped the people of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. As long as the elder said the word, he would immediately attack.
"After all, we are outsiders. They are the masters of this world. Naturally, they will not hand over control so easily," replied the elder. The elder replied, "Moreover, this Ye Futian is talented and famous. He must be extremely proud. Judging from his attitude, I'm afraid it will be impossible for the Heavenly Mandate Academy to take the initiative to let us join them."
This time, they had come with a mission. They had to control a force in the Void Realm.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy was naturally their first choice. This force had great influence and great potential. If they could rope Ye Futian into the Song Imperial Palace, it would undoubtedly be perfect.
Unfortunately, they had failed.
However, there was still time, and they were not in a hurry. This time, the passageway had opened, and the situation in the Void Realm would continue to change for a short period of time. Other forces would probably also make their move.
After Ye Futian returned to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, he informed Lord Taixuan and the others. Lord Taixuan and the others realized that there were already forces from the outside that wanted to occupy the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Before this, other forces had tried to rope them in, but they had also failed.
The Song Imperial Palace would not be the last force.
As expected, the next day, in the sky outside the Heavenly Mandate Academy, a group of mighty cultivators descended. Their terrifying aura radiated directly to the entire Heavenly Mandate Academy. Everyone could clearly feel it.
Lord Taixuan, Ye Futian, and the others stepped forward and came to the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Their gazes were fixed on the distant void.
"You have come to the Heavenly Mandate Academy. What can I do for you?" Lord Taixuan said from afar.
"We come from the Divine Prefecture's holy land for cultivation, the Holy Land of Taichu. It is said that the Heavenly Mandate Academy preaches in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. The Holy Land of Taichu wishes to build a preaching temple in the Void Realm. Why don't we join forces with the Heavenly Mandate Academy and establish the Heavenly Mandate Academy as a branch of the Holy Land of Taichu? When the time comes, the Holy Land of Taichu will connect with the Heavenly Mandate Academy and send cultivators from the Divine Prefecture to preach at the Academy."
A voice came and resounded throughout the Heavenly Mandate Academy. It was more direct and overbearing than the one from the Song Imperial Palace. It was directly asking the Heavenly Mandate Academy to become a branch of the Holy Land of Taichu.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were a little stunned. The Holy Land of Taichu had such an arrogant attitude. They came from the outside world, but they wanted the Heavenly Mandate Academy to submit directly.
"The Heavenly Mandate Academy is the Heavenly Mandate Academy. We do not need other forces to preach here." Lord Taixuan's aura suddenly turned cold when he heard the other party's words. They were simply too presumptuous. They did not take them seriously at all.
"Since it is a preaching force, the name doesn't matter. As long as it can preach and provide better conditions for cultivators, it will be fine. The Taichu Saint Emperor's cultivation is unparalleled now. He has many powerful cultivators under him and has cultivated countless influential figures. If the Heavenly Mandate Academy becomes a branch of the Holy Land of Taichu, there will only be benefits and no losses." The other party continued, "I believe the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Academy will not mind."
"Everyone, please help yourselves. I will not see you out." Lord Taixuan directly asked the guests to leave. Such an attitude could not be communicated with.
"In that case, we'll come back in seven days. At that time, we'll see how much the Heavenly Mandate Academy has to teach here. If it doesn't work, we'll let the Holy Land of Taichu teach here," the man said and left.
Hearing this, everyone understood that the other party had only come to inform them. They did not intend to use the method of recruiting like the Song Imperial Palace. Instead, they wanted to directly take down the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Moreover, this "take down" was a little different. They were preaching in the name of completely suppressing the preachers of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Then, the Holy Land of Taichu would directly replace the Heavenly Mandate Academy to preach here. Just as they said, for cultivators, it did not matter. If the Holy Land of Taichu's preaching ability was stronger, it would naturally be more suitable for those who sought the Way.
They came here just to make the Heavenly Mandate Academy their wedding dress, directly replacing the Heavenly Mandate Academy!
