Ye Wuchen stood in the air. Sword intent flowed around him as he stared at Dugu Leng.
Qian Yang had noble fate and was at the pinnacle of the Dharma Plane. Even without a ritual implement, he could still fight Ye Wuchen. However, because of Dugu Leng, Qian Yang didn't even have the chance to show his power. He died just like that.
He died with grievances. Of course, Ye Wuchen didn't sympathize with him. He only felt that Dugu Leng was extremely cold-blooded. Without hesitation, he stabbed Qian Yang while they were facing each other.
Ye Wuchen had to admit that Dugu Leng's words made sense.
After the ancient relic, all the strong cultivators had left. Naturally, no one knew that Ye Futian and Qian Yang's group were still in the palace. As long as Ancient Loulan helped hide it, the outside world wouldn't know what happened. Ye Futian had the Virgin seal this area so the news wouldn't get out. That was why he acted.
However, if Qian Yang and the others disappeared into thin air, the Qianmeng area would definitely investigate to the end. In the end, they would still be able to find something. If Dugu Leng cooperated and pushed the blame onto the Barren City cultivators, it would undoubtedly be even more perfect. As for how exactly to hide it, since Dugu Leng could act so decisively, he must have his own methods.
"Yun Qianmo is a flaw," Ye Wuchen said. Yun Qianmo knew about their feud.
In reality, since he could kill Qian Yang, he wasn't afraid of revenge in the Ancient Barren World. The Qianmeng area didn't have this ability. He was worried that they would vent their anger on the Cangye Kingdom.
"Since Yun Qianmo agreed to be your servant, you can see her ambition for cultivation. My master only has one son. After Qian Yang's death, I'm the most likely to inherit the position. With Zhao Han's death, if she works with me, the position of the Sword Clan's leader might be hers," Dugu Leng said. Dugu Leng said, "She is a smart person, and the words of two people are more convincing than mine alone."
Dugu Leng was someone who could take 13 steps in the Noble Grotto. His talent was unquestionable.
Ye Wuchen was silent. Then the sword intent around him disappeared. "You better do as you say."
"I know what to do," Dugu Leng said. Dugu Leng said, "With your talents, even if I become the leader of the Qianmeng area, I don't want to have enemies like you."
He'd witnessed the trio's talents in the Noble Grotto. If they couldn't be killed, they would be. Today, Qian Yang, Zhao Han, and the others' deaths were the best proof.
Qian Yang wanted to use Ye Futian, but what was the end result?
As an orphan, his journey to where he was today was much more difficult than Qian Yang's. He was more observant and cold-blooded. Otherwise, he would not have survived until now.
"You can leave." He admitted that he was convinced. Yun Qianmo was indeed a weakness. Dugu Leng was the best person to deal with it.
"Farewell." Dugu Leng's silhouette flashed as he turned around to leave. No one stopped him.
After Dugu Leng left, Loulan Xue appeared. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng also arrived.
Ye Futian never came out. He believed that Ye Wuchen would handle it well.
"This guy hasn't said a word before." Yu Sheng said. Among Qian Yang's five, Dugu Leng had the least presence. Even though his talent was similar to Qian Yang's, he was easily ignored.
"This kind of person is dangerous," Ye Futian said coolly.
"Virgin, can you do me a favor?" Ye Futian looked up at Loulan Xue.
"Speak." Loulan Xue looked at him.
"Help me send people to Qianmeng City and keep an eye on their movements," Ye Futian said. Although he and Dugu Leng were now tied together, he still had to be cautious. He also wanted to see if Dugu Leng could successfully deceive everyone. Qian Yang's death would spread in Qianmeng City sooner or later. Then, he would know the truth.
"Okay." Loulan Xue understood Ye Futian's intentions and nodded.
"We'll cultivate for a while and wait for news from there. Then, we'll go to the Barren City," Ye Futian said to Ye Wuchen and Yu Sheng. No one had any objections.
The Barren City was the absolute center of the Eastern Barren Territory. The area around the city was the entrance to all the top forces. They each occupied an area and gathered in the Barren City to fight. There must be many strong cultivators there. There were even many forces like Ancient Loulan. It was obvious how powerful it was.
This would be their last stop in the Ancient Barren World. After the trip to the Barren City, they would leave the Ancient Barren World. In the Barren City, he would work hard to deal with the threat of Luo Junlin joining the Royal Xuan Temple.
…
Several months later, in the Cangye Imperial Palace.
Ye Xiao had returned, escorted by strong cultivators.
When Emperor Ye sent Ye Futian's group into the Ancient Barren World, he sent strong cultivators to stand guard outside, ready to receive them at any time. Everyone knew about Emperor Luo's murderous intent towards Ye Futian. He'd expressed his determination at the Tingfeng Banquet. If Emperor Luo didn't want to fight to the death, he wouldn't act himself. However, he still had to be careful. Thus, many strong cultivators of the Cangye Kingdom stood guard outside the entrance.
Other than that, the war between the Cangye Kingdom and the Nandou Nation had reached its climax. Emperor Ye himself had been watching Emperor Luo's movements.
Ye Xiao's return meant that Emperor Ye wanted to see him personally.
At this time, some geniuses from the Cangye College also entered the palace with Ye Xiao.
"How was your trip?" Emperor Ye asked Ye Xiao and the others with a smile.
"The Ancient Barren World is full of geniuses. You'll know how big the world is once you're there. The geniuses of the Cangye Kingdom are all extraordinary but they're nothing in the Ancient Barren World." Ye Xiao sighed. "Father, I need to work harder in the future."
"It's good that you know." Emperor Ye nodded. It seemed that he hadn't obtained the noble fate. Luo Junlin was indeed very talented to be able to obtain the noble fate.
"What about Ye Futian and Wuchen? Didn't they come back?" Emperor Ye asked.
Hearing the emperor's question, Ye Xiao frowned. He seemed to want to say something but stopped. Seeing his expression, Emperor Ye said, "If you have something to say, say it."
"Father, Ye Futian is an outsider after all. No matter how talented he is, aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?" Ye Xiao looked at Emperor Ye. "In the Ancient Barren World, Ye Futian relied on his talent and looked down on me. He didn't want to travel with me. Ye Wuchen and he were both geniuses of the Cangye Kingdom's Fenghua Banquet. The two of them got closer and I became an outsider."
Emperor Ye's eyes flashed. He looked at the others and saw that they were all silent. It was as if they agreed with Ye Xiao.
"I know. Go and rest," Emperor Ye said quietly.
"Yes." Ye Xiao nodded and left.
"Summon Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi," Emperor Ye said to his guards after Ye Xiao left.
Not long after, Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi arrived.
Seeing the two, Emperor Ye repeated what Ye Xiao had said to Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi. He asked, "What do you think?"
"Ye Futian is very proud but he's not that kind of person. Brother is a prince. Even if he wasn't, Father has done him a favor. He wouldn't do this," Ye Danchen said.
"I agree. At the Fenghua Banquet, Ye Futian asked to cure his master. Yu Sheng asked to find his master. Later, at the Nandou Nation's Tingfeng Banquet, they also worked hard for this," Ye Lingxi said. "If he didn't see Ye Futian's personality, Father wouldn't treat him like this, right?"
Emperor Ye had nothing to say about Ye Futian. He had adopted Hua Jieyu as his daughter and almost started a war with Emperor Luo for Ye Futian. Later, it caused a war between the two countries. Moreover, Luo Junlin was valued by the major forces of the Eastern Barren Territory.
If it was just talent, Ye Futian was a heartless person. When the Cangye Kingdom faced disaster in the future, what could he do?
"You think Ye Xiao is lying?" Emperor Ye asked.
Ye Danchen lowered his head. Ye Lingxi was silent as well. This was a sensitive topic.
"If so, Ye Xiao must have done something unfriendly to Ye Futian," Emperor Ye said quietly. If not, Ye Xiao wouldn't have come to complain and offend Ye Futian. Unless the two of them had a conflict in the Ancient Barren World, Ye Xiao could only complain first.
Moreover, Ye Xiao cultivated at Cangye College. It was normal for the college to be close to him. But if they were to lie with him …
At this time, someone called from outside, "Your Majesty, Princess Jieyu requests an audience."
"Let Jieyu in," Emperor Ye said. He looked outside and saw Hua Jieyu walk in.
Hua Jieyu was still as beautiful and elegant as before. Her temperament seemed to be even more outstanding. Emperor Ye knew that Hua Jieyu had been cultivating with the Imperial Advisor recently. She had changed and improved greatly.
"Jieyu greets Godfather," Hua Jieyu bowed.
"Jieyu, I said you don't have to bow like an outsider. Futian doesn't have your manners," Emperor Ye said, smiling.
"Godfather, I heard that the eldest prince is back," Hua Jieyu said. Emperor Ye smiled at her. "You want to know about Futian?"
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded.
"Futian didn't come back with Ye Xiao. He's probably still cultivating in the Ancient Barren World. Ye Xiao's talent isn't good, so he came out early," Emperor Ye said.
"Godfather, I want to go to the Ancient Barren World." Hua Jieyu looked at Emperor Ye.
"Nonsense. You've improved a lot in the past six months but you're only in the Second Level Dharma Plane."
"He entered the Ancient Barren World before reaching the Dharma Plane," Hua Jieyu said. "Also, I haven't been able to break through to the Third Level Dharma Plane. I want to go to the Ancient Barren World to train."
Emperor Ye saw Hua Jieyu's eyes and nodded. "Okay. Danchen and Lingxi will go with you. I'll also send people to protect you. Don't do anything stupid in the Ancient Barren World."
"Thank you, Godfather." Hua Jieyu nodded with a smile and left.
Hua Fengliu knew that she wanted to go to the Ancient Barren World and refused. "Jieyu, Futian is very smart. Are you worried about him?"
"I'm worried," Hua Jieyu said softly. "It's been so long. Can't he come back to see me?"
Hua Fengliu was shocked by Hua Jieyu's expression. He said, "Jieyu, Futian seems to be a playboy but he's just saying it. You don't have to worry about it."
"I trust him but I don't trust other women," Hua Jieyu mumbled. "He's so bad. He's very likable."
