When Ye Futian heard Jian Ao's words, he glanced at him.
Previously, Jian Ao did nothing to save them, but he still saved the people of Tianshen Academy on the battlefield. Although he did not expect Jian Ao to be grateful, he thought that Jian Ao would at least remain neutral. However, he did not expect Jian Ao to say such meaningful words.
Although he had done meritorious service, deceiving the princess and the people of the Divine Prefecture was equivalent to acknowledging his crime. He deserved to be executed!
This was a classic case of biting the hand that fed him.
Ye Futian was a little confused. Why did Jian Ao want to attack him?
No matter what, there was no conflict of interest between them. It was impossible for people of this level to do things without their own logic. So, was it for Jian Qingzhu?
Was he blocking Jian Qingzhu's path?
After all, before he appeared, Jian Qingzhu was one of the most outstanding figures of his generation. From the strength of Shen Hao, Di Wu, and the others, they could not suppress Jian Qingzhu. If they did not appear, Jian Qingzhu might indeed become an unparalleled existence among his generation in the Nine Realms. Previously, Jian Ao had also hoped to send Jian Qingzhu to the Divine Prefecture to cultivate beside the princess.
So, was this the reason why he was targeting him? To pave the way for Jian Qingzhu?
Even Jian Qingzhu looked at Jian Ao in surprise. He did not understand. Tianshen Academy taught and cultivated in the Central Emperor Realm. The elders of the Jian clan had always had high hopes for him. They had always hoped that he would become a representative of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path and enter the Divine Prefecture to cultivate in the future.
Moreover, he had always worked hard for this.
Although Ye Futian had overshadowed his brilliance, he would still walk his own path. Now, the elders wanted to deal with Ye Futian. This made him very confused. With their temperaments, why would they do this?
Was it to pave the way for him?
If that was the case, he did not need it.
Moreover, no matter what Ye Futian's goal was to hide his strength, his contributions in this battle were obvious to all. Moreover, he had indeed saved him and many people from Tianshen Academy. Although he did not act earlier, this was Ye Futian's choice. They had no right to force it.
"I don't agree with father's words." At this moment, Jian Qingzhu walked forward. He bowed slightly to Princess Donghuang, who was on the stairs, and said, "Your Highness must have witnessed what happened on the battlefield. I was there as well. It is normal for Ye Futian to prioritize the safety of the people of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. If it were me, I would also prioritize the safety of the cultivators of Tianshen Academy. I believe that everyone here is the same. Who can say that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for others?"
"Ye Futian has been fighting with all his might on the battlefield while ensuring the safety of the people of Tianshen Academy. He has always been the most outstanding in various major battles, killing many Renhuangs on the other side. It was the weakness of the other forces in the Divine Prefecture that led to the defeat. After that, Ye Futian unleashed an even stronger force to turn the tide. If it weren't for Ye Futian, more people from the forces present today would have died on the battlefield. I don't think that the person who was saved has the right to criticize and convict the person who turned the tide of the battle."
Jian Qingzhu's words caused many people to look at him. Even Princess Donghuang looked at him seriously.
It took some courage to say these words at this time. After all, there were many forces against Ye Futian. Other than many top forces in the Nine Realms, there were also forces from the Divine Prefecture. They had formed an alliance to target Ye Futian.
It naturally took courage for Jian Qingzhu to speak up for Ye Futian under such circumstances.
Moreover, he implied that the people from the other forces had no right to say that Ye Futian was guilty.
"Step down. You have no right to speak here," Jian Ao scolded Jian Qingzhu. Jian Ao scolded Jian Qingzhu. Jian Qingzhu looked at his eyes and saw that Jian Ao's gaze carried a sense of majesty, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with Jian Qingzhu. However, Jian Qingzhu did not avoid Jian Ao's gaze.
Cultivators were originally cautious and magnanimous. This was originally taught to him by Jian Ao. Why was Jian Ao acting against his original intentions now?
If it was for him, Jian Qingzhu felt that it was unnecessary.
Ye Futian was also a little surprised. He did not expect Jian Qingzhu to stand out and even oppose his own family's position. This made Ye Futian admire him. He was becoming more and more confused about Tianshen Academy.
What kind of thoughts did Jian Ao have?
Princess Donghuang's gaze fell on Ye Futian again. She asked, "Aren't you going to explain the Power of Yin?"
Hearing her words, everyone's gaze focused on Ye Futian. The Power of Yin was also a question in their hearts. However, no one took the initiative to bring it up. Everyone had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Princess," Ye Futian replied. Ye Futian said, "That day in the Shadow Realm, I was chased by the cultivators of the Evil Emperor Realm. I had no choice but to head towards the center of the Shadow Realm to avoid the cultivators of the other side. I walked all the way to the area of the Shadow Storm. With my cultivation level, it was difficult for me to withstand the storm, so I activated the will of the Great Emperor that I inherited from God's relic to protect my body. I also used my own cultivation method to try and refine the Power of Yin in order to protect myself.
"However, the Power of Yin was too overbearing. It invaded my body and spiritual soul. It could not be stopped at all. Because of this, I was invaded and fainted. It was as though everything had stopped. It was only my survival instinct that caused me to continue refining the Power of Yin before I fainted. Princess, you should know what happened after that. After I woke up, I realized that I had refined a lot of the Power of Yin and could use it. Hence, I integrated it into my attacks. However, it was also the first time I had seen how strong this power was."
What Ye Futian meant was that he had no idea how strong he was. That explained why he had not used his full strength before. He himself did not know how strong he was.
Naturally, he did not dare to say that he had obtained a divine item. The implications were too great. The various forces had invited him to eliminate him because they were afraid of him. If he added the divine item to the mix, there would only be more people who wanted to kill him.
Moreover, the center of the Shadow Realm was extremely dangerous. He believed that no one would think that he could obtain a divine item with his current cultivation level. At most, they would speculate that it was the will of the Emperor that had saved his life and allowed him to cultivate the Power of Yin.
Even so, Ye Futian was still in extreme danger.
"Now, you can argue however you want," Shen Gao of the Divine Palace said coldly. He then looked at Princess Donghuang and said, "Your Royal Highness, in this battle, our Shen clan has lost more than ten Renhuangs. They were all core members of the Shen clan with outstanding talents. If it is true that we are inferior to our opponents, then we will admit defeat. However, our Shen clan has fought a bloody battle, but there are people who have hidden their forces, resulting in many unnecessary casualties. Our Shen clan has no right to ask for anything. However, regardless of whether the Princess rewards or punishes us, from today onwards, our Shen clan will officially declare war on the Heavenly Mandate Academy."
Today was such a good opportunity. Cultivators from all sides had stepped forward and ended the Battle of the Original Realm.
Then, it was time to sort out their affairs.
Last time, the Princess had set the rules for the Battle of the Original Realm. If they wanted to fight, they had to go to the Empty Imperial Palace and not harm the innocent.
So this time, it was a good opportunity to go to war.
After they had caused such a ruckus, even if the Princess did not convict Ye Futian, it would not be appropriate for her to interfere in the feud between them, right?
They claimed that Ye Futian had committed a crime and should be executed. However, they also understood that it was almost impossible to convict and execute Ye Futian.
By striking first, they could better control the situation. At the very least, they could not let the Princess openly side with Ye Futian. By then, it would be too late, and nothing could be done.
"The Golden Divine Nation also requests to fight," Gai Cang also said.
After that, one force after another opened their mouths to fight. The expressions of the Heavenly Mandate Academy and Ye Futian's group did not look good.
After seeing Ye Futian's strength, they did not want to give Ye Futian a chance to turn things around.
The oppressive atmosphere was even more subtle. These forces were all top forces in the Divine Prefecture and the Original Realm. Their weight could not be underestimated. Even Princess Donghuang could not ignore their existence. These top forces were also forces that the Divine Prefecture needed to rely on.
Cao Jun stood behind Princess Donghuang. His gaze swept across the people below. His majestic eyes carried a hint of coldness and sharpness.
Today, although these people wanted to convict Ye Futian, in reality, they were also pressuring the Princess.
He could naturally see that these people were afraid of Ye Futian's potential. They did not want such a person to have a chance to soar into the sky. Therefore, they struck first, listing Ye Futian's crimes before the Princess made a decision. In this way, they prevented the Princess from rewarding and valuing Ye Futian.
After all, once the Princess rewarded Ye Futian and wanted to train him, then everything would be set in stone. At that time, they would not be able to change anything even if they wanted to.
They were all sly and cunning old foxes.
They were not only scheming against Ye Futian, but also against the Princess.
At that moment, a powerful aura permeated from afar. Many people looked up and saw the golden divine light of space surging. A group of cultivators descended from the sky. Darkness descended again, covering the Empty Imperial Palace.
The cultivators of the Evil Emperor Realm and the Dark Court had arrived.
Everyone looked up at the people from both sides. The Evil Emperor Realm was led by Shi Xie, and the Dark Court was led by the Lord of the Underworld. He stared coldly at Ye Futian in the crowd with murderous intent.
"Since the Empty Divine Realm and the Dark Court have been defeated, do you come to the Empty Imperial Palace to violate the agreement and start a war?" Cao Jun's gaze swept over the cultivators of the other side as he spoke coldly. The reason why this war had erupted was because of the consensus of the three forces.
Although they wanted to fight for the Original Realm, none of them wanted to suffer too many losses. Therefore, they had arranged such a battle. Lower-level Renhuangs would fight to minimize their losses. They all had their concerns. Otherwise, it was impossible to imagine what the situation would be like in a battle between the three forces.
Now, since the Divine Prefecture had already won, the possibility of the other side going back on their word was not high.
Otherwise, it could only be a true war.
"Since we have lost, I will naturally admit defeat," Shi Xie replied. "But today, I came here to join in the fun. That is not a violation of the agreement, right? Our Evil Emperor Realm promises not to touch the Original Realm. Whatever you want to do, please continue. Just ignore us. "
Many people frowned. These two forces would most likely be unwilling to accept this defeat.
Moreover, Ye Futian had killed many of their people!
