The Nandou Clan started a grand purge.
Today, all the important figures in Donghai City felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. Seeing them being killed or disabled one by one, one could imagine how they felt.
The sonorous music was still playing. It seemed to be perfectly integrated into the scene. The music moved the wind and clouds, and the world was in chaos.
Not only did Ye Futian want to purge the Nandou Clan, but he also wanted to kill Emperor Luo and replace him with his uncle, Nandou Wenshan.
Nandou Wenshan was the king of the Nandou Nation. Even if his cultivation wasn't high enough, it didn't matter.
Nandou Tai was nailed to the chair. Seeing everything, he felt like a knife was twisting in his heart. Ye Futian still sat there playing quietly. He didn't even look at Nandou Tai.
At this moment, Nandou Tai naturally knew that he would die without a doubt.
Looking at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu, he felt that they were so compatible.
Back then, Nandou Tai did have the thought of helping them. However, he did not have the courage to do so. Especially when he realized how outstanding Ye Futian was, Emperor Luo's decree came. Minister Hua led cultivators here. He could only kill Ye Futian.
If he had trusted Ye Futian and gambled, what would have happened?
That day, Elder Qin, Yi Xiang, and the others had successfully escaped with Ye Futian and the others. With the help of the Nandou Clan, they would definitely be able to do it. Perhaps, Nandou Tai could really realize his dream and step onto the throne of the Nandou Nation.
But now, it was just an illusion, a dream.
Closing his eyes, the music entered his ears. Nandou Tai's heart was like dead ashes. He was in despair.
Yan Shao was the same. His cultivation was destroyed. Looking at Ye Futian, he was filled with hatred.
Back then, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were both disciples of Donghai Academy. Hua Jieyu, in particular, had studied in the School of the Emperor Star but ended up like this.
"Let's fight again," Hua Fengliu said, walking to the Art Saint.
"Okay." The Art Saint nodded. The battle between the Guqin Devil and the Art Saint continued.
The two controlled themselves to not be affected by Ye Futian's music. They fought directly. One played while the other painted. The messy sounds and the harsh environment created a chaotic scene.
At this moment, Zhou Mu was in a daze. There was no trace of the vigor he had when he was young. His former rival was now miles ahead of him. Even if he stood on his tiptoes, he would not be able to look up to him.
This time, Hua Fengliu had destroyed the Art Saint's Life Spirit. His fingers gently plucked the strings and then stopped. He looked up at his old opponent and said, "You should know how you beat me back then. Of course, I know it's not your fault. The School of the Emperor Star wanted you to win, so you won. My master couldn't stop you. Because of this, my master has always felt guilty towards me. For my daughter and disciple, he sacrificed himself."
The Art Saint smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew. He had always known. That was why he did not feel happy about defeating Hua Fengliu. He had never bragged about it.
However, that disgraceful victory became a classic battle that was talked about enthusiastically by the people of Eastsea City.
The surrounding people all revealed strange expressions. They didn't expect that there was something shady about the battle back then.
As for Hua Fengliu, he never said anything in front of the crowd. He didn't give an explanation. Everyone thought that he had lost.
Only today, after defeating the Art Saint, did he tell the truth.
Finally, Ye Futian's music also stopped. The cruel suppression also gradually came to an end. The Nandou Clan was in a mess. Many cultivators of the School of the Emperor Star were also destroyed.
"Uncle, I'll leave the Nandou Clan to you," Ye Futian said. Then he said, "Bring the two of them to Donghai Academy."
With that, Ye Futian turned and walked out. There were many people he knew here today but he didn't have the mood to do that right now.
After bringing Nandou Tai and Yan Shao, the group returned to Donghai Academy.
Right now, the frozen School of the Emperor Star was extremely magnificent. It was like a miracle. All the students of Donghai Academy gathered below the School of the Emperor Star. They looked at the frozen mountain and the statue of the old man playing the guqin at the top of the school. Many people didn't even know who he was. They only heard that he was the senior who played the song "A Chaotic Nation" at the Nandou Clan two years ago. He sacrificed himself to save Ye Futian.
"They're back." Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd. In the sky, Ye Futian's group returned with Nandou Tai and the headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star. Many people were shocked.
Nandou Tai was now a Noble.
Yan Shao was the leader of Donghai Academy.
These two could be said to be the most powerful people in Donghai City but they were brought to the School of the Emperor Star like ants.
Then, they were forced to kneel before the statue of Elder Qin.
"Ye Futian, give me a quick death. Elder Qin is my senior. Your master Hua Fengliu also has to call me Uncle-Master," Yan Shao said fearfully. He was really scared. Not only did he have to face death, but Ye Futian also wanted him to kneel before Elder Qin's statue forever. Even death couldn't wash away his sins. He would be despised for generations to come.
Ye Futian ignored Yan Shao. Only now did he know their relationship?
After the grandmaster died, his bones were all burned. The courtyard where his ashes were placed was left unattended. Weeds grew everywhere and it became an abandoned forbidden land. Did Yan Shao ever think that it was his senior? The senior who was killed by him and his people.
"Grandmaster, after them, the Luo and Minister Hua will also kneel here and repent," Ye Futian said coldly. Looking at the statue, he said, "Freeze them."
The Silver Snow Guard nodded. An extremely cold aura descended on the two. Extreme ice spells fell on Nandou Tai and Yan Shao.
"No …" Nandou Tai and Yan Shao trembled in fear but it was clearly useless. Soon, they turned into two ice statues and knelt before the old man's statue, repenting.
Ye Futian looked at the statue and didn't speak for a long time. Returning to Donghai City this time, he finally got rid of one thing. Now, only Luo Junlin, his father, and Minister Hua were left. They were the masterminds behind everything.
"Senior Yi, who will be in charge of Donghai Academy?" Ye Futian asked.
"I'll do it," Yi Xiang said. "I'll stay at Donghai Academy."
He'd seen a wider world but he also realized that a person's talent was indeed determined. He was already very old and his growth was limited. In the future, he planned to stay at Donghai Academy and teach the younger generation. He hoped that there wouldn't be a place like the School of the Emperor Star that was greedy for power in Donghai Academy.
The academy was a place to teach and to contribute to the future generations. He was willing to stay at Donghai Academy and contribute.
Ye Futian was stunned. Tang Lan and Yu Sheng walked up and called, "Master."
"Father." Yi Qingxuan's beautiful eyes also froze.
Yi Xiang smiled. "What are you shouting for? I'm already so old. I can't mess around with you. Yu Sheng, I'll leave Qingxuan to you from now on. It's not a waste to have such an outstanding disciple in this life."
"Have you gone senile?" Ye Futian stared at Yi Xiang. "What are you thinking? How can you improve in a small place like Donghai City?"
Yi Xiang glared at him. "What do you know? It's precisely because Donghai City is a small place that I stayed. In these two years, I've seen a lot and broadened my horizons. In Donghai City, I can broaden the horizons of the youths so that they won't be limited by the world in front of them. In their lives, there should be a distant sky.
"Plus, with an example like you, it's enough for me to brag about in Donghai Academy and fool the younger generation. It's enough to motivate them," Yi Xiang said, smiling.
Ye Futian was speechless. He knew Yi Xiang's personality. Since he'd decided, he probably couldn't change it.
"Then, if you get tired of it in the future, remember to come find us." Ye Futian didn't try to persuade him anymore.
"Okay, now that you've grown up, you dare to talk to me like this? Just don't deny me in the future," Yi Xiang said, glaring at Ye Futian.
"I wouldn't dare." Ye Futian rolled his eyes. Then, Yi Xiang turned around and walked forward.
Instantly, countless gazes fell on him from the School of the Emperor Star.
Yi Xiang looked at the crowd below and said, "I am the former headmaster of the Finance Star School, Yi Xiang. Today, I've decided to return to Donghai Academy."
"Headmaster Yi."
"Headmaster." Many people from the School of the Finance Star were excited. Was their Headmaster coming back? What's more, it was under such circumstances.
"I know that you're all confused about what happened today. Some of you are also angry." Yi Xiang looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Two years ago, Ye Futian, a student of the Finance Star School, and Hua Jieyu, a student of the School of the Emperor Star, fell in love. I'm sure you've all heard about how outstanding they were back then. Later, because of Minister Hua's relationship with the School of the Emperor Star, he forced the School of the Emperor Star to suppress the other schools and take control of Donghai Academy. Ye Futian and I left. Then, Emperor Luo sent an edict to make Ye Futian the Crown Prince's servant and Hua Jieyu the Crown Princess.
"The Nandou clan and the headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star helped the evildoers. For power and ambition, they didn't care about a few juniors. We fought back. For this, Elder Qin died in battle. I was injured and escaped. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu almost died. Luckily, they managed to escape. You should have heard about what happened after. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng returned from the Nandou Nation's Tingfeng Banquet. Who in the world can compare to them? Reality proved everything. Not just Nandou, but even in the Hundred Lands, who can compare to Ye Futian? "
"Now, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu are both disciples of top forces in the Eastern Barren Territory. But these two were almost forced to death by the Nandou Nation and the School of the Emperor Star. How can Donghai Academy be called an academy like this?" Yi Xiang said loudly, "I didn't come back because I coveted Donghai Academy's power. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng are like my disciples. I followed them to cultivate in the Eastern Barren Territory. Compared to cultivating in Donghai Academy, I don't need to say more. However, Donghai Academy is my home. I've spent half of my life here. I want Donghai Academy to be strong. I want the youths of the East Sea Prefecture to be strong. I want to see a different Donghai Academy."
"So, I stayed."
At this moment, Yi Xiang was full of righteousness. The disciples of Donghai Academy were silent. Then, a voice said, "Greetings, Headmaster Yi."
"Greetings, Headmaster Yi." The voice continued, shaking the sky.
There was righteousness in the world. Those with righteousness would naturally win people's hearts. Although the disciples of Donghai Academy were young, they could still tell right from wrong.
Headmaster Yi Xiang of the School of the Finance Star had given up his position when Ye Futian was in danger. He risked his life to bring Ye Futian into the Nandou clan to fight against injustice.
Now, Ye Futian had achieved success and recognition. He could have achieved meteoric success, but he gave up. He was willing to return to Donghai Academy and teach the younger generation.
