The long whip in Zhuge Hui's hand swept through the air. The cultivator who was heading towards Ye Futian suddenly changed his expression and quickly retreated.
The long whip swept through the air at extreme speed. The dazzling lightning on the whip seemed to have turned into a sharp blade that could cut through the air.
"Pa …"
The long whip landed directly on that person's body. Accompanied by a scream, everyone was shocked to find that the powerful noble's body was directly cut in half by the long whip. At this moment, the lightning whip dancing in the air seemed to have turned into an indestructible sharp weapon.
Throwing the body away, Zhuge Hui's body turned into a blur and continued towards Ye Futian. At the same time, the Sword Saint also made a terrifying slash and forced back the leader of the Fuyun Sword Clan and the lord of the Royal Xuan Temple. He retreated like a blade will. As for Gu Dongliu, he wanted to leave the battlefield. Qin Yu couldn't chase him at all.
Soon, the battlefield separated. Zhuge Hui, the Sword Saint, and Gu Dongliu stood in the air before Ye Futian, not letting the cultivators of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan get close.
The people of the Donghua Clan weren't in a hurry to continue fighting. Clan leader Hua and Lady Yuxiao both looked at Hua Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, come here."
Hua Qingqing stepped out and walked towards Lady Yuxiao.
Clan leader Hua and his wife looked at the white robe Hua Qingqing was wearing and were both surprised. Lady Yuxiao called out, "Qingqing?"
Her eyes were full of questions. She had seen before that the white robe was Ye Futian's. Now, Ye Futian didn't have the robe. Clearly, it was Hua Qingqing who was wearing it.
Nan Feng, Chu Shang, and the others looked at Hua Qingqing. She probably couldn't say that she was humiliated. This was unbearable for any woman.
As for Du Ao, his expression was cold. Bathed in the light of the divine fire, the fire in his eyes seemed to be sneering.
"Father, mother, let's go back," Hua Qingqing suddenly said. She really couldn't say this. It wasn't just about her reputation. How was she going to explain that Ye Futian had helped her put on the robe?
Should she say that Ye Futian saved her? That would be equivalent to harming Ye Futian. Everyone in the Barren State would know that Ye Futian was responsible for the Demon Bird.
Thus, Hua Qingqing hoped to stop the battle and go back to explain to her parents.
"Go back?" Patriarch Hua was surprised and said, "Nan Tian, bring Qing Qing to the side."
He would deal with Hua Qingqing when he returned. The most important thing now was to finish this battle. The three disciples of the Cottage were too powerful. If he really let them go, the consequences would be unimaginable. He naturally understood that if he had a few more years, the three would truly stand at the top of the Eastern Barren Territory. The king of Qin had also considered this point in his haste to act.
Hua Qingqing looked at her father with her beautiful eyes. She was in a dilemma. If she told Ye Futian that he had saved her, she might get him killed. If she didn't, her parents would kill Ye Futian.
As for telling her parents that the Barren State's Du Ao had almost humiliated her, what would the consequences be? His parents waged war against the Barren State? The result might lead to the destruction of the Donghua Clan.
Hua Qingqing's pure and beautiful eyes were filled with struggle. She did not know what to do.
Qin Yu also stared at Hua Qingqing. She was actually wearing Ye Futian's clothes. It seemed that this woman was not as pure as she appeared. His sister Qin Mengruo had married Qian Shanmu of the Donghua Clan and was killed. What did Hua Qingqing do? She actually hid the fact that Ye Futian was on Sky Mountain. It seemed that something they did not know had happened on Sky Mountain last year.
However, Qin Yu did not blame Hua Qingqing now. He would deal with her later. Right now, he still needed the Hua couple's power to deal with the Sword Saint.
At this time, in the Qianqiu Temple's direction, the Arhat saw that everyone seemed to be in a stalemate. He looked at the strong cultivators of the Barren State and said, "You didn't go up Sky Mountain?"
The people from the Barren State turned to look at the Arhat. He continued, "With the guidance of two people who have gone up Sky Mountain, it should be possible that we can't go up."
"We were attacked by a Demon Bird," Nan Feng said.
"Demon Bird?"
The Arhat's expression changed. He glanced at Ye Futian and saw that Ye Futian was also looking at him, his eyes cold.
At this moment, Ye Futian suddenly understood who the snitch was. He did not think that it would be the Arhat of the Qianqiu Temple. He must have guessed something.
"I understand." The Arhat retracted his gaze and put his palms together. He chanted the name of Buddha and then stopped talking.
"What do you mean?" Nan Yu asked.
"I can't say." The Arhat shook his head.
Nan Yu frowned. Han Lan of Taixuan Mountain also said, "If you know something, say it."
"You won't believe me even if I say it. Moreover, I will be hated. My cultivation is still low and I cannot take it." The Arhat shook his head.
"Kongming." The abbot of the Qianqiu Temple looked at the Arhat. The Arhat's Dharma name was Kongming.
Du Ao stepped forward and walked towards the Qianqiu Temple. The Three-legged Golden Raven and the strong cultivators of the Sacred Fire Sect followed behind him.
Looking at the Arhat below, Du Ao said, "Tell me and I promise that no one can touch you."
"The abbot does not allow me to speak." The Arhat still shook his head. "If I speak, the abbot will blame me. How can I cultivate in the future?"
"You can follow me to the Barren State and cultivate in the Sacred Fire Sect," Du Ao said.
The Arhat looked at the others. Nan Feng also walked over and said, "I also promise that no one will dare touch you."
The Arhat nodded slightly and then bowed to the abbot of the Qianqiu Temple. "Abbot, a monk does not lie. I will speak the truth."
After saying this, he looked at Du Ao and the others. "There is no Demon Bird on Sky Mountain."
"Do you think we are blind?" Nan Yu said coldly. He had been attacked by the Demon Bird and was injured badly.
"The Qianqiu Temple has been in the west for many years and has always looked at Sky Mountain. No one knows Sky Mountain better than us. There is only the will left by the Demon Bird here. If you don't believe me, you can ask the abbot," the Arhat said. Everyone's eyes fell on the abbot. The abbot put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. They were disappointed.
"Old monk," Nan Yu looked at the abbot and asked.
"Looking at Sky Mountain can help you see your nature. It seems that Kongming, you already know your heart," the abbot said.
The Arhat nodded and said, "I know."
"If that is the case, you may leave," the abbot said.
"Thank you, abbot." The Arhat bowed. Of course, he knew his heart. The more he cultivated Buddhism, the more he saw.
The Buddha said that all were equal. How could there be equality? How could those high and mighty people be worshipped by all?
To him, cultivating Buddhism was just a pursuit of power.
Now, the Qianqiu Temple had no ambition. With the changes in the Eastern Barren Territory, the Qianqiu Temple was no longer worth his time.
The Buddha spoke of opportunity. Now, his opportunity had come.
"Let's go," the abbot said. He turned and left with the people of the Qianqiu Temple. Many people looked at the Arhat. He was very talented in Buddhism and could easily decipher the essence of the scriptures. That was why he was named the Arhat. However, he seemed to be good at hiding himself. What a pity.
The people of the Barren State saw this and knew that the Arhat was right. Du Ao said, "Continue."
"Last time, I said that Hua Qingqing wasn't the only one who went to Sky Mountain. Ye Futian was also there. In fact, other than the two of them, there were others." The Arhat continued, "When Ye Futian went to Sky Mountain and killed Qin Li of the Qin Dynasty, he was already in a desperate situation. He couldn't fight and was chased by Hua Qingqing. The one who protected Ye Futian was another Cottage disciple, Yu Sheng. His brother also had a demon, the Black Wind Condor. To protect Ye Futian, the Black Wind Condor transformed into a Demon Bird and injured me and Hua Qingqing. Then, it flew to Sky Mountain. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng went together and Hua Qingqing followed."
The Arhat said slowly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Qin Li's father, Qin Yu. He was the one who told you that Hua Qingqing went to Sky Mountain. Of course, you can also ask Hua Qingqing, but my guess is that there must be something between her and Ye Futian. Otherwise, she wouldn't be wearing that robe."
Du Ao's face turned green immediately. Nan Feng, Nan Yu, and the others were also shocked.
After hearing the Arhat's words, they believed most of it. Since there was no Demon Bird on Sky Mountain, where did it come from?
"That Demon Bird saved Hua Qingqing," Du Ao said in a low voice. Nan Feng and the others' expressions became even sharper. Everything was clear now.
The Demon Bird suddenly appeared on Sky Mountain to attack them and save Hua Qingqing. Then, Ye Futian put a robe on Hua Qingqing.
It was funny. They had thought that Ye Futian was just being protective. It seemed that they were too naive and had been played by a young man from the Eastern Barren Territory.
"Wonderful."
Nan Yu clapped and turned around slowly. He gazed at where Ye Futian was.
It was indeed wonderful. He brought them up Sky Mountain and then let the Demon Bird attack and injure them. No wonder he had been tempting them to go up.
Du Ao's eyes were even colder and filled with murderous intent.
That Demon Bird wanted to kill him.
Perhaps Ye Futian didn't dare to kill all of them, but if he killed one and was with the others, no one would suspect Ye Futian.
They didn't expect that they would almost die in the Eastern Barren Territory.
Ye Futian didn't look at them. His eyes were extremely cold as he looked at the Arhat.
With the Arhat's words, all the truth was revealed. He couldn't hide it anymore. He deserved to die.
Zhuge Hui and Gu Dongliu also looked at the Arhat with cold expressions. However, the Arhat had already stepped onto the Three-legged Golden Raven and followed Du Ao. He had betrayed the Qianqiu Temple because he saw this opportunity. He wanted to use this chance to leave the Eastern Barren Territory and cultivate in the Barren State.
"You lured me up Sky Mountain and put me under great pressure. Then, the Demon Bird attacked. You want to kill me?" Nan Yu asked Ye Futian with a smile. However, his smile was cold.
"Are you serious?" Murderous intent flashed in Nan Yu's eyes.
