Everyone from the College looked at Lady Yuxiao kneeling in the air, bathed in flames. They were all moved.
Lady Yuxiao used to be a very famous woman in the Eastern Barren Territory. She later married Clan Leader Hua but ended up in such a miserable state. No matter what their past relationship was like, many people from the College felt sad. This scene was too tragic.
Goddess Wangyue clenched her fist. Ice Will fell on Lady Yuxiao, trying to put out the burning flames.
However, the fire of the Golden Raven also seemed to contain a trace of Sage Will and could not be extinguished. Her body gradually became illusory. She endured the terrible pain and only stared at Mr. Du.
"Mother!" Hua Qingqing cried out when she saw her mother's miserable state. Her pure face was now covered in tears.
"Ah …" Mr. Du sighed. He knew that Lady Yuxiao could not be saved anymore. Right now, she was only using her own power to keep her body from disintegrating. Mr. Du said, "Go in peace."
"Thank you, Mr. Du." Lady Yuxiao kowtowed to Mr. Du. Then, her body dissipated in the flames and disappeared in an instant.
"Mother …" Hua Qingqing's heart ached. She wanted to go forward, but Goddess Wangyue stretched out her hand. An invisible wind spell wrapped around her body and brought her to her side.
Ye Futian also did not expect such an ending after letting Clan Leader Hua and his wife go. He stared coldly at the cultivators of the Sacred Fire Clan and the young man on the Three-legged Golden Raven, Du Ao.
Back on Sky Mountain, Du Ao had wanted to make a move on Hua Qingqing, but Ye Futian had stopped him. Ye Futian had never thought that Du Ao would not only not hide his evil deeds after leaving Sky Mountain, but also openly make a move on Hua Qingqing. This disciple from a major force in the Barren State actually has no shame at all? Perhaps he did not care about the opinions of the world at all. He just did whatever he wanted. Even if he did evil, he did it openly.
Even if the Qin Dynasty wanted to destroy the Liu Kingdom, they would at least find an excuse.
"Sorry to disturb you. This woman is someone we want. Please hand her over to the Sacred Fire Clan." An old man bathed in flames stepped forward. A wisp of Sage Will emanated from him, and his aura was extremely powerful. He was the one who had attacked Lady Yuxiao and killed her.
The people from the College looked at the other party. Although his words were presumptuous, there was not the slightest bit of respect in his eyes. They all understood that the Sacred Fire Sect was able to do such evil things because they naturally did not have good or evil thoughts. This was because there were sages in the College, which was why they had a trace of fear. Otherwise, they probably would not even bother to say a word and would directly attack.
The scene of the Sacred Fire Sect and other forces coming to the College was still vivid in their minds. Those people from the Barren State were so arrogant.
"Scram." Mr. Du said coldly. The strong cultivator of the Sacred Fire Clan stared at Mr. Du in the air. Even a Sage from the Eastern Barren Territory did not seem to be enough to make him respect him too much.
"Since Senior doesn't welcome us, let's go." On the back of the Three-legged Golden Raven, Du Ao said emotionlessly. He glanced at Ye Futian with a faint sneer. Ye Futian also looked at him. From Du Ao's eyes, he could see a trace of contempt and mockery.
On Sky Mountain, Ye Futian had used the will of Sky Mountain to be so arrogant. He had tortured and killed many strong cultivators and used the sound of the bell to injure all the strong cultivators from the Barren State.
But now, there were sages in the Eastern Barren Territory. The ban had been lifted. He wanted to see how arrogant Ye Futian would be then.
Du Ao was not anxious about the retreat of the people from the Sacred Fire Sect. When the sages of the Sacred Fire Sect arrived, both Ye Futian and Hua Qingqing would be in the bag.
"Arrogant," College Chief Xiao said coldly. He was extremely angry, but he had no choice. Although his junior brother could make them stay, he had to think for the College's disciples.
Others might not know, but he knew that his junior brother would not be able to stay on Book Mountain for long.
The moment the ban was lifted, many things had already been decided.
Everyone looked at Hua Qingqing. Seeing her crying face, many people could not bear it. The people from the Sacred Fire Sect had chased them all the way to the College. It was obvious what would happen to the Donghua Clan. There was no need to ask.
"Take her away to rest," Mr. Du said to Hua Qingqing. He sighed inwardly.
"Okay." Goddess Wangyue nodded and took Hua Qingqing away. The others also dispersed.
The disciples of the Cottage were still there. Mr. Du shook his head and said, "Those with weapons will not be restrained by rules. They will not be able to control their desires with just their conscience."
With that, he also left.
Ye Futian looked at his teacher's back. He somewhat understood his teacher's ideals. This was a strong cultivator from the Barren State. He had stepped into the Eastern Barren Territory without any fear. He did not hide his desires at all and did not care about what others thought of him. In order to steal someone, he did not hesitate to kill her family. How cruel.
With weapons, he naturally wanted to kill.
Because no one restrained him.
It was said that Hua Qingqing, one of the three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory, was pure and kind. She did not know the evils of the world and her beauty was pure. Because she was born, she did not need to be involved in the world and was protected.
However, she, who was the purest and kindest, had experienced the cruelest evil in the world. It was really ridiculous.
"Fourth Senior Brother, do you have a pen and paper?" Ye Futian asked Xue Ye.
"Yes." Xue Ye nodded. Then, he took out a pen and paper and asked, "Junior, what do you want to do?"
"Copy the music score," Ye Futian said.
Then, he walked to a stone table. He spread out the paper and carved the music score on it.
Zhuge Hui and the others were curious and came to Ye Futian's side.
"This is?" Zhuge Hui whispered.
"Ukiyo," Ye Futian said, smiling.
"What are you doing?" Zhuge Hui asked.
"I will give anyone from the Barren State who comes to the College." Ye Futian's voice was very calm. Everyone's expression froze and they looked at him.
Ukiyo was one of the top ten songs in the world. The emperor had left it. Was Ye Futian going to give it away so easily?
"You will give it to anyone who comes?" Zhuge Hui asked.
"Yes, I will give it to anyone who comes." Ye Futian nodded seriously. "No, I should say I'm lending it to them. In the future, I'll make them pay me back."
"…"
Ye Futian was prepared to remember all the forces that would come to Book Mountain.
This kind of compromise was probably a form of helplessness.
"Don't worry. It's not that easy to learn Ukiyo. I will also leave a copy in the College for the College to copy. In the future, if any powerful forces from the Barren State want it, I will give it to them," Ye Futian said with a smile. Hua Qingqing's attainments in the art of the guqin were also extremely high, but even she could not play this song.
Ye Futian could play it because he had resonated with the two emperors' wills on Sky Mountain and directly received the music's baptism. The last part of the song was played with the emperor's will. He was sure that even if the strong cultivators from the Barren State got the Ukiyo, they wouldn't be able to learn it so easily. They might not even be able to learn it.
Zhuge Hui smiled and went up to rub Ye Futian's head. "Little brother, you're really different. I like you more and more."
"Uh …" Ye Futian blinked and secretly glanced at his third brother.
"Jieyu, you don't mind, do you?" Zhuge Hui smiled at Hua Jieyu.
"Senior Sister, if you like them, you can take them away," Hua Jieyu said gently.
Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu, feeling wronged. Did she have to be so cruel?
…
Today was a special day for the College. College Chief Xiao summoned the disciples of Book Mountain, the Sword Saint Mountain, and Goddess Wangyue also summoned the Moon Clan.
The huge crowd gathered in the vast square of Book Mountain and looked at the group in front.
College Chief Xiao, the Sword Saint, Zhuge Hui, Gu Dongliu, the mountain elders, Goddess Wangyue, and the others all stood high up in front and looked at the people from the College.
Many people had vaguely heard the news and knew what College Chief Xiao would announce today. Even at the foot of Book Mountain, countless people gathered and looked at the sacred Book Mountain, the holy land of the Eastern Barren Territory.
The news of what happened in the Donghua Clan had already spread. The strong cultivators from the Barren State did whatever they wanted, making countless people angry. Now, Hua Qingqing was taken in by Book Mountain. If it weren't for Mr. Du, she would have been taken away by the Barren State.
However, could the College stop the strong cultivators from the Barren State?
"From today onwards, Sword Saint Mountain will merge with the College. Disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain will cultivate in the College. If anyone is unwilling, they can leave." The Sword Saint's voice came from Book Mountain. Many people's hearts trembled.
"From today onwards, the Moon Clan will merge with the College. Disciples of the Moon Clan will cultivate in the College. If anyone is unwilling, they can leave." Goddess Wangyue's voice also came.
"From today onwards, the position of the College Chief will be held by the Sword Saint. Goddess Wangyue will be the Vice College Chief. She will assist the Sword Saint in managing the College and teaching the Eastern Barren Territory." Another old voice came. Countless people at the foot of Book Mountain looked up at the stairs. Today, the three top figures of the Eastern Barren Territory announced important news at the same time.
From now on, the Sword Saint and Goddess Wangyue would be in charge of the College.
A few people appeared at the foot of the stairs. They were divided into three groups. Many people exclaimed. The strong cultivators from the three groups were from the Qianqiu Temple, the Witch Clan, and the Ji Family.
All the forces of the Eastern Barren Territory had gathered here. The three top forces had come to visit.
Mr. Du didn't want to unify the Eastern Barren Territory, but the reality was that the Eastern Barren Territory belonged to the College now.
The three forces walked up the stairs and arrived at Book Mountain.
"I'm here to congratulate the College. I hope that Sword Saint will not forget his original intentions." The abbot of the Qianqiu Temple put his palms together and bowed to the Sword Saint.
"Master, you're too polite. I will definitely follow your instructions." The Sword Saint bowed back.
"The Witch Clan is here to congratulate the College."
"The Ji Family is here to congratulate the College."
The other two forces also congratulated. In the crowd, the Witch Clan's Gu Biyue smiled and looked in Ye Futian's direction. Who would have thought that this day would come when they first met in the Ancient Barren World?
