Qingzhou City was now full of ruins. It had been ravaged by the beast tide.
Many buildings had collapsed, and many families had been destroyed. The entire city was in a miserable state.
Fortunately, the Beast Tide did not last for too long. Later on, many foreign experts from the Eastern Sea Prefecture appeared in the city to help exterminate the Demonic Beasts. Thus, Qingzhou City did not suffer too much. However, it would probably take a long time for the city to completely recover.
Moreover, after the beast tide had passed, the earthquake in Qingzhou City was far from stopping.
After the return of Qingzhou Academy and General Qin Shuai, it was said that the vice chief of the East Sea Prefecture was very unhappy. In a fit of rage, he destroyed General Qin Shuai's powers. The knights of the Dark Qilin Qilin Knighthood were enraged, but they were brutally suppressed by the East Sea Prefecture, the Guards of Qing under the control of the City Lord, and the Murong Chamber of Commerce. Many ended up in a miserable state, and the Dark Qilin Knighthood, the guardian of the City of Qingzhou, became a thing of the past.
After that, City Lord Wei Meng was transferred away from Qingzhou City, and the leader of the Murong Chamber of Commerce, Murong Yunshan, took over Wei Meng's position and became the leader of Qingzhou City.
Many people were not happy about this. There were many rumors circulating in the city that there were relics left behind by Emperor Ye Qing in Mount Tianyao. The powerful cultivators of the East Sea Prefecture who had been arriving at Mount Tianyao seemed to have confirmed this rumor. However, those who went to Mount Tianyao all returned empty-handed. Some were halfway there, while others were close to the relics. Rumor had it that the vice chief of the East Sea Prefecture teamed up with the City Lord and the Murong Chamber of Commerce to clear a path to Mount Tianyao and force the Qingzhou Academy and Qin Shuai to attack Mount Tianyao.
When such a rumor spread out, one could imagine how dissatisfied everyone was.
But it was useless. The Murong Merchant Guild was one of the top forces in Qingzhou City, and now that they held the power of the City Lord, who dared to say anything? Furthermore, he had the support of the vice chief of the East Sea Prefecture. The people of the City of Qingzhou could only complain behind his back, but they could not change anything. Even the holy land of the City of Qingzhou, the Qingzhou Academy, did not say anything.
In the mansion of the Ye family in Qingzhou City, a Black Wind Eagle descended from the sky. After dropping off three figures, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, circling above Qingzhou City.
Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Hua Fengliu appeared at the Ye Clan. They left the mountain so quickly because they were worried about their family.
But when they returned, Ye Futian's heart continued to sink. At this moment, the Ye Clan's residence had been reduced to ruins. It was a mess, and no one was in sight.
"Father, Mother." Ye Futian ran towards the mansion where his parents lived. The house had collapsed and everything was empty.
"Godfather." There was a hint of sadness in Ye Futian's voice. Still, no one answered.
Yu Sheng was also running around, his eyes red.
What had happened? What had happened to the Ye family?
Ye Futian was very scared. He was not even this scared when he jumped into the canyon on Mount Tianyao.
"Ye Futian!" Just then, someone called out to him. He turned around and saw a beautiful figure running towards him. Her beautiful body jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"You're still alive, you're still alive …" The girl's eyes were red, her tears dripping onto his clothes.
"Qingxue, what about my family? Do you know what happened to them?" Ye Futian helped the girl up. Feng Qingxue wiped away her tears. Her pretty face was slightly red. She lowered her head and said, "Uncle Ye and the others are fine. My father asked me to tell you that they moved away from the City of Qingzhou. He asked you not to worry about them."
"He didn't say where they went?" Ye Futian let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing had happened.
Feng Qingxue shook her head and said, "My father also asked me not to tell anyone. Uncle Ye and the others left quietly. He was afraid that you would be worried, so he asked him to tell you."
Ye Futian froze, then looked up at the sky and cursed, "Ye Baichuan, you bastard."
His eyes were red. As smart as he was, how could he not know that there was something wrong with his family? He and his godfather both had secrets. Now that the family had disappeared in the background of the beast tide, Ye Futian knew that it was to hide those secrets that no one knew.
From now on, there would be no Ye Clan in the City of Qingzhou.
The East Sea was vast and boundless. Where would he go to find them?
It was obvious that they did not want him to find them.
"Qingxue, how is the City of Qingzhou now? Did the people from the East Sea Prefecture leave?" Ye Futian asked. If Xia Fan had not left, then he had to be careful.
"Xia Fan and the others left, and so did the people of Heiyan City. Qingzhou Academy was greatly weakened. General Qin Shuai and the Dark Kylin Knighthood were destroyed by Xia Fan, the City Lord's Office, and the Murong Chamber of Commerce. The current City Lord is Murong Yunshan. Recently, there have been people coming to the City of Qingzhou to look for the ruins, but they have all returned empty-handed," Feng Qingxue said in one breath.
"General Qin Shuai was destroyed?" Ye Futian's heart trembled.
"Yes." Feng Qingxue nodded. Ye Futian's eyes were extremely cold. The protector of the City of Qingzhou, who had led the Dark Kylin Knighthood to fight against foreign enemies, had been destroyed by the vice chief of the East Sea Prefecture.
Those important people had absolute power and authority. They played with people's lives as they pleased. If it were not for Ye Futian's luck, he would have died on Mount Tianyao.
"Do you have any plans for the future? Do you want to stay at my house?" Feng Qingxue's voice was crisp and clear. She looked at Ye Futian expectantly.
Ye Futian looked at Feng Qingxue. Seeing his eyes, the girl's face immediately turned red.
"No, I might leave the City of Qingzhou," Ye Futian said. Feng Qingxue froze. Her heart skipped a beat. "Where are you going?"
"To do what I have to do," Ye Futian smiled. "Qingxue, it's time for me to go. You should go home too. Say goodbye to Uncle Feng for me. Take care of yourselves in the future."
With that, Ye Futian walked back to Hua Fengliu, carried him on his back, and left with Yu Sheng.
Feng Qingxue was still standing there, watching Ye Futian's back. Suddenly, she shouted, "Ye Futian!"
Ye Futian turned around to look at her.
"I like you," the girl said loudly, mustering her courage.
Ye Futian looked at the girl and a bright smile bloomed in his eyes. He said, "I knew it. Who wouldn't like someone like me? Don't miss me too much in the future."
With that, he turned around and walked away. Feng Qingxue's tears flowed down. She squatted on the ground and cried.
Ye Futian did not stop. He was afraid that his heart would soften and he would not be able to bear to leave. After all, Feng Qingxue was very pretty.
"Did you go when I wasn't here?" Hua Fengliu asked on Ye Futian's back.
"How could that be? I'll only take one out of the three thousand. I only like Demoness." Hua Fengliu rolled his eyes. "How did someone as shameless as you manage to trick my daughter?"
"Looks," Ye Futian said.
"…" Hua Fengliu was speechless.
"Master, when are you going to recover? I'm afraid people will misunderstand if I carry you all the time," Ye Futian whispered.
"If you don't want to carry me, just throw me in a corner," Hua Fengliu replied. In that battle, he had used up all his spiritual energy to regenerate his Guqin Spirit. It had caused irreversible damage and he could only barely stand.
"Father-in-law, I was wrong," Ye Futian quickly apologized. Hua Fengliu smiled with satisfaction.
"Where are we going now?" Hua Fengliu asked.
"To kill someone," Ye Futian replied.
…
In the sky above Qingzhou Academy, a Black Wind Condor circled around. Its sharp eyes were fixed on the Earth Pavilion of Qingzhou Academy.
The Black Wind Eagle did not seem to be able to find the person it was looking for. It continued to circle in the sky until a group of people walked out of the Earth Elemental Palace and headed towards a restaurant outside of Qingzhou Academy. Only then did the Black Wind Eagle fly away, not attracting the attention of the people below.
Murong Qiu had been very successful recently. Even though he had failed to go to Mount Tianyao, he had still built a good relationship with the vice chief of the East Sea Prefecture. This had made his status in the Murong Chamber of Commerce rise rapidly. He was already recognized as the next leader of the Murong Chamber of Commerce. His father had also been appointed as the City Lord of Qingzhou City. Now, the entire city was under his control.
Even though he knew that many people were unhappy with him, including many of his peers in Qingzhou Academy, so what? They still had to be polite to him.
There were many people in the lobby of the restaurant. Most of them were disciples of Qingzhou Academy. When they saw Murong Qiu and his group, many nodded in greeting. Murong Qiu seemed very satisfied. He smiled and found a place to sit down.
After the food and wine were served, the group began to chat.
"Junior Brother Murong is very talented. You entered the Glory Plane so quickly. In the future, you will definitely enter the Dharma Plane and then the Arcana Plane," a disciple of the Earth Pavilion complimented.
The first four planes of cultivation were Awakening, Glory, Dharma, and Arcana Plane.
In the Dharma Plane, one could become an elder in Qingzhou City. Even stronger ones could become Pavilion Lords. After all, the strongest cultivators in Qingzhou City were only at the peak of the Dharma Plane. In the past, Hua Fengliu was regarded as the strongest cultivator in Qingzhou City because he used to be in the Arcana Plane. In the entire East Sea Prefecture, he was one of the strongest cultivators.
"Of course, my brother will be in charge of Qingzhou City in the future. Of course, he will be the strongest person in the city," Murong Qing said with a smile.
"Right, when Junior Brother summons the wind and summons the rain, don't forget about us." Someone raised his cup and laughed. Murong Qiu smiled gently and drank with them. He looked forward, as if thinking about something.
"When it comes to women, I seem to be a failure," Murong Qiu said quietly, causing the atmosphere to freeze.
It was no secret that Murong Qiu liked Hua Jieyu, but Hua Jieyu ended up with Ye Futian. Later, Murong Qing introduced Feng Qingxue to Ye Futian. Everyone thought that Feng Qingxue would fall for him, but in the end, Feng Qingxue still seemed to miss Ye Futian.
"That bitch Feng Qingxue doesn't know what's good for her. She's not good enough for you. Brother, you don't have to mind."
"That's right, brother. Look at who you are now. In the future, you will be surrounded by beautiful women."
"Feng Qingxue was really blind. I already told her to stay away from Ye Futian, but then she got involved again. Now she's dead in the mouth of a demon beast, and you're already so powerful. I'm afraid she's going to regret it in the future," Murong Qing said.
"I hope he didn't die. That would be more interesting," Murong Qiu said coldly.
"Brother, you are right. If he didn't die, he would probably tremble in fear whenever he saw you." Murong Qing giggled. Then, she realized that the hotel had suddenly fallen silent. Many pairs of eyes were looking at them. Murong Qing frowned and looked outside. Then, she saw a handsome figure standing proudly at the entrance of the hotel's lobby.
"You are all right," Ye Futian said. The smile in the youth's eyes was frivolous and unruly!
