The next morning, outside the Holy Zhi Palace, there was a huge crowd of strong cultivators.
Influential figures from all over the Barren State had gathered. On both sides of the sky stairwell, many strong cultivators from the Holy Zhi Palace had also arrived.
At the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace, there was an endless number of people. Today was the day of the final battle. The geniuses of the nine Holy Roads would clash at the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace and fight all the way to the final battle.
This year, who would be the most eye-catching?
Countless people were discussing. There were already many familiar names. However, some people were also wondering if it would be like the last time, where the winner of the final battle would be a dark horse.
Ye Futian had been a dark horse that year. He'd crushed the second son of the White Cloud City, Bai Ze, defeated Huang Jiuge in the final battle and won first place amidst countless people's shock. He'd entered the Holy Zhi Palace and become Sage Douzhan's personal disciple.
Now it was a new batch. Ye Futian, who'd entered the Holy Zhi Palace three years ago, was unknown now. He'd been a grade nine noble back then. Now, he should be a mid-level noble, right?
Among the crowd, Divine Sky City's Starry School Chief Chen Yuan had also arrived. He'd come to see how Ye Futian's cultivation had progressed in the past three years and also to see if any Starry School disciples could enter the Holy Zhi Palace again.
Long Mu, Gu Yunxi, and the others had participated in the selection this time and entered the Holy Road. Three years ago, they'd followed Ye Futian.
Now, they were all grade seven nobles. They'd fought their way out of the Holy Road and arrived here.
"Long Mu, Yunxi, how confident are you this time?" Chen Yuan asked Long Mu and the others beside him. Long Mu was the descendant of his disciple, Long Yitian, and Chen Yuan had high hopes for him. It was just that Ye Futian had appeared in the Starry School a few years ago, and all the other disciples paled in comparison to him.
After the last trip to the Holy Road, Long Mu seemed to have been stimulated. He cultivated even harder and improved greatly.
"I'll do my best," Long Mu said softly. He gazed at the vast battlefield before him. Three years ago, he'd seen Ye Futian win first place with his own eyes. He knew he couldn't do it, but he'd try his best to see his back.
"Grandpa Chen, why don't you ask me?" A clear and melodious voice rang out. Chen Yuan turned his gaze and looked at a young and beautiful girl beside Long Mu. A doting smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "With your plane, you're just here to join in the fun."
"Mother, Grandpa Chen is looking down on us." The young girl complained to the beautiful woman beside her.
"Is your Grandpa Chen wrong?" Madame Long said with a smile. It turned out that the girl who was around eighteen years old was the grown-up Long Ling 'er. She was now slender and elegant, brimming with the aura of youth.
"You guys only know how to bully me. Big Brother Futian treats me the best." Thinking of Ye Futian, Long Ling'er smiled brightly and said, "Mother, do you think Brother Futian will recognize me?"
"Maybe not." Madame Long found it funny.
"How is that possible?" Long Ling 'er looked at Madame Long with disgust and said, "I don't believe you. Although you've become prettier, you're still easy to recognize."
"Yes, you're right." Madame Long shook her head and smiled helplessly. This girl was too troublesome.
However, she was relieved that the girl could walk out of the Holy Road safely. Although Long Ling 'er was also in the Upper Arcana Plane, Long Mu had experienced the dangers of the Holy Road. Last time, Ye Futian had been there, but this time, Long Mu and Gu Yunxi had taken care of her. Fortunately, nothing had happened. Otherwise, she would have regretted agreeing to let the girl challenge the Holy Road.
On the sky stairwell, Zhuge Mingyue had already arrived. She was still standing at the same position as last year.
This year, the Zhuge Family would still have people participating in the selection, and their talents were still outstanding. Of course, she was not here for that. She came to the Holy Zhi Palace for two reasons. Firstly, she wanted to go out and see Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.
After all, they had already cultivated in the Holy Zhi Palace for three years.
"Senior Sister, what plane do you think Little Brother is at now?" Beitang Xing 'er stood beside Zhuge Mingyue and asked.
"Just ask him when he comes," Zhuge Mingyue said with a smile.
"Second Senior Sister." A voice came from afar. Zhuge Mingyue looked up at the Holy Zhi Palace and saw a group of people flashing over. It was Ye Futian and the others.
Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu walked over hand in hand. Yi Xiaoshi, Yu Sheng, and Loulan Xue were behind them.
Soon, Ye Futian arrived. Hua Jieyu also smiled and called out, "Senior Sister."
"Seems like you're doing well in the Holy Zhi Palace." Zhuge Mingyue smiled at the two. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were both in a good mood.
"It's alright. I just miss Second Senior Sister a lot," Ye Futian said affectionately.
"Stop acting in front of me. With Jieyu here, would you still remember Second Senior Sister?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at him with a half-smile. "I haven't seen you visit Second Senior Sister in three years."
"Senior Sister, I've been busy cultivating. I want to protect Second Senior Sister sooner." Ye Futian smiled shakily.
"What plane are you in now? Can you protect Second Senior Sister?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
"The pinnacle of Grade Four Noble. I believe it won't be long before you break into the upper Noble Plane," Ye Futian said.
"Not bad." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and looked at Hua Jieyu. "Where's Jieyu?"
"Senior Sister, I'm in the same plane as him," Hua Jieyu said.
"Xiaoshi, why are you hiding? Don't you recognize me?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at Yi Xiaoshi and asked, "What plane are you in?"
"Senior Sister, I'm waiting for Little Brother to report first. I'm in the Grade Three Noble Plane," Yi Xiaoshi said.
"Little Brother is almost catching up to you. How did you cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace?" Zhuge Mingyue smiled at him.
"Isn't it a matter of talent? I'm very hardworking in the Holy Zhi Palace. If you don't believe me, you can ask Little Brother." Yi Xiaoshi looked at Ye Futian and winked.
"Yes, Seventh Brother is quite hardworking." Ye Futian nodded. Yi Xiaoshi heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhuge Mingyue looked at the two of them with a faint smile. The fatty was so scared that his heart was pounding. Was Senior Sister suspecting that he was slacking off?
"Senior Sister, do you have any news of Third Brother?" Ye Futian asked.
"He's dead." The smile on Zhuge Mingyue's face disappeared. Ye Futian blinked and saw Beitang Xing 'er shaking her head at him.
Ye Futian was speechless. What a huge grudge.
Did Third Brother really disappear for three or four years?
Moreover, if Third Brother never looked for Second Sister after leaving the Eastern Barren Territory, how many years had it been?
How could there not be a grudge?
"Third Brother must be training crazily. Once he succeeds, he will be able to step into the Zhuge Family. Who knows, it might be dangerous outside," Ye Futian said weakly. As he spoke, he secretly looked at Second Sister's expression.
As expected, Zhuge Mingyue's expression softened a little. She said in a low voice, "Don't worry about him. Cultivate well. Don't be like Xue Ye and Luo Fan."
"What happened to Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother?" Ye Futian asked.
"Don't mention it," Zhuge Mingyue said. Ye Futian was even more confused. Did the two brothers cause trouble?
"Futian." A voice was heard from below. Ye Futian looked down and saw Chen Yuan and the others.
"Senior Sister, I'll pay a visit to Chief Chen. Jieyu will stay here with you," Ye Futian said. Zhuge Mingyue nodded and Ye Futian walked out. Loulan Xue followed him. Behind Chen Yuan, she saw a figure that she could not be more familiar with.
"Chief Chen, Madam." Ye Futian walked down and smiled. "Yunxi, you also participated in the Holy Zhi Palace's selection?"
"Yes." Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded. She looked at Ye Futian and smiled brightly. "Long time no see."
"Long time no see." Ye Futian smiled. Then, he looked at the young and beautiful figure beside him. He looked her up and down and asked, "Who is this?"
"You really can't recognize me?" Long Ling 'er blinked. Her clear eyes were a little nervous.
Pfft! Ye Futian smiled and knocked on Long Ling 'er's head. "Little girl, you've grown up. You've become prettier."
"Ah … You lied to me on purpose." Long Ling 'er jumped up and rushed forward to hug Ye Futian's arm. "Big brother Futian, did you miss me?"
"Hey, you're an adult now. Don't you have any shame?" Ye Futian looked at Long Ling 'er speechlessly. This girl was now 18 years old. She was already a slender and beautiful young girl.
"Ling 'er, you're still messing around when you've grown up," Madame Long said, glaring at Long Ling' er.
"This is my brother. What does it have to do with him?" Long Ling 'er said nonchalantly. "Big brother Futian, don't you think so?"
"That seems to make sense." Ye Futian smiled bitterly and shook his head. This girl used to be a little devil. Now that she's grown up, she's probably something else.
"Futian, someone came to the Starry School to find you, so I brought her along." Chen Yuan looked at the figure behind him. It was also a very beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament. At this time, Loulan Xue had already walked in front of her.
This beautiful woman was the Empress of Loulan.
"Empress," Ye Futian walked up and called.
"Ye Futian, come with me. I have something to say to you," the Empress said and then turned to leave. Ye Futian followed her and so did Loulan Xue.
The Empress led them all the way to a place far away from the crowd. Then she turned and looked at Ye Futian coldly.
"Empress, why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Futian asked.
"How is my daughter not good enough for you?"
"What do you mean, Empress?" Ye Futian asked.
"Although you have a girlfriend, when I sent her to Book Mountain, I said that even if you took her in as a concubine, I would accept it. Now that she's been by your side for so many years, why is she still a virgin? Are you really ordering her around like a servant? Must you humiliate her like this? " The Empress said coldly. She was the Empress of Loulan and Loulan Xue was also a princess. She had offered herself as a concubine but Ye Futian actually didn't like her. If this wasn't humiliation, then what was?
Ye Futian looked at the Empress and was speechless. How could a mother be like this?
Thinking of this, he was also displeased. "Back then, you were the one who insisted on sending Loulan to Book Mountain. Am I the one who wronged her?"
Hearing Ye Futian's words, the Empress was even angrier. Her coldness enveloped Ye Futian.
"Don't be angry. If we really fight, you really aren't my match," Ye Futian said coldly. Who didn't have a temper?
"You …" The Empress was enraged. An ice storm descended and a terrifying ice spear pierced towards Ye Futian's body.
Ye Futian stood there quietly, letting the ice spear stab into his body. He didn't move. His body was extremely strong now. Even if the Empress was a Grade Two Noble, the Nobles of Loulan were far weaker than the Nobles of the Holy Zhi Palace, even if she was the Empress.
"If you attack again, I won't go easy on you," Ye Futian said indifferently. The Empress was so angry that she trembled and her chest heaved. This bastard.
"Loulan Xue, go back with me." The Empress was so angry that she looked at Loulan Xue. "I don't want to serve you anymore."
Loulan Xue looked at her mother and shook her head.
"What do you mean?" The Empress looked at her and said, "He humiliated you like this and you still want to follow him? You're the princess of Loulan. He really treats you like a servant and you still want to stick to him? "
"Mother, I did it willingly. It has nothing to do with him," Loulan Xue said softly.
The Empress looked at her and was speechless. She said coldly, "I won't have a useless daughter like you in the future."
With that, she really turned and left. Loulan Xue chased after her but the Empress waved her hand. "Don't chase after him. Just follow him."
Loulan Xue stopped and stood where she was. Her eyes were slightly wet.
The Empress' figure flashed and disappeared quickly. Her eyes were also wet.
She had gone to Book Mountain to find out about Ye Futian and found out about the Divine Sky City Starry School. Then she went there and came all the way to the Holy Zhi Palace. She naturally knew about Ye Futian's achievements in these years.
She couldn't bear to leave her daughter, but seeing Ye Futian's achievements, she knew that he would only go further and higher.
