Ye Futian looked at the woman in the sky. She stared back at him.
My surname is Donghuang.
Ye Futian even felt that this sentence was not meant for Minister Zuo, but for him.
At that moment, an endless snowstorm swept over. Snowflakes floated down from the sky. An unparalleled coldness descended upon the world.
Everyone turned to look at the huge body that stood like a mountain. The Snow Ape stared at the sky. Then, the sky froze. With him at the center, the entire world froze.
"Child, look closely," a voice floated into Ye Futian's ears.
A voice floated into Ye Futian's ears. Then, he saw a shadow appear from the Snow Ape's body. It left its physical body and all the ice and snow in the world gathered to form a huge snow stick. The Snow Ape held it in its hand.
"Nine Heavenly Attacks."
The Snow Ape stood proudly in the sky. It was as if he was one with the world. At that moment, an unparalleled power gathered on the shadow. His body was so steady.
Finally, the Snow Ape moved. The first strike gathered the power of the world and smashed towards the sky. The sky seemed to be split open. The frozen world was cut in half.
The endless storm blocked everyone's vision except for Ye Futian. The Snow Ape was not attacking the enemy. Instead, it was teaching him.
Ye Futian used Freedom Meditation. Although he was sad, he knew that the Snow Ape was teaching him with his life. This staff technique seemed to have evolved from the battle technique created by Emperor Ye Qing. The Snow Ape was also demonstrating it to him.
After the first strike, the power did not weaken. On the contrary, it became stronger. When the snow staff danced again, it seemed to merge the power of the world contained in the first strike. It turned into a second strike that swept away everything.
Then came the third attack, the fourth …. The power of each attack increased exponentially. By the eighth attack, heaven and earth shook, the mountains quaked, and fissures opened up in the ground. The location of the illusory Snow Ape transformed into the most terrifying tempest in the world.
"The ninth strike." Another voice sounded in Ye Futian's ears. Then, he saw the Snow Ape fly up into the sky. Its snow staff swept out. In an instant, countless staff shadows appeared in the sky, flattening the heavens.
After that, Ye Futian could no longer see anything. Blinding light exploded in the sky, blocking everything. All of Mount Tianyao trembled, and all the demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground.
An invisible force slammed into Minister Zuo and Ye Futian, sending them flying far away. However, it was as if there was a force protecting Ye Futian. He did not receive any fatal injuries, but he still felt pain all over his body.
The storm lasted for a long time before it finally calmed down. Snow began to fall from Mount Tianyao. Ye Futian stood there in a daze. The illusion of the Snow Ape had disappeared. All that was left was the gigantic body of the Snow Ape. It was no longer alive, but its posture was still that of an indomitable spirit, looking down on the world.
Even in death, he had to stand.
In the valley behind him, Emperor Ye Qing's statue was undamaged. It was as if it had to die to protect Emperor Ye Qing's last statue.
Ye Futian stretched out his hand. A snowflake landed on his palm.
"Child, do not be sad. All of this was destined. I should have gone with my master a long time ago. It was just that I had to wait for someone. I'm honored to have waited for you, but it's a pity that I cannot see you rule the world with my own eyes."
There seemed to be one last strand of will left in the world. It turned into a voice that floated into Ye Futian's ears. A tear fell from the corner of Ye Futian's eye.
Was all of this arranged by fate? The Snow Ape had known the ending long ago, but he was still here to protect it.
The divine general in the sky walked towards Emperor Ye Qing's statue. He wanted to search for something, but he found nothing.
One of the silhouettes released a blazing light. The girl in the air said, "Leave his last statue behind."
The divine general's light was still there. It turned into a terrible light that descended upon Emperor Ye Qing's statue. In an instant, it was razed to the ground. The statue that the Snow Ape had protected with his life had finally fallen.
"Your Highness, you should not pity him," the divine general said to the girl as he retracted his light.
The girl glanced at him coldly, then turned around and walked away. The group of people followed her. When the girl left, her eyes looked down and landed on Ye Futian. Then, she looked away again, and her figure gradually disappeared into the sky.
After they left, Ye Futian's body also collapsed. Although he had been protected by the power before, the powerful tremors had injured even Minister Zuo, let alone him. Before, he had been holding on to his last breath and stood there, watching everything that had happened.
Minister Zuo coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. He could not calm down for a long time. Everything he had experienced today could not be described with words.
He did not even see what had happened. How did the Snow Ape die?
He walked to Ye Futian's side and looked at the youth's calm face. There was a trace of gratitude in his eyes. If Ye Futian had not stood in front of him, the Snow Ape would have killed him. He could feel the murderous intent.
But he was only a youth. How could he be so calm in the face of all this? Also, he did not kneel just now.
The girl in the sky had the surname Donghuang. Even the emperor of the Nandou Nation had to kneel before her. The difference in status was too great. But the youth's figure was as straight as a pine tree. It was not because he was scared out of his wits. It was more like his pride was carved into his bones.
At that moment, he even had the misconception that the young man before him should be as high and mighty as the young girl in the sky.
Minister Zuo's eyes flashed. Then he sat beside Ye Futian. Behind him, his life spirit appeared. It was a natal chart.
Minister Zuo of the Nandou Nation was an extremely rare astrologer. This was a secret that very few people knew. Astrologers were usually short-lived and they knew too much.
The light of the Life Disc enveloped Ye Futian. Then, the gears on the Life Disc spun and sped up.
"What's going on?" Minister Zuo's expression changed. He looked at the uncontrollable natal chart in shock. It spun madly and kept making noises. After a long time, it finally slowed down.
Minister Zuo stared fixedly at the natal chart. The needle spun and finally pointed to the top of the chart. It was as if it was pointing at the sky.
"Ugh." Minister Zuo fell to the ground. He looked at the Fate Chart in front of him and his heart twitched.
This was impossible. How was this possible?
Shouldn't it be the girl in the sky? Her surname was Donghuang.
Why did Ye Futian have such a fate?
In that case, who was the person that the divination indicated that he would meet?
Minister Zuo did not seem to believe it. He continued to use the natal chart. After many attempts, sweat broke out on his face. He sat beside Ye Futian and stared blankly at the youth lying on the ground.
Would the fate of the Nandou Nation change because of this youth?
…
When Ye Futian woke up, he saw Minister Zuo sitting beside him. Smiling at him, he said, "You're awake."
"Senior," Ye Futian called and sat up.
"You saved my life. You don't have to call me senior. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Zuo," Minister Zuo said, smiling. Minister Zuo said with a smile. In his heart, he felt ashamed. As the Minister of State, he had taken advantage of this young man. Perhaps the young man didn't even realize it.
"Uncle Zuo." Ye Futian was not pretentious. Being close to Minister Zuo was good for him when he returned to Donghai City.
"Yes." Minister Zuo nodded. "How are your injuries?"
"They're fine." Ye Futian turned to look at the statue-like body. He felt sad.
"Uncle Zuo, I want to stay here for a few days. You can go back first," Ye Futian said. Minister Zuo shook his head. "The demons have been chased away but they might come back at any time. It's too dangerous for you to stay. I'll go with you."
"But …" Ye Futian wanted to say something but Minister Zuo looked at him and said, "You're already calling me Uncle Zuo. There's no need to be so formal. Do whatever you want to do. I'll just treat it as cultivating here."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded and did not say anything else. He stood up and walked towards the Snow Ape. He stopped in front of the ape and maintained his standing posture. His eyes were open, looking up at the sky.
"Senior, I don't have the ability to avenge you right now. I'll stay here with you for a while." Ye Futian's voice was sad. Then he sat down under the Snow Ape. The Guqin Spirit appeared and descended before him. Ye Futian played the guqin. The sad music spread as if it was saying goodbye.
After the song, Ye Futian began cultivating again. The Snow Ape had taught him the Nine Heavenly Attacks before he died. Cultivating before the Snow Ape was a way to comfort his spirit.
Days passed. Before he knew it, several months had passed.
The Nine Heavenly Attacks were extremely difficult to cultivate. Ye Futian had mastered the third strike. Both his martial arts and sorcery cultivation had broken through to the Five-star Glory Plane.
Today, Ye Futian knelt before the Snow Ape's body and kowtowed three times. Then he stood up and left without looking back.
"Uncle Zuo, let's go back," Ye Futian said to Minister Zuo, who was cultivating with his eyes closed.
Minister Zuo opened his eyes and nodded. "Okay."
With that, he took Ye Futian and flew out of Mount Tianyao. These days, Ye Futian had been acting strangely but Minister Zuo didn't ask anything.
Outside of Mount Tianyao was the edge of Qingzhou Academy. Minister Zuo's people were waiting there. Seeing Minister Zuo return, they all heaved a sigh of relief and went up to greet him.
"Where's the princess?" Minister Zuo asked.
"Minister Zuo didn't come out. The princess and the others are staying at Qingzhou Academy," someone said.
"That girl must have turned Qingzhou Academy upside down again," Minister Zuo said indifferently. Then he stepped out and the group headed towards Qingzhou Academy.
The girl in red was the princess of the Nandou Nation. She was currently living in the Palace of Martial Arts.
There were quite a few people at her place. When Ye Futian came in, he saw Qin Yi. He was surprised and called out, "Senior Sister."
"Futian." Qin Yi was surprised to see Ye Futian.
"I was just about to go find you. Why are you here?" Ye Futian asked. Hearing his words, Qin Yi lowered her head slightly.
"Master, you're back. The servant girls here don't know how to take care of people at all. We can finally go back." At this time, the girl walked over. Beside her were many important people of the Palace of Martial Arts.
When they saw Ye Futian, they were all stunned. Ye Futian's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Servant girls?
