Gu Dongliu stared at Kong Yao. Did Zhisheng Cliffs not even want to let his little brother go?
"He's already left the Barren State," Gu Dongliu said coldly. "I didn't bring the relic with me this time. Now that Zhan Xiao is dead, the matter of killing the sages is over. You can push all the blame onto me. So now, what does Zhisheng Cliffs want, the relic or the man?"
Kong Yao looked at him and said, "Gu Dongliu, if you had gone to Zhisheng Cliffs earlier, you might have been able to become the Son of Zhisheng Cliffs, and you wouldn't have to stand against them. Now, your threats are useless. I want the relic and the man.
"You were the one who started this feud all those years ago. However, you two shared a deep bond. Ye Futian intervened and stirred up a storm, instigating the Zhuge family, Taihang Mountain, Alchemy City, and Tingxue House to spare no expense in order to keep you alive. Since that is the case, since you have already walked right into the trap, no matter where Ye Futian goes, as long as you are around, where can he go?"
"As for the relic, you'll have to talk about it when we bring you back to Zhisheng Cliffs," Kong Yao said coldly. His words made Gu Dongliu's eyes fill with murderous intent.
"Kong Yao, you're ranked ninth on the Earth Sage Ranking of the Nine States. You're the first person below the Saint Plane in Yu State. Don't you feel guilty for what you've done?"
Gu Dongliu stared at him and said. Kong Yao said firmly. Gu Dongliu didn't say anything more. He just hoped that his junior brother had really left.
Soon, the Barren State spread the news that Gu Dongliu had been taken to the Holy Zhi Palace and handed over to Zhisheng Cliffs.
The Holy Zhi Palace then released news that Ye Futian had returned to the Holy Zhi Palace to end the conflict. Otherwise, the Zhuge family, Taihang Mountain, and Tingxue House would all be implicated.
Obviously, the Holy Zhi Palace still didn't want Zhisheng Cliffs to destroy the Zhuge family, Taihang Mountain, and other forces. But Ye Futian had to be taken down. There was no doubt about it. Not only Zhisheng Cliffs, but the Holy Zhi Palace also didn't want to let him go.
Countless people in the Barren State sighed. The Holy Zhi Palace had gotten involved, and the situation had changed in an instant. Now, they heard that Ye Futian had escaped. He wasn't in Crouching Dragon Mountain or Taihang Mountain. No one knew where he was, and no one knew if he would return.
However, many people guessed that Ye Futian would not return this time.
After all, there was no turning back. If they were in Ye Futian's shoes, they would rather give up some things to protect themselves. With their talents, there would still be a chance for revenge in the future.
…
The eastern side of Taihang Mountain was close to the eastern region of the Barren State.
The Zhaixing House was located in this area.
At that moment, somewhere in the Zhaixing House, Ye Futian finally woke up. He opened his eyes, still feeling a little tired. That battle had taken a lot out of him. He had pushed the will of the emperor to the limit, and even the power in his Life Palace had been ignited. The power in his body was almost completely burned away, and there was not a shred of it left. He had been relying on the self-recovery of his Life Spirit to gradually recover some of his vitality and wake up, but he was still extremely weak.
"Third Brother," Ye Futian called after waking up. He sat up and saw Hua Jieyu sitting beside him.
"Jieyu, where are we?" Ye Futian asked.
"Star-Seizing House." Hua Jieyu said, "That day, we left and headed east. We passed by the territory of the Zhaixing House and happened to meet the chief of the Zhaixing House. He told us to come to the Zhaixing House."
"The Zhaixing House." A strange look flashed across Ye Futian's face. Mu Chuan, the chief of the Zhaixing House, was actually going to help him? Back then, his Polearm of Divine Destruction had been taken from here. Hadn't Mu Chuan always disliked him and often bickered with Headmaster Chen Yuan?
"Where's Third Brother?" Ye Futian asked.
"Third Brother should have returned to Crouching Dragon Mountain. He said that nothing would happen and told us to leave," Hua Jieyu said softly.
"Jieyu, why do you have to lie to yourself?" Ye Futian looked at her and said. Nothing would happen?
He had killed Zhan Xiao, and Third Brother had knocked him out and told Hua Jieyu to take him away. There was no need to explain why.
Third Brother wanted to take responsibility for this matter and let them go far away.
Hua Jieyu lowered her head. Sometimes, it was true that she lied to herself. It was only natural that she could not remain calm.
"How is Yu Sheng?" Ye Futian looked very calm.
"Yu Sheng has been cultivating to recover from his injuries these days," Hua Jieyu said. Yu Sheng had used up as much as he had when he turned into a demon.
The battle at Taihang Mountain could be said to have been a narrow escape.
"Is there any news of Senior Xu Shang?" Ye Futian asked again. He had too many things to worry about and too many people to worry about.
"You're already in such a state and you're still thinking about others," a voice said. The chief of the Zhaixing House, Mu Chuan, walked in. Seeing Ye Futian, he said, "Don't worry, Xu Shang is not dead. Although he was seriously injured, he also stabbed the City Lord of White Cloud City. The two of them left after a truce."
Ye Futian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Senior. But why did you save me?"
"Save you?" Mu Chuan said coldly, "I was just worried about the treasure of the Zhaixing House. When will you return the Polearm of Divine Destruction to us?"
"Mu Chuan, do you have any shame?" Someone scolded. Then Ye Futian saw Chen Yuan walk in and stare at Mu Chuan. "The Polearm of Divine Destruction was Ye Futian's a long time ago. You still want it back?"
"Chief." Ye Futian was a little surprised. He did not expect the Chief to be at the Zhaixing House.
"Futian, rest well. When you've recovered, I'll send you out of the Barren State." Chen Yuan looked at Ye Futian and said, "As for the Barren State, you don't have to worry about it."
"Leave the Barren State?" Ye Futian muttered to himself. The Barren State was already in such a state. How could he leave?
"Chief, tell me the truth. What's the situation in the Barren State now? Have the cultivators from Zhisheng Cliffs arrived after Zhan Xiao's death? How is my Third Brother doing? And news from Crouching Dragon Mountain and Taihang Mountain? "Ye Futian asked.
"You want to hear the truth?" Chen Yuan stared at Ye Futian. The entire Barren State knew about it now. If Ye Futian wanted to find out, there was no way he could hide it.
"Of course." Ye Futian nodded.
"After your Third Brother killed Zhan Xiao, the cultivators from Zhisheng Cliffs came and went straight to the Holy Zhi Palace. After that, the Holy Zhi Palace went to Crouching Dragon Mountain and other major forces. In the end, your Third Brother went to the Holy Zhi Palace himself, wanting to settle the matter." Chen Yuan continued, "However, the Holy Zhi Palace and Zhisheng Cliffs not only want your Third Brother, they also want you."
Ye Futian fell silent after hearing this. His Third Brother wanted to take responsibility for the matter alone, but Zhisheng Cliffs and the Holy Zhi Palace were still unwilling to let him go.
"I killed Zhan Xiao," Ye Futian said.
Chen Yuan and Mu Chuan's hearts trembled when they heard this, especially Chen Yuan. He knew some of Ye Futian's secrets. As such, Chen Yuan believed Ye Futian when he said that he killed Zhan Xiao. Even so, the news was still shocking.
Ye Futian was a noble, while Zhan Xiao was the Son of Zhisheng Cliffs and an upper-level sage. Ye Futian killed Zhan Xiao. What kind of monster was that?
"That's impossible." Mu Chuan could not believe it was true.
"After that battle, Third Brother knocked me unconscious and had Jieyu take me away. He then went to the Holy Zhi Palace alone. Third Brother took responsibility for it on my behalf." Ye Futian did not care whether Mu Chuan believed him or not.
"Since your Third Brother went to such lengths to protect you, you can't just walk right into the trap," Chen Yuan said, looking at Ye Futian. Chen Yuan looked at Ye Futian and said. With Ye Futian's astonishing talent, he should not have died like this. His future was not just the Barren State, but the Nine States, and even places that were far beyond his reach.
Ye Futian looked at Chen Yuan. He naturally understood how the College Chief felt, but if he just left like this, how would he be able to live with his current state of mind?
In the future, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Mu Chuan, who was beside him, listened to their conversation and knew that Ye Futian was not lying. Chen Yuan obviously believed what he said, which meant that Ye Futian still had methods that few people knew of that allowed him to cross planes.
Moreover, if he was able to kill Zhan Xiao, did that mean that Ye Futian had matured the power of rules?
"I'll go see Yusheng," Ye Futian said. He then stood up and said to Mu Chuan, "Senior, if I don't die, I will return the Polearm of Divine Destruction to you when the Polearm of Divine Destruction is no longer of any use to me."
Mu Chuan's heart trembled. With Ye Futian's talent, there would indeed be a day when the Polearm of Divine Destruction would be useless to him. This was not a lie. The Polearm of Divine Destruction was only a ritual implement used by a saint. If Ye Futian were to become a saint, he would not have needed this ritual implement.
Ye Futian left and went to see Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan. They were doing well in the Zhaixing House. It was obvious that while the Chief of the Zhaixing House, Mu Chuan, was unforgiving with his words, he treated them well. Otherwise, he would not have sent College Chief Chen Yuan here and would have directly informed Zhisheng Cliffs or the Holy Zhi Palace.
Many times, one did not need to look at what others said, but at what they did.
At the top of the Zhaixing House, where he cultivated, Ye Futian sat cross-legged. The wind blew past him, and he closed his eyes slightly. His spiritual will melted into the wind, into his surroundings. With just a thought, he could freeze the entire space.
"Rules. So this is the power of rules?" Ye Futian murmured. The wind blew past him, and the gentle breeze suddenly became like the sharpest blade, tearing the space apart.
Mastery of one method led to mastery of all methods.
Ye Futian had already stepped into this realm, and he had already comprehended extremely high-level and mature rules. The rules of space elemental power meant that the simplest of the rules posed no obstacle to him, and he could easily comprehend them.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the strength of his Spiritual Energy to break through, and he would become a true sage.
In reality, he was not much different from a sage now.
After a few days, Ye Futian's essence, spirit, and spirit had recovered. The power in his body was more abundant than before, and he could feel that he was much stronger than before.
For the past few days, he had been cultivating at the top of the Zhaixing House. He did not sleep or rest at night, and he did not even speak much. Everyone could feel his state of mind, and no one disturbed him.
At this time, they were very conflicted. They hoped that Ye Futian would choose to leave, but if he did so, they would be disappointed!
