Although the influence of the Nether Sword Mound in the Eastern State was far less than that of the Nine State Forum, there were more and more rumors about the Nether Sword Mound as time passed.
There were even rumors that the Chess Saint had not passed away but was instead trapped in the forbidden Nether Sword Mound.
There were also rumors that the Nether Sword Mound was the burial place of the Nether Sword Saint, the number one swordsman of the Nine States, named by Emperor Xia himself.
Suddenly, the storm was brewing again.
At the end of Year 10011 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, the bordering area of the Eastern State, Summer State, Qi State, and Feng State was a vast barren area. There were many mountains and few people here.
The bordering area of the four states was ungoverned. Most of the cultivators here were not very strong. Of course, there were some hermits who were exceptions.
Before leaving the borders of the Eastern State, there was a quiet and secluded village surrounded by mountains. This was the Tombkeeper Village that was rarely known to the outside world.
Tombkeeper Village was isolated from the world and had almost no contact with the outside world. As such, not many cultivators from holy lands had heard of it, let alone ordinary people. In the vast Nine States, a place like Tombkeeper Village was like a speck of dust in a painting of mountains and rivers. No one would pay attention to it at all.
But now, this isolated village was visited by people from time to time. However, nothing happened after they came, as if they were just passing by.
At this time, outside the village, a group of people came through the air. The person in the lead was a handsome young man dressed in white. It was Ye Futian and his group from Huatian City.
After leaving Xihua Sacred Mountain that day, the old man had left him a map and let him choose whether or not to come to the village. After Ye Futian sent some people from the Barren State back, he brought the people who had left the Barren State and Zhuge Qingfeng here.
"So peaceful." Ye Futian looked down. There were no tall buildings or ancient temples. They were all simple houses made of stone, scattered in a picturesque manner.
The village was not small. There were more than a thousand families. It was more like a small town. Used to the bustle of the city, Ye Futian rarely experienced such peace.
"Let's go down," Ye Futian said. The group of people landed on the path paved with gravel and continued forward.
The villagers would occasionally poke their heads out to look at them, but they acted as if they did not see them and went back to their own business. However, Ye Futian could sense that there were already people running around in the dark, probably to inform the villagers.
After all, their lineup was not small, and there were quite a few of them.
"Someone else has come. It seems like the village is not peaceful anymore." Ye Futian looked at him and asked, "Sir, we're here to see the Village Chief. Where does he live?"
"Why are you looking for the Village Chief?" The old man raised his head and looked at Ye Futian cautiously.
"The chief invited us to the village as guests," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye?" the old man asked. Obviously, he knew who he was.
"Junior Ye Futian." Ye Futian cupped his hands in greeting.
"Alright." The old man stroked his goatee, then stood up with his back ramrod straight. His cloudy eyes seemed to have regained some spirit, containing a divine light. His entire temperament seemed to have changed in an instant. This caused Ye Futian and the others to all have a look of wonder on their faces.
The concealment method of his aura was quite impressive, and it was very difficult to detect. Earlier, the other party looked like an ordinary old man, but now, it was completely different.
"Young Master Ye, please." The old man stretched out his hand to show the way.
"Sir, please." Ye Futian nodded. Then, the old man led the way into the village.
Many people came out and looked at Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and the others. They all seemed to be curious.
A few months ago, the old Village Chief had taken Yaya out for a trip. They all knew about this news.
The Village Chief had said that there would be guests.
Now, the guests had arrived.
In the open space in front of them, a group of people walked towards Ye Futian's group. Walking at the front was a girl around 15 years old. She looked majestic and stared at Ye Futian's group.
This made Ye Futian reveal a strange expression. He stopped in his tracks and watched Yaya walk towards them with a group of people.
The people in front of them were dressed very simply. Some were even shirtless, and some were wearing animal skins. As they walked forward, they faintly surrounded Ye Futian's group.
"Yaya, who bullied you?" Beside Yaya, a strong young man wearing an animal skin coat glanced at Ye Futian's group and asked.
"Him." Yaya pointed at Yu Sheng, then at Ye Futian, and said, "And him. He's not a good person either."
"…" Ye Futian's face darkened. He looked at the girl speechlessly. She's telling on me?
Is she going to gang up on us?
It seems that this girl is very arrogant in her hometown.
"You two, get out here."
At that moment, a burly young man walked out from behind Yaya. He was shirtless, and his body was full of muscles, filled with a sense of wild power.
Ye Futian felt the wild aura from the man's body, which was affecting the power of heaven and earth around him. A strange look appeared in his eyes.
It seems that the villagers of Tombkeeper Village are not simple.
"Bang."
A figure stepped out. It was Yuan Zhan. A wild aura burst from his body as well, and golden light flowed over his body.
"A demon ape?" The other party took a look at Yuan Zhan and roared. A huge black shadow appeared behind him. It was a huge Kui Ox. Wind and thunder danced in their surroundings, and an even wilder aura was unleashed. The other party then stepped towards Yuan Zhan, kicking up dust on the ground and causing the ground to tremble. He charged straight at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan also stepped forward and rushed at the man. Neither of them used any tricks, but simply burst with their wild power and collided with each other.
Bang … With a loud sound, the moment the two collided, a wild aura raged. Cracks appeared on the ground, and houses in the distance collapsed. A demonic wind swept around.
Yuan Zhan and the shirtless young man both took a few steps back at the same time, rubbing against the ground.
"Brother Daniu," Yaya called out.
"I'm fine." The shirtless man steadied himself and shook his head at Yaya.
A dazzling golden light flashed in Yuan Zhan's eyes. The man's physical strength was not inferior to his. This guy had such brute strength.
Ye Futian also had a strange expression. Although Yuan Zhan did not make it to the top ten of the Nine State Forum, he still made it to the top. Even if he did not use any combat methods and only relied on his own strength, the power of the Golden Apes was still outstanding. His opponent was able to fight Yuan Zhan with his own strength, and it was obvious that he also had brute strength.
Was any random young man in the village that strong?
And Brother Daniu?
Yaya?
What kind of names are these? Who came up with them? Why are they so willful?
At that moment, Ye Futian looked around. He felt that there were many people spying on the situation here with their consciousness. They were probably other villagers of the village.
The people of this village are not to be underestimated.
"Little girl, who taught you to come back and complain when you can't win?" Ye Futian looked at Yaya and said with a smile.
Yaya looked at Ye Futian with hatred, then pointed at Yu Sheng and said, "You, come out. Let's fight again. Last time doesn't count."
Yu Sheng looked at Yaya with disdain, then a strong aura emanated from his body. Suddenly, a pressure of the Sage Plane bloomed, causing Yaya's expression to change.
"If I hit you again, I'm afraid you'll cry," Ye Futian said with disdain. This little brat is too arrogant.
After the Nine State Forum, the participants of the Barren State had all learned something. Yu Sheng fought the most, and his understanding was the deepest. Not long after the Nine State Forum ended, he broke into the Sage Plane.
Now, Yu Sheng was already a figure of the Sage Plane.
"You …" Yaya pointed at Ye Futian and gritted her teeth. "Then I'll fight with you."
"What if you lose?" Ye Futian looked at Yaya and said. This girl seemed to be very stubborn, and he had to teach her a lesson.
"I'll take you to see the Village Chief," Yaya said.
"That's not enough. If you lose, you have to call me brother when you see me." Ye Futian smiled.
Yaya stared at Ye Futian.
"If you don't dare, then forget it." Ye Futian said, "Take us to see the Village Chief."
"Alright, then if you lose, you have to listen to my orders from now on." Yaya gritted her teeth and said. She would definitely torture these two arrogant guys.
"Alright, you're willing. Don't say that I'm bullying a little brat." Ye Futian smiled and walked out. He did not really want to fight, but he felt that this little girl was quite interesting.
Yaya stared at Ye Futian, and a powerful aura burst out. Suddenly, there seemed to be endless Sword Will in the air. Yaya herself seemed to be the sharpest sword. Her eyes looked at Ye Futian, and suddenly, Ye Futian also saw that terrifying scene. It was as if a blood-colored sword was cutting at his spiritual will.
Ye Futian's eyes sharpened all of a sudden, turning into a terrifying storm that seemed to want to devour that terrifying Sword Will. Yaya's body flashed and disappeared. Ye Futian only felt a strong sense of danger descend upon him, as if endless Sword Will fell upon his body.
With a thought, Space-freezing Rules bloomed, and the flow of the entire space seemed to slow down. Yaya's figure suddenly appeared in front of him and pointed at him. It was as if all the Sword Will of the heavens fell at the same time, directly crossing the void.
But the space seemed to be frozen. Around Ye Futian's body, there was an extremely powerful power of Starry Rules. When the Sword Will fell, it actually burst with extremely dazzling light. At the same time, Yaya also felt an extremely strong pressure falling on her body, making it difficult for her to move.
An extremely sharp blood-colored Sword Will flashed in Yaya's eyes. Suddenly, the monstrous Sword Will seemed to break through the defense, tearing everything apart, and headed for Ye Futian.
Between heaven and earth, endless sharp swords fell like the Sword Matrix of All Heavens.
Feeling this scene, Ye Futian stretched out both his hands, and suddenly, with his body as the center, an even more powerful force appeared, turning into an absolute Starry Domain. The Sword Matrix of All Heavens fell, as if it was blasted on the starry light screen, unable to break through. Inside, thick purple-gold Thunder Vines stretched out, like arms, smashing towards Yaya's body.
In an instant, Yaya's body was directly caught. She shouted angrily, and an even stronger Sword Will burst, wanting to shatter it, but the power of the thunder directly invaded her body, causing her strength to disappear bit by bit, and she was tightly bound in mid-air.
"Girl, although your attack power is strong, after all, you have not entered the Sage Plane, and the rule power you use is inferior to mine. Moreover, I am proficient in all kinds of spells, multiple rules, and can use many abilities in a single thought. There is no way you can win against me," Ye Futian looked at Yaya and said. The girl was still resisting, very stubborn.
"Boom." At this moment, the ground trembled, and an extremely violent force burst out. The young man in the animal skin coat who had been standing beside Yaya rushed out, stepping towards Ye Futian at an extremely fast speed.
With a loud roar, an incomparably huge beast appeared in the sky. It was the ferocious beast "Hou", also known as the Hou of Heaven.
The wind raged, and the storm of destruction swept through the space. Ye Futian only felt that his Spiritual Will was constantly shaken, accompanied by a loud bang, and the starry light screen shattered. The figure appeared in front of Ye Futian like lightning, punching out, even more violent than the ferocious beast.
Ye Futian looked up and glanced at the opponent, and the Space-freezing Rules bloomed again, affecting the opponent's speed. Then, he raised his hand and also punched out, his fist like a meteor.
The shadow of the Hou of Heaven appeared behind the opponent, with a roar that could shatter one's Spiritual Will. The extremely violent power collided with Ye Futian's fist. Ye Futian took two steps back, and the opponent was also sent flying. As he retreated, he took Yaya's body with him, and they landed back where they started.
Ye Futian looked up at the opponent, and a look of interest appeared in his eyes. This person's roar could move mountains and rivers, and it contained an unparalleled aura, as well as the ability to attack the Spiritual Will, and it could shatter one's Spiritual Will. Its power was also extremely terrifying.
This Tombkeeper Village was indeed full of hidden talents!
