As the days passed, more and more people gathered around Tombkeeper Village. The tranquility of the village seemed to have been broken. Everyone was on guard and seemed to be prepared, knowing that something was about to happen to the village.
Sword diagrams floated before Ye Futian in the hut he lived in. They were the diagrams of the sword matrixes in the Nether Sword Mound that the Village Chief had given him that day, allowing him to comprehend them in advance.
Ye Futian felt a strong sense of familiarity from the diagrams. It was the same familiarity he felt when he broke the matrix in the Chess Saint Villa. The ten diagrams seemed to be ten major sword matrixes, corresponding to the nine matrixes in the Chess Saint Villa and the Celestial Dragon Chess Game.
While the Chess Saint had figured out the sword matrixes in the Nether Sword Mound, he was unable to completely understand them and bring them back to the Chess Saint Villa. Compared to the matrixes in the Chess Saint Villa, these matrixes were the true matrixes of origin and were likely to be even stronger. While Ye Futian had broken the Celestial Dragon Chess Game before, he had to be careful and had spent the past few days trying to comprehend them.
At the moment, his spiritual will was immersed in the sword diagrams. The ten diagrams were like ten different ultimate arts of the sword, and their power was extremely terrifying. He had his third brother Gu Dongliu, Ye Wuchen, Xu Que, and Zui Qianchou experience the sword diagrams together. They had all trained in the way of the sword, which proved Ye Futian's guess that the sword matrixes contained within the sword diagrams were actually extremely powerful swordsmanship.
Footsteps were heard. Ye Futian waved his hand and the sword diagrams disappeared.
He looked outside and saw the figure who had walked in standing there, looking at him without saying anything. She seemed to be in low spirits.
"What's wrong, little girl?" Ye Futian asked with a smile.
"A lot of people came to the village from all over the Nine States. Some of them should be very powerful. Why don't you not go in?" Yaya looked at Ye Futian and said.
Ye Futian had a strange look on his face and a smile appeared in his eyes. He looked at her and said, "Are you worried about your brother?"
"Who's worried about you?" Yaya turned her head away, but she seemed to realize that something was wrong. Did she not just admit that Ye Futian was her brother?
She turned around and saw Ye Futian looking at her with a faint smile. She could not help but glare at him. This guy had been playing tricks on her every day. Sister Jieyu was right.
"She doesn't look like the girl who commanded the world on the stage of the Nine State Forum." Back on the stage of the Nine State Forum, facing the mighty ones of the Nine States, Yaya was arrogant and unparalleled. In the end, she was defeated by Yu Sheng.
But now, he was actually worried.
"That's different." Yaya looked at Ye Futian and said, "The Village Chief said that this time, it will be a matter of life and death for the village. He told us to be mentally prepared. You are not a villager, and this has nothing to do with you. What are you staying here for?"
Ye Futian, of course, understood that things were different. The Nine State Forum was, in fact, a competition between the holy lands of the Nine States. It was a grand event of the Nine States, and no matter what happened, the holy lands of the Nine States would always display a transcendent bearing. However, this time, it concerned the once number one sword of the Nine States, the heaven-defying sword matrix left behind by the Sword Saint of the Void, as well as the terrifying training grounds.
Ye Futian walked up and knocked on Yaya's head. Yaya glared at him but did not resist.
I'm used to it!
"I still have to take care of you." Ye Futian walked out of the room and asked, "Did many people enter the village?"
"Yes." Yaya nodded. "Many people have already gone to find the Village Chief."
"That means that we don't have much time," Ye Futian said softly. Before entering the Nether Sword Mound, he naturally had to completely familiarize himself with the sword diagram. Only then would he be able to better protect himself in the Nether Sword Mound. Otherwise, with his plane of cultivation, entering would be equivalent to courting death. It was a place that could even trap Saint Plane cultivators.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from afar. Ye Futian looked in that direction and saw a group of figures with extraordinary temperaments walking towards him. The person in the lead was Liu Zong, who he had dealt with several times before.
"Palace Lord Ye has indeed come to Tombkeeper Village," Liu Zong said with a smile.
Ye Futian looked behind Liu Zong. The nine students of the Chess Saint were all there, as well as the mighty ones of Xihua Sacred Mountain. However, all of them saw Liu Zong as their leader, which showed how high Liu Zong's status in Xihua Sacred Mountain was.
Other than that, Liu Zong had also received the lineage of the Chess Saint. It was possible that he was the one who understood the Nether Sword Mound the most besides the Village Chief. After all, the Chess Saint was currently in the Nether Sword Mound.
Yang Xiao, the student of the Chess Saint, also nodded at Ye Futian. Speaking of which, Ye Futian's impression of the students of the Chess Saint was not bad. They had their own standpoint for the sake of their master. It was just that Li Kaishan was an honest person that he could not see through. Even his brothers were a little surprised at that time. Of course, that was not important, and it had nothing to do with him.
"The Village Chief asked me to come as a guest, and I have been here for some time." Ye Futian smiled and said, "What is the purpose of Xihua Sacred Mountain's visit?"
His presence here had already explained some things, and there was no need to hide anything.
Presumably, many people would guess that he or Yu Sheng was the chosen successor of Tombkeeper Village.
"Palace Lord Ye, you must know that the Chess Saint is now trapped in the forbidden Nether Sword Mound, and we have come to rescue him." Liu Zong smiled and said, "Palace Lord Ye, when you broke the Celestial Dragon Chess Game in Chess Saint Villa, could you lend us a hand? I believe that if we succeed, the Chess Saint will be grateful to you and will not mistreat you. "
"Naturally, I am willing. But since the Chess Saint chose you, he naturally trusts you and Xihua Sacred Mountain more. My plane is low, and the Barren State lacks mighty ones. I am afraid that I am unable to help you," Ye Futian said humbly.
Liu Zong took a deep look at Ye Futian, then nodded lightly. "If there is a chance, I hope that Palace Lord Ye can lend us a hand. At the very least, whether it is me or Xihua Sacred Mountain, we have high hopes for Palace Lord Ye, and we do not wish to stand against Palace Lord Ye."
As he finished, he smiled and walked away.
The students of the Chess Saint walked past Ye Futian. Jiu Gongzi walked up to Ye Futian and patted him on the shoulder, then left with a bitter smile.
He had some friendship with Ye Futian in Chess Saint Villa, and he did not wish to stand against Ye Futian.
However, both he and Ye Futian understood what Liu Zong meant. If it was as the outside world had speculated, and Tombkeeper Village had chosen Ye Futian and his people as successors, then what Liu Zong and Xihua Sacred Mountain wanted to do would inevitably conflict with Ye Futian's. As such, it was inevitable that they would stand against each other.
Liu Zong was advising Ye Futian in a roundabout way.
Ye Futian watched them leave. Yaya came up behind him, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
The reason why she advised Ye Futian to leave was because she was worried about such things. While she did not know much, she was still able to sense the simplest danger, just like how she could feel that Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were really being nice to her.
There was another sound of something flying in the air. Ye Futian looked up and saw figures appearing in several places in the air, and they were all in groups of dozens. They looked down at Ye Futian, and someone asked, "Is that the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian?"
"Yes." Someone nodded.
"If there's a chance, let's spar," someone said to Ye Futian through the air, then left in a flash.
After the Nine State Forum, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, Ye Futian, and Yu Sheng became very famous. Even the geniuses of the various holy lands of the Nine States had heard of them. Only a few attended the Nine State Forum, and many of those who came from holy lands did not attend the Nine State Forum. As such, they were very curious about the people from the Barren State.
Of course, their goal this time was not Ye Futian, but the Nether Sword Mound.
After they left, Ye Futian heard more and more people arriving in the village.
"Looks like they're moving at the same time." He knew that many people from the Nine States had arrived, but they were all in the area around the village. Occasionally, people would enter the village to see what was going on.
And today, it was obvious that someone had taken the lead. The people from the holy lands of the Nine States began to enter the village on a large scale, no longer hiding.
Brilliant light shone in the air. Ye Futian looked up and saw a phoenix carriage descending from above. He could tell where these people came from at a glance.
The phoenix patterns on the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's Golden Phoenix Army were also very eye-catching.
"Stop," a figure on the carriage said. A figure on the carriage said. Immediately, the Golden Phoenix Army stopped. A young man in luxurious clothes turned around and asked, "Ziyi, what's wrong?"
"I met someone I know. I'm going down to take a look." Zhou Ziyi walked out of the carriage. Ye Futian looked up. What does this woman want now?
On the carriage in the air, Zhou Ya, Zhou You, and Zhou Zichao were also there. When they saw Ye Futian, their expressions were rather cold. A young man with a powerful aura in the carriage asked, "Who is he?"
"Ye Futian," Zhou Ya said. Suddenly, the young man's expression turned sharp. So it's him.
Zhou Ziyi descended from the sky and landed on top of Ye Futian's head. Seeing the situation here, the people of the Barren State also walked out and came to Ye Futian's side, looking up at the Golden Phoenix Army coming from the void.
"Why have you come to Tombkeeper Village?" Zhou Ziyi looked down at Ye Futian and asked.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Ye Futian wore a strange expression. This woman still hasn't learned her lesson?
"It has nothing to do with me, but let me give you a word of advice. While your performance in the Nine State Forum was outstanding, the Barren State is still the Barren State. The Nine State Forum does not mean anything. Whatever you want to do, do it within your means." Zhou Ziyi left these words and took to the air.
Now, Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had discussed marriage. Liu Zong would marry a princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and that person was almost certain to be her.
Liu Zong came with the hopes of Xihua Sacred Mountain, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and the Chess Saint Villa. He could almost represent half of the Eastern State, and there was no way he could fail on this trip.
According to what Zhou Ziyi knew, the chess game in the Chess Saint Villa might have something to do with the Nether Sword Mound. As such, Ye Futian, who had broken the Celestial Dragon Chess Game, would be a variable.
As such, she deliberately reminded Ye Futian to do it within his means. He was not yet qualified to compete with Liu Zong!
