The people of the Barren State all stared in the direction where Zhou Ziyi had left, their expressions cold.
Zhou Ziyi was really overbearing. They naturally understood what she meant by that. She wanted Ye Futian to withdraw himself and not fight for it, regardless of whether he was the heir chosen by Tombkeeper Village.
The Barren State was the Barren State. No matter how outstanding their performance in the Nine State Forum was, at least for now, they were not qualified to fight.
Yu Sheng's cold eyes swept over the Golden Phoenix Army in the air. He had already hated Zhou Ziyi back in the Chess Saint Villa. She had been humiliated several times, but she still did not change her arrogance and condescension.
Ye Futian's expression was indifferent. This was probably the confidence given to her by the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
He also understood that Zhou Ziyi's words were not without reason. No matter how outstanding the Barren State's performance in the Nine State Forum was, the Barren State was still the Barren State. As long as there was no saint, the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State would still be the weakest holy land in the Nine States.
Even if many great figures admired the students of the Barren State, and even invited Yu Sheng and Xu Que to become disciples of saints, it was just admiration.
Whether it was Xihua Sacred Mountain, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, or other holy lands, none of them cared whether he was the one chosen by Tombkeeper Village. It was as if he was automatically ignored by them.
"Since we're all here, there's no time to continue comprehending. Let's go." Ye Futian lifted his feet and walked in the same direction.
That was where the Village Chief was.
After a while, Ye Futian and the others came to where the Village Chief was. At this time, there were already many mighty ones gathered there. Many people from holy lands had arrived. There were many mighty ones, and there were even some with extremely powerful auras.
Many villagers of Tombkeeper Village had also arrived. They gathered around the Village Chief and looked coldly at the outsiders.
The Village Chief said that this disturbance was related to the survival of Tombkeeper Village. It was very likely that Tombkeeper Village would no longer exist.
When Ye Futian arrived, many people looked at him. The Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, who had been extremely outstanding in the Nine State Forum, had arrived one step earlier than them. But now, did he choose to give up, or choose to fight?
Zhou Ziyi saw Ye Futian and the others arrive, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. It seemed that they were prepared to fight with Liu Zong.
"Old Sir, you must help us with this."
At this moment, Liu Zong said to the village chief.
"It's not that I don't want to help. Ever since the Nether Sword Mound appeared, Tombkeeper Village has always been here. We do not interfere with anyone who enters the Nether Sword Mound. You have come from afar to try your luck in the Nether Sword Mound, and Tombkeeper Village will naturally not interfere. However, I am unable to help you with what you have just said," the old Village Chief replied plainly.
"There is no need for you to be so humble, old sir. I learned from the Chess Saint that he witnessed the people of Tombkeeper Village training in the Nether Sword Mound. I'm sure that the people of the Nine States were blind enough to not realize that the people of Tombkeeper Village were the guardians of the Nether Sword Mound." Liu Zong continued, "Since they are the guardians, it is only natural that they know the place like the back of their hands. How could they not be of help?"
"Tombkeeper Village has always been here. While we are somewhat familiar with the Nether Sword Mound, it is not as exaggerated as you think. Ever since the Nine State Forum, you have all sent people to Tombkeeper Village to observe the situation here. I believe you have some understanding of Tombkeeper Village." The Village Chief said coldly. It was apparent that he was well aware that Tombkeeper Village was being monitored by the holy lands of the Nine States after the Nine State Forum.
Moreover, many of them had arrived even earlier than Ye Futian.
Since they had guessed that Tombkeeper Village might be choosing a successor, there was no way they would watch the lineage of the Nether Sword Mound fall into the hands of others. If Ye Futian had done anything earlier, they would have done so earlier.
"The Nether Sword Mound is located in the Eastern State. Both Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty attach great importance to it. Furthermore, the Chess Saint is trapped here. You should know the impact of this matter on the Eastern State, old sir, so we have to be careful," Liu Zong said.
Yaya walked to the Village Chief's side and looked at Liu Zong and the others. "What right do you have to force the Village Chief to do this?"
Liu Zong looked at Yaya and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
The old Village Chief had brought Yaya to participate in the Nine State Forum. The girl had placed second in the Nine State Forum at the age of 15. Her talent was unparalleled. She must have been a monster forged by the cultivation conditions of the Nether Sword Mound.
She must be very important to Tombkeeper Village.
"Since the Village Chief is unwilling, we won't force it. However, if we want to enter the Nether Sword Mound and ask the Village Chief for a few people to lead the way, you won't refuse, right?" Liu Zong continued.
"Who do you want to lead the way?" The Village Chief looked at Liu Zong.
"Yaya is very talented. I like her very much. She will be one. In addition, Ying and Tian, I heard that they are very talented and are the best of the younger generation in Tombkeeper Village. They will also come," Liu Zong said.
"You sure know a lot." The Village Chief smiled and chose the three most outstanding youths in the younger generation.
"No."
At that moment, a voice was heard. Everyone's eyes turned and fell on one person. The person who spoke was Ye Futian.
Liu Zong turned his eyes and smiled at Ye Futian. "Palace Lord Ye, what can I do for you?"
"Yaya can't," Ye Futian said.
"Why not?" Liu Zong asked.
"She is my sister. She will enter the Nether Sword Mound with me," Ye Futian replied calmly.
Liu Zong stared at Ye Futian. Ye Futian was clearly telling him that he, Ye Futian, would also enter the Nether Sword Mound.
The people from other holy lands also looked interested. Is the Barren State going to fight with Liu Zong for someone?
A cold light flashed in Zhou Ziyi's eyes. As expected, he did not take her words to heart at all.
"Did you not hear what I said before?" Zhou Ziyi looked at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian glanced at Zhou Ziyi and asked, "Who are you?"
"You …" Zhou Ziyi's eyes turned cold.
"What place did you get on the Nine State Forum?" Beside Ye Futian, Zhuge Mingyue also stared at Zhou Ziyi and asked coldly.
Zhou Ziyi's expression was ugly. She had been defeated by Hua Jieyu in the first battle of the Nine State Forum and was eliminated.
"Although the Barren State is not strong, they did produce the champion of the Nine State Forum. Who are you to speak to the Palace Lord of a holy land of the Barren State like this?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at Zhou Ziyi with a cold smile and said, "If you are the princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, I would advise you to behave yourself. Don't use your status to show off all the time when you have no ability and lose face for the Sacred King of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty."
"You …" Zhou Ziyi's expression became more and more ugly. Is this b * tch humiliating me?
"And who are you to speak to the princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty?" At that moment, a powerful person from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty took a step forward and stared coldly at Zhuge Mingyue.
Zhuge Qingfeng, the Sword Saint, and Gu Dongliu all took a step forward at the same time. Zhuge Mingyue smiled and said, "As the senior sister of the Palace Lord of a holy land of the Barren State, is there a problem?"
Ye Futian watched all of this quietly and did not stop his second senior sister.
Zhou Ziyi indeed needed to be taught a lesson. She was arrogant and did not know her limits. Compared to Liu Zong, she was much worse.
Of course, he could also see that the Sacred King of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty did not like him, but he was not afraid of offending Zhou Ziyi and the juniors of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. Otherwise, he would have done whatever Zhou Ziyi wanted him to do.
Moreover, since he had decided to enter the Nether Sword Mound, he had to offend some people.
"Although the Nether Sword Mound is located in the Eastern State, it is also part of the Nine States. It exists here and does not belong to anyone or any force. Now, many holy lands have come for it, and the Barren State is the same. If Saint Xihua or the Great Zhou Sacred King are here today and do not allow anyone other than you to enter the Nether Sword Mound, then I will give up."
Ye Futian said indifferently, "Otherwise, the Barren State would also like to enter the Nether Sword Mound."
Saint Xihua and the Great Zhou Sacred King naturally could not say such things.
Therefore, Ye Futian had made a strong statement that the Barren State wanted to enter the Nether Sword Mound.
The old Village Chief watched all of this quietly. He was very satisfied with Ye Futian's attitude.
The Chess Saint had entered the Nether Sword Mound and spread the news, attracting the attention of the holy lands of the Nine States. He had to plan and plan, which was why he had come to the Nine State Forum.
Fortunately, he had not only met Yu Sheng, but also Ye Futian.
Ye Futian played a crucial role in his plan.
Moreover, he had entered the plan very cooperatively, and it could be said to be perfect.
The space suddenly quieted down. Many people from Tombkeeper Village looked at Ye Futian and could not help but have a good impression of him. Ye Futian was forcefully protecting Yaya, not allowing Liu Zong and the others to take her away.
"Since Palace Lord Ye also wants to try, there is naturally no problem."
At that moment, a voice was heard. Everyone turned their eyes and saw Liu Zong saying, "I do not mind Yaya entering the Nether Sword Mound with Palace Lord Ye. In the Chess Saint Villa, Palace Lord Ye had also broken the Celestial Dragon Chess Game and must be very proficient in the way of matrixes. Now that we can travel together, isn't it even better? We can enter the Nether Sword Mound together. Perhaps everyone will have their own opportunities."
After saying that, Liu Zong looked at the old Village Chief and said, "What do you think, old sir?"
"Very well, since you want the people of Tombkeeper Village to lead the way, I promise you that Ying, Hou, and Yaya can all take you into the Nether Sword Mound, but there are many dangers inside, and it is not something they can handle," the Village Chief said.
"Naturally, I understand. I will not make things difficult for them." Liu Zong smiled and said.
"In that case, let's go." The Village Chief turned around and said, "I will personally send you into the Nether Sword Mound. Whatever opportunities you find will depend on yourselves. However, the Nether Sword Mound is full of dangers. Remember to be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Village Chief," Liu Zong said. As he spoke, he followed behind the Village Chief. Suddenly, the group of people moved in a grandiose manner, heading in a certain direction.
Yaya came to Ye Futian's side and looked up at him.
Ye Futian put his hand on her shoulder and chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Yeah." Yaya nodded.
The group came to the back of the village and continued forward. Among the mountains, the shadows of the mountains shrouded the land and the sunlight was completely blocked.
The space was very cold. It was a graveyard. Standing outside, everyone looked at the graveyard before them and felt chills. They could not help but feel very cold, and there was a faint sharp aura coming from it.
The shadows before them seemed to stretch far into the distance, bottomless. Even their spiritual will was blocked in this space.
"This is the forbidden land, the Nether Sword Mound. There are countless swords buried in the Nether Sword Mound. Be careful, everyone," the old man reminded them. He looked forward with an indifferent expression. He seemed to see the terrifying sword matrix in the depths of the Nether Sword Mound, and the core of the Nether Sword Mound.
There, a figure sat quietly, trapped by the extremely terrifying sword matrix. The blood-colored sword was stabbed into the ground, and a terrible storm gathered, capable of destroying everything.
At that moment, the figure suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his sharpness.
The people he had chosen had arrived!
