Ye Futian looked up at Saint Xihua. His eyes were slightly narrowed, but he was still smiling, but his heart was very cold.
Was he finally ready to act?
Since the incident at the Nether Sword Mound, Ye Futian had suspected that Xihua Sacred Mountain was behind Liu Zong. Without Saint Xihua's permission, Liu Zong would not have been so bold as to sacrifice the people of Xihua Sacred Mountain.
Now Saint Xihua wanted him to hand over the Sword Matrix of the Void and apologize. He knew that this was impossible. If he really had the Sword Matrix of the Void and handed it over, would the Barren State still be alive?
But Saint Xihua still brought it up. In fact, it was just an excuse to enter.
Behind this marriage, the two holy lands of the Eastern State must have divided the benefits.
As for the specifics, no one knew.
"Do you think that if I had controlled the Sword Matrix of the Void, there would still be today's wedding?" Ye Futian said with a smile. Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they naturally understood what he meant. If he had really controlled the Sword Matrix of the Void, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty might not even have existed.
"Perhaps Palace Lord Ye's level is not enough to activate the Sword Matrix of the Void and only control its methods," Saint Xihua said with a smile. "Of course, if Palace Lord Ye says no, I would be willing to believe it. But as long as Palace Lord Ye is sincere, this will not be a problem. For example, Palace Lord Ye can hand over the sword spirit girl. In addition, I heard from Liu Zong that Ye Wuchen, a disciple of the Barren State, obtained a few strands of sword will from the Renhuang ruins. It may be Renhuang's sword will, so it can be used as a replacement for the Sword Matrix of the Void."
As Saint Xihua's voice fell, suddenly everyone's eyes fell on the one-armed figure behind Ye Futian.
Ye Wuchen obtained Renhuang's sword will?
Although this was only a guess, if it really was Renhuang's sword will, it was enough to tempt the saints of the Barren State.
Ye Futian heard Saint Xihua's words, and his heart became even colder. This simple sentence pushed Ye Wuchen into the vortex.
"You must be joking, Saint. If Wuchen had really obtained Renhuang's Sword Will, how could he have returned to the Barren State? But I heard that Liu Zong had also obtained Renhuang's treasures in the ruins of Renhuang, and his strength had transformed. No wonder Saint Xihua has now named him the Son of Xihua, and the Great Zhou Sacred King has betrothed the princess to him. It seems that they are preparing for Liu Zong to inherit the two great holy lands."
Although he had heard that Liu Zong had encountered a great opportunity, he did not know exactly what it was. However, since Saint Xihua had mentioned the Renhuang Sword Will, he could naturally return the favor.
"As for handing over the treasures and apologizing, I don't think the Saint has figured out who started the Sacred War. The Barren State has always been under attack, and we have suffered heavy casualties. If we are to apologize, it should be the Great Zhou Sacred King." Ye Futian continued, "I believe that with the Saint's status and bearing, you naturally have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. You will not be unable to distinguish right from wrong just because of a marriage alliance and suppress my weak Barren State."
When everyone heard Ye Futian spouting nonsense, they could not help but feel embarrassed. The Barren State had always been beaten?
In the biggest battles between the Holy Zhi Palace and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, it seemed that the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had suffered losses.
Suppress the weak Barren State? The Barren State of today was no longer weak.
Ye Futian's eloquence was really amazing. He had said in advance that he believed that the Saint would be able to distinguish right from wrong, which was what Saint Xihua had said.
"In the Sacred War between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace, the Barren State did not seem to have suffered too many losses. On the contrary, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's three top forces were uprooted by Palace Lord Ye. Palace Lord Ye is now saying that the Barren State is weak and suppressed, which is a bit too modest."
Saint Xihua said calmly, "Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty have a marriage alliance. Naturally, we will not deliberately suppress the Holy Zhi Palace. After all, I still quite admire Palace Lord Ye, so I deliberately invited Palace Lord Ye to come and mediate this matter. I hope that there will be no discord in the future."
"But the mediation that you speak of is only for the Barren State to apologize," Ye Futian said.
"Palace Lord Ye also said that the Barren State is weak. If it were not for the rules set by the supervising inspector not allowing saints to intervene, the Holy Zhi Palace would be in an unknown situation now. Now, the Great Zhou Sacred King has married the princess into Xihua Sacred Mountain, and Liu Zong is the Son of Xihua Sacred Mountain. If something happens to Ziyi's family in the future, can Liu Zong just stand by? Is Xihua Sacred Mountain in a dilemma? "
Saint Xihua's tone gradually became a bit colder, and with a bit of majesty, he said, "Is it so difficult to make Palace Lord Ye apologize?"
As he said this, there was a faint saintly might permeating from his body, causing the banquet to be extraordinarily quiet.
Many people drank quietly, and no one intervened. Saint Xihua was obviously looking for an excuse to participate in the Sacred War.
For the Barren State, this was absolutely a disaster.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had already caused the Holy Zhi Palace a lot of trouble.
Ye Futian stared at Saint Xihua and said, "You are really making things difficult for me. In the Sacred War with the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the one who should apologize should be the Great Zhou Sacred King."
"So, Palace Lord Ye insists on being self-centered?" Saint Xihua said coldly.
The people of the Barren State all looked indifferent as they looked up at Saint Xihua.
Ye Futian lowered his head slightly, smiled, and raised his cup, drinking it in one gulp.
Putting down the cup, Ye Futian looked up at Saint Xihua again and asked, "This is the second time I have come to Xihua Sacred Mountain. Do you still remember the first time people of the Barren State came to Xihua Sacred Mountain?"
Saint Xihua frowned. Many people from all the holy lands recalled the Nine State Forum a few years ago. Ye Futian must be referring to that time.
"Back then, the Barren State was weak and was rejected by all the holy lands of the Nine States. Even when we participated in the Nine State Forum and sat in the servant's seat, Yu Sheng refused to accept it and walked up to the platform to question you. At that time, you did not care. Before the war, no one cared about the feelings of the Barren State." Ye Futian said slowly, "At that time, I think all the holy lands thought that the disciples of the Barren State were too presumptuous, daring to question us. In the following Nine State Forum, many holy land forces also targeted the Holy Zhi Palace."
"However, what was the outcome of that Nine State Forum?" Ye Futian said slowly, staring at Saint Xihua with burning eyes.
Saint Xihua's face darkened and looked a little cold.
The final outcome of that year's Nine State Forum was that he personally apologized and gave a divine implement. The Barren State won first place in the Nine State Forum and was the most dazzling overall.
At that time, although he apologized, Ye Futian was very polite and respectful, so no one said anything.
But now, Ye Futian brought up the past again.
The situation at this time was indeed somewhat similar to that year.
"In the Sacred War with the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, it was the Great Zhou Sacred King who went too far. Now you want the Holy Zhi Palace to apologize. Weakness is the original sin." Ye Futian continued, "Liu Zong killed many sages in the Nether Sword Mound, including the sages of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, as well as several disciples of the Chess Saint. Is Liu Zong guilty? Now, has Liu Zong apologized?"
Many people looked up at Liu Zong on the ceremonial platform. Not only did Liu Zong not apologize, but he was also named the Son, the future heir of Xihua Sacred Mountain. Today, he married the princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and invited all the holy lands of the Nine States to congratulate him.
"How dare you." At this time, below the ceremonial platform, Rain Saint took a step forward. The pressure of the Divine Path spread out, and his expression was extremely cold.
Today was Liu Zong's wedding day, and Ye Futian actually accused Liu Zong of a crime.
Ye Futian glanced at Rain Saint. Listening to what Saint Xihua said, it was obvious that he wanted to participate in the Sacred War.
In that case, he would also be presumptuous today. Back in the Nine State Forum, he had left Saint Xihua some face, but now the other party was ready to move against the Barren State, so there was no reason to give him face.
"With this marriage alliance, what do you plan to do next?" Ye Futian looked up at Saint Xihua and asked. He did not bother to beat around the bush and asked directly.
"I have said what I should say before. Ye Futian, are you still determined to do this?" Saint Xihua's voice was low.
"Said before? Do you mean that Xihua Sacred Mountain cannot stand by and do nothing when the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is in trouble? " Ye Futian smiled and said, "Before this marriage alliance, you and the Great Zhou Sacred King must have discussed it."
Saint Xihua looked at him coldly. This Ye Futian was really full of thorns and did not give him any face at all.
"If that's what you invited me here today, I'm already here. Xihua Sacred Mountain, feel free to do whatever you want to do." Ye Futian said, "As for this banquet, I'm afraid I can't afford it, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying this, Ye Futian stood up and was ready to leave.
Beside and behind Ye Futian, the people of the Barren State stood up and followed him.
"How arrogant." At this time, a cold voice was heard. Ye Futian looked around and saw someone put down the wine glass in his hand, then looked up at him.
It was the Head Saint of Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State, titled Saint Zhi.
"If the Holy Zhi Palace had not invited Emperor Xia back then, the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State would have been long gone, and there would not have been such arrogant people at today's banquet." At this time, Saint Zhi of Zhisheng Cliffs said lightly. He looked up at Ye Futian and said, "Ye Futian, let me remind you of something. Back then, the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State invited Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia said that if there was no saint in the Barren State after the next Battle of Proving Holiness, the Holy Zhi Palace would be banned, and Zhisheng Cliffs could not do anything to the Holy Zhi Palace. But now, the Barren State has a saint, so naturally, it is not bullying the Holy Zhi Palace."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words of the Head Saint of Zhisheng Cliffs. Another holy land had declared that they would go against the Barren State.
Xihua Sacred Mountain, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and Zhisheng Cliffs. If the three holy lands joined forces, it would be enough to wipe out the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
The Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State might be facing a life and death situation.
Ye Futian looked at Saint Zhi. Before, Yue Jiangliu had reminded him that Kong Yao had arrived at Xihua Sacred Mountain ahead of time. It was likely that Zhisheng Cliffs and Xihua Sacred Mountain had reached some kind of agreement, and in this operation against the Barren State, they would each divide the benefits.
He was thinking that, with Zhisheng Cliffs' power after Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the benefits they could get were probably to take the holy land of the Barren State for themselves and occupy the Sage Hall of the Holy Zhi Palace.
As for Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, what could they get?
At this time, Ye Futian had Little Condor issue an order in the Holy Zhi Palace!
