The Holy Zhi Palace and the Yue clan had joined forces to investigate the assassination of the cultivators of the Yue clan. All the holy lands of the Nine States were paying attention.
Who dared to secretly attack the Yue clan?
What was their purpose in doing this?
A few days later, the two holy lands found the place where the cultivators of the Yue clan had last fought. It was indeed in the area of Zhongzhou City, but it was in an uninhabited wasteland.
At this time, Ye Futian and Yue Jiangliu arrived.
There were signs of battle below, and there were even bloodstains. The last place where the Yue clan cultivators were seen was not far from here. The investigators had followed the last place they were seen and found this place. There were still remnants of sealing will, probably left behind by the Yue clan cultivators during the battle.
At this time, this area was sealed off by the people of the two holy lands. At this time, the people of Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty did not take this opportunity to touch Ye Futian.
Many people suspected them of the death of the cultivators of the Yue clan. If they acted now, it would be forcing the Yue clan to completely side with the Holy Zhi Palace, which would be even more disadvantageous to them.
Although there were traces of battle and the aura of rules left behind, there were no other clues except that this was the place where the cultivators of the Yue clan had fallen.
Ye Futian used Freedom Meditation and looked into the space, trying to find clues. At this time, his perception was extremely sharp. He landed at a battle site and vaguely felt that in addition to the seal, there was also a very faint aura.
"It's so cold," Ye Futian murmured, and then walked to different places with traces of battle.
After a long time, he looked up at Yue Jiangliu and said, "Although the aura of the battle has almost disappeared, a battle between top sages will still leave a remnant of the will of rules. My perception is different from that of ordinary people, and I can feel that it seems to be done by one person. Moreover, the power that the other party is good at seems to be ice rule power.
"In the land of the Nine States, even among the top sages, there are still many people who are good at this kind of ability. All the holy lands have them," said Yue Jiangliu. This meant that Ye Futian's discovery did not have much meaning at all. It was impossible to find the assassin.
Perhaps the cultivators of the Yue clan had been too careless and had been plotted against. Perhaps they had not thought that someone would assassinate them.
After a while, Yue Jiangliu said, "It seems that there are no other clues. Let's go back to the palace first."
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded, and the group returned to the Holy Zhi Palace.
The person who killed the Yue Clan cultivators was not found, and the situation was a little confusing.
However, the mighty ones of the Yue clan remained in the Holy Zhi Palace. Furthermore, there were rumors that the Yue clan and the Holy Zhi Palace had the intention of forming a marriage alliance, which made it so that Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had not dared to act rashly.
Zhisheng Cliffs had been massacred by Ye Futian's army, and now the Yue clan had come to stir things up, which made them very unhappy.
However, no matter how displeased he was, he could only suppress it and continue to wait for an opportunity.
Saint Xihua and the Great Zhou Sacred King even cursed Saint Zhi for being a coward in their hearts. He was a Saint, after all, and yet his descendants were slaughtered. He was the laughing stock of the world. Zhisheng Cliffs had not been able to recover for a hundred years, yet he did not have the courage to fight to the death.
With Saint Zhi's powers, he would have been able to wipe out the Holy Zhi Palace in the Barren State. Even if the two saints were there, they would not have been able to stop him.
After wiping out the Holy Zhi Palace, he would have been able to escape. It would not have been a loss if he had been killed by Emperor Xia. Looking at the potential of the Holy Zhi Palace now, there would be at least two saints among the younger generation.
One was Ye Futian, whose talent was said to be the best in the Nine States, and the other was Yu Sheng, who was first in the Nine State Forum.
Of course, that was what they thought. If Saint Xihua and the Great Zhou Sacred King were to do it themselves, they would not have been willing to sacrifice their noble lives as saints. It had not been easy to cultivate to where they were today.
In the world, there was nothing more important than cultivating the Great Path. If there was something, it would be life. Without life, there would be no Great Path.
…
Ye Futian returned to the Holy Zhi Palace and took out the files related to the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States to read.
He did not look at the 72 Saints, but at the 81 Sages.
Of course, in reality, several of the Sage Ranking were no longer there, and it was all done by the Holy Zhi Palace.
But even so, Ye Futian still looked at the rest of the people seriously.
Although all the holy lands of the Nine States had people who were skilled in ice powers, those who could go alone and be confident that they could kill the cultivators of the Yue clan must be top figures. He was even confident that the other party would not have had a chance to escape, so the Sage and Saint Ranking was worth looking at.
But after looking at it, Ye Futian still did not learn much.
Just as Ye Futian was still investigating the deaths of the cultivators of the Yue clan.
A group of uninvited guests quietly arrived in Zhongzhou City of the Barren State.
Zhongzhou City was the largest main city in the Barren State, and the Holy Zhi Palace was also located within the boundaries of Zhongzhou City.
At this time, in the ancient city, there was a group of cultivators walking in a mighty manner. These people all had extraordinary temperament, and one of them had white hair and a youthful face. There was a few wisps of celestial air about him, and the inadvertent aura that was revealed was enough to make people tremble.
The other cultivators were also extremely powerful figures. They walked all the way forward as if they were looking for something.
In the center, there was a young man dressed in embroidered clothes standing with his hands behind his back. Beside him, there was a middle-aged man with a scroll floating in front of him. It shone brightly, and the scroll showed a map. It was this map that was pointing them in the right direction.
"We should be there soon," said the middle-aged man. He raised his head, and his eyes were extremely spirited. His sharp face gave people a sense of sharpness, and there was a faint sense of majesty about him.
"Where are we?" asked the young man.
"One of the Nine States under the rule of Emperor Xia, Zhongzhou City of the Barren State," replied the middle-aged man.
"Some time ago, Xia Qingyuan took some people out to train, and they came to our territory. I didn't expect that we would come to the land ruled by Emperor Xia so soon. However, in the territory of Emperor Xia, it is not convenient to do anything. Try to keep a low profile and don't cause trouble," the young man said, and everyone nodded. They all knew the purpose of this trip.
If a Renhuang relic really appeared in this remote Barren State, it would be difficult to get anything out of it. After all, in the territory of Emperor Xia, it was best not to cause trouble. They hoped that the relic was not hidden too deeply, so that they would have a chance to get it and leave.
This map was something that they had paid a great price to get their hands on. They did not want to waste their efforts and let the people of Emperor Xia take advantage of it.
The map floating in the air gradually lit up, as if it had sensed something, causing everyone's eyes to flash. It seemed that they had found the right direction.
Not long after, they came to a majestic family force. Palaces stood tall, extremely imposing, and there was a faint aura of dragons coming from them.
This force should be one of the top forces in this area.
However, at the moment, there was no one, and it was a deserted place.
The light on the map grew brighter and brighter, but at this time, the group of people all showed strange expressions. There was no one?
But there were many people coming and going outside the palaces, and at this time, they all looked up curiously at the group of figures in the void.
The aura of these people was very frightening, and no one knew where they came from. Could it be that they were people from the holy lands of the Nine States?
As Ye Futian led the Holy Zhi Palace to rise to fame in the Nine States, the people of Zhongzhou City of the Barren State had seen more and more. Now, even if they saw people from holy lands, they would not be surprised.
In the void, the group of people looked forward. This deserted place seemed to be the territory of a family, but they had all moved away. At the entrance, there was a Green Dragon Staircase, and in the middle of the pattern was a strong and powerful character: Emperor!
Obviously, the previous owner of this place had something to do with this character.
Seeing this character, the young man smiled. It was really interesting.
He turned his eyes to look at the white-haired elder and asked, "Did you sense anything?"
The elder's spiritual will had already covered every corner of the sky below. He shook his head lightly and said, "Although this family is quite imposing, it is still small. Even if it is named with the word 'Emperor', it is not worthy of this word, and it is even more impossible for it to be what we are looking for."
When the people in the distance heard the elder's words, they only felt their hearts tremble. Although there was no one in this family now, this place used to be one of the most prominent top forces in Zhongzhou City and even the Barren State. Apart from the Holy Zhi Palace, it could be ranked in the top few.
Zhongzhou City, the Sovereign Family.
But in the words of the elder, it seemed like an inferior family, small, and not worthy of the word 'Emperor' as their name.
"But at this time, the map has reacted, so it should not be wrong. There may be other mysteries. First, raze these palaces to the ground," the young man ordered.
"Yes." Next to him, a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar walked forward, and an extremely terrible storm swept up from his body. This storm gathered together, like the sharpest blade in the world, and swept forward. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, and the terrible storm drowned the sky and the earth, shrouding the vast and endless Sovereign Family Palace.
The people watching from afar only felt shocked. They saw the storm sweep past, and they seemed to see buildings being uprooted, and then turned into dust in the storm, completely swept away by the storm.
Very soon, the storm disappeared. When the crowd looked at the magnificent Imperial Palace again, there was only a pile of ruins.
"A Saint." Everyone's hearts beat faster. Why would a cultivator of the Saint Plane come to Zhongzhou City in person? Which holy land of the Nine States was this Saint from?
And why did they want to raze the Sovereign Family Palace to the ground?
Could it be that they were here for the Holy Zhi Palace again? But even so, it seemed that there was no need to raze the uninhabited Sovereign Family Palace to the ground. What was the point?
The young man looked at the increasingly bright light of the map beside him and said, "It should be here. Today, even if you have to dig a thousand feet underground, you must find it for me."
"Yes." The people around him nodded. They had crossed endless territories to find this place, and naturally, they had to achieve their goal. Since they had found the right place, there was no reason for them to fail!
