Ye Futian, who was about to fight, also looked at Jiang Yuechan with surprise.
Jiang Yuechan said that she admired him?
The two of them had never met before. He was not arrogant enough to think that a beautiful woman ranked on the Sage and Saint Ranking would fall in love with him and be willing to die for him. That would be too ridiculous.
Furthermore, he knew that Jiang Yuechan had killed the people of the Yue clan. Everything she did must have been for the sake of the Glass Saint.
He felt the will to die from Jiang Yuechan.
He and the people of the Yue clan had investigated the cause of death of the mighty ones of the Yue clan and felt a wisp of aura left there. After entering the imperial mausoleum, the Glass Saint had fought the Great Zhou Sacred King first, and the people of the Yue clan would have been able to tell.
If that was the case, then Jiang Yuechan might have been looking for death.
None of the saints of the Nine States in the air paid attention to Jiang Yuechan's words. Before the saints of the Nine States, even those ranked on the Sage Ranking were not that important. Furthermore, this was about the lineage of Renhuang. They would not care about Jiang Yuechan's life.
However, Ji Ya took a step forward and glanced coldly at Jiang Yuechan below. He said, "Killing one more makes no difference."
Yu Sheng of the Holy Zhi Palace had blocked his way with his demonic power. Ji Mo was killed right before his eyes. None of the people of the Holy Zhi Palace would be able to leave alive. If Jiang Yuechan wanted to fight alongside the Holy Zhi Palace, then they would die together.
"Yuechan, come back," the Glass Saint said coldly. The Glass Saint said coldly. She naturally knew that everything Jiang Yuechan did was for her sake. The two of them shouldered the grudge of having their clans wiped out all those years ago and had to rely on each other for survival. Even though Jiang Yuechan's talents were not all that exceptional, she was able to become a mighty one ranked on the Sage Ranking through sheer determination.
There was no way she would be willing to let Jiang Yuechan die.
"My lady, please forgive me for not being able to listen to you this time." Jiang Yuechan replied to the Glass Saint telepathically, "If Ye Futian is able to get out of here alive, you'll be able to get closer to him. Take care of yourself when I'm not around. Yuechan, I'll serve you in my next life."
She looked in the direction where the Moon Saint was after saying that, then took a step forward and flew into the air.
She knew that no matter what, she had to die. a life for a life. A life for a life for a life. Since she had done it, she had to admit it. She did not regret it. The truth was not that important if the Yue clan wanted to be involved.
After she died, no one would care about the truth.
Ye Futian did not stop Jiang Yuechan. This was Jiang Yuechan's own choice. Since Jiang Yuechan had committed the assassination, her fate was sealed. Even without this incident, the mighty ones of the Yue clan would not have let her go.
"Kill her." Saint Ji said coldly. His voice did not waver at all. Seeing Jiang Yuechan's figure moving upwards, several mighty ones ranked on the Sage Ranking stepped out at the same time.
Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs took a step in the air and his divine elephant suppressed the heavens. Jiang Yuechan shuddered, but she continued to take to the air and did not stop.
Zhong Kui of Xihua Sacred Mountain stepped out and the sound of a bell reverberated in the air. Jiang Yuechan slowed down yet again. Li Daoqiu grabbed at the air, seemingly freezing the space there. Jiang Yuechan slowed down further.
Two extremely dazzling lights flashed. Ji Ya and Ji Mu of the Hall of Holy Light acted at the same time. Swords of Holy Light shone and drew a dazzling arc. Jiang Yuechan's body was pierced right there and then. Dazzling light burst from her pierced body. Her body was torn to shreds under the light at the very next moment, disappearing right there and then.
Five mighty ones ranked on the Sage Ranking attacked at the same time. One of them was Ji Ya, who was ranked second, and the other was Kong Yao, who was ranked ninth. There was no way Jiang Yuechan would have been able to withstand it. Furthermore, she had been looking for death, and she had never thought about living.
Many in the Nine States did not understand why Jiang Yuechan wanted to die, but there was no way the Glass Saint would not have understood.
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, seeming to break the hearts of many. While she had trained in the art of extinguishing emotions, there was no way she would have been able to truly sever all emotions. That girl, who had been following her around since she was a young girl, had left her forever, dying for her.
She recalled when she was young, there was a maidservant who sat behind her and helped her with her makeup. That maidservant looked at her in the mirror and smiled, saying, "Even as a woman, Yuechan couldn't help but fall in love with your looks. I wonder who would have the fortune to become a son-in-law in the future. He would have been the happiest man in the world."
Jiang Yuechan did not see that day. She only saw her young mistress being betrayed by her future son-in-law, being forced to commit suicide, and having her entire clan wiped out. She lived a lonely life, training tirelessly in the Lapis Lazuli Holy Temple, all for the sake of vengeance. Even she herself became a mighty one ranked on the Sage Ranking.
She was indeed a femme fatale. She brought harm to her entire clan and was killed. Her fiancé's entire family was killed by her own hands. She brought harm to her teacher, and now, she brought harm to Yuechan.
Perhaps all of that would have come to an end when she was dead.
However, she was reluctant to die. Zhou Zhiming was still alive.
While she called for Yuechan to come back, she knew full well that Yuechan had no way of surviving. As such, she did not really want to stop her. What a pathetic and selfish woman.
She did not wipe away her tears, which dried up quickly. She did not continue to cry. Instead, she looked up at Ji Ya, Kong Yao, Zhong Kui, and the others. Saint Ji, Saint Zhi, and Saint Xihua stood behind those people.
It seemed that Zhou Zhiming was not the only enemy she had at the moment.
Ye Futian took a look at the Glass Saint and saw the tears at the corner of her eyes. She looked poignant. At that moment, the Glass Saint seemed to be even more despairing than when she was bullied by him. She was despairing silently.
Perhaps she knew that she would not be able to protect Jiang Yuechan.
He sighed inwardly. His resentment towards the Glass Saint and Jiang Yuechan lessened somewhat. Everyone had something that they held dear to them. While Jiang Yuechan's methods were rather despicable, she still paid with her life for it.
He was able to understand how the Glass Saint felt, as the Holy Zhi Palace was now facing a similar situation of despair.
All of the Nine States were enemies, and there was only a slim chance of survival.
However, those who stood beside him were willing to fight to the death with him. They, like Jiang Yuechan, had their own beliefs.
He would not allow himself to be like the Glass Saint, unable to protect the people of the Holy Zhi Palace.
If all of the Nine States were to be enemies with the Holy Zhi Palace, then so be it. If all of the people of the Nine States were to kill the students of the Holy Zhi Palace, then he would kill until rivers of blood flowed.
Ye Futian took to the air with one step.
Countless eyes fell on Ye Futian at that moment. It was as if they had forgotten about Jiang Yuechan's death.
Jiang Yuechan was ultimately an insignificant figure. While she was a mighty one ranked on the Sage Ranking, it did not matter in the current situation. No one cared about how and why she died.
There was only one thing that everyone cared about at that moment: who would the lineage of Renhuang belong to.
Many mighty ones from holy lands stepped out as Ye Futian made his move. Ji Ya held a sword of light in his hand, and his killing intent was extremely sharp.
Kong Yao stood proudly in the air, looking down at Ye Futian like a god.
The two mighty ones ranked on the Sage Ranking from Xihua Sacred Mountain looked cold, and their killing intent was equally strong.
Zhou Huang and Zhou Mian of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty stepped out. A burning will filled the air, and they rushed towards Ye Futian.
Mighty ones ranked on the Sage Ranking from the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean stepped out and sealed the air.
Mighty ones from the Yi Clan stepped out, holding bows and arrows, pointing at Ye Futian. Terrifying killing light emanated from them.
Just these mighty ones who made a move were enough to doom the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
All of the Nine States were enemies, and anyone below the Saint Plane wanting to leave alive was an extravagant hope.
An unparalleled pressure landed on Ye Futian's body, creating a terrifying gust of wind. His white robes fluttered in the wind, and the air was filled with a murderous intent.
The people of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Nine States stepped out behind Ye Futian. Every one of them released their own aura, fighting to the death.
The air was silent, and only the howling of the cold wind was heard. It was extremely oppressive.
The people of Zhongzhou City gazed at the battlefield from afar and sighed.
Would there be no more Holy Zhi Palace after today?
If Ye Futian died, even if the Holy Zhi Palace did not fall apart, it would no longer be the Holy Zhi Palace.
"Will the one who kills me get the inheritance?"
Ye Futian looked up at the mighty ones in the air. He stepped forward alone, facing the mighty ones of the Nine States.
He stretched out his hand, and with a brilliant flash of light, a ritual implement appeared in Ye Futian's palm.
It was a halberd, a brilliant golden halberd that seemed to be made of pure gold. It was filled with brilliant light, and from the halberd, terrible power of space swallowed and spat out. It was saintly might.
Obviously, it was a divine implement.
Many people from the holy lands did not react. It was not surprising that Ye Futian had a divine implement, but the Saints of the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean were instantly frozen, staring at the halberd in Ye Futian's hand.
Ocean Saint, the Palace Lord of the Ocean Palace, stepped forward. His eyes widened as he stared at Ye Futian and said coldly, "The Halberd of Time and Space."
All the Saints of the Nine States looked surprised. The Halberd of Time and Space, ranked third on the Divine Implement Ranking, Nothingness?
Not long ago, the Saints of the Endless Ocean claimed that the Lost Ruins had been broken and the Halberd of Time and Space had disappeared. The one who had taken it was the Divine Beast Jiuying.
But the Halberd of Time and Space had reappeared, this time in Ye Futian's hand.
The Saints of the North Deep and the Celestial Cliffs looked equally cold as they stared at Ye Futian.
"So, it was you who killed the people of the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean and took away the Halberd of Time and Space of the Ocean Palace." Ocean Saint's body emanated the might of the Divine Path.
Ye Futian raised his right hand and pointed at Ocean Saint of the Void. "The inheritance of the ruins belongs to the capable. Have you forgotten what you just said so quickly?"
It did not matter whether he killed the people of the three holy lands or not. It did not matter whether he took out the Halberd of Time and Space.
If the Nine States were his enemy, then so be it.
"Wonderful," Saint Ji said. He did not expect that today, not only had the inheritance of Renhuang appeared, but the Halberd of Time and Space, ranked third on the Divine Implement Ranking, Nothingness, had also appeared. It was too wonderful.
The top two divine implements on the Divine Implement Ranking had disappeared in the hands of the top two. Now that the third divine implement had appeared, and Saint Xia and Saint Li did not fight for it, then it should belong to him.
"It is indeed wonderful." Ye Futian glanced at Saint Ji and pointed the halberd at him. He said coldly, "Today, if anyone of the holy lands kills a single person of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, if I do not die, I will make sure that there is no one left in the holy land below the Saint level."
