The Holy Zhi Palace was in Zhongzhou City, and with the speed of the Village Chief, it only took a moment to return to the palace.
The giant sword returned and landed in the Holy Sage Pavilion. Then a voice swept through the palace, "Disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, prepare for battle."
The voice was solemn, and suddenly everyone in the Holy Zhi Palace was shaken.
What had happened on this trip to the imperial mausoleum?
Yang Xiao and the others flashed and went to make arrangements. Soon the people of the Holy Zhi Palace knew what had happened, and their hearts were in turmoil.
The Palace Lord, Ye Futian, had killed four cultivators ranked on the Sage Ranking, including Zhou Huang, the son of the Great Zhou Sacred King.
The Halberd of Time and Space, ranked third on the Divine Implement Ranking of the Nine States, was in the hands of the Palace Lord.
The Palace Lord had helped Huang Jiuge take the inheritance of Renhuang, and Huang Xi had died in battle.
Every piece of news was so shocking. In the imperial mausoleum, the Nine States were enemies, and Ye Futian had led the people of the Holy Zhi Palace out.
Many people hated themselves for not being able to see this battle with their own eyes.
In the Holy Sage Pavilion, Ye Futian and the others who were injured were recovering. The Undying Old Man went to visit and let them take pills, and everyone recovered very quickly.
Ye Futian had the World Tree Life Spirit, so his recovery was the fastest. Although he was seriously injured, he still quickly walked out of the Holy Sage Pavilion.
In a place in the Holy Zhi Palace, there were three people quietly cultivating. It was Liu Zixuan and the others who had been in the Endless Sea. Looking up, Liu Zixuan saw a figure coming. It was Ye Futian.
Just now, Liu Zixuan and the others had heard from the people of the Holy Zhi Palace that Ye Futian had finally taken out the Halberd of Time and Space.
"You can go," Ye Futian said to them.
Liu Zixuan looked at Ye Futian. Even in the Holy Zhi Palace, her appearance was still very outstanding. In Cliff State City, she was the most beautiful woman. Her talent was outstanding, and she was valued by the holy land.
"Can I stay and cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace?" Liu Zixuan bit her lip and asked Ye Futian.
Although they were not allowed to leave the Holy Zhi Palace during this time, cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace was still far from comparable. Even the Ocean King Palace might not have such a cultivation environment.
Ye Futian had a strange look on his face and said, "Now that the Holy Zhi Palace is in dire straits, it may very well be destroyed. Aren't you afraid of death by staying here?"
Liu Zixuan shook her head and said, "There is no such thing as an absolutely safe place for cultivators. I am willing to go through this battle with the Holy Zhi Palace, but in the future, I hope that I will no longer be under house arrest, but a part of the Holy Zhi Palace."
Ye Futian looked at Liu Zixuan's exquisite face. In his impression, Liu Zixuan was indeed a very opinionated woman. The Liu Clan of Cliff State City did their best to cultivate such a proud daughter, and she was indeed outstanding.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded. "What about Liu Yu and Liu Han?"
"Big Brother Ye, I'll also cultivate with the Holy Zhi Palace." Liu Yu and Ye Futian had a good relationship, and Ye Futian had taken good care of her during the journey to the Lost Ruins.
"I'll go with Big Sister," Liu Han said.
"Go back." Liu Zixuan looked at Liu Han and said, "No one in the clan knows if we are alive or dead. Go back and report everything that happened. If I die, the clan will know where I died."
"Big Sister." Liu Han looked at Liu Zixuan.
"Listen to me." Liu Zixuan stared at Liu Han. Liu Han lowered his head slightly, his eyes slightly red, and nodded. "Alright."
Ye Futian looked at the three of them and said, "You decide for yourselves."
After saying this, he walked away and came to the sky above the Holy Zhi Palace.
Figures flashed over. Yang Xiao, the Sword Demon, You Chi, and other cultivators came to Ye Futian's side. You Chi said, "Futian, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle next."
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. This was something that everyone naturally understood.
Not long ago in the imperial mausoleum, the situation had forced them. The other side could not take them down and could only let them go.
But if the armies of the holy lands pressed in, it was uncertain whether the holy lands that had spoken up to help them would really fight.
Against the enemy, the Hall of Holy Light, Xihua Sacred Mountain, and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the three holy lands, would undoubtedly participate in the battle.
Ye Futian looked below the Holy Zhi Palace and said, "Will the terrain of the Holy Zhi Palace affect the matrixes?"
"Naturally, there will be some. There are many places where the matrixes need to be bypassed." Yang Xiao nodded.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded lightly and looked below the Holy Zhi Palace. He said, "Disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, listen up. Everyone, stop cultivating immediately and go to the main palaces."
His voice rolled and spread throughout the Holy Zhi Palace. Suddenly, countless people looked up in Ye Futian's direction, but everyone obeyed and stopped cultivating. One by one, their figures flashed and went to the main palaces.
"Village Chief," Ye Futian shouted in a certain direction.
A flash of sword light flashed, and the Village Chief's figure appeared in front of Ye Futian.
"When the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace have entered the main palaces, raze the Holy Zhi Palace to the ground," Ye Futian said to the Village Chief.
Hearing Ye Futian's words, everyone looked at him in shock. Raze the Holy Zhi Palace to the ground?
The Holy Zhi Palace had many years of history, and many places had been left behind by the ancestors. There were relics left everywhere in the Holy Zhi Palace, and there were many places suitable for cultivation.
Now, Ye Futian's order was to raze it to the ground.
Everything was going to disappear.
But no one objected. At this moment, no one would question Ye Futian's position in the Holy Zhi Palace.
In the past, when he entered the Holy Zhi Palace as a noble, everyone assisted him and had high hopes for him. But now, Ye Futian brought two saints to the Holy Zhi Palace and led the Holy Zhi Palace to destroy Zhisheng Cliffs. He himself was already at the peak below the Saint Plane.
Ye Futian had long become the symbol of the Holy Zhi Palace.
He was even the symbol of the entire Barren State.
In the land of the Nine States, when the Barren State was mentioned, the first person that came to mind was the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian.
Figures flashed over, and more elders of the Holy Zhi Palace came here. After knowing Ye Futian's decision, they just sighed silently and looked at the Holy Zhi Palace with some reluctance.
Not long after, an unparalleled storm of Sword Qi appeared in the Holy Zhi Palace. The storm was like a giant sword, flattening the ground. Buildings, mountains, and cultivation relics were crushed in the storm and turned to dust.
At this time, above the main palaces, countless disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace looked down, and their hearts were extremely unsettled.
Not long after, the vast Holy Zhi Palace, except for the main palaces that stood tall, was razed to the ground.
Of course, the Sage Hall with the inheritance of the Divine Path was still there.
"Palace Master Yang, please lead the Array Dao Palace's disciples." Yang Xiao nodded, then led his people down, preparing to rearrange the matrix.
"Send word to the Barren State. I, as the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, request to borrow a sword from the Barren State. A sword of the Sage Plane or above," Ye Futian continued.
"You need so many swords?" You Chi looked at Ye Futian. He had brought many ritual implements from Alchemy City, and it was only natural that he had a lot of swords.
"Yes, Uncle, you should also forge a ritual implement sword at the same time. Let the people of the Holy Zhi Palace gather the materials. Back in the Nether Sword Mound, I once activated the Sword Matrix of the Void. Although I did not fully control it, I more or less remembered some of it. I should be able to carve a sword matrix," Ye Futian said.
He had trained in matrices in the Chess Saint Villa and had consolidated his skills in the Nether Sword Mound. Now that he had entered the Archmage Plane, he could carve his own matrices.
"Alright, we'll do it now." You Chi nodded. Sword Demon, Xu Shang, and the others left to prepare for this matter.
Soon, the news spread throughout the Barren State.
Ye Futian was borrowing swords from the Barren State.
For a time, countless cultivators set off in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
…
It was not just the Barren State. After the saints returned to their holy lands, the news spread throughout the Nine States. The Nine States were shaken.
But the most shaken were the areas where the Hall of Holy Light, Xihua Sacred Mountain, and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were.
Saint Ji of the Hall of Holy Light ordered that the top forces of the Hall of Holy Light would be summoned to crusade against the Barren State.
Xihua Sacred Mountain ordered that all the forces under its jurisdiction gather at Xihua Sacred Mountain.
It was obvious that after the battle in the Imperial Mausoleum, both the Hall of Holy Light and Xihua Sacred Mountain had given the Barren State the highest priority. They did not just summon the cultivators of their holy lands to simply attack, but to gather all the forces within their holy lands.
For a time, a terrible storm swept through the Qi State and the Eastern State.
It seemed that the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State was doomed.
In the past, no one would have imagined that a crusade against a declining holy land of the Barren State would require so much attention.
A few years ago, Kong Yao alone had dared to wreak havoc in the Barren State with a group of cultivators from Zhisheng Cliffs.
…
Jixia Holy Palace, Qi State.
At this time, two figures were playing chess. One was dressed in white, holding a white piece, and the one opposite was dressed in black, the exact opposite, holding a black piece.
Both of them looked extraordinary, and behind the handsome young man in white, there was a gentle woman sitting quietly, watching the game.
"Brother, your heart doesn't seem to be on the chessboard." The man in black smiled as he placed his piece, looking up at the figure in white opposite him.
The young man in white looked at the chessboard, smiled, and placed his piece down, saying, "I've lost three games in a row."
"Is it because of the news from the Barren State?" the young man in black asked with a smile.
The man in white smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "As an abandoned piece, I should be considered out of the game. Why worry about it?"
"Why did you abandon the piece?" the man in black asked with a smile.
"Naturally, for a better game," the young man in white replied.
"If that's the case, if the chess game really turns for the better, then the abandonment of the chess piece will have its own meaning. At the very least, it will change the chess game and make the decision to abandon the chess piece. Isn't it understandable?" The man in black continued to smile.
Hearing his words, the young man in white trembled slightly. He looked at the figure in front of him, then turned around and left silently.
Had the game changed?
Since he left, the game of chess in the Barren State had, of course, changed.
After the young man in white left, another person came over. It was Zhuge Yi, who ranked third in the Nine State Forum of Xihua Sacred Mountain.
"Brother, why did you deliberately provoke Brother Bai?" Zhuge Yi asked.
"Your Brother Bai is extremely talented, but there is a demon in his heart that he can't get out of. It's like a dead game," the man in black said.
"But even if he gets rid of it, wouldn't it be dangerous?" Zhuge Yi asked.
"There can be no construction without destruction. Since he wants the Great Path, his state of mind should be flawless. If he can't take this step, the Divine Path will be flawed, and he will not be able to take that step," the man in black said. Zhuge Yi nodded lightly.
The man in white returned to his residence and sat in front of an old tree for three days. His cultivation broke through, and then he got up and left Jixia Holy Palace!
