The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2085: The Plan

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The assassination of the wedding party from the ancient royal family of Yan’s had caused great upheaval in the Donghua Domain. The news of the pending marital alliance between the two major principalities had already spread throughout the domain, and Lingxiao Palace had made all the preparation. Everyone was looking forward to the grand occasion when these two forces would be joined together.

However, no one could have predicted that after all these times, Ye Futian would surface again. And they would never have thought that soon as he appeared, he would slaughter the army of the ancient royal family of Yan, announcing his existence by taking the life of the Crown Prince, Yan Zhu.

The alliance of marriage between the Great Kingdom of Yan and Lingxiao Palace was effectively destroyed. With the death of the person who was to be married, it was impossible to change to another set of people to complete the alliance.

This was a blow that neither force could afford to let go of. They couldn’t very well continue with someone else marrying the Princess of Lingxiao Palace and have her become the laughing stock of the Donghua Domain. Everyone understood that this was the end of the attempt to form an alliance via marriage.

Both families were angry beyond words and had dispatched their people to Tianchi Continent to investigate. Once they learned of Ye Futian’s strength and his companions had accumulated, they sent a powerful team to search for them. At the same time, the Domain Chief’s Manor reissued the wanted order, stating that Ye Futian was ruthless beyond doubt and had slaughtered the cultivators of Donghua Domain indiscriminately and that he must be brought to justice. The Domain Chief’s Manor sent out the Donghua Army to assist in the search.

However, the Donghua Domain was much too vast, with countless continents. Even if the Domain Chief’s Manor wanted to find them, it would be a difficult task.

Unless the area could be shut down and searched in person by the masters, continent by continent, it would be impossible. But this would be a long and arduous process. Nevertheless, this incident had sounded the alarm for these top principalities that Ye Futian and his companions were still running amok.

Out there, it was not just Ye Futian and the others, but the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng were still alive as well. If they went out to search, they could not predict what would happen. They must proceed with extreme caution.

After all, Emperor Yan and Ling Yunzi by themselves could not guarantee a victory against the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng, not when the Millet Emperor was also carrying the Watchtower.

Who knew if they were still in Donghua Domain or not?

...

On the other hand, Ye Futian and the others left Tianchi Continent after killing Yan Zhu and his companions, returning with due speed. After all, no one knew whether the masters themselves would be coming, so leaving quickly after such a surprise attack was necessary.

At this moment, a group of people was shuttling through the mists of the clouds. But Ye Futian’s brows were slightly knit as he felt something faintly out of order. He said, “The elder who is with us, please show yourself so we may pay our respect?”

He had felt several times that someone was following them, which made him uneasy. Someone whose presence was difficult to detect must be a cultivator whose level was far above his, at least a Ninth Realm of Renhuang.

“You guys are ballsy.” A voice came just as Ye Futian saw a ray of light blooming. A figure appeared in front of Ye Futian and others. It was Li Changsheng.

“Senior brother.” Ye Futian was stunned but then smiled. He didn’t expect to see Li Changsheng here.

“Junior Brother Ye, you guys were a little impulsive this time,” said Li Changsheng, and Ye Futian understood. Their hunt this time was full of risks. Although they had observed that Emperor Yan did not accompany the ancient royal family to escort them personally, the probability still existed, no matter how small it was.

Once such minute possibility became a reality, the situation would become extremely dangerous, with a genuine possibility of a catastrophe of the greatest degree, hence Li Changshengs comment that they were somewhat impulsive.

“It seems that even if we didn’t do it, the senior brother would have done it,” Ye Futian smiled at Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng’s temperament had gone through some great changes after his breakthrough. Nowadays, there was no smile on his face, which made him look a little colder, and he exuded authority without needing to be emotional.

What happened back then had influenced him profoundly.

“When Junior Brother Zong Chan was killed, over half of Wangshen Watchtower’s cultivators were butchered and injured. Now that the Great Kingdom of Yan and Lingxiao Palace wanted to ally? I won’t let them succeed so easily,” said Li Changsheng. Even if Ye Futian and the others did not take action, he would have killed them himself with no care for the consequence.

Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and it was an alliance of marriage between these two major enemies.

“Senior brother, do you have any news about the Millet Emperor?” Ye Futian asked.

Li Changsheng shook his head, “After I left Wangshen Watchtower, I left the Donghua Domain behind as well. I was able to stabilize my realm while in the outside world, but I had no news of Master. Master was seriously wounded in that battle, so it must have taken him some time to recover. No news is good news.”

Ye Futian nodded. In light of Li Changsheng’s breakthrough in cultivation, it was understandable for him to leave the Donghua Domain. After all, the Donghua Domain still posed a considerable threat.

“Where were you guys all these years?” Li Changsheng asked.

“Turtle Deity Island,” said Ye Futian. “Emperor Xi ordered his disciples to assist us, and after that, we have stayed on Turtle Deity Island to cultivate ever since then.”

Li Changsheng was deeply moved when he heard what Ye Futian said. It turned out that Emperor Xi had been helping. In this case, Ye Futian was safe indeed.

“Let’s go. I will follow you guys to Turtle Deity Island,” Li Changsheng said as Ye Futian nodded. The group immediately set off in the direction of Turtle Deity Island. With Li Changsheng leading the way, the time for them to get back was greatly reduced.

On Eastern Deity Island, Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord seemed to have felt Li Changsheng’s presence as they walked out to the courtyard to receive them. Looking into the distance, they saw Li Changsheng had returned with Ye Futian and the others.

“Greetings to Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord.” Although Li Changsheng broke through the realm, he paid respect to both men as elders. Aside from the fact that he himself was of a later generation, he was grateful that Emperor Xi had helped them in their time of need.

“You are a cultivator of this level now and need not be so formal,” said Emperor Xi with a smile. But the fact was that even if Li Changsheng broke the realm, he was not yet at the same level as him. Emperor Xi possessed the perfect Great Path and had passed the first level of divine tribulation.

“Changsheng thanks you for taking care of my brothers,” Li Changsheng said as he bowed.

Emperor Xi didn’t say anything more but asked, “Is there any news from the Millet Emperor?”

At Donghua Banquet last time, the Millet Emperor carried the Watchtower to the Domain Chief’s Manor to fight all three top masters. He had witnessed the battle and must admit that that kind of courage was commendable. Especially considering it was his own disciples that he was fighting for, Emperor Xi respected the Millet Emperor tremendously for what he did.

Not many cultivators would do that.

The Millet Emperor had risked his life in that battle.

Li Changsheng shook his head.

Emperor Xi looked at him and said, “No matter, the Millet Emperor has the watchtower in his hands, and there won’t be many who could overpower him in the Divine Prefecture. Perhaps he is somewhere nursing his injuries. He will appear sooner or later.”

“Mmm.” Li Changsheng nodded.

“What are your plans for the future?” Emperor Xi asked Li Changsheng again.

But Li Changsheng looked at Ye Futian and the others instead and asked, “Junior Ye, what do you think?”

“I have been relying on the kindness and care of Emperor Xi these years and have been cultivating in retreat on Turtle Deity Island. Now, I can deal with common Renhuang in the Ninth Realm. This interception to extinguish those from the Great Kingdom of Yan also indicated my own willingness to go out and explore the world,” Ye Futian said. They couldn’t cultivate on Turtle Deity Island forever.

“Have you thought of where you wanted to go?” Li Changsheng asked.

Ye Futian shook his head. He hadn’t thought much of anything for the time being.

“Go to the other domains.” Li Changsheng said, “I have been out and about these past few years. The Divine Prefecture is so vast; even Donghua Domain is but one out of the 18 domains. Not to mention, Donghua Domain is no longer a place for you to stay. So, go to other places for trials, and try to raise your cultivation to Upper Renhuang as soon as possible.”

Ye Futian understood Li Changsheng’s meaning. Now that he had offended the three top forces in Donghua Domain, he couldn’t achieve much here. If he caused any further disturbances, the Domain Chief’s Manor would get wind of it, and he would be on the run again.

Now, leaving Donghua Domain seemed a wise choice.

“Brother, do you have an idea?” Ye Futian asked Li Changsheng.

“Mmm.” Li Changsheng nodded. “I will take you with me. Afterward, while I investigate the whereabouts of the master, others can stay here in the Donghua Domain. But your case is a little special, junior brother.”

Everyone understood Li Changsheng’s concern. Ye Futian’s achievement was too outstanding, which made him really conspicuous. The three top forces had set on killing him, so he was the most unsuited out of everyone here to remain in Donghua Domain.

“Yes,” Ye Futian nodded.

Emperor Xi and the Thunder Punishing Skylord listened without saying anything, but both smiled. Li Changsheng had high hopes for Ye Futian, who was his junior brother, and wanted to train him to become stronger.

After all, everyone understood that even if Ye Futian had elevated his strength greatly, and Li Changsheng had now stepped into another level, revenge was no easy matter; it was nearly impossible to achieve it. Li Changsheng’s breakthrough gave them a glimmer of hope, but it couldn’t be done now, not even with the Millet Emperor adding to the mix.

Therefore, Li Changsheng hoped that Ye Futian would be stronger. Li Changsheng could see the hope in him, the hope to strike back at the Great Kingdom of Yan, Ling Xiao Palace, even the Domain Chief’s Manor!
