The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2147: Bury the Hatchet

The father and son duo of Fang Gai and Fang Huan met up with Ye Futian and Old Ma. Fang Gai’s gaze fell on Ye Futian. His heart was filled with emotions. It looked like pushing Ye Futian for the position back then was the right choice. Nonetheless, the old him never would have anticipated something like this happening today.

Ye Futian attacked the ancient royal family alone to save the two of them. It was a battle between him and the ancient royal family of Duan’s overlord. While the battle had not yet ended completely, Ye Futian’s domineering and overbearing strength had completely convinced Duan Tianxiong, the overlord of the Duan family.

They naturally understood that Duan Tianxiong freeing the two of them early was due to Duan Tianxiong realizing Ye Futian’s limitless potential. He most likely did not want to become Ye Futian’s enemy in the future, which was why he took a step back and released the two of them early instead of letting the battle continue.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Fang Gai thanked Ye Futian.

“I’m just glad you’re both fine,” Ye Futian answered with a casual smile.

“I heard father said that Fang Cun had found himself a teacher. I was worried about who the teacher was; whether he could teach Fang Cun or not. But now, it looks like I worried for nothing. This is Fang Cun’s luck,” Fang Huan said, which made Ye Futian look toward him. While Fang Huan’s hair was a little messy, his outstanding aura could still be felt. His bright eyes and piercing gaze showed that he possessed an exceptional aura.

“Fang Cun is brilliant. He does not need much teaching,” answered Ye Futian with a chuckle.

Fang Huan nodded and bowed slightly to Old Ma. “Uncle Ma.”

“After several years of not seeing each other, I see that you’ve matured some more,” said Old Ma with a laugh. In truth, he had become very seasoned. Back when he left, he looked green and young, and traces of his age were nowhere to be found. It looked like he had experienced a lot over the past decade.

Then, at that moment, someone said, “Fang Huan.” They turned around to look at the source of the voice. It was Duan Tianxiong. Then, he said loudly, “With regards to the event of the past, both sides had faults. However, we will forget about it completely. Let’s treat it as if nothing had happened before and forget about everything. What do you say?”

Fang Huan nodded. “I was also in the wrong in that incident. Since Your Highness is willing to forget about it, I have no qualms about it.”

Both were exceptional people. They would not let themselves be tangled in something like that for a long time. Both sides had lost some face. However, now that they had both decided to take a step back to resolve this grudge match, they would not keep dwelling on it. They had at least that amount of magnanimity.

“Alright. Since that is settled, we understand that Mr. Ma and everyone from Four Corner Village came from afar. What say you we sit down, have a drink, and bury the hatchet? We can also use it to celebrate Four Corner Village’s entry into the world.” Duan Tianxiong said. Then, he asked, “What do you say?”

“If Your Highness is willing to hold a banquet, we would be honored to attend,” Old Ma replied. The implication of Duan Tianxiong holding a banquet for them was not only just that they had buried the hatchet, but there was also the recognition of Four Corner Village’s entry into the world. To the current Four Corner Village, it had an extraordinary meaning. Naturally, there was no downside to having an additional faction recognize them.

Perhaps enemies could become friends. Who’s to say what could happen? Now that they had entered the world to cultivate, it was natural that they had to consider many things.

“Very straightforward. Please, go ahead,” Duan Tianxiong said. After that, he strode downward.

Old Ma and the others followed behind. Inside and outside of the ancient royal family of Duan’s palace, all the practitioners felt as if they were inside a dream. A raging battle had suddenly de-escalated. In addition to that, the two sides involved in the battle decided to bury the hatchet just like that, and they were even going to drink liquor together.

Not long ago, Fang Gai was still a prisoner of the ancient royal family. Then, in the blink of an eye, he had become a VIP guest?

The switch of position was so drastic and fast that many still could not wrap their head around it.

And the one that caused all these to happen was not any of the big shots from the Four Corner Village. Instead, it was the exceptional and stylish white-haired youngster called Ye Futian.

His name would spread far and wide because of this battle. Moreover, it had made the overlord of the ancient royal family of Duan recognize his strength and want to interact with him.

Of course, considering the strength displayed by Ye Futian in the battle, Duan Tianxiong’s admiration and recognition of him was more than expected.

...

Inside the ancient royal family base, a banquet was set up in front of a large hall. All the core figures of the ancient royal family of Duan were present. The Duan ancient royal family overlord Duan Tianxiong, the crown prince Duan Qiong, and the prince Duan Yi and princess Duan Shang and others.

Duan Tianxiong sat in the main seat. The number one person on the guest side of the seats was Old Ma, and directly opposite him was the crown prince Duan Qiong.

After Old Ma, the seats were occupied by Fang Gai, Ye Futian, and the others.

Before long, delicacies and cuisine were served. Beautiful women surrounded them as food and liquor were served up. It was a very harmonious atmosphere. There were no signs of a battle or grudge remaining. It even looked as if they were friends who had come to visit.

“I’ve always had a wish to go walk around Four Corner Village and visit the master since a long time ago. However, due to the prohibition order, I have never been able to head there personally. Nonetheless, I have been an admirer of Four Corner Village for many years. I wanted to get my hands on the divine technique this time because the cultivation technique of our royal family is somewhat similar to one of the divine techniques of Four Corner Village. That’s why I wanted to take a look,” said Duan Tianxiong. He did not have any reservations and spoke his mind. Since they had already made peace with each other, there was no need to avoid the topic.

“Indeed.” Old Ma nodded. The divine technique inherited by the Shi Family was similar to the cultivation technique of the ancient royal family. It was also one of the seven great divine techniques passed down from their ancestors, the Starry War Song. Its attack power was extremely strong, and its impact frightening.

Naturally, Ye Futian also knew of this technique. He had even cultivated it a little.

“Many years ago, the Shangqing Domain was very respectful to Four Corner Village. Otherwise, we would not have sent people over there to obtain Great Path opportunities generation after generation. However, Four Corner Village’s decision to enter the world has caused many factions to raise their guard. That’s also one of the reasons why everyone keeps testing you. However, after today’s incident, we, the Duan family, are no longer an enemy of Four Corner Village,” Duan Tianxiong said. Then, he continued to say, “After drinking this cup, every unhappy thing or incident that took place in the past will no longer be brought up.”

As he spoke, he raised his cup to Old Ma and the others. Everyone raised their cups and drank their liquor all in one go. They smiled and forgot old grudges and all other unhappy things.

“The Four Corner Village itself is already very mysterious and powerful. I would never have thought that the Donghua Domain would send such an exceptional person away to the Four Corner Village. I wonder what Ning Yuan, the chief of the Donghua Domain’s main house, was thinking,” Duan Tianxiong said while looking at Ye Futian. He continued, “Did he not try to recruit you into the main house of the domain?”

He had heard of the incidents that took place in the Donghua Domain. It caused quite a ruckus. The Millet Emperor had started a war against the main house’s chief Ning Yuan behind the back of Wangshen Watchtower. As such, news of this had also spread to the other domains. The incident did not shine a very positive light on Ning Yuan. However, concerning the specifics of what had happened, that was unclear to Duan Tianxiong. After all, he did not try very hard to get the details.

“Elder, you might find this funny, but back when I accompanied Wangshen Watchtower to the Donghua Heavens to take part in the Donghua banquet organized by the domain’s main house, my original intention was to join the domain’s main house,” Ye Futian said while laughing at himself. Back then, he wanted to rely on the main house and deal with some potential threats.

“Oh?” Duan Tianxiong looked surprised. They did not take in a monstrously powerful person like him even when he went to them himself?

“In truth, before I participated in the Donghua banquet, the chief of the domain’s main house, Ning Yuan, had already allied with the Lingxiao Palace and the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family to deal with Wangshen Watchtower. However, Wangshen Watchtower only thought that the latter two were targeting them. They did not know that Ning Yuan was behind the plan. We went there without knowing it, but our enemies had already planned and set up everything in advance so that they could kill the practitioners of Wangshen Watchtower, including me,” answered Ye Futian.

“Understood,” Duan Tianxiong nodded. Then, he said, “That means that your respective positions were already set in stone before you’d even met. By the time Ning Yuan realized your talent, he would only want to kill you as soon as possible so that he may eliminate any future problems.”

“That’s right.” Ye Futian nodded.

“I’m afraid Ning Yuan will regret this in the future,” Duan Tianxiong said with a laugh. “If I were Ning Yuan, I would also most likely try to eliminate you. There would be too many future problems. You should be careful when you are moving about outside in the future.”

“This young one knows.” Ye Futian nodded. Naturally, he understood this.

“Now, you have Four Corner Village behind you. Even Ning Yuan would have to be cautious with you. I’m sure he isn’t very comfortable right now,” said Duan Tianxiong, laughing. It was easy for him to understand what Ning Yuan was feeling. When he made his decision earlier, he had considered similar factors.

“I noticed that you have quite a variety of cultivation techniques. I’m sure you did not only cultivate and train at Wangshen Watchtower, right? I’m guessing you were already pretty talented and amazing before that. Moreover, you also excel at alchemy. Do you not have your own family faction?” At that time, the crown prince Duan Qiong looked at and asked Ye Futian curiously.

“I come from the Original Realm,” Ye Futian replied. It was not a secret. Anyone would easily find out where he was from as long as they did some digging into the events that transpired in the Donghua Domain.

Duan Qiong was stunned. He had heard of the Original Realm before. He was quite shocked and never thought that Ye Futian was a practitioner from the Original Realm.

With that, everything was possible. They did not understand the Original Realm and only heard that the Original Realm was the source of everything. However, it had long waned. Many years ago, the channel to the Original Realm was opened. Many people went there to look for opportunities. That included some of the top factions of the Divine Prefecture. Of course, some of the factions already had ties with the Original Realm.

It looked like Ye Futian’s experiences were very complicated.

It was also impossible for them to know what kind of environment helped create such an exceptional person.

“Brother Ye’s cultivation techniques are incredibly powerful. You excel at multiple types of Great Path, and your strength is profound that you make us ashamed of ourselves,” said Duan Qiong. In the earlier battle, Ye Futian showed different types of power, and each one of them was very powerful.

“Your highness, your praise is too much,” answered Ye Futian with a chuckle.

“You’re both going to be the best of the best in the future. You should interact with each other more,” said Duan Tianxiong. He hoped that Ye Futian could become friends with his offspring.

“Most certainly. Moreover, I sure had some luck with brother Duan and Princess Shang,” said Ye Futian while laughing. He raised his cup apologetically to the two.

“What the grandmaster said is right,” Duan Yi raised his cup while smiling forcefully. He spoke and ridiculed himself a little.

“Your highness the prince and princess, I hope you don’t bear a grudge,” said Ye Futian apologetically. Then, he raised his cup and drank it all in one shot. The two also drank their cups. The situation had already reached this stage, so it was natural for them to keep the past in the past. Moreover, the issue between them was not big.

“Haha!” Duan Tianxiong found the young ones interesting and let out a hearty laugh. After that, he looked at Old Ma and Fang Gai. Then, he raised his cup and said, “We will drink too!”

Old Ma and Fang Gai raised their cups and drank together. The banquet was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere was excellent. Seeing the atmosphere at the banquet, no one would have been able to guess that the two sides were engaged in a huge battle that shook the entire continent!
