Ye Futian did not care much about others’ opinions. The Violet Heavenly Palace prevented him from using Thunder Laws, so he wouldn’t run into those Thunder Law cultivators in the future.
It didn’t matter what others thought of him.
“It seems that I have brought you trouble,” the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord said to Ye Futian, standing at his side. What he did seemed to have some influence on Ye Futian.
“It doesn’t matter. Sir, please don’t pay it any mind,” Ye Futian replied. He understood what the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord meant. He was trying to help him, so no matter whether it worked or out, it was a favor.
Besides, he held no hostility towards those demon princes.
This was the Demon Realm’s territory. Instead of harming any cultivators who came here, they set up a demon matrix in the celestial demon arena for those who wanted to challenge.
It would’ve been the same if demon beasts came to the world of human cultivators.
It was perhaps because of Emperor Ye Qing and the old dragon that he even felt close to the fierce-looking Thunder G.o.d clan.
“Let’s find a place to rest first and come again tomorrow,” Ye Futian said. Soon the whole group left.
The group of demon beasts and the group of human cultivators scattered. After leaving, many human cultivators gathered to prepare to break the demon matrix.
These three demon matrixes were carefully designed by the four demon royal clans of the Celestial Demon City to be challenging to pa.s.s. Unless they were the warriors of the highest forces like the Violet Heavenly Palace, anyone who challenged it alone would fail. If they instead united as one, their chances of breaking the matrix would’ve increased.
The Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord helped Ye Futian find a place to settle. In the courtyard, they sat there and casually spoke to each other with Qingyang He also present. She kept asking Ye Futian about their cultivation methods, then eventually talked mostly with Qi Xuangang. She discovered that among these people, Qi Xuanzhang was the most proficient in cultivation practice.
“Miss Qingyang likes to learn,” Ye Futian said with a smile.
“She always wanted to go to the human world for cultivation, but I don’t allow her because it is too risky. Now that she has met you, she would never pa.s.s up this opportunity,” the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord said with a smile.
“I also have a demon beast friend, but he is very foppish and hates learning. He should be here today,” Ye Futian said, laughing. He and Little Condor could mentally connect with each other, so he knew he was on the way. The Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor took them here in person.
Now they had reached the Heavenly Mandate Realm and were approaching the Demon Realm. It wouldn’t have been long before they arrived.
Xia Qingyuan suddenly turned her eyes to Ye Futian and asked, “Is that guy coming?”
“Um…”
Ye Futian saw Xia Qingyuan’s expression. What was that reaction?
Why did it feel so weird?
Thinking of Little Condor’s tragic life in the Emperor Xia’s Palace, Ye Futian didn’t know how he would act upon seeing Xia Qingyuan again.
“Well, Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor His Majesty took them here personally. Little Condor said that the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor His Majesty wanted to travel here, too,” Ye Futian said. Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor had unified a large demon realm and claimed kings.h.i.+p there; he must’ve felt lonely sometimes.
Here was the real domain of the demon clan.
“In other words, Kong Xuan will also come,” Xia Qingyuan said. Ye Futian looked at her; women’s angle to observe things was always special.
Was it because of Kong Xuan’s beauty after her transformation that made her feel uneasy?
At that time, Xia Qingyuan and Kong Xuan were compared by many people. They also attended the battle of Empty Realm of the same year.
“Yes,” Ye Futian said, nodding.
Xia Qingyuan’s eyes moved away from Ye Futian with a strange look. She thought to herself, “What would Kong Xuan be doing here?”
As the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord beside them heard their conversation, he began to feel that Ye Futian was unusual. Even a demon emperor came here in person for him?
It seemed that Ye Futian was not simple at all.
After a long while, Ye Futian stayed in the courtyard and quietly cultivated. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked up into the distance, smiling.
Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord’s body flashed and soon he arrived.
After some time, Qi Xuangang and Xia Qingyuan and others also came out. They all felt the presence of an unusual life force.
A rush of life force came from a distance. Soon, a gust of wind pa.s.sed by, and a group of people showed up in the sky above the courtyard.
The man who took the lead had an unusual temperament, standing in the vacant sky with his hands behind his back.
A slender beautiful lady and a demon beast stood to the left and right to him, with plenty of warriors behind them.
The Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor was here.
Ye Futian stood up and took a bow as a salute, “Ye Futian is here to salute Your Majesty.”
“Your Majesty,” Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord and the warriors saluted. They all needed to show respect for a figure of the demon emperor level.
The Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor nodded slightly and said, “I didn’t expect that you would come to the territory of the Demon Realm. During this trip, I sent Kong Xuan and Condor here. Kong Xuan can stay with you for some time, while I go somewhere in the Demon Realm.
“Aye,” Ye Futian answered and nodded. The Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor must’ve also been acquainted with some other demon emperors.
“Take care of the princess,” the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor said to the demon beasts behind him. Afterward, he lifted the sleeve and s.h.i.+ned the divine light, allowing him to instantly vanish.
After the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor left, Black Wind Condor turned his head to confirm that he had already left. Seeing he had left, the Condor finally let out a breath. His sharp eyes blinked as he flapped his wings and flew in front of Ye Futian. He said, “Boss, did you miss me?”
“Do you think I did?” Ye Futian said, smiling. “Why don’t you transform?”
Little Condor now was a Demon Saint; he had become a big demon beast.
“Nah, my human face is too handsome and will outs.h.i.+ne yours,” said the Black Wind Condor, laughing. Ye Futian smiled; he was cheeky as always.
Black Wind Condor looked at Xia Qingyuan and said, “Haven’t seen you in so long, Your Highness. You still look as stunning…” He keenly looked around her to make sure no warriors of the Emperor Xia’s Realm were around. After he confirmed this, he added, “…and manly as always.”
Xia Qingyuan raised her eyelids and blankly glanced at Black Wind Condor. He had gained more confidence since he became a Demon Saint.
“Where is Your Highness’s mount Green Phoenix? I was planning on talking with him about life,” said Black Wind Condor, gritting his teeth. He could never forget the humiliation of being repeatedly ridden; he had sworn he must ride on it one day.
“You can go to Emperor Xia’s Palace and talk with it when you have time,” Xia Qingyuan said with a disdainful look.
“Sure,” Black Wind Condor replied pretentiously. He took a glance back at Kong Xuan and then said to Ye Futian, “Oh yeah. Boss, Princess Kong Xuan missed you so much. She kept asking me when I would come to you. Had it not been for Princess Kong Xuan, I would have been cultivating for a longer time.”
“Eh …” Ye Futian was dumbfounded. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
Behind him, Kong Xuan was also speechless.
Since when did she always want to come to Ye Futian?
What was he talking about?
“Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Kong Xuan said coldly. This guy was too…
Ye Futian was also speechless. He knew enough about Little Condor’s character to think he did it for a reason.
“It’s not nonsense. Didn’t Her Highness always miss my master when she was in the demon emperor realm? Her Highness talked about my master in front of His Majesty every day, about how outstanding my master’s talent is and how she hoped to go outside for cultivation. Otherwise, why did His Majesty leave directly after he escorted Princess here?” Black Wind Condor said seriously. “His Majesty was trying to create this opportunity for Her Highness.”
Kong Xuan was dumbfounded.
How could he tell lies like this?
Just then, Xia Qingyuan suddenly cut in, “You have entered the Saint Plane and become a saint in the Demon Emperor’s Realm. You must have made great progress.”
Black Wind Condor raised his head and said proudly, “Of course.”
“Let me test how your cultivation abilities have grown over these years for your master,” Xia Qingyuan said, walking towards Black Wind Condor. Black Wind Condor still held his head high, thinking he wasn’t a coward.
Did she think he was still the same as before?
Light flashed by, and a divine instrument showed up in Xia Qingyuan’s hand. It was a dazzling golden lotus flower, and the life force emitting from it contained a wisp of Renhuang Will. The Might shrouded Black Wind Condor’s body.
Black Wind Condor blinked and staring at Xia Qingyuan with a stunned look, “Your Highness, what do you mean?”
“Since Lord Condor’s talent is so outstanding, I have to choose a special way to test your ability,” Xia Qingyuan said coldly. Black Wind Condor felt the pressure and nearly cried; his proud look suddenly disappeared as he said, “I haven’t seen Princess Qingyuan for so many years, but you still look so gorgeous. Your beauty is unparalleled among the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Law.”
“Ahem…” the Verdant Gazelle Palace Lord remained there quietly, but he could no longer help making the sound.
This guy was bizarre.
Ye Futian rubbed his head, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
Xia Qingyuan didn’t just let Black Wind Condor go and walked towards him step by step. Black Wind Condor and hid behind Ye Futian while s.h.i.+vering
“Slap!”
Ye Futian slapped him on the head and admonished, “If you talk nonsense again, we will have bird barbecue tonight.”
“Ehh …” Black Wind Condor looked at Ye Futian pitifully.
Had this woman taken away his master’s heart when the Condor was not here?
“This brat is getting more and more undisciplined. Don’t take it personally,” Ye Futian said to Xia Qingyuan. Xia Qingyuan looked at Ye Futian and put away the divine instrument before coldly glancing at Black Wind Condor.
At that moment, Black Wind Condor had transformed into a human form. Ye Futian turned back to see him looking like a young man with a sharp mouth, a long nose, and a protruding forehead.
“You can just turn back, please,” said Ye Futian. He couldn’t bear to look at this guy’s hideous face.
Even so, his face astounded him!
Black Wind Condor was confused. He might’ve not been as handsome as his master, but was he that hideous?
With this in mind, he turned his human head into the condor head but kept the human body, Ye Futian nodded and said, “This is much more pleasing to our eyes.”
Black Wind Condor was speechless.
Someone patted Black Wind Condor’s shoulder and said, “You are the most special transformed demon beast that I have ever seen.” Irritated, Lord Condor turned around wanting to teach him a lesson, but suddenly fell quiet when he saw the person’s face.
Sir Yu, since when did you begin to make jokes?
“Okay, behave yourself from now on,” Ye Futian said. He looked at Kong Xuan and said, “Thank you and Your Majesty for taking care of him over these years.”
“No worries,” said Kong Xuan, shaking her head. “In return, may I stay with you for a while?”
“Of course, you can,” Black Wind Condor cut in quickly but chose to not speak upon meeting Xia Qingyuan’s cold glances.
“Isn’t it better to have Her Highness help us?” Ye Futian said, laughing. Kong Xuan also brought plenty of warriors with her that could help each other. Since they also belonged to the demon clan, it would’ve also been more convenient to travel with them in this territory!
