Chapter 2385: Exchange?
Ye Futian lowered his head. Terrifying light shone in his pupils. He looked at the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture down below and questioned them, “The sparring that you so wished has ended. What else do you plan to do?”
Yu Sheng, in his demonic G.o.d form, similarly stared at the cultivators below. His jet-black demonic eyes were frightening. The demonic cultivators who came along with him immediately rose to the sky and scanned across the s.p.a.ce.
This scene caused the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture to reveal strange expressions. Yu Sheng and Ye Futian were very close; they were sworn brothers who had been through various life-or-death situations together. If the cultivators chose to attack Ye Futian, they would most likely face Yu Sheng. The cultivators from the Devil World might intervene in the battle directly.
Moreover, Yu Sheng seemed to have an extraordinary status in the Devil World. The crowd could deduce many things based on their battle just now. Yu Sheng mastered a few magnum opuses of the Devil Emperor. Besides that, he controlled the Demonic Mail and had the Will of the Demonic G.o.ds. Judging from these, they could tell Yu Sheng’s status in the Devil World. He might be more than just a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor. Perhaps Yu Sheng was one of the potential successors chosen by him.
If Yu Sheng had a strong influence in the Devil World, he might even be capable of mobilizing their troops. If that were the case, then even the top forces of the Divine Prefecture would not be able to withstand him and his army.
“Renhuang Ye, you regard yourself as a cultivator of the Divine Prefecture, and you have said that we should unite to fight against the forces of the other worlds. However, are you in cahoots with the cultivators from the Devil World now?” said someone from the crowd. The speaker had purposely hidden his exact location as he was afraid of offending Ye Futian and his alliances. n.o.body knew who started this rumor of Ye Futian being in cahoots with the cultivators from the Devil World.
Ye Futian scanned the crowd below with a cold gaze. Had these cultivators from the Divine Prefecture actually been treating him as one of them?
They joined forces to attack him, and they showed no hesitation in killing him.
From the direction where the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were, a cold voice sounded, “All of you came to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, and the top figures from the Divine Prefecture joined forces to attack the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, who is but a seventh-tier Renhuang. Did you consider the unity of the Divine Prefecture when you committed such a shameless act? College Chief and Yu Sheng are good friends, to begin with. There’s no such thing as being in cahoots. All of you are good at victim-blaming. The top figures from the Divine Prefecture have lost this battle. If you are still unwilling to let it go, then attack us as you desire. You do not need to find any more baseless excuses to justify your actions.”
When the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy heard these words, they put on cold expressions. They were all angry. The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture were indeed pus.h.i.+ng things too far. Up until this point, they were still looking for excuses for their overbearing actions.
A chuckle could be heard. It was actually from the direction where the cultivators of the West Imperial Palace stood. Xi Chiyao said with a smile, “Today, we have all witnessed that Renhuang Ye’s temperament is exceptional among that of the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture. The Divine Prefecture is fortunate to have such a talented figure. He will surely become a pillar of the prefecture. Renhuang Ye has proven himself in this battle. There’s no need to persist in fighting. Everyone, why don’t we stop here?”
When the members of the Divine Prefecture heard Xi Chiyao’s words, their gazes turned somewhat cold. This Xi Chiyao was a schemer to speak out for Ye Futian now. Before this, she also agreed to join the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. Ye Futian had also approved her request. When they saw Ye Futian’s terrifying potential, the West Imperial Palace must have wanted to win him over.
Yet another large group of cultivators arrived. They were the cultivators from the Lost Clan who rushed here from the neighboring Shenyi Continent. They stood high in the sky and looked at the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. One of them said, “What happened today is exactly the same as what happened to the Lost Clan before this. Now, the Lost Clan has forged an alliance with the Heavenly Mandate Academy, and all of us are part of the Divine Prefecture. If other forces from the Divine Prefecture still can’t accept us, then we have no choice but to fight it out.”
The cultivators of the Lost Clan and the Heavenly Mandate Academy were now in the same boat. If something bad were to happen to Ye Futian, the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture would similarly exclude the Lost Clan.
When the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture saw this scene, their determination to get rid of Ye Futian wavered. They all had different thoughts.
Currently, Ye Futian and his alliances were much weaker than the collective forces of the Divine Prefecture, but the latter was not of a single mind. It was impossible for all of them to attack at once. After all, they belonged to different factions.
If the forces from the Divine Prefecture attacked separately, they would most likely have a difficult time going against the Lost Clan. Moreover, them attacking Ye Futian now posed the risk of them offending Yu Sheng.
Therefore, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture were all contemplating what would happen if they declared war on Ye Futian now. What would Princess Donghuang think of this incident?
Right then, an extremely domineering aura churned, and divine light radiated. Everyone looked down below. They noticed a man dressed in long golden robes standing in a corner. His aura was frightening, and it covered this part of the sky within a split second. It enveloped the entire s.p.a.ce.
“He is the Lord of the Tianyan City and the head of w.a.n.g family,” someone said.
The hearts of the crowd trembled when they saw him. He was undoubtedly a giant-level figure in the Divine Prefecture and one of the few who stood at the peak. He was at the strongest level beneath the Great Emperor level. He was a super cultivator who had survived the second divine tribulation of the Great Path.
Hence, everyone could sense his sharp aura as soon as he unleashed it.
The Tianyan Domain gained its fame due to Tianyan the Great, one of the Great Emperors in the past. The Tianyan City was the center of the domain. Even the Domain Chief’s Manor had to give face to the cultivators of the Tianyan City. This Ancient G.o.d Clan was definitely the absolute rule of the Tianyan Domain. They had the final say in the domain.
The Tianyan City had high status because they were the top force in manufacturing weapons. All the cultivators of the Tianyan City were proud; one could tell based on w.a.n.g Mian’s att.i.tude just now.
The Lord of the Tianyan City was certainly an authoritative figure in the Divine Prefecture.
Right now, he had actually stepped out to meddle in this affair. Things were getting more and more interesting.
With his status, he most likely feared no one.
“w.a.n.g Mian, stand down,” commanded the Lord of the Tianyan City while looking at the sky above. Immediately, w.a.n.g Mian descended and stood in front of the Lord with his head down. Even though w.a.n.g Mian was a Renhuang at the peak of the ninth-tier, he showed no sign of arrogance when faced with the Lord. The Lord was the ruler of Tianyan City.
The Lord didn’t look at w.a.n.g Mian. Instead, he raised his head and gazed at Ye Futian and Yu Sheng. He had observed the entire battle just now. Even though the flesh of Shenjia the Great Emperor was but a corpse, it was the divine body of a G.o.d. It could actually penetrate the Heaven Tempering Divine Matrix and forcefully stop the divine method.
Most likely, a super divine matrix was hidden in this divine body.
The Lord of the Tianyan City said, “Little Friend Ye, w.a.n.g Mian has acted recklessly before this. But the Tianyan City is indeed very interested in the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Can you lend me the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor? I’ll surely return it to you. The Tianyan City is willing to exchange it with you using imperial arms.” His words caused the hearts of the rest of the cultivators to skip a beat.
Exchanging the sacred remains with imperial arms?
The Lord of the Tianyan City was very open about the fact that his force owned imperial arms. As the top weapon-forging force in the Divine Prefecture and the successor of the teachings of a Great Emperor who was good at weapon forging, the Tianyan City was indeed the force with the largest amount of divine arms.
However, was the value of imperial arms equivalent to that of the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor?
Imperial arms were divine arms that were infused with the will of the Great Emperors. If the weapon contained a strong will, it was indeed very powerful, and its value was no less than that of the sacred remains!
