Chapter 2515: Facing A Great Enemy
After Ye Futian killed Qin Luo, he went to several other strongholds of the Domain Chief’s Manor in West Sea Domain. There, not only did he slaughtered many more cultivators who belonged to the Domain Chief’s Manor, but these people were also from the main lineage of Chief Xihai.
Buddha’s Celerity allowed Ye Futian to appear in different locations within a very short period to a.s.sa.s.sinate these people. Therefore, the Domain Chief’s Manor did not have enough time to respond properly.
Yingzhou City, in the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor, a horrifying aura permeated the boundless s.p.a.ce, and a frightening divine consciousness covered the entire Yingzhou City. In the Domain Chief’s Manor, Chief Xihai himself stood high above the sky; the aura coming from him was beyond terrifying.
Although he was in Yingzhou City, his divine consciousness couldn’t watch over everything happening inside the city. He was cultivating in retreat when he was told by the cultivators from Domain Chief’s Manor that Ye Futian was already in Yingzhou for revenge.
He had actually come to the West Sea Domain from the Original Realm to his lair. This was impertinent and unthinkable.
Many cultivators appeared in the Domain Chief’s Manor, and all of them had levitated into the sky. They had received the news that Ye Futian had come for them and had already killed many of their colleagues inside the Domain Chief’s Manor.
At the same time when this horrific aura appeared, Ye Futian had already appeared on the surface of the West Sea. He raised his head and looked into the distance, specifically in the direction of the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor, and sensed the divine consciousness of Chief Xihai. Across the infinite void, the two seemed to be looking at one another.
A monstrous aura swept in, causing the entire West Sea to rage, rolling and roaring madly.
Boom! Chief Xihai moved. He disappeared from the Domain Chief’s Manor. At this moment, the vast and endless region of Yingzhou City felt the fury of Chief Xihai. A youngster had chased him from the Original Realm to his home base, hunting down the cultivators inside his house, the Domain Chief’s Manor!
The moment he moved, Ye Futian readily disappeared from where he was. After a moment, Chief Xihai appeared on the surface of the sea as well, now frozen thousands of miles in radius, as the endless sea had turned into pure ice. Many cultivators on the sea were also sealed shut within the ice, but Ye Futian was no longer in this frozen domain.
Buzz… A terrifying storm pa.s.sed through, shattering the ice. The hearts of all the cultivators trembled fiercely. When they turned their heads and looked further away, they saw that the West Sea kept freezing and spreading into the distance.
Some people still didn’t know what had happened, but some did know that it was Chief Xihai chasing Ye Futian, wanting to control the other’s movement.
The cultivators who happened to pa.s.s by were all petrified to their bones.
This time, could Chief Xihai take down Ye Futian?
It didn’t take long for them to know the answer. A horrible aura came from the sea to the Domain Chief’s Manor. Everyone could perceive an extremely terrifying and furious murderous intent. Obviously, Chief Xihai did not take down Ye Futian!
Chief Xihai himself was sitting inside the Domain Chief’s Manor, but he could not get a hold of Ye Futian.
What did this mean?
It meant that Ye Futian could intercept and kill the cultivators from the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor whenever he wanted, and the Domain Chief’s Manor could do absolutely nothing to him.
If Chief Xihai had known this would happen, would he still be that thoughtless and cruel and kill Ye Futian’s demonic beast all over again?
What happened on Yingzhou Island quickly spread throughout the island, even to the surrounding islands, and then to all other parts of the Western Sea Domain.
The Chief of Western Sea Domain had provoked the wrong person, who was now responsible for the killing spree inside Yingzhou City.
…
Canghuan West Imperial Palace was once a glorious and majestic imperial palace, ancient and magnificent, extending downward, like an ancient imperial city.
At the top of the staircase, a group of people was walking down the steps. Among them was a woman with extraordinary temperament and stunning beauty. If Ye Futian were here, he would have definitely recognized this woman. She was none other than the G.o.ddess of West Imperial Palace, Xi Chiyao—the most powerful heir of the West Emperor.
Around Xi Chiyao were many great figures from the West Imperial Palace; even powerful existences of the Tribulation Plane were amongst them. This was the core of the Ancient G.o.d Clan.
Xi Chiyao, as the most powerful heir of the West Emperor, had obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor, so her position in the West Imperial Palace was lofty and well-respected. When she went to the Original Realm, she was the center of that delegation.
Presently, laughter, like a silver bell, came from Xi Chiyao. A look of brilliance flashed through her beautiful eyes as she looked into the distance and whispered, “If that battle between Ye Futian and I had continued, the one who lost would no doubt be me. This man has been received the inheritances of several Great Emperors, so how could his fame be in vain? I didn’t expect that he would have gone to the Western World of Buddhism and cultivated one of the six superpowers—the Buddha’s Celerity from the Spirit Mountain. I was right about him. It’s a pity that he is the heir of Emperor Ye Qing; otherwise, I could have gotten much closer to him back then.”
Because of the relations.h.i.+p between Emperor Ye Qing and Donghuang the Great, it was destined that no one dared to get too close to Ye Futian so as not to offend the Imperial Palace. After all, Donghuang the Great was the Master of the Divine Prefecture. Who wouldn’t be cautious?
“Chief Xihai would have never thought that in just ten or 20 years, a Level-Eight Renhuang would have grown to this point, that even he could not take him down.” An old man next to her laughed, “Chief Qin was accustomed to having his way; it was his habit to do whatever he wanted. Because he wanted to take Ye Futian immediately, he resorted to extreme measures without considering the consequences. Now, he has become a laughingstock everywhere. I am sure he is quite mad about that.”
Everyone laughed. Besides marveling at Ye Futian’s extraordinary strength, this incident was indeed quite ironic. It was hard for Chief Xihai not to become the b.u.t.t of the joke in this matter, but it was something that he had instigated himself, now he was unable to resolve it.
Judging from Ye Futian’s att.i.tude, he clearly didn’t intend to let the matter go so easily, and he would continue to watch the Domain Chief’s Manor in West Sea Domain.
On the contrary, Chief Xihai could do nothing to him. As for going over to Ye Futian’s home base, the Ziwei Segmentum, for revenge… Would he dare?
It was truly Ye Futian’s territory. He could leverage the will of the Great Emperor to move the stars in the heavens.
If he were to go, he might never be able to come back.
“With his personality, how could he let this go? This time, Chief Xihai probably will not be able to finish this his way.” Xi Chiyao looked quite blasé as she said this with a laugh. “Let’s go. Let’s go to Yingzhou and take a look.”
“This…” The people around her glanced at each other, then smiled and responded, “It won’t hurt to go take a look.”
Chief Xihai was an extremely proud and arrogant individual. Since becoming the Chief of West Sea Domain and as the head of the Domain Chief’s Manor, he was polite enough to the West Imperial Palace on the outside. However, everyone knew that Chief Xihai always intended for the Domain Chief’s Manor to replace the Western Imperial Palace in the West Sea Domain.
Since Xi Chiyao was interested this time, it wouldn’t hurt for them to go and take a look-see.
“Let’s go straight away, then.” Xi Chiyao was fast on the move. She levitated directly into the void, heading outside of West Imperial Palace, cultivators around her trailing behind.
“What do you guys think about Ye Futian?” Xi Chiyao asked.
“Incredibly talented. Perhaps no one can compare with him in the entire Divine Prefecture. However, it’s truly a pity…” an old man said, not finis.h.i.+ng his sentence.
“What pity is that?” Xi Chiyao asked.
“It’s a pity that he is the heir of Emperor Ye Qing, so he is destined not to be able to fulfill the full potential of his cultivation. Otherwise, with his talents, he would be cultivating in Donghuang Imperial Palace by now. He may even be taken in by the Great Emperor as a personal disciple. I heard that Princess Donghuang had taken a liking to him once,” the old man next to her said.
“It’s quite a pity if you put it like that.” Xi Chiyao smiled and continued, “Such a talented cultivator is indeed rare in the world, and he is also incredibly handsome to boot, an ideal Path Companion…”
Everyone next to her was quite stunned by her conclusion. Indeed, the G.o.ddess’s thinking was genuinely different from ordinary folks’!
However, from the perspective of seeking a Path Companion, there was almost no one existing in the West Sea who could be worthy of Xi Chiyao. Ye Futian was a suitable candidate in that aspect. After cultivating to their level, looking for a Path Companion was no longer something that involved love and feelings.
Especially as the successor of the Ancient G.o.d Clan, strength and power were a serious consideration, meaning that even more outstanding progenies may be produced.
Therefore, from this perspective, Xi Chiyao’s train of thought was understandable and logical.
And the West Imperial Palace was not alone. Many cultivators on the many islands in the Western Sea Domain were also heading towards Yingzhou Island. They wanted to partake in the excitement and see how this fiasco would end.
…
Along the coast region of Yingzhou Island, more and more cultivators were gathering in this area lately. They were all from other islands, and there were some very powerful figures among them.
After that day, Chief Xihai did not continue to pursue Ye Futian, clearly realizing that it would do absolutely no good.
After he returned, he ordered the Domain Chief’s Manor cultivators not to leave Yingzhou City at will, and they must be extremely vigilant and cautious. At the same time, he did not go back into retreat to cultivate but watched all of Yingzhou City closely. He needed to wait for a chance, which would be when Ye Futian slipped.
As long as Ye Futian made a mistake, he could release his domain to capture Ye Futian, and Ye Futian would never be able to escape with his life.
Previously he was unable to successfully pursue and kill him because Ye Futian’s speed was faster than the speed of his Great Path Domain. There was almost no time for him to react, so he could not take Ye Futian.
All he needed was an opportunity. Just once when Ye Futian was careless. Once would be enough.
On the coast region of Yingzhou Island, a group of cultivators walked casually. One of them had controlled his aura, but his temperament was noticeably extraordinary. In fact, he was a supreme cultivator inside the Domain Chief’s Manor—a peak existence who was recruited by the Chief himself to be part of the Domain Chief’s Manor from the very beginning. He was a cultivator who had survived a Divine Tribulation of the Great Path who had been faithfully serving the Domain Chief’s Manor.
But at this moment, he strolled along the coast of Yingzhou Island just like any other ordinary person. Around him, there were also many other cultivators from the Domain Chief’s Manor who didn’t bother to conceal their true ident.i.ty in search for any traces of Ye Futian.
They were the bait to lure Ye Futian into revealing himself.
To deal with this thorn on their side, the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor was treating it with great seriousness and had set up a ma.s.sive net in Yingzhou City, waiting for Ye Futian to step in. They didn’t know when their prey would enter this net.
As long as Ye Futian was alive, the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor would never be at ease!
