Chapter 1969: Righteous Ye Futian
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Renhuang of the north arrived in Wangdu in force and challenged the Renhuangs of Wangdu at the law battle platform inside the Heavenly Battle Palace. Multiple Renhuang-level law battles took place. The Wangdu camp lost more than they won. One could even say that they were overwhelmingly defeated. Many Renhuangs had also suffered severe injuries.
After news of this got out, all of Wangdu was shocked. Factions from all sides were ready to make their move. It was as if a brewing storm was about to arrive.
The Renhuangs who gathered at the Heavenly Battle Palace this time were not only Renhuangs from their faction. Renhuangs from all sides were also invited. Apart from some of the top factions in Wangdu, many top factions around Dongxiao Continent were also there. Their lineup was most definitely very powerful. However, despite that, they were still crushed. One could only imagine just how strong the lineup of the visitors from the north was. They were definitely the elites among the elites. These powerful Renhuangs from the north were specifically handpicked before they traveled and arrived at Wangdu. That was why their battle strength was so high.
It was certain. The Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was behind them. There were rumors that they had already arrived and were staying in a pavilion within Wangdu.
This caused a considerable commotion very quickly inside Wangdu. Many people were already talking about it.
Apart from the law battle itself, one person received a lot of attention and a lot of criticism. That person was obviously Ye Liunian—the person who gained his fame just one day ago.
Ye Liunian earned his fame after he defeated Grandmaster Zi He in the Alchemy Conference. Many people knew him after that. According to rumors, someone challenged him a day earlier, and with just a glare, he injured the person. He was mighty. However, when a strong cultivator from the north issued a challenge during the law battle, Ye Liunian denied any connections to Wangdu, even the entire Dongxiao Continent, before leaving, avoiding battle altogether. His actions and style annoyed many people.
Even if he were an amazing alchemy grandmaster, his actions were shameless, particularly when the fight involved the conflict of two sides. Everyone was caught up in the overall trend, but he actually drew a line to clearly separate him from Wangdu. How could people not criticize him for that?
Who was this genius Alchemy Grandmaster that the Alchemy Emperor brought over? It seemed like his conduct was questionable.
Moreover, one should not forget that the Alchemy Emperor and the Wangshen Watchtower were connected. According to rumors, the Alchemy Emperor was once handpicked by the good friend of the Millet Emperor, Supreme Deity Donglai, and who was not aware of the relationship between Supreme Deity Donglai and the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family? Ye Futian choosing to run away at this time would naturally invite gossip.
However, Ye Futian did not mind. After he returned to the inn, he shut himself in his room and cultivated in peace.
An absolute beauty suddenly appeared beside the cultivating Ye Futian.
“Senior sister,” Ye Futian called out after seeing that Goddess Donglai was the one who came.
“Why didn’t you lend a hand?” asked Goddess Donglai calmly. No one could tell her emotion from her tone.
“I did not want to, so I didn’t,” answered Ye Futian, laughing.
“Didn’t want to?” Goddess Donglai looked at him. Ye Futian raised his head and looked at the cold and prideful figure before saying,” I inherited the path of Supreme Deity Donglai. Does senior sister think that a Renhuang of the same plane from the north is a worthy opponent?”
Goddess Donglai’s eyes twitched slightly as she continued staring at him.
“Since the people from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family have not acted, would I not be devaluing myself by entering the law battle platform? How could I live up to the name of the heir of the supreme deity if that were the case?” Answered Ye Futian with a smile. Then, he continued, “I’m sure senior sister knows as well. If I were to act before the cultivators from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family appeared, the Eastern Deity Island would also lose face.”
Goddess Donglai looked at him. What Ye Futian said sounded very sensible…
As the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai, his opponent should be someone from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. Since the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had not even made an appearance, what was the reason for him to act?
As she thought of that, Goddess Donglai no longer brought it up. Instead, she said, “There are many rumors about you circulating outside. Many practitioners know that you live here. Many are gossiping, and I’m afraid some may try to create commotions.”
“To ruin my name. I’ve just come. Why would someone do this?” asked Ye Futian.
“To prevent you from entering the Wangshen Watchtower,” answered Goddess Donglai. Ye Futian was stunned briefly. In that instant, he suddenly understood. With his talent and strength in alchemy, if he were to get in touch with the Millet Emperor after entering the Wangshen Watchtower, he could threaten the position of the Alchemy Divine Palace directly in the future.
If his name were ruined, and if news of him drawing a line to segregate him from Wangdu were to reach the ears of the practitioners of the Wangshen Watchtower, it would be natural for them to form an opinion about him and impact his chances of getting into the Wangshen Watchtower.
Unfortunately, the enemy’s efforts were in vain. First of all, Ye Futian had no intention of entering the Wangshen Watchtower to cultivate. Secondly, with the relationship between the Millet Emperor and Supreme Deity Donglai, the enemy would probably not prevent anything from happening. Moreover, Ye Futian’s strength was there. Even without the relationship with Supreme Deity Donglai, he would still meet the Millet Emperor eventually.
“Go and cultivate. I’ll find you when you visit the Wangshen Watchtower,” said Goddess Donglai before leaving.
Moments after she left the place, someone else came, albeit in a sneaky manner. He glanced in the direction where Goddess Donglai left.
Ye Futian glanced toward this person and asked, “What are you doing, sneaking around?”
Lin Qiu smiled, walked over, and returned to his usual demeanor. He was only suspicious before, but now it was proven. However, Goddess Donglai did not seem to do anything even after discovering him. Obviously, she did not really care.
He walked over and sat beside Ye Futian. Then, he asked in a whisper, “The descendant of the Supreme Deity?”
While he arrived earlier, he did not dare to eavesdrop. After all, it was quite disrespectful. He only knew that Goddess Donglai had come to see Ye Futian.
The powerful deity was most probably the daughter of Supreme Deity Donglai. Ye Futian followed her here, which meant that entering the Wangshen Watchtower was probably not an issue.
Ye Futian glared at him but did not respond. However, to Lin Qiu, not responding meant that he was acquiescing. His eyes lit up. The way he looked at Ye Futian was like someone looking at their treasure.
“Since you are the disciple of the Supreme Deity’s descendant, you probably came from the Eastern Deity Island, right? Do you perhaps have a miraculous and divine elixir or pill that you could lend me on you?” At that moment, Lin Qiu no longer cared about his demeanor. Who was Supreme Deity Donglai? The number one Alchemy grandmaster of the Donghua Domain. Since Ye Futian was his successor, he should not lack divine pills or elixirs, right?
“Of course I do,” answered Ye Futian. Lin Qiu’s eyes lit up even more. He was restless. Happiness came too suddenly.
“But why should I lend them to you?” Ye Futian looked at him condescendingly while smiling. Could someone lend a pill or an elixir? Was it even possible for it to be returned? You’d devour it right away, no? That was the first time he heard of someone borrowing pills and elixirs.
“We’re all brothers. We should share our blessings,” Lin Qiu seemed to have forgotten his decency at that moment.
“???” Ye Futian looked at Lin Qiu. When did they become brothers? And to share their blessings.
Noticing Ye Futian’s expression, Lin Qiu said, “Brother Ye, in the future, this young brother will only follow Brother Ye’s lead.”
“…” Ye Futian looked at Lin Qiu. This person was still a mid-level Renhuang. His aura was decent, and he had a strong background. However, he was so shameless.
Now that a rather reputable Renhuang had already displayed such shameless behavior, what else could Ye Futian do?
He brought out a clay bottle, passed it to Lin Qiu, and said, “There are several divine pills inside, all of which are my treasures, the deities left them for me, but now I am giving them to you. This is sharing my blessings. So, the misfortune in the future… I’ll leave it to you.”
As he finished speaking, he patted Lin Qiu’s shoulder. Lin Qiu was so grateful that tears almost rolled out of his eyes.
“I will give my everything!” Lin Qiu’s eyes were red. He stretched out his hands to receive the clay bottle. He held the bottle with a lot of strength but did not take it. He looked at the reluctant Ye Futian and continued, “I will not hesitate to lay down my life to go through the depths of hell for you.”
Ye Futian finally let go. His gaze continued to linger on the clay bottle. Lin Qiu quickly packed it up. How could he afford Ye Futian the chance to feel regret?
“Brother Ye, I will not interrupt your cultivation anymore. I still have some matters that I need to attend to. If Brother Ye has any orders, please look for me at any time.” As he finished speaking, Lin Qiu turned around to leave. He could not have moved any quicker.
“???” Ye Futian blinked a few times as he saw Lin Qiu leave.
Shameless!
He had never seen such a shameless Renhuang.
Sigh. What a pity for his treasured pills.
He extended his hand. A clay bottle identical to the one earlier appeared in his hands. He opened the clay bottle and took out the pills within it. Then, he threw them into his mouth before devouring them in one go. In an instant, strands of powerful aura began to fluctuate around his body.
Such valuable pills… Was it easy for him to make them?… He only had a few hundred bottles left on him.
The following day, Lin Qiu had come to Ye Futian’s side again. However, it was not only Lin Qiu; he also brought along two brothers—Han Tie and Leng Ye. They were all descendants of the three lords of the Dragon Submission Villa. The Lin Qiu of that moment had completely changed. His plane level seemed to have improved. His face was bright, and he looked very energetic.
The three of them bowed together at the same time when they found Ye Futian. In particular, Lin Qiu looked at Ye Futian with gratitude and said, “Thank you, Brother Ye, for giving us such valuable pills.”
The pills were high-class divine pills that could solidify one’s path fundamentals. After taking them, the fundamentals of one’s Great Path would stabilize further, while one’s life force would become vigorous and energy levels would also go up. Cultivating for a day would result in a marked improvement of one’s plane level. Where would anyone find such amazing divine pills?
Ye Futian’s generosity was commendable. How could someone not be so grateful when shown such generosity.
Ye Futian glanced at them and waved his hands. Then, he said, “Since we are all brothers now, don’t be so formal. Those pills were given to me by the deity so that I could breakthrough my plane level. Since you needed them, I gave them to you. I can cultivate a few more decades for that. It is only a few decades; it’s nothing big…”
“This!” The three of them were endlessly thankful. They were completely subdued by Ye Futian’s generosity. He was a real brother whose righteousness and generosity had pierced the skies!
