Currently, if Ye Futian were to agree to their demand, then all the forces from the Divine Prefecture would swarm in and enter Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. At that time, how could he maintain control of the situation?

The capability of Heavenly Mandate Academy was limited, and there was still something left to be desired when comparing to these top forces from Divine Prefecture. In the case of the Ancient God Clan, in particular, the chasm between the two was even greater. Today’s occurrence was nothing more than these cultivators trying to bully their way into the Heavenly Mandate Academy in a bid to take over the cultivation resources controlled by Ye Futian.

Ye Futian’s eyes swept toward those cultivators as an invisible oppressive coercion crept in every direction. The entire Heavenly Mandate City was under that majestic and awesome pressure.

“The Heavenly Mandate Academy was just one of the many principalities in the Original Realm. You are all from the top clans in Divine Prefecture, so there was no need for you to cultivate in Heavenly Mandate Academy. I’m afraid you praised the Heavenly Mandate Academy too much,” said Ye Futian as he looked at these people.

“As the head of many clans, Emperor Ye is in charge of the inheritances of several Great Emperors, as well as being in charge of the starry cultivation court. These are all places worthy of our cultivation,” someone retorted and did not disguise the greed they had for the cultivation resources at Ye Futian’s disposal.

Their purpose was to intimidate Ye Futian.

Today, it was not up to him to decide whether he would give in or not.

“The Heavenly Mandate Academy is a small place; I’m afraid we can’t accommodate all of you,” Ye Futian responded.

Ye Futian’s voice was indifferent. Immediately, the atmosphere froze and felt even more tense. This was Ye Futian directly refusing to receive them.

“So, Emperor Ye is ignoring our request,” someone piped up.

“Emperor Ye claims that Original Realm is a part of Divine Prefecture and that everything was working towards an alliance within Divine Prefecture. But it seemed to us that you don’t really consider yourselves as a part of us. You think that the Heavenly Mandate Academy and the land of the Original Realm are an entity unto themselves.”

Voices continued to filter in, blaming Ye Futian for some imagined transgressions and other made-up charges. They made it sound as if Ye Futian was the one who broke up the unity of Divine Prefecture and was resistant to share cultivation resources. In their mind, he was too selfish, and it was an indication that he had no sense of belonging to the land of Divine Prefecture.

“Emperor Ye also possesses the inheritances of several Great Emperors. I would like to see what kind of cultivation level was able to impress Goddess Chiyao so much,” someone else said. It was none other than the descendant of Yuanshi the Great from Yuanshi Domain—the heir of Yuanshi Palace. His aura was astounding, and he stood out above everyone else.

“I would also like to see for myself the talents of Emperor Ye.” The speaker was a top figure from the Boundless Domain. It was the Boundless Divine Child himself. He was surrounded by the divine light of the Great Path and was radiant beyond words.

“Emperor Ye controlled the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and comprehended an extraordinary body of the Great Path. I cultivated the Vajra Divine Body, and I would like to experience the might of Emperor Ye’s divine body firsthand.” The Divine Child of Vajra Region also joined in. The power of the Vajra Divine Body was superb and domineering. It had passed down through the Great Emperor, who was also of the Ancient God Clan.

After that, other voices continued to speak. Even those who didn’t speak had taken a step forward. Their bodies were radiant and bright, surrounded by divine light, and it was obvious that they all wanted to confront Ye Futian. For a time, the divine light of the Great Path was extremely brilliant as it sprinkled down upon Ye Futian. All those auras were truly terrifying, and the cultivators that were here to challenge Ye Futian were at least at the level of Hua Junlai.

These heirs of the Ancient God Clan wanted to have their own exchanges with Ye Futian. But this could also be seen as Ye Futian being recognized by these top forces from the Divine Prefecture. He had defeated the Devil Emperor’s disciple as well as Hua Junlai and the descendant of the Haotian Clan. He had impressed Goddess Chiyao so much that she was now willing to enter the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. This kind of strength needed no further embellishment. Therefore it was no surprise that these genius talents wanted to test the power of this reputed King of the Heavenly Mandate.

Moreover, they wanted to see what secrets Ye Futian might be harboring and if he was hiding anything...

Everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked quite somber. They raised their heads to look at the figures. Every one of them was an extraordinary talent, and this assembly was even more awe-striking than the one previously presented at the battle with the Lost Clan. Among them, there was even Renhuang of the Ninth-Realm. Never mind Ye Futian himself, just in Heavenly Mandate Academy alone and amongst its allies, they were hard-pressed to find some top enchanting figures of this caliber who could contend with these outsiders.

Clearly, this was a bit too much. These cultivators were ganging up on Ye Futian at the same time.

Ye Futian raised his head and glanced at the cultivators who were in the void. He had a sharp look about him. His clothing now fluttered by itself, and his silver hair danced in the air.

Then, they saw his body moved as he swayed upward, heading straight into the sky.

“Huh?” Everyone was stunned. Ye Futian made a move alone and headed towards the challengers by himself. Could it be that he wanted to take on these cultivators by himself?

Xi Chiyao also showed a look of concern. She had personally experienced Ye Futian’s strength and knew he was incredibly strong. Although the two of them had stopped, Xi Chiyao knew very well that it was difficult enough for her to defeat Ye Futian even when she was one realm higher than him. In the scenario of a sustained battle, the outcome was unpredictable.

But even so, did he know what kind of challengers was he facing?

Xi Chiyao also knew of these people. Even if she hadn’t seen them before, she had heard of their names and knew who they were. These characters were the top figures who were well-known in their respective domains. They enjoyed a reputation of their own.

No matter how powerful Ye Futian was, he couldn’t face so many top enchanting existences all at once.

These people deliberately pressed Ye Futian, forcing him to fight so that they could examine his combat effectiveness. At the same time, they wanted to have the opportunity to uncover Ye Futian’s secrets. If Ye Futian were to fight them, it was only a matter of time before he had to use all the tricks in his bag and expose all of his abilities in front of everyone.

Those in the Heavenly Mandate Academy were a little puzzled when they saw this. Those cultivators were some top-notch geniuses. No matter how strong Futian was, it would not be easy to contend with all of them.

At this moment, in the distance, a group of mighty and powerful cultivators came in a hurry. This group was made of people with extraordinary abilities and strengths. The man in the lead was Sikong Nan, indicating that reinforcements from the Lost Clan had arrived.

The cultivators from various principalities of Divine Prefecture looked at them without too much concern, though. This here was not Shenyi Continent, and the Lost Clan, without the support of the super-matrix of Shenyi Continent, was unlikely to pose any serious threat against these various powers of the Divine Prefecture.

They were curious to see what the use of Ye Futian’s alliance with the cultivator of the Lost Clan was.

“Futian,” Sikong Nan called out.

Ye Futian looked at the cultivators from the Lost Clan in the distance and nodded slightly at them, indicating that they need not take action. He floated high in the sky. As he surveyed the cultivators surrounding him, those people also returned his gaze. The divine light on their bodies was even more radiant and dazzling. It was as if they were the descendants of the gods.

“Do you want to come up one by one, or do you want to attack altogether?” Ye Futian asked. All the cultivators who were present were famous figures in the domains of the Divine Prefecture. Naturally, they would not deign to rush in altogether against Ye Futian. They came to pressure him, but they didn’t want to really kill him.

If Ye Futian were killed today, it would not be easy to explain it away to Princess Donghuang. Not to mention, there was a mysterious cultivator behind Ye Futian—the teacher from Four Corner Village.

The divine light that shone upon these surrounding cultivators glistened with even more brilliance. They looked at one another as if to see who would make the first move!
