Chapter 2520: The Attitudes of the Various Parties

Ye Futian seemed to have no intention of leaving Yingzhou City. In the following days, cultivators who resided in the city could often see him appearing on the shore of the Yingzhou Sea. Usually, he would stand on the water.

Chief Xihai did not go after Ye Futian. It wasn’t very sensible for the Chief to do so anyway. He was a top figure and the Chief of the Domain Chief’s Manor. His subordinate had been brutally murdered, yet he could not do anything to avenge him. If Chief Xihai came after Ye Futian every time he appeared but failed to kill him again and again, it would be a very humiliating experience.

Chief Xihai would most likely not attack Ye Futian again until he was certain that he could win against Ye Futian.

However, Chief Xihai had to pay the price for this decision. All the cultivators from the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor had retreated back to the areas around the manor. They were only active around those areas and dared not move too far away.

It was because Ye Futian could appear at any minute and hunt them down.

A bizarre occurrence had thus taken place in the West Sea Domain. Alone, Ye Futian managed to seal off the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor. How ironic was that?

At the same time, the news of this incident traveled far and wide, shocking all 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture.

The Donghua Domain naturally also caught wind of this news.

Ning Yuan had returned to the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor. He had been paying close attention to Ye Futian’s movements. When he found out about what had happened in the West Sea Domain, he had a hard time believing that the news was real.

Ye Futian had killed Zhong Miao, the second-in-command of the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor.

Zhong Miao was a cultivator who was at the same level as Ning Yuan himself.

What did this imply?

It implied that Ye Futian was also capable of killing him.

Ye Futian could have received aid from others or used a divine item to enhance his ability. Yet, regardless of how Ye Futian did it, he succeeded in killing Zhong Miao. Considering this incident from another perspective, if Ning Yuan kept targeting Ye Futian, the latter could similarly get rid of him, the Chief of the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor.

However, before this, Ye Futian had only killed Ning Hua and had not planned to attack him at all. Only now did Ning Yuan understand that Ye Futian spared him out of consideration for Donghuang Imperial Palace.

Otherwise, Ye Futian would certainly have found a way to eliminate him before this.

Crack! Ning Yuan clenched both his fists tightly. He suddenly realized that he was pathetic. It was ironic how he had gone hunting Ye Futian before this.

Ye Futian was not afraid of him at all.

Ye Futian chose not to attack him merely because the former did not want to offend Donghuang Imperial Palace. If Ye Futian did not have that concern in mind, Ning Hua would not have been the only one who perished that day.

“He must die.” Intense murderous intent filled Ning Yuan’s eyes. His heart would never be at peace until Ye Futian was killed.

Ye Futian left him alone now because the former was concerned about Donghuang Imperial Palace. It did not mean that Ye Futian had no intention of attacking him. If Ye Futian had the chance, he would surely kill Ning Yuan.

Ye Futian being alive was a major threat to Ning Yuan.

…

The Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor similarly received news about what had happened in the West Sea Domain. Everyone in the manor was stunned when they heard the news.

The Chief of the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor and his son, Zhou Muhuang, were especially appalled by the news.

The Chief warned Zhou Muhuang, saying, “Muhuang, try not to provoke Ye Futian from now on. If you can’t kill him, then you should do your best to stay away and not enrage him.”

“Understood.” Zhou Muhuang nodded in agreement. Right now, he could only stomach the grudges between him and Ye Futian. He had to do so. The power of the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor was relatively weak. They could no longer afford to offend a figure such as Ye Futian now. The West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor was far more powerful than they were, and yet they ended up in such a pathetic state. The cultivators of the Domain Chief’s Manor did not even dare to leave their base. If Zhou Muhuang remained stubborn, he would die a horrible death. He would most likely end up like his descendants and die before he even realized it.

The Nanhai Family was also part of the Shangqing Domain. Their clan leader gathered the cultivators of the clan to discuss affairs.

Not long ago, the Nanhai Family received news from the West Sea Domain. This news shocked the clan leader.

Ye Futian had killed the cultivators of the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor. A Tribulation Plane cultivator had ventured to hunt him down but had instead been killed and perished. No one knew how he was killed by Ye Futian. Aside from that, many top-tier Renhuangs had died at the hands of Ye Futian. Top-tier Renhuangs seemed so fragile in his presence.

On the other hand, this news was earth-shaking for the Nanhai Family. Ye Futian and the Nanhai Family had some vendetta with each other, and their grudges ran deep. It also involved the Muyun clan of Four Corner Village.

If Ye Futian were to come over and settle the score with them, how would they end up?

The entire Nanhai Family combined could not hold a candle to Ye Futian.

The clan leader of the Nanhai Family directly ordered, “From today onwards, all cultivators from the Nanhai Family are forbidden from getting into any conflicts with Ye Futian or the cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum.”

“Yes, sir,” replied everyone while nodding their heads in resignation. From this point onwards, Ye Futian was the only one who was allowed to initiate any trouble.

The clan leader of the Nanhai Family continued, “Muyun Long, you and your clan should make a trip back to Four Corner Village and beg for Master’s forgiveness. If there’s a chance, continue to cultivate under Master’s guidance.” His order caused Muyun Long to be stupefied for a moment before returning to normal again.

When Muyun Long heard the order, his face turned as pale as a sheet. He had to return to Four Corner Village and beg for Master’s forgiveness?

He certainly wanted Master to accept him again. He had tried to ask for Master’s forgiveness before, but his efforts were in vain. Now that the clan leader of the Nanhai Family brought up this issue again, Muyun Long was well aware of what the other party implied. They had been abandoned. In the future, if Ye Futian came to seek revenge, the Muyun clan would be the first group to be forsaken.

“Muyun Lan, you have once cultivated under Master. You and Muyun Shu should make a trip back to the village as well,” the head of the Nanhai Family continued to advise the Muyun clan to return to the village and restore their relationships with Master.

As for what would happen in the future, they could only play by ear.

“When I left the village, I decided that I would never return,” Muyun Lan declared calmly. “If the Nanhai Family thinks that you will get into trouble because of us, I can leave right now.”

Muyun Lan was also a Proud Son of Heaven. He had his ego. Ye Futian’s achievement in the West Sea Domain had successfully terrorized the clan leader of the Nanhai Family.

…

The cultivators of the 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture each had different attitudes when they received the news about what had happened in the West Sea Domain. Nevertheless, all of them became very aware of Ye Futian’s growth. Ye Futian was shining brightly like a rising star.

The various parties figured that if they wanted to attack Ye Futian, they had to do so as soon as possible. The longer they waited, the more difficult it would be for them to kill him. Of course, the current Ye Futian was also not someone they could take on as they pleased.

On the shore of the Yingzhou Sea, a ship plowed through the waves and arrived where Ye Futian was. Xi Chiyao, who was on the deck, shouted, “Renhuang Ye.”

“Goddess Chiyao,” Ye Futian greeted her while nodding.

“Renhuang Ye is indeed the chosen one. I have good news for you,” Xi Chiyao said while smiling. Ye Futian paused for a moment. Good news?

Recently, he had only inquired about one matter from Xi Chiyao.

It was about the elixir.

“Goddess, please share the news with me,” Ye Futian said politely.

“There’s a clue pointing to Jiuyi Celestial Mountain. Renhuang Ye might be able to find what you need there,” Xi Chiyao said.

“Will I find elixir recipes or herbs there?” Ye Futian asked.

“Neither. It’s a clue,” explained Xi Chiyao as she looked at Ye Futian. “However, rumor has it that this clue is related to a manuscript with ancient elixir recipes in it. It was left behind by a mighty Alchemy grandmaster from ancient times. It might contain everything that you seek.”
