Chapter 2508: Walking into the Lion’s Den?

In Ziwei Imperial Palace, Ye Futian met with the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng. One was the master of Zong Chan, and the other was his elder brother. Both of them were close to Zong Chan.

Now that Ye Futian was heading over to seek revenge, they had to be present.

“I will also head over to take a look,” said Emperor Xi. His group had also come.

Emperor Xi, Thunder Punis.h.i.+ng Skylord, and Emperor Xi’s disciple, Yang Wuqi, were here. In the past, when Ye Futian was chased by Ning Hua, it was Yang Wuqi who had rescued Ye Futian and blocked off Ning Hua.

During the conflict back then, Emperor Xi’s group had grown closer to Ye Futian. They were also very curious about the starry cultivation court and had been cultivating here all this while. Even when the Ziwei Segmentum was sealed away, they remained here.

If the Ziwei Segmentum with Ye Futian as its center was considered independent from the various other forces, then Emperor Xi’s group would also be considered part of the Ziwei Segmentum faction.

In terms of relations.h.i.+p, Emperor Xi and Ye Futian were not very close. He had merely aided Ye Futian at that time and thought highly of him. Emperor Xi himself was a man who was solely focused on cultivation. He had no desire for authority and influence. Hence, he had always been cultivating on Turtle Deity Island before this.

Afterward, when he was exposed for aiding Ye Futian, he offended the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain, Ning Yuan. He could not remain on Turtle Deity Island any longer. He was also attracted to the miraculous starry cultivation court, which possessed a relic of a Great Emperor. Due to these reasons, he gradually ended up growing close with Ye Futian’s faction.

Although they were close, they never mentioned that they would join Ye Futian’s group. They were merely borrowing the s.p.a.ce for cultivation. However, after cultivating for many years here, it was clearly inappropriate to dust off their sleeves and leave. Moreover, in this current grand era, they wanted to witness how far Ye Futian and the Ziwei Segmentum would go.

The black turtle had also advised Emperor Xi not to attempt the second stage of the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path when it took the blow for him. It would be the end for Emperor Xi. However, Emperor Xi understood that it was impossible for him not to attempt it. If he wanted to take that step, the starry cultivation court might be an opportunity for him. Here, he could comprehend the Will of the Great Emperor at all times.

Ye Futian glanced at the people around him. The Millet Emperor had a cold and indifferent expression. Li Changsheng also had a stern look on his face. They had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

They would never forget Zong Chan’s death.

“Let’s go.” After the group gathered, the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird Mo Yunzi served as their mount. He spread his wings and took to the skies, leaving Ziwei Imperial Palace behind in an instant.

“Dou Zhao, where is Ning Hua now?” asked Ye Futian.

Dou Zhao replied, “The 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture have all established pathways to the Original Realm. The Donghua Domain has also done the same, and the pa.s.sageway is controlled by the Domain Chief’s Manor. They established a realm in the Original Realm and called it the Donghua Realm. After more than a decade, it has grown to a considerable scale. This Donghua Realm is directly linked to the Donghua Domain in the Divine Prefecture. For many years, cultivators have continuously descended from the Donghua Domain. Many of these cultivators, including those from the various major forces in the domain, have set up strongholds in the Donghua Realm.”

Xiao Dingtian added, “They call it the Donghua Realm, but it is not that impressive. After all, the population is still too small. It is more akin to a city. It is a relic discovered by the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor seized and occupied by them. They developed it afterward. However, the capabilities of the Donghua Domain are limited, and the relic is not very precious. Otherwise, they would not have been able to hold on to it up until now.”

Someone added, “That’s right. These past few years, the outside world has been in a frenzy over relics. The conflict has never ended, although war has yet to erupt between the Divine Prefecture, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm. They have been slaughtering, pillaging, and fighting over territory.”

Ye Futian nodded his head. From the looks of it, the outside world had changed dramatically while the Ziwei Segmentum had been sealed away. For top-level forces, it was not difficult for them to create a city out of thin air.

As for the pillaging of the resources of the Original Realm, he naturally could imagine that happening.

The Millet Emperor a.n.a.lyzed, “The Donghua Realm is connected to the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain. If we attack Ning Hua, Ning Yuan will surely come to a.s.sist him. I can hold Ning Yuan back. However, you still have quite a lot of enemies in the Original Realm. Many of them want to kill you. You must settle the score with Ning Hua as soon as possible. If we get encircled, the situation will become very messy. Do you have any plans in mind?”

In the past, with the help of the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, the Millet Emperor was able to put up a fight with Ning Yuan and found a way to retreat. Even though the Millet Emperor was severely injured in the process, he was able to escape alive. After devoting himself to cultivating for many years, the Millet Emperor now had an even more profound cultivation. He could engage Ning Yuan in a battle for a short period of time with the aid of the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower. If Emperor Xi were willing to join the battle, it would be even better.

Nevertheless, their group should not linger in the Original Realm for very long.

“For now, I will kill Ning Hua and spare Ning Yuan,” Ye Futian said. Ning Yuan was the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor. If Ye Futian killed him, the Donghuang Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture might take his action as a threat to their authority. Their situation would become murky then.

Currently, Ye Futian’s forces in the Ziwei Segmentum were still not strong enough. They needed to be patient.

Hence, Ye Futian only planned to kill Ning Hua this time and let Ning Yuan have a taste of the agony of losing his own son. The Millet Emperor placed high importance on Zong Chan, and Zong Chan was supposed to be his successor. Yet, Zong Chan was killed by Ning Hua. Most likely, Ning Yuan had never experienced the pain suffered by the Millet Emperor before.

Ye Futian would spare Ning Yuan?

The Millet Emperor was stunned. He cast a surprised look at Ye Futian.

His question was meant to find out how Ye Futian planned to escape unscathed from Ning Yuan. However, Ye Futian said that he would spare Ning Yuan for now.

This caused the Millet Emperor to feel somewhat bizarre. Did Ye Futian think that their group already possessed the strength to kill Ning Yuan, the Domain Chief of the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor?

How much did Ye Futian improve exactly during his trip to Western Heaven recently?

Which level was Ye Futian’s cultivation at now?

To the side, Li Changsheng, Emperor Xi, Yang Wuqi, and the others also glanced at Ye Futian. His statement of sparing Ning Yuan caused their imaginations to run wild.

The current Void Realm had even more realms than it had before. Many relics hidden in the void s.p.a.ce were discovered and developed into cities. The Donghua Realm was one of them. This place was conquered by the Donghua Domain and became the base for their forces in the Original Realm.

Just as Xiao Dingtian had said, it was more appropriate to consider the Donghua Realm as a city. The outskirts of the realm were still barren. The only city was the one in the center of the realm. Development took place in the areas around the city, slowly expanding outwards. This place might evolve into a true realm in a few years, with cultivators inhabiting every inch of land.

Of course, the city which was located at the center was already very busy and lively now. After all, top forces from the Donghua Domain and other places gathered and established powerful troops here. Moreover, a lot of top cultivators from various worlds were also here since many fateful encounters were awaiting them in the current Original Realm.

An ancient aura permeated this continent where a relic stood. However, the city was newly built. In the sky above, a Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird glided past, heading towards the center of the city. Its wings were outstretched, s.h.i.+elding the sun.

Many cultivators down below raised their heads to look at the bird. They were slightly shocked.

“Such a powerful divine bird,” someone exclaimed.

“It’s a ninth-tier Demon Emperor,” someone pointed out. With a dash, many Renhuangs took to the sky. A ninth-tier Demon Emperor had come. Moreover, it was carrying quite a few cultivators with it.

Something big was about to happen.

“Let’s go and take a look.” One by one, the local cultivators dashed and tailed the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird from a distance away. They wanted to see what would happen.

For the cultivators to be able to use a ninth-tier Demon Emperor as a mount, what level would they be at?

They might have come to the Donghua Realm bearing ill-intentions.

The Donghua Palace was the branch set up by the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor in the Original Realm.

Vice Chief Ning Hua was cultivating in the palace. He had returned from his adventure not long ago. After discovering that the cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum had come out to the outside world again, he taught them a lesson. He would have killed some of them if a few experienced cultivators from the other party had not joined forces to push him back.

As for Ye Futian, he was now the common enemy of all forces of the Divine Prefecture. A while ago, there was news of him visiting the Great Bright Domain and then the World of Buddhism. Ning Hua’s father, Ning Yuan, heard some rumors from the Imperial Palace, claiming that Ye Futian was hunted by other cultivators when he was in the World of Buddhism. The divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor had been destroyed.

Apparently, Ye Futian went to explore Western Heaven after that. There were no detailed updates of his trip there. After all, Western Heaven had no connections with the Divine Prefecture. They could only learn bits and pieces of information regarding Ye Futian through the Imperial Palace.

Ye Futian had indeed gone to a very far place. Now that so many years had pa.s.sed, he would most likely be back, right?

Otherwise, it would be unwise for the cultivators to emerge from the Ziwei Segmentum and be active in the outside world again.

However, since Ye Futian had lost the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor and had become the common enemy of the Divine Prefecture, Ning Hua was curious to see how long it would take before Ye Futian could muster his courage to leave the Ziwei Segmentum himself.

As for Ning Hua, since many other cultivators revealed their talents during the chaos of the Original Realm back then, he was no longer a bright cultivator people looked highly upon in the Original Realm now. Taking Ye Futian as an example, he was almost invincible among the Renhuangs. This caused Ning Hua to feel very stressed. Therefore, he had been training hard to improve himself.

Currently, Ning Hua’s cultivation was at the peak of the Renhuang Plane. He believed that in a few years, he would have the opportunity to undergo the divine tribulation.

At that moment, a powerful pressure descended outside the Donghua Palace. This caused Ning Hua to frown. At the same time, in the Donghua Palace, cultivators took to the skies one after another. They looked up into the sky and saw a divine Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird floating in mid-air. Its gaze was as sharp as daggers.

On the back of the divine Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird, a very familiar group of figures stood.

The leader was dressed in white robes and had white hair. Everyone in the Donghua Palace knew who he was.

During the Donghua Banquet, Ye Futian had astounded everyone in the Donghua Domain.

After so many years, Ye Futian actually dared to emerge from the Ziwei Segmentum.

Ye Futian gazed down below from the back of the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird and shouted, “Ning Hua.”

His voice reverberated throughout the s.p.a.ce and shook the Donghua Palace. This caused the hearts of countless people to tremble. Ning Hua appeared.

At the same time, several beams of spatial light shone in the Donghua Palace. It seemed as though teleportation grand matrices had been activated.

When Ye Futian’s group saw this scene, they did not do anything to stop it. It could even be said that they did not mind it at all. It was as though they had not seen it. Their gazes were fixed on the figure emerging from the Donghua Palace.

It was the previous top monstrous figure and the Vice Chief of the Donghua Domain, Ning Hua.

“Ye Futian!” Ning Hua called out as he looked up at the group of figures in the sky. He never thought that Ye Futian would emerge from the Ziwei Segmentum and appear here.

For a moment, the members of the Donghua Palace, as well as countless people in the surrounding area, all raised their heads and looked up at the gigantic divine bird in the sky. Was Ye Futian here to seek vengeance?

Spatial light shone. In Donghua Palace, cultivators kept appearing. They were all cultivators from the supreme forces of the Donghua Domain.

Cultivators from Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow, Taihua Mountain, Nanhua Clan, Desolate G.o.d Palace, and other major forces appeared. They all looked towards Ye Futian and were somewhat surprised. It had been many years since the Great Emperor revealed himself, and Ye Futian sealed himself away in the Ziwei Segmentum. However, for Ye Futian, this amount of time was still far from enough.

For Ye Futian to emerge from the Ziwei Segmentum now was undoubtedly him walking into the lion’s den. Many people had a score to settle with him!
