Ye Futian listened quietly. He had already thought about this point—they should be one of the last groups of people to arrive. The top forces here had dispersed to different locations after they arrived. They had not ventured into the unusual region. Clearly, sothing had occurred before for the cultivators here not to dare to venture into the region.
If that was the case, he roughly guessed the reason why the Domain Chief of the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor had co looking for him.
Chief Zhou said, “According to my intelligence, after the Shenyi Continent was abandoned, it has been traversing through the void all this while, floating among the various destructive storms. Over countless years, it experienced countless extinction-level calamities. However, it has lasted to this day. The main contributor for this is the Lost Clan.”
He continued explaining to Ye Futian, “The Lost Clan is not a family clan, but rather is ford from the mbers of the entire Shenyi Continent. Anyone who joins the Lost Clan will offer up their lives. They will take an oath with their spiritual soul to protect this continent. The Lost Clan appears to be a family clan on the surface, but it is forged from the combined will of the entire Shenyi Continent. It is indestructible. It is precisely because of them that we can witness everything before us now.”
From the other party’s words, Ye Futian imdiately understood the reason for the animosity from the surrounding cultivators. At the sa ti, he also understood why the various cultivators had all rushed over here.
It turned out that this was the center of their faith—the place that the mbers of this entire continent wanted to protect.
From the looks of it, the Lost Clan had protected the Shenyi Continent through countless catastrophes and calamities. In the end, the continent had made its way to the Original Realm. From this perspective, the mbers of the Lost Clan were admirable. Ye Futian felt a faint sense of respect well up inside of him.
Such temperant was noteworthy. It was just like how he wanted to protect the Original Realm. Their belief was far stronger than his own.
It was because the Shenyi Continent was always on the brink of destruction. As the continent traversed through the void, the Lost Clan had no sense of security and could be destroyed at any mont.
Such dire circumstances ford an extraordinary clan. It similarly forged a group of exceptional cultivators. It was no surprise then that he discovered that their average cultivation Planes were higher than those of any other continent that he had been to, including the lands of the Divine Prefecture.
The people here were, on average, very powerful. Ye Futian also noticed sothing else. On this vast Shenyi Continent, the population was not very large and seed rather scarce. Only here in Shenyi City was the population denser.
Across the eons, the harsh environnt must have already perford natural selection on the Shenyi Continent again and again. Hence, there was the Shenyi Continent and the Lost Clan that they saw today.
Ye Futian understood this in his mind but still did not speak up. He was waiting for the other party to bring it up. After Chief Zhou finished introducing all of this, only then did he say to Ye Futian, “There is a barrier in the region of the Lost Clan that seals away a building. Prior to this, we wanted to enter that place. However, we encountered obstacles. Inside, there seems to be a secret zone. From within it, many extrely powerful cultivators erged and deterred the various top forces from entering. Hence, resulting in the situation you see before you.”
“You want to get inside?” asked Ye Futian.
“Of course, it is not just . Cultivators from the various worlds all want to enter and take a look around. Is the Lost Clan hiding so mysterious secrets in there? Is it related to the Great Emperors of old? If we can get inside, we will certainly co across huge discoveries,” continued Chief Zhou. “Hence, I have co looking for you. I actually want to form an alliance with you here.”
The Chief of the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor wanted to ally with Ye Futian.
Naturally, it was not because of Ye Futian’s cultivation Plane, but rather the powers behind him as well as the astonishing talent that Ye Futian himself displayed. After all, Ye Futian had proven himself so many tis before. There seed to be no relic that possessed the inheritance of the Great Emperors that had not been claid by him.
The scene before them was sowhat surreal. When Ye Futian ca to the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor back then, the Chief had not considered him worthy of his attention. Back then, he rely wanted Zhou Muhuang and Zhou Lingxi to win over Ye Futian, recruit him under the Chief’s control, and make Ye Futian his underling.
However, now, he wanted to ally with Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at Chief Zhou, but he shook his head. He seed to have decided to reject the other party’s offer. This scene caused Chief Zhou to reveal a strange look. He took the initiative to extend Ye Futian an invitation, but the other party had actually rejected his request for an alliance. The expression of Zhou Muhuang, who was beside him, also changed slightly. His gaze suddenly turned sharp as he looked at Ye Futian.
Even though Ye Futian’s status was extraordinary, their standing was also high. The Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor was the most powerful force in the Shangqing Domain. They had proactively co to ally, but Ye Futian had actually turned them down completely.
“Chief, every ti a relic appears, I also offend the various major forces. This ti, cultivators from the various worlds have co here, including the forces of the Human Realm, the Devil World, and the Ancient God Clan from the Divine Prefecture. Even with the power of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, I don’t believe that I can deal with all of them. Can Chief Zhou handle them?” asked Ye Futian. This caused Chief Zhou to frown.
Ye Futian continued, “If we can’t obtain anything, there is no aning to forming an alliance. If we truly manage to obtain rewards, will you stand with the Heavenly Mandate Academy to face the animosity of the various forces together? I believe that you know the answer yourself.”
To put it bluntly, the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor sought an alliance just so that they could rely on his power to obtain rewards. However, when the Heavenly Mandate Academy truly faced danger and if they went against the superpowers, the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor would most likely not dare to offend them.
The so-called alliance would naturally be aningless.
When he heard Ye Futian’s words, Chief Zhou’s expression turned sullen. He appeared sowhat displeased. Ye Futian exposing this point was actually a slap in the face for him. Although what Ye Futian said was true, from his attitude, it was clear that Ye Futian didn’t want to deal with him.
“If that is the case, farewell then,” said Chief Zhou. He then led the cultivators of the Domain Chief’s Manor away with a sowhat displeased expression. Zhou Lingxi looked back and glanced at Ye Futian. However, she did not say anything but followed the group and left.
After the cultivators of the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor left, Emperor Nan said, “Such a direct rejection will probably offend others.”
“This isn’t the first ti anyway,” said Ye Futian nonchalantly. This was not the first ti the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor was displeased with him. During the struggle over the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor, the Domain Chief’s Manor had already been very dissatisfied with him. Back then, Zhou Muhuang had even headed over to Four Corner Village to demand the village be handed over to him.
It could be said that both sides were not on good terms, to begin with. Since that was the case, Ye Futian did not need to fake politeness and accept the other party’s alliance.
“Hmm,” responded Emperor Nan as he nodded his head. He did not mind anyway. Ye Futian had also offended other forces aside from the Shangqing Domain Chief’s Manor. In the previous struggles over the relics, he had offended countless top forces. However, his offenses towards them could not be considered huge vendettas, rely fights over personal interests.
Wills swept over them. It seed that the arrival of Chief Zhou just now had drawn the attention of so people. They were spying on the situation over here.
Ye Futian did not pay it much heed. However, he was sowhat curious about the Lost Clan!
