The Heavenly Mandate Academy rebuilt the matrix. At the sa ti, they used the power of the Great Path to set up a barrier over the ruins. However, overall, the Heavenly Mandate Academy was still a barren ruin.
Ye Futian stood on top of the ruins as he gazed into the distance. The stronger his cultivation beca, the stronger the people he ca in contact with. His enemies similarly beca stronger. From the looks of it, only by truly standing at the peak could he avoid experiencing such things again.
“Renhuang Ye, do you really want to retain this ruin? Will you allow the once glorious Heavenly Mandate Academy to remain like this?” asked Xi Chiyao as she walked up behind Ye Futian. Although she understood Ye Futian’s resolve, she still had a hard ti understanding why he was doing this.
Ye Futian turned around and glanced at Xi Chiyao. He nodded his head slightly. Xi Chiyao smiled and continued, “Before this, Renhuang Ye promised to allow to join the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. Now, I have no choice but to follow you. Wherever you cultivate, I will follow.”
After she said this, she suddenly felt a cold will acting on her. She shifted her gaze and saw the cold and indifferent gaze of the woman beside Ye Futian sweeping towards her. The powerful will had extraordinary attack power. Xi Chiyao was stunned. She then revealed a faint smile.
“Mrs. Ye, please don’t pay it much heed. I an no harm,” explained Xi Chiyao.
Hua Jieyu did not look at her anymore, shifting her gaze away. Ye Futian extended his hand and grabbed hold of hers. Their fingers interlocked as they held hands. They could sense each other’s warmth. Xi Chiyao glanced over at their hands. It was not easy for them to still have such passion after reaching such a state. However, it might be so because they had reunited after a long ti and had experienced many life-or-death situations together.
“There’s sothing else which I wish to remind Renhuang Ye of,” Xi Chiyao continued. Ye Futian looked at her and said, “Goddess Chiyao, please speak your mind.”
“After this battle, the forces from the Divine Prefecture will surely do a more thorough investigation on Renhuang Ye’s background, especially the origin of your friend here.” When Xi Chiyao said this, she looked towards the burly figure standing on the other side of Ye Futian. The person was none other than Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu had been standing beside Ye Futian all this ti.
Xi Chiyao advised, “Prior to this, cultivators from the Divine Prefecture have been speculating about Renhuang Ye’s background. Your friend had such an outstanding performance during the battle just now. The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture can tell that he most likely has extraordinary status in the Devil World. Such a figure is actually Renhuang Ye’s best friend, and the two of you grew up together. This will most likely beco an important clue for the cultivators. Renhuang Ye, you need to be careful.”
When she said this, her gaze was locked on Ye Futian’s. Aside from reminding him to be cautious, she also intended to test him out.
Unfortunately, her probing was a let-down. She didn’t see any turbulence in his deep and dark eyes. It was as though he had no emotion. Ye Futian showed no response when she ntioned his background.
Xi Chiyao had no clue that, in reality, even Ye Futian was unclear about his own origin. Who was he?
Why would Godfather protect him? Who was Yu Sheng?
However, what Xi Chiyao had said was true. Based on Yu Sheng’s performance today, one could tell from a glance that his status in the Devil World was very high. A demonic cultivator, who was a match for the Lord of Tianyan City, was actually guarding Yu Sheng. One could imagine how great Yu Sheng’s value in the Devil World was.
Ye Futian could speculate the identity of Godfather by looking at Yu Sheng’s high standing in the Devil World. If so, who was Ye Futian?
Why would he be together with Godfather and Yu Sheng? He was clearly not a demonic cultivator.
It seed like he had to ask Yu Sheng about this matter. Perhaps Yu Sheng would know sothing about it after his trip to the Devil World.
“Thank you for your reminder. If Goddess is willing to cultivate alongside , I’ll surely not turn you away,” replied Ye Futian. He then said, “But I have sothing else to discuss with them now. Can Goddess give us a mont here?”
“Sure.” Xi Chiyao smiled and left. The rest of the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy also moved away, giving Ye Futian and the other two so space. Fang Gai even set up a spatial barrier so that the conversation between Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Hua Jieyu would not be overheard by others. It was very considerate of Fang Gai.
Above the ruins, Ye Futian scanned the surroundings and lanted with a dry smile, “I did not expect that when the two of you returned, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would be in such a state.”
As he said this, he turned towards Jieyu. His hand was still holding hers tightly. His eyes twinkled with great joy. The two of them exchanged a glance. It was as though all their words were contained in their gazes. They could acutely sense each other’s emotions.
They could learn about the state of the other party with just their wills connected. There was no need for words.
Ye Futian raised his other arm and gently stroked Hua Jieyu’s hair. His gaze was loving and gentle.
He smiled and said nothing. Then, he turned around and looked at Yu Sheng, saying, “Yu Sheng, how are you doing in the Devil World?”
“I have been cultivating since I went there,” replied Yu Sheng.
“Do you have any news about Godfather?” Ye Futian suddenly asked. Yu Sheng frowned slightly. Then, he shook his head.
“How about his identity? Do you know anything about it?” Ye Futian asked again.
However, Yu Sheng still shook his head. It seed he knew nothing about any of these matters.
“How about yourself? Do you know your status in the Devil World?” Ye Futian probed further.
Yu Sheng looked at him and, again, shook his head.
“...” Baffled, Ye Futian looked at Yu Sheng with a gaping mouth. Yu Sheng had been cultivating in the Devil World for more than 20 years now. With his current status and cultivation level, he actually knew nothing?
This was...
Yu Sheng said, “After I went to the Devil World, the Devil Emperor t in the Devil Imperial Palace. After that, he taught demonic attack techniques. He even allowed to cultivate with him. He taught personally, prepared trials for to experience, and assigned cultivators to follow . I seem to be an alien in the Devil Imperial Palace. Many people speculated that the Devil Emperor places high importance on due to my talent. They said that he wants to groom as his successor. They regard as a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor.”
Yu Sheng continued, “However, the Devil Emperor himself has never stated his intention of accepting as a disciple. In fact, he seldom communicates with aside from when we cultivate together. The other disciples of the Devil Emperor bear animosity towards . No one has ever ntioned anything about my origin. Perhaps they know nothing about it. Or perhaps, they are fearful of ntioning it.”
“Is it due to the order of the Devil Emperor?” Ye Futian speculated.
“Maybe,” Yu Sheng replied. “I have asked the Devil Emperor about it before. He didn’t respond to my questions. I thought of investigating the matter myself, but I found nothing. Everything in the Devil Imperial Palace is under the control of the Devil Emperor. If he chooses to hide the truth from , I will most likely never be able to figure it out. Even if soone else knows the truth, they will surely hide it from .”
Ye Futian revealed a serious expression upon hearing Yu Sheng’s words. Throughout Yu Sheng’s stay in the Devil World for more than 20 years, the Devil Emperor taught him personally simply due to his talent. Was this possible?
Why would the Devil Emperor groom a cultivator brought back to the Devil World without reason?
Furthermore, judging from the Devil Emperor’s attitude, there were certainly so secrets related to Yu Sheng’s identity. The Devil Emperor didn’t want to tell Yu Sheng about it, yet he personally taught him cultivation techniques!
