Although Qingzhou City had already disappeared, the history of Ye Futian’s developnt could not be wiped away. In the Nine States, if one really wanted to investigate, they would be able to find out that he was born in Qingzhou City.
If it were just his place of birth, it wouldn’t be worthy of suspicion. However, his growth, gifts, and the status that Yu Sheng had today, all of it pointed to an extraordinary background. Furthermore, when he was cultivating in the Nine States, there were details and hints that led others to speculate that he was related to Emperor Ye Qing.
Of course, this relation couldn’t be proven because Qingzhou City had already vanished. Other than Yu Sheng, Jieyu, and his teacher Hua Fengliu, no one knew about his secrets.
As such, the most they could do was to speculate.
As for his true origin, it was even less likely that people would find out about it since he himself didn’t even know.
Well then, who knew?
Why did Emperor Ye Qing treat him that way back then? What was the relationship between them?
The people who spread the rumors out there clearly had ulterior motives. In the Divine Prefecture, Emperor Ye Qing was taboo; the sa went for the Original Realm. Even a statue of Emperor Ye Qing wouldn’t be tolerated, let alone soone related to him.
Clearly, the person who spread the rumor wanted to use the Imperial Palace’s power to destroy him.
What situation would he be facing after this?
He had no way of knowing. Donghuang the Great was a prodigy of the era. He had united the Land of the Divine Prefecture and driven the Path of Martial Arts to flourish. Ignoring all else and just focusing on Donghuang the Great himself, he was an unparalleled, marvelous individual. But, how would he deal with people and things that had anything to do with Emperor Ye Qing?
One could roughly guess based on what happened to Snow Ape back then.
Emperor Ye Qing was a taboo figure in the Divine Prefecture. No one dared to ntion him. Perhaps it was because he was taboo in the eyes of Donghuang the Great, and no one dared to provoke him.
Fang Gai looked toward Ye Futian after he’d told him about the situation. Ye Futian had been calm all along; it seed that he was thinking about sothing. At this mont, Fang Gai realized that the rumors out there could actually be real.
Ye Futian was actually related to Emperor Ye Qing.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm now and not even say a word.
No wonder!
Fang Gai sighed. It was no wonder Ye Futian’s talents were almost unmatched in this era, regardless of whether it was Four Corner Village or out in the world, or when facing the inheritance of Great Emperors. On every occasion, he had displayed unbelievable talent. It was as though receiving the inheritance of Great Emperors was as simple as grabbing sothing from his own pocket—all of it could be easily cracked and understood.
Fang Gai had long thought that Ye Futian’s talents, which saw nearly no limit, were possibly owed to an extraordinary background.
But he didn’t expect that it would be because he was related to Emperor Ye Qing.
If it were true, was it even possible for the Divine Prefecture Imperial Palace to let him off?
At this mont, Fang Gai was greatly concerned for Ye Futian. This was different from antagonizing the various forces of the Divine Prefecture. While those forces all wanted to deal with Ye Futian, they weren’t united, and Ye Futian fended them off with just one battle at the Heavenly Mandate Academy. But if the Imperial Palace wanted to deal with them, they would be powerless.
The entire Land of the Divine Prefecture had to follow the orders of the Imperial Palace.
Just then, a divine light of space flashed from the Great Matrix of Inheritance inside the Imperial Palace. It was followed by waves of powerful auras that quickly spread out in the area. A group of powerful cultivators dashed through the air from afar. These were Devil World cultivators. It was Yu Sheng arriving with reinforcents.
Yu Sheng knew the most about Ye Futian’s identity; he knew almost everything about Ye Futian. After he’d received the news, he imdiately ca over to see Ye Futian.
“Yu Sheng.” Ye Futian saw that Yu Sheng was coming and called out to him.
Yu Sheng landed directly beside Ye Futian. He looked at the people around them.
“We should go for a walk,” Ye Futian said. The two of them left and ca to the top of a building.
“You can co to the Devil World with ,” Yu Sheng said to Yu Futian. After he’d heard the news, he ca right away intending to bring Ye Futian back to the Devil World. Once Ye Futian entered the Devil World and was under the aegis of the Devil Emperor, even Donghuang the Great wouldn’t find it easy to deal with him.
Furthermore, with Ye Futian’s talents, he would be greatly valued even in the Devil World.
Ye Futian didn’t answer. His gaze extended far into the distance. From Qingzhou City back then till now, there was an invisible hand controlling everything, including the path of his growth. Where would his godfather be now?
Who was he, and who was Yu Sheng?
His godfather must know the answers to all of this.
He didn’t co out to stop all this from happening. Perhaps, this wasn’t a dead end.
“Yu Sheng, have you thought that if even you already received the news and ca here, how is it possible that the cultivators over at the Imperial Palace don’t know yet?” Ye Futian said, “If they really wanted to do anything to , naturally, they would already be monitoring here. Leave? I don’t think it’s that simple. It could even infuriate those on their side. Rather than leave, it’s better for us to watch and see what happens. Let’s observe what the Imperial Palace will do.”
“You’re going to admit it?” Yu Sheng looked toward Ye Futian. Even soone as calm and steadfast as him was getting a little nervous. This whole thing would have too great an implication; it could cause the doom of Ye Futian. He couldn’t keep his cool.
“Did you know that back then in the Nine State, I t Princess Donghuang several tis? Now that the news has spread, how is it possible that she can’t guess what’s happening?” Ye Futian said. The first ti he t Princess Donghuang was in the Beast Mountain of Qingzhou City. She had been there to capture the Snow Ape, and he had been there too.
If he claid that that was a coincidence because he was from Qingzhou, what happened afterward would verify that it was unlikely to be a re coincidence. As long as the people from the Imperial Palace investigated it, they would find many clues that would lead to the truth.
The next ti they saw each other, Princess Donghuang brought Mr. Du of the Cottage away.
It was nearly impossible to hide all of this.
“How are you going to admit it?” Yu Sheng asked.
Ye Futian looked toward him and answered, “Because of a coincidence, I encountered Emperor Ye Qing’s remnant soul while I was sightseeing in the Beast Mountains of Qingzhou City. I was then enlightened by his teachings.”
It was now impossible to claim that they were totally unrelated. But saying it this way would already explain many things.
The statent could be understood differently—the remnant soul’s teachings could be just advice, or it could be an inheritance.
Yu Sheng’s brows were locked tight together. Would the Imperial Palace really let Ye Futian go just by saying that?
But at the very least, they could not admit that there was any other form of relationship between Ye Futian and Emperor Ye Qing; it could only be an accidental encounter at Qingzhou City. If there were any other connections between them, it would be even less likely that the Imperial Palace would let Ye Futian go.
“It’s the best that we can do,” Ye Futian said softly. Everything else would be up to fate.
This was the problem that he was worried about all along. There was bound to be one day where so traces of his past would resurface and expose him, but he didn’t expect those from the Divine Prefecture to be the ones behind it. He didn’t even know who intentionally revealed the news, but he knew that it had been done with truly vicious intentions.
Outside, cultivators from all across the world rushed toward the Ziwei Segntum. Ye Futian turned out to be related to Emperor Ye Qing. Naturally, they would want to see how things would be resolved.
At this ti, outside the Ziwei Segntum, in the boundless space of void, the most powerful organizations of the Divine Prefecture had already arrived. They were unable to pass through the Teleportation Grand Matrix, so they had to fly over. They stood atop the celestial skies and looked over at the Ziwei Segntum. This whole segntum was the legacy of a Great Emperor who stood at the apex of the ancient era. Today, it was controlled by Ye Futian.
However, the vicissitude of the situation was certainly unexpected. Ye Futian was said to be related to Emperor Ye Qing. The Imperial Palace probably wouldn’t let this slip. This phenonal cultivator, who had risen from the Heavenly Mandate Realm, made a na all across the Divine Prefecture and even attracted the attention of various apex cultivators, would have his life. threatened
How would the Imperial Palace deal with Ye Futian?
