Chapter 2075: Familiar Place

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

No one imagined that the Donghua Banquet, which had shaken the Donghua Domain, would end in such a fashion. If it weren’t for the incidents that occurred after, Ye Futian and Chen Yi would have become prominent figures in the Donghua Domain. They would have unlimited glory, and the Wangshen Watchtower would also be basking in the sun.

However, the name of Wangshen Watchtower was eventually eliminated by the Chief from the Donghua Domain. Ye Futian and the Millet Emperor were being hunted down. The Domain Chief’s Manor issued warrants for their arrests.

In that battle, many Renhuangs perished. Among them were many famous figures such as Thousand Arms Sword Emperor. He had fallen to Chen Yi. Many people witnessed how powerful Chen Yi truly was in that battle.

Of course, there was also Ye Futian; he actually possessed the will of the emperor.

After a few days, news came from Domain Chief’s Manor that Ye Liunian was not his real name. Rumor had it that Domain Chief’s Manor investigated and found out that Ye Liunian was actually Ye Futian. He was from the Original Realm—an ancient world that most people in the Divine Prefecture were unfamiliar with.

Rumor has it that the members of the top forces of other domains had been the ones who discovered this. Ye Futian was from the Original Realm and had made many enemies there. He was extremely famous in the Original Realm. He had entered the God’s relic before and had obtained the will of the emperor from there. He was a monstrous existence who had a major fateful encounter.

Only then did the world know why Ye Futian was so powerful. It turned out that his origins were extraordinary. He was more than just a mere cultivator of Eastern Deity Island.

Aside from that, many people were curious about another person. It was the cultivator who had taken Ye Futian from the hands of Vice Chief Ning Hua. The cultivator had a flawless eighth-tier Great Path and had not revealed his power before in the Donghua Domain. No one in the Domain knew about such an existence. Who was he?

Where had Ye Futian been brought to now?

…

On a continent far from the Donghua Heavens, on an island in the vast ocean region, a beam of flowing light shot across the sky and landed on the island. Two of these figures were Ye Futian and Chen Yi. The other person was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He appeared very ordinary. From his appearance, no one could possibly imagine that this person had a flawless Great Path that was at the peak of the eighth-tier. His combat ability was astounding, and he was the strongest person below the giant level figures. Even Ning Hua had been pushed back by him.

Ye Futian looked around at their surroundings. He glanced around at the familiar island. He felt his heart stir when he figured out who had helped him.

“You should know by now,” the middle-aged man said as he smiled at Ye Futian. “I received orders from my master to cut off Ning Hua. Fortunately, I made it in time. After that, I brought you back here.”

“Many thanks, Senior,” Ye Futian said as he bowed slightly. If it were just him and Chen Yi, they would not have necessarily been able to escape Ning Hua’s pursuit. The other party had no intention of giving up.

“There is no need. You should be thanking my master instead,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

“It was nothing. There is no need to thank me.” Two silhouettes emerged from the courtyard ahead. Both were people Ye Futian recognized. When he saw the two of them emerge, Ye Futian bowed and greeted, “Emperor Xi, Senior Skylord.”

The person who had helped him was Emperor Xi, who was also the master of the middle-aged man.

Ye Futian had heard before that Emperor Xi had not taken any disciples. It appeared that the rumors were false. Emperor Xi had taken in a disciple. It was just that he had not made it public. The disciple had cultivated on Turtle Deity Island all this while and had never made an appearance. Hence, no one knew of him.

Emperor Xi nodded his head slightly. He introduced Ye Futian, saying, “This is my disciple, Yang Wuqi. He rarely ventures outside. Hence, he does not know many people. I am sure the people outside also do not know who he is.”

Ye Futian nodded his head slightly. From the looks of it, Yang Wuqi was Emperor Xi’s secret disciple.

“I witnessed everything that occurred during the Donghua Banquet this time. Some things were not your fault. You also have extraordinary talent and should not perish just like that. Hence, I ordered Wuqi to head over. Fortunately, he held off Ning Hua,” continued Emperor Xi as he looked at Ye Futian. “It was a shame that he could not make it there sooner. Zong Chan’s death was a pity.”

When Ye Futian heard Emperor Xi mention Zong Chan, he also felt sad. Zong Chan’s talent was exceptional, and his Great Path was flawless. However, his death felt so wrong.

All of this was because of the Chief.

However, Emperor Xi did not say any more about this. After all, the fact that it involved the Domain Chief’s Manor made it more complicated. It was already very difficult for Emperor Xi to have helped them. If word of this got out, he would offend three superpowers. Even though Emperor Xi’s cultivation was high, it would still pose a risk to him.

Ye Futian bowed as he said, “For me to be able to escape, no matter what, I must thank Emperor Xi and Senior Yang for your help. Although my cultivation is low, if there is an opportunity in the future and Senior has any request at all, no matter where I am, I will certainly rush over to fulfill it.”

“I have already said that you do not need to thank me. For me, this is nothing. Even if the Chief finds out, he cannot do anything to me,” Emperor Xi said calmly. “The Chief will certainly report the incidents during the Donghua Banquet to the Imperial Palace. Before this, it was Eastern Deity Island. Now, it is the Wangshen Watchtower. If there are any more disturbances in the Donghua Domain, the Imperial Palace most likely will have questions.”

Of course, Emperor Xi helped out because he had broken through to the next Plane. He had already prepared himself. When he faced the second stage of his divine tribulation, he might perish. Hence, he did as he pleased now and did not have any qualms about doing so.

Currently, Emperor Xi might not have imagined that he had benefited himself by helping Ye Futian this time.

Ye Futian also did not say anymore. He understood what Emperor Xi meant. At the end of the day, the Chief was the person charged to oversee the Donghua Domain. If the Donghua Domain were turned upside down, he would not come out unscathed.

Moreover, the will of Donghuang the Great was for martial arts to prosper. However, Ning Yuan had dealt with Eastern Deity Island and then the Wangshen Watchtower, stirring up trouble. If he caused any more trouble, he would most likely draw the attention of Donghuang the Great.

Emperor Xi continued, “Domain Chief’s Manor has already issued warrants for your capture in the Donghua Domain. They are investigating the various forces. They might even send people to search the top forces. It is safer here on Turtle Deity Island. Unless Ning Yuan comes in person, no one else would dare search here. Both of you may cultivate here for some time. Once the commotion has died down, you can make plans for later.”

“Alright,” replied Ye Futian as he gladly accepted Emperor Xi’s offer. Although the Donghua Domain was very big, they would still be in danger if they went outside. Once the commotion died down, the chances of Domain Chief’s Manor finding him would be lower. Of course, the precursor to that was that Ye Futian did not draw attention to himself.

Emperor Xi nodded slightly and said, “I have already ordered people to monitor the island. No one is to approach this area. On the island, you can walk around freely and cultivate as you please. You do not need to feel hindered.”

Although Emperor Xi rescued Ye Futian from the clutches of the Domain Chief’s Manor, he did not seem to be concerned about having done so. His ability was powerful, so he had a certain level of confidence. His will could also cover the entire Turtle Deity Island in a single sweep. He naturally had absolute control over the island. Who would dare betray him?

This place was a world ruled by Emperor Xi.

Ye Futian nodded his head. Emperor Xi smiled and turned to leave. Thunder Punishing Skylord gave Ye Futian a look as he smiled and said, “Focus on cultivating. You do not need to worry about other things. Improving your ability is everything now.”

Ye Futian understood Thunder Punishing Skylord’s meaning; he was telling Ye Futian not to be anxious about seeking revenge. He could only improve his ability for now.

Although they did not discuss much how this storm had started, they all knew that the Domain Chief’s Manor intended to deal with Wangshen Watchtower. Ye Futian had been forced to kill while he was being pursued. His crime was completely unwarranted and was merely an excuse.

The Wangshen Watchtower suffered heavy casualties this time. Zong Chan was killed, and Ye Futian was constantly being pursued. It was natural for him to hate Domain Chief’s Manor to his bones. He would make sure to pay them back.

Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord turned to leave. They acted so casually, as though they had done something not worth mentioning.

“Ye Liunian is my alias. My real name is Ye Futian. I am from the Original Realm,” Ye Futian said to the two silhouettes. He had declared his real name because he did not want to face Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord with a fake identity. This storm had also grown so large. He had even been forced to unleash the will of the emperor. Many people would certainly notice this, including those from other Realms.

He could no longer keep his identity hidden. The other forces would soon know that he was still alive and come to the Divine Prefecture.

Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord stopped in their tracks. They then smiled and continued walking. They did not seem to mind who Ye Futian was or where he came from. They helped Ye Futian purely because they wanted to help him. That was all!
