Chapter 2759 A Rumor

The Ruins Continent. After Ye Futian returned to this land through the tunnel from the Dark World, he could see that there was war everywhere below him. It was like a completely different world from when he had left.

But this was normal. After the war for the relics, they had entered an era of peace. Everyone began cultivating themselves, and countless people had improved, entering new realms. But even more had received nothing. Under this background, war had actually always been brewing

Now, the Dark Sovereign’s order caused the cultivators of the Dark World to ignite this battlefield, causing the pent-up emotions to burst out from countless cultivators’ hearts.

Ye Futian sped up and hurried down the road. He already knew when the wars had erupted and ordered the cultivators of the Ye Imperial Palace not to get involved in the fighting so impulsively. He himself had been trapped in the Dark Court. If they joined the war and an accident happened, it would be very troublesome.

Plus, the Ye Imperial Court had no Great Emperor. They did not have as much confidence.

The Dark Sovereign’s words actually did have some truth to it. Similarly, what the Lord Shaman had said before did not sound nice, but it was indeed true. The fact that he could live until now was partially true because the Master had interfered with Donghuang the Great. In addition, the Dark Court and Empty Mountain had allowed him to grow more powerful, letting him become the enemy of the Divine Prefecture.

Plus, the Human Realm did not have any conflicts with him at the moment. The Buddha of the Western Heaven Buddhists was quite friendly towards him. He could not find out right now if they were ingenuine as the Dark Sovereign had said, but at least for now, he did not feel it.

Under these circumstances, he was actually surviving between the cracks, but he did not know if this situation was because of the person controlling the chess pieces.

Ye Futian returned to the Ye Imperial Palace and went straight to the tallest palace. The strong figures of the Ye Imperial Palace had all gone up the steps and gathered towards thereafter they learned that Ye Futian was back. Soon, most of the core figures of the Ye Imperial Palace had arrived, gathering outside the palace.

Hua Jieyu also came out of the palace and came to Ye Futian’s side. Meanwhile, Ling Long stood quietly behind him. Xi Chiyao walked towards Ye Futian and stopped not too far from him. Smiling, she said, “You’re quite brave, even daring to go to the Dark Court.” They had all heard of the Dark Court before. The ruler of the Dark Court was a tyrant who controlled the darkness. Who knew what he would do? Ye Futian’s actions had been too risky.

“I’m back safely, am I not?” Ye Futian joked, not caring too much. He had run into some troubles during this trip, but it was actually quite successful. It was an experience and quite meaningful for him. Whether it was the woman in the Sacred Lake that he’d met in the Island of Miracles or what the Dark Sovereign had said to him, they all affected him to some point.

“Weren’t you worried what would happen to the Ye Imperial Palace if that tyrant grew angry and decided to make you stay there forever?” Xi Chiyao seemed quite unhappy with this. She thought that Ye Futian’s trip had been too stubborn and impulsive.

Even though she understood that Ye Futian cared deeply for friends, Ye Qingyao was still someone cultivated in the Dark Court. He was unable to change Ye Qingyao’s fate. In the end, it would be decided by the Dark Sovereign. Even if he could change anything, it was understandable in terms of emotions to make the Ye Imperial Palace fall into a crisis for Ye Qingyao. Still, rationally, it should not have been done.

Of course, she was not actually angry. If Ye Futian had not gone, he wouldn’t be himself. Perhaps this was also why he would have so many excellent people gathered around him, willingly following him. Many of these people had been following him as his seniors since Ye Futian was still weak.

“I’ll be more careful in the future.” Hearing Xi Chiyao’s demand, Ye Futian shook his head with a wry smile.

On the side, Hua Jieyu watched this scene with a smile.

“Ahem!” The old palace leader of the West Imperial Palace coughed, and Xi Chiyao’s expression instantly turned a bit strange. She said, “As your ally and ruler of the West Imperial Palace of the Ye Imperial Palace, I must remind Palace Lord Ye to think more of the big picture in the future.”

The surrounding people all looked at her. Many secretly smiled and glanced at Xi Chiyao and Ye Futian. Was she feeling guilty now?

They could not help but be impressed by the palace lord. He was truly powerful.

They heard that. So impressive.

“Okay.” Ye Futian nodded. He looked at everyone and abruptly became serious. “How is the outside world now?” he asked.

This question changed the topic, avoiding the awkward situation from earlier. The group did not focus on the small matter anymore either. After all, the Madame of the palace was still there. It wasn’t their place to worry about this. Even if the palace lord wanted a mistress, it would be the Madame’s problem. Xi Chiyao was also an extraordinary woman and the descendant of a Great Emperor, but they did not think anything was wrong with taking a mistress. After all, that was Ye Futian, their palace lord? What was wrong with a mistress or concubine?

After the palace lord became an emperor, then she would be the empress and be seen by the world.

“The fire of war burns everywhere, and forces from all six worlds are involved,” the Supreme Swordlord said. “It’s no longer a unified war. The forces of the six worlds are fighting independently, and there are endless conflicts between imperial palaces. The most intense of it all would be the Dark Court and Donghuang Imperial Palace. A huge battle between them not too long ago and will continue in the future. This battle might ignite all the accumulated conflicts of the six worlds and result in a chaotic war that surpasses what happened more than 400 years ago. This storm is growing stronger and stronger. It looks to be going out of control.”

Plus, no force of the six worlds even wanted to control the situation.

Or perhaps, a juncture had appeared in the Ruins Continent—the juncture of war. This place had many opportunities and inheritances left by many Great Emperors. This independent continent was suitable for a battleground.

This change would affect the setup of the six worlds and may even create some extraordinary people. No one knew if someone like a Great Emperor would arrive. “Yes.” Ye Futian nodded. “Any news from the Heaven Realm?”

“No.” The Supreme Swordlord shook his head. “I have not heard of the Heaven Realm joining the war. They’d disappeared after leaving the Old Heaven Court and are staying low as before.”

But Ye Futian frowned. The Heaven Realm was probably hoping to reap the benefits without doing anything. That Ji Wudao was extremely dangerous. He had felt this in the restricted area. This person had swallowed up many relic inheritances, and his potential was honestly terrifying

“There’s another news from the outside world,” the Supreme Swordlord continued.

“What news?” Ye Futian asked.

“It’s still a small rumor now and can’t be confirmed,” the Supreme Swordlord said. “It spread from the strong cultivators of the Human Realm. Apparently, the Human Ancestor of the Human Realm wishes for a marriage alliance with the Divine Prefecture. He might represent his disciple, Di Hao, to propose it to Donghuang the Great.”

Ye Futian’s pupils constricted. He was not sure what exactly had happened back then, but if this rumor was true, then the intent behind it could not be so simple-especially after connecting it to what the Dark Sovereign had said. The Human Ancestor may have taken part in that matter too.

Then what was the ulterior motive of this marriage proposal?
