Chapter 2537: Returning the Favor

Ye Futian paused in his tracks, the faces of the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace—all of whom had vicious intentions toward him—started to turn ugly.

“Palace Lord, this guy plundered the Ancient Emperor inheritance belonging to us West Imperial Palace” Someone still didn’t want to give up and tried to explain something.

“Shut up”

A divine might descended from the skies and landed directly on the person who spoke, making his face turn pale. The others who wanted to say something also instantly shut their mouth. All of them had a difficult expression in their eyes.

When the Palace Lord was angered, who dared to go against him?

Atop the West Imperial Palace, an apparition appeared there with unparalleled majesty and might. That was the Palace Lord of the West Imperial Palace.

“We have been very ill-mannered. May Renhuang Ye please forgive us.” They had to compromise and lower their heads to apologize to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian glanced at them as his face remained calm and composed. He didn’t think highly of these people at all, so what if they were cultivators from the Ancient Clan?

“No big deal,” Ye Futian said impa.s.sively and looked toward Xi Chiyao. “G.o.ddess Chiyao, I hope that the elixirs that I make in the future don’t land in the hands of these people.”

Although he said that it wasn’t a big deal, of course, he wasn’t that forgiving. Since these people thought that the AncientEmperor’ss inheritance belonged to them and wanted to seize it from him, these Sub-divine and Peak-imperial level elixirs would have nothing to do with them.

“Alright,” Xi Chiyao immediately agreed, as this was what she wanted to do as well. But if she had to do it herself, it would be a little more complicated. But now that Ye Futian personally said so she couldn’t go against his will, could she?

After all, these pills were made by Ye Futian.

The muscles on these cultivators’ faces started to stiffen up and turn really ugly. All they wanted previously was to deal with Ye Futian and seize the AncientEmperor’ss inheritance. But now, they found out that it seemed impossible. Only now did they realize that the things that Ye Futian handed over to Xi Chiyao were Sub-divine Elixirs, which was enough to let even top cultivators like them go one step further.

In the future, if they couldn’t get it…

As that thought crossed their minds, their expressions turned even more ugly. They glanced at Xi Chiyao, who was standing at the side. A thought suddenly surfaced in their minds.

Just now, Xi Chiyao was lagging one step behind them—did she do that on purpose?

She knew that the West Imperial Palacewouldn’tt lay their hands on Ye Futian, or one could even say that they are incapable of doing so. At the same time, Ye Futian definitely wouldn’t let her down. Could that be why she came a little later, just so there would be a conflict between Ye Futian and them?

Ye Futian also glanced at XI Chiyao. Clearly, he was suspecting the same thing. For the past period, Xi Chiyao was likely facing significant pressure within her family. Her family faction tried to quash her because she helped him back then and even wanted to seize her position as the G.o.ddess. She could use this opportunity to get revenge on them.

In fact, this in itself was a tacit form of compet.i.tion.

“I hope Renhuang Ye will not take offense to this.” Xi Chiyao saw the meaning in YeFutian’s gaze and secretly transmitted her voice to him. Ye Futian immediately understood that Xi Chiyao did it on purpose. She came a little late precisely because she wanted the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace to start a conflict with him.

“No worries.” Ye Futian didn’t get angry. After all, this whole thing happened because she helped him. For the past few days, when his arrival was delayed, Xi Chiyao faced much pressure from her family, so naturally, he couldn’t blame Xi Chiyao for it. After all, she was going through this ordeal for his sake.

“I knew Renhuang Yewouldn’tt let me down,” Xi Chiyao transmitted her voice again, sounding very gentle.

“Chiyao, hurry up and invite Renhuang Ye to take a seat up here,” the Lord of the West Imperial Palace said. Xi Chiyao looked toward Ye Futian with a smile as she s.h.i.+fted to the side and gestured with her hand. “Renhuang Ye, please.”

Ye Futian nodded and didn’t try to be overly polite with her. He stepped forward straight away, right past the West Imperial Palace cultivators.

Xi Chiyao followed him as well and left the rest of the cultivators to standing where they were. They all realized that this was part of XiChiyao’ss scheme, and this time, their faction was wholly and utterly lost.

So those pills really had nothing to do with them.

After calming down, they also realized why the Palace Lord had an att.i.tude like that. Ye Futian was only a peak-Renhuang level cultivator, yet he could bring a Sub-divine level Elixirs. What did that mean?

That meant that Ye Futian could even provide pills that would be beneficial to the Palace Lord’s cultivation in the future. Who could remain unmoved by that?

Even if they managed to seize the inheritance of the Ancient Lord, it would still be challenging to find an Alchemy Master of this level.

Furthermore, the inheritance had already been taken by Ye Futian. They might not be able to get it even if they contended for it now. If they were the Palace Lord, what would they choose?

Xi Chiyao brought Ye Futian and walked upwards. The buildings in the West Imperial Palace were unique, going from down to up with a sky stairwell in the middle. Palace cl.u.s.ters were located beside both sides of the sky stairwell. Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao went up diagonally along the sky stairwell; it was as though they were ascending above the clouds.

At its peak and the end of the sky stairwell was another cl.u.s.ter of palaces; there weren’t any more stairs. This was the area where the core members of the West Imperial Palace cultivated.

Ye Futian looked on both sides. It was as though he saw many palaces levitating atop the skies. They looked like the palaces of G.o.d. Straight ahead of him and high up above, there was a divine and holy-looking imperial palace unmatched by all the other palaces. That was the core of the entire West Imperial Palace. It looked as if it was atop the nine heavens.

Below Ye Futian, there were already mists and clouds floating, which showed how high they were.

A palace atop the skies, Ye Futian thought. This was the first time he had visited an Ancient G.o.d Clan organization. It was ancient but grandiose and majestic. It looked like the place where the G.o.ds cultivated, as depicted in the legends.

“It’s right in front there. That’s the Imperial Palace, and the Palace Lord is there,” Xi Chiyao looked toward the divine palace before them and said. On the divine palace, which looked as though it stood atop the Nine Heavens, where the clouds blurred the view, a figure stood there, marvelously majestic. That was the Lord of the West Imperial Palace. He was also awaiting YeFutian’s arrival, a smile on his face.

“Greetings to the Palace Lord from Ye.” Ye Futian nodded slightly. He didn’t bow down to him. At this point, he was not just Ye Futian—he was also the Palace Lord of the Ziwei Segmentum Imperial Palace. Wherever he went, he couldn’t bring shame upon this position.

The only reason why he nodded to greet the Palace Lord was that he was considered a junior, and the other person was the Palace Lord of an Imperial Palace. This was respect.

“Renhuang Ye,” the Lord of the West Imperial Palace greeted him with a smile. He then said, “Chiyao has always praised Renhuang Ye in front of me. She thinks very highly of you. You are the Renhuang that was able to shake up the West Sea Domain Chief’s Manor on his own. In the entirety of the Divine Prefecture, it’s unlikely to find a second person like Renhuang Ye.”

“That’s high praise, Palace Lord,” Ye Futian said. “It’s just that I’m a bit more well-versed in Celerity; it’s not actual power.”

“You are being humble. Zhong Miao is the second strongest in the Domain Chief’ss Manor,” the Palace Lord said with a smile. “Anyway, other things aside, the elixirs this time were made by Renhuang Ye as well, right?”

“Yes.” Ye Futian nodded. The West Imperial Palace Lord looked at him. When Ye Futian brought over the Sub-divine level elixirs, he had already rea.s.sessed his value. This man was a treasure himself!

Just now, when the cultivators wanted to attack him, the aura that Ye Futian had unleashed was no weaker than a Tribulation Levelcultivator’ss.

Everyone was speculating that Ye Futian relied on some external force, but was the truth really so?

It really might not be.

Sub-divine level elixirs weren’t something that could be created by a mere ninth-level Renhuang.

The Lord of the West Imperial Palace looked toward Xi Chiyao and said, “Chiyao, let me see the elixirs.”

“Yes.” Xi Chiyao nodded and took the elixirs Ye Futian had gifted them and handed them over to the Lord of the West Imperial Palace.

The sight of the pill was like a pebble that sent a slight rippled through the Lord of the West ImperialPalace’ss heart. He raised his head to look at Ye Futian and said, “These are high-grade elixirs, very high grade. Even within the same level, it trumps over the pills made by the other Alchemy masters. Renhuang Ye’s path is just too perfect.”

Ye Futian didn’t say much. He came over to gift the elixirs partly because he wanted to befriend the Lord of the Imperial Palace. With an organization akin to that of an Ancient G.o.d Clan, of course, they wouldn’t just talk about friends.h.i.+p. After all, benefits always came first.

Because of that, he intentionally showed some of his capabilities.

“Chiyao, later on, bring Renhuang Ye to the Divine Arms Pavillion and choose a few Sub-divine Arms. Since Renhuang Ye had gifted us these elixirs, the West Imperial Palacecan’tt let him suffer a loss,” the West Imperial Palace Lord said.

Sub-divine Arms corresponded to the Sub-divine elixirs. They were weapons used to overcome the divine tribulation, and the only weapon superior in grade to them were actual Imperial Arms.

Only Ancient G.o.d clans dared to let him choose a few Sub-divine Arms so casually. Usually, the top cultivation force wouldn’t even be able to take out a few of those. Such was the collection of an Ancient G.o.d Clan, acc.u.mulated over countless years.

Something that Ye Futian understood, of course, the Lord of the West Imperial Palace understood as well. As long as he didn’t let Ye Futian leave suffering a loss, Ye Futian would continuously supply elixirs for the West Imperial Palace, which was what they lacked.

Although Sub-divine Arms were also extremely rare and precious, they owned quite a number. Furthermore, there was Tianyan City in the Divine Prefecture, which allowed them to trade for these weapons with other valuable items or even materials to forge them.

But Sub-divine Elixirs were in short supply in the Divine Prefecture.

Now that Ye Futian was capable of crafting elixirs of this level, in the future, there would likely be several organizations in the Divine Prefecture that would want to trade. So naturally, he, too, paid more attention to it.

“I’ve already made a promise to G.o.ddess Chiyao in the first place. How can I ask for something in return now.” Ye Futian shook his head and said, “G.o.ddess Chiyao and the West Imperial Palace helped me quite a bit in getting the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor.”

“We can put that aside. Besides, these Sub-divine Arms aren’t repayment for the elixir. It’s simply because Renhuang Ye is now the Lord of the Ziwei Imperial Palace, and you have many powerful cultivators under you. I’m sure that you need some weapons and arms for them.” The Lord of the West Imperial Palace continued, “Moreover, I also hope to strengthen the bond between Renhuang Ye and the West Imperial Palace.”

Both of them were smart people. An alliance where they could mutually benefit each other to improve would naturally be more stable. Both of them could provide value for the other party.

“Since the Lord says so, it would be rather unreasonable to continue refusing. So thank you very much.” Ye Futian nodded and didn’t continue turning him down. Just as the Lord of the West Imperial Palace had said, the Siwei Segmentum today lacked top-tier weapons and arms.

Although there wouldn’t be a lack of them in the future, it would obviously be a good thing if they could get some to improve their forces right now.

“Chiyao, bring Renhuang Ye over,” the West Imperial Palace Lord said.

“Yes.” Xi Chiyao nodded and said to Ye Futian, “Renhuang Ye, please.”

Ye Futian nodded toward the Lord of the West Imperial Palace, then followed behind Xi Chiyao toward the Divine Arms Pavillion. After the two of them left, an elder beside the Lord of the West Imperial Palace said, “Lord, YeFutian’s ident.i.ty is quite special. Are we allying with him?”

After all, Ye Futian’s ident.i.ty was a little sensitive.

“If it weren’t for his special ident.i.ty, we probably wouldn’t even get the chance,” the Lord of the West Imperial Palace said. He clearly didn’t mind it. If it were not for Ye Futian’s special ident.i.ty, the Donghuang Imperial would likely just take him in straight away!
