Chapter 2667: The Death of Ning Yuan

Ye Futians group continued on their journey to find fateful encounters. They pa.s.sed by many relics that others had already plundered. They also saw many battles, but they did not partic.i.p.ate in any of them.

Now, battles to plunder cultivation resources were erupting everywhere across the entire ancient barren continent.

The cultivation resources on this ancient continent were all previously unimaginable. Before this, no one managed to come in contact with such resources. Now, they would put their lives on the line to obtain them, even if there was only a sliver of a chance.

Right then, another battle erupted elsewhere. Ye Futian initially wanted to ignore it and leave, but he saw some familiar figures. He couldnt help but reveal a strange expression. He never imagined that there would be such a coincidence.

The Millet Emperor also looked over in the direction of the battle. He narrowed his gaze slightly as a cold look appeared in his eyes.

They saw the Donghua Domain Chief, Ning Yuan, and the cultivators of the various forces of the Donghua Domain over there.

They had also entered the tomb of the G.o.ds. However, right now, they were in big trouble. They were fighting against other cultivators. These people were top forces from the Dark World, and they were already suppressing Ning Yuans group.

Lets go take a look, Ye Futian said indifferently. They then headed in that direction and observed the battle from a closer distance. Although both sides were fighting, their spiritual wills enveloped the surrounding s.p.a.ce. They also noticed the arrival of Ye Futians group. The latter stood in the sky with terrifying auras and cultivation planes, causing the cultivators of the Dark World to be cautious.

Ning Yuans expression was very ugly. They were already facing danger here. He never imagined that they would also encounter Ye Futian.

Back then, Ning Hua was killed, and Ning Yuan always planned to take revenge. However, his cultivation talent was limited, and it was difficult for him to improve further. Hence, he had come to the tomb of the G.o.ds to seek opportunities. However, they had encountered the cultivators of the Dark World and were fighting over cultivation resources here.

Palace Lord Ye, a clear voice called out. Ye Futian looked over toward the battlefield. It was Qin Qing. The Sword G.o.ddess from Ice Temple was already injured. She was struggling together with a few female disciples. The cultivators of the Dark World facing them revealed evil looks. They seemed to be intentionally suppressing the members of the Ice Temple and were not anxious to kill them. They wanted them alive.

Sir, please mind your own business, a cultivator said as he looked over at Ye Futians group. He sensed that latter had powerful auras. He was somewhat wary.

They are my friends, Ye Futian said as he pointed to the Ice Temple members.

The other party frowned, but they did not stop attacking. Duo Yu stepped forward with his long spear in his hand. He released a destructive aura, and with a flash of his figure, he immediately disappeared from his original spot. A cultivator from the Dark World attempted to block his path. The Spear of Reincarnation descended and instantly brought the cultivator into an illusion. With a swoosh, the spear stabbed into his throat.

The other cultivators who were attacking Qin Qing and the others instantly stopped. They had ugly expressions on their faces. Duo Yus eyes were bizarre. His Eye of Samsara swept toward the crowd. No one dared to look him in the eye.

My master will not repeat his words, said Duo Yu.

His tone was somewhat cold and cruel, causing these cultivators to be extremely cautious. They then stepped down and asked, Are the others your friends as well?

Those over there are, replied Ye Futian as he pointed in the direction of a group of cultivators from the Luotian Continent of the Donghua Domain. He had a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Jiuming back then.

From the Donghua Domain, Emperor Xi from Turtle Deity Island in the Divine Ocean Continent, the Millet Emperor from the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, and G.o.ddess Donglai from Eastern Deity Island and the other cultivators were now in Ziwei Imperial Palace. Among the other forces of the domain, aside from Ice Temple, only Jiang Jiuming had any relations with Ye Futian.

As for the other forces, not much needed to be said about Domain Chiefs Manor. Back then, they had tried to kill Ye Futian together with the Yan clan from the Yanyun Continent and Ling Xiao Palace.

Let them go. The cultivator from the Dark World waved his hand and immediately let Jiang Jiuming and the others go. Jiang Jiumings group bowed slightly toward Ye Futian and said, Many thanks, Palace Lord Ye.

Ye Futians current ident.i.ty was already not something they could compare with anymore.

Even one of Ye Futians disciples stepping out was enough to shock the crowd, let alone Ye Futian himself.

Be on your way, replied Ye Futian as he nodded. Then, Jiang Jiuming and the others saluted with their fists and left.

Sword G.o.ddess from Ice Temple, Qin Qing, and the others came over to Ye Futian. They saluted with their fists and said, Many thanks, Palace Lord Ye.

We are all old friends. Senior, you need not be polite, replied Ye Futian as he bowed back. Back then, a group of Ice Temple members once cultivated in Ziwei Imperial Palace. It was only because the Donghuang Imperial Palace later broke ties with Ye Futian over the issue of Emperor Ye Qing that it was inconvenient for both parties to maintain relations.

Qin Qing, Jiang Yueli, and Chu Hanxi, these three G.o.ddesses from Ice Temple, also close with Ye Futian.

Palace Lord Ye, please lend me a hand, a voice called out. The person asking for help was Taihua Mountain Lord. He and G.o.ddess Taihua were engaged in a fierce battle and were at the short end of the stick.

Ye Futian took a glance at them and ignored their pleas for help. Taihua Mountain Lord, Taihua Skylord, treated him poorly in the past. The former allied with the Domain Chiefs Manor to attack him. Ye Futian had once allowed G.o.ddess Taihua to inherit an Imperial Star. However, the other party was wary of him, so he allowed another G.o.ddess.

Since Ice Temple and another faction left the battlefield, the cultivators who were attacking them before this joined their comrades in fighting against the cultivators of the Domain Chiefs Manor. The Domain Chiefs Manor was at an even greater disadvantage now.

Your force belongs to the Donghua Domain. Do you plan to stay out of this just like that? Ning Yuan barked. He naturally did not expect Ye Futian to a.s.sist him. Ye Futian was already being courteous by not killing him. Ning Yuans question was directed at Sword G.o.ddess.

Sword G.o.ddess looked at Ning Yuan and announced, The world is in chaos now. Many things have changed. Ice Temple is not affiliated with any faction, to begin with. Its just that our cultivation base has always been in the Divine Prefecture. I have decided. Ice Temple will move our base to the Ziwei Segmentum from now on.

Traitors! Ning Yuan cursed. He unleashed his Grand Seal Great Path to its maximum limit, but the enemy still besieged him.

Palace Lord Ye, are you willing to take us in? Sword G.o.ddess asked Ye Futian. Qin Qing and the others revealed joyful expressions. They were certainly supportive of this decision.

Senior is willing to join the Ziwei Segmentum for cultivation. Of course, I welcome all of you. Ziwei Imperial Palace will prepare a spot for Ice Temple, Ye Futian replied with a smile. He naturally wouldnt mind having cultivators join his alliance.

From now on, we are the subordinates of Palace Lord Ye, Qin Qing said with a grin as she looked at Ye Futian.

Upon hearing Qin Qings joke, Ye Futian teased, In that case, G.o.ddess Qin has to obey whatever I say in the future. Qin Qing felt slightly embarra.s.sed after hearing his words. Her reaction caused Ye Futian, Jiang Yueli, and the others to burst out in laughter.

At the back, Little Condor mumbled, There he goes again. However, he didnt dare to say it out loud. He was afraid of being beaten up by Ye Futian.

Bang.

Right now, both Ning Yuan and Taihua Skylord faced a difficult situation on the battlefield. Their lives would end here. G.o.ddess Taihua was injured as well. All her guqin strings snapped.

Its a shame that I cant kill him with my own hands, Li Changsheng said. Both the Millet Emperor and he wanted to slay Ning Yuan with their own hands to avenge their Junior Brother. However, Donghuang the Great might catch wind of whatever they did here. Therefore, they held back from attacking Ning Yuan so that Donghuang Imperial Palace would not use this as an excuse to target them.

It was rather satisfying to watch Ning Yuan being tortured to death.

Attacks landed on Ning Yuan one after another. He spat out mouthfuls of blood, and his situation was complicated. To the side, Ye Futian and his group watched all this quietly. Finally, a spear stabbed into Ning Yuans head, and the Great Path of Death surged into his body like a flood. The power of death corroded his vitality. Ning Yuan screamed in agony and struggled. Yet another spear of darkness stabbed into his body and pinned him on his spot. He died tragically.

Ye Futian and the others put on indifferent expressions to witness Ning Yuan dying in battle. On the other side, Taihua Skylord fought alone and was similarly hopeless.

Palace Lord Ye, I am willing to give you Divine Melody Taihua in exchange for your aid, Taihua Skylord cried.

I am not lacking in Divine Melodies, Ye Futian rejected him emotionlessly. He was already proficient in three Divine Melodies.

Taihua Skylords face turned as pale as a sheet. Yet another heavy blow landed on him. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura turned weak. Seeing that his own daughter, G.o.ddess Taihua, was still struggling in an arduous fight, Taihua Skylord was overwhelmed with despair. He looked at Ye Futian and said, Palace Lord Ye, whatever happened in the past was all my own doing. My daughter was not involved. She was merely executing my commands. I will take responsibility for my own mistakes. My daughter will give you Divine Melody Taihua. I hope you will save her.

As he said this, a jet-black long spear pierced through his heart.

Father! G.o.ddess Taihua wailed with a pale expression. Right at this moment, a palm slammed down on her, but it did not kill her directly.

Deal, Ye Futian responded when he saw that Taihua Skylord was still staring at him. It seemed as though if Ye Futian did not agree to his request, Taihua Skylord would never die in peace.

Upon hearing Ye Futians response, Taihua Skylord actually felt exceptionally peaceful. He was very confident that his daughter would not die since Ye Futian had promised him so. If he had placed as much trust in Ye Futian in the past as he did now, he might not have ended up like this.

Let her go, Ye Futian told the cultivator who was grabbing on to G.o.ddess Taihua. The cultivator frowned. His facial expression was ugly. A few figures from Ye Futians group stepped forward while unleas.h.i.+ng terrifying might. The cultivator felt threatened by it, so he could only let G.o.ddess Taihua go.

Lets go. The cultivators who killed Ning Yuan and Taihua Skylord left one after another. The body of Taihua Skylord had been reduced to ashes. G.o.ddess Taihua moved towards the spot where her father perished. With both her hands, she scooped the ashes and stared blankly at the vast s.p.a.ce. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Ye Futian waited for a moment. Then, he said, Lets go.

G.o.ddess Taihua remained at her spot. She said coldly, I will give you Divine Melody Taihua, but I will not follow you.

Ye Futian frowned upon hearing her words. He said, I saved you not because I pitied you, but because your father begged me to. You are free to do as you wish. I dont plan to bring you along anyway.

As he said this, he left with his group to continue their journey. The others cast a cold glance at G.o.ddess Taihua. Even though she looked a little pitiful, she did not know what was good for herself. Taihua Skylord and Ye Futian had grudges to begin with. What made G.o.ddess Taihua think that Ye Futian would save his own enemy?

In the past, Taihua Skylord sided with Ning Yuan. Ye Futian had no reason to save the former.

If Taihua Skylords dying words hadnt made Ye Futian sympathetic, he would not have acted. He never imagined that G.o.ddess Taihua actually bore a grudge against him. Since that was the case, then he would leave her to meet her own end. In the tomb of the G.o.ds, her cultivation was insufficient to survive!
