BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2247 - Support
Chapter 2247: Support
“Master!” Jiang Yueli shouted at the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow’s Sword Goddess, who was standing beside her. Qin Qing also looked at her master. They had been in contact with Ye Futian in the past. Nothing else needed to be said about Ye Futian’s talent. It had been proven more than once before.
They had wanted to become Ye Futian’s friend for a long time. Qin Qing and Ye Futian’s relationship in the past was also quite good.
Now, Ye Futian was facing a life-or-death situation, and he needed some friends to stand up and support him. As long as people voiced their support one after another, the situation could be reversed. After all, many of the factions of the Divine Prefecture did not display strong hostility. In truth, most were here to observe.
Killing Ye Futian and snatching away Great Emperor Ziwei’s inheritance... With so many top factions around, even if they were to really kill Ye Futian, who would the Great Emperor’s inheritance belong to?
They would still have to fight for it anyway. Were all the factions going to start another war for it?
As such, the factions that were truly determined to kill Ye Futian were only those that held grudges against Ye Futian. In addition, there were those from the Dark Court and Empty Divine Realm – powers that could not wait for the world to fall into chaos and disorder. They could not wait for the Divine Prefecture factions to divide and break out into violent conflict.
At that time, many people felt a powerful aura emerge. In that instant, many raised their head to look up into the sky. As they looked up, several figures took a step forward. Every single one of them was an exceptional figure. The aura emanating from each of their body was extremely frightening.
Slight facial expression changes could be seen on the faces of a few people from the top factions of Donghua Domain the moment these people emerged. Ning Hua’s gaze became particularly interesting when he saw the cultivators in the sky step up.
“He is right. My fellow compatriots from the Divine Prefecture, why did the Great Emperor open the passageway? You should consider this carefully. If you ally with the powers from the outer realms against our own Divine Prefecture factions, would the Imperial Palace have nothing to say?” The person leaped into the sky and said loudly, “As a practitioner of the Divine Prefecture, Ye Futian taking the power of Great Emperor Ziwei’s inheritance should be a great occasion. At least Great Emperor Ziwei’s Inheritance did not get stolen.”
Those people walked downward. Ning Hua looked at them. He did not look too good. He could vaguely guess some of the events that occurred in the past.
It was truly them. Only they could have saved Ye Futian back then.
However, why would this elder who had retreated from the world and lived on Turtle Deity Island extend his hand to help Ye Futian?
To the point that he had come here, on this day, to support Ye Futian.
This person was an influential and top figure from the Divine Ocean Continent’s Turtle Deity Island, an incredibly powerful being who had passed the first Great Path Divine Tribulation, Emperor Xi. On his side was the Thunder Punishing Skylord. In addition, two others were beside him, and they were the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng.
Emperor Xi’s action was no longer a secret anymore.
One should know that the grudge between the Millet Emperor and the main house of Donghua Domain was intense, to the point where it was life-or-death. With Emperor Xi leading them today, no words were necessary for one to know the meaning.
They no longer cared about the views of the domain’s main house chief anymore.
The practitioners of Donghua Domain instantly understood the moment they saw that scene. They would never have imagined Emperor Xi appearing at that moment to support Ye Futian.
Naturally, the most surprised person was Ye Futian himself. He did not only see Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord, but also the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng.
The Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng... These two elders helped and cared for him a lot back in the day.
“Emperor Xi. Lord.” Ye Futian first bowed slightly towards Emperor Xi and Thunder Punishing Skylord before shifting his gaze to look at the Millet Emperor and Li Changsheng; a smile could be seen in his eyes.
“We still managed to come in time after all,” Li Changsheng said, smiling.
Millet Emperor walked to Ye Futian’s side and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he said, “I’ve heard a lot about you. Not bad.”
“Elder, have you been well?” Ye Futian asked.
“Yes, my injury has almost fully recovered.” Millet Emperor smiled and nodded. After that, he looked around at the cultivators around them in the sky and said, “We can fight now.”
“Count me in,” said someone. Emperor Xi, Millet Emperor, and various others shifted their gaze towards the person who spoke. The person who walked out was actually the Sword Goddess of the Divine Palace of Flutterring Snow. This surprised Ye Futian slightly. He did not think that the Sword Goddess would step up to support him at a time like this.
The Sword Goddess’ gaze was sharp as she looked around at the cultivators around and said, “Emperor Xi’s words are exactly what I wanted to do. Everyone from the Divine Prefecture, tread lightly. If you do not want to help the Heavenly Mandate Academy, that’s fine. But if you really intend to join hands with the practitioners of the other realms, the Imperial Palace will surely be unhappy. Moreover, several domains’ main houses are present here today, right? You have come here. I am sure your respective chiefs have given you their instructions. Should we not have the same enemies?”
Indeed, many cultivators that came today belonged to the main houses in their domains, including Donghua Domain’s main house’s chief Ning Hua, the vice chief of Shangqing Domain’s main house, Zhou Muhuang, as well as the main houses of other domains.
However, they did not intend to go against Ye Futian, nor had they displayed any intention of assisting him. They continued to watch. The possibility of them personally issuing commands for the cultivators to target Ye Futian was quite low. If that were the case, it would be difficult for them to offer an explanation to the Imperial Palace.
“Sword Goddess of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow. No wonder you are the strongest Female Renhuang of our Donghua Domain,” said Emperor Xi, laughing. That courage was a rare sight to behold.
“Thank you, palace lord.” Ye Futian bowed slightly at the Sword Goddess. To stand up for him at this time, he would remember this friendship forever.
“You’re being polite.” The Sword Goddess did not pay him any mind. Her sharp eyes moved as her gaze shifted towards the sky. Then, she said, “Nowadays, turmoil is imminent. An amazing person has appeared in our Divine Prefecture, yet, even though every one of us should be helping him grow, you are considering working with forces from the outer realms to deal with a genius from our own Divine Prefecture; to fight among ourselves and weaken the overall strength of the Divine Prefecture... Even if the Great Emperor does not convict you, people will remember this. I want you all to consider this carefully.”
The cultivators who stepped out successively were quite influential. Their words affected many people. This battle... Those from the Divine Prefecture really should reconsider joining in.
“It is an inheritance. There is nothing wrong with a cultivator taking it away.” A cold voice appeared. Then, a sharp blade of light descended from above, and in the sky, a mighty figure appeared. He stood there. It looked as if he was indestructible, like a sharp sword that could shock the world.
“The Master of Taichu Sparring Grounds.” Ye Futian immediately knew the identity of this person when he saw him. The number one cultivator of the Holy Land of Taichu’s Taichu Sparring Grounds. The Swordmaster of Taichu. He was also the person who injured Lord Taixuan.
Seeing him stand there, the gazes of the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy and several other factions were cold. Back then, they were pushed to the brink by this Swordmaster of Taichu. Lord Taixuan’s swordsmanship also suffered severely.
“Everyone, if you really want to keep delaying this, the situation might become more difficult to control,” Gai Cang looked around at the cultivators and said. Earlier, quite a few factions had agreed to ally together and kill Ye Futian.
If they allowed Ye Futian’s supporters to continue talking, more people might start to waver.
The cultivators from all sides released powerful might. The practitioners of the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm were mostly already prepared to strike. They had nothing to worry about. They had nothing to do with Great Emperor Donghuang’s accusations or convictions. It was also difficult for Ye Futian to seek revenge against them. Moreover, they could also weaken the Divine Prefecture’s strength with this. Why would they hold back?
As such, they naturally did not mind making a move.
“Internal affairs of the Divine Prefecture will be resolved internally. No matter what, forces from the outside have no business interfering,” said a powerful voice. The person who spoke stood at a certain spot, and several powerful beings surrounded him.
Ye Futian raised his head and looked over. He was from the Divine Prefecture; however, Ye Futian was not familiar with him.
After all, there were 18 domains in the Divine Prefecture, and he had only been to the Donghua and Shangqing domains. So, he only knew the top figures of the two domains. The practitioners from the other domains... even if they stood right in front of him, he would not be able to recognize them.
While Ye Futian did not recognize him, many people did know who he was. The person who spoke was a cultivator from the main house of the Taishang Domain. Moreover, the Taishang Domain was one of the stronger domains among the 18 domains. It was closer to the Divine Prefecture Imperial Domain and was incredibly powerful.
The words of the cultivator from the main house of the Taishang Domain naturally carried a lot of weight. Once he spoke, many cultivators from the Divine Prefecture had odd expressions on their faces. His words were targeting the cultivators from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm.
He excluded them. Issues concerning Ye Futian were all the Divine Prefecture’s internal affairs.
It seemed like someone strong wanted to support Ye Futian. They did not want external forces to be involved in this event. At the very least, they did not want the Divine Prefecture and the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm to deal with Ye Futian together.
Then, from the direction of the Dark World’s factions, a top figure asked, “Are you guys still going to take it or not?” Now, the cultivators who wanted to kill Ye Futian were in the worst spot. Gai Cang and the others seemed to have been put in a passive position.
Powerful cultivators had voiced their support for Ye Futian one after another. Moreover, in the name of justice, the people from Divine Prefecture did not dare to act rashly. However, Gai Cang’s group was not like most others; if they did not kill Ye Futian, only death awaited them.
Now, the factions from the Void Realm were truly in the back seat!
