Chapter 2163: Who Can View The Sacred Remains

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

Ye Futian had been inquiring about Blind Tie’s story in Four Corner Village. He learned which top force betrayed Blind Tie and stole the Divine Technique in the past.

There was a supergroup called the Demon Cloud Clan in the Lower Third Heavens of the Nine Heavens. The Demon Cloud Clan had a relatively short history compared to other sizable groups in the Shangqing Domain. It didn’t rise to power on account of a rich heritage. Instead, it was established and developed solely by one extraordinary and domineering cultivator—the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan.

The Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan had cultivated for a long time and possessed astonishing power. Although the Demon Cloud Clan was based in the Lower Third Heavens, many people believed that the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan was already in the same league as the master cultivators in the Middle Third Heavens.

On top of that, the cultivators from the Demon Cloud Clan were exceptionally ambitious and forceful. As a result, the group had advanced and expanded rapidly.

The current generation was led by Mo Ke, the eldest son of the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan. He was bestowed with outstanding natural talent and had become an intimidating cultivator. Many people believed that he might even surpass the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan and achieve more in the future.

Rumor had it that the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan suddenly rose to prominence thanks to obtaining a divine item. It was also why Mo Ke, his eldest son, was able to make breakthroughs again and again. The son had become more successful than the father. Although he was from the Lower Third Heavens, Mo Ke was one of the most noted cultivators in the Shangqing Domain. He was an eighth-order Renhuang with a perfect Great Path and was only one step away from becoming a master cultivator.

If Mo Ke managed to advance to the ninth-order, the Demon Cloud Clan would spring up and become one of the most influential forces in the Shangqing Domain. They might even have enough prestige to compete with the top forces in the Upper Third Heavens.

Mo Ke was also famous for his relationship with Blind Tie from Four Corner Village. Back in the day, they traveled through the Shangqing Domain together like close brothers. Both of them were extraordinary cultivators who were well sought-after. However, Mo Ke betrayed Blind Tie later. Not only did he steal Blind Tie’s Divine Technique, but he also blinded and almost killed him.

The news came as a bombshell at that time. Many people despised the Demon Cloud Clan for their ruthless behaviors and unscrupulous means to get ahead. The groups in the Upper Nine Heavens also stayed away from the Demon Cloud Clan.

That being said, everyone had to admit that the Demon Cloud Clan was growing stronger and stronger owing to their sheer brutality and wild ambition. They were probably aiming at the Upper Third Heavens.

As soon as he sensed the rage emanating from Blind Tie, Ye Futian figured out the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him. This man must be Mo Ke, the eldest son of the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud Clan and the culprit who betrayed and disabled Blind Tie.

Ye Futian raised his head to stare at Mo Ke and said, “I will keep studying the inside of the divine casket. If you ask me again whether the sacred remains should be seen, my answer will remain the same. It’s not my business if you look at it or not. You will know once you have seen it yourself. There is no need to ask me if your mind is settled already. Look at it if you want, don’t if you don’t have the balls.”

The crowd was baffled by Ye Futian’s response. He sounded extremely arrogant, and it was hard to tell in which direction he was pushing. Should the others look at the sacred remains or not?

Based on what he said to Mo Ke, he seemed to be goading Mo Ke.

Mo Ke was not an average cultivator. Nowadays, he was a wunderkind who was almost unrivaled among his peers in the Shangqing Domain.

Of course, Mo Ke wouldn’t fall into Ye Futian’s trap so easily. He slowly turned his eyes to Blind Tie and said, “It’s been a long time since I saw you last.”

Blind Tie lifted his chin to face Mo Ke. Even though he couldn’t see, Mo Ke’s face had been imprinted on his mind. How could he ever forget what Mo Ke looked like?

He calmed down a lot, surprisingly. Although he still seemed stern and hostile, he regained his composure and didn’t rush to action when facing his archenemy.

“I heard that you made a lot of progress after you went back to the village. I didn’t go to Four Corner Village with everyone else last time because I know you don’t want to see me. Nevertheless, I was still happy for you when I heard the news about you,” Mo Ke continued. He spoke as though they were still good friends who wished each other the best.

“How happy are you?” Blind Tie asked in a flat voice. It was impossible to detect his emotion from his tone.

“I’m genuinely happy for you,” Mo Ke said.” “At least at one point, we were brothers who went through thick and thin together.”

“Brothers?” A mocking smile crept onto Blind Tie’s face. They were “good brothers” indeed.

He only fell for a so-called brother like Mo Ke because he was naive and over-trusting when he first left the village.

“So many years have passed. Sometimes I also feel guilty for doing you wrong and letting you down in the past. However, since Four Corner Village has rejoined the rest of the world, we can let go of the bad blood and become friends again like in the old days. The Demon Cloud Clan can be an ally for Four Corner Village as well,” Mo Ke said.

“So that we can be betrayed by you one more time?” Blind Tie said, “Your strength has increased for sure. But I’m more surprised that you are even more shameless now.”

Mo Ke stared at Blind Tie in silence for a short moment. Then he shifted his attention to Ye Futian and said, “This young man from your village is much more arrogant than you when you first left the village.”

“He is better than me,” Blind Tie replied. “Of course, he is far better than you, too, in every aspect.”

Blind Tie held Ye Futian in high regard not only because of Ye Futian’s cultivation level but also for his character. Ye Futian was far superior to Mo Ke and would never double-cross Blind Tie.

“Is that so? I’m surprised that even you would praise him with such enthusiasm. No wonder he became so famous in such a short time. The entire Shangqing Domain knows of his name by now.” Mo Ke cracked a mirthless smile and took a deep look at Ye Futian. After that, he turned around and walked toward the divine casket. His eyes sparkled with dark and golden demonic light. It seemed as if he had a pair of frightening demonic eyes.

Mo Ke took a few steps forward to approach the divine casket. Then he lowered his head and looked in its direction with a grave face. Although he criticized Ye Futian for being arrogant, he was well aware of the danger posed by the sacred remains. Muyun Lan was on a par with Mo Ke, if not better. Yet even he bled from his eyes after one peek and was convinced that the sacred remains shouldn’t be desecrated. How could Mo Ke underestimate the power of the sacred remains?

The terrifying black demonic light burst out of the demonic eyes. However, everything was annihilated when the ancient characters hit Mo Ke’s eyes. The runes bludgeoned into his head as though he was defenseless prey.

Bang…

He didn’t dare to look for one more second. He protected his body with great demonic might and jumped back with all possible haste. He didn’t cover his eyes as Muyun Lan did. Blood streamed from the tightly closed demonic eyes. He looked like a ghastly Asura.

The sacred remains couldn’t be seen.

Ye Futian was not wrong. The sacred remains shouldn’t be seen indeed. Anyone who attempted to look at it would suffer such an outcome. Mo Ke was no exception.

Muyun Lan and Mo Ke had been defeated.

Two extraordinary Renhuangs were wounded like this. What would happen to other average cultivators if they tried to look at the sacred remains too? No one dared to imagine.

Muyun Lan and Mo Ke were already mighty, second only to the mighty figures.

Mo Ke’s eyes recovered in a short time. He shot a glance at Ye Futian after he opened his eyes.

“Let’s see how you will study the divine casket,” Mo Ke said to Ye Futian.

Everyone fixed their gaze on Ye Futian. Ye Futian claimed that he would look at the sacred remains in the divine casket again. What would happen to him when two of the best cultivators couldn’t withstand the power of the sacred remains?

Ye Futian turned to Mo Ke and replied, “Studying the divine casket is my business. It’s not a performance for your benefit.”

Mo Ke disregarded Ye Futian’s response and said, “It’s all the same.”

“Of course they are not the same. I’m not interested in looking at it yet,” Ye Futian replied. He had no reason to be polite to Blind Tie’s enemy.
