The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2341 - Tension


Chapter 2341: Tension

For Shenyi Continent to have appeared in the Original Realm and demonstrate such astonishing strength, how could these top forces not have some designs of their own?

Moreover, no one knew what was in the secret zone of the Lost Clan, but they estimated that there must be some worthwhile secrets to be had. For the Lost Clan to survive these long years and the Dark Ages, there must be methods other than those they had displayed.

“Just mind yourself, and don’t worry about us. How we want to do things is none of your concern.” In the crowd, a scratchy old voice, tinged with indifference, was berating Ye Futian.

Even though Ye Futian’s current status was lofty, and he had demonstrated extremely powerful combat effectiveness, the cultivators who were present were no small figures. Aside from the top principalities from Divine Prefecture, many of them were at the top of the cultivation world. There was no lack of those who had passed the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path with the Ancient God Clan on their side.

And this was only those from Divine Prefecture. In addition to Divine Prefecture, there were also top figures from the Dark World, Human Realm, and other realms, with imperial-level forces personally representing. No matter how closely such lineups were to be scrutinized, Ye Futian, at the very most, was just as a rising star. No matter how outstanding he was, he was just a young upstart.

Ye Futian’s attempt to dissuade everyone’s plan about the Lost Clan was really overestimating his own influence.

It was just as that old man had suggested, how these top forces decided to conduct their own business, needing no direction from Ye Futian.

“Go back,” said another voice, still directed at Ye Futian, urging him to stand down. Although he had defeated and crushed Hua Junlai from the Ancient God Clan, it only proved that he had what it took to enter the secret zone of the Lost Clan. However, Ye Futian’s status was far from sufficient to keep a lid on the whole situation.

Not just him; no one here could stop the development of the situation at hand.

Ye Futian looked at the crowd and sighed inside. In fact, he knew very well that he could not alter things very much. After all, the forces who were here today were almost the very top forces in each of the known worlds. His own influence fell short by comparison and was not enough to change much.

But looking at how things were playing out, any continuation would only cause harm to both sides until the two sides launched a full-on war. This thing had its own momentum that could not be stopped now. He had wanted to give it his best shot, but it was of no use.

“Emperor Ye is righteous, and the Lost Clan is most grateful. But today’s matter has nothing to do with Emperor Ye. Since everyone who came here refused to give up, we have no choice but to continue. Emperor Ye should not insist on interceding further. Of course, the Lost Clan is most willing to make friends with Emperor Ye.” The old man from the Lost Clan spoke with some heartfelt gratitude towards Ye Futian.

Besieged by all these principalities, only Ye Futian was willing to speak up for them. Furthermore, he had the ability to break down the Lost Clan’s Battle Matrix of the Rocks but didn’t. Obviously, he had no intention to rob them of the secret zone and their cultivation methods.

“True gentleman harbored no ill-will.” Ye Futian was probably a good example of that saying.

However, since the Lost Clan came out of the infinite darkness and drifted to the Original Realm, they were destined to experience this trial. If they did not endeavor to survive it, how could they possibly enjoy any peace in the future? To gain a foothold in the Original Realm, they must first overcome this challenge. If they did, then no one would dare to provoke them with impunity in the future. All the top powers of the world would have to weigh the matter carefully before they had any thoughts of challenging the Lost Clan again.

However, they were facing a real catastrophe this time. What was at stake could not be more important to them all, and there was no guarantee whether they would survive it or not.

Ye Futian looked at the old man from the Lost Clan and nodded slightly. Then he moved towards the ground below with no intention of lingering any longer; he could not change much anyways.

Everything would have to depend on the Los Clan themselves now.

The old man from the Lost Clan surveyed the crowd and said, “According to the previous agreement, the losers must hand over to Lost Clan the cultivation methods used during the battle, to be kept in the secret zone caves, where they will be enshrined for future generations of the Lost Clan to cultivate. Previous battles have already determined many victories and defeats. Those who had lost, please hand over the cultivation methods you used on the Lost Clan.”

Ye Futian, who had just returned to the group from Heavenly Mandate Academy, sharpened his eyes as he turned to look in the direction of the old man.

What was this sudden change of attitude? The words from the old man obviously meant that he was getting more assertive. He began to demand the price the opponent had promised to pay if they were defeated.

However, many in the crowd understood that this was simply a price these opponents could not afford to pay.

For instance, would Xiao Mu—the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor—hand over the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Demon and the Super Demonic Form? It was completely an impossibility. The Devil Emperor would probably end this idiotic disciple’s life before that happens. Because of his lack of ability, he was defeated and lost the method taught by the Devil Emperor himself in a wager.

The same held true for other cultivators. What they had used before were the unique methods of their respective clan forces, but they were unsuccessful in breaking down the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. Now, the Lost Clan cultivators were asking for their cultivation methods. How could they hand them over just like that?

No one spoke, and the space seemed a little too quiet. Those cultivators who were defeated seemed to look in other directions, looking at other people, to see who would take the initiative to do anything.

Watching this, the old man understood how this would play out. He actually had no intention of asking for the cultivation methods of these top principalities. He knew very well that such request was impossible for them to comply. He did it to force these invaders to consider from the standpoint of the Lost Clan. Just like them, the Lost Clan would never allow outside cultivators to enter their secret zone.

But the Lost Clan seemed to have underestimated the determination of these top cultivators. They seemed determined to gain entry to the secret zone of the Lost Clan no matter what. This was clearly evident from their previous action.

If this was the case, there was no more need to continue being courteous. These defeated cultivators would either hand over what they had wagered, or it was going to be an all-out war.

“You are all cultivators from top principalities and top figures from all the worlds. Are you going to go back on your promises? Since you have been defeated, you should deliver what you promised,” the old man of the Lost Clan continued, his voice indifferent but tranquil.

The cultivators who were defeated previously looked on, still silent. In the direction of the Devil World, someone looked at the old man and said, “Even if the Devil World is willing to surrender them, does the Lost Clan have the gall to accept?”

Would the Lost Clan be so bold as to accept the cultivation method of the Devil Emperor? If they did that, they would undoubtedly offend the Devil Emperor themselves, but at the same time, would the Devil World let the Lost Clan off the hook?

“So, none of you intended to keep your promises from the very beginning.” The cultivator from the Lost Clan continued, “That is to say, you were lying to us right from the start. If you lost, you don’t need to pay any penalty, but if you won, you wanted to have the right to enter our secret zone to cultivate. With such a rotten deal, is there any need to continue talking about it?”

As his voice trailed off, the surrounding space suddenly quieted down. Aura from cultivators of all principalities spread to cover the void as an invisible pressure radiated outward. There was an extreme discomfort in the atmosphere, faintly suffocating.

In the far distance, many imperial-level cultivators walked in the direction of the Lost Clan, loosely forming a circle to surround the Lost Clan. They were powerful cultivators from all sides of the Shenyi Continent who came as reinforcement!
