Ye Futian’s voice fell, and the space turned silent. The divine consciousnesses of countless cultivators from Divine Prefecture were fastened on him.

Ye Futian had admitted outright that he had some connection to Emperor Ye Qing.

Princess Donghuang, likewise, also focused her attention on the white-haired man who was atop the temple. However, the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Academy were concentrating their attention on her at the moment, and they were a little nervous. The next decision that the Princess made would impact Ye Futian’s fate.

“How are you connected?” Princess Donghuang questioned.

“Does Princess remember me?” Ye Futian looked at Princess Donghuang and asked. “When I was 16, I saw Princess from a distance on the Beast Mountain of Qingzhou City.”

When he first laid eyes on Princess Donghuang, he felt that there might be a fateful encounter between the two of them. And later, indeed, they met again.

But did that encounter refer to the situation they were presently facing?

“Vaguely,” replied Princess Donghuang.

“I grew up in the city of Qingzhou. I was born an ordinary person who cultivated in Qingzhou Academy for a time. When I was 16, I strayed onto Beast Mountain by mistake and saw a statue. It wasn’t until later that I learned that it was taboo in the Divine Prefecture and that the statue was of Emperor Ye Qing. By pure happenstance, I received a trace of Emperor Ye Qing’s Will, which altered my destiny, and the Snow Ape Emperor surrendered to me. Later, Princess descended with other cultivators, and I witnessed the last battle of the Snow Ape Emperor. It was there that I saw Princess for the first time.”

Everyone looked at Ye Futian. It seemed that he had inherited the Will of Emperor Ye Qing from his youth. This was also a very good explanation as to why he was able to suppress all those genius talents so far and that no one had been able to compete with him. As someone who had inherited the Will of a Great Emperor in his youth, and it was no less than the will of Emperor Ye Qing. He had to be a peerless figure who stood out among everyone in the Lower Worlds.

Therefore, this must have been the basis for how Ye Futian’s strength and development.

Many found his explanation quite believable. Maybe he had omitted some of the details, but the general timeline sounded true enough. As for the rumors that Ye Futian was the heir of Emperor Ye Qing, this possibility could almost be ruled out altogether, especially for those privy to some inside information.

As for both of them sharing Ye as the same surname, perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Of course, he might also be hiding something. For example, he did not just receive something as simple as a wisp of the Great Emperor’s Will.

Princess Donghuang stared deeply at him. Her eyes were so profoundly beautiful that it was impossible to discern what she was truly thinking.

“Is it really just as simple as a wisp of the will?” Princess Donghuang asked.

“Princess, there was only a wisp of will left by Emperor Ye Qing in the statue at the time. Otherwise, with the power of a Great Emperor, why would he stay in Qingzhou City and wait for its destruction?” Ye Futian continued, “If the Princess still doesn’t believe me, you can go to Nandou Nation to investigate my birth further. There was no chance that I could be connected with anyone who’s a Great Emperor.”

“Why did Qingzhou City disappear?” Princess Donghuang continued.

“I have no idea what happened after I took my teacher away. I didn’t even know that Qingzhou City had disappeared,” Ye Futian replied.

Princess Donghuang asked several questions in a row. Then ensued another silence.

If it was just Ye Futian who had inherited a wisp of Emperor Ye Qing’s Will, then this matter could go either way. Because it was just the Will of Emperor Ye Qing, and only by chance, it all depended on how Princess Donghuang chose to handle the matter.

No one spoke. The cultivators from all top forces in the Divine Prefecture only dared to observe in secret darkness from a distance. No one dared to say a word.

Emperor Ye Qing was not a topic to be talked about openly. Even if everyone understood what was going on, they couldn’t say anything.

Next to Princess Donghuang, someone spoke to her via voice transmission, “Your Royal Highness, whether what he said is credible or not, you can’t let him go. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

What if there was a deeper connection between Ye Futian and Emperor Ye Qing?

If one day Ye Futian were to really step into that legendary realm, what would happen then?

Therefore, they might want to kill him unnecessarily than entertain the unthinkable…

Princess Donghuang still appeared tranquil. The cultivators from all the worlds looked on in the distance. At this moment, a voice from the Dark World spoke up, “It was a long time ago when the two Emperors turned against each other, and Donghuang the Great raised his hand against Emperor Ye Qing. Now, so many years later, Donghunag Imperial Palace won’t spare cultivator who happened to obtain just some trace of Emperor Ye Qing’s Will by chance?”

This voice sounded rather sarcastic. The cultivators from the Dark World had never disguised their desire of wanting Ye Futian dead, but now they seemed to be speaking up on Ye Futian’s behalf, which was somewhat intriguing.

“Ye Futian, come to the Empty Divine Realm and we will give you a safe haven.” At this moment, another voice spoke, and it was a cultivator from the Empty Divine Realm. However, this suggestion was full of bad intentions. Under the circumstances, those from Donghuang Imperial Palace would be more motivated to move against Ye Futian—an unspeakably ruthless scheme.

At this moment, a man walked behind Ye Futian and stood there quietly. The man seemed to be dressed in the Demonic Mail. He had an exceptionally domineering spirit, and it was none other than Yu Sheng.

After Yu Sheng made his presence known, a group of cultivators was behind him, protecting him. This time, the people they were facing were not ordinary folks, and the Devil World didn’t really want Yu Sheng to intervene. But if Yu Sheng wanted to make a stance, there was not much they could do.

But Yu Sheng stood there as if to make a statement. It seemed that as soon as Princess Donghuang made the decision against Ye Futian, Yu Sheng would be the worst enemy Divine Prefecture had ever see—no matter the cost to himself.

Princess Donghuang glanced at Yu Sheng, then looked back at Ye Futian and asked, “You said you received the Will of Emperor Ye Qing. So, who is he, exactly?”

The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture had thought of this as well. If Ye Futian explained his own origin, then what about Yu Sheng?

Obviously, this was an oversight. He was still unable to clearly explain who he really was or where he was from.

“I am curious to know that too, but perhaps only the Devil Emperor in the Devil World knows the answer.” Ye Futian responded. His answer was scoffed at by those from the Divine Prefecture. Clearly, it was less than convincing.

And Ye Futian, didn’t he know?

“Princess, he is lying.” Next to Princess Donghuang, the voice transmission asked her, “Did Princess ever know of his existence?”

Princess Donghuang nodded slightly.

“Perhaps Ye Futian was the heir selected by Emperor Ye Qing himself; it cannot be as simple as chance,” the person continued via voice transmission. An oppressed aura now enveloped the space.

Princess Donghuang looked at Ye Futian and said, “Yes or no? Follow me to the Imperial Palace, and we will sort everything out there.

“Ye Futian, would you like to come with us for a little trip?”

There was a slight change in Ye Futian’s eyes. He was not too clear on what had transpired back then, but if he and Emperor Ye Qing really had some connections, then no matter the kind of person Donghuang the Great was, he would never let him off the hook.

Once they found out the secrets he’d been hiding, he would most certainly not be allowed to live.

“If Princess doesn’t believe me, why waste time taking me with you?” Ye Futian kept his composure and replied, but his heart was getting colder!
