Chapter 2590: Massacre

If they removed the seal, Ye Futian could leave the place at any time. The six major Ancient God Clans would not be able to keep him around.

If they refused to remove the seal, the lives of the cultivators who responded to the Kill Order to eradicate Ziwei and hunt Ye Futian would be at the latter’s mercy.

Ye Futian had put the six major Ancient God Clans in a predicament.

How would they resolve the situation?

None of the six major cultivators retracted their domain or removed the seal they placed on Haotian City.

All of them did not wish to let Ye Futian go.

The core figures of all six major Ancient God Clans were backing them up now. They would not face any danger. The people who were truly at risk now were the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture and those insignificant figures. How could their lives weigh more than the life of Ye Futian?

Too many people had gathered here today in Haotian City. These people had all gathered here by Haotian Clan, and the impact of losing them was too great. Otherwise, if it were just any random group of people, they would not need to consider the impact at all. If they could sacrifice the lives of these people in exchange for the death of Ye Futian, they wouldn’t hesitate to make that exchange at all!

Seeing that the six major Ancient God Clans were unmoved, a look of mockery flashed in Ye Futian’s eyes. These cultivators claimed that they upheld righteousness and accused him of killing the innocent. Their hypocrisy was laughable. He merely needed to put up a little test to reveal their true nature.

Ye Futian extended his hand, and a silver spear appeared. It was the Sub-divine Arm he won when he was at Thirteenth Flight of Tianyan City. He raised his arm and pointed the spear toward the cultivators of the Haotian Clan. His voice was as cold as ice as he said, “The Haotian Clan gathered the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture here. The cultivators responded to your call. Yet, is this how you treat them?”

The Haotian Clan’s refusal to remove the seal meant that they would ignore the lives of the cultivators who responded to their call.

“If you still do not remove the seal, I shall begin my massacre,” threatened Ye Futian as he pointed his spear forward. A menacing and destructive light shone. It was as though he would attack the others the very next second.

With Ye Futian’s powerful ability, how many people in this ancient city could withstand a blow from him?

The cultivators needed to have at least undergone a Divine Tribulation of the Great Path to survive a blow from Ye Futian. No one whose cultivation was below the Tribulation Plane could survive his attack. They would surely die.

Even the cultivators who had undergone the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path were equally at risk.

To their knowledge, even Wang Xiao—the Unrivaled and the successor of Tianyan City—failed to take a blow from Ye Futian.

Seeing that the other party had no intention to respond, Ye Futian sneered, and his body disappeared from his spot. He appeared in another area. The crowd only managed to catch a glimpse of a moving light before his spear slashed across the space. Instantly, Spear Will penetrated through all the cultivators in that area. Their bodies were disintegrated, and they died tragically on the spot.

These cultivators were people who responded to the Kill Order.

After killing them all, Ye Futian returned to the sky and stood back in his original position. He pointed the long spear in his hand at the six giant-level figures ahead and asked, “Are you going to remove the seal?”

The six giant-level figures still did not respond. They seemed to be having a discussion via transmitted thoughts over how they would proceed.

However, they could not find a solution. They could not remove the seal. If they did so, they would lose this opportunity to kill Ye Futian. However, if they did not remove the seal, the situation in Haotian City would remain unsolved. They could only watch as Ye Futian massacred the people here, and they would not be able to save anyone.

Ye Futian’s figure disappeared once again and appeared in another location. Same as before, with one swipe of his spear, all the cultivators in an area dropped dead. It was indeed as he had said. He remembered all the cultivators in Haotian City who had claimed to want to destroy the Ziwei Segmentum and kill him.

Their faces had already been carved into his memory.

Haotian City was as silent as a tomb as Ye Futian carried out his threat.

He would stop the killing by killing!

Today, in Haotian City, the six major Ancient God Clans issued a Kill Order. Ye Futian descended with a spear and began a massacre. Whoever answered the call would be killed!

“Various Seniors, please remove the seal and allow us to leave,” someone cried out loudly from within Haotian City right then, pleading with the six major Ancient God Clan cultivators.

“Various Seniors, please remove the seal,” others cried out.

Once someone started pleading, others continued to chime in. Very soon, within Haotian City, countless cultivators were begging the six major Ancient God Clans to remove the seal.

The people who had spoken up were naturally the cultivators who had answered the Kill Order prior.

They regretted having done so now.

Not even in their dreams had they imagined that Ye Futian would actually dare to begin a killing spree with just a spear right in front of the six major Ancient God Clans and that no one would be able to stop him.

Now, their lives were all in danger. If they had known that they would face such a situation, they would not have answered the Kill Order, effectively seeking their own deaths.

“In order to escape, you are actually willing to massacre innocent people. Are you holding us hostage with the lives of the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture?” said the Lord of Haotian Clan as he stared at Ye Futian with a cold look in his eyes. It seemed that he had no intention of removing the seal and letting Ye Futian escape.

In reality, among the six major Ancient God Clans, the Haotian Clan was facing the greatest pressure. After all, this was their territory, and the Lord of Haotian Clan was the one who had invited all the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture over.

Aside from that, Haotian City was originally under the rule of their Haotian Clan. Countless industries here were theirs. There were also many powerful cultivators here who belonged to the vassal forces of the Haotian Clan.

Hence, his Haotian Clan bore the greatest burden here.

Just now, when they were communicating amongst themselves over transmitted thoughts, the other five Ancient God Clans were unanimously against removing the seal. Even if he wanted to remove the seal, it was pointless. As long as the other five Ancient God Clans did not agree to do so, the result would remain the same.

He could only twist the facts. He knew how ridiculous his words sounded. However, his tone was extremely stern and serious.

It was as though all the blame was on Ye Futian. Even if they did not remove the seal to let Ye Futian out and resulted in the other cultivators being killed, all of this was Ye Futian’s fault and had nothing to do with him.

Now, he could only stick to this claim stubbornly.

The Lord of Tianyan City coldly smiled inside. Of course, he would not agree to remove the seal. He only wanted Ye Futian to die. As for the lives of the cultivators in Haotian City, how were they his concern?

His Tianyan City was not the one who invited them over. It was the Haotian Clan!

Issuing the Kill Order was also the Haotian Clan’s suggestion. This was also why the Lord of Tianyan City had not taken the initiative and had instead waited patiently.

When Ye Futian heard the Lord of Haotian Clan’s ridiculous words, he did not respond. He disappeared once again. This time, he appeared in yet another location in Haotian City. Frightening flashes shone from his spear continuously as he massacred the people. Each flash appeared sporadically.

Cultivators perished one after another. No one could withstand a strike from Ye Futian’s spear. Everywhere it passed, the cultivators there were killed instantly and perished in Haotian City.

As the death count piled up, the six major Ancient God Clans did not do anything. Terror began to spread across Haotian City. The people who answered the call clearly felt that their deaths were approaching.

None of them knew whether the next person to die would be them.

Ye Futian stood in midair. Right now, he was like a god of death dressed in white robes. The silver spear that he wielded was dripping with fresh blood. Below where Ye Futian stood were people trembling from head to toe uncontrollably as their eyes were filled with terror.

Just now, they had also answered the Kill Order.

Right now, Ye Futian was above them. Did that mean that they would be next?

If Ye Futian attacked, they would certainly die.

“We merely came to join in the fun. We had no intention of answering the Kill Order. Renhuang Ye, please forgive us!” said the crowd as they lowered their heads. They bowed towards Ye Futian in the sky, wanting to plead for their lives.

They were afraid.

Buzz. Ye Futian’s figure disappeared instantly. When he appeared again, many people looked down below. They discovered that those who had begged for their lives had already been killed.

They had died instantly!

Ye Futian did not give them any chance of survival at all.

What use was there in apologizing and admitting their wrongs now? Wouldn’t everyone be able to act presumptuously and recklessly if issues could be resolved so easily?

Due to benefits, these people were willing to destroy the Ziwei Segmentum and kill Ye Futian. Now that their lives were in danger, they suddenly had no intention of answering the summons?

Today, he would kill as many cultivators of the Divine Prefecture as he needed to instill terror in everyone’s hearts.

“Seniors, are you really going to watch and do nothing?” questioned someone with bloodshot eyes. Enraged, the crowd glared at the cultivators of the six major Ancient God Clans. The latter witnessed Ye Futian killing the rest of the cultivators, yet they did nothing to help.

The cultivators of the six major Ancient God Clans saw the others being killed one by one. Up until this point, they were still pondering their next course of action. They could only watch as this massacre unfolded before their eyes.

More and more voices sounded, urging the six major Ancient God Clans to remove the seal.

The Lord of Haotian Clan announced coldly, “The Kill Order has been issued and is in force. Since Ye Futian is here today, the conditions outlined in the Kill Order hold true for anyone who can kill him. The conditions similarly hold true for anyone who can kill the cultivators of the Ziwei Segmentum.”

He emphasized once again that the Kill Order had officially begun.

Regardless of what happened today, it would not affect the Kill Order. Of course, this required Ye Futian to be able to leave this place alive first.

This time, they certainly would not let Ye Futian leave here alive. As long as Ye Futian died, everything would be over.

“These are the high and mighty Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture,” Ye Futian mocked loudly. His voice reverberated across the land. With a shift of his will, tens of thousands of arms immediately appeared behind him. Each hand contained frightening Sword Will.

A destructive, murderous aura enveloped the entire ancient city!

What is he planning to do? the various cultivators thought as they watched Ye Futian in astonishment. The ones who answered the call were trembling even more. Was Ye Futian about to begin a frenzied massacre?
