The Legend of Futian - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Right?

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

It was a different scene at the banquet in the Cangye Kingdom’s palace! People from all the top forces arrived gradually and Emperor Ye rose to welcome them all. It was extremely busy. Of course, it seemed a bit chaotic too.

The strong cultivators of the Cangye Kingdom were a bit dazed. Their hearts were in turmoil seeing this situation. Even Yi Xiang and Hua Fengliu were shaken. What exactly did Ye Futian and the others do in the Ancient Barren World?

“Why are you here?” Ye Futian saw the Witch walk over. Her body was curvaceous and her features were extremely mesmerizing.

“I took care of you for so long in the Ancient Barren World and traveled for so long to come here, yet you are still so heartless.” Gu Biyue looked hurt and pitiful. Those who didn’t know the details thought something had truly happened between them. Many from the Cangye Kingdom looked at Ye Futian, thinking about how powerful he was. Even such a beauty was loyal to him. They couldn’t help but be impressed.

“Yeah, why don’t you keep her by your side?” Hua Jieyu whispered to Ye Futian. The others mourned for Ye Futian. She seemed jealous.

“No way. Jieyu, don’t you understand me?” Ye Futian asked, feeling wronged.

“Of course I do. That’s why I said that,” Hua Jieyu replied, grinning. Ye Futian’s face darkened. The Witch had ruined him.

Seeing Ye Futian glare at her, the Witch smiled like a blooming flower. “I come today to invite Young Master Ye to join the Witch Clan. No matter what you wish for, I can fulfill it.”

Hua Jieyu was still smiling at Ye Futian but he just blinked. The treatment sounded nice but he wasn’t like that. Beautiful girls were nothing to him. He wasn’t a pervert.

“Thanks but no thanks,” Ye Futian said, rejecting the temptation.

Hearing his serious refusal, Hua Jieyu’s smile grew dazzling.

“Young Master Ye, you are so cruel,” Gu Biyue said, hurt. Then she turned to Yu Sheng. “Would you like to join the Witch Clan?”

Yi Qingxuan immediately walked up and grabbed Yu Sheng’s hand, staring at the Witch menacingly.

“No,” Yu Sheng said. The Witch didn’t mind. She just smiled at Yi Qingxuan. She didn’t have high hopes and just came to see the drama. Which clan would Ye Futian and the others choose?

“Hua Jieyu, are you willing to join the Moon Clan?” an angelic figure asked at that moment.

Hua Jieyu looked over, deep in thought.

“The Moon Clan is best for women to cultivate in. Our cultivation techniques are unique as well. Even the College cannot surpass us in this aspect.” The Moon Clan member’s voice had a womanly charm and gentleness.

“The Moon Clan truly is the paradise for girls,” Liu Feiyang said from the side.

Being a top force of the Eastern Barren Territory, their abilities were undeniable. There were countless angelic figures from the Moon Clan who were extremely renowned.

Hua Jieyu turned to look at Ye Futian and saw that he was looking at her. There was some unwillingness to leave in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly.

Ye Futian smiled. Immediately understanding her, he reached out to pat Hua Jieyu’s head. “I’ll support whatever decision you make.”

Hua Jieyu let Ye Futian mess up her hair. She nodded gently and looked to the Moon Clan representative. “I am willing to cultivate with the Moon Clan.” She wanted to cultivate with Ye Futian but there was no time for personal feelings in the world of cultivation. They’d experienced the despair of Donghai City together and knew how important power was. She didn’t want to keep Ye Futian down. Furthermore, this guy was so talented. There would be more and more girls like the Witch beside him. As they grew, there would be even better girls. She believed in Ye Futian’s feelings for her but she wished to improve too. She wanted to be better than all the girls around him. That way, he could feel proud too.

“Alright.” The angel smiled. She also gave Hua Jieyu a decree. This meant she was now a member of the Moon Clan. Like Ye Wuchen, Hua Jieyu would depart at the beginning of the year.

The Moon Clan departed. Ye Wuchen and Hua Jieyu had all chosen clans.

“You were with them too. How come no one came for you?” Lin Yueyao’s father asked from the back of the crowd. They were an important family of Cangye but now, he was jealous.

“I’m not his girlfriend.” Lin Yueyao thought of how Ye Futian had gently taught Hua Jieyu at the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall and glared in their direction with resentment.

“Don’t get involved,” her father cautioned. Her words were a little strange.

Even though his daughter was the number one beauty of the Cangye Kingdom, she couldn’t keep someone like Ye Futian. Putting Hua Jieyu to the side, even the Witch of the Witch Clan couldn’t do it so how could Lin Yueyao? The Witch’s features were equal to Lin Yueyao and had made many men fall for her charms.

“Ye Futian.” At that time, the cultivators who came in chariots walked over. The leader was dressed elegantly. He said, “I come from the Qin Dynasty to invite you and Yu Sheng to join us. If you accept, your status will be equal to that of a prince. Unfortunately, you have a lover. Otherwise, we can also choose a princess to marry below her rank.”

Ye Futian’s eyes brightened. There were so many temptations today.

Hua Jieyu smiled at him. Was he tempted again?

“Of course, if you have any other requests, please say them. Anyway, do not be worried of restrictions in the Qin Dynasty,” the man continued.

The top talents of the Eastern Barren Territory were unwilling to join kingdoms because of the restrictions. They could never be equal to the royalty and it was difficult to forge closer relationships. Thus, this man tried to dissolve Ye Futian’s worries in that aspect.

The Qin Dyansty once ruled the Eastern Barren Territory. They kept their downfall close to heart. They absorbed talented people each generation to continue improving.

“A kingdom is a kingdom nevertheless. No matter what treatment he receives, he’ll never have the surname of Qin,” someone said. The Qin Dynasty cultivator frowned and glared at the speaker—someone from the Donghua Clan.

“Ye Futian, the Donghua Clan is close to the number one force in the Eastern Barren Territory. Different from the kingdom, once you join the Donghua Clan, you’ll be one of the core members,” the Donghua Clan member said. “In the Ancient Barren World, our junior disrespected you but with your talent, you mustn’t hold grudges with someone of the same generation. Rather, you should surpass them.”

Ye Futian glanced at him. He’d once asked Tang Ye from the College whether he could represent the College. Hua Qingchi was the same, of course. He couldn’t represent the Donghua Clan so Ye Futian didn’t mind.

The Donghua Clan’s words were still meaningful.

“Of course, you can also make any requests you’d like,” the man said.

“Number one clan? With your foundation, you’re still lacking,” the Qin Dynasty cultivator mocked.

“We are at least the most suitable for Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.” The Donghua Clan member chuckled.

Everyone watched as the two top forces fought. They all understood that Ye Futian would most likely join one of the top three—the College, Donghua Clan, and the Qin Dynasty.

The other groups understood this too. They didn’t even come or just came for the fun.

“Stop arguing,” a faint voice said. Everyone’s eyes narrowed. Another voice said, “No matter how you argue, he won’t go with you.”

“Nonsense.”

“Who are you?”

The Donghua Clan and Qin Dynasty all looked in the direction of the voice. There, a figure walked over quietly. It was a scholarly young man. He walked casually, not too fast and not too slow. Without any announcement, he appeared before their eyes.

The other forces all looked at him. Some knew him; some had never seen him before. Those who knew him all narrowed their eyes, thinking, he came too? I thought they don’t care about other business but he came for Ye Futian too?

“Because he will go with me,” the scholar said with ease. It seemed that everything was decided the moment he arrived.

Such an arrogant guy, those who didn’t know him thought. How could he overlook the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan like that?

Even if he was from the College, how could he be like this?

“Is he from the College?” Gu Biyue asked her clan member. The Noble member’s expression changed, clearly in shock.

“Yes.” He nodded. Gu Biyue guessed correctly.

The scholar was indeed from the College. He walked over to somewhere near Ye Futian, a faint smile on his face. Just as he’d imagined, Ye Futian was very attractive.

Ye Futian had noticed everyone’s expressions, of course. When the scholar arrived, many people fell silent. The Donghua Clan and Qin Dynasty members looked uncomfortable but didn’t refute the newcomer. This was very strange.

“Are you from the College?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes and no.” The scholar nodded and then shook his head.

Ye Futian didn’t understand. So was it yes or no?

“Senior, why are you sure that I’ll go with you?” Ye Futian asked curiously. This guy seemed even more arrogant than him.

Hearing his words, the scholar laughed. His laugh was gentle but the words he uttered afterward were not gentle at all. “With me here, who dares to take you away?” He looked at the Donghua Clan and Qin Dynasty. “Right?”

Chapter 219: Cangye Dynasty

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

The people from the Donghua Clan and the Qin Dynasty looked frustrated. Clearly, they already knew the identity of this person. As members of the top three forces in the Eastern Barren Territory, they were actually questioned in such a manner. Someone from the Donghua Clan said, “Gu Dongliu, this is too much.”

“Since the College Cottage wants you, the Qin Dynasty will contest no more,” the people from the Qin Dynasty said, after which they left in displeasure. Obviously, they were somewhat unhappy.

Very soon, the carriage ascended into the sky and the people from the Qin Dynasty departed directly. Originally, the Donghua Clan could contest, even if they were against the College. However, since he had arrived, and the Cottage wanted Ye Futian, their attempt to contest would surely be futile. Furthermore, what kind of person was Gu Dongliu? He would not even give them the chance to contest.

“You are not leaving yet?” Gu Dongliu looked at the people from the Donghua Clan as he asked tonelessly. The faces of the people from the Donghua Clan darkened further. Although they were powerful nobles, they were indeed not confident in front of this person.

“Goodbye,” the people from the Donghua Clan said. Then, they turned around and left in anger, appearing to be extremely displeased.

The scholar turned his head slowly and looked at Ye Futian, after which he smiled gently. His smile was very mild and looked just like a typical scholar. Then, he said, “Look, they’re all gone.”

Ye Futian looked at the scene in front of him, stunned. The nobles from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan left simply because of his words?

This seemingly harmless scholar is such a powerful deterrent?

The people from the Qin Dynasty said that he is from the College Cottage. What place is that?

The people from the Liu Kingdom, Witch Clan and the like looked at the scholar, and then glanced at Ye Futian again. They did not expect him to become a disciple of the College Cottage.

Nevertheless, a smile quickly appeared on Liu Feiyang’s face. When he escorted Ye Futian and his team back to Cangye, he was not expecting him to join the Liu Kingdom in the first place. Therefore, when the Fuyun Sword Clan and the Moon Clan were inviting Ye Wuchen and Hua Jieyu, he was also objectively speaking for the two clans.

At the moment, someone from the Cottage had come. The Eastern Barren Territory was already destined to have another towering figure in the future. He could not refrain from anticipating Ye Futian’s future.

The scholar Gu Dongliu was also a disciple from the College Cottage. When he arrived, even the nobles from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had to back away. Was it because of his identity?

Of course not. It was because of his powers.

If they really ended up in a fight, the nobles from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan would probably lose to him badly. In addition, if he was not from the College Cottage, he would most likely not dare to fight the rest. However, since he was from the Cottage, there would be nothing which he would not dare to do.

From their knowledge, there were only eight people in the College Cottage at the moment. One was the teacher and the rest students.

Now, Ye Futian would become the eighth student of the Cottage.

“Senior, can you give me a reason why I should follow you?” Ye Futian asked.

“I am from the Cottage,” the scholar said as he smiled. “After you enter the Cottage, no force in the Eastern Barren Territory will dare to touch you openly, unless they want to die.”

This was the confidence a person from the Cottage would have.

Nobody would dare to touch the people from the Cottage, not even any forces, unless they wanted to die. Of course, the forces which hid themselves to carry out assassinations were not included.

It sounded very powerful.

From the look of it, once he entered the Cottage, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Eastern Barren Territory in the future.

It was indeed an extremely good reason. At least, the events in the Donghai City would definitely not happen to him.

“Enter,” Liu Feiyang, who was beside Ye Futian, reminded him with only one word.

Nobody would reject the invitation from the Cottage. However, such an invitation was a wild wish for countless people in the first place. But now, Ye Futian had such a chance. How could he miss it?

“I accept.” Ye Futian smiled at the scholar. Even though the introduction of the place was short, it seemed to suit him a lot. Such an outstanding person like him would naturally go to the best places.

The College Cottage seemed to be such a place.

“Can Yu Sheng follow me to the Cottage to learn?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes.” The Scholar nodded. “He left four Nobles on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, so he also has a chance. When will you leave for the Cottage?”

“The beginning of next year,” Ye Futian replied.

“Alright,” the scholar said as he smiled. “See you at the Cottage.”

“See you at the Cottage.” Ye Futian nodded. The scholar turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back. His speed was still unhurried and he soon disappeared.

Since then, Ye Futian and the other three all had places to go to.

Ye Futian entered the Cottage, Ye Wuchen entered the Fuyun Sword Clan and Hua Jieyu entered the Moon Clan.

Yu Sheng would follow Ye Futian into the Cottage to cultivate. Although Yu Sheng was not invited by the Cottage, Ye Futian believed that with Yu Sheng’s talents and strength, after entering the Cottage, the people there would know what to do.

In the Ancient Barren World, Yu Sheng did not show how outstanding he really was. The four Nobles on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall could not prove much.

Liu Chenyu stared at Ye Futian and the rest. In the Ancient Barren World, they had displayed absolute charm and now, they were also starting to get their rewards, especially Ye Futian, who was able to turn the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall dim and receive a personal invitation from Gu Dongliu from the Cottage. In the future, they would perhaps leave a legend in the Eastern Barren Territory.

“It seems like I have wasted my trip.” Witch Gu Biyue stared at Ye Futian with some resentment as she said slowly, “In the future, if we meet in the Eastern Barren Territory again, I hope that you will still remember me.”

Ye Futian gave a black look. Then, witch Gu Biyue and the people from the Witch Clan also left. In the first place, she did not expect too much. Her major intention was to see for herself what would happen at the place and which force Ye Futian would join. The ending was beyond her expectation. He actually joined the Cottage. The College Cottage had not been admitting disciples for many years.

As the different forces left one after the other, only people from the Liu Kingdom and the Cangye Kingdom remained in the Imperial Palace, just like how it was originally. However, everyone knew that at the moment, as compared to before, everything was different, whether it was the people here or the Cangye Kingdom.

“Your Majesty, Young Master Ye, the emperors from the Yunchu Nation and the other kingdoms requested to see you in order to apologize.” After the people from the various forces left, the imperial bodyguard who had come with the message stepped forward and reported so.

Ye Futian’s eyes sparkled. Do you want to apologize now?

Previously, when they were asked to settle the issue, no one paid any attention. Furthermore, they stood firmly alongside He Xirou from the Royal Xuan Temple. This change in attitude was indeed very fast.

After pondering for a while, Ye Futian said, “Let them in.”

“Yes.” The guard nodded, after which he backed and left. Ye Futian looked at Emperor Ye and asked, “Your Majesty, do you have any opinions?”

Emperor Ye stared at Ye Futian and then said, “They came here with Emperor Luo in order to threaten me to hand over your teacher and the rest. Now, they come here to apologize similarly because of you. Naturally, you can decide on this matter.”

“Alright.” Ye Futian nodded. After a while, the emperors from the Yunchu Nation, the Yan Kingdom, and the other kingdoms came over. In total, there were six emperors.

At the moment, their expressions were very perplexed. As noble figures, it was really embarrassing for them to apologize to a Dharma Plane junior. However, they were relieved after thinking about the status Ye Futian and his team would have in the future. Ye Futian and the other three all managed to enter the top forces, and they would only become more powerful than He Xirou.

They had to bow down in front of even He Xirou, so it would be fine to do the same in front of Ye Futian. Moreover, they did not have a choice.

If the issue that had happened in the day was not settled, and Ye Futian kept bearing the grudge, even if he did not use the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory to deal with them at the moment, what would happen when they themselves grew up in the future?

“Just now, we were deluded by Emperor Luo and did something very foolish. We hope that Young Master Ye can forgive us,” the emperor from the Yunchu Nation said. He even bowed slightly and swallowed his pride: he took Ye Futian as someone with the same status as He Xirou.

“Not long ago, all of you were very unyielding. Now, why do you apologize? I can’t afford that. Emperors, please leave,” Ye Futian said, smiling.

All the emperors cursed Ye Futian in their minds. Since they were allowed to enter, the problem could clearly be alleviated. However, at the moment he said so deliberately to give them some pressure.

“Young Master Ye, whatever you want from us, please say,” the emperor from the Yan Kingdom joined his hands together and said submissively. Now, whatever Ye Futian wanted, they had to agree.

“You will accept anything?” Ye Futian asked.

The few emperors could feel their hearts bleeding as they already started to guess what Ye Futian would put forward. However, at this point, they could only do so.

“Young Master Ye, since you have let us in, you obviously will not ask us to die. Whatever other conditions you have, please say.”

“Submit to Cangye.”

Ye Futian’s voice suddenly turned cold. His few words caused all the emperors to tremble.

The sentence was short but relentless.

Submit to Cangye.

Ye Futian stared at the few emperors with his emotionless face. They had followed Emperor Luo to force Emperor Ye to hand over the people, wanted to kill him and bring away his master and masteress. Previously he asked them to settle the problem but nobody agreed and they still followed the Royal Xuan Temple. Now, they wanted to resolve the matter in a simple way.

Impossible!

“This is the first condition. If you don’t agree, you can leave,” Ye Futian said tonelessly.

It was only the first condition.

The emperors struggled within their hearts.

However, thinking of following the footsteps of the Royal Xuan Temple just now, their mood calmed down slowly. At the moment, the Cangye Kingdom and Ye Futian were connected. Submitting to Cangye was equivalent to submitting to Ye Futian, and this was not unacceptable.

In a few years’ time, the Cangye Kingdom would definitely become the king of all the kingdoms.

“Alright, I agree.” Thinking about this, Emperor Chu gritted his teeth and agreed.

“I agree as well.” The various emperors sighed in their hearts. But under such a circumstance, what else could they possibly do?

“The second condition, your families shall move and stay in the Cangye Imperial City. The Cangye Kingdom will become the Cangye Dynasty, and all of your kingdoms will be attached to the Cangye Dynasty,” Ye Futian continued. The hearts of the few emperors trembled again. Ye Futian was trying to bind them to the Cangye Kingdom completely.

“The third condition, you will no longer control your kingdoms directly. From now on, you will listen to the orders from the Cangye Imperial Palace, for ten years. After ten years, I will return you your freedom,” Ye Futian said slowly. “Of course, maybe ten years later, you will not want to leave this place.”

Ten years was enough for him to grow.

“I agree.”

“I agree…” The emperors from the various kingdoms gritted their teeth and nodded. Ten years was not very long for them, so they would rather use the ten years to exchange for solving all the future troubles.

Emperor Ye and the people from the Cangye Kingdom witnessed everything and their hearts could not remain calm. They knew that from the moment onwards, the Cangye Kingdom would become the strongest kingdom in the Hundred Lands.

The Cangye Dynasty!
