Luo Fan and Xue Ye finished cooking. Everyone ate while chatting.

“Girl, you’ve comprehended a bit of Saintly Will?” the old man said.

“Yes.” Zhuge Hui nodded. “Yes, but I don’t seem able to make the step.”

“It’s not easy. As the ancient books say, a Saint knows the world and all creatures. He has an open heart. That is why I tell you all that you should cultivate your heart as well. Your heart has nothing to do with your plane, but it can determine your level. Some do not have great talents but have an extraordinary heart. Thus, they can still reach extremely high planes. In contrast, if your heart is not enough, your limit is already determined, no matter how talented you are.”

The elder spoke while eating. Ye Futian and the others listened carefully. No wonder his senior brothers and sisters respected their teacher so much. He wasn’t very attractive—he looked careless and even a bit trashy—but when he spoke seriously, he was like a true master.

“Teacher said before that a Saint isn’t only a saint in their cultivation plane,” Zhuge Hui said seriously. “In that case, why can evil people reach this level too?”

Ye Futian had never seen his second senior sister ask for advice so seriously. This was the first time.

“An evil person doesn’t necessarily have a closed heart,” the elder said. “Everyone holds onto their own views and has their own desires based on that. You may think he is evil, but in his eyes, his actions are just. For example, many people think that there are too many cultivators in the world. They think the resources are limited and should belong to the strong cultivators. Those who aren’t ambitious are like ants who shouldn’t be pitied. The weak should become slaves. Do you agree?” Everyone started pondering about the teacher’s words. They seemed simple but were actually quite deep.

“Of course not,” Zhuge Hui said. “There are many forces in the Divine Prefecture. For example, the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory take up different types of cultivation resources. A regular person isn’t even able to find a simple battle technique. If they aren’t lucky, they will be ordinary for their entire life. Not everyone in the world can find a good teacher.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with their second senior sister. Her words resonated with Ye Futian deeply. He’d started in Qingzhou City of the Hundred Lands. The people of Qingzhou didn’t even know what the outside world was like. How could they compare in worldview and resources?

“I won’t find it strange if other people think like this, but I’m surprised you think this way.” The elder smiled at Zhuge Hui. “Then, let me ask you, would you like for everyone in the world to have equal resources or for only you all to be part of the Cottage?”

Zhuge Hui obviously understood what he was saying. She also knew that equality didn’t exist in the world. All forces would only choose the most talented. Oftentimes, one’s birth decided their starting point.

“Emperors and saints are only human. No one can think all this through. Many times, people will treat something differently if they look from a different angle. Thus, I hope that none of you will go to the extreme. Only someone with an open heart can see the world clearly.

“I cannot teach everyone in the world, so I chose you all. In the future, each of you will influence more people. For example, your first senior brother established the Sword Saint Mountain. That is heritage too. Those who are talented and work hard will naturally receive more. However, those with ordinary talents should be treated equally as well. At least, no one has the right to rob them of their efforts to change their fates.”

The elder continued, “Back then, the Divine Prefecture was in chaos. The weak were treated like ants. The two emperors ruled the world and taught them the way, establishing academies. This gave everyone an equal chance. Everyone had the chance to change their fate.”

Ye Futian seemed to understand. It was too complicated.

The elder chuckled. “I’m off topic again. In the future, you’ll have more thoughts after leaving the Eastern Barren Territory. My third, fourth, and fifth disciples, tell me about your cultivation. Did you slack off while I wasn’t here?”

“Teacher, I am untalented and only entered the grade one Noble Plane,” Gu Dongliu said. Ye Futian looked at him speechlessly. Was he seriously calling himself “untalented” while in grade one Noble Plane? When Gu Dongliu fought with Lu Nantian at the beginning of the year, he was still in grade two. It seemed that the battle had helped him improve a lot.

“I am in grade four,” Xue Ye said.

“Teacher, I’m in the middle tier, though only grade six,” Luo Fan said with a smile.

“Teacher, I’m still in the lower Arcana Plane,” Beitang Xing’er mumbled.

“I’m in upper Arcana Plane.” Yi Xiaoshi scratched his head.

“Yu Sheng and I broke into the Arcana Plane on Sky Mountain,” Ye Futian said, smiling. Would the teacher praise him for entering the Arcana Plane before he turned 20?

“You’re almost 20 years old and only just entered the Arcana Plane?” The elder stared at Ye Futian with an exaggerated expression.

Ye Futian blinked. “Teacher, I’m only turning 20 next year.”

“That doesn’t matter. Xing’er is younger than you, but her plane is higher. I don’t know how you’re cultivating,” the man said mercilessly. “But thankfully, you’re lucky. You aren’t as talented, but I’m your teacher. You still have a chance.”

“I…” Ye Futian wanted to argue, but he saw that Zhuge Hui was smiling at him and Gu Dongliu looked serious. His temper died out. They’d told him before to respect the teacher! But his talent had been looked down on!

“Teacher, what plane are you in?” Ye Futian asked curiously.

“I don’t cultivate.” The elder shook his head.

“Teacher, do you think I’ll believe that?” Ye Futian asked.

“Didn’t you see at Sky Mountain? Did the bell have any effect on me?” the man continued. Ye Futian froze. He hadn’t thought of this, but it seemed to make sense now.

“Maybe it’s because your plane is too high?” Ye Futian asked, blinking.

“You think so?” The man ate with his head down. He didn’t look like it.

Ye Futian was confused. So was he wrong and the teacher really didn’t know how to cultivate?

Yi Xiaoshi tried not to laugh. Ever since Ye Futian came, his status had been dropping. Now, the teacher was back and this guy would finally get a taste of things. Ha!

“Even though your cultivation is low and you aren’t talented, don’t give up. I’m done eating, so you can come with me. I’ll teach you well. I treat all my students equally.” The man stood up and dusted himself.

“Ah…” Ye Futian was perplexed.

“You aren’t coming?” the man said, walking away with his hands behind his back.

Ye Futian scratched his head. He glanced at his seniors and saw them all looking at him, so he stood up. Yi Xiaoshi finally couldn’t keep his laughter in. The day had finally come. But then everyone turned to look at him and Yi Xiaoshi felt that the mood was strange. Seeing all their strange eyes, he froze and looked to Ye Futian.

“Wait for no,” Yi Xiaoshi mumbled. “Teacher just came back and he’s going to help Junior?” Since when was the teacher so diligent?

“You finally realized?” Beitang Xing’er asked.

Yi Xiaoshi went completely blank. What…was happening?

“Xiaoshi, you can’t figure out the teacher,” Zhuge Hui said, chuckling. She obviously knew Yi Xiaoshi had been gloating.

…

In the Moon Clan, it was the annual banquet for testing the accomplishments of the disciples for this year. Right now, it was very lively. Many beauties were together, all looking to the beautiful battle before them.

Both sides of the battle were gorgeous. One was Chu Yaoyao, the Virgin of the Moon Clan. The one fighting her was equal in both looks and talent. It was Hua Jieyu who had been cultivating at the Xiaoyue House. After returning from the Hundred Lands, Hua Jieyu had been working hard. She’d improved greatly and was now in the Arcana Plane.

“Yaoyao hadn’t improved a lot this year. What happened?” someone asked. Chu Yaoyao was at this level last year and was still here now.

Many people nodded. Maybe it was because of her relationship with Qin Li that caused her to slack in cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how talented Hua Jieyu was, she couldn’t catch up in one year.

Right now, a muffled grunt came from the battlefield. A spell hit Chu Yaoyao. Just as she was about to escape, endless vines restrained her, anchoring her to the ground. Before her, Hua Jieyu stood with a crown. She was as brilliant as a queen. That was her life spirit. Powerful spiritual strength radiated from her, influencing her every attack.

“Defeated.” Chu Yaoyao looked depressed. She’d lost to the beautiful girl before her.

Hua Jieyu retracted her spell and gazed at Chu Yaoyao. Not wanting to compete, she’d only wanted to cultivate quietly before. But she couldn’t forget how Ye Futian had been treated when he came last time. She didn’t want Ye Futian to go through that if he came to find her again. Thus, she had to compete.

The surrounding people fell quiet. They knew what it meant if Chu Yaoyao lost. Many people looked over to the leader of the Moon Clan. She had witnessed this herself.

“Hua Jieyu will replace Chu Yaoyao as the Virgin,” she said.

The crowd was in an uproar. How long had Hua Jieyu been here? She’d already replaced Chu Yaoyao.

At this time, people from the distance were hurrying over. Goddess Wangyue looked over and asked, “What’s going on?” As soon as she spoke, she looked to the distance. There was a powerful aura coming from there.

“Qin Yu of the Qin Dynasty has come for a visit,” a voice said. A short while later, Qin Yu arrived with a dragon. He looked down at Goddess Wangyue and smiled. “I’m sorry for the disturbance. Please forgive me.”

Chapter 367: Mockery

Everyone in the Moon Clan looked up at the incoming figure. Their expressions changed slightly.

Qin Yu came with a dragon without any prior notification. Standing arrogantly in the air, he was being very impolite. He wasn’t the only one here either. There were also various dragons and strong cultivators. The people of the Moon Clan instantly felt pressure.

The Qin Dynasty wanted to ally with the entire Eastern Barren Territory against the Cottage. They wanted to become the king. If not for the Sword Saint’s arrival months ago at the banquet, the alliance would have been formed already. Now, the Fuyun Sword Clan and Royal Xuan Temple were apparently fully allied with the Qin Dynasty. In this situation, the Moon Clan naturally wished to remain neutral, but it seemed difficult now.

“Since the crown prince is here, please take a seat.” Goddess Wangyue’s voice was gentle and her eyes were calm. No one could guess what she was thinking, but actually, she was sighing inwardly too.

The three top forces of the center were already at the peak. Now, two were allied and the Qin Dynasty had excavated their ancestral tomb. There would be no suspense if they attacked the Moon Clan. The Liu Kingdom had set the example.

“No need. I came today to say something,” Qin Yu said nonchalantly. He made a direct rejection and remained in the air, looking down at Goddess Wangyue.

Many Moon Clan disciples were upset at this. Their pretty eyes turned cold, but no one dared to do anything. The Qin Dynasty wouldn’t dare to do this to the Cottage. When Qin Ge had brought his men to the Cottage, Gu Dongliu had killed them all outside Book Mountain. That had been so powerful.

Sometimes, people envied how free and chivalrous the Cottage could be. Even their enemies probably both feared and respected them.

“Crown Prince, please speak,” Goddess Wangyue said calmly.

“Chu Yaoyao.” Qin Yu’s cold gaze fell to Chu Yaoyao who was still on the battle platform. “Ye Futian killed my son Qin Li on Sky Mountain. You are his fiancée. Why did you just stand there?”

Chu Yaoyao’s face paled instantly. What must come would always come. Many people had seen Qin Li die before her. She couldn’t refute Qin Yu’s accusations.

Everyone in the Moon Clan looked to her. All the pressure in the world fell onto her at this moment.

“Why aren’t you speaking?” Invisible might came from Qin Yu’s body.

“I cannot explain,” Chu Yaoyao said, looking up.

Qin Yu’s expression turned frigid. Did she think that was enough?

“The Moon Clan did not wish to see the death of the royal grandson,” Goddess Wangyue said. “I can understand your feelings too. However, Ye Futian is responsible. You should go to him, rather than take your anger out on a woman.”

“I naturally won’t take my anger out on an unrelated person,” Qin Yu said. “However, she is my son’s fiancée, but she didn’t do anything. She didn’t kill Ye Futian even after he lost the ability to fight. I have to suspect her. My son is dead but the marriage still stands. Chu Yaoyao is still the daughter-in-law of the Qin Dynasty. Goddess, you won’t mind if I take her to the Qin Dynasty, right?”

Everyone in the Moon Clan was aghast. Since Qin Li was dead, the marriage naturally should be canceled. But Qin Yu still wanted to take Chu Yaoyao away? He clearly didn’t want to forgive her. They didn’t know how she would be treated if she really went to the Qin Dynasty. Qin Yu would do whatever he wished.

“Crown Prince, don’t you think your words are a bit bizarre?” Goddess Wangyue said. “He is dead but the marriage still stands?”

“So are you saying that if my son is dead, there’s no need to search for the reason? There is no need to investigate what his fiancée did either?” The dragon under Qin Yu huffed. He stood on the dragon’s head and his voice grew colder. Invisible might radiated from him. It seemed that if the Moon Clan dissatisfied him today, he would attack directly.

The Moon Clan all looked uncomfortable. Chu Yaoyao looked around. She knew that they couldn’t save her. Since Qin Yu had brought his men here, the result was already decided. Who in the Eastern Barren Territory could counter the Qin Dynasty other than the Cottage?

“I’ll go,” Chu Yaoyao suddenly said. Her pretty eyes were determined. When she spoke, she looked relieved. She had chosen this path. Since it was the wrong path, she would pay for it. She naturally had her own motives when she’d accepted Qin Li’s pursuit. Now, she had to bear the consequences.

Hearing Chu Yaoyao’s words, many people went to look at her. She smiled faintly as if she didn’t really care. Looking up at Qin Yu, she said, “I am willing to go to the Qin Dynasty with you. Qin Li’s death has nothing to do with me and I couldn’t kill Ye Futian, but all of this is meaningless. I’ll go with you.” With that, she rose into the air. She looked down at Hua Jieyu with some envy.

A dragon moved forward to take her. However, Qin Yu didn’t show any sign of leaving.

Goddess Wangyue gazed at him. “Anything else we can help you with?”

“There is indeed. It is my main reason for coming,” Qin Yu said. “Goddess, I’ve heard of you and look up to you. I didn’t come here today just for myself. I also bring the wishes of my father and the leaders of the Donghua Clan and Fuyun Clan to invite you to join us in ruling the Eastern Barren Territory.” Since he came, he must take care of Chu Yaoyao’s matter. However, he wouldn’t do all this just for her. The one he wanted to kill was Ye Futian; he wanted to destroy the Cottage.

“I do not have that ambition. Crown Prince, please tell Emperor Qin and the other clan leaders that I must disappoint them.” Goddess Wangyue’s voice was gentle.

“The Cottage is unjust and murders the innocent. Many royal lives of the Qin Dynasty were lost in their hands. The Eastern Barren Territory will attack them together. Goddess, you are one of the leaders of a top force. How can you sit without doing anything?”

Qin Yu continued, “Goddess, do not worry. To show our sincerity, we wish to have a marriage alliance. My son is dead, but there are still many excellent juniors. Coincidentally, the Moon Clan chose a new Virgin today. She can marry into the Qin Dynasty. What do you think?”

The disciples of the Moon Clan stared. This was Qin Yu’s true motive today. He wanted to force the Moon Clan to choose. As for the marriage, it was even more of a joke. They were sure that Qin Yu knew who the new Virgin was. The only reason he wanted to take Hua Jieyu away was to provoke Ye Futian.

Relatives shouldn’t be involved in these things. Hua Jieyu was only a girlfriend and was also a disciple of a top force Qin Yu’s words were extremely impolite, even a bit insulting. He was clearly pressuring the Moon Clan, wanting to take over them. Further, it wasn’t just the Qin Dynasty pressuring the Moon Clan now. It was the alliance of four top forces.

If they agreed, they would live.

If they refused, they would die.

The Moon Clan was facing what the Liu Kingdom had faced. Last time, the Qin Dynasty found an excuse to attack. This time, they were even more direct. The Qin Dynasty was stronger now too. They wanted to destroy two top forces in a row. They were so cruel.

Hua Jieyu gazed at Goddess Wangyue. Obviously, she wouldn’t go with Qin Yu.

Goddess Wangyue fell silent. Then she looked to Qin Yu and said, “The Moon Clan doesn’t wish to be involved in the rivalry between the Qin Dynasty and Cottage. Hua Jieyu is our Virgin. I will ask of her opinion on the marriage. If you have nothing else to say, please return.”

She rejected him.

All Moon Clan disciples present held their breaths. An invisible force enveloped them. They knew what Goddess Wangyue’s rejection meant. It was highly possible they couldn’t bear the consequences.

“Goddess, do you not care about justice?” Qin Yu asked coldly. He scanned the others and said, “I believe that not everyone in the Moon Clan is as confused as Goddess Wangyue. Does anyone wish to accomplish something great with the Qin Dynasty?”

Many hearts trembled. Before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Liu Kingdom, they’d separated many lords and officials of the Liu Kingdom. Apparently, those traitors were in charge of the current Liu Kingdom. Now, Qin Yu clearly wanted to attack the Moon Clan. He asked who wished to follow them to divide them.

“Junior Sister, the crown prince’s words aren’t completely illogical,” someone suddenly said. It was Yan Feihong, leader of the Qianyue Pavilion, master of Chu Yaoyao. Her status was very high. She was Goddess Wangyue’s senior sister.

Goddess Wangyue gazed at Yan Feihong, her eyes turning cold. Yan Feihong’s eyes flitted away. She didn’t dare meet Goddess Wangyue’s eyes. Though she was older, her junior sister was more excellent and had a very decisive personality. However, faced with the Qin Dynasty’s pressure, the Moon Clan had no other choices. She had to think for herself.

“Senior Yan knows how valuable justice is. People like you should be the leader of the Moon Clan,” Qin Yu said. “Anyone else?”

“Shut up,” Goddess Wangyue said coldly to Qin Yu. As soon as she spoke, the air turned chillier.

Qin Yu’s smile froze. He stared down at Goddess Wangyue. He grasped the dragon spear and a dragon’s image wrapped around the tip.

Goddess Wangyue stood up. Her robes fluttered without any wind. She wasn’t young but she only looked around 30 years old. Her aura was cold and cool. She had once been the beauty of the Eastern Barren Territory, but she was still single now.

“Qin Yu, how did you feel to be whipped like a dog by the Cottage’s second disciple at the foot of Sky Mountain?” Goddess Wangyue mocked. “The one who killed your son is Ye Futian of the Cottage. You don’t dare go to him, so you come to flaunt your power here. Don’t you think it is embarrassing for someone so cowardly to become the king of the Eastern Barren Territory?”

Since they would fight, there was no need to be polite. As the Goddess Wangyue, she was as pure as jade. But this didn’t mean that she was soft!

Chapter 368: Sister-in-Law

In the silence, only Goddess Wangyue’s voice could be heard. Qin Yu froze but then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. People of the Moon Clan were also stunned. They didn’t expect that their gentle and beautiful fairy would scold Qin Yu in such a tone, but her emotional outburst was understandable. The Qin Dynasty was really rude and unreasonable.

Everyone in the Eastern Barren Territory all knew the dispute between the Qin Dynasty and the Cottage. But the Qin Dynasty had been balking at confronting with the Cottage. They knocked down the Liu Kingdom only to show their strength. Now they planned to get the Moon Clan involved in this dispute?

The air grew oppressive. Qin Yu and Goddess Wangyue gazed at each other coldly. Some people came from the Moon Tower and descended beside the fairy. Though the head of the Moon Clan, Goddess Wangyue’s seniority in the clan was not very high. Among those comers, many were her seniors.

“It is surprising to know that Goddess Wangyue is so resolute.” Qin Yu suddenly laughed scornfully. “What a shame! You have so many disciples here! Let me ask again. Whoever follows the Qin Dynasty can be exempted!”

Qin Yu glanced at the crowd. Many wavered.

Yan Feihong stepped forward and spoke up, “I would like to follow the Qin Dynasty. Would anyone like to join me?” Hearing her words, many people rose up including a few talented disciples.

“Master Yan?” Chu Yaoyao looked at Yan Feihong in disappointment.

“Yan Feihong, does the Moon Clan not treat you well?” an old lady questioned her coldly.

“Senior, this is the only way out. Going against the trend is no good for the Moon Clan. Can you persuade them? I don’t want to see them die,” Yan Feihong responded.

“Good! At least I know what kind of people you are now. When the clan is in danger, you cower and even betray the clan. There is no need for such kind of people to stay anymore.” Goddess Wangyue didn’t care about the betrayal. She looked at her people and sighed. “As the head of the Moon Clan, I always choose to stay away from the chaotic of the Eastern Barren Territory. But there are always some people who just want to provoke me.”

“You know this is inevitable. Why do you still choose this way?” In the air, Qin Yu held his threatening long spear in hand. The long spear spun and dragon’s roar was heard.

“Qin Yu, you think you are the smartest in the Eastern barren territory? No. Others just won’t do it in your ways. You want us to get involved in this war? Okay, I’ll satisfy you,” Goddess Wangyue said apathetically.

Qin Yu didn’t say anything else. The Qin Dynasty, Donghua Clan, Fuyun Sword Clan, and the Royal Xuan Temple had allied. The Cottage was their only concern. The Moon Clan was so rebellious. In that case, he would exterminate this rebellious clan.

The long spear emitted blazing golden light in the air. Numerous mighty dragons surrounded Qin Yu. Suddenly, some soaring sharp Sword Will appeared beside him. Obviously, the Qin Dynasty was not the only comer.

“It seems that both the Fuyun Sword Clan and Royal Xuan Temple chose to be loyal dogs. How pathetic it is!” Goddess Wangyue scorned. She distinguished the three lords of the Fuyun Sword Clan as well as the three heads of the Royal Xuan Temple. With them, Qin Yu was definitely a far more powerful force than what the Liu Kingdom had confronted with before.

It was obvious that the Qin Dynasty had learned a lesson from the fight with the Liu Kingdom. At that time, if Emperor Liu was not absent, Qin Yu’s group might not have defeated the Liu Kingdom so easily.

All the disciples of the Moon Clan could feel the predicament they were in. At this time, Goddess Wangyue rose into the sky. An enormous Kunpeng appeared behind her, overshadowing the sky. When the Kunpeng appeared, an extremely icy breath rolled over. All the steam in the air liquefied into a substantial rain. A rainstorm suddenly came to the Moon Clan.

The Kunpeng was Goddess Wangyue’s life spirit. With her level, her life spirit had grown very mighty and condensed into substantial giant Kunpeng. Since Kunpengs evolved from fish, they had both strong spells of wind and water. Goddess Wangyue was at the top of the Noble Plane, almost becoming a Sage. Controlling the forces of nature like rain and wind was very easy to her.

A crescent moon loomed behind the fairy at this time, reflecting the vast space like an ancient mirror. This was her second life spirit.

“It’s the Moon Mirror.” Qin Yu looked at that Dharma that included the Moon Clan’s heirloom. The Moon Mirror was the origin of the Moon Clan’s name. The Moon Mirror was a Sage-level ritual implement.

Every top force’s creation had a story. The thriving of the Liu Kingdom was because of the Saint Turtle, whereas the Moon Clan became a top force because of this ritual implement.

“Be careful! Let me fight with her,” Qin Yu said seriously. Goddess Wangyue with the Moon Mirror was a great threat to him. Though not having been in a battle for a long while, Goddess Wangyue was known to be best at a one-versus-many fight.

Right now, Goddess Wangyue looked more beautiful and extraordinary like a snow goddess. Her beautiful cold eyes peered at the sky and then beams of moonlight swept through behind her. Raindrops in the air were all frozen into ice. In an instant, extremely cold air covered this place. The world turned snow white.

The dragons around Qin Yu growled. Their enormous bodies gradually froze. The strong cultivators on dragons also felt their mentality froze. Soon, their bodies were turned into ice sculptures. This was Ice Sorrow, a spell mixing cold ice spell with spiritual energy.

Qin Yu’s body emitted the sharp aura of the gold attribute. He rode his dragon and rushed downward. He slashed the spear down. Those dragons around him were covered with snow but still moved on. Qin Yu rushed toward the fairy-like gold lightning.

Among the people here, only he was at the same level as Goddess Wangyue. The masters from the Fuyun Sword Clan and the Royal Xuan Temple were all weaker. Without the help of a Sage-level ritual implement, others couldn’t be Goddess Wangyue’s match at all. Qin Yu had to deal with this himself. Though they had the advantage in number Goddess Wangyue could still very possibly win with the ritual implement.

Qin Yu was good at martial arts while Goddess Wangyue only cultivated sorcery. To get closer to her would definitely be best for Qin Yu.

The Kunpeng rushed toward the dragon. Goddess Wangyue gazed at Qin Yu. The moon behind her melted with the ritual implement and sent blazing lights toward Qin Yu. Trembling, Qin Yu held his mentality and a suit of resplendent armor appeared on his body. The freezing attributes couldn’t stop him anymore. He rushed down toward the fairy.

At this time, a pair of ice wings appeared behind Goddess Wangyue like the Kunpeng’s wings. She gathered the attribute of wind and then a violent tornado moved toward Qin Yu. She quickly rose up higher at an amazing speed.

Qin Yu ripped apart the tornado. He glanced at the fairy up in the sky and sneered. Goddess Wangyue was good at the Wind attribute; of course, he couldn’t catch up with her. But if the fairy chose to escape, she couldn’t protect others. They would be killed.

Bang. An extremely keen intent burst out. A glaring golden light fell down and covered the whole Moon Clan. At this moment, all people of the Moon Clan were terrified. Goddess Wangyue was the only one that could confront Qin Yu.

At this time on another battleground, a strong cultivator of the Royal Xuan Temple went down to Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu’s face changed a little. With wind sorcery, she escaped, but the enemy in the Noble plane. How could she escape? She was caught soon.

Suddenly, a glaring light came from afar. It was as fast as lightning. Even the air was quaking. Whoosh. The noble who caught Hua Jieyu was split into two. That glaring light stopped and stayed above Hua Jieyu’s head. A shrill sound was heard from the light and a horrible image loomed. It was Broadsword Will.

Seeing there was still someone rushing toward Hua Jieyu, that Broadsword Will turned into lightning again and split the comer. Blood splashed in the air. Those coming noble cultivators were killed one by one. Then the Broadsword Will rushed toward Qin Yu. He waved his long spear and pierced toward the lightning. The lightning was diminished but Qin Yu’s face paled. In the Eastern Barren Territory, only one person could send such violent Broadsword Will.

He turned around and peered at the distant. A figure in black stepped out. He moved slowly but it only took him several steps to the battlefield. The person looked at Hua Jieyu but Hua Jieyu hadn’t figured out what had just happened. The man in black had just saved her, but she didn’t know who he was. How was he so powerful? His appearance stopped the battle abruptly but naturally.

“My sister-in-law, are you okay?” The man in black smiled at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu blinked. Sister-in-law? She quickly figured out the comer’s status. Since she was his sister-in-law, he must be a disciple of the Cottage.

Among the disciples of the Cottage, only one person was good at the broadsword. Thinking of this, Hua Jieyu smiled. She didn’t expect that Ye Futian’s senior brother would come.

“My greetings, Senior Sword Saint.” Hua Jieyu bowed slightly. The Sword Saint was a legend of the Eastern Barren Territory.

“Senior Sword Saint?” The Sword Saint shook his head with a smile. “I’m Ye Futian’s senior brother. You can call me that too.”

“Oh.” Hua Jieyu nodded slightly and called, “Senior Brother.”

“Good.” The Sword Saint nodded slightly and looked at Goddess Wangyue.

Goddess Wangyue floated in the air. She looked at the Sword Saint and said, “It seems that you were right.”

“Though our teacher is busy, he is always concerned with us,” the Sword Saint said. After the bell on Sky Mountain tolled and all forces went back, the teacher found him and asked him to visit the Moon Clan. Actually, he had been living below the Moon Clan’s mountain for a few days. Goddess Wangyue had met him before. The Moon Clan didn’t want to get involved. He respected her choice, so he just lived there!

Chapter 369: Move Clan

Qin Yu and the other strong cultivators looked at the Sword Saint with uncomfortable expressions. They’d brought people from four top forces, overestimating the Moon Clan’s power.

But they didn’t expect that the Sword Saint would be here too.

They had strength in numbers, but the top force determined everything. If either the Sword Saint or Goddess Wangyue went after Qin Yu, no one could stop the other.

The Sword Saint had killed countless nobles with a bit of Broadsword Will.

“Goddess Wangyue,” Qin Yu said coldly, “you didn’t want to enter the battle because you’ve already become allied with the Cottage.”

Goddess Wangyue gazed at him coldly. The Sword Saint had chatted with her before. She didn’t wish to enter this storm and wanted to stay neutral. However, the Sword Saint didn’t like this. He thought that the Qin Dynasty would come. And just as he’d predicted, the Sword Saint really did come. She couldn’t even take a step back. If she didn’t agree, her clan would be destroyed.

In that case, she could only joint the battle.

“Their safety is on you.” Goddess Wangyue looked down. Her life spirit flashed, shining onto Qin Yu. He was instantly isolated. A cold intent seeped into his bones.

The spell Ice Sorrow was cast again. This time, it was targeted at Qin Yu alone instead of the group.

Qin Yu felt his spiritual energy about to be frozen. Both his senses and movements slowed down. Iciness attacked him, about to cover his body.

Dazzling golden light shone. His body seemed to turn to gold like he was a god of war. Endless light shot through everything, roaring in the world of ice and snow, tearing the iciness.

Goddess Wangyue reached out, closing her eyes. The entire world seemed to slow.

Boom. A shocking windstorm was born. A boundless hurricane enveloped her and Qin Yu. If one looked down from the air, they would see a vortex of wind. Goddess Wangyue melded into the windstorm and circled around Qin Yu incredibly fast.

Qin Yu held his dragon spear in preparation. He was a powerful martial arts cultivator and had extreme power. However, Goddess Wangyue was a pure sorcerer. She couldn’t fight him directly.

That horrible windstorm spun crazily. Qin Yu felt that he was spinning with the air too. He couldn’t see the outside world clearly.

The Moon Clan looked up to the windstorm. It could destroy everything and rip this clan apart. But now, it rose up into the air, leaving the Moon Clan. It was clear that Goddess Wangyue was worried this wild battle would hurt her disciples. For someone at the pinnacle like Qin Yu, no one could stop him if he wanted to kill. She could only move the battleground.

As for the Moon Clan, she handed it to the Sword Saint. She clearly trusted him more than she trusted herself. She believed the Sword Saint could protect the Moon Clan more. Thus, she brought Qin Yu away.

The Sword Saint looked up to the sky. Broadsword Will filled the sky, coming out of his body and going in many directions. Gradually, the entire air was sliced by them.

“Die!” he uttered coldly. As soon as he spoke, those beams of Broadsword Will transformed into bolts of lightning. They shot across the sky. Dragons roared, the Broadsword Will cut, and the dragons were split apart, crying out.

Powerful nobles used their spells to fight back, but the Broadsword Will seemed undefeatable. There were various squelches. People in the sky were continuously sliced; they couldn’t fight back at all. Sorcery and sword light cut towards the Sword Saint and the Moon Clan at the same time.

“Stand there and don’t move,” the Sword Saint said to the Moon Clan disciples who wanted to fight. He shot into the air, grasping a bit of Broadsword Will, cutting through the air. The Broadsword Intent used his body as the core and spread out. Instantly, a dazzling broadsword enchantment shone in his surroundings. Endless sorcery and sword light shone down, trying to destroy the enchantment.

Just then, beams of sword light descended like lightning. It drowned everything, almost breaking the air as it went straight to the Sword Saint. These were from the leaders of the Fuyun Sword Clan.

The Sword Saint looked but didn’t move. Beams of Sword Will cut down, blasting on his body. However, terrifying broadsword light flowed across his body, almost transforming into solid armor. Sharp sword aura descended but couldn’t cut through the armor.

There was a huge difference between someone almost in the Sage Plane and at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane.

“Retreat,” the leaders of the Fuyun Sword Clan said. They knew that even if they had more people, the Sword Saint was enough by himself, even if he had to protect the Moon Clan too.

People retreated hurriedly, soaring into the sky.

“I’d warned you at the Qin Dynasty last time. Since you didn’t listen, why don’t you stay now?” the Sword Saint said. The broadsword enchantment around him shrieked and transformed into boundless light. It broke through the air, chasing after the escaping figures.

“Hurry!” someone yelled.

They were fast, but the Broadsword Will was faster. It streaked across the sky, destroying all defensive spells. Many people became helpless. They watched the Broadsword Will descend and cut through their bodies. Faced with this Sage broadsword light, they couldn’t fight back at all.

Only the leaders of the Fuyun Sword Clan could block the attack. But then, the Sword Saint’s body seemed to transform into light. He was even faster than the Broadsword Will. Reaching out his right hand, dazzling light consolidated into a blade.

“No!” someone yelled in fear when he saw the Sword Saint. However, the man didn’t charge at him. He just walked past and halved the person. He wasn’t the only one. When the Sword Saint walked past those escaping, blood would bloom in the sky.

The strong cultivator with Chu Yaoyao twisted his features. Just as he wanted to kill Chu Yaoyao, the sword light descended. His dragon was killed and then it fell upon him.

Chu Yaoyao fell down with the destroyed dragon’s corpse. Looking at the Sword Saint who passed her, she felt reverence. With his sword, the nobles were like ants. He was so powerful. She thought she would die today. She didn’t expect that she would be saved by Ye Futian’s senior brother. Of course, she knew that the Sword Saint wasn’t here for her. He was here for Ye Futian’s lover—Hua Jieyu was at the Moon Clan.

Dazzling sword light bloomed in the air, accompanied by fearful begs for forgiveness. Chu Yaoyao fell through the sky. She felt indescribable emotions as she looked up at that scene. Below her, the Moon Clan also saw that dazzling light. The sky seemed to be sliced apart. They felt yearning. Was this a truly top battle? A single man could destroy an entire army.

“Yan Feihong,” a cold voice said. Then figures flashed, flying towards Yan Feihong.

The Sword Saint didn’t kill her. This was the private matter of the Moon Clan so the clan would solve it.

Yan Feihong’s face paled instantly. She looked to the furious crowd around her. “I was thinking for the Moon Clan too. Was I wrong?” she asked. “The clan leader knew that the Sword Saint was here. Why didn’t she tell us?”

“I knew,” an old woman said. “I saw the clan leader with the Sword Saint. He guessed that the Qin Dynasty might attack the Moon Clan and asked for our opinion. The clan leader didn’t wish to be involved. The Sword Saint was fair and respected our choice. However, he didn’t leave, preparing to fight the Qin Dynasty. If they didn’t come, none of this would happen. If more people knew about this and the Qin Dynasty heard about it, we would be forced to enter.”

“Stop wasting time with her. Wait for the clan leader to return and punish her,” others said. Yan Feihong’s face was pale.

In the air, the Sword Saint killed everyone and rose up again, going to another battlefield. He saw Goddess Wangyue in the sky, but Qin Yu wasn’t there.

“He escaped,” Goddess Wangyue said. “He must have known that it would be dangerous once you were free so he gave up.”

“Yes.” The Sword Saint nodded. Qin Yu had saintly ritual implements too. It would be hard for Goddess Wangyue to keep him here.

“Thank you.” After all, the Cottage and Moon Clan didn’t have much of a relationship.

“You’re welcome. The Qin Dynasty is working with everyone to attack the Cottage. Helping you is helping the Cottage,” the Sword Saint said as they returned to the Moon Clan.

“However, the Moon Clan won’t be safe anymore,” he continued.

Goddess Wangyue knew this too. She gazed at the green mountains and smiled bitterly. “Since the Qin Dynasty is forcing the Moon Clan to choose, there’s nothing else I can say. Is there room on Book Mountain?”

“Welcome.” The Sword Saint nodded with a smile.

Looking down at the people, Goddess Wangyue said, “You have all seen what happened. There is no need for me to speak further. I will move the clan to Book Mountain. If anyone wishes to leave and stay away from this storm, I will not force you. Those who wish to go, please gather your belongings and get ready to leave.”

The Moon Clan was in an uproar, but they understood that their leader was helpless. They had no other choices. If not for the Sword Saint, the Moon Clan would have either gone to the Qin Dynasty or been destroyed.

Book Mountain, the Cottage.

On the ancient summit surrounded by clouds, there was a patch of emerald-green grass, on which a handsome figure was sitting quietly. Beside him, there was a pile of books. The person was reading a book in silence at the moment.

On a huge boulder not far behind him, an elder was lying down quietly. He was holding a wine pot in his hand, from which he would take a sip every now and then. He looked extremely leisurely. The two were obviously Ye Futian and his master Mr. Du. After finishing the book, Ye Futian closed his eyes. Immediately, Spiritual Qi around him resonated. Wind whizzed in the sky and the entire atmosphere turned tense. Accompanied by ear-piercing noises, many sharp wind blades appeared in space which seemed to be interwoven in a messy manner. They swept forward and even space itself seemed to be entangled. More amazingly, the wind blades which were charging forward slowly converged together, eventually forming a straight line.

Boom! A loud noise erupted. A low mountain in the distance was cleaved into two pieces at the middle. The crack was as thin as a line and was hardly noticeable. The wind-elemental spell was as sharp as a sword.

Ye Futian opened his eyes, after which he started reading another book.

“Master, little brother, mealtime!” someone shouted from the distance. Ye Futian put down the book and turned his head. He saw Beitang Xing’er walking towards him with a lunch box. The old man on the huge boulder stood up. Smiling, he said, “Six, what good food is there today?”

“Master, take a look yourself.” Beitang Xing’er jumped onto the boulder and opened the lunch box. Then, she took out the rice and dishes. At once, the aroma of food spread out. Ye Futian also stood up and approached Beitang Xing’er, feeling somewhat hungry.

The old man glanced at Ye Futian and said lazily, “Who asked you to stop?”

“Master, I have been practicing for quite long and feel really hungry now,” Ye Futian said, feeling wronged. “Furthermore, I am almost done learning all the spells.”

“Oh, Xing’er, later go to the Book Cave and pick some more spells for your brother to cultivate,” the old man said, grinning.

“Some more?” Ye Futian said with a long face. “Master, these spells are all quite ordinary and not very useful. Moreover, they’re not very hard to learn.”

“Kid, what do you know? Reading a book is cultivation. It can allow you to find your true self. Just like the saying, the meaning of a book will become clear if you read it a hundred times. You only know so few spells so far, and yet you claim that these are useless. Since you have decided to become a sorcerer, you must be adept at least 3,000 spells. Otherwise, don’t call yourself a Cottage disciple,” Mr. Du said emotionlessly, but his hands had already started moving. As he ate and drank, he continued, “It’s a rare chance that I am back, and I am using all my time on your cultivation. You don’t know how much your brothers and sisters envy you.”

“Master, I am willing to give this opportunity to them.” Ye Futian was almost going to cry. 3,000 spells? I might as well die! Is this old guy going to ask me to cultivate all the spells in the Book Cave?

I will die.

Revenge…this is certainly revenge!

“No way. You are the youngest. I have taught all your brothers and sister before, so I cannot be biased. I am a man with principles,” the old man said in a serious tone.

“It’s fine. I don’t mind,” Ye Futian said.

“Alright then. Six, in the future you will copy books with him. After your fourth brother started copying books, he has learned many spells. I think that it’s really helpful,” the old man said casually.

“Master, I’m wrong. I will continue to cultivate spells,” Ye Futian cried. Beitang Xing’er giggled, looking very charming. She looked at Ye Futian and said, “Little brother, come and eat. The dishes are getting cold.

“Thank you, sister Xing’er.” Ye Futian was touched. The two sisters were really good to him.

“Little brother, you should stop complaining. Second sister and third brother are all hoping that the master can spend more time teaching them.” Beitang Xing’er served the dishes to Ye Futian. Smiling gently, she continued, “Only after you learn many spells can you merge them and be an expert. You are talented in all elements, so you should naturally make full use of it. When you understand all spells, you can do whatever you want. You can cast spells simply with a thought.”

“Listen to her. You are already not young. I really wonder how you used to cultivate in the past. Xing’er is younger than you but she knows more than you. You are really hopeless. Luckily, you have met me,” Mr. Du said as he ate. Ye Futian felt speechless. Just now, Mr. Du called him ‘kid’, and now he said that Ye Futian was not young.

“I am only repeating what you have taught me,” Beitang Xing’er said.

Ye Futian sighed. He felt unlucky that he had such a master.

“Master.” From the distance, Yi Xiaoshi also walked over. Noticing that Ye Futian and the master were eating together, he looked at Ye Futian in envy. It seemed indeed that fat people had no rights.

“Fat boy, what is it?” the old man asked.

Cough, cough… Ye Futian coughed and glanced at Yi Xiaoshi. This nickname was fantastic.

Yi Xiaoshi widened his eyes at Ye Futian. He was brought to the Cottage when he was young, and since then the master had been calling him ‘fat boy’. What could he do? Was it his mistake to be fat?

“Master, Goddess Wangyue had brought the disciples of Moon Clan here. She wants to see you,” Yi Xiaoshi said.

“Didn’t your big brother come back as well?” the old man asked.

“Nope. I think he should have returned to Sword Saint Mountain to prepare,” Yi Xiaoshi replied. At the moment, the situation in the Eastern Barren Territory was extremely unstable, so even Sword Saint Mountain was unsafe. Therefore, he naturally had to gather everyone together. Book Mountain was undoubtedly the safest place. Both the Cottage and the College were situated here. The only place that Qin Dynasty did not yet dare to attack was Book Mountain. Otherwise, they would have made their attack long ago. They were clearly not very confident.

Beside them, Ye Futian’s eyes glittered. Goddess Wangyue had led all the Moon Clan disciples here, so something bad must have happened in Moon Clan. The master indeed had some foresight; Qin Dynasty still touched Moon Clan after all. However, since big brother had been ambushing there, Qin Dynasty must have paid a huge price this time. Moon Clan was here, so obviously Jieyu was as well.

“I’m full. Master, I’ll go and take a look.” Ye Futian dashed out.

“Have your cultivation ended?” the old man roared.

“Master, what are you saying?” Ye Futian replied, but he was already very far away.

Humph, easy. Didn’t you say that you don’t know cultivation? Then come and chase me!

“Look at how much he values his girlfriend over his master. Why did three take in such a disciple for me?” the old man remarked, speechless.

“I totally agree. I think he should get some punishment.” Yi Xiaoshi added oil to the fire.

“Alright. Fat boy, you can cultivate with him,” the old man said casually. Yi Xiaoshi immediately kept quiet.

“Ask your second sister to go. I’ll go and chat with my senior,” the old man said, after which he turned around and left. Yi Xiaoshi nodded and went back.

At the entrance of Book Mountain, the huge square was filled with beauties of various kinds. There were so many charming ladies that even the entrance to Book Mountain was blocked. This was definitely a feast to the eyes of the College disciples. Countless people from the College had come here after receiving the news and were enjoying the sight.

“So many beauties.”

“I heard that in the future, the members of Moon Clan are going to cultivate on Book Mountain?”

“I think so. I wonder if the chief is going to agree.”

“Obviously he is going to agree. My mountain has a lost of empty space and can accommodate many of them.”

“Same for my mountain.”

The entrance of Book Mountain became extremely lively. The members of the College were almost going to drool. The scene before them was too beautiful and dazzling. In the College, there were far more male disciples than female disciples, so they had never seen such a large group of pure beauties. They felt that they were already in heaven.

“It’s my first time seeing Goddess Wangyue. She indeed deserves the name of goddess, so pure and ethereal.”

“That’s the Virgin of Moon Clan, Chu Yaoyao. She is one of the top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory.”

“And there, so many beauties. Who is that?” Everyone turned to look in a particular direction. Not far behind Goddess Wangyue, there was a lady who was about nineteen years old. She was even prettier than Chu Yaoyao. Her face was stunning and flawless, and her skin was as smooth as jade. She was as exquisite as an elf.

“Yeah, who is that? Why have I never heard about her before? She is even more beautiful than Chu Yaoyao, so why is she not one of the top three beauties?”

Many people started discussing. The College disciples Tang Ye was also among the crowd. Knowing obviously who that lady was, he said, “She is Hua Jieyu.” Hua Jieyu seldom showed up in the Eastern Barren Territory so not many knew her. Therefore, although her look was gorgeous, she was not as famous.

“Hua Jieyu,” many people muttered. Then, they suddenly thought of a person: Hua Jieyu, Ye Futian’s girlfriend. It seemed that they would not stand a chance at all.

Suddenly, a person arrived at the place from the distance. Ye Futian landed on the ground and similarly felt somewhat dazzled.

“Greetings, goddess.” Ye Futian bowed at Goddess Wangyue who was in front of the rest.

“I have heard your name many times. Indeed, you look extraordinary,” Goddess Wangyue said, smiling. She was being honest. Every Cottage disciple was incredibly talented. Ye Futian was not yet twenty, and yet his name had spread to every corner of the Eastern Barren Territory. Even Qin Li died to him. His future was certainly going to be bright and grand.

“Goddess, you flatter me.” Ye Futian scratched his head as if he was feeling embarrassed. Then, he said softly, “I’m here to see my wife.”

“Wife…” Goddess Wangyue blinked. Then, she smiled and turned around to look at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu’s face blushed at once as she noticed that many people around her were staring at her. She widened her eyes at Ye Futian. Can’t this guy keep a low profile?

Ye Futian walked into the crowd and approached Hua Jieyu. Smiling, he said, “Jieyu, I miss you so much.”

“Hey, do you think that we are non-existent?” Yun Rou, whom Ye Futian knew, said, smiling.

“Sister, in the future we will be a single family.” Ye Futian grinned and looked at her, causing many Moon Clan members to laugh. Then, he reached out his hand towards Hua Jieyu’s hand. Hua Jieyu dodged slightly, but then she allowed him to grab her hand. Another wave of uproarious talk and laughter erupted.

“What an animal…” Seeing the scene, countless College disciples could feel their hearts bleeding.

Suddenly, another group of people arrived at the place. It was Zhuge Hui and the rest. Zhuge Hui glanced at Ye Futian and smiled. This guy really could not keep a low profile!
