The next morning, a line of figures gathered in Wang Family’s hall, ready to leave. Many Wang Family’s members attended to see off Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian. Ye Futian’s victory in the battle of four forces was a big boon for Wang Family. They could only treat Yang Ting and Yang Yi well to reward Ye Futian since he would not stay here anymore.

“Brother Ye, you won’t come back anymore, right?” Staring at Ye Futian, Yang Yi was reluctant to say goodbye.

“How come you think so? Remember, I still want to see your wedding. I will be back if there is a chance. As for you, keep following your master and keep working hard on your cultivation, okay?” Ye Futian smiled at her but he knew that it was less likely for him to come back again. As a small city in Barren State, Yunyue City was just an interlude in his life.

His target was the Zhongzhou City, the most talent-intensive place of Barren State.

“It’s not a lie, right?” Yang Yi showed her suspicion. Her ponytail looked very cute.

“Do I look like a liar?” Ye Futian rubbed her hair lightly and laughed.

“It’s a deal then.” Yang Yi reached out her pinkie.

“Deal!” Ye Futian also reached out his finger. Yang Yi was finally convinced. Yang Ting witnessed their deal with a smile. He knew that Ye Futian was just comforting Yang Ting. This city was too small for Ye Futian to show his talent.

“Take care.” Yang Ting made a brief farewell. Ye Futian had done too much for him and his sister. He could only keep that gratitude in his heart. They met each other by chance and said to take care of each other, but Ye Futian was always the one to take care of others.

“Take care.” Ye Futian patted Yang Ting’s shoulder lightly. On the Black Wind Eagle’s back, Ye Futian turned to the Wang Family, folded his hands and said goodbye.

The head of the Wang Family also folded his hands and said, “Hope to hear your name one day.”

“Grandpa, goodbye,” said Wang Yuqing. Then the line of figures set out on their journey.

In the sky, Jiang Nan of the Starry School glanced at Ye Futian in the near distance and smiled at Wang Yuqing. “Your grandpa seemly thinks very highly of him.”

“My grandpa just doesn’t know the strength of the Top Three Schools. It’s not surprising that he said those words,” Wang Yuqing responded.

The head of her family claimed that he hoped to hear Ye Futian’s name in Yunyue City again. If Ye Futian’s name was heard here one day, it meant that he would have stirred the entire east Barren State. Obviously, by saying that, Wang Yuqing’s grandpa hailed Ye Futian’s potential very much.

“Yes.” Jiang Nan nodded with a smile and looked in the distance.

Standing beside Ye Futian, another disciple of the Starry School noticed the Black Wind Eagle. He asked, “Your eagle flies really fast. Is there anything special about it?”

“Nothing special. Every time it becomes slow, I just whip it. That’s why it flies so fast,” Ye Futian joked. The Black Wind Eagle rolled its eyes and waved its wings violently. It kept speeding up. Ye Futian looked down at his eagle in amazement. Was it provoked?

That man beside Ye Futian was also surprised. From its appearance, the Black Wind Eagle looked more like a roc. Then he quickly denied it. Black Wind Eagle was just an eagle. Demon beasts were classified by their talents. Eagles would never surpass rocs.

…

Evil Dragon Zone was a vast habitat of many kinds of demon beasts. The periphery was a forest where cultivators came to hunt beasts for riding. The famous Evil Dragon Zone was the central area of the forest. It was where the evil dragon lived. Many cultivators who came here had been killed by the evil dragon. That was how this place was named.

Arriving at the periphery, Ye Futian’s group found that there were many people in the sky heading toward the forest.

“Is it dangerous for us to stay here?” Somebody in the sky showed his concern. People flying in this area would very easily be heeded by demon beasts here and become their prey.

“Don’t worry. The Top Three Schools have removed all the obstacles. This place is for training now. The Evil Dragon Zone might have been segregated from here. It’ll be less threatening in the future,” somebody assured the concerned one.

“The Top Three Schools’ people have been here for a long time. Is it because the Dragon Grass has grown ripe?”

“Not yet. It is said that a strong foreign cultivator wants to take the Dragon Grass away regardless of the Top Three Schools’ prohibitions. So the Top Three Schools called up many strong cultivators to come.”

“Who is the bold guy?”

“I don’t know. When we arrive, you will see. The Top Three Schools have been competing with each other all the time. Now there is a foreign cultivator and the evil dragon. We will see a wonderful show!”

Ye Futian’s group heard the conversations. They kept heading forward. Groups of cultivators constantly came. They could see demon beasts in the forest from time to time. Sometimes, there would be some battles, but they never stopped, heading all the way to the hinterland of the Demon Forest.

After a long while, they finally set foot in the central region. Various figures had arrived at the mountain area. Wang Yuqing looked toward a direction and said, “There they are.”

They went straight toward that direction. It was a hillside where many people were already there, including a lot of young disciples from the Starry School.

The Top Three Schools had many disciples. Those disciples who had visited the Wang Family on their way were the ones Wang Yuqing was familiar with. Those she was unfamiliar with came here directly.

“Master Yun,” they called a senior in the distance. That senior turned to them and nodded slightly. He didn’t recognize some of these young men. But since they called him Master Yun, he guessed they must be students from the Starry School.

“Jiang Nan, you have been to the Wang Family. Why are there some new faces?” At this time, an enchanting woman of about 25 or 26 years old noticed Ye Futian’s group.

“The youth of the Wang Family would like to come for broadening their horizon. So we came together,” said Jiang Nan.

“So you even begin to take care of her family.” The woman smiled and looked at Wang Yuqing and Jiang Nan meaningfully.

“Li Man, you are really talkative.” Wang Yuqing responded coldly.

“Little brother, are you twenty now? This is a dangerous place. Do you need me to take care of you?” Li Man looked at Ye Futian and giggled. This woman was a little different from others. She had a perfect figure. Though not as beautiful as Wang Yuqing, her every move was full of charm. She was even more attractive.

“I’m not that young.” Ye Futian was a bit annoyed… He was being flirted with.

“What a pretty boy!” Li Man exclaimed with a smile. Ye Futian was speechless. This was always a good-looking man’s trouble.

“Li Man, can’t you just be serious?” grumbled a young man beside her.

“It’s none of your business,” Li Man responded coldly.

That young man glared at Ye Futian and scolded, “This is our trial. Why would those outsiders be here? You’d better ask them to behave themselves.”

“I’ll be with them,” said Wang Yuqing lightly.

Ye Futian became more morose. He just took all the blame at once. Relations between people could be very complex.

Li Man was a charming woman. Seeing Li Man flirting with him, the youth scolded immediately. He seemly had a crush on her. What a shame! She was flirtatious while he was serious. It might be difficult for them to be together.

Looking at the distance, Ye Futian found that there were many people on other mountains. There was an extremely high mountain before them. Various demon beasts hovered at the slope. It looked like a confrontation between man and beast.

A scary demon aura pervaded the huge mountain. Many visitors were terrified at the scene. Only the Top Three Schools dared to blockade this place.

If the Top Three Schools were not here, they would not have come at all. That evil dragon was in the cave. Obviously, it also knew that it was besieged.

Ye Futian looked around and saw there was an isolated peak in the distance towering into the sky. It looked quite lonely. At the top of it, there was a figure sitting with his legs crossed and meditating.

The figure in white sat silently as if he was a part of the hill already. He had a handsome face. Sitting there quietly made him look like a sage.

“Is he the one coming for the Dragon Grass?” Jiang Nan asked, looking at the hill’s top.

“Yes.” Master Yun nodded.

“Even your strength is not enough to handle him?” Jiang Nan was amazed.

The old man shook his head and said, “This man is extremely talented. His strength is much stronger. No wardens of the Top Three Schools could defeat him, needless to say me. Otherwise, there won’t be so many people of the Top Three Schools gathering here.”

Jiang Nan nodded slightly. Looking at that figure, Wang Yuqing couldn’t help exclaim, “What an extraordinary temperament he has!”

“Master Yun, is there any chance that he could join our Starry School?” Li Man stared at that figure and asked. What a gorgeous man! Sitting at the hill’s top alone, he looked so charismatic. He even dared to steal from them. That was so hot!

People around her rolled their eyes. This woman was captivated again. But that was normal for Li Man.

“Generally, cultivators like him think things in a different way. He has such strength and talent. It’s not necessary for him to join any groups. We have nothing to teach him either,” Master Yun explained.

“What a pity!” Li Man murmured gloomily. She looked at people around and quipped, “Why don’t you have that kind of temperament?”

Seeing Ye Futian, her eyes brightened. “You are as handsome as him, but your temperament is weaker. It’s okay. You are so young. I can train you.”

Ye Futian became totally speechless.

He was not angry though. If it were others, he would take it amiss. But as his third senior brother, Gu Dongliu was always handsome like this.

As he had expected before, the one at the top of the hill was exactly the Cottage’s third disciple, Gu Dongliu. He came to the Barren State for training and now he was here at the Evil Dragon Zone.

Naturally, Ye Futian wouldn’t admit that he knew the robber in such a circumstance. His third senior brother was going to grab the Top Three Schools’ heirloom. Ye Futian wouldn’t recognize his senior brother at this moment. He was not that stupid.

Chapter 422: Fight for It

Ye Futian’s eyes later focused on another hill. There, an icy glare swept towards him. It was Shang Hai from the Yunyue Merchant Union.

Shang Hai clenched his fists. His eyes were extremely cold and filled with murderous intent. After the battle of the top four forces, he’d been neglected by his family. His status had plummeted. During this time, his cousin Shang Yunfeng returned. He begged his uncle to come out and practice with Shang Yunfeng. They had been close when they were young. Thus, Shang Yunfeng took him along. He prepared to leave his family forever and follow his cousin to the Divine Sky City. Even if he wasn’t talented enough to enter the Top Three Schools, he would still rather make a living in the Divine Sky City instead of home. He knew his grandfather didn’t like him anymore. He wouldn’t have his previous status.

“What are you looking at?” an older youth beside Shang Hai asked. Following his gaze, he looked at Ye Futian’s location. “Those are from the Starry School. Wang Yuqing from the Wang Family is cultivating there. You must have met them before.”

“The people beside Wang Yuqing are Ye Futian’s group,” Shang Hai said coldly.

Shang Yunfeng’s eyes flashed as he scanned Ye Futian’s group. His expression was calm. After returning, he’d heard that his family had been defeated miserably in the battle. He was curious. It seemed that the Yunyue City still had some talented people.

“He’s following Wang Yuqing. It seems that he wants to use Wang Yuqing to enter the Starry School. But the Top Three Schools isn’t that easy to get into. Wang Yuqing is an average disciple. She isn’t that powerful,” Shang Yunfeng said. “Since he’s here, I can help you kill him when the chance comes. I can take revenge for you.”

“He’s with the Starry School. Will that cause trouble?” Shang Hai asked.

“He’s not a disciple. There’s nothing troublesome,” Shang Yunfeng said calmly. The Top Three Schools had a special status in the eastern Barren State. What was wrong with killing an unimportant figure?

Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian’s group also noticed Shang Yunfeng and Shang Hai. Wang Yuqing told Ye Futian, “That’s Shang Yunfeng from the Yunyue Merchant Union. He’s from the Blazing Sun School.”

“Oh.” Ye Futian nodded and looked away from Shang Yunfeng. Clearly, he didn’t care. As for Shang Hai, his eyes were extremely sharp. He couldn’t hide the murderous intent and kept staring.

Ye Futian coolly gazed at Shang Hai and looked to the Beast Mountain. “What kind of herb is the dragon protecting that the top three forces have come?”

“The Dragon Grass is born with a dragon and needs to be nurtured with dragon blood,” Wang Yuqing said. “Filled with the essence of nature, this grass is extremely fragile. Only a dragon can grow it. Thus, the Top Three Schools never touched the dragon. They just guard it so others can’t take it.”

“What is it used for?” Ye Futian asked. Since his third senior brother wanted it, it must be beneficial towards his cultivation.

“It can raise a dragon’s wisdom. For cultivators, it can strengthen one’s spiritual energy. For powerful Nobles, not only does it raise their spiritual energy, it can also increase their perception of Spiritual Qi.”

“In other words, if a low-level sorcerer uses Dragon Grass, they can possibly break into the next level? And a high-level cultivator increases their perception, so they can also enter the next level?” Ye Futian asked.

“You can say that.” Wang Yuqing nodded. “In addition, if the Dragon Grass is matured, the demons that guard here can benefit too.”

Ye Futian gazed at the countless demon beasts on the mountain before him. As demons became higher level, their intelligence would increase too. Noble demons could even speak in human tongue.

The Dragon Grass could raise their intelligence. No wonder it created such a crazy situation.

“So what will we do now?” Ye Futian asked.

“Wait. The promised day is tomorrow. The strong cultivators of the Top Three Schools should arrive soon,” Wang Yuqing said. Ye Futian nodded and stopped asking. He just waited quietly.

Cultivators not from the Top Three Schools were waiting too. They mostly came today to watch and see if they could benefit in some way. The Top Three Schools cared about the herb. But to the other people, even the corpses of the demons were precious. Of course, some wanted to capture a beast to ride too.

Four hours later, more strong cultivators descended. Their auras were terrifying. They looked around and landed directly somewhere. The strong cultivators of the Blazing Sun School had arrived soon.

After, the strong cultivators from the other schools arrived too and landed in their respective camps.

“Mu Shi and Senior Brother Tan are here.”

The people of the Starry School were surprised. Of the two at the head of the incoming group, one was older and one was younger. The older was Master Mu, a famous elder at the Starry School.

The younger wore a headpiece. His aura was extraordinary. This was Tan Zhong, a popular genius disciple of the school. Today, he came with Master Mu to the Dragon Zone. It seemed that the Starry School would definitely get the Dragon Grass.

Of course, the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School were powerful too. Clearly, this fight would be intense.

“Him?” Tan Zhong asked, looking up at Gu Dongliu on the lonely mountain.

“Yes.” Master Yun nodded.

Tan Zhong gazed up and said loudly, “The Dragon Grass has long been discovered and protected by the Top Three Schools. No matter who you are, please leave now and everything will be alright.”

There was barely anybody in the eastern Barren State who dared to anger the Top Three Schools.

On the mountain, Gu Dongliu opened his dark and deep eyes. He looked at the Starry School and asked, “Did the Top Three Schools plant it?”

Tan Zhong furrowed his brows. Someone from the Blazing Sun School said, “No, but we’ve protected it for many days. It naturally belongs to us.”

“It grew naturally and you haven’t taken it yet. Why does it belong to you? According to your logic, if I stand guard outside the Top Three Schools for many days, will the school become mine?” Gu Dongliu asked the Blazing Sun School. His voice was emotionless. He was just stating facts.

The people of the Top Three Schools frowned and their expressions turned cold. It seemed that this man was set on stealing the herb.

“This has nothing to do with you,” Tan Zhong said coldly. “If you don’t leave, be prepared for the consequences.

Gu Dongliu looked away from the Top Three Schools.

At this time, there was suddenly a dragon’s roar from the mountain’s peak. It shook the sky. A burst of demonic aura surged forth. Everyone saw a huge dragon in the sky. Its cold eyes gazed at them.

It was a black demon dragon while its large body shone with dark gold light. It looked even more menacing and terrible. Its eyes were filled with aggressive light. The Dragon Grass was close to maturing now and these damn human cultivators wanted to steal it. They were horrible.

“There seems to be a cave there.” Ye Futian looked at the dragon. It had come from inside the mountain.

“If anyone takes my Dragon Grass, I will destroy it.” This dragon actually spoke in the human tongue. Its voice was frigid and vaguely threatening. It knew what the humans wanted so it threatened them with it.”

“It’s yours if we don’t take it. Even if you destroy it when we take it, we can still take your corpse away. How should we choose?” a strong cultivator said coldly as he looked at the dragon. “You have committed sins. If you leave voluntarily and scram off to the demon region, we can spare your life.”

With that, strong cultivators stepped into the air and rose up to the mountain’s peak. Someone looked at Gu Dongliu and asked coldly, “Are you sure you’re not going scram?”

Gu Dongliu opened his eyes and looked coolly at the other. He remained sitting there, unmoved.

“Take care of him first,” someone said.

Then there was a sun in the air. An elder from the Blazing Sun School wielded a sun sword. Sunlight splashed down and reflected on the sword. It sliced down on Gu Dongliu. Fiery sword light appeared in the air, burning everything.

The attack was extremely fast. Gu Dongliu stood up at some point and stepped forward. His feet glowed brilliantly and his body flashed like lightning, immediately teleporting.

The sword fell down, splitting the mountain. The entire peak burned with flames from that crack, but Gu Dongliu still stood quietly to the side.

The strong cultivator with the sword sun kept striking. This time, beams of sunlight pierced through the sky, sealing that space.

Gu Dongliu’s body transformed into afterimages. His feet shone brightly and his footsteps were thunderous. He streaked among the sunlight and his techniques were amazing.

“Such precise steps,” someone praised. Ye Futian knew that it was their teacher’s Thunder Shadow Steps. He was also cultivating it.

The Blazing Sun School’s cultivator kept attacking, but Gu Dongliu just dodged instead of fighting back. Seeing this, the strong cultivator frowned. “His body is very agile. It’s very hard to kill him if he dodges. We can’t waste more time. Each school send one person to stop him and then kill him.”

The Top Three Schools had no objections. A strong cultivator walked out from each school and faced Gu Dongliu. The others kept pressing up towards the mountain.

“We will attack from the middle,” a Noble from the Starry School said.

The strong cultivators had to deal with the dragon without completely angering it. Otherwise, it would destroy the Dragon Grass and everything would have been in vain.

“Follow closely,” Jiang Nan said. Then Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian’s group walked forward, running straight for the demon beasts in the mountain. The other disciples of the other two schools also prepared to enter the middle of the mountain. The Dragon Grass was growing there!

Chapter 423: Dragon Residency

The strong cultivators of the Top Three Schools led the way to the mountain. Descending from above, there was a horrible demonic aura. Various demons guarded the cave, roaring at the people. There were many demon kings present, commanding the demons.

“Kill. Other than the Dragon Grass, anything you take is yours,” someone from the Starry School said. Demons grouped in this mountain and there were demon kings guarding it. There was also a horrible dragon close to the Sage Plane. There must be some precious items inside.

As soon as he spoke, there were Noble cultivators killing towards the Noble demon kings. Spiritual Qi went crazy and spells swept through the sky.

Strong cultivators from the Top Three Schools all started attacking from different places.

“I’ve warned you of the dangers before. Since you wanted to come see, you must be responsible for your own consequences. I am busy and can’t take care of you,” Wang Yuqing told Ye Futian’s group. “Of course, you can leave before it’s too late.” With that, she walked forward, going to kill the demons on the slope with the Starry School cultivators.

Beside Ye Futian, the Black Wind Eagle flapped its wings, wanting to try. Ye Futian gazed at it. “Calm down. It’s not your time to show off yet.”

At Ye Futian’s scolding, the Black Wind Eagle lowered its head sadly. It looked dejected.

“Yu Sheng, Wuchen, Loulan, come with me to hunt some upper-Arcana demons. I want live ones,” Ye Futian murmured. The others nodded. They started walking in the air towards the slope. They released their auras. Loulan Xue’s cultivation was the highest. She was in the mid-Arcana Plane.

Back when Ye Futian’s group had just entered the Dharma Plane and entered the Loulan Relic, Loulan Xue had already been at the peak of the Dharma Plane. She was able to fight with Li Daoyun and get the Sage Book from the Empress. Her cultivation obviously wouldn’t be lower.

Now, the Sage Book was already part of her dharma.

Before them, Wang Yuqing was already fighting on the mountain. She killed a demon and looked back at Ye Futian’s group. They weren’t weak, but their planes were a bit too low. It was still dangerous. She’d thought that Ye Futian’s group would give up.

Boom. An icy arrow shot towards Ye Futian’s group. Yu Sheng stepped forward and punched. The icy arrow instantly shattered. Then a snowy white ice wolf pounced towards them. The coldness froze the air into frost. This demon wolf was in the mid-Arcana Plane. Seeing that Ye Futian’s group was weaker, it dared to come over.

“Don’t keep those under the upper-Arcana Plane,” Ye Futian said. Yu Sheng punched and broke the ice wolf’s claws with brute force. Then he ripped its head apart.

The group advanced and continuously killed demons. When they stepped onto the mountain, they heard many booms. A horrible stone ape was striding over. It was huge with horrible strength. Using its aggressive power, it slapped towards Ye Futian’s group with a terrifying pressure.

Demons were good with Spiritual Qi and knew how to cultivate. They had inherited skills and knew some spells. The more intelligent the demon, the more powerful they were. When they reached the level of demon kings, they could learn human spells.

Yu Sheng’s body glowed with golden light. Demonic intent wrapped around. The Demonic Tripod appeared in his hands. It enlarged and he slammed it towards the stone ape.

Boom. With the loud sound, the stone ape’s arm shook and forced Yu Sheng away with the Demonic Tripod. After all, he was in the lower-Arcana Plane. The difference in plane was too much. He was naturally weaker here.

Loulan Xue gripped her icy scepter and walked forward. Endless snow flew towards the stone ape. The iciness covered it immediately, making it into a huge statue-like thing. At the same time, Ye Futian’s golden vines snaked up, tying around the stone ape.

The stone ape was extremely violent. It raised a hand and grabbed them. His harsh eyes were filled with wildness.

“Blind one of its eyes,” Ye Futian said coldly. This demon was too wild.

Loulan Xue released her dharma. A snowy mountain appeared behind her as if there was a mysterious apparition. She reached out her icy scepter. Endless icy intent descended, covering the surroundings in white frost. Ye Futian felt his movements slow. Thankfully, this spell was targeted at the stone ape. It didn’t affect him that much.

The stone ape’s body turned white. Its arm slowed down.

Then Ye Futian flashed. He unsheathed a soft sword. Its light was cold and reflected in the stone ape’s eyes. The stone ape grabbed at the sword in its eyes. It thought that it grabbed it, but then felt something extremely dangerous. With a squelch, blood flowed out and its vision blurred.

There was a shocking roar. The stone ape grasped its eyes, its hands dyed red.

Icy intent was still descending on him while golden vines wrapped around its neck. It roared and moved its hands. But it saw a youth with a sharp sword close to him. The sword light pressed down. Above its head, there was someone with a Demonic Tripod that could fall down at any time.

“Submit or die,” Ye Futian said coldly. After that, his eyes turned very strange. His orbs were like a boundless abyss. They seemed to transform into a bottomless storm that people would drown inside. The stone ape felt its spiritual intent get swept into that storm. A hallucination appeared in its mind. Ye Futian’s figure seemed to become extremely huge before it.

Its burly body trembled. It wanted to fight back, but it felt an intent snake into his mind. It told him that if it fought back, he would die.

The stone ape lowered its head. It knew that it would definitely die if it fought back. A spiritual mark was planted in its mind. It knew then that its life didn’t belong to itself anymore.

“Lay down,” Ye Futian ordered. The stone ape immediately followed the order.

Loulan Xue had a strange expression. Ye Futian was a beast trainer too? He hadn’t displayed that kind of talent before.

Even Ye Wuchen didn’t know this. It was his first time seeing Ye Futian train a beast.

The Black Wind Eagle flew wildly before hem, crashing against other demon beasts. Its opened wings covered the sky, almost purposely blocking the scene. They were in the back. Everyone else was going towards the middle of the mountain. No one would notice.

“Let’s go.” Ye Futian continued staying in the back and looked for upper-Arcana Plane demons.

Ye Wuchen and Loulan Xue vaguely understood Ye Futian’s plan. It seemed that Ye Futian wanted the Dragon Grass too. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be controlling demon beasts here. They were both lower in number and cultivation plane. If they really wanted to get the Dragon Grass, they wouldn’t be able to fight at all. Clearly, Ye Futian was planning.

He clearly had thoughts. He had the same opinion as Gu Dongliu. He didn’t care about the Top Three Schools. Since this herb was natural and so valuable, why wouldn’t he fight for it if he had the chance?

The Dragon Grass fight might not have anything to do with them, but no one knew about the future. It was better to be prepared. Even if they couldn’t use the beasts, it was still protection. Shang Hai really wanted to kill him and he had the Blazing Sun School with him.

The strong cultivators of the Top Three Schools continued forward. Ye Futian’s group purposely hung back. Many demon beasts pounced and all who were below the Arcana Plane were killed immediately.

Their planes weren’t high, but they worked together seamlessly. Even demons in the upper-Arcana Plane were quickly taken. Gradually, demons were controlled by Ye Futian. Some lay down while others remained in the demons beasts, but they didn’t chase the Top Three Schools.

Boom. A huge explosion came from the mountain. Ye Futian’s group looked up. They saw that the mountain had been exploded by the Noble figure. The mountain was actually hollow.

Some Noble figures flashed and rushed inside. There were many horrifying beastly roars. Some Nobles were actually blown out. Some were even covered in blood and had menacing claw marks on their bodies. They were greatly injured.

“Be careful!” someone roared. Various horrible demon kings walked out of the mountain. They gazed coldly at the crowd and guarded the place.

“Enter! It’s empty!” someone said. Everyone agreed and their bodies glowed. They crashed directly toward the mountain. Countless figures passed into the mountain.

Boom, boom, boom… The stone cracked open continuously as people from the Top Three Schools entered the mountain.

Ye Futian’s group was behind them. After the Starry School opened up the mountain and entered, they quickly entered as well.

It was indeed empty inside. The vast space was brilliant and filled with Spiritual Qi. The glow lit up the entire mountain.

Ye Futian looked down and saw piles of spiritual stones. There were also rare gems and ritual implements like small hills.

“This…” Ye Futian was quite speechless. This was an entire dragon residence and it was so opulent. The dragon was too rich.

“It’s rumored that dragons are greedy and like treasures. Seems to be true,” someone said coldly. They looked up. There was a dazzling jade stone with an herb growing. It snaked upwards in a dragon-shape and shone like a rainbow. The Spiritual Qi around it was extremely thick.

“Dragon Grass.” Everyone looked there. There were a few horrible demons guarding it!

Chapter 424: Start Fighting

Ye Futian scanned the Dragon Grass and instantly realized that it had nothing to do with him for now. The Top Three Schools were fighting at the top of the mountain. The strong cultivators who’d rushed in were busy with each other. In addition, there were the powerful demon kings guarding the Dragon Grass. Even though it was tempting, going now would be suicide.

He scanned the piles of treasures on the bottom, lighting up the mountain. His eyes brightened. Body flashing, he went downward. Many others had noticed this too. Disciples from the Top Three Schools went down to the treasures. Some had already started sweeping through.

Activating his Freedom Meditation, Ye Futian’s eyes turned brilliant. He gazed downward and his vision cleared. His senses sharpened. Instantly, different colors entered his eyes. All the treasures contained powerful Spiritual Qi.

“What’s that?” Ye Futian looked in the corner. There was a ring there. It shone faintly with purple light, along with a tinge of gold. It was extremely beautiful, but it looked more like jewelry so no one noticed it. Most were going after ritual implements and other treasures.

Spiritual Qi seeped out. Ye Futian felt that this gem was quite special. However, his spiritual energy reached an obstacle. Something like a seal was stopping him from entering.

A strand of emperor’s intent reached out, attacking that seal and erasing it. As if something had shattered, Ye Futian’s spiritual energy actually entered a unique space. There were many spiritual stones inside, as well as spell scrolls and other gems.

Ye Futian’s body flashed. He picked up the ring. He obviously knew what this was.

This gem contained spatial power. These kinds were very rare. A usual alchemist couldn’t make it. It also required special material. The owner of this ring must be a powerful figure of high status. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have something like it. But the ring was in this dragon residence. This meant that the dragon had probably killed the ring’s owner.

This dragon had so many treasures but didn’t even look at them. This fetish was a bit…

As for the ritual implements, Ye Futian didn’t care. They had a bunch of good ritual implements. With this ring, they wouldn’t have to burden the Black Wind Eagle anymore either. It was useful.

There were still many demons coming over. Outside the dragon residence, the demons kept rushing over. Their numbers grew.

The disciples of the Top Three Schools went to meet them while Ye Futian’s group stayed in the back. With the others there, they naturally didn’t have to do anything.

Battles had erupted in the air around the Dragon Grass too. The Nobles clashed with the demons protecting the herb. The world shook and the auras in the place went wild.

“You really know how to hide. You keep in the back and pick up all the treasures,” someone from the Starry School said, gazing at Ye Futian’s group.

“They’re really here just to watch,” Jiang Nan said coolly.

“Our plane is too low and we can’t really help,” Ye Futian said, smiling without minding.

Wang Yuqing didn’t say anything. She hadn’t expected Ye Futian to do anything and just brought him here to watch.

“Little brother, do you want to come with me?” Li Man grinned at Ye Futian.

“No need.” Ye Futian shook his head. Li Man smiled and went for some demons.

But then, a few figures came towards Ye Futian’s group. They were Shang Yunfeng and Shang Hai. The dragon residency was very chaotic now. No one would notice things here.

“I heard that you were very powerful during the battle of the top four,” Shang Yunfeng said to them.

Ye Futian glanced at Shang Hai. “Young Master Shang, where’s the arrogance you had at the White Jade Tower? Now you’re using a senior brother to deal with me?”

Shang Hai’s expression was uncomfortable. He knew this wasn’t honorable. Ye Futian was both younger than him and had a lower cultivation. He and Shang Qing had been so aggressive at the White Jade Tower. Now, he was using his cousin to kill Ye Futian. It was indeed embarrassing.

Of course, Shang Hai wouldn’t admit it. He said coldly, “Why did you come here? It’s suicide.”

Ye Futian smiled at Shang Yunfeng and Shang Hai. Then he said to his people, “Retreat.”

He moved back as soon as he spoke, preparing to retreat out of the mountain.

“You want to go?” Shang Yunfeng smirked. His body flashed and turned into an extremely fast shadow.

Whoosh… Sword light cut across to Shang Yunfeng like lightning. There was a blur in his eyes. Shang Yunfeng scoffed. He raised his hand towards the sword light, but then he felt danger. The sword was faster than what he saw and misled him. There was a flash of gold and he was instantly bathed in golden light. The sword cut near his eyes, but the armor stopped it. However, his head still shook and his steps slowed. His expression turned uncomfortable.

The swordsmanship was so strange. The cultivation was much lower, but he’d almost gotten hit. The eyes were a cultivator’s weakest part. Even a lower-Arcana Plane sword that hit his eyes could blind him.

Shang Yunfeng vaguely figured out how these people could succeed in the battle of the top four. This mere sword was incredible.

Boom. There was a horrible golden flash that bathed Shang Yunfeng. He was like a statue of gold. He stepped out again like a golden bolt of lightning going after Ye Futian with extreme speed.

Yu Sheng threw the Demonic Tripod down at Shang Yunfeng. The power was shocking, but Shang Yunfeng’s golden body crashed against it. There was a horrible shake. Yu Sheng and the Demonic Tripod were forced away.

Shang Yunfeng grabbed the air. Instantly, horrible pressure fell upon them. The gold windstorm vaguely turned into a golden tripod. It spun wildly and pressed down.

Yu Sheng’s Demonic Tripod enlarged and he pushed it against the incoming golden tripod. His body shook violently again. Shang Yunfeng was getting closer.

Ye Futian threw out a spell scroll. Instantly, horrible thunder and lightning destroyed everything. It hit Shang Yunfeng directly, numbing his nerves. He shook and his steps stopped involuntarily. Ye Futian’s group continued retreating to a cave.

“Go.” Ye Futian glanced at Shang Yunfeng. The group retreated and Shang Yunfeng didn’t pursue them. He looked up at the Dragon Grass.

The Dragon Grass was dazzling. The strong cultivators from the Top Three Schools couldn’t defeat the demons and were still intensely at war. At the mountaintop, they saw the dragon there. The Top Three Schools didn’t hurry. Their people were below them. As long as they could stop the dragon, they could still get the Dragon Grass.

Ye Futian was outside the mountain. Demon beasts rushed into the dragon residence and also at him. His eyes turned demonic. He continuously controlled them and made them act as his eyes.

“What will we do now?” Ye Wuchen asked.

“Wait. It’s okay if there’s no chance. If there’s a chance, I’ll go steal the Dragon Grass while you all protect me. I need to control more demons now.” Ye Futian continued to control demons. This time, it wasn’t only those in the upper-Arcana Plane. He controlled those from other planes too.

The strong cultivators here were very patient. Ye Futian was patient too. He stayed outside, waiting for a chance.

The battle inside continued. Many demons were killed while some strong cultivators were injured. The fight between the demon kings and Noble figures were even worse.

As time passed, the Dragon Grass on the gem-like rock glowed even more brilliantly. In the sky, sunlight passed through everything to fall upon the Dragon Grass. Spiritual Qi went wild. As if they would be swallowed, they rushed towards the Dragon Grass.

Dazzling light lit up the entire sky.

“The Dragon Grass is mature.” The eyes of the people from the Top Three Schools flashed. Icy spells descended and sealed the earth. The entire mountain seemed to be buried by spells. The huge dragon was frozen too. Its movements slowed.

Vines covering the sky wrapped around the dragon. But then it roared and everything shattered. The mountains shook for it.

It turned and entered the mountain. Its huge eyes stared at the Dragon Grass, wanting to eat it now.

A golden rope instantly wrapped around its huge body. Then it transformed into extremely sharp blades, slicing at its skin. The scales broke and it started bleeding.

“Come back,” an icy voice said. The dragon was pulled back roughly. It roared in anger and the mountain rumbled. Stones fell towards the dragon residence.

“If you dare do anything, I’ll destroy it all.” The dragon looked furiously at the human cultivators. The mountain was still shaking as he spoke. The rumbles went on endlessly. It seemed that if he wanted, he could destroy this entire mountain and bury the Dragon Grass.

“Bastard.” The rope was sharper than knives, but the dragon broke it apart. The people in the sky didn’t dare move.

Inside the mountain, everyone had gone for the Dragon Grass. It was mature now, so there were no more worries. They would get it.

Ye Futian saw it all through the demons he controlled, but he still didn’t act recklessly. He was waiting for the demons and Top Three Schools disciples to clash violently.

Many beasts flew towards Ye Futian’s direction, covering the sky.

Ye Futian took out a spell treasure from his bag. It was a silver cape. Putting it on, the cape covered his body. At the same time, a strange power ran over him. It changed his temperament, even changing his features.

“It’s your time to show off,” Ye Futian said, patting the Black Wind Eagle’s head.
