Chapter 1941: Surrounded

“Save me!” Jun Qiuyan screamed as he saw the silhouettes who arrived. However, his voice was rather hoarse, so there was no way his plea for help could have traveled such a great difference. However, they certainly heard him. Their divine consciousness shrouded the entire area, so, of course, they would be able to hear his voice.

The silhouettes emitted a fearsome aura of the Great Path. Many among them had a murderous intent in their eyes. The Jun Family members were outraged when they heard the news of Jun Qiuyan being crippled. Furthermore, the practitioners from the Jun Family who entered the Eastern Deity Island were nearly annihilated.

Now, the very fact that Ye Futian was walking out of the Eastern Deity Island with the crippled Jun Qiuyan in tow was a form of humiliation to the Jun Family.

However, Ye Futian turned his gaze towards the majestic army of silhouettes and said, “While I was in the Eastern Deity Island, Jun Qiuyan led many virtuosos in an attempt to kill me. I have thus crippled his cultivation as punishment. I am willing to spare his life if you all are willing to let this matter end right here.”

As he finished speaking, he pushed Jun Qiuyan’s body away from him. A Renhuang stepped out and caught Jun Qiuyan, who was being pushed outwards by an invisible force. Then, with the Renhuang supporting him, they returned to the crowd of Jun Family virtuosos.

The people from a distance who were onlooking had some thoughts in their minds. It seemed like the Dongyuan Pavilion Master wanted to make peace, but how could the other party agree?

Since he had released Jun Qiuyan, the Jun Family no longer had anything to be worried about and could deal with him straight on.

However, he probably did not have any other choice but to do what he did.

A top-tier faction of the Penglai Continent had led an army over here, ready to fight him. There were thus countless virtuosos in the Penglai Deity Region. Apart from the raw strength of the family, they were also greatly influential; they had influence and power even in the Penglai Deity Region.

“Destroy his cultivation, but don’t let him die yet.” When Jun Qiuyan returned to his family, his eyes suddenly had a terrifying look, and they carried an incomparably strong hatred. Ye Futian had utterly ruined his life.

To have one’s cultivation stripped was worse than death. He also wanted Ye Futian to experience this personally. Thus, he wanted Ye Futian to live while being crippled and take his time to torture him.

Ye Futian glanced at Jun Qiuyan with a bland expression. It seemed that Jun Qiuyan did not even have a tinge of gratitude in him.

“Are you going to follow us? Do you want us to force you?” an elderly man asked aloud as he walked out from the crowd. He was an elder of the Jun Family and was at the pinnacle of the eighth level of cultivation. The level-eight virtuoso who abandoned Jun Qiuyan behind on the Eastern Deity Island and fled alone stood beside him.

Hearing the other party speak, Ye Futian smiled a little. It was exactly like how he predicted. This matter could not be resolved peacefully. The Jun Family would not give up and would deal with him at all costs.

“Since that’s the case, do what you want then,” Ye Futian said aloud. He was willing to let it go, not because he was afraid of the Jun Family Virtuosos but because he did not want to waste time on this matter. However, since they weren’t willing to let it go, then he could only fight.

Renhuangs stepped out one after another, their bodies emitting fearsome auras of the Great Path. The level-eight virtuoso who was on the Eastern Deity Island cautioned them, “Be careful. This person is powerful. He has the combat power of a high-level Renhuang.”

The Jun Family virtuosos had heard of this before. This ridiculously powerful low-level Renhuang, in fact, had the combat power of a high-level Renhuang. He single-handedly dove straight into an enemy of over a hundred Jun Family Renhuangs. He nearly annihilated the Jun Family virtuosos who had entered the Eastern Deity Island; only a few remained alive.

With a battle record like that, of course, no one would dare be careless. They were rather wary and did not get too close to Ye Futian. A storm of the Great Path gathered, and then from afar, they unleashed it toward Ye Futian. The terrifying attack spell descended from the heavens.

Wisps of Will of the Sword appeared around Ye Futian’s body, and they morphed into a sword screen, sealing the entire area. The attacks that descended on him were shattered directly. Once they even got close to this sword realm, they were instantly pulverized.

His eyes were as sharp as swords, and sweeping his glance across the majestic looking group of virtuosos, he spoke aloud, “So the Jun Family is set on going up against me?”

“Yes.”

From a distance away, a strong and sure voice echoed out. In the skies above, a silhouette traveled over. He emitted a powerful aura brimming with power that exerted immense pressure on the Great Path’s space that ye Futian was in. That was Jun Qiuyan’s father—Jun Xiaoyao. He came from where Shangguan Qiuye and the rest were at.

The virtuosos of the Shangguan Family followed closely behind. Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qiuye were both there. They stood at another place and said, “According to what I know, the dispute between both parties had always been started by Jun Qiuyan, beginning from the Penglai Deity Lake in the Penglai Deity Region. Many people could bear witness to it. Now, he is only getting his just desserts. Brother Xiaoyao need not pursue this matter anymore.”

Many people let out a shocked expression. That was the leader of the Shangguan Clan Shangguan Hong. His words directly represented the will of the Shangguan Clan. Did this mean that they wanted to participate in this too?

Jun Xiaoyao’s eyes were as cold as ice, and he turned them to look at Shangguan Hong. Last time he had not even sought revenge on the Shangguan Family. How dare they interfere with this too?

“Brother Shangguan, you really want chaos to descend on this world, eh?” Another voice echoed out. From another direction came another grand army of virtuosos. This time, they were virtuosos from the Yun Clan.

Many people felt a tremor in their hearts. Before this, many people had noticed that armies from the three top-tier factions of the Penglai Continent had arrived at the Penglai Deity Region. Now that Ye Futian had walked out of the Eastern Deity Island, as expected, the virtuosos from each faction appeared simultaneously.

The Shangguan Clan had always been subtly at odds with the Jun Family. On the other hand, the Yun Clan seemed to have allied with the Jun Family. Looking at the vast number of people that each faction had brought along, each of them must have considered things very carefully beforehand.

“Then does this matter also involve the Yun Clan?” Shangguan Hong asked. If he guessed correctly, everyone wanted to make use of the opportunity of this dispute to further their own agenda. Apart from slaying Ye Futian, it seemed that the Jun Family also wanted to join hands with the Yun Clan to deal with the Shangguan Clan.

Then again, he also had a very similar plan. He wanted to make use of the possibility that the Eastern Deity Island would be involved and deal with the Jun Family.

The situation at that moment was like an arrow that had already been strung; there was no going back. All that was left unknown was whether Shangguan Qiuye’s information was accurate and how much Ye Futian was worth to the Eastern Deity Island.

“Ye Liunian was extremely wanton in the Eastern Deity Island. He massacred without a second thought. He has the blood of countless practitioners on his hands. As a faction of the Penglai Continent, the Jun Family also suffered the loss of many Renhuangs, and even our nephew Jun Qiuyan had his cultivation crippled. Given this circumstance, you dare say this matter has nothing to do with the Yun Clan?” said Yun Mu, the leader of the Yun Clan. Beside him, Yun Zhe glanced at Ye Futian. He did not dare to provoke him on the Eastern Deity Island.

However, now that he had exited the Eastern Deity Island, no matter how talented he was, he was bound to die this time.

There were rumors about how Ye Futian had joined the Eastern Deity Island and was in their favor. However, it was just that. The two top-tier factions had dispatched large armies to slay Ye Futian; even if Ye Futian is in the Eastern Deity Island’s favor, how much were they willing to give up for him?

The Eastern Deity Island had hidden for countless years. It was not possible that they would declare war on the two top-tier factions of the Penglai Continent for the sake of one Ye Futian.

Using this opportunity, the Jun Family and Yun Clan would kill Ye Futian first, and then annihilate the Shangguan Clan.

On the Eastern Deity Island, Shangguan Qiuye was very brazen.

“Do you mean that the Yun Clan also wants to kill me?” Ye Futian asked Yun Mu after hearing what he had said.

Yun Mu glanced at Ye Futian and replied, “That will depend on Brother Xiaoyao’s decision.”

“I understand now.” Ye Futian nodded. “No matter if I was at the Penglai Deity Region or on the Eastern Deity Island, I never once provoked anyone. Jun Qiuyan thought too highly of himself and wanted me to follow him. When I rejected his offer, he was displeased with me, being the arrogant man that he is. On the Eastern Deity Island, I had also encountered a few people who provoked me, for example, the Jun Family virtuosos.”

“After that, they all died.”

Ye Futian’s words made all the virtuosos hesitate a moment.

After that, they all died?

What did that mean?

With the Jun Family and Yun Clan instigating this conflict, Ye Futian was hinting…

Hearing Ye Futian’s words, Shangguan Hong could not help but let out a short laugh. This man was interesting, and it sounded like he was very serious.

Jun Xiaoyao still stared at Ye Futian’s side without ordering anyone to take action. It seemed like he was waiting to see the Eastern Deity Island’s attitude on this matter.

The Eastern Deity Island was located on the Penglai Continent. While they had been isolated from the rest of the world for countless years, but they had never completely severed their connection. Every ten years, they would open themselves up, and from within, he could sense an extreme power emanating from the Eastern Deity Island.

It was just that he was unsure if they would stand up against the top-tier factions of the Penglai Continent for the sake of just one man, albeit a prodigy.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward and announced, “Today, whoever tries to stop the Jun Family from killing Ye Liunian would be declaring war on us. Kill him.”

As he ordered, an incomparably dominating might of the Great Path exploded out from the Renhuangs.

An elderly man stepped forward in midair and stopped above Ye Futian. He raised his palm and pressed it down. Instantly, the glow of a divine blade pierced through the heaven and earth. From the skies above, it shot down straight towards Ye Futian.

Another divine sword appeared in the air. A fearsome Will of the Sword was infused into the divine sword. Countless wisps of Will of the Sword swirled around the divine sword, and it shot towards the air. The two blades of light collided together, causing a destructive sword glow to explode out into the horizon from the heavens above.

When the battle broke out, silhouettes shot out from the entrance to the Eastern Deity Island. The Goddesses had an ethereal air about them, and the aura of the Great Path from them permeated the entire space.

A part of majestic Renhuangs appeared simultaneously, causing the surrounding virtuosos to hesitate a moment in a short while.

At this moment, Bai Mu walked out of the group. She looked at the Jun Family and Yun Clan. Beside her, there were a few people who were exuding an extremely fearsome aura, but she was nonetheless the leader. After all, Bai Mu already had the status of a goddess and could thus represent the will of the Eastern Deity Island.

“Does the Eastern Deity Island wish to interfere with the matters of the Penglai Continent?” Jun Xiaoyao looked in Bai Mu’s direction and said coldly. Standing high in the skies, his divine halo permeated the space. The might of a level-nine Renhuang exploded outwards, and the heavens and earth appeared to tremble in fear.

Under this immense pressure, everyone felt Jun Xiaoyao’s strength and determination. Even if the virtuosos of the Eastern Deity Island appeared, he still emitted his might of the Great Path. His adamant attitude was obvious.

This time, it was not just about the grudge between Ye Futian and Jun Qiuyan. It also determined if the Jun Family would become prosper or wither; it was a battle for the future of his clan, and it was the same for the Shangguan Clan.

“Pavilion Master Ye is a valuable guest of the Eastern Deity Island. Anyone who dares to touch him dies,” Bai Mu coldly said. The virtuosos behind her spread out. At the same time, from a distance away in the surrounding regions, came virtuosos from all directions one after another. Stepping through the air, they descended in this area. They emanated a terrifying aura and surrounded everyone!
