Chapter 1952: Kidnapped

Ye Futian took Zi Feng to the place where the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island resided. Upon seeing the two, the female Island Lord said calmly, “Are you ready to leave?”

Clearly, she had already guessed that Ye Futian was leaving. After the turmoil regarding the Jun family had been resolved, Ye Futian was basically in a state of retreat. Besides cultivation, he was concentrating on alchemy. Now that his cultivation had greatly improved, his temperament had also been transformed. The only reason he was here to see her. It could only be that he was preparing to leave.

“Yes, and we have come to say goodbye,” Ye Futian nodded.

“Very good.” The Island Lord nodded readily, not asking him to stay. She continued, “How about having Baimu take some people and escort you?”

Ye Futian was not sure of the other’s true intention. He had enjoyed many benefits on Eastern Deity Island. It would not be realistic for him to cut off all contact with Eastern Deity Island after leaving. It would be too ungrateful, and the Island Lord would probably hunt him down.

He swallowed the elixir, the divine tree was integrated into his body, and the divine flame was absorbed by him as well. He had inherited the alchemy art of the Supreme Deity Donglai, and enjoyed an unknown number of treasures in heaven and earth. Now he was about to kidnap a true phoenix from Eastern Deity Island.

“Don’t overthink it; it’s just to ensure your safety. It would be a small group because it doesn’t make sense to have more. I will pick the most outstanding ones,” said the Island Lord.

“With my current strength, the protection of the people from Eastern Deity Island won’t be necessary.” Ye Futian said, “Even if there are elders who are more powerful than me, it would not be by much. Moreover, I will not be staying put. If something comes up that cannot be solved, with the elders of Eastern Deity Island along, it will only complicate things.”

The Island Lord looked at Ye Futian and said, “You mean, you want to leave by yourself?”

Ye Futian looked at the other in the eyes. Clearly, she was still worried about him, but it was not unexpected—who wouldn’t?

“There are no outsiders here. I have already appointed you internally as the second Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island. If you surpass me in the future, you could inherit the position as the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island. Everything here that is mine can be considered to be yours as well,” said the female Island Lord.

“Mine?” Ye Futian blinked. Was he now the second Island Lord?

This woman was no joke; she was willing to give him the entire Eastern Deity Island.

Did this mean that all the goddesses of Eastern Deity Island were also his… As his thoughts turned to this, he immediately stopped himself. He viewed himself as a righteous gentleman.

“Mmm,” the female Island Lord nodded, “It’s all yours. If you can get to that day, even I have to obey your orders.”

Ye Futian looked at the stunningly beautiful and noble face in front of him, and his thoughts drifted to the unspeakable.

“Ahem…” Ye Futian looked at the Island Lord and said, “I hardly deserve such honor.”

“You have swallowed the elixir and the divine tree. You inherited everything from my ancestors. You are now the heir of Eastern Deity Island, and there is nothing wrong with passing the island to you one day,” the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island continued.

Ye Futian’s eyes flickered. Since the other had said so, then there was no need for him to remain coy.

He looked at the female Island Lord and said, “However, this has nothing to do with whether the people of Eastern Deity Island would follow me. Their following means little, unless…”

“Unless what?” the female Island Lord asked.

Ye Futian looked at her, seemed to want to say something more but stopped himself.

If accompanied by someone who was a top Renhuang, it would be much safer. Unless they get tangled up with some mighty figures, there would be little trouble.

“If you have anything to say, say it,” the female Island Lord said coldly. What was this guy thinking? Those roving eyes were making her very displeased.

“How about the Island Lord also go with me for a bit of air?” Ye Futian said weakly. Although he was already of the Middle Renhuang realm, his tone seemed to suggest a little lack of confidence. After all, this was a powerful existence that had slain cultivators in the Ninth Realm, such as Jun Xiaoyao.

Although she was gorgeous, he was not deceived by her appearance. In the battle a few years ago, she had the most number of Renhuang kills.

As Ye Futian’s voice fell, an invisible pressure of the Great Path suddenly fell on him, making him shaking like a leave. Next to him, Zi Feng watched dumbfounded at Ye Futian; was he really asking the Island Lord to follow him?

This b*stard was too bold…

Ye Futian looked at the beautiful Island Lord weakly. Since she had already said that Eastern Deity Island would be his sooner or later, he was only exercising his power in advance.

He could feel the coercion; the pressure was great.

The female Island Lord had been staring at Ye Futian. She stepped forward, her long skirt moved upon the ground, noble and cold, with unparalleled grace. She now walked next to Ye Futian.

“If the Island Lord disagrees, then ignore what I just said,” Ye Futian’s attitude weakened considerably.

The Island Lord stared at him and said, “Very well!”

“Uh…” Ye Futian blinked and looked up at the stunning face in front of him. She agreed?

He didn’t ask forcibly, and the other party actually agreed?

The Island Lord’s strength was extraordinary, and with her by his side, Renhuang Realm opponents wouldn’t be a concern anymore.

“I’m with you.” The beauty that was the Island Lord said while she stared at Ye Futian. Suddenly, a small smile appeared—one that could turn all living creature upside down. However, Ye Futian had no time to appreciate such beauty. On the contrary, he felt a tightness all over; would there be any conspiracy?

“When do we leave?” the Island Lord asked.

“I’m going to refine some medicine, so how about after seven days?” Ye Futian raised his head and said in a low voice. His voice had lost much of its forcefulness.

“Good, I will work out the route of the trial so that you can do your own thing with peace of mind,” said the Island Lord.

Looking at her, Ye Futian felt that he was being led into a trap.

The sense of conspiracy was getting stronger. Did he get this wrong?

“You came from the Original Realm, unfamiliar with Divine Prefecture, and I know Donghua Domaine better than you. Don’t worry. I’m just leading the way. After all, this time, I’m just your follower, Island Lord Ye!” she continued, emphasizing the last three words.

“The Island Lord is too courteous. It is settled, then.” Ye Futian left quickly, still trembling. He fled without caring much for Zi Feng, who was left behind.

Watching Ye Futian’s departure, Zi Feng was a little speechless. She looked at the Island Lord and said, “Sister, are you really going?”

“Why not?” The Island Lord looked at Ye Futian’s departing figure with an intriguing smile. This little guy was truly daring, asking her to follow him. She gave him just a little taste, and he wanted to swallow the entire Eastern Deity Island up right this moment. Now, he even had some strange ideas about her.

In this instance, on account that she hadn’t been out for quite a long time, she would go with this little guy for a walk in the outside world.

For the next seven days, Ye Futian had been spending all his time in the alchemy laboratory, completely immersed in it.

And this time, there was no one observing. Everyone was waiting outside, and Ye Futian didn’t let anyone disturb his work.

In the direction of the alchemy laboratory, wisps of terrifying aura permeated. A greenish divine splendor soared, turning into a divine tree, faintly covering this entire space. Inside, a medicinal fragrance flowed continuously from it.

Buzz!

At this time, a terrifying Flame of the Way rushed into the sky, with a faint sound of the phoenix. When all the armorer looked over there, they saw a phantom of the phoenix appearing, circling outside.

A loud cry of the phoenix was heard, and a beating sound came from inside the alchemy laboratory. The divine phoenix swayed upward and cried nine times, piercing into the sky, like an unusual vision of heaven and earth, with incredible radiance.

Rays of divine light soared into the sky, and a vibrant fragrance permeated the air. The Great Path’s divine brilliance illuminated the laboratory, and everyone fixated on the vision in front of them.

Alchemy, and an unusual phenomenon.

“This is…” someone murmured.

“He should be,” someone next to him responded, and they were all shocked. They finally realized why Ye Futian’s attainments in alchemy were so strong, and his progress was so rapid. No wonder the Island Lord favored him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

So, he was the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai.

This was the alchemy of the Supreme Being Donglai, and Ye Futian had inherited his art of alchemy.

“All the medicines were left in the cauldron; all you elders may distribute them amongst yourselves. I’m going to have to take my leave now.” A voice was heard, and all the crowd saw was a figure in white on its way out, already gone.

Only then did everyone came to their senses and rushed into the alchemy laboratory. A medicinal smell greeted them, strong and fragrant. Inside the alchemy cauldron, the divine light of the Great Path was flowing about.

Buzz. A shadow rushed in.

In the next moment, several shadows came out at the same time, all rushing toward the alchemy cauldron.

Soon, there were bursts of booming sounds that came out of the alchemy laboratory.

Ye Futian moved in the void, as many voices kept coming from behind him.

“Nasty thief…”

“How dare you!”

“…”

Voices were heard, followed by a loud bang; it was the sound of the alchemy laboratory exploding. Ye Futian sighed. It was not that he didn’t want to help them, but rather that he couldn’t bear for them to turn on one another.

On this day, many alchemists fought each other violently. Friends fighting friends. They had no regard for their own dignity, while some had even gone to war directly. There was a panic on Eastern Deity Island as it was turned upside down. When someone reported to the Island Lord, they discovered that the Island Lord had already left Eastern Deity Island with Ye Futian and the others.

Outside of Eastern Deity Island, a group of people walked in the void and mist. Beigong Ao stole a glance at the woman next to him from time to time, still in disbelief. His eyes, when they looked at Ye Futian, were full of worship and admiration; this guy was a real genius to have actually kidnapped the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island.

“Did you do that deliberately?” the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island questioned Ye Futian.

“Huh?” Ye Futian pretended to be confused.

“Alchemy Laboratory,” the Island Lord prompted.

“A complete misunderstanding. I just wanted to keep some medicine,” Ye Futian replied, much aggrieved. The Island Lord glanced at him but said nothing further. The group continued moving forward, preparing to leave the Penglai Continent!
