It was Qin Li and Chu Yaoyao.

After Ye Futian left the Moon Clan, Qin Li became much prouder. He went to the Moon Clan with gifts and Chu Yaoyao’s master, Yan Feihong, was already swayed. Xiao Yueju’s attitude when Ye Futian went to the Moon Clan directly led to this. Yan Feihong agreed to Qin Li’s marriage with Chu Yaoyao and allowed the latter to cultivate at the Dongqin Academy for a while.

This news caused a ripple throughout the Eastern Barren Territory. People wondered if the Moon Clan would ally with the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Li and Chu Yaoyao walked over now, gazing at Zhe Song, Ye Wuchen, and the others. Chuckling, Qin Li said, “Luo Junlin isn’t the best of the Eastern Barren Territory but he is still a genius from the Royal Xuan Temple and He Yulu’s personal disciple. With such an advantage in plane, there is no reason he will fail.”

Emperor Ye and Ye Lingxi frowned. These people were clearly all from top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory like Ye Futian. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to make such comments. But from their tone, there wasn’t much chance for Ye Futian to win.

“You also thought this when Ye Futian challenged Qian Shanmu outside the Dongqin Academy,” Ye Wuchen said calmly without looking at Qin Li. The man had said many things, judging Ye Futian many times. He was humiliated every time but never learned his lesson.

Of course, Ye Wuchen knew that they were enemies so Qin Li naturally wished for Ye Futian to lose.

Qin Li didn’t mind Ye Wuchen’s jab. Smiling, he said, “Ye Wuchen, people would think you’re a disciple of the Cottage.”

“It’s so lively here.” There was a chuckle. The strong cultivators of the Ji Family from the Ancient Barren World had come. Others descended from the sky. The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan were here. Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo appeared together, causing many gasps.

Chu Yaoyao was already beautiful. Qin Mengruo was another beauty but in a different style. The building instantly became filled with talents and beauties. Even more terrifying, the strong cultivators behind these people were probably Nobles.

The restaurant not far from the palace instantly became so lively. All the strong cultivators from the Eastern Barren Territory grouped here.

When the people around the palace heard about this, they rushed over to witness this scene. Emperor Luo also came with Minister Hua.

Arriving, Emperor Luo gazed at everyone and greeted them. “You all have come from a faraway place. As the leader of the Nandou Nation, I must fulfill my duties as a host. This place is very crude. Please follow me to the Nandou palace.” Though he was an emperor, he still had to lower himself before these people.

“Sure.” Qin Li smiled and nodded. His attitude surprised many people. Was this person against Ye Futian? Everyone now knew about Ye Futian’s relationship with Emperor Luo. If he acted closely with Emperor Luo, what would Ye Futian think?

Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo obviously cooperated with Qin Li. Many walked over to Emperor Luo, making him look powerful. The spectators were confused. It seemed that Ye Futian wasn’t well-off in the Eastern Barren Territory. Otherwise, why wouldn’t these people care about his feelings?

“Senior Brother, shall we?” Qi Ao asked Zhe Song.

Seeing this, Emperor Ye furrowed his brows. He wasn’t familiar with the powers of the Eastern Barren Territory and didn’t know what was happening.

“Didn’t he say he won’t get involved in the Hundred Lands?” Ye Lingxi asked softly.

What did Zhe Song say earlier? He didn’t want Ye Wuchen’s sword to be used in the Hundred Lands.

Even though her voice was soft, Qi Ao still heard her. His eyes flashed and turned to her. “Is it your place to speak?” The first summit of the Fuyun Sword Clan had always disliked Ye Wuchen. Now, a girl beside him had comments too?

Ye Wuchen arched an eyebrow. He could tell that Qi Ao was targeting him. Otherwise, he had no reason to humiliate Ye Lingxi. He stood, sword intent wrapping around him.

“What, you want to fight me?” Qi Ao looked at him.

The surrounding people all stopped, looking intrigued. Was this an inner fight of the Fuyun Sword Clan?

“Wuchen.” Emperor Ye placed a hand on his shoulder, telling him to stop. He knew that they were all disciples of the Fuyun Sword Clan. He didn’t want to make Ye Wuchen’s life in the clan difficult because of this.

Ye Wuchen’s expression was cold while Qi Ao looked at him with a smile. Ye Lingxi said, “It’s alright.”

“Let’s go,” Zhe Song said. Qi Ao chuckled and the first summit of the Fuyun Sword Clan left, following Emperor Luo.

Qin Li, Chu Yaoyao, Qian Shanmu, Qin Mengruo, and many others followed as well. The Ji Family smiled and went to join them.

The people around them looked at Emperor Ye and whispered. Many followed Emperor Luo away. The crowd here thinned. Just then, a group of strong cultivators arrived in the sky. It was Ye Futian’s group.

In the sky, Ye Futian was going straight to the Nandou palace. When he was about to arrive, he saw the huge Kunpeng below and the group heading towards the palace. His eyes flashed.

“Down,” Ye Futian said. They went to the restaurant.

Sensing something, many people looked up to see Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu, and the others.

“Ye Futian.” Many were surprised. Sadly, those people had just left. Otherwise, there would be a show to watch. But with so many disciples of top forces here, probably nothing will happen.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Futian asked, sensing the odd atmosphere. He looked to the distance and seemed to see Qin Li, Chu Yaoyao, and the others.

“Those guys are so arrogant,” Liu Feiyang scoffed. He quickly recounted what happened.

Ye Futian’s eyes flashed. He wasn’t surprised at Qin Li. That guy was always here and Ye Futian started disliking him more and more. However, the conflict between Fuyun’s first summit and Ye Wuchen seemed more glaring. Otherwise, Zhe Song and Qi Ao wouldn’t act like that.

“Uncle Ye, did the imperial advisor come?” Ye Futian asked Emperor Ye.

“Yes, he is at the inn.” Emperor Ye nodded.

“Good. Take him to the palace. Uncle Ye, I’ll go now,” Ye Futian said. His body flashed and the group headed towards the palace. Nandou Wenshan and many of the Nandou Clan came as well.

The group whooshed past. In the front, Emperor Luo’s group was powerful too. Those following him looked back and saw Ye Futian’s group in the air. Their expressions changed.

Emperor Luo stopped and turned too. Seeing the people, his eyes turned cold. He knew what had happened in Donghai City but could do nothing. Now, Ye Futian brought the Nandou Clan over. What did this signify?

“Ye Futian.” Qin Li and the others looked up. The people behind them were intrigued. Was he finally here? These people had been invited by Emperor Luo into the palace. Ye Futian must be upset now. They didn’t care though.

While everyone looked up, Ye Futian acted as if he didn’t see them. He passed right above their heads. At that moment, the smiles of Qin Li and the others froze as they watched the people go past without looking at them.

This was different from what they had imagined.

“What is he doing?” Qi Ao furrowed his brows, upset. Ye Futian had gone right past their heads.

Ye Futian continued forward. Before the Nandou palace, the guards all moved aside when they saw him. Soon after, Ye Futian stood in the empty space before the palace. Emperor Luo and the others arrived, staring coldly at him. So many strong cultivators were gathered; they all stared at Ye Futian.

“Lock the palace. Do not let anyone in,” Ye Futian said.

“Yes.” The nine Nobles nodded and spread outside the palace.

The crowd was shocked. Qin Li and the other powerful figures were about to enter the palace with Emperor Luo but Ye Futian stood there and ordered to lock the palace. What did he mean? Was he going directly against the top forces? Many people had sharp gazes. Was Ye Futian really that powerful to do this?

The Qin Dynasty, Donghua Clan, and Fuyun Sword Clan frowned. Qin Li sneered and said, “Ye Futian, Emperor Luo invited us into the Nandou palace as guests. What are you doing?”

“Today is my battle with Luo Junlin to resolve matters of the Nandou Nation but you are with Luo. What are you doing?” Ye Futian asked in reply.

“Do I need your permission to stand with someone?” Qi Ao asked. He thought the people of the Cottage needed to mind their own business.

“From this moment on, the Nandou palace no longer belongs to the Luo family. It is returned to the Nandou Clan. My uncle is the descendant of the Nandou Nation’s royalty and will inherit this palace. From now on, no one is allowed to step foot inside.”

“Just with them?” Qi Ao gazed at the Nobles around Ye Futian.

“No…” Ye Futian stared at Qi Ao and said coldly and proudly, “Because I am a disciple of the Cottage.”

Qi Ao’s eyes hardened. Those from the Eastern Barren Territory understood the weight of those words. Ye Futian’s meaning was clear. If the other forces would get involved, then it was no longer Ye Futian’s personal matter. He would use his identity as a Cottage disciple.

“Disciple of the Cottage!” The people of Nandou didn’t understand. They were curious as to what the Cottage was.

“What if I want to go in?” Zhe Song looked at Ye Futian. As a swordsman of the Fuyun Sword Clan’s first summit, he also had his pride.

“You can try,” someone in the crowd said. A few people walked out. The one at the front was a handsome scholar in a pure white robe!
