Chapter 1872 - Person-in-Charge?
1872 Person-in-Charge?
In front of the 81 story Dongyuan Pavilion, the will of the statue manifested, and the brilliant light of the Great Path shone for 3,000 miles.
Over there, an illusory silhouette appeared. It seemed alive, as though it was actually existing. At that moment, the eyes of the illusory silhouette suddenly opened. In that instant, the hearts of countless people around the Dongyuan Pavilion trembled. Their hearts wavered.
This… Had he awakened a hidden will within the statue?
A divine halo enveloped the statue. The illusory silhouette looked at Ye Futian. At that moment, Ye Futian’s eyes seemed to traverse the endless space. He saw the silhouette of a mighty figure in another world. It had not been difficult for him to activate the will of the statue. The person who forged this statue back in the day had left behind a will of the Great Path to test the people. Ye Futian had also immediately activated the will of the statue, awakening the master of the statue.
Hence, an astonishing scene appeared before his eyes.
3,000 miles of space was enveloped in resplendent light. Everyone in Dongyuan City raised their heads and looked at the divine silhouette in their sights.
“It is the statue in front of the Dongyuan Pavilion. This…”
“What is going on?”
The people in the city burst into an exciting discussion. For the statue to have manifested, something big must have happened. Countless people frenziedly rushed over in the direction of the Dongyuan Pavilion.
It was not just the people of Dongyuan City. Right now, even the major figures around the Dongyuan Pavilion were trembling in awe. This included the top figures of the continent, such as Emperor Helian. This fellow had actually achieved something that they had never been able to pull off.
It was laughable that the cultivators of Dongyuan Pavilion had actually prevented Ye Futian from entering. Even Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master had intentionally made things hard for Ye Futian and had wanted him to activate the will of the statue. Yet, they most likely never imagined that Ye Futian would reach this step.
This time, Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master had slapped himself in the face.
When Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master saw this scene, the look in his eyes was complicated. Although he was filled with awe, he similarly had cold murderous intentions. He felt threatened.
As Pavilion Master, someone had achieved something that he had never been able to do. The will of the statue had manifested before the crowd. How was he feeling right now? If this person had caught his eye, matters would still be alright. However, they just so happened to have prevented the other party from entering the Dongyuan Pavilion. This was an extreme mockery for them.
Right now, Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master was angry inside as he secretly blamed Liu Dongge. Why hadn’t this useless fellow not allowed Ye Futian into the Dongyuan Pavilion?
Pavilion Master did not know about this matter.
However, now that the situation was already like this, he could not change it anymore.
“Welcome, senior.”
At that moment, a few major figures beside Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master bowed slightly at the silhouette that had manifested. They would naturally show respect to the founder of Dongyuan Pavilion.
The silhouette that had manifested did not look at them. Instead, he looked at Ye Futian and said, “There will be no restrictions for you in Dongyuan Pavilion. You can even become the person in charge of Dongyuan Pavilion.”
“Many thanks, senior,” Ye Futian replied as he bowed in respect. Immediately, the resplendent light dissipated. The illusory silhouette also gradually disappeared. The light of the Great Path surged into the statue. When everything returned to normal, it was as though nothing had happened. Internally, the hearts of the crowd could not calm down. They were astonished.
The members of Dongyuan Pavilion had forbidden Ye Futian from entering. However, now that the founder of Dongyuan Pavilion had personally manifested and appeared, there were no longer any restrictions on him in Dongyuan Pavilion.
What was even more astonishing was the sentence that came last. Ye Futian could become the person in charge of Dongyuan Pavilion.
What did this mean?
The founder had handpicked Ye Futian to control Dongyuan Pavilion.
When Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master, who was initially bowing, heard this, he raised his head. His heart was as cold as ice. A murderous intent flashed past in his eyes as he looked at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian could take charge of the Dongyuan Pavilion? Then, who was Pavilion Master?
This time, Pavilion Master, as well as his subordinates, had made fools of themselves. Their image was ruined. The cultivators below the Dongyuan Pavilion thought to themselves. This was truly a slap to the face.
After the statue returned to its original state, the Dongyuan Pavilion actually became exceptionally quiet. No one said anything, and the atmosphere was somewhat bizarre.
It was as though no one knew where to begin.
Liu Dongge’s expression was as ugly as it could be. He was the instigator of all this.
Before this, he had denied Ye Futian from entering the Dongyuan Pavilion.
When Ye Futian inquired about his reason for doing so, Liu Dongge had said that Ye Futian was not allowed to do so because he had not allowed it. He had no reason, and he could decide everything.
What about now?
Was he going to cast Ye Futian out of the Dongyuan Pavilion?
Today, the various cultivators had witnessed everything that had occurred. Very soon, this matter would be known throughout Dongyuan City. Liu Dongge couldn’t kill Ye Futian and pretend nothing happened. Would their forces still be qualified to be in control of the Dongyuan Pavilion then?
Most likely, no one would accept the outcome if they tried to do so.
“Spectacular!” Emperor Helian cried out in astonishment. He looked at Ye Futian and said, “This statue has stood here for 300 years. and no one has ever managed to manifest the will of the statue like you have done, little friend. You awakened the founder of Dongyuan Pavilion. Today has truly been eye-opening. It is laughable that the cultivators of the Pavilion actually tried to stop you. I wonder what their intentions were.”
“Pavilion Master Liu, are you still going to stop him?” Emperor Helian asked Pavilion Master. He wanted to make the other party look bad in front of the crowd. Clearly, they were not close. It could even be said that there was bad blood between them. If not, Emperor Helian would not put Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master on the spot like this.
“Since Ye Futian has managed to do so and the founder of Dongyuan Pavilion has personally spoken, we will let bygones be bygones,” Pavilion Master Liu said as he looked at Ye Futian. “From today onwards, you can enter the Pavilion as you please. You have absolute freedom.”
Under such circumstances, what could he do? Would he defy the wish of the founder?
He could only let things be and acknowledge Ye Futian. Ye Futian would be able to enter the Pavilion freely. As for the death of the Renhuang, Pavilion Master Liu could only keep quiet and not mention it.
The Renhuang was fated to have died in vain.
Ye Futian swept an indifferent glance at the other party. This was beyond what he had expected. Before this, if the Pavilion Master continued to act outrageously, Ye Futian would have immediately retaliated. With Ye Futian’s current cultivation, even if he did not activate the will of the emperor, he should be able to put up a fight.
Of course, he was not sure about Pavilion Master Liu’s actual combat prowess. Nevertheless, Ye Futian’s opponent couldn’t take his life.
If Ye Futian came again after breaking through to the next Plane, that would cover all his bases. He would not release the will of the emperor in public. It was his trump card.
“Is that all?” Emperor Helian said as he narrowed his eyes at Pavilion Master Liu. With a smile, he continued saying, “Did Pavilion Master not listen clearly to what the founding senior said before?”
The master of the statue had manifested and proclaimed that Ye Futian would be in charge of the Dongyuan Pavilion in his place. This meant that Ye Futian could become the new Pavilion Master.
“Helian, even though the founding senior said so, his cultivation is currently only that of a lower-level Renhuang. How will he have authority over the powerful ones and control the Dongyuan Pavilion?” the middle-aged man beside Pavilion Master Liu said before Pavilion Master managed to respond.
“My Helian Royal Family is willing to aid him,” Emperor Helian said with a smile.
“Such wild ambition,” the middle-aged man coldly snorted.
“Do you want to look after the Pavilion?” Pavilion Master Liu asked Ye Futian, causing the two of them who were bickering to shut up. They both gave Pavilion Master Liu strange glances. Could it be that he had changed his attitude towards Ye Futian?
Ye Futian looked at the other party and revealed an expression of amusement. He asked, “What if I want to?”
“Since the founding senior has spoken, if you want, I will hand over the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master to you,” Pavilion Master Liu explained. “However, since your current cultivation Plane is not high enough, we will temporarily aid you in maintaining order in the Dongyuan Pavilion. When you no longer need us, I can hand over the responsibilities completely to you.”
Ye Futian smiled as he looked at the other party.
This was a good suggestion. That way, both he and the other party could manage Dongyuan Pavilion together. As a puppet, no one would even know how Ye Futian died.
With so much time, wouldn’t it be easy to kill a lower-level Renhuang?
The other party might be thinking so.
“Many thanks, but that will not be necessary,” Ye Futian said. He then walked towards the Dongyuan Pavilion. When he saw Liu Dongge standing to the side, he said, “You denied me entry to the Dongyuan Pavilion, yet I still made it up here.”
Liu Dongge’s expression froze on his face. He had no words to respond to Ye Futian; he could only watch as Ye Futian continued walking forwards.
Xia Qingyuan, Ying Qing, as well as Black Wind Condor, followed Ye Futian. Black Wind Condor swept a sharp glance at Liu Dongge and said, “Idiot…”
A will emanated from Liu Dongge. The look that Black Wind Condor gave him was somewhat provocative.
“Brood may not enter,” Liu Dongge said.
“Dongge,” Pavilion Master Liu interrupted him. Liu Dongge endured it as he watched Black Wind Condor walk into the Dongyuan Pavilion.
“Interesting,” Emperor Helian exclaimed with a smile. He then placed his hands behind his back and casually waltzed into the Dongyuan Pavilion. This scene caused the expression of Pavilion Master Liu to turn ugly. This old fellow was originally plotting to take his place. Now, was he planning to use Ye Futian to seize control over the Dongyuan Pavilion?
Ye Futian stepped into the Dongyuan Pavilion and was astonished by the building.
An aura of the Great Path enveloped the entire Dongyuan Pavilion. The interior was all-inclusive. The ancient manuscripts of the Great Path that were carved on the walls could not be taken away from this place. They were carved onto jade scrolls using specialized methods. One could only inspect them using their will.
At the center of the Dongyuan Pavilion was a spiraling staircase that extended upwards until the 81st floor.
Ye Futian glanced around. The lowest floor did not contain anything that he needed. They were all cultivation methods for people of low cultivation Planes. He then made his way up the stairs.
Although Ye Futian did not lack cultivation methods, since this place contained the teachings that Donghuang the Great had ordered people to copy down for the masses back then, they must be suitable for all cultivators. There might be some incredible cultivation techniques among them.
Ying Qing quietly followed behind Ye Futian. Everything that occurred today had a huge impact on her. How monstrous was this cultivator who was picked up by Han Lin from Senluo Manor?
Now, she was not worried at all about her revenge. Since Ye Futian had promised her, he would certainly help her settle it!
