The Legend of Futian

Chapter 1996 - Upheaval



Chapter 1996: Upheaval

After Lin Yuan and his partner were killed, a few streaks of silhouettes descended on this area. They looked at each other, their brows furrowed.

“Let’s go.” In a flash, they disappeared.

In a tavern in Turtle Deity Island, a person sat quietly on the attic floor. Ling He was sipping his wine calmly. Out of nowhere, a person appeared behind him. He was the elderly man who killed Lin Yuan. He stood behind Ling He and telepathically said, “Dongxiao Continent, Wangshen Watchtower.”

“Wangshen Watchtower.” A tinge of surprise flashed in Ling He’s eyes. A name surfaced in his mind. “Zong Chan?”

That could not be right. Zong Chan was rumored to have already broken through to the high-level Renhuang level. That man, however, was only a middle-level Renhuang. He should be another practitioner of Wangshen Watchtower. Indeed, it was exactly like what he had guessed—the man hailed from a very powerful faction of the Donghua Domain.

However, even if he were from Wangshen Watchtower, he would have to pay the price for spoiling his plans.

This time, he had put in a lot of effort to get close to the people from the Snow Capital; however, it seemed like it was highly likely to fail.

“Who is that?” At that moment, a virtuoso behind Ling He glanced into the distance. There was a divine consciousness spying on them.

A strong divine consciousness shrouded the entire space around the tavern. A pressure of the Great Path hammered down on a certain location, and at that spot, a few people walked in the air. They appeared outside the tavern and stood from afar. One of them announced, “We are from the City Lord’s Office. Where are you from?”

Ling He’s eyes narrowed sharply. He glanced at the elderly man behind him with a tinge of coldness in his eyes. The elderly man’s expressions changed slightly, and he lowered his head as though he had made a mistake. It was apparent that he did not fully clean up after himself, and his actions had caught some people’s attention.

“Donghua Heavens, Lingxiao Pavilion.” Ling He lifted his cup of wine and drank it calmly without looking at the other party.

Upon hearing the name “Lingxiao Pavilion of the Donghua Heavens,” the row of people hesitated for a moment and sighed internally. They could not afford to offend factions of such a high level.

“Apologies for the disturbance.” The few of them wrapped their fists lightly and left the area in a flash, as though they had never appeared before. They did not mention why they came here; it seemed like it was only to ask where the other party was from.

Ling He did not find it strange at all. Even if his actions were discovered, it meant nothing to him. The life of two ants was worth nothing to him; he wouldn’t even think about it. It was just that his reputation would suffer a little if news that he might be using his position to carry out his personal revenge got out. He was a man of status, and so, it would be a little embarrassing if people knew that he used his influence to deal with two juniors.

Apart from that, the death of the two of them was nothing major.

“Have the people from the various huge factions arrive?” asked Ling He. The major factions that he mentioned naturally referred to the most powerful factions in the Donghua Domain; they were factions that were on the same level as the Lingxiao Pavilion. For example, Wangshen Watchtower.

Otherwise, the other factions were meaningless, and there was no need to pay attention to them.

“They should more or less have arrived,” an elderly man replied. “The Domain Chief’s Manor had always had someone here, but those coming should still be on their way. Now that the people from the Wangshen Watchtower had arrived, we only haven’t heard from the Nanhua Continent and Badlands Continent. All the other factions already have representatives here.”

“Mmm,” the youth nodded. “Investigate if there are any new powerful middle-level Renhuang in the Wangshen Watchtower.”

“Yes, sir,” someone accepted the order. The factions in Turtle Deity Island were rather jumbled at the moment. Virtuosos from various places were all here. Scouting would not only be simple but rather, it would be made even easier. Because people from various places were all gathered in one place, information could be exchanged easily.

Ling He looked far into the distance, his eyes carrying a tinge of coldness. Regardless of how powerful anyone was, if anyone dared to disrupt his plans, they must pay for it.

Ye Futian had not received news of Lin Yuan’s death. Whatever happened at the Divine Ocean Cliff was mainly due to his conflict with the other party. In any case, it was not a big matter anyway, so there wasn’t a deep grudge formed. He did not expect that this encounter would cause him to be a target of assassination.

Certainly, he would not expect that to lead to the death of Lin Yuan and his partner. If he knew, he would not have let Lin Yuan leave him.

While they were walking around Turtle Deity Island, a row of silhouettes suddenly flashed towards them and descended. Seeing who had arrived, Ye Futian smiled and said, “Brothers, you have finally arrived.”

“Mmm.” The people who arrived were the practitioners of Wangshen Watchtower. Li Changsheng and Zong Chang were all among them.

“Your Brother Zong and I had arrived some time ago and met up in advance. We were nearby when we saw you arrive,” Li Changsheng smiled and said. Even though he was a powerful level-nine existence, one could not feel a tinge of threatening aura.

Of course, this was only one of his side; he was like this only to his fellow brothers.

“I wonder how long more we have to wait,” Ye Futian said.

“There’s no need to rush. This time, many powerful figures have arrived. It has been many years since virtuosos from various places have gathered in one place in the Donghua Domain. It is quite a fortunate coincidence this time,” Li Changsheng said with a smile. “Among the powerful characters who have come this time, there might be those who are not necessarily weaker than you. It’s a pity that you don’t have the chance to spar with them.”

“It seems that brother really wants to spectate a battle of the Path between disciples of top-tier factions,” Zong Chan smiled.

“Nope, I am only interested in the battle of the Path between practitioners of Little Brother Ye’s level, or influential characters like Little Brother Zong,” Li Changsheng smiled. “This time, I’m afraid that among the powerful people who have come this time, a number would want to know if you live up to your reputation. I might be able to spectate some interesting events.”

Zong Chan shook his head silently. The greater one’s fame, the more easily one is targeted by others. It was exactly because he had risen to a high-level Renhuang that he had been targeted by various top-tier factions.

Boom…

Just as they were talking, a low rumble reverberated continuously throughout the space. When they lifted their heads towards the heavens and saw that dark clouds shrouded the blue sky. The black clouds floated about, and the skies gradually darkened.

“Something big is going to happen.” Li Changsheng’s eyes glowed in anticipation, and he stared at the skies above. The clouds that floated about gave off a tinge of pressure.

At the same moment, in various places on Turtle Deity Island, many people raised their heads to look at the skies. They all felt the faint pressurizing aura. They could feel that something big was going to happen.

“The weather is changing so quickly, and these phenomena are happening. Does this mean that the tribulations are coming?” Ye Futian muttered softly.

“I’ve not witnessed it before either. However, from the ancient records, the geographical phenomena caused by the Great Path Tribulations of Gods require time to happen. This scene now probably indicates that the tribulations will happen soon,” Li Changsheng replied with his head raised towards the skies.

At the same time, many people flew out from the city towards the same destination—Turtle Peak.

“We should also set off towards Turtle Peak,” Li Changsheng continued. Instantly, they also shot into the skies.

At that moment, they noticed that the entire population of Turtle Deity Island was making their move, and they were all headed towards Turtle Peak.

Turtle Peak was the cultivation court of Emperor Xi. All the virtuosos would descend from the skies right before arriving at Turtle Peak and then walk up to the peak. Everyone was conscious not to enter the peak from above. Without sufficient strength, their action would be an act of provocation.

Everyone has arrived, Ye Futian thought to himself. They also arrived at the foot of the Turtle Peak and began walking up Turtle Peak. He was not the only one; virtuosos from all over the world were rushing to ascend the peak. Wisps of aura of the Great Path exploded out one after another as everyone began using their own unique skills. At that moment, the area looked very beautiful.

“Who are those people?” At that moment, many people looked in a certain direction. At that location was a row of goddess-like figures. They were dressed in white and surrounded by a cold aura. Even the temperature around them dropped a few degrees; no one dared to get close to them.

“Goddesses of the Northern White Snow Capital,” someone said.

“The Land of Fluttering Snow?” someone asked in surprise.

“Yes,” someone replied. Instantly the people around them retreated in fear of getting too close to them. Even though the ladies were gorgeous, no one dared to go up and flirt with them.

Ye Futian also looked in that direction. The other virtuosos all kept their distance and did not dare appear in their vicinity. It seemed that these ladies were rather intimidating.

Ye Futian spotted a familiar silhouette among them; it was the goddess-like figure that he saw that day at the cliff.

“Northern White, Snow Capital?” Ye Futian muttered. “Are they practitioners from the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow of the Northern White Continent?”

It was one of the seven main continents of the Donghua Domain, so naturally, Ye Futian looked up information regarding the place. In the Northern White Continent, the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow was located in the Snow Capital. It was the top sacred grounds of Northern White; certainly, it was especially powerful.

In that case, that lady must come from the Snow Capital’s Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow.

“Are you interested?” Li Changsheng smiled at Ye Futian. “While the practitioners of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow are a little fierce, they are all stunning.”

Ye Futian smiled and shook his head. Of course, he knew that Li Changsheng was joking.

However, everyone seemed to be a little wary of the Goddesses of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow. Was it because of their cultivation?

They continued walking up, and in no time at all, many practitioners had ascended Turtle Peak. The aura in the skies became even more pressurizing; it was like the pressure of the Great Path’s aura.

With great phenomena appearing in the skies, something big was bound to happen. The tribulations were going to arrive!
