Chapter 2390: Lamentation

After having destroyed the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the Lord of Tianyan City left with his cultivators. For him, it was nothing more than an impulse which he couldn’t care less, and there was no reason for him to care either. Even those ordinary Renhuang, who were considered powerful in the cultivation world, were nothing more than insects in his eyes.

Tianyan City enjoyed a lofty position in the Divine Prefecture, and he who had the whole city in the palm of his hand had all the rights to be arrogant and proud.

No one bothered to stop him. If the Lord of Tianyan City wanted to leave, then unless they unleash the Battle Matrix of the Rocks to hinder him, he could not be stopped. More importantly, the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy were still much weaker in comparison.

Ye Futian looked skyward, watching the Heavenly Mandate Academy being destroyed yet again, watching the Lord of Tianyan City leaving with his minions just like that. An extremely icy murderous intent flashed through his eyes. This was the man at the helm of the Ancient God Clan, the cultivator who stood at the very peak of the Divine Prefecture. Even in defeat, he was still so unbelievably pompous and overbearing, destroying the Heavenly Mandate Academy mindlessly. He had no concern at all if there had been any cultivators inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

In the eyes of someone at this level, perhaps the lives of the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy account for nothing at all.

If it hadn’t been for him to make those arrangements in advance to send away as many people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy as possible, the consequences of the attack by the Lord of Tianyan City would be unthinkable.

When he thought of that, Ye Futian looked at the figure in the distance that was slowly disappearing. A strong murderous intent flashed through his eyes. Did he think of the lives of all these people in the Heavenly Mandate Academy as nothing and that he could get away razing the Academy to the ground with a wave of his hand?

If he were powerful enough one day, he would most certainly return the same treatment to the Lord of Tianyan City.

Ruthless, other major forces from Divine Prefecture thought when they glanced at the Academy that was now nothing more than a pile of rubble. The Lord of Tianyan City was aggressive. This parting blow was because of the resentment that was still in his heart. He had failed to achieve his goal, which was to take away the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. But it might have also been because his descendant, Wang Mian, had been defeated.

No matter what the reason was, it didn’t matter anymore. The strength of the Lord of Tianyan City was indisputable. Even if he had destroyed the Heavenly Mandate Academy, what could they do?

Unless it were Ye Futian that they wanted to take away, then these people would stop at nothing to fight against them. Comparatively speaking, the destruction of a mere Heavenly Mandate Academy was a small price to pay.

The cultivators from the Divine Prefecture left one after the other. Soon, all the major principalities had left and disappeared to return to the Central Emperor Realm. Since they failed to achieve their goal, there was no point in lingering any longer.

However, there were also a few forces that had not left. Those were the forces on friendly terms with Ye Futian, and the cultivators of West Imperial Palace in the West Sea Domain had also stayed behind.

The battle concluded, and Ye Futian’s spiritual soul came out of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor to return to his own physical body. A sense of weakness washed over Ye Futian, and his breathing began to fluctuate as his body drifted to the grounds below.

Xi Chiyao was watching Ye Futian and wanted to say something. However, when she saw Ye Futian’s attention was focused on the area below, she kept her silence. Then, she saw Ye Futian and the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy were moving further below, so she and the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace also followed along with them.

The Heavenly Mandate Academy was destroyed by a single blow, and the Heavenly Mandate City did not escape unscathed. The aftermath of that blow swept across all of the Heavenly Mandate City and shattered many buildings. Those with weaker cultivation were severely injured in the aftermath, and those who got a little too close perished needlessly. This sudden catastrophe due to the aftermath was an unexpected and unfortunate consequence.

At the moment, many cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate City gathered at the place where the Heavenly Mandate Academy used to be. Looking at the Academy that was now turned into ruins, many people clenched their fists, deep in their shared grief and indignation.

The Heavenly Mandate Academy had long become a symbol of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, respected and worshipped by everyone inside Heavenly Mandate City. They had all seen the battle that took place in the void. The kind of people that Ye Futian and the Heavenly Mandate Academy had come in contact with were no longer anyone that they could identify with. They were all heavyweights from Divine Prefecture and other worlds.

They knew very well what kind of pressure that the Heavenly Mandate Academy was facing. They never anticipated that after the battle, a cultivator from Divine Prefecture would and could destroy the Academy with a wave of his hand.

Ye Futian and everyone inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy landed on the ruins. All of them looked down at the ground below. A terrifying and sharp aura of the Great Path still remained inside the ruins.

The Academy had been destroyed once again.

Not only was Ye Futian angry, but the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy behind him felt the same. A coldness effused from them, and a murderous intent was more than obvious in their eyes.

“College Chief!” some Renhuang called out. Their eyes were red. Some of their companions and loved ones had been killed.

“Renhuang Ye.” Below, everyone in the Heavenly Mandate City was also looking at Ye Futian above the void and called out his name.

“Renhuang Ye…”

In the distant Heavenly Mandate City, some people bowed their heads in Ye Futian’s direction. He looked yonder and saw a corpse lying in front of the person who was kneeling and bowing. His voice was tinged with sorrow and anger.

Divine consciousness shrouded the boundless space, and Ye Futian saw that many people were crying in many places.

“The Heavenly Mandate Academy will not be rebuilt. Just the teleportation grand matrix and a simple cultivation court need to be rebuilt. The rest of this ruin will remain as it is. The aura of the Great Path leftover by the Lord of Tianyan City is not to be erased. Let it stay here,” Ye Futian said as if giving an order. This was the first time ever that he gave an order in a tone like this to the people around him.

“Understood.”

“Yes.”

Behind them, Lord Taixuan and the others responded and took the order. They understood the meaning behind Ye Futian’s order. This was the shame of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, but it was also a reminder of the score to be settled. Keeping all of this here was a reminder to themselves that they should always remember all that had happened today and never forget.

Before they could repay everything that happened today back to Tianyan City, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would not be rebuilt.

Xi Chiyao was touched when she beheld the scene in front of her. It seemed that Ye Futian and his people were truly angered now and would remember what transpired today. The Lord of Tianyan City had dealt this random, unpremeditated attack because he didn’t care.

But Ye Futian cared, and the people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy cared. The cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate City cared, and they would remember.

It was inevitable now that Tianyan City and the Heavenly Mandate Academy had become mortal enemies. Ye Futian was not even this irate when he realized that they had come to relieve him of Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body. Who in the Divine Prefecture didn’t covet the body of a Great Emperor?

But this random strike from the Lord of Tianyan City seemed to have touched Ye Futian’s soft spot, and he really took notice now.

It was very likely that in the future, Tianyan City’s crimes today would not be forgotten.

The haughty Lord of Tianyan City didn’t care much about the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Perhaps he was too arrogant to realize that he might have offended someone with more potential than he was aware. Of course, perhaps in the eyes of Lord of Tianyan City, it didn’t really matter to him either. Even if Ye Futian reached the fullness of his potential one day, he needn’t fear. Given his status in Tianyan City, what could Ye Futian do to him?

As to Ye Futian’s potential of becoming an Emperor, he hadn’t thought about it, and no one would either.

In the countless years after the collapse of the Heavenly Path, how many new Emperors had come into being in the world?

No matter how talented and unparalleled Ye Futian was, it wasn’t so easy to become an Emperor!
