Chapter 2585 - Kill Order
Chapter 2585: Kill Order
In the Divine Prefecture, a storm that involved the six major Ancient God Clans erupted.
Ye Futian led five Tribulation Plane cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum and they consecutively invaded the bases of the six major Ancient God Clans in the Original Realm. Ye Futian and his group plundered the possessions of the Ancient God Clans in the Original Realm and slaughtered the cultivators who held the forts.
They were domineering and ruthless.
By the time this news became known to the masses, the bases of the sixth major Ancient God Clans had been destroyed. Only later did this news spread across the Divine Prefecture and cause an uproar among the cultivators.
While all the cultivators were in shock, a question surfaced in their minds. Why was it that only after the bases of the six major Ancient God Clans of the Original Realm were destroyed did news of this happening slowly spread? The news did not spread immediately; instead, it was delayed by a few days.
It was only after the fact that the Divine Prefecture suddenly realized that all six major Ancient God Clans had been attacked.
Something suspicious was happening behind the scenes.
The six major Ancient God Clans would certainly be able to communicate between themselves and send messages to each other. After the first Ancient God Clan in Tianyan City was attacked, they could have immediately informed the other Ancient God Clans as well as the forces of the Divine Prefecture. However, they had not done so.
Hence, the other Ancient God Clans were also unprepared and were immediately ambushed and destroyed. Their connections between the Divine Prefecture and the Original Realm were severed and out of reach for them now.
Otherwise, if the armies of the Ancient God Clans were to retaliate, Ye Futian’s group would not have dared to act recklessly. They would have invited destruction upon themselves by attacking the Ancient God Clans.
However, all of this had not transpired. Ye Futian had very smoothly destroyed the bases of the six major Ancient God Clans. All of the Ancient God Clans suffered heavy losses.
The Ancient God Clans all had their own agendas. Once their base in the Original Realm was destroyed, they hoped that the other Ancient God Clans would suffer the same fate as them. When that happened, the various forces would be antagonistic towards Ye Futian.
In the Tianyan City Lord Office in the Divine Prefecture, before a golden throne in a palace, there were many cultivators. Wang Xiao was also there. All those present were core members of the Wang family.
“How did it go?” asked the Lord of Tianyan City.
A person down below said, “The news has already spread, and the Divine Prefecture already knows. Of the six major Ancient God Clans who participated in the siege of the Ziwei Segmentum back then, none of them were spared.”
“Hmm,” responded the Lord of Tianyan City as he nodded slightly. It was as he expected. When he received word that the Minor Tianyan Segmentum had been attacked, he was very surprised. His younger brother had also been killed. One could imagine the fury he felt inside.
However, after he calmed down, the Lord of Tianyan City did not spread this news. He instead kept it under wraps. After Ye Futian destroyed the imperial arms seal and destroyed the imperial arms, his cultivation might have become even stronger than before, making him even more dangerous.
Ye Futian had to die!
He could not just rely on Tianyan City to kill Ye Futian. Other forces had to play their role too. Hence, he had to reel in the other Ancient God Clans.
The deeper the hatred the other Ancient God Clans felt and the greater the losses they suffered, the greater effort they would commit to killing Ye Futian
“Won’t we offend the other Ancient God Clans by doing so?” asked a cultivator. He was somewhat worried as they were the first to be attacked.
“Those who were attacked after us also did not inform the other forces,” said the Lord of Tianyan City nonchalantly. “In the battle back then, we went in the hardest and also suffered the greatest losses. How did they kick us when we were down? They actually claimed that we had not gone all out. They wished that the members of our Tianyan City had fought to the death and perished along with the Ziwei Segmentum.”
Back then, the various forces had hoped that Wang Xiao would take down the Ziwei Segmentum at all costs.
“Our Tianyan City lost an imperial arm and was then attacked. How could we just let the other forces remain safe and sound?” he continued.
His tone was indifferent, seemingly containing resentment.
“Wouldn’t we miss the opportunity to kill Ye Futian?” asked an elder. He was an elder of the same generation as the Lord of Tianyan City. Otherwise, he would not have dared to question the latter now.
“We won’t,” answered the Lord of Tianyan City, not minding the questioning. “More than 30 years have passed. Ye Futian wouldn’t come seeking his death so easily. He has cultivated the Buddhist superpower Celerity. It won’t be easy to kill him. If we had informed the other forces and set up an ambush, he might not have attacked the other bases.”
“That is true. With Ye Futian having cultivated Celerity, taking him down will be very difficult unless he barges into one of the core regions of the Ancient God Clans,” the elder said as he nodded. “However, what should we do next?”
“We wait,” said the Lord of Tianyan City. “We do not need to do anything. Back then, we took the lead to attack the Ziwei Segmentum while the other forces watched from the sidelines. Now, it’s their turn to take the initiative.”
He had been brooding over previous events.
He seemed to have forgotten that Tianyan City had organized the Armorer Competition and shocked the Divine Prefecture. He had allowed Wang Xiao to bear imperial arms and head to the Ziwei Segmentum to kill Ye Futian. He had done so because he wanted Wang Xiao’s name to be known all over the Divine Prefecture and for him to become The Unrivaled.
However, things didn’t go as planned, and it did not end well. His resentment over the outcome back then made him say these words today.
“Will the other forces take action?” someone asked skeptically.
“It does not matter. This time, if no one makes a move, neither will we,” said the Lord of Tianyan City. “We only need to wait.”
As he said this, his will suddenly shifted. With a wave of his hand, an illusory image appeared before him. It was the image of a figure.
“Someone’s here,” the Lord said. The cultivators of Tianyan City narrowed their eyes when they saw the scene. From the looks of it, other Ancient God Clans had gotten impatient and had come to meet them.
“Lord Hua,” greeted the Lord of Tianyan City. It turned out that the person who arrived was the Lord of the Haotian Clan. The cultivators of Tianyan City heard rumors that the Haotian Clan had suffered severe losses this time. Their loss was even greater than that of Tianyan City.
The Haotian Clan was most probably enraged by this incident.
“City Lord, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the Original Realm?” asked the Lord of Haotian Clan. He appeared calm and did not seem out of the ordinary.
The Lord of Tianyan City answered coldly, “Ye Futian went on a massacre in the Original Realm and wishes to occupy the realm by driving out the forces of the Divine Prefecture. He is cruel and ambitious.” It seemed that he loathed Ye Futian. In his words, Ye Futian was an evil villain who wanted to occupy the Original Realm by any means necessary.
“You and I are of the same mind,” replied the Lord of Haotian Clan.
“Clan Lord, what are your thoughts on this matter?” asked the Lord of Tianyan City. He had speculated that the person who would act first would be the Lord of Haotian Clan. It was as he had expected.
After Ye Futian’s attack, aside from the foothold of the Haotian Clan in the Original Realm being destroyed and them suffering heavy losses, they also lost an extremely crucial figure. He was a descendant of the Haotian Clan and one whom the Lord of Haotian Clan had valued highly. The former was born from one of his concubines in his later years. The Lord had high hopes in this youngest child of his, hence he had allowed him to come to train in the Original Realm.
This youngest child had exceptional talent and ability. Yet, he was killed in the Original Realm. He had perished when Ye Futian and his group attacked their base.
This blood debt had to be repaid with Ye Futian’s death.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
The Lord of Haotian Clan coldly declared, “I am inviting all the forces in the Divine Prefecture, including you, the other Ancient God Clans and top forces, to issue a Kill Order to hunt down all the cultivators from the Ziwei Segmentum. What do you think?” The murderous intent in his speech filled the sky!
