Chapter 2595 - The Second Attack
Chapter 2595: The Second Attack
What happened in Haotian Clan and Infinite Mountain made the entire Divine Prefecture tremble. In the land of the Divine Prefecture, the six Ancient God Clans were forced to such desperation by Ye Futian alone.
He had gone to the Haotian Clan alone and caused great chaos deep within, slaying many of the cultivators who had responded to the kill order. In addition, he had also slaughtered some of the direct disciples and several cultivators in the Tribulation Plane in Haotian Clan. Then there was Infinite Mountain, which also suffered tragic losses. Their Great Protector was killed by Ye Futian, and there were heavy casualties among its disciples.
As for Celestial Worthy Mountain, its foundation was not enough to withstand such an overwhelming disaster. It was destroyed almost entirely, with only the few people who went to Haotian City left alive.
With these bloody testimonies before them, how many others dared to accept the kill order?
Those who cultivated by themselves without clan affiliation may be interested in giving it a shot without too many concerns, but there was still an inherent danger.
After the war erupted, the six Ancient God Clans felt a deep uneasiness. Ye Futian was able to threaten the existence of the Ancient God Clans directly. At the very least, Ye Futian’s presence meant that the cultivators of the Ancient God Clans could no longer come and go as they pleased, and they could not venture outside as before. Doing so would be a matter of life or death.
Afterward, the six Ancient God Clans recalled all their members back to their bases and prepared to defend themselves at a moment’s notice. At the same time, the six Ancient God Clans discussed countermeasures remotely and finally reached an agreement.
They could no longer allow Ye Futian any opportunities to attack them.
Upon Ye Futian’s return to Ziwei Segmentum, just as he was walking, he suddenly felt something in his mind, and a treasure mirror appeared in front of him; Xi Chiyao appeared on the other side of the mirror.
“You are not back yet?” Xi Chiyao asked. Right now, Xi Chiyao was at Ziwei Imperial Palace.
“Almost there; I’m already in Ziwei Segmentum,” Ye Futian replied.
“I have received news that the six Ancient God Clans are getting ready to reopen the space passage and plan to come to the Original Realm once again. This time, they may very well stay for the long haul by stationing in the periphery to lay siege on Ziwei Segmentum,” Xi Chiyao said.
The six Ancient God Clans would finally declare total war on Ye Futian. They realized that as long as Ye Futian was alive, all six Ancient God Clans would never have a day of peace.
“I know. I’ll be there soon,” said Ye Futian. His mind moved as he traversed across the void. Not long after that, Ye Futian appeared in Ziwei Imperial Palace and found Xi Chiyao.
“You are finally back.” Xi Chiyao stepped forward. “You have done it this time and directly threatened the foundation of the six Ancient God Clans. I’m afraid they won’t let the matter rest so easily this time.”
“Even if I didn’t go this time, they would have initiated the kill order regardless, so what difference does it make?” Ye Futian responded, “If they want to come, we will be here waiting for them.”
After that, his figure flickered as he came to the temple inside Ziwei Imperial Palace and called out, “Everyone, listen up.”
As soon as his voice fell, several figures emerged right away. It was Murong Yu and the others; they were the key people inside Ziwei Imperial Palace.
“Palace Lord,” they called out.
“Recall all the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace. Abandon the lands we have previously seized, but have them bring back all useful items,” Ye Futian ordered directly.
“Yes, Palace Lord.” Everyone nodded and took the order.
“Palace Lord, what else do you need us to do?” Murong Yu asked.
“Nothing.” Ye Futian shook his head, “The six Ancient God Clans will attack the Ziwei Segmentum for the second time, and I’m sure this time, they still won’t have the results they want. In the future, there may be a third time. I am hoping that when they finally attack the third time, Ziwei Segmentum will be capable of keeping them here forever.”
“We will work hard to elevate our cultivation.” Murong Yu and the others bowed. Again, they had to rely solely just on the Palace Lord. Although they were now in the Tribulation Plane, it was difficult for them to participate in a battle of this caliber.
The six Ancient God Clans were tremendously powerful. If they were to participate in the battle, there was a great possibility that they would perish.
“Go and make the arrangements,” said Ye Futian, as he proceeded to contact Lord Chen.
Lord Chen and Ye Futian’s third senior brother, Gu Dongliu, stayed behind in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
When the six Ancient God Clans descended again, they would no doubt try to seize their lost territories and might very well attack Heavenly Mandate. If they couldn’t sack Ziwei Segmentum, it was only natural that they retaliate against the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
They didn’t know who would be dispatched to attack Heavenly Mandate.
After that, Ziwei Segmentum started all the hustle and bustle, as they recalled all their cultivators. At the same time, the supreme grand matrix of space connected to the Heavenly Mandate Academy was activated to transport the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy back to Ziwei Segmentum.
In Ziwei Segmentum, there was also a Heavenly Mandate Academy, which corresponded to its counterpart.
“Goddess Chiyao, I need a favor,” Ye Futian said to Xi Chiyao.
“Go ahead,” Xi Chiyao nodded.
“Please have the West Imperial Palace spread the words to the Divine Prefecture, and let them know that I am personally issuing this warning to the six Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture. If someone were to destroy other interfaces such as the Heavenly Mandate or the Original Realm and harm those innocent people within, it’s a promise that I will make all the cities of the six Ancient God Clans the cities of the dead,” Ye Futian said.
After the previous battle, the six Ancient God Clans in the Divine Prefecture should know that Ye Futian could do just that.
He may not be able to infiltrate into the interiors of the Ancient God Clans, but the cities occupied by the Ancient God Clans were well within his ability to destroy, and he could make them cities full of the dead. The veracity of his resolve aside, as soon as the words were out, if the six Ancient God Clans had attacked Heavenly Mandate Realm and if Ye Futian was still alive, he believed all the cultivators who resided in those cities would probably get the hell out on their own to avoid impending disaster.
Based on the previous battle in Haotian City, he believed that he had this kind of power to deter these people.
“That’s not a problem,” Xi Chiyao nodded. Spreading news like this was simple enough and something that could be easily done by West Imperial Palace.
Especially now, when the land of the Divine Prefecture was still shaken by everything that had happened in Haotian City, coupled with such strong warning from Ye Futian, this news would naturally take over the land of the Divine Prefecture with great sensation.
Ye Futian did not believe that the six Ancient God Clans would risk public opinion of the world and slaughter those interfaces such as the Heavenly Mandate Realm and the others. The previous kill order had already caused deep distrust in many cultivators who were present at the time. They responded to the kill order, but the six Ancient God Clans did not protect their lives, keeping them inside the city while Ye Futian hunted them down at will.
Nowadays, it was impossible for the six Ancient God Clans to vent their anger by just killing some innocent people inside of Heavenly Mandate, which would only cause their cities to be retaliated in return, on top of lowering the morale of their people. Unless they could kill Ye Futian in the process, which would be another matter entirely.
As the Ziwei Imperial Palace began to get busy, so did the six Ancient God Clans. They were now reorganizing the infrastructure of the Ancient God Clans. After recalling their cultivators who were stationed outside, the top figures began to create a passageway.
Once again, the united forces of all six Ancient God Clans had opened the passageway to the land of the Original Realm. At the same time, the Lord of Celestial Worthy Mountain, as well as several other top forces, had made great sacrifices for the goal of killing Ye Futian. No matter what the cost might be, they had to get rid of Ye Futian.
As long as Ye Futian was left to exist, their principalities would most likely end up like the Celestial Worthy Mountain, completely annihilated. The standoff at hand would only allow one side to remain.
The six Ancient God Clans went to the Original Realm again with their troops. The first thing they did was to visit the territories that were once seized in the Original Realm. However, they found to their surprise, that those places were already emptied with no one there. The cultivators of the Ziwei Segmentum had all been recalled as well.
All of them were in a terrible mood. They had been extremely passive in the war between the six Ancient God Clans and the Ziwei Segmentum, yet none of them dared to try to get inside Ziwei Segmentum. There, Ye Futian was its absolute master, and once they got in, it was very possible that they would never be able to come back out alive.
The truth was that Tianyan City had thought of sending Wang Xiao to the Ziwei Segmentum with the imperial arms, but the City Lord of Tianyan was reluctant to run that risk. Although Wang Xiao was extremely powerful with the imperial arms, if some unforeseen situations were to occur, and Wang Xiao perished in the Ziwei Segmentum, it was not a price that Tianyan City could endure.
Therefore, Tianyan City would not risk it.
After all, the land of the Original Realm was still Ye Futian’s old stomping ground, and it was extremely unfavorable for them. If they were to pressure Ziwei Segmentum, the only solution was to prepare for a long and drawn-out blockade to wait out Ziwei Segmentum.
For the moment, the six Ancient God Clans could not think of a better solution.
As far as Tianyan City was concerned, there was another scenario, and that was when Wang Xiao broke through his realm. As long as Wang Xiao had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, who else in this world could stop Wang Xiao with the prowess of the imperial arms in hand?
Even Ye Futian, who relied on the will of Ziwei the Great, would die without question.
This battle, for the six Ancient God Clans, may be a long and protracted one. They had never been pressed to this kind of desperation!
