Chapter Eighty-One: Ye Wen Tian

  The man in white was tall and majestic, with a clear face, looking around thirty years old. His eyes were very calm, without any murderous aura, but it made the King of Chu feel as if two sharp swords were pressed against his throat.

  His throat was trembling, a boundless fear spreading in his heart, but suddenly he thought of himself as the king of this land, and being so afraid was really losing dignity. With a stern face, he said: "Who are you, daring to break into the king's bedroom? You're really reckless, unaware of life or death."

  "Someone's coming, an assassin."

  The King of Chu let out a loud roar, flipped over and got out of bed, grabbed a long sword placed beside the bed with one hand, pointed the sword tip at him from afar, saying: "You dare to intrude into my palace, you deserve to die ten thousand times!"

  Bang!

  The grand gate of the palace was pushed open, followed by a series of footsteps and several figures flashing by so quickly that they couldn't be seen clearly, obviously some masters had arrived.

  The man in white didn't flinch, not even looking at those people, still quietly staring at the King of Chu. His eyes made him tremble, and the long sword in his hand was shaking. "Take him down, take him down for me!"

  "Seize the assassin!" a commander of the Imperial Guard shouted, as his guards swarmed forward.

  The man in white still stood there, and when the Imperial Guards rushed over, his sleeves moved slightly, like a gentle breeze passing by. All the Imperial Guards suddenly froze in place, feeling a soft and gentle aura enveloping them. The next moment, their bodies were locked up, unable to move even a little bit, but they didn't feel any discomfort all over their body.

  "You... are you Ye Wen Tian?" One of the three elderly men standing beside King Chu, a strong master from the Protecting Country Hall who had arrived in time, narrowed his eyes and said coldly. As for the Imperial Guards suddenly freezing in place, motionless, he was puzzled but thought that the person before him must have made some secret move to achieve this effect.

  The man in white didn't answer, he just gave a indifferent glance at the old man.

  "That's right, you are Ye Xun Tian from Lin Cheng's Ye family. I once saw you in Lin Cheng and I will never mistake you for someone else. Your Ye family openly rebelled against the Lord of Lin Cheng and the King of Chu has not yet punished you, but you dared to sneak into the palace at night, which is truly a heinous crime. Tonight, you won't be able to escape with your life, Ye Xun Tian. I heard that in Lin Cheng, you are considered the strongest, but tonight, I will use only one hand to subdue you and make you understand that there are people outside of people and heavens beyond heaven."

  A fifty-year-old man's voice was cold and stern, with a strong sense of superiority, his body moved, and he stretched out his hand. A green light flashed, and a wooden attribute spirit power transformed into a large hand that fell from the sky, wanting to suppress Ye Wentian.

  Ye Wen Tian gazed at the old man without a word, his eyes shifting, and in an instant, a loud explosion sounded, causing the large green hand that was about to fall to disintegrate and disappear into thin air. At the same time, the old man's eyes were filled with an unprecedented sense of terror, as if countless sharp blades had pierced his body, tearing him apart from the inside out. A sudden surge of swelling sensation erupted, and then his body exploded with a loud bang, without any blood or flesh, all of which had turned into nothingness in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

  "You... you..." The King of Chu's whole body trembled with fear, unable to utter a single complete sentence. He had never seen such a terrifying person before. A single glance was enough to make the strongest warrior in the Protecting Nation Hall, one who had been through two life-and-death struggles, turn to dust and disappear without even leaving behind any ashes. It was truly too frightening.

  "Protect the king!" Another elder of the Guardian Hall pushed the King of Chu towards his companions and himself jumped up, striking out with a dozen or so fists in a row. Each fist was incredibly powerful, with blue light transforming into huge snakes that opened their mouths wide to swallow Ye Wen Tian whole. The entire palace was filled with water spiritual energy, like a turbulent sea wave, as if it had transformed into a vast expanse of blue.

  Ye Wen Tian's white clothes fluttered like snow, his collar gently swaying. In an instant, the entire royal palace seemed to have undergone a violent earthquake, all the buildings shaking left and right as if they were about to collapse at any moment. A peerless and invincible aura that brooked no disobedience enveloped an area of three thousand miles in the blink of an eye.

  Everything, whether human or beast, cowered on the ground, trembling with fear, their souls quaking, unable to muster even a hint of resistance, only terror and submission.

  Inside the palace, the blue spiritual energy cracked like glass, and all attacks collapsed. The dozen or so water spirit snakes let out a mournful cry and disappeared into light rain. The old man who had made the move gradually faded away, as if he had flown up to heaven, with blue light rain floating all over his body, merging into the void. His entire person became transparent, and finally, like a shadow illuminated by sunlight, he vanished.

  The King of Chu was trembling all over, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, and he had lost control of his bowels. A foul smell filled the air as he trembled with fear, saying: "True God, I...I have sinned, I have blasphemed your divine power, please forgive me, True God, please forgive me. I swear that from now on, I will treat the Ye family well, and they will become the rulers of Lin City. The position of city lord is still vacant, isn't it? I will immediately order someone to deliver a decree to let the Ye family take over the position of city lord, just please forgive me, True God."

  The King of Chu was so frightened that he didn't dare to utter a word, his head hung low, trembling violently, and big drops of sweat fell to the ground with a pattering sound. After a long time, he still hadn't heard Ye Wen Tian's response, so he mustered up the courage to lift his head and look around, but there was no sign of Ye Wen Tian anywhere.

  Ye Wen Tian stepped into the void as soon as he finished speaking those words to the King of Chu, disappearing without a trace, and it was unknown how many thousands or tens of thousands of miles away he had gone.

  The King of Chu fell to the ground with a thud, panting heavily, feeling as if his heart was about to burst. He had just felt death's presence so close, but in the end he managed to preserve his life, and his heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

  Ye Wen Tian was incredibly powerful, from start to finish he didn't utter a word, nor did he move a single finger, yet the King of Chu deeply understood that even if a million-strong army were here, or all the strong warriors of the Protecting Country Hall gathered together, they wouldn't be enough for him to lift a finger.

  Ye Wen Tian's strength has far exceeded Chu Wang's understanding of cultivators, even the super strong ones mentioned by some talented disciples in the royal and ministerial families who cultivate in blessed lands are not as terrifying and unfathomable as Ye Wen Tian.

  The King of Chu's clothes were all soaked, as if he had just crawled out of a pool. His hair was also drenched with sweat and stuck to his skin. For the first time, he felt that death was so terrible. He immediately got up and shouted: "Come on, prepare the dragon embroidery silk, four treasures of the study, and the imperial jade seal."

  At this time, the Imperial Guards finally regained their freedom from the seal. They naturally felt that breath just now. After the seal was lifted, they all fell to the ground, not just them, but the entire city of Wang at this time could stand up. There were only a few people who seemed to have lost power.

  A eunuch rushed in, stumbling and staggering, and presented the things that King Chu needed. He immediately waved his brush and wrote a sacred decree, ordering the strong men of the Protect-the-Nation Hall to personally rush to Lin City overnight, and read out the sacred decree within the shortest possible time.

  Those powerful men in the Hall of Protecting the Country still had their hearts racing wildly, the aura from earlier was too terrifying, completely beyond their imagination. At this moment, after receiving the order from King Chu, they didn't dare ask any questions and directly rushed out of the imperial city, hurrying towards Lin City.

  It's not hard to guess that it's because of the matter of the royal palace coming tonight, after all, that aura is emitted from the royal palace.

  The city of Chu, today is destined to be an unforgettable day. Within a radius of three thousand miles, whether it's the city or villages and towns, all people, all livestock, are all kowtowing. People are sincere in their attitude, like devout believers, until that aura completely disperses and disappears without a trace before they get up.

  Thus, on the second day, a message spread out from the Chu Wang City that a true god had descended upon the palace of the King of Chu the previous night. The true god was benevolent and released divine aura, all living beings worshipped, and the divine aura could drive away evil and calamity, ensuring longevity for humans.

  In the distant north, several thousand miles away from Chu land, at the outer edge of a forbidden area near the border between Dongzhou and Beijiang, Ye Wentian stood on the summit of a mountain peak in white clothes that shone like snow. He gazed far into the distance at a purple palace on the opposite mountain peak, where a woman with a light veil covering her face was standing. "Xiaoyu, go back," he said. "Chen'er is about to leave Ye's house, and I won't be returning for a while either. Take Nanyan to Linglong Island and settle her in safely before coming here again. The sacred tomb won't open within the next few months."

  "That's good, Xiaoyu will go to the Ye family to pick up Nan'er." Yuling said softly, "Ye big brother, you have to be careful now, your current strength is not as strong as before. You must pay attention to the existence in 'Henggu Absolute Domain', don't enter it alone, and don't let sister worry."

  "Yao'er, how is she now?" Ye Qiantian's voice was filled with deep longing.

  "Sister's body now looks like it has been over ten years old, the soul imprint has long been awakened, and her strength is recovering continuously. Xiaoyu thinks that in a few more years, she will be able to leave the Great Dao Sacred Liquid and reunite with you. At that time, help Brother Ye regain everything he lost and restore his former unparalleled magnificence."

  "Those majestic years have passed for tens of thousands of years..." Ye Wentian's voice merged into the void, as if the sound of the Heavenly Dao was shaking, "In the future, I will also set foot on the peak of the Great Dao, and take another step forward from the hundred-foot pole. The difficulty of fate, the Sacred Emperor buried his bones, the Great Dao has a flaw, and the cycle has no gate. This is a phrase that has been passed down for millions of years in the Longevity Continent, but it was still broken, only my price was too great, with the eight great origins as the price..."

  "Everyone is waiting for this life, isn't it? The unparalleled Holy Emperor stunned the ages, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten lands, suppressing all the heavens of the past. She was also buried in that era, I don't know if there are still people alive from the previous dynasty..." Yuling said with a sigh.

  "I can deceive heaven, and others can too." Ye asked Tian calmly, "In the world of saints and emperors, they cannot coexist. Once someone attains the saint emperor, other astonishing talents can only take another path, attain the emperor position, although also invincible, but still has a big gap with the saint emperor. This is the flaw of the great way, this flaw is not always so..."

  "Brother Ye, are you saying..." Yuling's heart skipped a beat, as if she had caught something from Ye Wentian's words.
