Many people looked at Yu Sheng, speechless. They then looked at Ye Futian, feeling unsettled. They didn’t know why the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall was like this but one fact was undeniable. Ye Futian had done something no one from the Eastern Barren Territory had ever done before. All these years, countless talents had come to the Stone Wall to undergo the test but no one had done what Ye Futian did today.
They remembered how Tang Ye had come and arrogantly humiliated Ye Futian. Xiao Wuji had wanted to comprehend the statue so Tang Ye told Ye Futian to move.
Hua Qingchi of the Donghua Clan had told Ye Futian that he’d have no more chances if he missed this. He’d told Ye Futian to take this chance to join the Donghua Clan as if it was charity.
Everyone was competing for Xiao Wuji.
Looking at Ye Futian now, no one could compose themselves. Liu Chenyu was the same. She stared at that handsome figure. That day, he’d become furious, beating the drums sixteen times and shattering them. Then he’d left an eight-inch Image on the Wall and controlled the flame statue to burn off Li Daoyun’s arm. He was impossibly wild but just as everyone was expecting him to go to the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, he stopped. Many thought he’d lost confidence but what about now?
No one knew what he was thinking.
She then looked at Yu Sheng, Hua Jieyu, and Ye Wuchen. These four had shaken the Ancient Barren World in the name of Cangye. Their names would appear in all the forces of the Eastern Barren Territory. Perhaps Ye Wuchen really didn’t underestimate the Eastern Barren Territory but he was confident that Ye Futian and Yu Sheng could sweep through with their talent. No one could surpass them. And everything that Ye Futian had done seemed to prove this.
What will these people from the Cangye Kingdom accomplish in the future? Liu Chenyu thought, looking at them.
Gu Biyue also looked at the group. She felt regret. Ye Futian’s group was more talented than she’d imagined. If she’d known this, she would have used a different method. With her tactics, she could at least be equal with Liu Chenyu.
“We’ve completed our goal here. We should head back,” Ye Futian suddenly said. Everyone’s eyes constricted. Head back? Was he not going to choose a clan?
Yu Sheng and the others understood what Ye Futian meant.
“Are you going back to Cangye?” Liu Chenyu came up and asked.
“Yeah,” Ye Futian said, smiling. “The year is ending. I must go back to see the elders.”
“Why don’t you come to the Liu Kingdom? I can send strong cultivators to help you back,” Liu Feiyang said, walking up. He didn’t ask Ye Futian to join his kingdom. Since Ye Futian said he would return to Cangye, it meant that he didn’t want to choose a clan. If he hounded Ye Futian to choose, it would be worse.
“I can’t take rewards without doing anything.” Smirking, Ye Futian said to Liu Chenyu, “Of course, if you want to find a husband, we can be a family.”
Liu Chenyu was speechless. She glanced at Ye Wuchen, who was also looking embarrassed.
“I’m fine with that.” Liu Feiyang smiled at Ye Futian and the two men exchanged glances, eyes shining.
Liu Chenyu was even more speechless. They were fine but did they ever ask her opinion?
“Wuchen, decide if we should leave from the Liu Kingdom.” Ye Futian grinned at Ye Wuchen while Liu Chenyu glared at him. He was doing it on purpose.
“Ye Wuchen,” Liu Feiyang said. “Since you all have decided to return, even if you don’t go from the Liu Kingdom, we also wish to see what Cangye is like. It’s just on the way. There are no feelings in it.” His words intrigued many. He seemed to be hinting at something.
“Okay, we’ll go from the Liu Kingdom.” Ye Wuchen nodded.
After shocking the Eastern Barren Territory with the name of Cangye and Ye Futian wanted to go back, Ye Wuchen obviously knew what he was planning. He wanted to get rid of Cangye’s potential threat. After this, no one in the Hundred Lands would dare to provoke Cangye. But they weren’t entirely safe on the road before choosing a clan. Considering this, they could depart from the Liu Kingdom with a convoy from them. Whether people from the Ancient Barren World or Emperor Luo wanted to attack them, it would be meaningless.
Even if they owed the Liu Kingdom and didn’t choose them, it was still good to have a friend. Judging from Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu’s attitudes, they’d be happy if they could join. If not, they could still be friends.
Hearing Ye Wuchen’s answer, Ye Futian smiled and said to Liu Chenyu, “Princess, our Wuchen agreed.”
Liu Chenyu didn’t know what to say. “Agreed” could also be interpreted in terms of becoming her husband. Of course, she knew that Ye Wuchen didn’t think that way. He only agreed to depart from the Liu Kingdom.
Glancing at Ye Wuchen, a tinge of shyness appeared in Liu Chenyu’s beautiful features. Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian in reverence. It had been like this before him and Qingxuan, right?
“If that’s the case, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s depart immediately,” Liu Feiyang said, smiling. Ye Futian nodded. The Black Wind Eagle flapped its wings and flew into the air. It had had fun in the Ancient Barren World and it didn’t really want to leave.
“Virgin, what are your plans?” Ye Futian asked Loulan Xue.
“I’ll remain here,” Loulan Xue said. Her mother only told her to train with Ye Futian in the Ancient Barren World, not following him home. Since his lover was here, she naturally wouldn’t follow.
“Alright. Let’s meet again if fate allows it.” Ye Futian nodded and the group embarked.
In the air, Ye Futian looked at Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi. “How is the Cangye Kingdom?”
Ye Lingxi rolled her eyes. So this guy still recognized them? Of course, they weren’t angry. That was just how he was. Everything that had happened moved them as well. They could feel that the Cangye Kingdom was about to change.
Back then, Luo Junlin had returned to the Nandou Nation and strong cultivators of the Royal Xuan Temple had come to tell him to go. Now, Cangye had shocked the Ancient Barren World at the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall.
What was awaiting the Cangye Kingdom if they returned now? Both Ye Lingxi and Ye Danchen were excited.
“When we came, everything was alright but Nandou really seems ready for an all-out war. Of course, we aren’t afraid,” Ye Danchen said.
“Ah.” Ye Futian nodded. After going back, Cangye’s position would be stabilized in the Hundred Lands. No one would go up against them anymore.
The Liu Kingdom had an independent exit from the Ancient Barren World situated in a region of the Barren City. After exiting from it, Ye Futian’s group appeared in the Liu Kingdom’s imperial city. Many strong cultivators were positioned there. The royal family controlled it directly and was close to the palace.
All the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory had their own passageways. The group went straight to the palace. Seeing the majestic building up ahead, Ye Futian smiled and said, “It’ll definitely be nice to be the husband of the Liu Kingdom’s princess.”
Ye Wuchen and Liu Chenyu were used to it now.
“Are you regretting it now?” Hua Jieyu asked Ye Futian with a smile.
“Regret what?” Ye Futian blinked.
“Regretting not marrying a princess.” Hua Jieyu smiled meaningfully.
“No way. There’s only one person in my heart,” Ye Futian said earnestly.
Hua Jieyu was satisfied.
Liu Chenyu looked at Ye Futian. This guy was arrogant but he had someone above him too. Before, he was surrounded by beauties, including the Virgin and Witch. Now…
“What are you looking at me for? I’m not interested in becoming the princess’s husband.” Ye Futian gave Liu Chenyu a look. What was she looking at? Has she never seen a handsome guy?
“Yeah, I know you like servants more. After all, they’ll serve you and massage your shoulders,” Liu Chenyu said.
“I…” Ye Futian was shook. Seeing Hua Jieyu look at him, he said, “Jieyu, how are Master and Masteress? I miss them.”
Hua Jieyu smiled but didn’t reply.
“The weather’s nice today.” Ye Futian looked up at the sky.
Everyone smiled. They’d never seen someone so shameless.
They soon arrived outside the palace and Ye Futian told them to stop. “Let’s just wait here.”
“Won’t you like to see our father?” Liu Feiyang asked.
“There’ll be a chance in the future. We must hurry now,” Ye Futian said, shaking his head. If they met with the king and he invited them to join, what should he do?
“I see. You all stay here, Chenyu as well.” Then Liu Feiyang entered the palace.
After a while, a group came out. The leader was an extremely powerful Noble figure with natural mightiness.
“This is my uncle,” Liu Feiyang explained from the side.”
“Lord,” Ye Futian greeted, bowing.
“No need.” The newcomer waved his hand and studied them. “As expected, you are all cream of the crop. Even I want to see what the Cangye Kingdom is like but unfortunately, I have other matters. You can come visit any time.”
He didn’t invite them to join either. Liu Feiyang clearly said something to him.
“Of course.” Ye Futian nodded.
“Feiyang and Chenyu will accompany you all there and bring some of the good stuff from Cangye,” the lord joked. Other than Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu, he also had many Noble figures behind him. They would escort Ye Futian’s group back to the Cangye Kingdom.
Clouds rolled in the sky and a demon appeared, rushing down. It was huge and looked both like a fish and roc. The feathery wings unfurled like a huge cloud. It was a Kunpeng, a whale roc demon.
“Thank you, Brother Kun,” the lord said to the demon.
“It is fine,” the Kunpeng said in the human tongue. It then landed in the empty space beside Ye Futian’s group.
A Noble-level demon. Ye Futian’s group all focused on it.
“Let’s go,” Liu Feiyang said. Ye Futian nodded and they all climbed onto the Kunpeng.
The wind whistled and the Kunpeng spread its wings. It charged up and instantly entered the clouds and disappeared!
