After Zhou Muhuang left, Ye Futian said to those around him, “I’ll go and deal with this.”

“How?” Old Ma asked him.

“I didn’t deliberately plunder the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor. The sacred remains were guarded by the entire Shangqing Domain and couldn’t be taken away at will. Now, it will be returned to them,” said Ye Futian.

Old Ma nodded. He knew very well that the sacred remains had being watched over by all the top figures in the domain, and it was pretty much impossible for anyone to take it for themselves.

…

Outside of Four Corner Village, after Zhou Muhuang came out, everyone’s attention turned to him. But Zhou Muhuang merely said, “Everyone, take care of this matter however you see fit.”

When his voice fell, people from all forces suddenly had a cold expression on their faces as they stared in the direction of Four Corner Village.

Did Zhou Muhuang mean that he would not interfere and they should do whatever needed to be done?

This made them wonder, what did Zhou Muhuang and Futian talk about after he entered the village?

Before, the Domain Chief’s Manor was still quite smitten with Ye Futian; however, now it seemed that they were not going to get involved, after all.

Of course, they could see that the Chief did not detain Old Ma was giving Ye Futian a chance to breathe.

But none of this mattered anymore.

There were more and more people inside Four Corner City. Major figures had arrived one after another, including the cultivators from the ancient royal family of Duan, which had brought along the others in Four Corner Village, as well as Xia Qingyuan.

Seeing the situation here, all of them wore a worrisome look. The situation seemed very unfavorable.

The people in Four Corner City kind of knew what had happened. Ye Futian had, in fact, seized the sacred remains from the Shangqing Continent, which ignited public outrage.

This proud son of heaven who made his name in Four Corner Village was causing upheavals everywhere he went. There were all kinds of top figures in the Shangqing Continent, including major forces, and Ye Futian had snatched the sacred remains.

At this time, someone cast a glance at Fang Huan and the others from Four Corner Village. “Go in and tell them to turn him over. If any of you insist on sheltering Ye Futian, we’ll have no choice but to go in ourselves.”

Both Blind Tie and Fang Huan looked grave. The current situation was indeed quite disadvantageous to them.

At this moment, several people walked out of the village, and the person in the lead was Ye Futian. Old Ma followed next to him, and behind them were the sacred remains, shrouded and bound by traces of magical power.

“Huh?” The sight surprised many. Hadn’t the sacred remains been swallowed by Ye Futian? And here they were again!

Could Ye Futian be swallowing and heaving up the sacred remains at will?

Moreover, he was able to control the terrifying power of the sacred remains and brought them outside. Had Ye Futian already refined the power within the sacred remains?

Ye Futian stepped into the void and surveyed the crowd. “Some issues occurred while I was cultivating a while back. It was not my intention to take away the sacred remains. I apologize for the trouble that led all of you here. I will return sacred remains momentarily and send them to the Shangqing Continent.”

As Ye Futian finished speaking, everyone’s eyes were on him. Those sharp eyes seemed to want to see through him. An immeasurable pressure permeated from the void to oppress this vast area outside of Four Corner Village.

“How did you manage to take away the sacred remains?” the Nanhai Family clan leader questioned him. The strong pressure in his voice directly descended upon Ye Futian.

Ye Futian could resonate with the sacred remains and even swallow the sacred remains. This meant that there must be a secret method hidden on him. Naturally, he wanted to know just how Ye Futian was able to achieve this impossible deed.

He and all the others from other principalities, who were standing high above the sky overlooking Ye Futian’s, also wanted to know the answer.

It was difficult before to get an answer out of him by force but now was a great opportunity to interrogate him once and for all.

Could they master Ye Futian’s method so that they, too, could comprehend something from the sacred remains?

“This has to do with the methods of my own cultivation. Forgive me for not being able to divulge,” responded Ye Futian.

“The sacred remains have been swallowed by you already. Now even if you release it, who knows if you are controlling it?” The clan leader of the Nanhai Family continued. His gaze never left Ye Futian.

“I think so as well.” A voice echoed the sentiment. It was the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud. His eyes rimmed with a solitary chilling light. He stood high above the sky and stared at Ye Futian below. Everyone experienced a chill.

The cultivators from the other forces obviously didn’t want to let it go, either. Several cultivators spoke up and all for one purpose—to force Ye Futian to tell them how he could resonate with the sacred remains.

However, Ye Futian had no way to give them an answer.

“Through my own cultivation, I was able to comprehend the power of the sacred remains. I developed a certain resonance with the power of the sacred remains. This kind of cultivation method cannot be duplicated. All you elders are major cultivators in your own right and have your own methods of cultivation. I believe you, too, will eventually find a way to comprehend the sacred remains in your own ways.” Although Ye Futian was extremely displeased, he had no choice but to control it, for the time being, suppressing what he really thought of them.

However, his words were clearly not convincing enough. Those gazes that stared at him seemed to want to completely extract his secrets and control his method of comprehending the sacred remains.

“All the cultivators in the Shangqing Domain, myself included, could not control the sacred remains, except you alone were able to swallow the sacred remains and took it away all by yourself. Now, how could we simply believe it was just a cultivation method?” An indifferent voice was rebuking him. Clearly, none of them intended to let Ye Futian off the hook.

“Then, what do the elders have in mind?” Ye Futian asked, looking up at the people in the void.

These top figures stood arrogantly in the air, looking down at him, indifference in their eyes. The Domain Chief did not come this time and was represented by the Vice Chief, Zhou Muhuang. However, he seemed to be just an observer at this time, quietly watching on the sideline.

Ye Futian understood that Zhou Muhuang would not intervene. In the village just now, Zhou Muhuang’s attempt was probably to give him a chance to get out of it.

Perhaps he had foreseen this predicament.

“Take a walk with us,” said the clan leader of the Nanhai Family. Not only did he intend to get the sacred remains back, but he also wanted to take Ye Futian with them. He had plundered the sacred remains and escaped back to Four Corner Village. Now, he thought he could end the matter by simply returning the sacred remains? It was not going to be so easy for him.

Ye Futian fell silent. He looked at the clan leader of the Nanhai Family and thought that if he were to promise to go with them, would he ever come back alive?

These people wanted to know the secret of his comprehension of the sacred remains, and they would no doubt probe into his innermost secrets. Therefore, if Ye Futian agreed, it would result in his almost-certain death.

Furthermore, he trusted none of these people.

However, even if he disagreed, could he resisted the will of the cultivators in the entire Shangqing Domain as represented by them?

If he couldn’t change their minds, resistance was the only way.

“Please forgive me for not agreeing to your request,” Ye Futian replied after a moment of silence. When he finished speaking, the space suddenly became even more repressed. Traces of extremely powerful coercion permeated the entire Four Corner Village, inside and out.

TIn the distance, the cultivators of Four Corner City sighed when they saw the terrifying group in the void. It was as if all the cultivators of an entire domain had deemed Ye Futian as their enemy and came together to take him down. How could he resist a force like that?

“Everyone, the taking of the sacred remains was not intentional. Now that it is to be returned to you, none of this is necessary,” Old Ma said, stood not far behind Ye Futian, looking at the cultivators in the void.

Did all of them intend to take down Ye Futian?

Perhaps this was what they meant when they say the tallest tree always got its top blown off first.

“It’s just asking him to come with us and talk. What are you so afraid of?” the Nanhai Family said nonchalantly.

“No one from our Four Corner Village can be taken away so casually!” erupted Old Ma. However, facing the titans of the Shangqing Domain, even Old Ma appeared slightly insignificant at the moment. Any one of these cultivators was someone who could dominate an era on their own.

When they heard Old Ma’s words, all of them appeared somewhat in disdain. They merely glanced at him indifferently and said, “If Four Corner Village wants to get involved, don’t blame us later.”

After that, he asked, “Who among you will go get him?”

None of these top figures wanted to make a move on Ye Futian. After all, it was not so honorable to take down someone younger than they were, so they hinted for someone in the younger generations from various forces to take action.

Several cultivators stepped out at the same time to answer his call, and they were all top figures from every one of the forces present. Among them, there was Mo Ke of the Demon Cloud. He possessed a perfect Great Path in the Eighth Realm, which was the same as Blind Tie.

Looking down at Ye Futian, Mo Ke said, “I don’t know what power you gained by devouring the sacred remains.”

After that, he raised his hand and grabbed towards the sky below. This terrifying great hand was like a demonic handprint. It flashed a terrible dark golden light and descended in front of Ye Futian, grabbing at him.

Blind Tie and the others mobilized at the same time. A terrifying golden hammer exploded with astounding divine light, sweeping out as the hammer smashed on that demonic handprint. A frightening sound was heard as a horrific storm swept through the surrounding area.

At the same time, many cultivators from Four Corner Village stepped out and stood behind Ye Futian, staring at the figure in the void.

The clan leader of the Nanhai family sneered when he saw them. Four Corner Village wanted to get involved?

If so, that would be even better.

Boom… A horrific aura permeated the atmosphere, and dominating figures stepped out from the void one after the other. Muyun Lan was also among them. This time, his opponents were cultivators from Four Corner Village. They were his former acquaintances.

Watching the cultivators from all sides coming at them, Old Ma sighed inside. The sacred remains had been returned, but were they still reluctant to drop the whole thing?

Four Corner Village owed Ye Futian a favor, so, in any case, they could not let the others take him away!
