Chapter 2653: Desolation

The City Lord of Tianyan died on his knees!

There was a dead silence inside the City Lord’s Office. All the fighting had ceased as everyone looked at the place where Wang Zhan had perished. There were cracks on the ground, causing the entire City Lord’s Office to split.

The faces of everyone in the Wang family were full of despair. Even the people from the Imperial Palace in the Divine Prefecture could not stop Ye Futian’s slaughter, and no one tried to save them.

Tianyan City Lord’s Office was left to be slaughtered by the others, without any ability to fight back. Once upon a time, Tianyan City was a flourishing principality that was respected. Anyone from the City Lord’s Office, especially the descendants of the Wang family, was proud and confidant. Wherever they went, they were held in high esteem and admired.

Who would have thought that a day like this would be possible?

All because of a cultivator from the Original Realm. Who was the one responsible for this calamity?!

The cultivators outside the City Lord’s Office were speechless as well. They were witnessing the demise of the City Lord’s Office. The fact remained that the entire Tianyan City was controlled by the City Lord’s Office. The destruction of the City Lord’s Office at this moment was incredibly poignant in its sorrow.

This also meant that the glory of Tianyan City had disappeared forever.

From now on, Tianyan City would no longer be the main city of Tianyan Domain and would never return to its former glory.

The cultivators from the Imperial Palace and the Tianyan Domain Chief’s Manor lowered their heads to look there, coming to the same conclusion in their hearts. No one could have dissuaded Ye Futian from destroying Tianyan City, and no one could stop him. If they had insisted, Ye Futian would probably have no qualms combatting them with the imperial arms. No one here would dare to claim they could counter Ye Futian’s attack with the imperial arms. After all, his strength was already at the peak, and only someone at Fang Ru’s level could even attempt a try.

Even if there was anger, they could only watch everything happening in front of them. Unfortunately, the Great Emperor had promised not to raise his hand against Ye Futian, or else he could never have acted with such impunity.

After Ye Futian had executed Wang Zhan, the City Lord of Tianyan, he looked at the cultivators in front of him as he levitated in the sky, surveying the vast City Lord’s Office. He said, “Uncle Tie, direct the others to collect all the valuable divine arms, armoring methods, and materials in Tianyan City.”

“Yes,” Blind Tie acknowledged. He took several people with him as their divine consciousness moved through the City Lord’s Office and began plundering.

“Whoever makes a move will be killed without mercy!” Ye Futian announced as he glanced at the crowd beneath him. The cultivators inside Tianyan City Lord’s Office had no other choice but to watch everything happening in front of their eyes.

It’s over! the cultivators outside Tianyan City Lord’s Office secretly exclaimed to themselves. All the treasures and possessions accumulated over the years by Tianyan City Lord’s Office would be all for naught, plundered now by Ye Futian. Indeed, he could not let go of these treasures.

Previously, some of them still harbored the slightest hope that perhaps they would have a chance to partake in the treasure, but they seemed to be grossly overestimated the situation. Ye Futian wanted to take all of them himself.

Roars came out one after another, as many buildings were being crushed. The treasure trove inside the City Lord’s Office was excavated. As the premier holy land for armoring in the Divine Prefecture, its resources were rich and bountiful. Now that Ye Futian had established the Armoring Palace in Ziwei Imperial Palace, how could he possibly ignore the resources available in Tianyan City?

Du You and the others watched all this happen, with extremely terrible expressions on their faces. Tianyan City, as the holy land for armoring in the Divine Prefecture, was part of the Divine Prefecture’s territory. Ye Futian’s act of pillaging seemed to want to clean everything out and take them away.

“Ye Futian, you are looting openly here in front of the people from Divine Prefecture; it is unseemly.” The Chief of the Tianyan Domain Chief’s Manor remarked in a low voice that he disapproved of what Ye Futian was doing.

Ye Futian glanced at him coldly and said, “How did the City Lord of Tianyan deal with me in the past, and why did Tianyan City fight against Ziwei so many times? Don’t tell me you have no idea what was the reason behind that.”

The City Lord of Tianyan wanted to rob him of everything he had—his inherited resources from the Great Emperors and his divine body.

Now, he was merely treating the opponent in like manner. The winner was the king over the losers. He had achieved what the City Lord of Tianyan could not.

The Chief of Tianyan Domain had no response. He knew what Ye Futian was saying was true. The motivation behind the repeated attacks geared toward Ye Futian from the Ancient God Clans and other forces was for the resources he possessed. Now, they were tasting the bitter fruits of revenge, which caused the fall of the entire Tianyan City.

Now, no matter what Ye Futian wanted to do, no one had the right to judge him. All of this was exactly what Tianyan Domain had wanted to do to him.

More importantly, who could stop Ye Futian even if they disagreed with him?

After a while, Blind Tie and the others finished collecting and returned to Ye Futian’s side. He said, “Palace Lord, it has been mostly cleaned up.”

“Good,” Ye Futian nodded. Then he continued to give orders, “Those cultivators from Tianyan City Lord’s Office who are above the realm of Renhuang, follow me to Ziwei Segmentum. Those who are below the realm of Renhuang will be spared; I advise you not to squander this opportunity.”

Coercion shrouded the entire Tianyan City. Some of the cultivators in Tianyan City were in total despair, but others were hopeful. At least, Ye Futian had spared those below the realm of Renhuang and seemed to have no plans to kill them. But, what about those above the realm of Renhuang?

What did Ye Futian want with them in Ziwei Segmentum?

Of course, they would not be there as guests. When they went to Ziwei Segmentum, they would undoubtedly become Ye Futian’s captives, and their lives were held in the hands of the others. However, could they afford to say no?

Their lives were held in the hands of other people, and Ye Futian had already been more than gracious, sparing the lives of their descendants and progenies. If they antagonized Ye Futian further, they might put their lives at risk.

“I don’t have a lot of time.” Seeing that no one had responded, Ye Futian continued in an icy tone, causing the cultivators in Tianyan City Lord’s Office to shudder. Then a group of them levitated into the air, all of them were Renhuang level cultivators.

“We’ll go with you,” an old man said. It seemed as if he was the leader of the remaining survivors; his cultivation was at the peak of Renhuang.

In the preceding battle, cultivators above the realm of Renhuang had already been killed; there were not many of them, to begin with. Once they were targeted by the people from Ziwei Segmentum, there was no way they could survive. Cultivators at that level posed a certain level of threat and could not be spared. Even kept as prisoners, it would be a concern and run a much more significant risk of something going awry in the future.

With the current power of Ziwei Segmentum, cultivators in the Renhuang Realm were much easier to control. Now the cultivators of the Tribulation Plane in Ziwei Segmentum had formed an amazing group, with even more people at the peak of Renhuang. Many people had stuck at that level.

Therefore, when brought to Ziwei Segmentum, cultivators at this level could be easily controlled.

Lord Chen and Blind Tie lead the way forward, and their aura of the Great Path shrouded those Renhuang, controlling them.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian said. Then, people left, taking away all the Renhuang in Tianyan City Lord’s Office.

Countless people in Tianyan City witnessed all this and watched them leave. After a while, the group disappeared from sight.

Looking back, everyone saw that the Tianyan City Lord’s Office was now in ruins, and they couldn’t help but lament its fate.

Here, it used to be the most glorious place in all of Tianyan City. For a while, it was so prosperous that it had even overwhelmed the Domain Chief’s Manor in Tianyan Domain.

In the last Armorer Competition, Tianyan City invited everyone from the Divine Prefecture to observe the ceremony. The Imperial Palace had dispatched emissaries, Donghuang Diyuan arrived in person, and Wang Xiao’s name was known all over the world. At that time, the prestige of Tianyan City had reached its epitome. But it was also on that day that Ye Futian appeared and fought against Wang Xiao.

It was as if that day was a turning point. From that moment forward, Tianyan City went from its peak to its decline.

Today, the City Lord of Tianyan and the old City Lord were both slain, and all of their Tribulation Plane cultivators had fallen. Even their Renhuang had been taken away, and everything in Tianyan City Lord’s Office was plundered. Tianyan City Lord’s Office had no value to speak of anymore.

Some were weeping quietly inside the City Lord’s Office, while some roared in anger. Either way, all anyone could feel was a deep sense of sadness.

“City Lord’s Office in Tianyan City is one of the principalities in the Divine Prefecture. The Imperial Palace and the Domain Chief’s Manor are both here. Why don’t you stop him?” Even at this moment, some fearless young man raised his head to look at the cultivators looming high above the sky. He questioned them in an accusatory tone.

His eyes were glowing with a bloody light; he was so enraged by anger that he had lost his ability to reason.

The cultivators of the Imperial Palace and the Domain Chief’s Manor merely lowered their heads and regarded him with pity. They chose not to engage him in his accusations.

“It is Tianyan City’s imperial arms that had done the damage; how can we have stopped it?” one of the men said lightly, and it shut everyone up in the area below. It seemed that it finally dawned on them that it was their imperial arms, the Sky Tremoring, that had spelled their doom…

If it weren’t for the Sky Tremoring, they would probably still have the power to fight and not be in this miserable predicament.

So, was all this the fault of their ancestor, Tianyan the Great?

How sad!

The Imperial Palace and the Domain Chief’s Manor cultivators also began to go, leaving the desolate City Lord’s Office behind. After they left, the cultivators outside the City Lord’s Office were tempted to venture inside themselves. Some cultivators entered into the City Lord’s Office, wanting to see if there were any other treasures left to be had.

Items that Ziwei Segmentum didn’t think worthy didn’t mean that they weren’t valuable to others.

This City Lord’s Office was full of treasures.

“What are you guys doing?” The people inside the City Lord’s Office asked them coldly. At this time, were these men prepared to rob them at their most desperate hours?

No one paid any heed to their protest, however. Those who would come in here were those who had ideas of their own. Now that Tianyan City was finished, who would care about those who were left behind?

It was extremely sad to behold.

Cultivators from the Wang family of the City Lord’s Office watched everything that happened with murderous intent in their eyes. These people were even more hateful than Ye Futian. Tianyan City Lord’s Office was once the ruling principality in Tianyan City, the city’s pride, and the entire Tianyan City was under the command of the City Lord’s Office.

Now that the City Lord’s Office had been eradicated, these people were so heartless as to participate in the looting! How cruel was this reality?
