The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2455: No Choice

Ye Futian naturally understood that Saint Zhenchan had come here. Ye Futian could also tell how highly the latter viewed him. He would not stop until he took down Ye Futian.

When Ye Futian was under the control of Lord Six Desires in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace, Saint Zhenchan had merely sent messengers to ask that Ye Futian be sent over to Zhenchan Temple. Saint Zhenchan’s attitude was overbearing, and he clearly did not treat the Six Desires Heavenly Palace as an equal.

Now, he had come in person to take Ye Futian back with him. Ye Futian did not know whether or not he should feel honored.

“Greetings, Senior Saint Zhenchan,” Ye Futian greeted as he looked at Saint Zhenchan in the sky. Although Saint Zhenchan was his opponent, he still minded his manners.

However, Saint Zhenchan was not as friendly as Ye Futian was. He gazed down at the figure below. A cold look flashed past in his domineering gaze as he said, “I never thought that Lord Initial Zen would perish to you.”

Saint Zhenchan did not care as to whether Lord Six Desires was dead or alive. However, Lord Initial Zen was considered his junior and was a figure at the level of a Lord. He had fallen to Ye Futian’s scheme and perished. If Ye Futian did not possess so many secrets, Saint Zhenchan would have killed Ye Futian with a single palm strike.

However, he would not do so. Ye Futian still had value.

At least for now, he would not kill Ye Futian.

“Senior Lord Initial Zen had me against the wall. I had no choice,” replied Ye Futian.

Saint Zhenchan naturally ignored Ye Futian’s explanation. He swept a cold and indifferent gaze at Ye Futian and calmly ordered, “Take him away.”

As he said this, Lord Blubber’s smile returned. He said to Ye Futian, “Ye Futian, let’s go.”

As he said this, two top-tier Renhuangs descended and walked towards Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. Their figures floated in the sky above Ye Futian as they said, “Your spiritual soul may return to its original body.”

They said this with a commanding tone. There was no room for negotiation. Although Ye Futian was powerful and could kill existences who had survived the divine tribulation of the Great Path, Saint Zhenchan had come in person. Right now, he did not dare to resist.

That would be suicidal. Under such circumstances, Ye Futian had no choice but to obey and follow them to Zhenchan Temple.

For Ye Futian, he was indeed in dire straits. There was nowhere to run now.

If he obeyed and followed the other party, how would he end up? Hua Jieyu and his fate would be beyond their control. They would be at the mercy of the other party’s whims. Ye Futian had also killed many cultivators from Zhenchan Temple. Would the other party spare him?

Clearly, this was the path to his doom.

On the other hand, if he did not follow the other party, how would he deal with the situation at hand?

Right now, he was in danger of being killed off.

Right now, at this very moment, it seemed that he had reached the end of the line.

He raised his head and looked at the Renhuangs in the sky. They had imposing and overbearing manners. When they faced him, these Renhuangs from Zhenchan Temple bore an air of arrogance. It seemed to be their innate temperament. It might also be because they were from Zhenchan Temple that they acted so high and mighty.

In the sky, various cultivators looked down at them as though they were enjoying a show. Their expressions were cold and indifferent. There was even a look of pity in their eyes, as though they felt sorry for him.

Lord Blubber was still smiling as though he had been doing so forever.

Saint Zhenchan did not even look at Ye Futian, instead turning his back to him. It seemed that he was prepared to leave. No one believed that Ye Futian would refuse and resist. They were all waiting for one outcome: for Ye Futian to disarm himself and obediently follow them to Zhenchan Temple.

Ye Futian suddenly realized that the reason the almighty Saint Zhenchan had come in person, aside from how highly he viewed Ye Futian, was not because he was worried that Lord Blubber could not bring Ye Futian back with him.

Saint Zhenchan might be worried that Lord Blubber would have his own personal agenda.

Hence, he had come in person.

Everything around him seemed to pause. Inside the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, Ye Futian quietly observed all of this as he gradually calmed down.

From the look in his eyes, he actually seemed to gradually ease up.

It was as though he would calmly accept any outcome. Since it had come to this, everything else was meaningless.

“Saint Zhenchan, ever since I arrived in the Western World, everything I did was because my hand was forced. If I willingly hand over the divine body, would you promise to let us two leave?” Ye Futian asked. His voice was extremely calm at this moment. With Saint Zhenchan’s standing, in such a situation before the various cultivators, he would not lie to Ye Futian.

Hence, he asked this final question. It was to give himself an opportunity.

“Are you qualified to negotiate with me?” Saint Zhenchan answered Ye Futian with his back turned towards the latter. His tone was indifferent, without the slightest hint of emotion.

Ye Futian was not qualified to negotiate with him.

“Take him away,” Saint Zhenchan mumbled. Immediately, the two Renhuangs gazed down at Ye Futian and ordered, “Make haste.”

Ye Futian raised his head and swept a glance at them. They were both top-tier Renhuangs and would be considered extraordinary figures wherever they went. They belonged to the group of individuals who stood at the top of the pyramid.

However, right now, Ye Futian’s eyes were filled with a look of cold disdain. Weren’t they relying on Saint Zhenchan’s power to throw their weight around?

If it was just these two Renhuangs without the backing of Saint Zhenchan, would they dare act this way to him?

Even if Ye Futian did not rely on the divine body, killing them both would be child’s play.

“Are the two of you even qualified to order me around?” said Ye Futian. He glanced at the two Renhuangs as ferocious divine light shone from his eyes. Countless runes radiated out from the divine body. In an instant, the two Renhuangs felt themselves descending into the Domain of Path Obliteration. Their expressions changed drastically.

However, it was already too late. Ye Futian immediately raised his hand and clenched his fist. A gigantic hand directly reached out and subdued the two Renhuangs. Beneath the terrifying gigantic hand, the two of them did not have the strength to free themselves at all.

“Presumptuous!” a cultivator in the air chided angrily. Ye Futian actually dared to resist and attack the Renhuangs who were to lead him away. Was he seeking his own death?

Under such circumstances, Ye Futian was actually still resisting?

By following them, there was at least a chance for a different ending for him. However, he was now resisting. Even if he was not concerned about himself, had he not considered the wellbeing of his woman?

Saint Zhenchan also turned around. He clearly had not imagined that Ye Futian would resist now.

“I told you that everything that I have done since I came to Six Desires Heaven was because I was forced to,” Ye Futian said in a voice as cold as ice. He then clenched his fist. A frightening rumbling sound could be heard. The two Renhuangs let out horrifying screams. They immediately perished to the giant hand and were executed on the spot.

In an instant, terrifying auras descended and enveloped the divine body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Even the smile on Lord Blubber’s face had disappeared. He appeared somewhat surprised.

They were surprised why Ye Futian could not read the room and had actually resisted in such a situation. He had even gotten violent and committed murder. Did he wish to be killed?

Saint Zhenchan’s overbearing gaze turned cold. Ye Futian had actually killed his subordinates right before his eyes.

Heavenly might descended. At that moment, the space was filled with endless murderous intent. It made others feel as though their spiritual souls were suffocating!
