Ye Futian sensed the demonic might that circled this group of people. From it, he roughly guessed where this group had come from.
Although Ye Futian did not know the identity of the young demonic cultivator before him, there was no doubt that his group was from the Devil World. Otherwise, the entire group would not have such an intense demonic aura.
The cultivators of the Song Imperial City glanced at Ye Futian. They recalled that Mei Ting had also previously come to the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Why had the Devil World cultivators not searched for the relic but instead came here to find Ye Futian? From the expression in the leading youth’s eyes, they were clearly here for him.
Could it be that there was some hidden secret behind this?
The youth walked down towards Ye Futian. Blind Tie, Old Ma, and the others came forward to block him off, but Ye Futian waved his hand slightly. Blind Tie and the others stepped down and did not block the youth from the Devil World, allowing him to descend and land not far from Ye Futian.
The demonic youth said, “College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace, the current ruler of the Original Realm, the top monstrous figure in the Original Realm who obtained the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor and the teachings of Great Emperor Ziwei and Shenyin the Great—Ye Futian.” He seemed to know Ye Futian quite well. The youth from the Devil World already knew all the things that Ye Futian had been through.
Ye Futian looked at the other party. The cultivators from the Devil World who had appeared in the Original Realm before this mainly consisted of Mei Ting. Ye Futian also had some interactions with him. However, that was mainly due to Yu Sheng. Ye Futian never imagined that there were others in the Devil World who paid so much attention to him.
It seemed that Yu Sheng’s status in the Devil World was extraordinary. Otherwise, this youth would not pay so much attention to Ye Futian’s existence.
After all, from the looks of this lineup, the youth from the Devil World in front of him should be an extraordinary figure in the Devil World.
“Who are you, sir?” asked Ye Futian.
“I am Xiao Mu from the Devil World,” replied the youth. Ye Futian might not be aware of the significance of that name, but in the Devil World, this name was already renowned far and wide. He was one of the direct disciples of the Devil Emperor. He had powerful cultivation and extraordinary status.
A direct disciple of the Devil Emperor might inherit the title themselves one day. Whoever was the strongest would have the highest possibility of inheriting it.
“Xiao Mu,” Ye Futian mumbled to himself. He did not know much about the Devil World, so he naturally had not heard of his name. However, from the lineup before him, Ye Futian had his suspicions. He said, “Are you a cultivator from Devil Imperial Palace?”
“I am a disciple of the Devil Emperor,” Xiao Mu replied. The expression of the surrounding cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy immediately turned serious. Compared to the monstrous figures from the Divine Prefecture who came before, the identity of this youth before them was even more spectacular.
Who would dare to offend a disciple of the Devil Emperor so curtly?
Even though Ye Futian had the backing of Master from Four Corner Village, with the other party’s status, it was worthless in their eyes.
Why had such a figure come here?
Ye Futian nodded his head slightly. He had a rough guess as to why Xiao Mu had come.
Now, Ye Futian was somewhat curious. What was his godfather’s status in the Devil World? What about Yu Sheng’s status?
Now, he was certain that his godfather was a cultivator from the Devil World. However, Ye Futian did not know why his godfather had taken care of Yu Sheng and him. What secrets were involved in this? What happened 300 years ago?
Ye Futian believed that it would not be long before he would stumble upon the truth. After all, he could now come in contact with figures at the very top. Even a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor had come looking for him.
When Ye Futian reached the peak of the Renhuang Plane, he would probably have the opportunity to meet the figures at the very top.
“What business do you have with the Heavenly Mandate Academy?” Ye Futian asked as he looked up at Xiao Mu. His voice was very calm. Xiao Mu gave Ye Futian a somewhat strange look. He seemed to look highly upon Ye Futian. As expected of the current top monstrous figure of the Original Realm. Even after hearing who Xiao Mu was, he had actually remained unshaken and was still calm.
The white-haired youth before him was an extremely proud figure.
“I merely came to see what sort of person the young ruler of the Original Realm is like,” said Xiao Mu. As he said this, his jet-black eyes became intense. They were a pair of demonic eyes. He looked towards Ye Futian as demonic might circled around his own figure. A powerful demonic aura flowed frenziedly and began to spread out around him.
There was one part that Xiao Mu had not said out loud. He wanted to see what sort of person that fellow’s best friend was like and where level his cultivation and abilities were.
Ye Futian looked at the other party’s eyes. The pair of deep, demonic eyes was terrifying. They bore endless overbearing pressure. A vast pressure pressed down on Ye Futian’s will. He was put into a hallucination. The person before him was no longer an approachable youth but instead a demon. It stood there towering above all things, gazing down on all existence. The demon faced Ye Futian, and its overbearing pressure pressed down on him. The demonic might could crush a person’s will.
Divine light similarly shot out from Ye Futian’s eyes. It was dazzling. Even amidst the hallucination, Ye Futian stood on his spot quietly. The divine light flowed around him. His white hair and white robe accentuated his unparalleled temperament. It was as though he was a deity. Even when faced with the pressure from a demon, he remained unperturbed, and his facial expression was calm. The overbearing demonic might did not have any effect on him.
Ye Futian had experienced many things to reach his current Plane of cultivation. He had faced the might of the will of the Great Emperors many times. He couldn’t be crushed by Xiao Mu’s will. Even though Xiao Mu’s will was domineering, it alone was not enough to cause Ye Futian’s will to be shaken.
The surrounding cultivators all stood silently as they watched the two figures facing each other head-on. One had black hair and was garbed in a black robe, while the other had white hair and was garbed in a white robe. Both of them were equally outstanding. Their robes fluttered in the wind. They seemed to be looking at each other casually. However, a powerful gale was forming around them and stirring up debris.
Their gazes alone contained such astonishing might. Even the top cultivators could faintly sense a pressure acting on them. They unleashed their auras of the Great Path to block the gale from spreading outwards. Otherwise, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would most likely be ruined by this raging gale.
In the distance, Mei Ting glanced in their direction. As he had speculated, Xiao Mu was here to check Ye Futian out. Xiao Mu was most likely curious about Ye Futian’s ability.
Xiao Mu was naturally doing this because of Yu Sheng.
Rumble. Suddenly, a stronger gale swept out. The demonic might churned and roared. An extremely overbearing aura gushed towards Ye Futian. At the same time, the divine light on Ye Futian’s body grew brighter. Intense rumbling could be heard coming from his body of the Great Path. The gale became more and more violent and enveloped both of them in it. One by one, the top figures in the Heavenly Mandate Academy unleashed their auras. They shielded the entire Heavenly Mandate Academy in a light shroud.
The next moment, Xiao Mu and Ye Futian shot up into the sky. Their speed was frightening. They were akin to two beams of light that shot up into the heavens. They were high above in the sky in an instant. Their raging auras of the Great Path exploded, expanding towards the Heavenly Mandate City!
