Chapter 2569: Catastrophe of Ziwei

After Wang Xiao was defeated, the City Lord of Tianyan, fearing that he would be severely discouraged, tasked him to use the imperial arms to overpower Ziwei and slay Ye Futian to redeem himself.

Wang Xiao could communicate with the imperial arms, he said, and that Wang Xiao was still The Unraveled under the Great Emperors. He used this to encourage and inspire Wang Xiao.

The entire City Lord’s Office was totally depressed. This centennial feast of Tianyan City was perfect until Ye Futian showed up. Everything was going in the direction expected by the City Lord of Tianyan.

However, after Ye Futian showed up, everything went sideways, big time.

Now, they hoped that by razing Ziwei to the ground, Ye Futian’s blood would be enough to make up for the damage he caused at the feast of Tianyan City.

Many cultivators in the Divine Prefecture looked at the City Lord of Tianyan. This decision was made so quickly that it came somewhat unexpected in its sheer cruelty. No wonder he was the one in command of the Ancient God Clan.

At this moment, the City Lord of Tianyan surveyed the crowd and said, “As you have said before, Ye Futian is now a concern for everyone in the Divine Prefecture and must be killed. If not, he will be a great threat to the Divine Prefecture in the future. And who knows how many Holy Lands of Taichu are in the making? Even now, he had already ambushed the Shen Clan and the Sun God Mountain, and who knows how many casualties this has incurred.”

“Tianyan City will fulfill our previous promises. Wang Xiao, as the heir of Tianyan the Great, is the only person who can communicate with the imperial arms. He will bring the imperial arms and lead the cultivators of Tianyan City to vanquish Ziwei. If any forces in the Divine Prefecture wish to join us in the effort of razing Ziwei to the ground, please mobilize your people immediately. We will be gathering in Tianyan City before embarking to Ziwei Segmentum.”

The City Lord of Tianyan’s voice shook the void, and his indifferent voice echoed in the entire Tianyan City, rife with an intense murderous intent.

Wang Xiao would lead Tianyan City, with the imperial arms, to go on an expedition to destroy Ziwei Segmentum.

“If we go to destroy Ziwei, will Ye Futian lead his people to continue these ambushes, just like he did today?” someone asked.

“No, Ziwei Segmentum is his lair right now. There, he can urge the will of Ziwei the Great. Now that he knows of our attacks, Ye Futian will not easily leave the Ziwei Segmentum. Otherwise, it would be as if he has completely given up Ziwei Segmentum, and then what would become of the cultivators in Ziwei Segmentum?” The City Lord of Tianyan continued, “Unless he rebels and decides to side with the Dark World or the Evil Emperor Realm.”

“Un-huh.” All the cultivators nodded.

In the Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian was able to use the will of Ziwei the Great to kill those who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, which they had already known. With such a powerful defensive force, Ye Futian would not be willing to leave the Ziwei Segmentum.

If it was not to join the two other principalities, leaving the Ziwei Segmentum was akin to suicide. Principalities in the Divine Prefecture wanted to destroy them. Ye Futian himself aside, what about the other? How would they escape?

As for Four Corner Village, the teacher and Donghuang the Great had reached a compromise. As long as the teacher would not intervene, Donghuang the Great and the Imperial Palace would not interfere either. However, if the teacher from the Four Corner Village wanted to meddle, he would have difficulty explaining it to Donghuang the Great.

There was no need to worry about all of these, however. Now, it depended on whether Wang Xiao, with the help of the imperial arms, would overpower Ye Futian, who had the will of Ziwei the Great. As long as he could, then Ziwei Segmentum would be destroyed.

Perhaps the Ziwei Segmentum had the power to destroy one principality in the Divine Prefecture, such as the Holy Land of Taichu. But with a conglomerate of the forces within the Divine Prefecture, the power of Ziwei Segmentum was far from enough to overcome them all.

There was only death in their future.

Xi Chiyao frowned slightly. This time the feast at Tianyan City was meant to create the momentum for Wang Xiao to destroy Ziwei. Ye Futian may have suppressed this momentum, but it did not dampen the City Lord’s determination.

The outcome had not changed.

Under this condition, it was hard for her to help Ye Futian.

“The Ziwei Segmentum must be destroyed,” said a cultivator from Haotian can in Nantian Domain spoke at this time.

“If that’s the case, we will have to look to Tianyan City in leading the effort,” Yuanshi Palace of Yuanshi Domain added.

Successively, one after the other followed to express similar sentiments. It was the Ancient God Clan first who wanted to destroy Ziwei.

With the participation of several major Ancient God Clans, some other major forces immediately pledged their allegiance in joining the army of this operation of suppression.

Xi Chiyao sat there quietly and watched all this taking place. She understood that these Ancient God Clans were so proactive in the elimination of Ye Futian was not only because of their grievances. In truth, their grievances with Ye Futian were not as deep as imagined. It was just that one time and could be resolved if they wanted to.

The motivation to destroy Ziwei, grievances aside, was because Ye Futian’s growth would make the Ziwei Segmentum, which he ruled, become a significant threat to the rest of the Ancient God Clans. Then, there was also the matter of the many divine treasures that Ye Futian possessed.

The cultivation world was operated on survival of the fittest, and acts of plunder were common. They wouldn’t mind suffocating a peerless genius talent before his time.

Furthermore, unlike the Shen Clan and the Sun God Mountain, they were not afraid of Ye Futian’s ambush and revenge. It was relatively simple to kill Ye Futian before he had completely developed all his potentials, as there was not much threat. If they waited until Ye Futian survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, it would be conceivably much more difficult.

“How about the West Imperial Palace and the other forces? Don’t you want to participate?” It was the clan leader of Haotian Clan. His eyes fell on the Palace Lord of West Imperial Palace. He asked, “Now that Ziwei Segmentum is a common enemy of the Divine Prefecture, all forces of the Divine Prefecture ought to join hands in their punishment. As one of the Ancient God Clans of the Divine Prefecture, does the West Imperial Palace really intend to side with Ye Futian against everyone?”

“And all the Domain Chief’s Manors and other principalities of the Divine Prefecture as well. The Great Emperor is merciful and agreed not to get involved, but all of you, don’t you want to help the Imperial Palace in getting rid of this thorn?”

Now that these forces decided to participate themselves, it seemed that they loathed seeing anyone else watching from the sidelines, intending to strongarm the entire Divine Prefecture. This way, Ye Futian and Ziwei Segmentum would be facing all of the Divine Prefecture, thus reducing any threat from him.

Even if they couldn’t take him, with Ye Futian being the public enemy of the entire Divine Prefecture, could the Imperial Palace still stand by and do nothing?

A look of annoyance flashed through Xi Chiyao’s beautiful eyes. This Haotian Clan was a little too nosy.

The Palace Lord of the West Imperial Palace glanced at him, only to hear Chief Xihai of the West Sea Domain interrupted at this time, “I heard that Ye Futian personally went to the West Imperial Palace to deliver elixir and was received by the Palace Lord personally. Are the two parties now in an alliance? ”

“Just for mutual benefits, nothing more.” The Palace Lord of West Imperial Palace looked nonchalant as he continued, “Would any of you refuse the offering of Sub-divine elixir?”

“Xi Chiyao had consented to the cooperation with Ye Futian, which made the mutual benefits possible later, but there is no alliance. However, because of this relationship, it is inconvenient for West Imperial Palace to do anything at the moment. We can only wish all of you the best in your endeavor. ”

Naturally, the Palace Lord of the West Imperial Palace knew what to say and what not to say. Ye Futian was being ostracized by the entire Divine Prefecture, so he couldn’t very well divulge the fact that they were in an alliance. But if it was just mutual benefits, who in Divine Prefecture could do anything about that?

“Now that things are coming to an end, West Imperial Palace must be leaving. Thank you for the invitation. We are all very impressed.” The Palace Lord of West Imperial Palace put his hands together in respect for the City Lord of Tianyan. He then looked at Princess Donghuang, “Your Royal Highness, we will take our leave presently.”

Having said that, the Palace Lord of West Imperial Palace left with the cultivators from West Imperial Palace, not willing to jump into this muddy water with the rest of them.

Xi Chiyao left with them, but she was a little worried. The alliance among all the significant forces in the Divine Prefecture to initiate the subjugation of the Ziwei Segmentum would be extremely dangerous this time.

This was the first time anything of this kind had ever happened since Donghuang the Great had unified the Divine Prefecture.

Right after she left, Xi Chiyao immediately notified Ye Futian regarding this latest development.

Although he knew in advance that this might be the outcome of the Armor Competition at Tianyan City, Ye Futian still had a heavy feeling after its confirmation. Next, Ziwei Segmentum would be besieged by all of the Divine Prefecture.

However, he would have no thoughts of compromise. Things as they were, he would have to face them head-on.

It was not as if he had never experienced this kind of crisis. If he were to survive this major catastrophe, in the future, he would make each and every one of these forces in the Divine Prefecture pay, especially Tianyan City.

Ye Futian hurried back to Ziwei Segmentum. At the same time, all the major forces in the Divine Prefecture began to mobilize their forces to meet at Tianyan City. The stage seemed to be set for an impending great battle that would surely shake all of the Divine Prefecture. The cultivators of Tianyan City were all trembling in their hearts, facing the unknown of this predicament.

They could have never expected that the once-a-century Armor Competition in Tianyan City would evolve from a celebration to the dire situation they found themselves in.

After Ye Futian returned to Ziwei Imperial Palace, he waited quietly.

Lord Chen and Hua Jieyu also returned one after another and brought with them many cultivators. They were primarily important figures from the Shen Clan and the Sun God Mountain. However, most of the key figures in these two forces had gone to Tianyan City, thus escaped the invasion and were not captured.

Ye Futian looked at the group of cultivators in front of him with a cold expression and said, “Imprison them. If the Shen Clan and the Sun God Mountain behave themselves, they will be imprisoned here in Ziwei Segmentum. If the two forces attack, they will be the first ones to die.”

“Yes, Palace Lord.”

At this time, Ye Futian was filled with murderous intent. How could he be peaceful when the forces of the Divine Prefecture had launched an attack on him?

“What’s the situation over there?” Lord Chen asked Ye Futian.

Ye Futian frowned slightly and said, “The situation is not good. We must prepare for war. Ziwei Segmentum will face its greatest catastrophe in history.”

Lord Chen looked solemnly at Ye Futian. From Ye Futian’s tone, he could tell the seriousness of the matter.

“This time, all the principalities in the Divine Prefecture, including all the Ancient God Clans, will ally for the sole purpose of attacking Ziwei Segmentum. They are already gathering their forces in Tianyan City,” said Ye Futian. Not long before he left, Xi Chiyao had informed him of this news!
