1195: Crimson River

Crimson River

The Imperial Advisor of Dali and Yan Yuan, likewise, looked toward Ye Futian. Previously, Ye Futian appeared as the Seventh Swordsman, and the only time Yan Yuan saw his true identity was when he escorted Ye Futian back to Emperor Xia's Realm.

This was the first time that the Imperial Advisor of Dali had seen Ye Futian's true visage, but he still recognized him at first glance. Although his temperament had changed completely, it was still outstanding.

"Ye Futian of Emperor Xia's Realm greets the Imperial Advisor and the Great Teacher." Ye Futian bowed slightly toward the Imperial Advisor and Yan Yuan in the opposite direction.

He referred to himself as Ye Futian of Emperor Xia's Realm was a clear marking of the boundary, as he did not address them as Master or brother any longer.

Respect and boundary were not mutually exclusive.

If they got too close, it might cause trouble instead.

He had sent the message using the fragment of his robe, and the Master should have understood his intention.

Next to him, Xia Qingyuan also looked in the opposite direction and said, "Xia Qingyuan of Emperor Xia's Realm greets the Imperial Advisor of Dali."

The Imperial Advisor looked at the two and nodded with a smile.

"Ye Futian, I once said that the moment you returned to Emperor Xia's Realm, and we met on the battlefield, I would not be merciful. You should be careful in the future," Yan Yuan said to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian smiled and nodded, and replied, "And my response is still the same."

On the side, Li Yao listened to the conversation, looking a little gloomy. Was this a complete disregard of his presence?

From the moment Ye Futian arrived, he did not acknowledge him.

It was as if he didn't exist at all.

How insulting this was.

"Xia Qingyuan, you have received the declaration of war?" Li Yao looked at Xia Qingyuan and asked.

Xia Qingyuan looked coldly at Li Yao. He continued, "What Ye Futian did in Dali is a sin beyond forgiveness. If you are willing to surrender him to us, then we will treat this whole affair as if nothing ever happened. Otherwise, the consequences are yours to bear entirely. "

"After the defeat of the Battle of the Empty Realm, someone was sent to ambush him. They infiltrated deep inside without being detected. Li Yao, where did you get the courage to open your mouth?" Xia Qingyuan continued, "I heard that you have now entered into the Saint Plane, just at the same time that Ye Futian of Emperor Xia's Realm was also entering the Divine Path. Since you can't let this go, you might as well fight a battle to the death. What say you?"

When Li Yao heard Xia Qingyuan's words, his face darkened. To fight to the death against Ye Futian?

Although Li Yao was also quite excellent, to have him face off against Ye Futian in the same realm, he had no confidence in winning at all.

During the battle in the Empty Realm, the battle between Ye Futian and Di Hao was a peerless match. It was rumored that before he became Saint, Ye Futian had forcefully gone to the Xiao Clan and killed Xiao Sheng, who had already entered the Saint Plane.

As a peak sage, he had defeated the existence of a saint and used that battle to enter the Divine Path.

Such was Ye Futian, and how could he fight against that?

"Li Yao, thank you for your generosity while I was at Dali." Ye Futian glanced at Li Yao, and suddenly, Li Yao's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Ye Futian's words inadvertently poked his wound.

"Just wait and see," Li Yao looked down at the Rising Dragon Platform. Ye Futian took out a storage ring, which contained the treasures and sacred spirit stones that he had earned in the last Battle of the Sleeping Dragon. He turned around and looked behind him. He smiled at Situ Yan, saying, "How about doing me a favor?"

"Go ahead," Situ Yan said.

"Put it all on Di Hao," Ye Futian smiled. "You can also make some adjustments, but don't go to the extreme. I don't have absolute confidence this time either and can only say that the chances are good—about 50 percent."

"Alright." Situ Yan nodded. They had missed an opportunity last time; this time, she believed in Ye Futian.

Ye Futian acknowledged di Hao's strength. At that time in Dali Dynasty, besides him, Di Hao was truly invincible. He was the adopted son of King Tiandao, a peerless figure cultivated by Daoli Mountain.

After the defeat of Di Hao in that battle, and after he had cultivated for such a long period, presumably, his realm had advanced, and he must be one of the top figures below the Saint Plane.

Of course, the people who participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon were not weaklings, and there must be stronger opponents, so he did not have absolute assurance.

But Yu Sheng had a significant victory last month at the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon, so Dali had dispatched the likes of Di Hao and the others because they wanted a definitive result and would employ their full capacity. Those who answered the call would not just be Di Hao, but also several other top figures, like Dong Chen.

Therefore, Ye Futian was willing to bet on this opponent. If he lost, it was only the winnings from last time. He did not put any of his capital in and did not ask for Xia Qingyuan for a loan again.

So it was just for the fun of it.

Soon, the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon would erupt, and it would be another raging battle.

Di Hao, Dong Chen, and the others fought for themselves, and their strength had increased compared to before.

Di Hao's God Burying Bell, Tripod of Dragon and Elephant, and the Sword of Kasyapa were all top-notch offensive techniques. When the three major Life Spirits sang in unison, their power of might was amazing beyond belief and was able to defeat the opponents consecutively.

Dong Chen summoned the Dharma Body of the Vajra. Many arms blasted out at the same time, and it was equally overpowering. Even on a stage such as the Battle of Sleeping Dragon, he still belonged with the top characters.

After all, the two of them in Dali were also the ones who could overcome Li Yao.

Furthermore, if it wasn't for the fact that both of them were defeated once, they might have already entered the Divine Path.

Of course, entering the Saint Plane required opportunity and timing, and now that their realm was on par, they were waiting for the right time.

In addition to the two, there was a very strong cultivator that Ye Futian had seen only once before, and they had made exchanges before. It was the swordsman at Daoli Mountain who had first used the Sword of Kasyapa—Seven Sins.

At that time, many thought that he would be the opponent of the premier swordsman of Sword Mountain—Jian Wu. But Ye Futian had seized Jian Wu's weakness and defeated him with a single move.

Now, Seven Sins had become even stronger.

At the end of the battle, showdowns were between the strongest—Di Hao, Dong Chen, Seven Sins. Others joined forces to overpower the Rising Dragon Platform and defeated many opponents. Finally, the three successfully ascended to heaven.

Witnessing this, Li Yao expressed a look of satisfaction. This way, Di Hao and the others could face off with Yu Sheng of Emperor Xia's Realm.

Was Ye Futian trying to send Yu Sheng into Regional Palace?

Not so fast.

They were all from the Renhuang's Realm, and their goal was not necessarily to join the Crimson Dragon Army like the people of the Crimson Dragon Realm. Still, if they could enter the Regional Palace, it was not a possibility to be refused.

Kong Xuan also arrived today to observe the battle. Like last month, the winner of this game would be her opponent.

"After seven days, whoever owns the Rising Dragon may take part in the battle of the Regional Palace," the saint in the void announced. This couldn't be more familiar to the people in Crimson Dragon Realm.

The light screen disappeared, Li Yao glanced at Ye Futian and the others, then turned to move in another direction, walking toward Kong Zhan and Kong Xuan.

"It's been a long time since I saw the two of you after the Battle of the Empty Realm," Li Yao said. Ye Futian looked over there. He understood Li Yao's intention.

Did Li Yao intend to continue the Battle of the Empty Realm?

At the time, in the Battle of the Empty Realm, Emperor Li's Realm teamed up with the Peacock Demon Emperor's Realm, but he obstructed it.

Now, would Li Yao make another attempt?

Kong Xuan, Kong Zhan, Jialou Feng, coupled with Di Hao, Dong Chen, and Seven Sins from Emperor Li's Realm, were extremely powerful and were perhaps even a nearly invincible team.

Of course, this strong showdown was not only for them but also for the top figures in the Crimson Dragon Realm.

Perhaps, their strength was not necessarily weaker than Di Hao and Dong Chen's.

Even Yu Sheng would feel a touch of pressure on such a battlefield.1

"Had I known, I would have participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon this time," Xia Qingyuan said when she saw that Li Yao went to Kong Xuan. If she and Gu Dongliu had participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon this time around, they would have been able to suppress Di Hao and Dong Chen, and the battle of the Regional Palace after that would have not much to do with Li Yao and the others.

"The Princess shouldn't get involved with these killings and fightings," Ye Futian said with a smile while Xia Qingyuan gave him a dirty look.

Could one avoid fighting in the world of cultivation?

Her reputation in Emperor Xia's Realm was not based on her breeding.

"Let's go." Ye Futian glanced in the direction of the Imperial Advisor and Yan Yuan. He slightly nodded at them, then turned to leave.

His primary purpose for coming was to see the Imperial Advisor and his party.

As for the battle between the two sides, naturally, it would not take place here.

The Crimson Dragon City was the only city directly ruled by the Crimson Dragon Emperor. No one dared to start a war here so that a battle would begin somewhere outside the city.

After Ye Futian returned, the two sides remained in peace, because after seven days, there would be a battle.

This face-off would be held in the Regional Palace.

Anyone who had received the Rising Dragon in the ten Battles of the Sleeping Dragon may participate in the war. But, of course, they could also abstain.

In this battle, no killing was allowed; therefore, no death would occur so that no one would abstain.

Many top characters participated in the Battle of the Sleeping Dragon as trials to join the Crimson Dragon Army and exchange with other top opponents. In the end, they also wanted a chance to enter the Regional Palace.

Of course, this was too difficult.

There could only be one winner of the ten Battles of the Sleeping Dragon, the invincible one who could overpower everyone else, may enter the Regional Palace to cultivate.

There was a Crimson River in Crimson Dragon City. This river was a boiling river, like a fire of magma. The fire of the Great Path flowed within the river.

The Regional Palace was situated on the Crimson River.

The sky around the majestic Regional Palace was a reddish color, and the sky was full of red glow all day long. The will of the Great Path shrouded the entire Regional Palace. The will of the way was omnipresent and could be felt distinctively at any time.

Some people said that underneath the Regional Palace, there was a great treasure of Renhuang, which was the cause of such a wondrous sight.

Some people said that the entire Regional Palace was a rare treasure in itself, which was cast by the power of Renhuang. It gathered the will of the Great Path of heaven and earth.

At this time, in the Crimson River, there was a figure standing on the Regional Palace. His gaze was directed toward the opposite side of the Crimson River.

These people had extraordinary temperament and were full of peerless beauty. Some were surrounded by the Great Path, while others were hidden by the glory of Renhuang. When cultivating at the Regional Palace, one must always release the power to defend against the burning will of the Great Path at all times.

Therefore, the breath of these people could be felt distinctly.

Those who cultivated in the Regional Palace came from all the Renhuang realms of the Crimson Dragon Realm; some were from other royal families, and some were the descendants of the top figures from all walks of life who were sent here to cultivate.

Regional Palace was known as the strongest place for cultivation in Crimson Dragon Realm!
