Chapter 2261: Ending
Nobody talked. The many forces dared not to answer. Besides, whoever volunteered to come forward and speak would be courting death itself.
When Princess Donghuang saw that nobody was talking, she cast her gaze at the fighters from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm in the distance. “A battle took place 20 years ago, and you promised that you would leave if you were defeated. Now that you have again returned to the Original Realm, it seems that the Dark Court and Empty Mountain are deliberately trying to incite a war.”
The powerhouses from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm did not respond. A figure at the Imperial Realm was present among their opponents. Naturally, they would not dare to say anything. What if this powerhouse, who could control the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, attacked them?
Nobody could stop him.
Most certainly, those at the Imperial Realm would usually not partake in war. Otherwise, should a war between Imperial Realms be triggered, the sky would fall, and the earth would crumble.
“Since you are here, Princess Donghuang, we will be taking our leave,” someone said. Subsequently, the aces from both worlds left. There was no point in staying. With the presence of a super powerhouse, who could kill Ye Futian and snatch the inheritance?
And that was an example of courting death.
The Divine Prefecture’s Taichu Saint Emperor served as a warning for them. Should the opponent display no mercy, the top figure from the Taichu Domain would perish here.
Swiftly, aces from both worlds vanished without a trace. Not only had they left the Heavenly Mandate City, but they also departed the Heavenly Mandate Realm. It seemed that this place was no longer convenient for them to stay.
After they left, Princess Donghuang once again looked at the powerhouses from the Divine Prefecture. She opened her mouth and said, “20 years ago at the Heavenly Mandate Academy, you stirred up war with the desire to resolve your old grievances. Today, you descended upon the Heavenly Mandate Academy and incited a civil war within the Divine Prefecture once more. The Dark World and Empty Divine Realm are glaring at us like a covetous tiger. Since that’s the case, you may resolve your grudges independently, and I shall not interfere. However, if any force colludes with the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm to deal with our cultivators once more, the Imperial Palace will deal with you without delay.”
Hearing Princess Donghuang’s words, some breathed a sigh of relief while some blanched and looked horrified.
Some forces who came from the Divine Prefecture sighed in relief. It seemed that Princess Donghuang did not intend to pursue this matter. However, some forces local to the Original Realm had a strong sense of terror emerge from within their hearts.
Previously, many of their aces were killed by the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, which had been controlled by Ye Futian. However, some forces still had their aces with them. Many top forces of the Original Realm had partaken in the great battle that took place years ago and had forged a hatred with the Heavenly Mandate Academy and Ye Futian. With this incident, the hatred had further intensified.
At present, Ye Futian had powerful figures on that level beside him and the powerhouses from the Ziwei Segmentum. Without the assistance from the top forces of the Divine Prefecture, what could these forces from the Original Realm use to contend with the collective strength of Ye Futian and his allies?
As long as Ye Futian regained his senses, recovered, and seized control of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor again, he would be powerful enough to wipe out the aces from the Original Realm.
Under such circumstances, where the princess told them to resolve their grudge on their own, how could they not panic?
“Your Highness, the Divine Prefecture has once again sustained heavy losses in this battle, and the situation is even more difficult for those from the Original Realm. After two wars, I would assume that the forces from the Original Realm would no longer entangle themselves in this matter. Hence, may I implore you to restore peace to the Original Realm. What is your take, Your Highness?” somebody asked. Someone actually offered to resolve the grudge of the Original Realm.
What’s more, the one who had spoken was a top figure of the Original Realm; it was the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Jian Ao.
Hearing Jian Ao’s words, aces from the Heavenly Mandate Academy showed expressions of shock as they looked towards him. Restore peace to the Original Realm?
Jian Ao. He actually said he wanted peace to be restored in the Original Realm at this very moment in time!
Back in time, he followed the powerhouses of the Original Realm to raid the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Today, he was also involved in the alliance between various forces to kill Ye Futian. Now that the outcome was a foregone conclusion, he suggested a peace treaty.
Princess Donghuang also looked at Jian Ao with a faint sense of indifference. Why was he saying this now?
In fact, there had not been too much of a grudge between Ye Futian and Tianshen Academy before. Besides, Ye Futian had once cultivated in Tianshen Academy. He had a good relationship with Jian Qingzhu since he had once saved him before.
But all that Jian Ao ever thought about was killing Ye Futian.
“You were allowed to battle without interference in the past, and it will remain this way,” Princess Donghuang answered with apathy. Jian Ao’s eyes revealed his discontentment. Now that Ye Futian was nothing like his former self, should war break out, he would be able to lead his alliance of powerhouses to sweep across the Original Realm.
How could they still fight?
Only death would await them.
“A brilliant mind you have, College Chief,” Lord Taixuan could not help but sneer. What wishful thinking from Jian Ao. He was on the attack when he wished, but now he was asking for peace?
“Do your wish for the Original Realm to be destroyed overnight?” someone else said. This time, it was ace from the Sky Reaching School.
At present, it was speculated that all of them were amidst fear.
Once Ye Futian woke up and lead the aces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy and the Ziwei Segmentum to seek revenge, no one among the forces of the Original Realm would be able to stop them. Only destruction would await.
Princess Donghuang looked at him with an icy glare. Previously, when they waged war against the Heavenly Mandate Academy, they had never thought of these questions.
“Why are all of you still here?” Princess Donghuang ignored the statement and looked at the other aces. The eyes of those from the Divine Prefecture glistened. Subsequently, they gently bowed and left the place.
When the aces from the Original Realm saw this, they knew that the princess would not do anything for them.
Likewise, they departed one after another. Given how things have developed, retreating was their only option.
Swiftly, all the powerhouses from various places departed and vanished without a trace.
After they left, the area in space became a lot quieter. The only ones who remained were Ye Futian and his allies.
The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor looked in the direction where Ye Futian was and said, “I shall take these sacred remains with me. Take good care of him.”
Upon finishing, he looked at Princess Donghuang and said, “I shall be returning.”
“Safe journey, master,” Princess Donghuang made a light bow and said. Subsequently, the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor rushed into the sky. It broke through the void instantaneously and vanished out of sight.
Princess Donghuang lowered her head and glanced down. Then, she took her men and left. After this incident, no one should dare to trouble Ye Futian and his allies.
After the other powerhouses’ departure, the aces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy and Ziwei Segmentum gathered around Ye Futian. At this moment, he was still in a coma. It seemed as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. The previous battle already exhausted a great deal of his energy. Later on, he was even attacked by the Taichu Saint Emperor. One could only imagine how much pressure he had withstood. It was already extremely fortunate that his spiritual soul was not destroyed. However, by having his vitality damaged like this, it was unknown when he would recover.
The crowd looked around. The Heavenly Mandate Academy was gone, razed to the ground as it had been wiped out in the battle!
