Chapter 2290: Visitors

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After slaying the Great Elder of Demon Cloud, Ye Futian and the others returned to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, but the incident had caused quite a stir in the Original Realm.
Many top figures from the Central Emperor Realm had paid close attention to the battle, and the news spread rapidly.
In Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ye Futian and the others had just returned. Before they had a chance to depart to the Ziwei Segmentum, they were informed that some visitors had arrived to request a meeting with him.
In front of the main hall, Ye Futian scanned with his divine consciousness and saw a group of people outside the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Seeing their presence, Ye Futian frowned. Likewise, Old Ma and Blind Tie also raised their eyebrows. Then, Old Ma huffed contemptuously and said, “What are they doing here?”
“Since they are here already, tell them to come in.” Ye Futian didn’t seem to care and gave the instruction casually. Immediately, someone went to carry out the order.
After a while, someone came around, and Ye Futian saw that the person was Muyun Long. Behind him was Muyun Lan, but he appeared unenthusiastic. Both of his hands were folded behind him as he looked toward Ye Futian and Blind Tie. His expression appeared somewhat conflicted.
“How dare you show your faces here,” Fang Gai said sarcastically, looking at Muyun Long. All the discords in the past were caused by Muyun Long. Otherwise, they would still be cultivating in the village, and there would be no subsequent events. Muyun Long was full of ambition, wanting to take over the village, even having the idea to replace the teacher.
But now, that ambition appeared rather ludicrous. Just Muyun Long alone, wanted to replace the teacher?
The teacher was the totem of the village, its true spiritual leader. As long as he was there, Four Corner Village would always be what it always had been, and no one would challenge it.
In fact, Muyun Long was very embarrassed as well, but he came despite this. He had seen the teacher descended on the land of the Original Realm and took control of Shenjia the Great Emperor, erupting with shocking combat power. When some had guessed that the teacher was in the imperial realm, he was greatly shocked and then taken over by endless regrets.
It was ridiculous that they rebelled against Four Corner Village and left, and even more ridiculous that he had once wanted to replace the teacher in the village.
Now, they had witnessed Blind Tie’s breakthrough and ascension to the peak of Renhuang. Muyun Long’s cultivation was far deeper than Blind Tie’s, even his eldest, Muyun Lan, whose cultivation was not beneath that of Blind Tie. In the battle at the Shangqing Domain, though he was unable to suppress Blind Tie, the score was pretty even.
However, the gap had been widened now. Understandably, he was agitated by how things turned out. If they were still cultivating in the village, the teacher and the Imperial Star in the starry sky world could be used to communicate and comprehend.
But not only did they leave the village, but they had also created this grudge with Ye Futian. The death of the Great Elder of the Demon Cloud was a warning to them. Therefore, this trip at this time was inevitable.
What if Ye Futian were to seek revenge from them in the future?
With the strength that Heavenly Mandate Academy possessed today, even the Nanhai family could ill afford its ire.
With Ye Futian’s personality, it was a real possibility that he would eventually end up at their front door, seeking revenge.
“What happened at the beginning was indeed my fault, I admit it. However, we are all people from the village and belong to the same line, after all. No one can dispute this. Old Ma, for the sake of our friendship these many years, would you allow me to ask for forgiveness from the teacher? I am willing to return to the village to cultivate,” Muyun Long pleaded, seeking to bolster his request with their relationship once upon a time.
However, everyone knew where he was coming from. It was only to seek better resources to cultivate. In addition, he may be scared of Ye Futian at this moment, fearing his tendency to settle old scores.
“You left when you wanted to, and now you are asking to come back because you wanted to. What kind of place do you think our village is?” Old Ma said quite sarcastically. At that time, Muyun Long and the others had wanted to take Ye Futian down and had attacked him.
Muyun Long’s youngest, Muyun Shu, was even more outrageous. He had attempted to deal fatal blows to Blind Tie’s son, Tie Tou, without mercy.
And Muyun Lan himself was a son-in-law of the Nanhai family.
Now, he wanted to return to the village?
“I know we have offended. But we are in the same line after all. If the teacher wants to punish us, we will accept it. In the future, we are willing to listen to all of you, no matter what.” Muyun Long still bowed his head and admitted his past guilt. He had put down his dignity to be allowed to return to the village.
Ye Futian looked at Muyun Lan behind him and saw that he was standing quietly without saying a word. Obviously, it was not his idea to come and own up their guilt, but that he was dragged here by Muyun Long. Otherwise, Muyun Lan’s arrogant nature would never allow him to come here and bow his head like this.
After all, even lowering their stance was no guarantee of the results.
As if he had detected Ye Futian’s gaze, Muyun Lan looked at him as well and saw that in the depth of Ye Futian’s eyes, there was extreme tranquility without the slightest emotion in those eyes of his. It was as if he cared not at all for his existence. The look was familiar enough. Once, this was exactly how he looked at Ye Futian.
It was an indifferent and careless look. Now, it was Ye Futian who regarded him thusly. Now in Ye Futian’s eyes, Muyun Lan was nothing. Aside from the power controlled in Ye Futian’s hands, Ye Futian’s own combat effectiveness was so strong that Muyun Lan might not be able to contend with him.
Ye Futian’s sight slowly settled on Muyun Long, and he said, “First, bring Muyun Shu and abolish his cultivation. Show me the sincerity of the Muyun Clan.”
Muyun Long’s eyes sharpened as the expression on his face changed suddenly. Not just him, but Muyun Lan behind him also regarded Ye Futian with a cold expression. Did he ask them to abolish Muyun Shu’s cultivation?
How could they possibly agree to it?
“Emperor Ye, we are sincerely sorry for what had transpired. You needn’t be so harsh,” Muyun Long replied.
“I am being quite sincere.” Ye Futian looked at Muyun Long, “I won’t mention what you did back then, but your youngest, Muyun Shu, being so cruel and plotting at such a tender age, how could we let him back in the village to cultivate without abolishing his cultivation? You don’t really think we wanted to raise another you, did you?”
Ye Futian’s voice was calm enough, but the indifference in his words was very obvious. Clearly, it was impossible.
“Sorry to have bothered you,” Muyun Long said. He turned to leave.
“If there is a chance in the future, I will return the visit to the Muyun Clan,” Ye Futian said casually, causing Muyun Long to stop abruptly. After pausing for a few moments, he started moving again to leave, this time with some heaviness in his footsteps.
What Ye Futian said was rather potent with meaning and significance.
After Muyun Long left, someone came to report again, “Many forces from the Divine Prefecture are outside asking to be received.”
Ye Futian’s divine consciousness radiated outside of the Heavenly Mandate Academy and saw the arrival of many top forces, which surprised him a little. It seemed that this was all caused by that battle. He never expected Uncle Tie’s breakthrough would have such an impact on the top forces in the Divine Prefecture. It appeared that they had some thoughts of their own about this turn of events.
After all, it was tough to produce a figure at the giant level. This was already a cultivator standing at the top in Divine Prefecture!
