The Legend of Futian

t that it is unacceptable.
But now I ’ve realized that I may have been wrong in my judgment this time.

”Using such a term to insult a peer, and a lady at that, I ’m extremely disappointed in you, ” Lian Yuqing continued.
He had entered the Holy Zhi Palace six years ago.
In his year, he had placed third in the Law Battle, and the two people above him were now first and second in the Law Rank.
They were all top-notch individuals.

Those who had come on top in the Law Battle three years back were now incredibly well-known in the Holy Zhi Palace as well, and Ye Futian was the top disciple in this year ’s Law Battle.
According to precedence, Ye Futian was set to have illustrious achievements and enter the Law Rank sooner or later.
However, his behavior really was quite unacceptable.

Ye Futian looked over at Lian Yuqing.
With a guqin in his hands, he really was a charming-looking man.
Judging by the other disciples ’ attitude towards Lian Yuqing, though Ye Futian had no idea who he was, he surmised that he probably was held in high regard at the Daozang Palace.
However, what did all that have anything to do with him?

”Am I supposed to care whether or not you ’re disappointed? ” Ye Futian shot Lian Yuqing a cold glance.
Anyone could stand at a distance and take the moral high ground over something that wasn ’t their business.

Ever since Ye Futian entered the Holy Zhi Palace, he had never spoken kindly to anyone.
The disciples of the palace were all talents hailed by the people, and all of them were exceedingly arrogant as well.
He had wanted to train in peace, but all sorts of troublesome things kept happening to him.

Outside the Sky Reaching Tower, Xiang Zhiqin had ordered people to surround Ye Futian and forced him to choose one of them to challenge.
If he lost the battle, then he would not be allowed to leave easily.
If Ye Futian had not defeated his opponent that day, who knew what sort of humiliation he would have been forced to face.

Today at the Daozang Palace, Ye Futian had only planned to come see Jieyu, quietly listen to Sage Daozang ’s lecture for a while, then leave with Jieyu.
And yet Xiang Zhiqin had jumped on him again.
Furthermore, it seemed like he wasn ’t her only target.
Hua Jieyu seemed to have been bullied by her as well, and that Ye Futian could not tolerate.

The atmosphere became tense again.
No one could believe that Ye Futian had actually dared to talk back to older brother Lian, who was fifth in the Law Rank.

”Older brother Lian, in the Daozang Palace, Xiang Zhiqin throws around insults like ’shameless ’ and ’despicable ’ on a regular basis when it comes to describing Futian.
Even today, in front of everyone, she ’s talking about him in the exact same way.
If she can insult him, why is he not allowed to respond i? ” Hua Jieyu stared at Lian Yuqing, her tone frosty.

”As a man, and the top disciple to emerge from the Law Battle, it is only right that he is gracious to others, ” Lian Yuqing replied, looking at Hua Jieyu.

”You may be fifth in the Law Rank, but it appears that there isn ’t much difference between the character of you and Xiang Zhiqin, ” Hua Jieyu spoke coldly.
Lian Yuqing ’s gaze flicked back to Hua Jieyu, only to see Ye Futian holding Hua Jieyu ’s hand.
There really was no point in trying to reason with these people.

”Since you all like to force people to accept these supposed ’challenges ’ so much and expect ’graciousness ’ from them, then let me see just how gracious all of you people at the Daozang Palace are. ” Ye Futian looked around at the crowd.
”I ’m Ye Futian, a Grade Eight Noble.
If anyone wants a challenge, I ’ll gladly accept. ”

Since everyone was quibbling over graciousness, Ye Futian announced his plane to everyone upfront.
He was going to see if those of a higher plane would be so shameless as to attack him still.

Xiang Zhiqin took a step forward before a voice rang out, ”Zhiqin. ”

Everyone ’s gaze snapped over to the person who had spoken.
It was Yun Feng, who walked out and said, ”I don ’t agree with this person ’s behavior as well.
Since I ’m closer to him in terms of ranking, let me take this battle instead. ”

In the Law Rank, Yun Feng was in the 96th place, while Ye Futian was in the 97th.
Previously, Yun Feng had claimed before the Law Rank that this year ’s entry battle could be a flop.
Evidently, he believed that if he had not entered the Palace directly last year and entered the Law Battle instead, he would have been the most dazzling individual.

”Younger sister, ” Lian Yuqing said, ”Yun Feng is a Grade Six Noble, he ’s perfect for this.
Ye Futian has defeated challengers two planes above him to become the champion of the Law Battle, and furthermore, your rankings in the Law Rank are close to each other.
A challenge like this will not be seen as bullying. ” 

Xiang Zhiqin nodded slightly in agreement.
Her expression was still cold as she turned to glare at Ye Futian.
She had never been insulted like that before.

Yun Feng walked forward, and the people around him scrambled to make way for him.
Ye Futian nodded at Hua Jieyu, and she retreated as well.
The two were to battle on this sacred learning ground.

Yun Feng was very young, and he was fair and handsome.
Smiling at Ye Futian, he announced, ”I ’m Yun Feng, a Grade Six Noble.
I am a Painter. ” Upon finishing his words, a dazzling light shone from behind him and instantly, paintings flew out all around him.
It was as if millions of paintings were suspended in the air, with each painting containing immense power within.

Ye Futian looked at Yun Feng.
Yun Feng ’s Life Spirit was similar to that of Ye Futian ’s fourth older brother ’s Million Treasure Books.
It was very interesting.

Looking at the various paintings, Ye Futian ’s expression suddenly changed.
One of the scrolls had an image carved into it.
It was a painting of Hua Jieyu.

”Yun Feng. ” Hua Jieyu ’s expression changed as well.
Currents of energy rolled off her body, and her eyes were cold.

”Please don ’t take offense, younger sister.
You burnt my scrolls previously when I was painting, after all.
But this has always been the way of my training, I will incorporate everything that is beautiful and good in this world into my paintings.
It is not to target you.
I hope you can understand, ” Yun Feng explained.
There were all sorts of painting scrolls behind him, containing images of people, demonic monsters, ritual implements, and many more.

Hua Jieyu ’s face was pale, and she looked at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian ’s expression was equally cold.
Suddenly, he rose up into the sky, moving out of the Daozang Palace.

Everyone was stunned.
Yun Feng followed after him, asking, ”What is the meaning of this? ”

”We ’ll settle this at the Law Battle Platform, ” Ye Futian replied coldly.
After seeing that painting, he had decided to not battle at the Daozang Palace.
