Intense fight was still ongoing between Xia Fan's army and Qingzhou Academy's group. Even after Ye Futian and Yu Sheng escaped from there, Xia Fan still asked his people to capture the younger generation of the Qingzhou Academy.
Roar!!!
Suddenly, the Snow Ape who was cultivating among the beasts opened it's eyes, and shouted out. The fight between the two group created too much of a disturbance. The ape was greatly annoyed by this.
The sudden roar stopped the fight momentarily. The crowd then saw a beast with snow-white skin stood up from the crowd of demonic beasts. In the next instant, its body grew larger and larger until it was the size of a small mountain. When it stood up, all the other demonic beasts in the gorge stood up as well, their demonic Qi engulfing the heavens and earth.
"How is this possible?" Xia Fan was shocked. There was a Demon King in the canyon.
How could there be a Demon King in Qingzhou City?
His expression was ugly. Then, he looked at the statue of Emperor Ye Qing. Was this demon guarding the statue?
"Intruders, get out of this place!" the Snow Ape yelled towards the crowds.
"Sorry to disturb you," Xia Fan said. His eyes twitched. Had this trip been for nothing?
Moreover, they had lost a lot of people. In the end, it was all for nothing. All they had done was take a look at the statue of Emperor Ye Qing?
Seeing the fierce look on the Snow Ape's, Xia Fan decided to leave the place with his group. Hua Fengliu and the others also led the Qingzhou Academy's army and escaped away, towards Qingzhou Academy.
When Xia Fan saw the other side also leave, he said something to his uncle. His uncle looked dangerously towards Hua Fengliu in the distance.
...
Not long after those two group left, two youths came out from their hiding place, and walked into the direction of the statue. These youths are Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
"Master should be safely returning to Qingzhou Academy with the others." Ye Futian worry was lessened when he saw his master left together with the rest.
"You wait here." Ye Futian let You Sheng wait outside the valley. After that, he entered into the valley and approached the statue. Yu Sheng wanted to follow but he held himself.
"It's seems like you paid no heed to my warning. You're really asking for it," the Snow Ape said coldly after seeing Ye Futian still dared to come. But just as he spoke, Ye Futian's thunder dragon Life Spirit was released.
"Senior Dragon and I are fated. He was the one who gave me my Life Spirit. I'm here to thank him," Ye Futian said loudly. Although he was here for the inheritance, he could not just say he want to get it. At least he need to show a reason for him to be here.
The Snow Ape walked up to Ye Futian and looked down at him like a mountain. "This Life Spirit was given to you by the old dragon?"
Ye Futian's eyes brightened. "Last year, when I was training on Mount Tianyao, Senior Dragon's dragon aura appeared. I visualized the Life Spirit.
"Visualized the Life Spirit?" The Snow Ape stared at Ye Futian and said, "Let me see your Life Spirit."
Ye Futian nodded. The World Tree appeared. The ancient tree swayed in the wind and made a rustling sound. It was as if it was a real tree.
The Snow Ape's body trembled violently. His eyes instantly turned red. His huge body crouched down and his huge head moved closer to Ye Futian.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Ye Futian withdrew his Life Spirit. He saw that the Snow Ape's eyes were filled with sorrow.
"Child." The Snow Ape stretched out a finger and touched Ye Futian's face. In his huge eyes, crystal clear tears fell. His red eyes and flowing tears made Ye Futian feel a sense of sorrow.
"Why is it you?" The Snow Ape's body trembled slightly. His tears continued to fall.
"Senior, do you know me?" Ye Futian's emotions seemed to be affected. His voice was also a bit sad.
"Poor child." The Snow Ape seemed to be in extreme sorrow. He slowly stood up, raised his head, and let out an earth-shattering roar. He threw his head back and let out a long howl. His fists pounded on his chest, causing the mountains to tremble. The demonic beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling non-stop.
Then the Snow Ape's huge body knelt down. His huge head was buried in front of Ye Futian as if he was worshipping an emperor.
"Senior." Ye Futian was stunned. All the demons in the valley followed the Snow Ape to prostrate, and worshipping him.
"Senior, am I eligible to get the inheritance?" Ye Futian asked politely. Although Ye Huang already said to go get it, he was cautious not to be rude. Otherwise, this 'senior' might just clap him onto the ground, and he will then leave for heaven.
"Of course." The Snow Ape moved to the side, and showed to Ye Futian the entrance below the statue. The other demon beasts also moved to the side, letting Ye Futian walk and reach the entrance.
Ye Futian pushed the door open and entered alone.
The inside of the statue was empty. There was only a human-sized statue of Emperor Ye Qing.
The Spiritual Qi inside was extremely dense. There seemed to be a matrix. When Ye Futian walked in, the matrix lit up automatically and became even more dazzling. Endless Spiritual Qi flowed into the small statue. The statue broke and turned into a shadow. It was Emperor Ye Qing.
The two looked at each other. Emperor Ye Qing's eyes were gentle. He asked, "Child, what's your name?"
"Senior, my name is Ye Futian." The person in front of him was the legendary Emperor Ye Qing. But for some reason, Ye Futian was very calm.
"Your surname is Ye too. Release your Life Spirit for me to see," Emperor Ye Qing said. Ye Futian released his Life Spirit again.
When he saw Ye Futian's Life Spirit, Emperor Ye Qing was stunned. Then, he revealed an extremely pained and sad expression. His reaction was the same as the Snow Ape's, as if he was about to cry.
Emperor Ye Qing's shadow stepped forward and hugged Ye Futian. Emperor Ye Qing said softly, "Child, why is it you? Why is it you?"
He sounded like he wanted to cry. Ye Futian wanted to cry too. He said softly, "Senior, weren't you waiting for me? Who am I?"
Ye Futian looked at Emperor Ye Qing. His godfather seemed to have said the same thing. Why did they have such high hopes for him?
His father said his life spirit was passed down from his ancestors, but Emperor Ye Qing and the Snow Ape both recognized his life spirit.
"Emperors are too far away from me. Can you tell me who I am?" Ye Futian asked softly.
"Child, you must believe in yourself. Your life spirit is destined to be king."Emperor Ye Qing's voice was still gentle. Ye Futian understood that the emperor didn't want to tell him. He was a bit down. "Since you're not waiting for me, did I disturb you?"
"Of course not." Emperor Ye Qing's eyes were full of love. "Although it's hard to see you, there's no one more suitable than you to inherit everything from me."
"Are you going to leave the inheritance to me?" Ye Futian asked.
"Yes, my life spirit and the martial arts technique I created myself." Emperor Ye Qing nodded.
"Can I pass the martial arts technique to my friend? He's a natural warrior." Ye Futian thought of Yu Sheng. Emperor Ye Qing's martial arts technique must be very strong.
"Is his surname Yu?" Emperor Ye Qing asked.
"How did you know?" Ye Futian asked in surprise.
"If it weren't for you, I might have passed it to him. But since you're here, it can only belong to you. He was born for you." Emperor Ye Qing shook his head. Ye Futian lowered his head, sad. Even his godfather said the same thing. It wasn't fair to Yu Sheng.
"Child, time is running out. I want to see you more, even watch you grow up," Emperor Ye Qing's voice was low and sad. Emperor Ye Qing's voice was low and sad. Ye Futian looked at him and said, "Can't you tell me what our relationship is?"
Emperor Ye Qing shook his head. He looked at Ye Futian with kindness and a hint of reluctance. Then, the illusory figure turned into endless light and flew towards Ye Futian's brow. At that moment, Ye Futian felt a terrifying spiritual energy storm pierce into his mind. His body trembled and a look of extreme pain appeared on his face.
This is the third time, Ye Futian thought unhappily. Then, he lost consciousness again.
...
On another place, Shenron was fleeing for his life as three Dharma Plane cultivators were chasing after him. His face showed anger and confusion. On his body, some injuries can be seen, which definitely were inflicted by his pursuers.
There was one thing that Shenron didn't understand. It's already passed the time limit of 20 minutes outing from Ye Huang's Life Palace. However, he was still outside here fleeing, and has yet to be recalled back.
"Master, I'm at my limit here. Can you please summon me back to your Life Palace?" Shenron asked anxiously.
"I already tried. It looks like you need to be close by in order for me to be able to recall you back. Try making a circle towards me." Ye Huang replied.
Ye Huang used the newly copied Avatar Ignition, and rushed towards Shenron's location. Instantly, his plane was rised into Stage Eight Dharma Plane, and his shot into the distance, disappearing in no time at all.
Shiing!!!
A Sword Qi was released by the Stage Six Dharma fighter, and slashed at Shenron's wings. Hearing the swoosing sound of the Sword Qi, Shenron quickly dived to the right to evade. After that he flashed again, making a turn towards Ye Huang's direction.
The chase continued for another minutes. At this time, the pursuers we're feeling annoyed. This dragon seems so good at escaping.
"Let's not waste anymore time. Catch it."
The highest level pursuer suddenly increased his speed. Almost instantly he is already upon the Azure Dragon's back. With two daggers in hands, he slashed it on Shenron's wings. At that instant, Shenron turned his form into a human. This helped him to fall down abruptly.
Swish!! Swish!!
"Argh!!"
The attacker was surprised that this demon beast is already able to turn into a human form. However, he believe that this dragon retained most of it's previous knowledge and ability, except for it's cultivation level. That's why it was able to do so. He threw both daggers towards Shenron's back. The daggers hit it's target, and the dragon plummet down even faster, crashed directly onto the ground.
Shenron hurriedly stood up. However, it was at this time that the three managed to catch up and surround him.
"Now, little dragon. You won't be able to run away anymore. Just be obedient and follow us."
Shenron glared at the three. "If I am at your level, you won't be able to threaten me."
"You are correct to say so. However, right now you are only at Stage One of the Dharma Plane. You don't have a choice, other than to leave with us." Zhou Hua, who have the highest cultivation still thought that the dragon cultivation regressed as got alive again.
"Who said he have no choice at all?" Suddenly, a voice was heard from afar. Zhou Hua and his two companion instantly glanced at the direction of the voice. In the far distance, a dot was shooting towards them. The dot quickly enlarged and reached them. It was a masked youth. The youth was Ye Huang.
Shenron was relieved when he saw Ye Huang. Now, hee could get out of this predicament. On the other hand, Ye Huang frowned when he saw the bleeding on Shenron's body. They really made a good work on him.
"Who are you?"
"Master!"
The question and answer came almost at the same time. The faces of the Heiyan changed when they heard Shenron. This dragon has an owner?
"Go back!"
A gate appeared out of nowhere. Shenron nodded. He then glanced at the three and smirked. His face was as if saying, you will receive the wrath of my Master! After that, he stepped into the gate.
"Tell me, are you the one who injured Shenron?" Ye Huang asked while looking at Zhou Hua calmly.
"Shenron? So that's the name of that dragon." Looking at Ye Huang, Zhou Hua nodded. He said, "So what if I injure the dragon?"
"I see. Then, will you apologize for what you did?"
Zhou Hua frowned. Is this kid asking me to apologize to a demon beast? Is something wrong with his head? Looking at the stature if the disguised youth, he doesn't believe that this youth is more powerful than himself. There is no record of any youth in Qingzhou City that are already in a Dharma Plane. "I don't know whoever you are, but listen boy. Although that dragon is a rare beast, it's out of question to apologize to it."
"Do you really have no intention to apologize?" Ye Huang looked dangerously at the guy.
"F@#k off! Attack him..."
BOOM!!!
Zhou Hua was angered. He commanded the other two to attack this man in disguise together. However, out of nowhere, a staff was formed and smashed Zhou Hua at lightning speed. The strike instantly crushed him from head through his feet. Instant kill!
