Sky Mountain fell into a deafening silence . After killing Qin Yu and the others, the vines dancing in the sky slowly disappeared . Snow fell down from the sky, along with waves of coldness . Countless people gazed at Ye Futian . At the moment, the handsome young man seemed to be the only person left in the world . Qin Yu had died, so had the Fuyun Sword Clan leader and the lord of Royal Xuan Temple . Donghua Clan leader and his wife announced that they would live in seclusion in the future .
The final battle in the Eastern Barren Territory ended in a way that nobody had expected . It felt somewhat unreal, but certainly very shocking . After this battle, nobody in the Eastern Barren Territory would be able to fight against the Cottage . Of course, the forces from the Barren State were not counted .
However, Ye Futian had done more than just kill Qin Yu and the others . He had also greatly offended the people from the Barren State . He injured Nan Yu and killed the Arhat right before Du Ao . He had suppressed all the nobles from the Barren State and all of them looked weak and dying at the moment . Even strong demons such as the dragon and Three-Legged Golden Raven were exhausted . It was thus obvious how much Ye Futian had offended the rest .
The ringing finally stopped and the echoes also gradually dissipated . Only then, many people could relax . The nobles stood up one after another, all seemed to be injured, after which they stared coldly at Ye Futian . Although Ye Futian did not aim this attack at them, the unexpected calamity still caused them to be extremely furious . They were humiliated in such a ridiculous way, so of course, they would feel unhappy .
"Are you not going to let him go?" Nan Feng said to Ye Futian . At the moment, his tone was not as domineering as it had been . He had witnessed everything that had happened . If they really forced Ye Futian too hard near Sky Mountain, their ending would be more or less the same as Qin Yu .
Ye Futian was stunned, after which he turned around and looked at Nan Yu who was still nailed to the cliff . Smiling, he said, "Sorry . I forgot about you . " Then, golden vines shot out towards Nan Yu's head like lightning .
Ah! Blade-like vines magnified rapidly in Nan Yu's eyes . His body trembled fiercely and he could not help screaming in horror . Fear even caused him to close his eyes and his bound body kept spasming He saw for himself how Ye Futian had killed those people just now . Seeing the vines charging towards him, he obviously thought that Ye Futian was going to kill him .
Bang! The golden vines pierced into the cliff beside Nan Yu which exploded . Then, the vines swept towards his body and Ye Futian asked, "What is it?"
Nan Yu opened his eyes and realized that the vines on his body had all vanished . Ye Futian was staring at him innocently . Seeing Ye Futian's expression, Nan Yu knew at once that he had been fooled .
Following a cracking sound, Nan Yu looked at Ye Futian coldly as a strong aura spread from his body . However, when he saw the swaying golden vines around Ye Futian, he only felt somewhat powerless .

"In any friendly fight, accidental injuries cannot be avoided . I believe that as a genius from Nantian House, you will not be so stingy . " Ye Futian smiled and said, "Please . "
At the moment, Nan Yu even felt like he wanted to kill somebody immediately . Looking at Ye Futian's mocking look, he turned around and walked up to Nan Feng and the rest .
This time, they would admit defeat .
"Do you really not want to join us in Mortal World?" Suddenly, Chu Shang looked at Ye Futian and said, "I am being very sincere . With your talents, you will definitely be valued in Mortal World . "
"Thank you for your kind will, but I will not," Ye Futian replied, smiling .
"Alright . " Chu Shang took a deep look at Ye Futian . What a pity, she thought . Turning around, Chu Shang brought her people and left the place . In addition, the people from other forces also took their leave one after another .
On Sky Mountain, who could defeat Ye Futian?
Ye Futian stared emotionlessly at the disappearing figures . He knew that the entire issue was far from being over .
"Not resigned?" Suddenly, Zhuge Hui opened her eyes and smiled at Ye Futian .
"Somewhat," Ye Futian said . He had the ability to kill everyone on Sky Mountain, but he could not . Instead, he could only let all of them go, so he would, of course, feel dissatisfied .
"If you are not resigned, then become stronger . When you are more powerful than everyone else, you don't have to be scared of anything anymore," Zhuge Hui said, smiling . The world was just so cruel and real . The people from the Barren State could threaten Ye Futian in so many ways, but Ye Futian could not kill them even though he had the ability to .

Nan Yu was so supercilious and arrogant, but only because he had Nantian House behind him . Otherwise, who would he be compared to Ye Futian?
Looking at the handsome young man before her, Zhuge Hui smiled brightly . He was so clever and talented . One day, he would stand way above those from the Barren State .
"Yup . I'll try my best . " Ye Futian grinned and nodded . If he was alone and had no families, perhaps he would kill all the people from the Barren State, but he was not .
"Okay . Next, it's time to clear the debt between us . " Zhuge Hui smiled and stared at Ye Futian .
Ye Futian blinked his eyes . Then, he raised his head to look at the snow on Sky Mountain and remarked, "Sister, the snow scenery on Sky Mountain is really beautiful, just like you . "
Zhuge Hui was still looking at him, smiling .
"Big brother, third brother, are you feeling better now?" Ye Futian said again .
…
In the pavilion on the first mountain of Book Mountain, two people were sitting there, playing a game of chess . In the sky, there were many cultivators . Some were from Qin Dynasty while others from the College . They were all staring nervously at the two . At the moment, the game between the king of Qin and Mr . Du seemed to have reached its climax, especially after the sentence from Mr . Du . He said that it would be difficult for Qin Dynasty to leave Sky Mountain in one piece . Was he saying that a battle had already erupted at Sky Mountain? Could the three disciples from the Cottage really kill Qin Yu and his team?
Taking a chess piece in his hand, the king of Qin stared at Mr . Du . His look was extremely sharp . However, Mr . Du only smiled gently, as if he had taken control of everything . This caused the king of Qin to have a bad feeling .
"Mr . Du, are you joking?" the king of Qin asked, smiling .

Mr . Du shook his head . "I usually don't joke . "
"Perhaps you have seen wrongly," the king of Qin said again, after which he put down the piece in his hand . With this move, his pieces on the board were connected once again . The situation on the board changed and a terrifying force seemed to be gathering .
"Life is just like a game of chess . Take a step back, and conflicts will automatically be resolved . Retreating does not mean cowardice . It's merely a way to live," Mr . Du said in a calm tone . Without any hesitation still, he made his next move .
Beside them, College Chief Xiao was astonished . He did not expect Mr . Du to be so skilled in chess . Mr . Du had thoroughly displayed his attitude towards life on the chessboard . Previously, his moves had all been retreating and defensive . On the other hand, the king of Qin followed him closely and was very aggressive . However, at the moment, Mr . Du's move changed his stance drastically, as if he had inverted the world . In an instant, he ended the game . The pieces of the king of Qin seemed to be destroyed totally while Mr . Du's pieces were like sharp blades which annihilated everything in their path .
A cold sweat broke out from the king's forehead and he felt somewhat uneasy . Life was just like chess, and chess was like life . Mr . Du's game caused him to feel frightened . This was not just a game of chess, but also a game of the Eastern Barren Territory .
The king of Qin held a piece in his hand as he stared at the chessboard before him . After a long while, he still could not make his move . He actually did not know how to continue .
"This game has already ended . We don't have to continue," Mr . Du said softly .
"I don't believe you!" The king of Qin looked coldly at Mr . Du as he continued his next move as if he was making his final struggle .
Mr . Du shook his head and also made his next move . The king's face turned extremely pale . Suddenly, a powerful aura spread out from the back of Book Mountain, along with many loud roars . A battle seemed to have happened .
Then, everyone saw a few people charging towards them . College Chief Xiao frowned; that was the entrance to the Ancient Barren World . Did a group of people just break through by force?
"Your Majesty, the spiritual imprint of the crown prince is . . . destroyed!" someone shouted . His words entered the ears of the king of Qin like a bolt out of the blue . His hand froze in midair and his body started trembling .
His son Qin Yu had died .
Boom . In the sky, all the people from the Qin Dynasty were bewildered . The crown prince Qin Yu had died . What did this mean? Qin Dynasty probably had a miserable defeat at Sky Mountain . But how could that be?
Donghua Clan leader and his wife, Fuyun Sword Clan leader, Royal Xuan Temple Lord, Qin Yu, and Lu Nantian were all very powerful cultivators . Furthermore, they had brought several sage ritual implements . How would they lose?
Puff . The king of Qin took a deep breath and closed his eyes, after which he opened them again . The piece in his hand fell down onto the chess board . Raising his head, he looked at the old man before him and asked, "Mr . Du, you have already set up your plan at Sky Mountain? So who is that sword?"
The king of Qin pointed at a piece on the board . He did not understand why he would lose .
"Is it important?" Mr . Du shook his head .
"Then how about Book Mountain? Who will stop me from destroying the place?" the king of Qin said coldly, pointing at the chessboard . He slowly stood up and an extremely frightening aura erupted from his body . Apart from him, the two elders from Qin Dynasty also released their auras . The auras from them engulfed the vast Book Mountain . In the sky, the cultivators from Qin Dynasty also released their auras and pressured the rest . The disciples from the College, Sword Saint Mountain, and Moon Clan all ascended into the sky . They similarly released their auras to fight against the incoming pressure .
"Are you still unrepentant?" Mr . Du asked .
"Do I have a choice?" The king of Qin picked up his piece and put it onto the chessboard . That was a place of no return . He was making his last stand .
"I have taught a few disciples on Book Mountain . I want neither fame nor wealth, not to say the ambition to unify the Eastern Barren Territory . " At the moment, Mr . Du was still sitting there quietly, as if he was muttering to himself . "All I wanted was to influence a few people so that they can inherit my ideology . Slowly, they can influence the entire Eastern Barren Territory . Why is it so difficult?"
"I don't care about your ambitions . Rumors claim that Mr . Du does not know cultivation . Today, I want to see for myself if you really know how to cultivate or not!" the king of Qin said coldly as his might pressed onto Mr . Du .
Mr . Du raised his head to look at the king of Qin and asked softly, "Is it not good to be alive?"
