Ye Futian's eyes later focused on another hill . There, an icy glare swept towards him . It was Shang Hai from the Yunyue Merchant Union .
Shang Hai clenched his fists . His eyes were extremely cold and filled with murderous intent . After the battle of the top four forces, he'd been neglected by his family . His status had plummeted . During this time, his cousin Shang Yunfeng returned . He begged his uncle to come out and practice with Shang Yunfeng . They had been close when they were young . Thus, Shang Yunfeng took him along . He prepared to leave his family forever and follow his cousin to the Divine Sky City . Even if he wasn't talented enough to enter the Top Three Schools, he would still rather make a living in the Divine Sky City instead of home . He knew his grandfather didn't like him anymore . He wouldn't have his previous status .
"What are you looking at?" an older youth beside Shang Hai asked . Following his gaze, he looked at Ye Futian's location . "Those are from the Starry School . Wang Yuqing from the Wang Family is cultivating there . You must have met them before . "
"The people beside Wang Yuqing are Ye Futian's group," Shang Hai said coldly .
Shang Yunfeng's eyes flashed as he scanned Ye Futian's group . His expression was calm . After returning, he'd heard that his family had been defeated miserably in the battle . He was curious . It seemed that the Yunyue City still had some talented people .
"He's following Wang Yuqing . It seems that he wants to use Wang Yuqing to enter the Starry School . But the Top Three Schools isn't that easy to get into . Wang Yuqing is an average disciple . She isn't that powerful," Shang Yunfeng said . "Since he's here, I can help you kill him when the chance comes . I can take revenge for you . "
"He's with the Starry School . Will that cause trouble?" Shang Hai asked .
"He's not a disciple . There's nothing troublesome," Shang Yunfeng said calmly . The Top Three Schools had a special status in the eastern Barren State . What was wrong with killing an unimportant figure?
Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian's group also noticed Shang Yunfeng and Shang Hai . Wang Yuqing told Ye Futian, "That's Shang Yunfeng from the Yunyue Merchant Union . He's from the Blazing Sun School . "
"Oh . " Ye Futian nodded and looked away from Shang Yunfeng . Clearly, he didn't care . As for Shang Hai, his eyes were extremely sharp . He couldn't hide the murderous intent and kept staring .

Ye Futian coolly gazed at Shang Hai and looked to the Beast Mountain . "What kind of herb is the dragon protecting that the top three forces have come?"
"The Dragon Grass is born with a dragon and needs to be nurtured with dragon blood," Wang Yuqing said . "Filled with the essence of nature, this grass is extremely fragile . Only a dragon can grow it . Thus, the Top Three Schools never touched the dragon . They just guard it so others can't take it . "
"What is it used for?" Ye Futian asked . Since his third senior brother wanted it, it must be beneficial towards his cultivation .
"It can raise a dragon's wisdom . For cultivators, it can strengthen one's spiritual energy . For powerful Nobles, not only does it raise their spiritual energy, it can also increase their perception of Spiritual Qi . "
"In other words, if a low-level sorcerer uses Dragon Grass, they can possibly break into the next level? And a high-level cultivator increases their perception, so they can also enter the next level?" Ye Futian asked .
"You can say that . " Wang Yuqing nodded . "In addition, if the Dragon Grass is matured, the demons that guard here can benefit too . "
Ye Futian gazed at the countless demon beasts on the mountain before him . As demons became higher level, their intelligence would increase too . Noble demons could even speak in human tongue .
The Dragon Grass could raise their intelligence . No wonder it created such a crazy situation .
"So what will we do now?" Ye Futian asked .
"Wait . The promised day is tomorrow . The strong cultivators of the Top Three Schools should arrive soon," Wang Yuqing said . Ye Futian nodded and stopped asking . He just waited quietly .
Cultivators not from the Top Three Schools were waiting too . They mostly came today to watch and see if they could benefit in some way . The Top Three Schools cared about the herb . But to the other people, even the corpses of the demons were precious . Of course, some wanted to capture a beast to ride too .

Four hours later, more strong cultivators descended . Their auras were terrifying . They looked around and landed directly somewhere . The strong cultivators of the Blazing Sun School had arrived soon .
After, the strong cultivators from the other schools arrived too and landed in their respective camps .
"Mu Shi and Senior Brother Tan are here . "
The people of the Starry School were surprised . Of the two at the head of the incoming group, one was older and one was younger . The older was Master Mu, a famous elder at the Starry School .
The younger wore a headpiece . His aura was extraordinary . This was Tan Zhong, a popular genius disciple of the school . Today, he came with Master Mu to the Dragon Zone . It seemed that the Starry School would definitely get the Dragon Grass .
Of course, the Blazing Sun School and Bright Moon School were powerful too . Clearly, this fight would be intense .
"Him?" Tan Zhong asked, looking up at Gu Dongliu on the lonely mountain .
"Yes . " Master Yun nodded .
Tan Zhong gazed up and said loudly, "The Dragon Grass has long been discovered and protected by the Top Three Schools . No matter who you are, please leave now and everything will be alright . "
There was barely anybody in the eastern Barren State who dared to anger the Top Three Schools .
On the mountain, Gu Dongliu opened his dark and deep eyes . He looked at the Starry School and asked, "Did the Top Three Schools plant it?"

Tan Zhong furrowed his brows . Someone from the Blazing Sun School said, "No, but we've protected it for many days . It naturally belongs to us . "
"It grew naturally and you haven't taken it yet . Why does it belong to you? According to your logic, if I stand guard outside the Top Three Schools for many days, will the school become mine?" Gu Dongliu asked the Blazing Sun School . His voice was emotionless . He was just stating facts .
The people of the Top Three Schools frowned and their expressions turned cold . It seemed that this man was set on stealing the herb .
"This has nothing to do with you," Tan Zhong said coldly . "If you don't leave, be prepared for the consequences .
Gu Dongliu looked away from the Top Three Schools .
At this time, there was suddenly a dragon's roar from the mountain's peak . It shook the sky . A burst of demonic aura surged forth . Everyone saw a huge dragon in the sky . Its cold eyes gazed at them .
It was a black demon dragon while its large body shone with dark gold light . It looked even more menacing and terrible . Its eyes were filled with aggressive light . The Dragon Grass was close to maturing now and these damn human cultivators wanted to steal it . They were horrible .
"There seems to be a cave there . " Ye Futian looked at the dragon . It had come from inside the mountain .
"If anyone takes my Dragon Grass, I will destroy it . " This dragon actually spoke in the human tongue . Its voice was frigid and vaguely threatening . It knew what the humans wanted so it threatened them with it . "
"It's yours if we don't take it . Even if you destroy it when we take it, we can still take your corpse away . How should we choose?" a strong cultivator said coldly as he looked at the dragon . "You have committed sins . If you leave voluntarily and scram off to the demon region, we can spare your life . "
With that, strong cultivators stepped into the air and rose up to the mountain's peak . Someone looked at Gu Dongliu and asked coldly, "Are you sure you're not going scram?"
Gu Dongliu opened his eyes and looked coolly at the other . He remained sitting there, unmoved .
"Take care of him first," someone said .
Then there was a sun in the air . An elder from the Blazing Sun School wielded a sun sword . Sunlight splashed down and reflected on the sword . It sliced down on Gu Dongliu . Fiery sword light appeared in the air, burning everything .
The attack was extremely fast . Gu Dongliu stood up at some point and stepped forward . His feet glowed brilliantly and his body flashed like lightning, immediately teleporting .
The sword fell down, splitting the mountain . The entire peak burned with flames from that crack, but Gu Dongliu still stood quietly to the side .
The strong cultivator with the sword sun kept striking . This time, beams of sunlight pierced through the sky, sealing that space .
Gu Dongliu's body transformed into afterimages . His feet shone brightly and his footsteps were thunderous . He streaked among the sunlight and his techniques were amazing .
"Such precise steps," someone praised . Ye Futian knew that it was their teacher's Thunder Shadow Steps . He was also cultivating it .
The Blazing Sun School's cultivator kept attacking, but Gu Dongliu just dodged instead of fighting back . Seeing this, the strong cultivator frowned . "His body is very agile . It's very hard to kill him if he dodges . We can't waste more time . Each school send one person to stop him and then kill him . "
The Top Three Schools had no objections . A strong cultivator walked out from each school and faced Gu Dongliu . The others kept pressing up towards the mountain .
"We will attack from the middle," a Noble from the Starry School said .
The strong cultivators had to deal with the dragon without completely angering it . Otherwise, it would destroy the Dragon Grass and everything would have been in vain .
"Follow closely," Jiang Nan said . Then Wang Yuqing and Ye Futian's group walked forward, running straight for the demon beasts in the mountain . The other disciples of the other two schools also prepared to enter the middle of the mountain . The Dragon Grass was growing there!
