Chapter 2142 - Impossible Task

Chapter 2142: Impossible Task Duan Tianxiong looked at Ye Futian and said with a smile.
Duan Yi, Duan Shang, though you are the prince and princess of the family, now you know first-hand that there are always those who excel even the best of them. You are the same age, but the gap between you is so vast so that you two have become the hostages in the hands of others.

Duan Yi and Duan Shang looked at Ye Futian at a loss. When they heard Duan Tianxiong’s words, they were ashamed. Indeed, there was a huge gap between them and Ye Futian.
It could be said that they were not even on the same level as Ye Futian, or they would not have fallen into his clutches.

Whenever you two have returned home, you should take a good look at yourselves and think about this,
Duan Tianxiong continued. As the Overlord, he was truly extraordinary. Under such circumstances, he still remembered to make it a teachable moment without the slightest hint of worry for their safety; he was a true leader.
He turned his attention back at Ye Futian again. He said with a smile,
Domain Chief Ning Yuan of Donghua Domain didn’t promote a genius talent like you, but put you on the most wanted list instead. I have no idea what he was thinking when he did that. If it were me, I certainly would not have done that.

Aside from the turmoil Ye Futian caused in the Shangqing Domain, his undertaking in the Four Corner Village alone was enough to surprise everyone. Now that he had taken two of his descendants into his hands as hostages while revealing himself as an outstanding alchemy grandmaster. The sky was the limit for such a man and too terrifying to contemplate where he would end up. Although he did not have an influential background, he had been through various trials and experienced much in the world.
He couldn’t understand why the Domain Chief of Donghua Domain would forsake such a talented person.

Since Your Majesty holds me in such high regard, why don’t we stop right here and forge a friendship between us? The prince and Her Majesty may remain my friends. After all, what happened today went against my intention, as I was forced by circumstance,
Ye Futian suggested to Duan Tianxiong.
His goal was simple enough: save Fang Gai and Fang Huan. As for the Duan family, Four Corner Village had just joined the cultivating world, and he did not want to make them their enemy. The most important thing was to focus on their own development and get themselves established first.
It was best to resolve this matter peacefully, so the two sides could stop this vendetta.
As for the friendship he referred to, it was nothing more than diplomatic words. They both knew the reality very well, and this was to give each other a way out.

I have no strong feelings about this, but what I said was not false, and I will never deceive you. Fang Huan did take the life of our kinsman. If I let him go, where is the justice for us?
Duan Tianxiong said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at the man and realized that Duan Tianxiong couldn’t let bygones be bygones. The Giant Gods City was his territory; he could easily shut down everything here so that no one could leave. Ye Futian had taken Duan Yi and Duan Shang hostage, but the real power was still in Duan Tianxiong’s hands.

In that case, I have a suggestion. Would Your Majesty care to take a listen?
said Ye Futian.

Yes,
Duan Tianxiong replied from the air.

I will go to the palace alone for our people. Your Majesty, as the judge, will not interfere. If no one can stop me without employing divine items that will restrict my mobility, I will take our people away with me. If anyone can intercept me, I will leave your people to you and the divine techniques. What does Your Majesty think?
Ye Futian looked at Duan Tianxiong from across the sky and said loudly and clearly. Everyone was shocked.
Countless people looked up at that handsome and exceptional figure. His silver hair was flying in the wind, and he exuded an air of indescribable self-confidence and insolence.
Even Duan Yi and Duan Shang, who was taken by him, now looked at Ye Futian in shock. The man without the mask was even more audacious and daring. Never mind the Ninth Street or Giant Gods City, even the cultivators from the ancient royal family of Duan were not taken seriously by him.
He wanted to rush the palace and take his people away. It was a bold proposition.
Ye Futian’s proposition was based on some of the things that he found out before. In the royal palace of the Duan family, there was no Upper Renhuang with perfect Great Path like Ning Hua. People at that level of cultivation posed the most threat to him. Without this type of cultivator, even if they were in the Ninth Realm, he had the power to combat them.
Now, the two sides were at the point of no return. If he won, he might take his people away. If he lost, they would need to hand over the divine techniques.

You mean, you want to rush the ancient imperial palace by yourself?
Even Duan Tianxiong’s voice was slightly perturbed. A cultivator of Renhuang Fifth Realm wanted to break into the ancient royal family of Duan. How insolent. Did he really think that no one from the ancient royal family could stop him?

Yes,
replied Ye Futian. It was just one word, yet it was sonorous and determined. Even Old Ma had to take a second look at him. This guy… rushing the palace by himself was pure madness, to say the least.
The Duan family was a major force in the Middle Third Heavens. It held the most esteem because Duan Tianxiong had the true strength to dominate the area. However, the ancient royal family of Duan had no lack of powerful cultivators, and there must be countless of them inside the palace, including some old monsters in the Ninth Realms.

Futian, it’s too risky,
Old Ma transmitted his voice to Ye Futian.

Old Ma, there is no better option than this. Even if we fail, it will only be paying the price of the divine techniques. Would you say Uncle Fang is not worth it?
Ye Futian explained. Old Ma had no reply.
When they were at the village, he had known that Ye Futian was a person who cared about the others, or else he would never have felt so close to him. He even went so far as to push him to become the village chief of Four Corner Village. However, his proposition encountered some resistance because Ye Futian was still inexperienced. After all, he was an outsider before, not someone who was native to the village.
However, Old Ma had to admit that Ye Futian was right. The only way was to give it their best shot, for there were no other options.

Well, if you are sure, I will indulge you.
Duan Tianxiong said,
I’ll be waiting for you here.

Ye Futian looked at Duan Yi and Duan Shang.
I would ask your two majesties to bear with us for a while longer.

He then handed the two of them over to Old Ma.
Old Ma looked at him, still hesitating. Ye Futian’s entry into the ancient royal family meant that he would be completely within their control once he set foot there.

Don’t worry, as the Overlord, he will not go back on what he promised.
Ye Futian knew just what made Old Ma so worried, so he tried to assure him. Old Ma nodded slightly. Duan Tianxiong had agreed to Ye Futian’s request for a battle in front of everyone; he would see that the agreement was honored.

I’ll go with you,
Old Ma said, leading Ye Futian in the direction of the ancient royal palace of the Duan family. At this time, the light from Giant Gods City gradually dimmed until it disappeared. There was terrifying pressure. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Let’s go.
One after another, they levitated into the air, heading in the direction of the ancient royal family.

Conducting this rescue mission inside the palace of the ancient royal family by himself? He’s crazy.
The entire Giant Gods City was roiling. Countless people rushed toward the location of the ancient royal family, wanting to witness this battle.

As a mere Renhuang of the Fifth Realm, Ye Futian is attempting something impossible. Does he think he has the power to alter his fate and manipulate the will of heaven?
some elders with powerful cultivation commented, not at all optimistic about Ye Futian’s future.
To attempt a jailbreak inside the palace of the ancient royal family all by himself… How difficult would that be?
If Ye Futian succeeded in taking his people away with throngs of cultivators inside the palace, even without the direct involvement of the overlord himself, the ancient royal family would forever be shamed, with no hope ever to raise their heads again.
In an instant, Giant Gods City was feverish over this news, which had swept through the city in a short time. After all, because of all the events that led to this moment, all the cultivators inside Giant Gods City were paying close attention to this meeting. Now that Ye Futian had set the terms of the battle, how could it not electrify Giant Gods City?
Many people marveled that if Ye Futian could successfully carry out this battle, it would be enough for him to make his name known throughout the world, even in all of the Shangqing Domain.
Only that no one was optimistic about his prospect because everyone thought it was an impossible task!
