The Legend of Futian
Chapter 2747 - A Stubborn Personality

Chapter 2747 A Stubborn Personality

“Kill them!” Lord Shaman ordered a second time. A murderous intent enveloped the cultivators from the Dark World. It seemed as if they would be killed immediately if they did not obey his orders.

“Poor things.” The watching cultivators all felt sorry for those from the Dark World. They were stuck having to choose between two impossible choices. One was the Great Shaman, and the other, the Reaper.

Both were people they could not afford to offend. Both were people capable of killing all of them.

Die if you do.

Die if you don’t.

The options available to them all led to death with zero chance of surviving.

But truthfully, even if the strongest cultivators of the Dark World agreed to help out in the battle, would they be good enough to kill Ye Futian?

Seeing how things stood currently, it was a tall order. The Dark World may have more cultivators, but going by overall prowess, Ziwei Imperial Palace did not lose out at all.

The woman in white could take on Lord Shaman by herself and even forced Lord Shaman to summon the help of a deity to keep up with her.

Aside from Lord Shaman, who else could take on Ye Futian? The leader of Infernal Divine Clan had been killed not long ago. Perhaps the other two of the Three Dark Sages?

But would Dark Flame Sage and Dark Saint follow Lord Shaman’s orders?

Besides, Ziwei Imperial Palace also had Supreme Swordlord on its side.

And if that was not enough, Yu Sheng from the Devil World was also lying in wait for a prime opportunity. In this battle of the finest, who was stronger?

In this setting, just what could the cultivators of the Dark World possibly do to kill Ye Futian?

Yet Lord Shaman had given this order. His objective was not to kill Ye Futian but to drive those from the Dark World to their graves.

The spine-chilling blood-red light was already shining upon the cultivators of the Dark World. Some moved, causing Ye Qingyao to react, but Ye Futian stopped her. “Allow me, Qingyao.”

He could see that Lord Shaman and Ye Qingyao were not on good terms, probably because Ye Qingyao had shaken Lord Shaman’s standing in the Dark Court.

Yet even before he had lifted a finger, the cultivators who stepped out were blanketed from head to toe in the Death Will. Their rigid bodies dropped straight down to the ground. There was no chance of survival, and they died immediately.

“What on earth…” Many of the cultivators turned to look at Ye Qingyao in shock. The Death Will was horrifying, able to kill without a trace. They had not even seen Ye Qingyao lift a finger, and those who walked out were already dead. Their lives were taken.

Just what kind of ability was this?

“The Reaper!” They recalled Ye Qingyao’s other name. She had been given the name of Reaper, and seeing what just happened, she certainly lived up to her name.

Ye Futian was surprised too. He had not thought that Ye Qingyao would have reacted so quickly. These people were not a threat to him at all. The reason Lord Shaman had been so adamant on them going up against him was so that Ye Qingyao would be forced to make a move, and in so doing, reveal whose side she was on. She would then be branded as a traitor of the Dark Court.

Lord Shaman could then use that against her.

Ye Qingyao’s actions had undoubtedly given Lord Shaman something to hold over her.

As expected, on seeing Ye Qingyao make a move, Lord Shaman eye’s glowed blood-red as he stared at the cultivators below who had been killed. “Ye Qingyao, I see you had no qualms betraying the Dark Court for an outsider.”

Ye Qingyao’s expression beneath her cloak was calm as can be, without any perturbation, but she did not defend herself. She definitely could not have made a move, but she did and killed those people. Lord Shaman wanted to force her to pick a side. She could have decided not to pick one, but she did, letting everyone know where she stood.

If she had to choose between the Dark Court and Ye Futian, she would have no hesitation at all. This was her volition.

e

She intended to tell this to everyone in the Dark World and the Dark Lord.

This was where her bottom line lay.

“Dark Flame Sage, Hua Yunting, what do you guys think?” Lord Shaman looked toward Dark Flame Sage and Dark Saint, asking.

“Let’s leave things as they are for now. We’ll go back and consult Dark Lord,” Dark Saint Hua Yunting replied. Only the Dark Lord could decide this matter. Although Lord Shaman’s intentions were not pure, Ye Qingyao had also behaved poorly. “Sure,” Lord Shaman agreed. “Ye Qingyao has betrayed the Dark Court. From now on, all current privileges will be taken from her. The punishment will be decided on after we report to Master.”

If it had been another person, Lord Shaman would have dealt with them on the spot and killed them.

But as it was Ye Qingyao whom the Dark Lord was extremely protective of, without his orders, no one in the Dark Court dared to lay a finger on her, even Lord Shaman.

“Retreat,” Lord Shaman ordered. At once, the frightening aura dissipated from the area. He turned around and went off, with the others following in suit, bringing the corpses with them.

In the sky, Ling Long turned around to look at Ye Futian with a questioning look on her face.

“Come back here,” Ye Futian said. Ling Long headed back toward the ground and landed beside Ye Futian.

“Elder brother, I’ll go back first,” Ye Qingyao shouted to Ye Futian. Her clear voice shocked everyone as they realized that the Reaper was a girl, and she was even Ye Futian’s younger sister! She did not hesitate to betray the Dark Court for Ye Futian and kill those cultivators of the Dark World.

“Be careful.” Ye Futian nodded. Ye Qingyao left with the cultivators of the Dark World. There were still many strong warriors by her side. Ye Futian naturally understood Ye Qingyao’s status after witnessing the events. If Lord Shaman could get rid of her quickly, he would not have gone to such extents.

Dark Flame Sage and Dark Saint were on the fence and sided with no one. Ye Qingyao’s position in the Dark Court was exceptional.

Just that, today’s happenings might result in a bit of trouble for Ye Qingyao.

The cultivators were still reeling as the battle came to an end. Ziwei Imperial Palace did not lose out at all during today’s battle. At the same time, the Dark Court suffered a significant loss with the demise of a giant of the Dark World, the leader of Infernal Divine Clan, and the clan’s dissolution.

On the other hand, the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace suffered not a single loss.

Supreme Swordlord put away his Will and came to Ye Futian’s side. “That lass is thoughtful. She killed them on purpose.”

“Yeah.” Ye Futian nodded. Obviously, he knew that.

“This time around, the people who had died were no ordinary people. They included the direct disciple of the Dark Lord and will most likely attract his attention. If you had continued killing, you might incur his rage. She did this so she could protect you. If the Dark Lord wanted to do anything to you, he would have to get past her first, or she would betray the Dark World,” Supreme Swordlord reasoned. “She isn’t scared of Lord Shaman but worried that the Dark Lord would take you on personally.”

“This lass is still as stubborn as when she was young.” Ye Futian looked toward the disappearing voices. She probably wanted to let everyone know that if the Dark World desired to have the Reaper, they could not lay a single finger on Ye Futian!
