The Legend of Futian Chapter 1881 Looking for Trouble

Chapter 1881 Looking for Trouble

After Ye Futian took control of Dongyuan Pavilion, he arranged the matter regarding the examination with Emperor Helian and the others. After they concluded their discussions and things were finalized, he simply left the matter to Emperor Helian and the other two. Instead, he immersed himself in his cultivation. He spent his entire days inside Dongyuan Pavilion to cultivate and read scriptures and cla.s.sics of the way.

The last time he was at Dongyuan Pavilion, he was able to converge and generate an incredibly powerful Sword Will of the Great Path after achieving realization. The Sword Will was extremely powerful, and he wanted to continue tempering it and making it even more powerful.

The outside of the Pavilion was bustling with activity. The examination of Dongyuan Pavilion had just begun in recent days, and it had caused a huge commotion throughout the entire Dongyuan City. Many cultivators came to watch it, which caused the outside of Dongyuan Pavilion to be packed with people every day. All of them came to take part in the examination as they wanted to enter Dongyuan Pavilion so that they may have a chance to read cla.s.sic tomes and scriptures.

To most people of the world, Dongyuan Pavilion was the true holy land of cultivation. Not to mention other pract.i.tioners, but even people as powerful as Ye Futian would benefit a lot from Dongyuan Pavilion.

Several days had pa.s.sed. Ye Futian did not really know the changes outside in the world.

Within Dongyuan Pavilion. At that moment, Helian You arrived at the side of Ye Futian. It seemed like she had something to tell him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Futian asked after seeing Helian You. She seemed uncomfortable. It was as if she had something to say but did not know how to say it.

Over the past few days, Ye Futian's communication with Emperor Helian had been through Helian You. They had since already been familiar with each other. As such, if it were a normal matter, Helian You would have said it directly. She would not be as hesitant as she was now.

"Something happened," said Helian You.

"Aren't Emperor Helian and the other elders around? They can deal with it directly," answered Ye Futian. Although he was the head of the Dongyuan Pavilion, he was still used to being the hands-off type of leader, just like he was when he was at the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

He did not need to personally handle most matters. He only needed to set the rules.

After seeing that Helian You was still somewhat uncomfortable and hesitant, Ye Futian knew that it was not a minor issue since even Emperor Helian could not settle it.

If that were the case, there may only be one possibility, and it was that differences had emerged between the three factions that supported him in managing Dongyuan Pavilion.

"What happened?" Ye Futian asked.

"Someone messed around with the examination to secretly allow access to the pavilion," answered Helian You.

Ye Futian looked at Helian You and asked, "If that is the case, we can issue a stern warning internally and make sure that it does not happen again. Publicly, we will state that we will give them one chance to make a mistake."

Such things were impossible to prevent. That was unless he did everything personally and went to the frontlines to handle things. If he left the management of the exam to the three factions, how could he ensure that those handling the issue would never have any selfish thoughts?

As such, he decided to have Helian You issue a stern warning but, at the same time, give the offender a chance. Otherwise, if he were to handle things very sternly the very first time, cracks would probably start to appear within their ranks.

He also knew that while he was the head of Dongyuan Pavilion, his relations.h.i.+p with the three major factions was not all that close. One could even say that they did not know each other at all. In such situations, cracks could easily appear. It was impossible for him to cause a huge scene immediately whenever an incident occurred. If he did that, he would be the only one left behind to handle things.

"Things got big," Helian You said.

Ye Futian looked at her. Then, Helian You transmitted her voice and said, "The person who messed with the exam to grant access is from the Beigong Family. He received bribes. However, it should not have been detected so easily but regardless of that, he was still exposed. It seemed rather peculiar. My father is guessing that it is intentional."

"Intentional?" Ye Futian's brows raised slightly.

"Yes." Helian You nodded. "Somone intentionally made a person from the Beigong Family commit a crime so that they could use it as an excuse to cause trouble."

"Did you find out who's the one doing this?" Ye Futian asked. If that were the case, the situation might be worse than he thought.

Helian You shook her head. However, Ye Futian saw that her expression was a little unusual. He asked, "Do you have a guess?"

Helian You remained silent for a while before nodding and answering, "My father asked me earlier, and now I am still hesitating whether to tell you or not."

Ye Futian looked at her. Since Helian You had come, she must have already made a decision.

"Based on my father's initial investigation and deduction, this issue may be related to the Yang Clan." Helian You did not say this through normal means; instead, she transmitted her voice to inform Ye Futian. "We have not told the Beigong Family yet. Initially, we did not want to tell you about the incident, either. However, right now, we have found that someone is trying to cause trouble, casting doubts over Dongyuan Pavilion. If this is not handled soon, I am afraid it might not calm down any time soon."

Ye Futian understood after hearing Helian You's words. The incident involved the Beigong Family and the Yang Clan. Moreover, it seemed like there were other hidden facts and issues that needed to be considered. From the Helian Family's standpoint, it was indeed a difficult task to handle. No wonder they were hesitant to inform him about it.

Moreover, since the Helian Family was the side who brought it up, they were also at risk of being suspected of being instigators themselves.

However, from Ye Futian's interaction with Helian You over the past few days, he could see that Helian You was very sincere. At the very least, Ye Futian did not feel that she was a cunning or scheming person.

"Let me handle it," said Ye Futian. After that, he took a step forward to head outside Dongyuan Pavilion. Helian You followed him from behind.

The two of them exited Dongyuan Pavilion. Using his divine consciousness, Ye Futian scanned the area and found that, as expected, someone was causing a disturbance in the exam venue under Dongyuan Pavilion. Many people gathered around the area, and someone was intentionally instigating the issue.

"Let's go." Ye Futian's body vanished in a flash and appeared instantly at another location. This place was filled with many people, among them included the cultivators of the three Dongyuan Pavilion factions. Some of the clan leaders were also present.

A bowing person stood underneath. It was the person accused of playing favorites.

"Pavilion leader." Emperor Helian nodded at Ye Futian after he saw him arrive. Ye Futian walked straight forward and stopped beside Emperor Helian and Yang Dongqing. Then, he said, "The first princess has briefed me about what has transpired earlier. Any objections with regard to this person breaking the rules and playing favorites?"

"He has also admitted it," said Yang Dongqing on the side.

Ye Futian nodded. "How are you prepared to deal with him?"

"This isn't a major issue. Moreover, the person whom he allowed to pa.s.s the exam possesses exceptional talent. He isn't that far behind the other person. The problem is the outsider making a debacle out of this. He has exterior motives. Pavilion leader, why don't we send someone to get rid of the person causing a commotion, and as for him..." Yang Dongqing looked at the person who committed the crime and said, "This incident should be enough to serve as a warning to him. He will probably not dare to do it again in the future."

"Elder Beigong, what do you think?" Ye Futian looked at Beigong Ao and asked.

"I will leave it to the Pavilion leader." Beigong Ao looked at Ye Futian.

"The rules have only been recently established, and yet, here, as you all have witnessed, they have been broken in mere days. While the Beigong Family is not under Dongyuan Pavilion and I have no authority to intervene in their affairs, this happened at Dongyuan Pavilion. The examination is also a Dongyuan Pavilion matter. Playing favorites and breaking the examination rules, that is most certainly related to me." Ye Futian continued, "Let's go with a heavy punishment. To use Dongyuan Pavilion for your personal gain. Destroy his power core and exile him from Dongyuan Pavilion. What does elder Beigong think?"

"Pavilion master!" The person's expression changed drastically after hearing Ye Futian's words. He raised his head to look at Ye Futian. His eyes were filled with shock. While his cultivation level was not exactly high, he had still reached the Renhuang level, and he was definitely not a n.o.body. Ye Futian actually said that he was going to destroy his power core?

Because of this minor issue?

"Alright. I will personally see to it," Beigong Ao nodded. With a flash, he moved towards that person.

"Clan leader!" That Renhuang looked at Beigong Ao. Beigong Ao directly raised his hands to grab at him. He tried to struggle but was only met by a frightening thunder chain that wrapped around his body, bringing him down. After that, a palm made its mark on his body.

In an instant, the destructive Thunder G.o.d's Might destroyed everything with the person's body. The person's face was ashen.

Some of the pract.i.tioners of the Beigong Family could not bear to watch that scene. Most of them felt a sense of resentment in their hearts.

Was there a need to do something so severe for such a minor infraction?

Beigong Ao brought the person away directly. They headed towards the exit of Dongyuan Pavilion. Ye Futian stood there quietly, waiting. Not long after, Beigong Ao returned. The disturbance outside calmed down. n.o.body continued to cause a scene. Everyone was stunned by the hard-handed measure imposed.

The punishment was actually so severe?

"Find out the one who bribed the offender and deal with it strictly. I will leave this to Elder Beigong," Ye Futian said to Beigong Ao.

"Alright," Beigong Ao nodded. Yang Dongqing's brows twitched slightly but returned to normal in an instant.

"The matter is settled. You may all leave. This incident should serve as a lesson. I hope that no one repeats this mistake," said Ye Futian. Then, everyone promptly left the area.

Beigong Ao and Yang Dongqing also left. Then, Yang Dongqing walked to the side of Beigong Ao and said, "Beigong, the Pavilion head's punishment is too severe, isn't it? But I guess it can't be helped for the newly appointed head to apply hard-handed measures. So that he may shock and instill a sense of authority."

"There is no problem for the Pavilion had to do this. The rules have just been established and, naturally, should be followed strictly. It is my fault for not being strict enough in disciplining them." Beigong Ao replied. Yang Dongqing nodded slightly and said, "That's also true."

After that, they each went their separate ways. After they were separated, Yang Dongqing's eyes became cold.

In the end, nothing came from this incident. Helian You's guess could not be proven.

Ye Futian did not enter the Dongyuan Pavilion. Instead, he went to a cultivation court above Dongyuan Pavilion to cultivate.

On this day, the entire cultivation court was shrouded in a super terrifying Sword Will aura. Ye Futian sat cross-legged inside the court, and in front of him, three Sword Will manifestations converged. The sky and the land changed colors. Even though there were only three Sword Wills, it was as if all the land and the power of the Great Path were concentrated within them.

"Swoosh, swoosh..." The Sword Wills flew all over, turning the entire area into a harsh and deadly environment. Ye Futian finally suppressed his aura after some time, and the Sword Wills also dissipated.

Outside the cultivation court, a figure stood quietly watching. It was Helian You.

"If one Sword Will is already so frightening, just how terrifying are three?" Helian You mumbled quietly.

"What brings you here?" Ye Futian asked, smiling.

"Someone is looking for you, Pavilion head," Helian You answered Ye Futian with a smile.

"Who is it?" Ye Futian asked curiously. Someone was looking for him?

"The number one beauty of the Beigong Family. Beigong Shuang. Moreover, she is very talented. She reached the Renhuang plane not that long ago," replied Helian You to Ye Futian, smiling.

Surprise filled Ye Futian's face as he asked, "Why is she looking for me?"

"She's here to learn from you," Helian You answered with a chuckle. Ye Futian was rather surprised. While the incident from last time had concluded, the three major factions should still remember it. So, what was the intention of the Beigong Family for sending their family's number one beauty to him?

Could it be that the Beigong Family no longer held a grudge against him over the last incident?

This time, Beigong Ao's actions really confused him!
