The swordsmen of Lihen Heaven retreated in shambles after Ye Futian left. All of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.
It was especially so in Fengxiao's case, who looked extremely irritated. Ye Futian transformed his music into rules and manifested it as a large hand, pinning her on the ground right there and then, making her look really beaten up.
The banquet turned eerily quiet. Everyone wore looks suggesting deep thought.
Many had been able to guess that if Emperor Xia was willing to make Ye Futian a valet of Xia Qingyuan—his most doted daughter—then there must have been something about that direct subordinate from the Nine States that caught his attention. Furthermore, with the battle records of both Ye Futian and Yu Sheng added to the list, he could have possibly been ranked alongside the most cutting edge of geniuses. That battle that just happened moments ago verified their speculations.
