Renhuang Chen focused on the cultivators who appeared, only to see one of them stepping forward at this moment. The aura permeated from the man was terrifying, as he was also an existence of the Tribulation level. The other cultivators who with him also possessed an aura that was equally as frightening.

These people were from the Dark World.

They recognized Ye Futian and his party. Almost all the top cultivators from the Original Realm had participated in that battle at Heavenly Mandate Academy. Only those who descended on the Original Realm later did not witness what took place during the battle. Even so, they had heard about Ye Futian and Ziwei Segmentum.

"The cultivators from Dark Court!" Ye Futian marveled. That powerful existence who came forward may be from the Dark Court.

Like the Imperial Palace in Divine Prefecture, the Dark Court was a ruling power in the Dark World. It had an unknown number of cultivators who possessed unimaginable prowess.

Gai Qiong, who was killed by Ye Futian, was one of Divine Prefecture's divine generals. Of course, in the Imperial Palace of Divine Prefecture, there was no lack of individuals with this cultivation level, and the Dark Court was no exception. This powerful existence who had arrived was one of the cultivators presided over the Eight Thrones in the Dark Court, a supreme existence ranked close to the top, the Infernal King himself.

The reason for the Infernal King to come in person was because he had an extraordinary relationship with this young man in black. He came from the same bloodline as the young man and later became a cultivator on the throne after he had entered the Dark Court to cultivate.

In the cultivation world, anyone who had passed the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path was regarded as a supreme cultivator. In Ziwei Segmentum, aside from the previous palace lord, only Renhuang Chen was a cultivator of the Tribulation level.

Donghua Domain in which Ye Futian had cultivated before Emperor Xi, it was rumored that only the Domain Chief of Donghua Domain had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. And the Domain Chief of the Domain Chief's Manor was a supreme being who could rule in the stead of the Great Emperor if need be. Therefore, cultivators of the Tribulation level were highly regarded.

The fact that a supreme existence of Tribulation level was willing to protect the young man in black called the young man's background into question. It was not hard to imagine from what great force was he originated. This was also the consensus between Ye Futian and the others.

In truth, the youth in black came from one of the top principalities in the Dark World, the Infernal Clan, which ruled boundless territory within the Dark World. Legend had it that in the ancient times, the clan had godlike cultivators passing down their inheritance until this day. However, the true depth of their strength was unfathomable.

The Infernal Clan had produced many extraordinary figures for the Dark World. Among them, the Infernal King was the most excellent. When he was appointed, he was named the Infernal King—the master of the Infernal Throne.

Strictly speaking, the Infernal King was the junior brother of the current clan leader of the Infernal Clan. Therefore, the young man in black should be addressing him as "Uncle-Master."

It was not hard to deduce the status of the young man in black in the Dark World. This was why he acted so recklessly when he reached the Original Realm, refining the vitality of other cultivators for his own gain with impunity, destroying the realm at every chance he had.

The Infernal King's eyes were indifferent, and a chill shrouded this space. He was the top three existence among the eight kings of the Dark Court. In addition to the two top cultivators among the eight kings, there were also individual supreme existences above the eight kings, as well as that old monster who had previously hidden in the shadows. His status could be considered as being at the very peak of all existence.

Their entry to the Original Realm this time was supervised by him. In addition to the battle at the Heavenly Mandate Academy last time, the Dark World had sent a cultivator who had passed the second Divine Tribulation. On the outside, it appeared that he commanded all the cultivators of the Dark World in the Original Realm.

"Uncle-Master." Ye Futian's eyes sharpened when he heard the young man in black calling out to the Infernal King. His eyes swept toward the Infernal King and the youth in black.

Was this young man have some direct connection with the Dark Court?

No wonder he was so brazen to kill without discrimination.

The Infernal King nodded slightly, but the look on his face was gloomy. His eyes swept over at Ye Futian and the others coldly, and there was a strong murderous intent in his heart. However, he was also a little apprehensive, so he did not dare to attack Ye Futian outright.

After all, the memory of that battle was still fresh in his mind. The teacher who came to this world may be of the Imperial Realm, and they couldn't afford to offend someone at this level. Remember what kind of character the Saint Emperor of the Holy Land of Taichu was?

A supreme being who had passed the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path was comparable to his senior brother's position as the clan leader of Infernal Clan in the Dark World. Divine Prefecture aside, even in the entire world, such a person was at the top of all existences.

A person at this level was almost killed on the spot. If it weren't for the opponent's mercy, he would have been killed most unceremoniously with great embarrassment to boot.

Ye Futian, now, was regarded as one of the thorniest characters who could not be provoked, at least in the land of the Original Realm. So it was best not to touch him. Anything that happened to Ye Futian would anger that mysterious but supreme existence, and they would not be able to stay in the Original Realm.

"Let me settle the matter by taking him away; what do you say?" the Infernal King proposed while looking at Ye Futian. His group was actually a bit stronger in strength, but he didn't dare to touch Ye Futian carelessly.

At the moment, several existences of the Imperial Realm had reached a tacit agreement with one another, achieving a state of balance. If the teacher was truly a hidden figure of the Imperial Realm, any provocations might have unforeseeable consequences, and even he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Therefore, even the Infernal King had his concerns.

"Uncle-Master," the young man in black looked at the Infernal King questioningly. Would they let him go?

The powerful existence among them, who was of the Tribulation level, had lost his Divine Wheel of the Great Path. If it weren't for the Infernal King and the others who arrived in time, Ye Futian and the others would have killed and destroyed them right here. And now, to spare them?

To let the whole matter go!

Even though he had heard of that battle, could there really be someone of the Imperial Realm?

Even if someone of the Imperial Realm were really to intervene, wouldn't the master of the Dark Court come in person?

Obviously, as someone merely cultivating in the Infernal Clan, he did not have as many concerns as the Infernal King. After all, their responsibilities were different—the Infernal King was responsible for the entire situation.

Likewise, Ye Futian could never allow the Infernal King to take the young man away; his eyes showed indifference. This man was a menace in the Original Realm, killed and slaughtered at will at every turn to bring hell on earth, causing many to lose their lives. How could he let him go just like that?

"Can you leave him?" Ye Futian pointed to the young man in black and replied. He could see that the cultivators from the Dark World didn't want to offend him, and that was why he proposed that he would drop the matter when he could take the young man with him.

At any rate, this blood debt must be repaid.

The dark eyes of the Infernal King looked at Ye Futian, revealing a mighty and coercive spirit upon his person, exerting a tremendous sense of oppression on him. He thought he had already conceded quite a lot to Ye Futian. As the Infernal King, he didn't pursue this matter further and was willing to let the whole thing go as long as he could take his people away.

But Ye Futian refused to give up and demanded him to hand over the young man.

Renhuang Chen's figure appeared in front of Ye Futian, the scepter in his hand covered in brilliant light, releasing wisps of starry divine light. A powerful pressure was now released toward the Infernal King, as he could faintly detect that the strength of the Infernal King was above the old man in the black robe. If there was a battle, they had no advantage to speak of. They may want to detain these people, but it would be difficult!
