Chapter 1036

Cheng Yudu immediately guessed it was Ye Liuyun who did it, but couldn't stop it. With so many Sect powerhouses, even if he wanted to silence them, he couldn't manage.

"Damn Ye Liuyun, kill him for me!" Cheng Yudu roared furiously into the Transmission Talisman.

That night, several more batches of Shadow went to kill Ye Liuyun, but the result was still that they were all wiped out by the garrisoned Elders, none surviving.

The Sect Master of the War Dragon Sect, upon hearing that the Shadow Concealment Technique had spread, also couldn't help laughing loudly.

"This move is vicious enough! The Shadow will have a headache now!"

Then he also ordered: "Let all disciples copy the Shadow Concealment Technique into booklets overnight, and distribute them at the competition grounds tomorrow. We'll also give it a push, to take revenge on the Shadow for daring to look down on our War Dragon Sect!"

Thus, all disciples of the War Dragon Sect got busy, each having to copy at least three copies of the Shadow Concealment Technique for distribution the next day.

Ye Liuyun also felt the Shadow's retaliation that night, and could even imagine Cheng Yudu's furious appearance.

What he didn't expect was that, when they arrived at the competition grounds, the War Dragon Sect was already distributing Shadow Concealment Technique booklets to the spectators.

Even if not everyone could get a copy, they could still borrow and read them at key passageways.

Martial Cultivators have superhuman memory; even the dullest Martial Cultivator can remember it after a few readings.

Thus, tens of thousands of spectators in the venue learned the Shadow Concealment Technique. Many immediately used Transmission Talismans to pass it on.

When Cheng Yudu came to watch the match, seeing this scene, he nearly fainted from anger. He didn't even watch the match, flicked his sleeves and left.

"Hahaha!" Li Qingyun just kept laughing.

The entire competition grounds erupted in an uproar. The spectators also didn't expect that coming to watch a match, they could also obtain such a technique.

"This ticket was totally worth it!"

The whole venue was filled with cheers, every face bearing a smile.

Liang Xue looked at Ye Liuyun, also wearing a happy expression.

"Still, Xue'er you're amazing! Now the Shadow will have a headache!" Ye Liuyun praised.

After they were happy for a while, Liang Xue also reminded Ye Liuyun:

"I estimate the Shadow will have Cheng Yudu come kill you directly; if he succeeds, the Shadow won't let him off either. If he fails, it will still count as using your hand to get rid of him."

Ye Liuyun nodded, feeling Liang Xue's analysis made sense.

After such a big incident, the Shadow will definitely seek someone to take responsibility, and that person is naturally Cheng Yudu.

"I don't know whether the Shadow's punishment will also involve the Crown Prince!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at Crown Prince Xia Tianqiong, noticing he was using cultivation to conceal his embarrassment.

Then he spoke to comfort Liang Xue: "It's fine, just the first level of the Life and Death realm, merely an early-stage Earth Sovereign; I can easily handle him!"

For Sovereign-realm experts, Ye Liuyun usually didn't deliberately distinguish between Earth Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign before, because to him those were unattainable realms.

Moreover, most of the time, even without explicit clarification, everyone knows that the usually mentioned Sovereign realm refers to Earth Sovereign experts.

As for Heavenly Sovereign realm experts, they are indeed rare, and people seldom mention them.

And now, just the Sovereign-realm Yin Souls, Ye Liuyun has already harvested nearly a hundred. Around him, there are also not a few Sovereign-realm ferocious beasts.

So he feels that as he encounters ever higher realms, it's necessary to make a distinction to avoid future misunderstandings.

Sovereign-realm experts of the Life and Death realm are all called Earth Sovereign.

And Sovereign-realm experts of the Qiankun realm belong to the Heavenly Sovereign category, usually old monsters who guard the great clans.

"How about I have Qing Lin protect you? Qing Lin is a Heavenly Sovereign!" Liang Xue suggested.

"That Qing Lin fellow hides his strength quite deeply!" Ye Liuyun only now learned Qing Lin's true realm.

"He didn't intentionally hide it from you. He just had a mission at the time!" Liang Xue also explained a few words for Qing Lin.

"Don't worry, Xue'er, the trouble I caused, I can handle it!"

Ye Liuyun had already regarded the Shadow as a whetstone in his heart.

If he can't even handle the Shadow, then there's no talk of dealing with the Underworld God later.

Xia Tianqiong also reminded Ye Liuyun not to take the Shadow lightly.

"It's said that the Shadow possesses experts of Heavenly Sovereign level!"

"Hmm! That also makes sense. After all, a force that has existed for so long couldn't stand without a strong expert!" Ye Liuyun actually believed Xia Tianqiong's statement.

But he also believed the Shadow wouldn't dispatch a Heavenly Sovereign to kill him over this matter.

Such Heavenly Sovereign-level experts generally don't show up unless the organization faces life-or-death peril.

When the clamor inside the venue gradually subsided, the Steward Elder of the War Dragon Sect then announced the start of that day's competition.

In Ye Liuyun's group, he ranked first.

From second to fifth place, each had lost only one match, Liang Xue among them. Thus, these four people needed to determine their rankings first.

In the end, Liang Xue defeated two opponents, but when facing Liang Yufeng, she felt her chances were slim, so she directly gave up the challenge.

Thus, the rankings in the Zao Hua Second Realm were: Ye Liuyun first, Liang Yufeng second, Liang Xue third.

Those ranked lower also knew their own strength, with no one further challenging, so the top ten rankings were basically set.

"If you come challenge me, release the Zao Hua domain, I will leave the Storage Ring I prepared for you inside it." Ye Liuyun sent a mental transmission to Liang Xue via Divine Sense.

"Good! I also wanted to test just how big the gap between us is!"

Liang Xue also became interested.

Just as the Elder thought this group's ranking was already fixed and was about to announce the result, Liang Xue suddenly proposed to challenge Ye Liuyun.

The Elders of the Heavenly Heart Sect, upon hearing that Liang Xue wanted to challenge Ye Liuyun, were all shocked dumbfounded.

"What's gotten into this girl! Weren't we already told her that getting third place would be enough?"

Other disciples of the same rank also gloomily looked at Liang Xue with schadenfreude.

"This little wench has gone mad, daring to provoke Ye Liuyun, that Killer God! That guy won't show mercy just because she's pretty!"

"He might even lose his life here, for nothing but a third place!"

When Ye Liuyun killed Xing Yao, he left these disciples with a too-deep impression.

Even the disciples who had been eliminated now showed hopeful expressions.

"If Ye Liuyun kills her, I'll have another chance to get into the top ten!"

"Are you sure?" Even the Steward Elder in charge of their arena couldn't help asking Liang Xue.

Having watched their matches these days, he was certain Liang Xue was no match for Ye Liuyun. He also didn't want Liang Xue to die at Ye Liuyun's hands at the last moment.

"I'm sure!"

Liang Xue replied affirmatively.
