Chapter 1121: with translation of chapter title

Just as the Cheng Clan was in dire straits, they received news that Moyu Yi Cheng also opened a beast fighting arena. Moreover, many Earth Sovereign-grade ferocious beasts were fighting, making the arena even more attractive to spectators!

Forget it, don't bother with that clown; let them mess around! A hairless brat who hasn't even grown fur dares to compete with our Cheng Clan in opening a beast fighting arena—that's no joke!

The Cheng Clan Chief also didn't take Ye Liuyun to heart.

On the contrary, they felt Ye Liuyun was digging his own grave.

When it comes to sending troops to war, the Cheng Clan cannot act openly. But when it comes to the competition of beast fighting arenas, the Cheng Clan isn't even afraid of the Feng Clan.

He thought Ye Liuyun was merely trying to make a quick buck, so he didn't take him to heart either.

On Ye Liuyun's side, with the Cheng Clan's Mineral Vein as funding, the construction of the beast fighting arena was quickly completed.

Moreover, with the Feng Clan's promotion, and the ferocious beasts' cultivation levels ranging from the first layer of Creation to the Ninth Layer of Earth Sovereign all being present, the arena became extremely popular as soon as it opened.

The Cheng Clan's beast fighting arena rarely features Earth Sovereign-grade ferocious beasts in combat, so spectators inevitably sometimes feel it's not enough.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun's established Demon God Beast Fighting Arena not only has a full range of ferocious beast cultivation levels, but also many Demon Cultivators participate in the fights.

When spectators participate in the battles, they can challenge not only the ferocious beasts but also the Demon Cultivators, and they quickly suppressed the Cheng Clan's beast fighting arena.

However, at this moment the Cheng Clan can no longer worry about that.

Because the next night, two more Mineral Veins were robbed. Moreover, the two Mineral Veins were in completely opposite directions, not at all in the same direction.

The Cheng Clan Chief was also furious. He immediately sent out Tianzun Realm experts in secret to guard several Mineral Veins, waiting for Ye Liuyun to take the bait.

Emperor Xia immediately also transmitted a message to Ye Liuyun, informing him that the Cheng Clan had already dispatched Tianzun experts to lie in wait for him.

Ye Liuyun immediately became honest, no longer scheming against the Cheng Clan.

He had already reaped considerable gains; better to stop while ahead. If he were to slip up again and the Cheng Clan discovered it was him, they would surely fight him to the death.

"Don't worry. I'll take over the next round of robberies! I happen to be short on Spirit Stones lately—hahaha!" Emperor Xia laughed loudly in the Transmission Talisman.

In the following time, Ye Liuyun had his aunt keep an eye on the Feng Clan's intelligence.

Sure enough, soon came word that two of the Cheng Clan's Mineral Veins had been robbed, and the Tianzun experts guarding them were all taken out together.

This time the Cheng Clan's losses were great. A Tianzun Seventh Layer expert, a Tianzun Eighth Layer expert, six Tianzun First or Second Layer experts, and over forty Earth Sovereign experts were all instantly killed, with not even a message sent back.

Moreover, this time the two Mineral Veins had incidents simultaneously, and they weren't too far apart.

This time, even the Feng Clan panicked.

The Feng Clan Elders were holding an emergency meeting to discuss whether the Imperial Family was behind it. If it was the Imperial Family, that would mean their power had already become immensely strong in the shadows.

Moreover, they were also discussing how to seize the opportunity to suppress the Cheng Clan and gain even more initiative.

The Cheng Clan fell even deeper into panic.

To be able to instantly kill two Tianzun Seventh or Eighth Layer experts at once, the opposing side must have deployed at least two Tianzun Ninth Layer masters.

And in the Zhongyang Dalu, any force capable of deploying two Tianzun Ninth Layer experts simultaneously is absolutely a huge threat to the Cheng Clan.

What's more alarming is that the intelligence they received indicated that both the Feng Clan and the Imperial Family each have only one Tianzun Ninth Layer old monster, and on that day those two old geezers showed no sign of leaving their residences.

"Who is declaring war on our Cheng Clan?"

Inside the Cheng Clan's Grand Hall, the armrests of the Clan Chief's chair made of ironwood were crushed to pieces by his grip.

They are now completely in disarray, having lost ten Mineral Veins in a row yet finding not a single clue.

All they know is that the opponent is extremely strong, far beyond their imagination.

Such an opponent would require the Cheng Clan to mobilize all their Tianzun experts just to have a fighting chance.

Moreover, they anticipated that the Feng Clan would not just stand by; they would surely take advantage of the situation to strike them down.

The current Clan Chief of the Cheng Clan, Cheng Wenjun, is the person who had been engaged to Ye Liuyun's mother, Feng Yunfei. It is he who has clung to Feng Yunfei, holding a grudge over that matter, which has intensified the feud between the Cheng and Feng Clans.

Now, the Cheng Clan desperately needs the Feng Clan's support; even without it, as long as they don't make things worse, they would suffer far fewer losses.

Thus, another Elder proposed to Cheng Wenjun to let Feng Yunfei go and reconcile with the Feng Clan.

However, this suggestion was directly rejected by the hot-headed Cheng Wenjun.

"No way! That slut betrayed me back then, making me the laughingstock of the entire imperial city—I won't easily let her off! I want her to spend her lifetime in prison, living as a widow!"

Even now, Cheng Wenjun grits his teeth in hatred whenever he mentions Feng Yunfei.

After Feng Yunfei fled the marriage back then, he became the biggest laughingstock of the imperial capital, feeling humiliated and not daring to go out and meet people for a long time.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, the Cheng Clan Elders could only focus on the matter at hand, researching countermeasures against the Feng Clan.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was at this very moment in the Feng Clan.

He was also inside the Space World, discussing with everyone whether there was a way to make the Cheng Clan decline even faster.

His clone was also researching with everyone what other ways could be used to strike the Cheng Clan.

Qiong Qi, however, came over to join the fun: "Want to mess with someone? Come find me! I've got plenty of dirty tricks!"

Having just finished setting up the formations for the beast fighting arena, he wanted to leave to look for resources, but his clone wouldn't let him go.

"What good ideas do you have? Spill them!" the clone asked.

"If I tell you, you can't keep tying me down anymore—you have to let me go out and wander," Qiong Qi bargained.

Actually, the clone was also worried that the formation might malfunction and need repairs, so it wanted to keep him around for a few more days just to observe how the formation was running.

"Sure! As long as what you say is feasible, I'll let you go right away!" Ye Liuyun also readily agreed.

"You promise!" Qiong Qi confirmed with Ye Liuyun, then began to explain with a wicked grin.

"Beast fighting arenas need ferocious beasts, and the Cheng Clan's ferocious beasts all come from Beast King Mountain Range. We'll add fuel to the fire: find people to pose as Cheng Clan disciples, capture a bunch of ferocious beasts, then sell them cheaply to the Cheng Clan's beast fighting arena to nail down the evidence."

At this point, the intelligence network set up by Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang was already able to gather such major information.

So they also knew about the standoff between the Cheng Clan and Beast King Mountain Range.

Qiong Qi continued: "As for the tavern, you know how to use poison, right? Frame them, slip them some poison, and ruin their reputation—wouldn't that work?"
