Chapter 1138: Everyday Sparring

As for the Mineral Vein matter, Emperor Xia didn't tell even the princes, so they all assumed it was arranged by Emperor Xia and never thought of Ye Liuyun.

"He has at least a ferocious beast or a Monster Beast of early‑stage Celestial Sovereign level!" Xia Tian Yuan added.

"Hiss!"

Zhuge Feiyu, upon hearing that, all drew a sharp breath.

"Early‑stage Celestial Sovereign power level?" he found somewhat unbelievable.

A Martial Cultivator of Sixfold Creation could actually have the strength to deal with early‑stage Celestial Sovereign power.

Fourth Prince confirmed: "Absolutely certain. But I don't know exactly how he does it! Anyway, his methods are endless. He also has many Monster Beasts and ferocious beasts, so he's probably skilled in beast taming."

The Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu spent over two hours just talking about Ye Liuyun, and only gave a rough overview.

Afterward, Zhuge Feiyu understood why the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince's people didn't challenge Ye Liuyun, and why Ye Liuyun's public violation went unpunished.

These at least indicate that the Imperial Family's regard for Ye Liuyun is extraordinary.

Otherwise, having lived this long and read many histories, he had never seen a Prince Consort who could marry two princesses at once.

It's no wonder the Fourth Prince said even he dares not provoke Ye Liuyun.

Whether it's Ye Liuyun's overall strength or his background, they truly cannot afford to provoke him.

Finally, the Fourth Prince also reminded Zhuge Feiyu: "You need to communicate properly with Xue Hai. Given his temperament, I'm afraid he'll plot to use that bloodthirsty divine bow against Ye Liuyun. I'm certain the one who ends up losing will be him and his family!"

At the very least, we must prevent any conflict before they leave the Secret Realm. Once they exit the Secret Realm, if Xue Hai still seeks death, it won't be our concern!"

Zhuge Feiyu nodded and agreed.

Afterward, he hurried to each person's residence, introducing them to the others one by by.

At each place, the talk centered on Ye Liuyun, taking the longest time.

The majority, after learning about Ye Liuyun, felt reverence and dared not entertain any doubt or scheming thoughts.

Only Xue Hai was the exception!

He thought that even if Ye Liuyun were extremely strong, once his Bloodline Power erupted and pinned Ye Liuyun down, a single killing blow would surely defeat him.

However, he couldn't voice this idea now; he had to wait until they entered the Secret Realm to act, then attribute Ye Liuyun's death to an accident.

So outwardly he still assured Zhuge Feiyu that he would never plot against Ye Liuyun again.

Zhuge Feiyu, being a shrewd person, immediately saw whether his guarantee was sincere.

He promptly discussed with the Fourth Prince how to resolve this hidden risk.

The Fourth Prince proposed several solutions in turn, all of which Zhuge Feiyu ultimately rejected.

Finally, Zhuge Feiyu suggested: "Once a person develops greed, it's hard to suppress. I think it's already too late to devise a plan concerning Xue Hai!"

"Do you have any good suggestions?" the Fourth Prince asked.

"Tell Ye Liuyun directly so he can preemptively guard against Xue Hai's move," Zhuge Feiyu replied.

"Then might he strike Xue Hai preemptively?" the Fourth Prince retorted.

"I believe he is a reasonable person. Since we told him, it's naturally to keep Xue Hai and make full use of him!" Zhuge Feiyu said.

The Fourth Prince finally nodded in agreement with Zhuge Feiyu's plan, and went with him to find Ye Liuyun to brief him on everyone's situation.

Ye Liuyun indeed paid no heed to Xue Hai's scheme.

"Many have tried to kill me! His realm is among the lowest; what's there to worry about?" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"Don't be careless! Xue Hai's Bloodline Power is very strong!" the Fourth Prince warned Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, I saw it long ago and will take proper precautions, so rest assured!"

Ye Liuyun casually reassured them.

He had already investigated how strong Xue Hai's Bloodline Power was. It could handle ordinary Martial Cultivators, even Earth Sovereigns of the second or third layers.

But hoping to kill Ye Liuyun solely with Bloodline Power is a delusional fantasy.

Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power also far exceeds his realm; at least it cannot be suppressed by Bloodline Power at Xue Hai's level.

Through the Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu's introductions, Ye Liuyun gained a rough understanding of the others' strengths.

Of course, each person has a Trump Card for survival that they don't reveal lightly. Some things are only brought out when one is desperate.

But at least he now roughly knows where these people's limits lie.

In the time that followed, they spent most of the daytime in the Grand Hall dining together or sparring.

The Fourth Prince arranged this to let them understand each other's temperaments, so they could cooperate better.

Ye Liuyun and his clone frequently took turns going to the Grand Hall to interact with everyone and practice, making his coordination with the Fourth Prince flawless.

However, when he practices, he rarely goes all out; he mainly uses sword intent and Spatial Power to cope, which is already sufficient.

The others are similar, only touching the surface.

Only Xue Hai, every time he faces Ye Liuyun, is eager to try.

In this sparring, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil immediately noticed that Xue Hai had activated half of his Bloodline Power, attempting to suppress him.

Ye Liuyun didn't clash with him directly; instead, he used Spatial Power to lock him, preventing any attack.

His Bloodline Power had never been exposed, not even the Fourth Prince knew it, so how could it appear before someone plotting against him?

So their battle ended inconclusively, essentially a draw.

"Hmph! Ye Liuyun is no more than that. If I ambush him and unleash all my Bloodline Power, it would surely be a killing blow. His Trump Card must be those high‑level ferocious beasts!"

After testing, Xue Hai found that Ye Liuyun could only counter him with Spatial Power, mistakenly thinking his Bloodline suppression had worked.

That night after returning, he happily plotted how to ambush Ye Liuyun inside the Secret Realm.

Even the Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu saw Xue Hai's behavior and felt regret for him in their hearts.

"Should we replace him?" Zhuge Feiyu asked the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince thought Xue Hai's combat ability was stronger, and it was already a bit late to replace him now.

"Forget it! After entering the Secret Realm, just try to keep him apart from Ye Liuyun!"

Zhuge Feiyu also felt that changing people now would be more troublesome, and moreover, the Blood Sea only coveted Ye Liuyun's bow and arrow, and had no small moves against others.
