Chapter 1160: No Meaning

The Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince were shocked by Ye Liuyun's having such a treasure.

They didn't know the Sealing Demon Tablet only affects demons or the Foreign Tribe, and thought it worked on all Martial Cultivators.

The Seventh Prince was merely shocked. He had expected Ye Liuyun to use the Magic Vine, but did not anticipate seeing another of his treasures now.

Thus he harbors no intention of harming Ye Liuyun at all; he can only sigh at Ye Liuyun's extraordinary luck in obtaining so many treasures.

The Crown Prince, at this moment, is contemplating whether to make a move against Ye Liuyun and seize the opportunity to eliminate him.

A Martial Cultivator under the Crown Prince transmitted his voice: "Your Highness, Ye Liuyun has released his Trump Card treasure, and his attention is not on us now; should we seize the chance to strike him down?"

When Ye Liuyun notified the Sealing Demon Tablet to launch an attack, he had already had the Black Tortoise become invisible and release it, setting up defenses against a possible ambush.

His cooperation with the Crown Prince and others is only temporary. If the Crown Prince can think of seizing the chance to attack him, how could he possibly not think the same?

The Seventh Prince could also think so. They have an equal contract, but now each serves his own master; as long as they do not kill each other, it does not count as a breach.

The Crown Prince glanced at Ye Liuyun.

Now all of them are behind Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun stands there relaxed, showing no hint of defense.

He has already fought Ye Liuyun many times.

Based on his understanding of Ye Liuyun, at least the Mourning Bell, Soul Banner, and a high‑grade ferocious beast have not been brought out.

If he makes a move here, there will be nowhere to run, and it will likely end with one person inevitably dying.

Although he also has a Trump Card for survival, he still feels it is not very secure.

While he hesitates, the Martial Cultivator who gave the suggestion pretends to watch the Foreign Tribe situation, silently steps forward a few paces, getting nearer to Ye Liuyun.

"Don't!"

The Crown Prince instantly spoke to stop it.

But it was already a step too late!

The Martial Cultivator, seeing Ye Liuyun defenseless, regarded it as a perfect chance.

He contemplated killing or injuring Ye Liuyun, not only to earn merit before the Crown Prince but also to claim Ye Liuyun's treasure for himself.

But just as he began to activate, before the True Essence could be released, he realized he had collided with something.

Then a light sound, "Puff—", and he felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

He hurriedly stepped back a pace, lowering his head to inspect.

He discovered a black, blood‑soaked claw, still grasping his core pill.

As he withdrew, the claw directly extracted his core pill.

Everyone glimpsed the black claw.

Immediately, the claw and the core pill both vanished again from everyone's sight.

Ye Liuyun turned and looked at the Crown Prince.

"Did you send him to his death?" he asked with a flat expression.

The Crown Prince, with a helpless expression, explained to Ye Liuyun: "I told him not to act, but he didn't listen…"

Ye Liuyun nodded, then turned again to observe the Foreign Tribe's condition.

The Crown Prince also doesn't know if Ye Liuyun truly trusts him, so he is especially nervous at this moment.

He doesn't know what ferocious beast killed his subordinate, nor how it became invisible.

He can only deduce from that claw that it is a ferocious beast. Moreover, judging by how easily it killed his subordinate, its cultivation realm must be far higher than theirs.

Now that ferocious beast lurks in the darkness, ready to strike at any moment.

Given the beast's uncanny elusiveness, even his Trump Card for survival may not be usable in time.

The others also worry that the ferocious beast might go berserk and attack them.

However, however they investigate, they cannot find the beast's location.

At this point, Ye Liuyun's flat voice rang out again.

"Actually, I could kill you all here!"

He paused briefly after that.

Although his voice was flat, to the others it sounded rather chilling.

Even a light breeze makes them feel the ferocious beast is right beside them.

"However, I think this is meaningless. If you don't believe me, you may try to strike me again!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly feels that their contest is utterly meaningless.

It is neither for treasure nor for power.

Instead of killing them, it's better to send them to the battlefield to slay the Alien Evil Artifact.

Having now seen the Foreign Tribe queen, he can feel even more the threat the Alien Evil Artifact poses to humanity.

However, not everyone can realize this.

There remains a reckless Martial Cultivator who thinks Ye Liuyun's statement about killing them all is merely boasting.

"I know you have a powerful ferocious beast ally, but saying you'd kill us all is a bit…"

Before he could finish, a line of blood spurted on his neck. A large piece of his throat was torn away and flung far.

The words he was about to speak turned into "Hoo‑hoo" sounds, and blood spurted out of his throat cavity.

Immediately, he clutched his neck and collapsed.

Just before his body hit the ground, with a "Puff—" sound, the core pill was again taken by the black claw.

Everyone exchanged glances, shivering with dread.

Actually, that Martial Cultivator was merely voicing a complaint; he had no intention of attacking Ye Liuyun.

However, Ye Liuyun killed him before he could finish speaking.

They had heard the legend of Ye Liuyun before, but they always thought he seemed easy to talk to, not the kind of ruthless person.

Now they finally witnessed that when Ye Liuyun takes action, he is truly no‑nonsense.

And Ye Liuyun indeed does not brag.

Just now, when the Black Tortoise moved, some of them sensed that the Black Tortoise was at the Tianzun Realm.

Although the Black Tortoise is only at the Tian Zun Yi Chong level, that is still a whole realm stronger than them. Moreover, its invisibility technique is something they could not detect at all.

The fallen Martial Cultivator was a subordinate of the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince swallowed, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start.

In the end he could only again use Transmission Voice to his men: "Can you stop courting death? I've told you not to provoke him, why won't you listen?

…If you bring death upon yourselves, don't drag me into it! I tell you, if anyone dares to provoke him again, I'll wipe out your family first!"

Seventh Prince Xia Tianyu now feels utterly terrified of Ye Liuyun in his heart, fearing any entanglement.

So he also became ruthless, caring little, and directly threatened the others.

The Crown Prince did the same, once again reminding the others not to court death.

Now everyone thinks Ye Liuyun is practically a grim reaper, the farther away from him the better.

Ye Liuyun actually didn't think much. He only wanted to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys, to intimidate the others so that no one would plot against him again.

He isn't afraid of a sneak attack, but finds it troublesome.
