Chapter 2349

Ye Liuyun and Yu Yao saw it from a distance, couldn't help but glance at each other, never expecting there would be such a good thing.

The Song Girl is now much more open, but given her past experience, she is very shrewd.

She didn't directly agree, but instead deliberately glanced at the food on Mu Tianyang's table, as if comparing whose table had better food.

This subtle gesture made Mu Tianyang more relieved, and he laughed out loud.

"Come here, I have delicious food, I'll give it all to you!"

Mu Tianyang began to tempt the Song Girl.

"Alright then!"

Only then did the Song Girl pretend to be excited and sat beside Mu Tianyang.

Mu Tianyang also started chatting with the Song Girl, indirectly learning about her situation.

The Song Girl described herself as having lived with her grandfather and brother since childhood, and after her parents went out, they never came back.

Later her grandfather also passed away, leaving her and her brother to depend on each other.

She also said her brother gave all his resources to her so she could cultivate and improve.

As a result, her brother's cultivation level ended up lower than hers.

She praised Ye Liuyun profusely.

Upon learning she came from Haoyue Small City and her family wasn't wealthy, Mu Tianyang immediately felt he could surely win over this Song Girl.

"After the banquet ends, have your brother meet me."

Mu Tianyang told the Song Girl, she wanted to talk to Ye Liuyun and have the Song Girl follow her in the future.

"My brother has many women chasing him, you'd better not have ideas about him!"

The Song Girl deliberately said innocently.

"Haha..." The Song Girl's innocence made Mu Tianyang completely relax his guard: "What! I just want to talk to him, and have you follow me in the future!"

"No! I want to stay with my brother!"

The Song Girl immediately refused, and carefully put down the beast meat she was holding, as if worried Mu Tianyang would snatch her away.

"I'm not asking you to separate from your brother! If your brother is willing, he can also stay.

"Follow me, and you can eat these delicious foods every day.

"I can also provide you with plenty of cultivation resources, so your brother won't have to worry about resources for your cultivation!"

Mu Tianyang hurriedly explained to the Song Girl.

"Really?

"Then my brother will definitely agree! When the time comes, I'll persuade him for you, and he'll surely listen to me!"

Upon hearing that, the Song Girl showed a relieved expression again, picked up the beast meat and started gnawing, and also asked Mu Tianyang for a lot of information.

Ye Liuyun could clearly understand the Song Girl's performance and thoughts through the Slave Seal.

"This girl has changed quite a bit lately! Probably under Ye Ling's influence, she's become sly and sharp! Maybe this mission really needs her to succeed."

Ye Liuyun smiled and thought.

As Martial Cultivators entered the venue one after another, the banquet hall quickly became nearly full.

Marquis Wanwei also appeared in a python robe at the head seat.

As a regional lord, Marquis Wanwei indeed had considerable dignity, and his retinue of guards were all supreme Divine Realm experts.

These soldiers exuded a murderous aura, making anyone who saw them want to keep their distance.

"The aura of the Holy Land Dynasty's soldiers is indeed not weak! It shows the Holy Land Dynasty won't decline anytime soon."

Ye Liuyun secretly thought to himself.

Just this detachment of Marquis Wanwei's guards is already stronger than Ye Liuyun's Vanguard Corps.

Moreover, their formations and tactics are not lacking either; Ye Liuyun's Vanguard Corps was immediately outmatched by them.

Ye Liuyun transmitted these scenes via Divine Sense to Ye Tiandao and Yuan Hao, so they could see their own shortcomings.

They also shared this information with the soldiers.

The soldiers, upon seeing this, were also greatly shocked.

They had thought they were the strongest unit, never expecting there to be something even stronger.

These soldiers were also stimulated and demanded to improve through combat training.

Ye Liuyun also felt that strong armies are forged in battle.

The Vanguard Corps and the Death Legion have trained for too long, their progress slowing, needing combat to improve.

"Once Tong Xin's Swallows are refined, I'll hand them over to you, and you can form your own fleet to go find opponents at will!"

Ye Liuyun also agreed to them.

"Good!"

These soldiers also became excited and began to look forward to it.

Marquis Wanwei first offered some ceremonial words, expressing his blessings to these young people and encouraging them to serve the dynasty.

Then he had his subordinates announce the rewards of this selection tournament: anyone who places in the top 100 will receive very tempting rewards and can also enter the marquis's manor to continue improving their strength.

The rewards for the top ten are even greater, leaving Ye Liuyun unable to help but be astonished.

Even the reward resources moved him.

The Song Girl was also astonished, her mouth wide open.

Seeing her like that, Mu Tianyang laughed and said, "Do you want to strive to make it into the top ten?"

"Mm!"

The Song Girl firmly nodded.

Ye Liuyun also continually sighed in his heart: "No wonder their soldiers are so strong; they really are willing to invest!"

However, amidst a burst of cheers, a black light suddenly shot straight from opposite Marquis Wanwei.

This black light was a black arrow, extremely fast.

Many people hadn't reacted yet when it already struck Marquis Wanwei.

Although Marquis Wanwei blocked with his arm, the black arrow still pierced his arm and struck his chest.

Since Marquis Wanwei also wore protective armor, the arrow didn't penetrate his body, but it still knocked him and his seat over.

Ye Liuyun estimated that, if Marquis Wanwei hadn't blocked with his arm first, the arrow could have killed him directly.

"Protect the lord!"

The guard captain behind Marquis Wanwei shouted, and the guards immediately surrounded him, using their bodies to block the attack.

At the same time, the guard captain led some guards charging at a participating martial cultivator.

Marquis Wanwei was also helped up, but the blood at the corner of his mouth and the pained expression on his face showed he was also badly injured.

Moreover, the arrow remained lodged in his arm, not pulled out immediately.

And the martial cultivator who shot the arrow now erupted with a powerful aura, already running toward outside the parade ground.

The martial cultivators around him were also shaken by his sudden aura burst; some were even injured, and they fled in panic in all directions.

The competing participants in the venue fell into chaos, scrambling to dodge.

The guards immediately rushed toward the assassin, hoping to intercept him.

But behind the guards, countless arrows suddenly shot toward them.

Many guards were hit before they could react.

It seems the assassin is not alone; there are many reinforcements outside.

The assassin swung his palm backward, blasting the nearest guard captain back with a single strike.

The two soldiers behind the guard captain immediately moved to block, thus avoiding harm.

But their delay had already put them farther from that martial cultivator.

Ahead of that martial cultivator, there were no longer several soldiers; he swung his palm again, blasting the remaining soldiers away, then charged straight out of the perimeter and fled into the distance.
