Chapter 3639

The Black Tiger was the only human among Ye Liuyun's followers to go into battle; the remaining five slots were filled by the five Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun: Lei Ming, Long Nv, the nine-headed demon dragon, Black Tortoise, and Shadow.

These people all possessed special abilities and treasures, and even the demon concubine was not listed, so she could only stay here with a few Kuailei to guard Ye Liuyun's house.

Ye Liuyun also had Gu Changhong inscribe hidden‑realm runes on all these people, so their strength would not be exposed.

Next, he arranged the energy each person needed. Ye Liuyun, now also wealthy and powerful, supplied each of them with a sufficient amount, enough for them to keep fighting until the contest ended.

With the remaining little time, Ye Liuyun began carving talismans with Spirit Stone, while Gu Changhong helped Ye Liuyun set up more Formation here, lest their residence be seized when they returned.

The news that Ye Liuyun would join the martial tournament for marriage quickly spread.

Night Shadow and the Sun family seemed to see hope, constantly sending people to infiltrate the tournament teams. Especially those factions seeking the Sun family's reward also sent participants, all believing that killing Ye Liuyun in the Secret Realm was an excellent opportunity.

Western Region Heavenly King Chen Haisheng had not expected Ye Liuyun to repel several waves of attacks from Thousand Spirit Valley and the Sun family. So when he noticed the sudden increase in registrations, he immediately warned Ye Liuyun.

"No problem, I'll eliminate as many as they bring!" Ye Liuyun remained very calm.

He had already made thorough preparations for this tournament, and would not be frightened by these ordinary factions. He had already wiped out Thousand Spirit Valley, so he was even less concerned about these forces.

As for dealing with assassins, he left that to Gu Changhong, the Demon King, and Bà Tiān and others. Gu Changhong knows rune Formation, and the Demon King and Bà Tiān can detect nearby living beings, so now uncovering hidden assassins is much easier than before.

On the day of the tournament, Ye Liuyun also led the ten predetermined people rushing to the Royal Mansion.

As soon as he deployed the Formation, Gu Changhong and others immediately acted, capturing alive five assassins in hidden forms. The Demon King and Bà Tiān supplied locations, Qian Meng used illusion to control, Gu Changhong used Formation to seize, and everything went smoothly.

The Soul of these assassins was all collected by Black Tortoise and Shadow into Soul Sealing Pearls. A distant assassin tasked with observation immediately reported this news to the Night Shadow headquarters.

"Even Gu Changhong got captured? It seems all of Thousand Spirit Valley has fallen under Ye Liuyun's control; trying to kill him will be much harder now!" the assassin leader at Night Shadow headquarters, wrapped in a black robe, muttered.

"Shall I go?" at that moment, a woman wrapped in a black robe stood up and volunteered to fight.

The leader hesitated briefly, but then agreed: "Go ahead, be extra careful!"

The woman performed a bow and left directly.

At that moment, a man in a black robe standing nearby whispered to the leader: "Will she be able to return?"

"Alas!" Night Shadow sighed, giving no reply.

"Then I'll go too!" the man said immediately.

"If you go, you'll also never come back!" the Black-clothed Person leader warned him.

"Then I'll die together with her!" the man said decisively.

The Night Shadow leader did not intervene, but after they left, he turned to the last two Black-clothed Persons standing on his sides and said, "You two also prepare; if they fail again, I'll take you both to carry out the mission!"

The others going now would all be a death sentence. However, when we leave, the entire Night Shadow will mobilize and go with us!

"Yes!" the two Black-clothed Persons replied calmly, then stepped back to issue orders, keeping the remaining Night Shadow members on standby, ready to act.

Ye Liuyun, Gu Changhong, and even Chen Haisheng did not know how strong Night Shadow truly was.

But in reality, the waves of assassins sent to kill Ye Liuyun were already their elite killers. They investigated Ye Liuyun's identity, knew he was hard to kill, so the strength of those dispatched from the start was not weak.

Moreover, each batch was stronger than the previous, yet all failed.

Now their two gold‑medal assassins are about to act. If those two also fail, the Night Shadow leader will deploy the two strongest assassins.

If they still cannot succeed, then no one in Night Shadow will be able to kill Ye Liuyun, and the assassin organization would have no reason to remain. The Night Shadow leader feels that it would be better to be buried together with Night Shadow than see its reputation decline day by day.

The woman who voluntarily went to strike Ye Liuyun was called Duomeng Luosha; since becoming a gold‑medal assassin, she has never missed a kill, and is said to have slain even a strong one from the Third Stage of Dong Tian.

The man, known as Ku Mu, had become famous even earlier than Duomeng Luosha and also has never missed a strike.

However, the Night Shadow leader thought they had no chance against Gu Changhong and others. Even if they could kill Ye Liuyun, Gu Changhong and his allies would probably kill Duomeng Luosha and Ku Mu.

After Ye Liuyun's group eliminated the assassins, no more assassins appeared, allowing their team to reach the Royal Mansion smoothly.

When Chen Haisheng learned that Ye Liuyun had completely wiped out Thousand Spirit Valley, he let out a sigh of lament. Looking again at Gu Changhong beside Ye Liuyun, he felt a strong sense of oppression.

He then finally understood why his daughter had such confidence in Ye Liuyun.

"So this kid's strength is actually this great! Now that he has taken Thousand Spirit Valley, the shortfall of high‑end combat power around him is also filled!"

He silently calculated that as long as Ye Liuyun does not die at Night Shadow's hands, he will eventually become the God King of the central dynasty.

Thus he looked forward even more to cooperating with Ye Liuyun. He knows his own strength and does not covet the God King's position; maintaining his status as Western Region Heavenly King is enough.

The other factions drawn by the Sun family's bounty, although aware of the name Thousand Spirit Valley, have mostly never seen Gu Changhong himself, and moreover none of them are heads of families or the like, so they know even less about Gu Changhong.

They thought they were just ordinary Kuailei that Ye Liuyun carried. Seeing Chen Haisheng greet Ye Liuyun more enthusiastically made them jealous of him.

Especially when they saw Chen Yueying gazing at Ye Liuyun with adoration, some marquis heirs who came for the tournament found them even more unsightly.

For a moment, Ye Liuyun became the public enemy of everyone present.

"The master's enemies are indeed many!" Qian Meng felt the hostile gazes from other teams and couldn't help remarking.

"So what? At worst we just kill them all!" Lei Ming said indifferently.

"Hehe, the harvest this time will definitely be plenty!"

The nine-headed demon dragon looked at these people, excitedly licking its lips, reminding everyone to ready the Soul Sealing Pearls.

This time they intend to seize more Souls to bring back; not only can they use them for their own cultivation, but also to prepare more Souls for Ye Liuyun's Kuailei army.
