Chapter 3640: The Hunt Begins

Qian Meng silently looked at the Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun. Their realms were low, but before the many masters they showed no fear, only great excitement.

Especially since this Secret Realm contest allows each participant only ten guards. The Space World and Storage Ring cannot be opened, so the guards' realms are basically Ninth Layer or higher; the few Monster Beasts have the lowest realms.

"If we kill all these forces, will it cause trouble for the master?" they asked Lei Ming.

Lei Ming laughed and retorted, "Are our troubles any fewer? When have you ever been scared of the little brother?"

Qian Meng thought the same; even though they are nameless in the Western Region, they can still provoke the Sun family and Qianling Valley, so the trouble is indeed many.

After Ye Liuyun greeted Chen Haisheng and Chen Yueying, he immediately sent the Demon Concubine with the Guardian Formation's Kuailei and Mercenaries to the Royal Mansion, leaving them here to protect Chen Yueying.

Because he keenly noticed some people watching Chen Yueying. He feared that once he won, those people would strike at Chen Yueying to threaten him as a prospective Prince Consort.

If the princess were gone, he could no longer become a Prince Consort. So guarding Chen Yueying became even more important. As for his temporary lodging, it mattered little either way.

At that moment, Chen Haisheng began announcing the competition rules: "Inside the Secret Realm, your own Space World and Storage Ring cannot be opened; only this Storage Ring may be used.

Furthermore, this Storage Ring cannot hold Kuailei or living beings; it may only contain weapons and treasures…"

Ye Liuyun had long known these rules; the Secret Realm they were to enter was a place called Boundless Ghost Abyss, where they must stay for a full month, then compare who has the most kill points.

Slaying the ferocious beasts, Yin Souls and any opponents inside adds points, and one can also steal others' points. This was designed by Chen Haisheng specifically for Ye Liuyun, considering his ability to control Underworld Yin Souls.

After receiving the issued Storage Ring and scoreboard, they refined them, then loaded their weapons, some energy, Soul Sealing Pearls and other prepared items into the Storage Ring.

The others did the same, packing their prepared items and getting ready to depart.

"Have you spotted any particularly strong opponents?" Ye Liuyun asked the group.

"There are quite a few Cave Heaven Realm Martial Cultivators and Kuailei!" Lei Ming and Long Nv and others had already activated their Special Eye Pupils, scanning the Martial Cultivators here.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changhong and Qian Meng's Kuailei were surprised at how these low‑realm Monster Beasts were discovered.

They still didn't know what purpose Ye Liuyun had for bringing those low‑realm Monster Beasts; Black Tiger even lamented that the Demon Concubine had no chance to fight.

But soon, the Demon Concubine arrived at the Royal Mansion.

"Guard her well, or you'll become a Kuailei!" Ye Liuyun, fearing the Demon Concubine's Monster Beast nature would distract her from protecting Chen Yueying, threatened her as he left.

The Demon Concubine shivered all over. Thinking that her Soul would later be trapped in cold metal, she could feel that boundless terrifying darkness.

"Yes, yes!" the Demon Concubine repeatedly agreed, stating she would not dare any slack.

With the Demon Concubine guarding Chen Yueying, Ye Liuyun no longer had any worries. At least if the Demon Concubine were overmatched, she could still flee with Chen Yueying.

"Now our hunt begins!"

Ye Liuyun murmured softly, leading the group to rush toward the Teleportation Array.

Over two hundred teams were participating, and many had already marked Ye Liuyun's party as prey, eyeing them greedily; indeed, quite a few had already treated them as quarry.

"Heh heh, let's see who's the prey and who's the hunter!" Lei Ming pursed his lips, sparring verbally with those mocking them.

Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming and the others had the lowest realms here, so even though they carried a few hidden‑realm Kuailei, the others paid them no mind.

The Teleportation Array…

…inside, many had already entered the Boundless Ghost Abyss Secret Realm via the Teleportation Array. This array randomly transports each team to different locations each time, preventing them from clustering together.

Ye Liuyun was unhurried; after most had entered, he led the group onto the Teleportation Array.

After a wave of dizziness, Ye Liuyun and the others found themselves inside the Boundless Ghost Abyss.

"This aura… is just like the Underworld!"

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun immediately sensed the dense yin‑ghost aura here, its intensity rivaling that of the Underworld.

He instantly suspected it might be a fragment of a powerful Underworld cultivator's Space World that fell here, or a piece brought out by a strong Underworld being.

His Divine Sense then radiated outward, probing the surroundings. He quickly found that the yin‑ghost aura here partially blocked his Divine Sense; even with its strength, it could only scan up to ten li around him.

"The aura here can block Divine Sense probing!" the others echoed Ye Liuyun's feeling.

"My Divine Sense probing is unaffected!" the Demon King announced.

"So am I! Moreover, the aura here aids our cultivation." Bà Tiān replied to the Demon King.

"It seems these two Yin Souls are well adapted to this environment."

Ye Liuyun thought of this and immediately released his Underworld Lord aura; his Divine Sense suddenly became unimpeded, instantly spreading tens of thousands of li.

This distance far exceeds what he can scan in the Taixu World; even the Demon King and Bà Tiān, whose Divine Soul Power surpasses his, cannot see that far.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun not only scanned the surroundings but also sensed a direction where the yin energy was denser. He pointed that way, urging everyone to advance.

Ye Liuyun also tested his Space World and Storage Ring; indeed both remained sealed. He guessed other void restrictions were at work here.

"Little brother, why not summon the Underworld Gate and just seal this place!" Lei Ming, hugging Ye Liuyun's arm, suggested.

She was more afraid of these yin‑ghost things, never knowing when they might suddenly leap out to attack her.

"No need to fear; the thunder spirit within you can now repel some ordinary Yin Soul attacks!"

Ye Liuyun patted her head, comforting her: "The situation here is unclear, and many Martial Cultivators are watching us from outside; we cannot reveal our strength this early!"

After speaking, he withdrew his Underworld Lord aura, leaving the Demon King and Bà Tiān to scout.

Though he had only briefly emitted the aura, it already made the Yin Souls and ferocious beasts within tens of thousands of li sense a powerful presence, scattering many strong beings on the outskirts.

If Ye Liuyun released that aura again, they would likely earn no points along the way. Recently the transcoding is severe, giving us more motivation, updates faster, please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
