Chapter 3694: Negative Example

"Is it ending this quickly?" Ye Liuyun still felt a bit unsatisfied.

Li Yuan was afraid he didn't know tomorrow's competition rules, so he specifically reminded him.

"Tomorrow we have to fight three consecutive matches to determine the top thirty. At least win two matches to have a chance to enter the top thirty."

Tomorrow each person will have three matches, to give some people extra fighting opportunities, lest a Martial Cultivator who happens to counter one's ability gets eliminated outright.

After all, a Martial Cultivator who can break into the top sixty is already among the best of tens of thousands—if not one in ten thousand, then at least one in a thousand.

"Is that even a strong one? I haven't even used half my strength!"

Ye Liuyun only thought a scheming remark in his heart, but did not voice it.

He thanked Li Yuan, then separated from him and returned to the Li Mansion together with Li Qianjiao.

Li Qianjiao was fine today, knowing that Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness contains a Defense Artifact, so she wasn't afraid of Spiritual Soul Attacks. Yet she also saw Ye Liuyun's strength issue.

"Why do I feel your strength is like that of a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Cultivator?" She didn't know what prompted her, but asked outright. Though her voice was low, strong Martial Cultivators can definitely hear it.

The Clone Puppet frowned at the words. Is this something that can be discussed publicly? Whether he deliberately displayed his strength or not, she shouldn't have asked that.

How should he answer? Tell a lie to fool her, or speak the truth for others to hear! So he glared at Li Qianjiao, turned his head, and left.

Li Qianjiao at first didn't react, thinking she had guessed right and provoked Ye Liuyun. Only halfway there did she suddenly recall that Ye Liuyun had previously warned her not to discuss his strength publicly; her earlier question shouldn't have been asked.

But Ye Liuyun kept a stone-cold face all the way, giving her no chance to apologize, so she could only wait until they returned to apologize to him.

But as soon as they entered the Li Mansion, Li Qianjiao was called over by Lǐ Chengfēng.

It turned out that Ye Liuyun, while at the Li family, had already used a Transmission Talisman to find Lǐ Chengfēng, explained the situation, told Li Qianjiao not to follow him to the arena tomorrow, and that he no longer needed her protection.

Lǐ Chengfēng could only apologize to Ye Liuyun while cursing his own sister as too stupid in his mind. So when Li Qianjiao went back, he summoned her for a lengthy scolding.

"Are you a pig-brained fool? Don't you know how many are probing his strength, and you just asked so directly? Or were you controlled by others to deliberately sabotage the Li family's cooperation with Ye Liuyun?"

Lǐ Chengfēng, furious, performed a Soul inspection on his sister on the spot, confirming she wasn't controlled. In the end he had her detained, lest she provoke Ye Liuyun again.

Regarding this, Li Qianjiao truly felt she was incredibly stupid, sinking daily into self-reproach.

After returning, Ye Liuyun used Li Qianjiao's incident as a negative example, telling the women, Monster Beasts, and subordinates around him to be more vigilant and never reveal their people's strength in any situation outside.

Within the Space World, another five days of cultivation passed, and the Clone Puppet had become proficient in using White Light and Black Light.

"You go participate in the competition; I should also return now."

Ye Liuyun said wearily. In these five days, he had been constantly training his Physical Body with Lei Ming and other Monster Beasts, even calling the Kuailei to let them surround and beat him, while he only endured with his Physical Body.

Now he has also left Gu Changhong and the Demon King with the Clone Puppet, just in case.

The Clone Puppet immediately, amid the Li Family guards' crowd, rushed to the arena, while Ye Liuyun returned to the Space World to soak in Life Spring Water for a while, recovered some stamina, and then went to bid farewell to Lǐ Chengfēng.

"If you leave so directly, you'll likely be targeted," Lǐ Chengfēng warned Ye Liuyun.

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone notice. I just came by to greet you, then I'll rest back and leave directly. If anything, we'll contact each other with a Transmission Talisman."

Ye Liuyun had actually already prepared to use a Black Transmission to leave directly, avoiding unnecessary trouble. Outside the Li family, at least a hundred spies are monitoring; even if he changes his appearance, he'll still be spotted.

"Very well, Young Master Ye, take care!"

Lǐ Chengfēng has many more incidents than Li Qianjiao. Since Ye Liuyun said he wouldn't be discovered, he won't inquire further.

He had only interacted with Ye Liuyun a few times, yet already grasped his temperament, and realized Ye Liuyun's methods far exceed what he knows; he doesn't need to worry for him.

He only needs to focus on completing the tasks Ye Liuyun assigned. If needed, Ye Liuyun will tell him directly; no need for guessing or busywork.

After parting with Lǐ Chengfēng, Ye Liuyun returned to his residence, then used a Black Tower transmission to go back to the Western Region's Heavenly King Mansion, returning to his and the princess's Side Courtyard.

At that moment, Yu Xiaofeng and other Leaders, as well as Ye Tiandao and other women, were already waiting here.

"How is the recent Western Region's clearing of other merchant guilds progressing..." Ye Liuyun immediately began discussing business with them.

The resistance they faced wasn't small; since their main forces were soldiers, some merchant guilds still mobilized Martial Cultivator elites to resist.

After a while, Ye Liuyun altered his appearance, led the group of Leaders out of the Royal Mansion to deal with the holdout households.

Inside the Royal City's arena, the contestants and spectators were already seated, everyone quietly awaiting the God King's appearance.

The first to arrive were several Divine Sons, one of whom was the Ninth Divine Son. Ye Liuyun clearly saw him glance toward his direction.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled contemptiously.

"Only at the Great Void Ninth Level, with trashy Divine Soul Power, you dare to scheme against me. Don't give me a chance, or even your father won't be able to protect you!"

Of course he couldn't utter those words; he could only ponder them silently.

The other Divine Sons, in appearance, were steadier than him, yet each bore an arrogant aura, faintly shimmering with Golden Light—likely the God King's fortune blessing.

However, Ye Liuyun couldn't discern the power behind that fortune, so he stopped paying attention to those Divine Sons. The highest realm is only Cave Heaven First Level, nothing worth seeing, and he simply didn't want to deal with them.

He only asked Li Yuan, "That Golden Light, is it the so-called God King fortune blessing?"

Li Yuan nodded in confirmation.

"What functions does that Golden Light have, and how powerful is it?" he continued asking Li Yuan.

"It is said that as long as the God King is in the Royal City, he can draw upon the power of the entire star system, making him almost invincible; as for those Divine Sons, they can also draw upon the power of the whole planet."

If he leaves the Royal City, the God King can only borrow the power of a neighboring planet, and the Prince can only borrow the power of a neighboring city.

Leaving this star system, this fortune no longer offers them protection.
