Chapter 3695: A Bad Temper

Li Yuan didn't dare lie to Ye Liuyun, because even if he kept this information from Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun would certainly be able to find it out.

"Has the God King ever left the Royal City?" Ye Liuyun asked Li Yuan curiously.

"Since he ascended to the God King throne over a hundred years ago, he has never left the Royal City!" Li Yuan said with a wry smile.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, but thought to himself, "The God King must care deeply about his throne; otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the Royal City for over a hundred years. It seems moving him away and then eliminating him is impossible."

However, if the legend about fate is true, there are only two ways to deal with this God King.

Either seize the planets of this Xing Xi, weakening the power that fate can mobilize; or add more planets to one's own Space World, whose strength would absolutely surpass the boost provided by his fate.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment; he was certainly not a match for the God King now, and if the God King truly trapped him together with a Clone Puppet, it would indeed be a troublesome situation.

So he immediately said to Li Yuan on purpose, "So powerful? It seems my original body leaving this planet was the right move; otherwise, if both my body and I were blocked together by him, it would be truly dangerous!"

"Huh? Your original body left the Royal City?" Li Yuan asked him with some surprise.

"Why are you so worked up? I only let my original body depart early as a precaution," Ye Liuyun retorted deliberately.

"I'm not excited; I just think you're being way too elusive!" Li Yuan stammered, defending himself, while already reporting to the God King.

"Be careful steering the ten‑thousand‑year ship!" Ye Liuyun chuckled, paying no mind to his frantic expression.

"Oh, got it."

But the God King merely responded coldly with that single remark, as if he didn't care.

In truth, he already regretted not striking Ye Liuyun last time. Had it not been for the huge cost each time fate was used, he would have acted without hesitation.

Recently, because the monster passages and Ye Liuyun continuously occupied several large zones, he felt his fate waning, so he couldn't bear to expend more fate and missed the chance.

And upon learning that Ye Liuyun had already left the Royal City, his anger grew; he couldn't vent his fury at Li Yuan, so he restrained himself.

However, he canceled the itinerary he had planned to attend the competition. He no longer felt like joining the commotion. He also immediately ordered the spies stationed outside the Li Residence to be replaced and killed, punishing them for failing to keep Ye Liuyun under watch.

At that moment, the host of the Martial Arena received the news and immediately explained to the crowd that the God King had urgent matters and could not attend the arena in person, so the Third Divine Son would stand in for the God King to award the winners, and the competition would proceed as usual.

In response, many Martial Cultivators were disappointed but dared not complain.

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, "Why did he stop coming right after I said my original body left? Could he be angry at me?"

If that's the case, the God King's temper is indeed not small! Moreover, it shows he truly intends to make a move against me."

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

"If I get the chance to kill a few more Divine Sons later, I wonder if he'll go mad?"

Thinking of this, he asked Li Yuan, "Is the Third Divine Son the God King's most favored successor?"

Li Yuan shook his head and told Ye Liuyun, "I don't know; it's said that the God King favors a particular prince, and even his close ministers can't tell."

"However, judging by the duties the princes handle, the Third and Fifth Divine Sons are indeed more prominent. The others may be too young or at a lower realm, not yet ready for major appointments."

Ye Liuyun nodded and stopped paying attention to the God King's affairs.

Because his Token began to vibrate, he would be the first to take the field in today's competition.

Regarding today's competition, the Clone Puppet was also quite cautious. After all, there are three battles to fight today.

Therefore, aside from the puppet, everyone else must conserve True Essence as much as possible; otherwise they might not last until the end.

The Clone Puppet's first opponent turned out to be Miao Xingkui, the senior disciple of the Blood Stiffening Sect.

"You're rotating to test my Trump Card—do you have to be so obvious? Is this a bold scheme!"

Ye Liuyun felt that after these people had examined the number, combat strength, and Soul of his companions, they were now testing his Bloodline Power. Moreover, he couldn't avoid fighting; even knowing he's being tested, he had to jump in.

When the match began, Miao Xingkui didn't appear himself; instead, a coffin was hurled straight onto the arena.

"Whoa, why did a coffin appear here directly? Didn't this kid always come onto the stage dressed as a zombie before?" Ye Liuyun wondered, noting that the zombie style had suddenly changed this time.

"Hehehe, how's this opening? Surprised? Ye Liuyun, this was prepared especially for you!" a hoarse voice suddenly came from within the coffin.

"What does that mean? Are you also trying to kill me for the people's benefit?" Ye Liuyun, seeing the remark was aimed at him, couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, the Blood Stiffening Sect isn't that noble; we're here for the grand prize. But we heard your bounty is high, so we figured we'd also sell some effort and make a side profit!"

Inside the coffin, Miao Xingkui clearly wasn't in a hurry to act and even started chatting with him.

Ye Liuyun also wondered whether the Sealing Demon Tablet and Buddha Light Power would be effective against them. In theory, those are impure items, but since they are all living beings practicing bloodline and blood Qi techniques, the Sealing Demon Tablet and Buddha Light Power might not apply.

Either way, he decided to give it a try first.

Inside the coffin, Miao Xingkui now had two chains extending from his body through the lower part of the coffin into the ground, clearly preparing to strike Ye Liuyun covertly; if Ye Liuyun didn't act, he would be at a disadvantage.

So he dealt with Miao Xingkui while simultaneously casting a spell.

"You Blood Stiffening Sect sure know how to make money!"

As soon as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Miao Xingkui felt a flash of Golden Light within his body. Though this spell differed from the direct Buddha Light Power, even if Buddha Light Power can't directly harm, this spell can cause a person's life force to drain rapidly.

Indeed, Buddha Light Power had no effect on Miao Xingkui, only causing his life force to drain quickly.

But he quickly reacted, pulling the chain in his hand, and Ye Liuyun instantly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, as if something was about to burst out of the soil.

He instantly teleported away, but Miao Xingkui's coffin slammed toward him again. Beneath the spot where he had just stood, two more coffins erupted from the ground.

Those two coffins immediately skidded along the ground toward him, each with two chains at their bases thrust into the earth.
