Chapter 504: Shrinking Turtle

Ye Liuyun's sudden action instantly made him the focus of the entire platform.

What are these Demon Race members up to? Could the prophecy from that omen just now be coming true?

What's this kid's background? Why did he have a maid beside him go stand with the Demon Race?

Lei Ming had restrained his Demon Qi, so many people didn't know what was going on.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain either; he just stood up and stretched, while using his Divine Sense to chat with Liang Xue. He was discussing the Earth Demon Dragon with Liang Xue.

Liang Xue had just asked Ye Liuyun why he had Lei Ming go over. Ye Liuyun gave Liang Xue a brief explanation, and Liang Xue then wanted to send the Earth Demon Dragon over as well, perhaps it could find its own opportunity.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and decided otherwise: 'Forget it! Let the Earth Demon Dragon stay by your side. Once you enter the Inheritance Secret Realm, it can still help you. Your cultivation isn't high enough; I wouldn't feel at ease letting you go in alone.'

'Alright then!' Liang Xue was obedient and didn't insist. Moreover, with so many people watching, she didn't dare to openly bring out the Earth Demon Dragon like Ye Liuyun did.

This time, while communicating with Ye Liuyun via Divine Sense, Liang Xue kept staring at him.

The autumn waves flowing in her eyes were noticed by Nie Weiheng, who had been paying attention to her.

He finally found the person communicating with Liang Xue via Divine Sense: 'So it's this brat! Hmph, he just sent a maid over to the Demon Race; I now have a perfect excuse to provoke him.'

Thinking this, he walked straight up to Ye Liuyun and asked, 'Hey kid, why did you send a maid to the Demon Race?'

His question drew everyone's attention on the platform over to them. Everyone also wanted to know what Ye Liuyun was planning to do.

Ye Liuyun merely glanced at Nie Weiheng and retorted, 'What does it have to do with you? What are you, coming over to ask me?'

As for this guy pursuing Liang Xue, Ye Liuyun originally had no intention of doing anything to him.

Everyone has a heart that loves beauty. For normal competition, Ye Liuyun wouldn't go looking for trouble to retaliate. He was confident Liang Xue wouldn't be snatched away by others.

When Mo Tianheng appeared, Ye Liuyun saw Nie Weiheng hiding away and realized he was just putting on a proud front while actually being spineless, not even worth Ye Liuyun's notice.

However, if this person is so annoying, insists on meddling, and actively provokes him, Ye Liuyun wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Nie Weiheng, in his own Sect, has always been a man of his word, maintaining his glorious image; hearing Ye Liuyun say that, he naturally felt embarrassed.

'You ignorant thing, do you know who I am? Dare to speak to me like that!' Nie Weiheng rebuked in his usual arrogant tone.

Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed. 'I know who you are!'

Nie Weiheng, hearing that, arrogantly lifted his head again.

Who would have thought Ye Liuyun would add: 'You're the one who boasted you could fight Mo Tianheng one-on-one. Now that Mo Tianheng has shown up, you've turned into a shrinking turtle!'

'Hahaha!' Some who had noticed Nie Weiheng's earlier performance burst out laughing.

Even Liang Xue covered her mouth and laughed.

This just made Nie Weiheng explode with anger!

'You little brat, you dare play me!' Saying that, he charged straight at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun casually raised his hand, and a surge of Heaven and Earth Power shot out from his palm. He didn't know how it happened—perhaps it was the result of his recent training—but he felt that this casual lift of his hand could repel Nie Weiheng.

Sure enough, that Heaven and Earth Power directly slapped Nie Weiheng back.

Ye Liuyun's palm strike even amazed Mo Tianheng: 'This kid learns fast!'

Even Ye Liuyun himself felt he might not be able to unleash such a palm again next time.

Lie Hongxia also carefully sized up Ye Liuyun. Finding she couldn't discern his cultivation level, she became interested as well, wanting to see if a good show would follow.

Who would have thought Nie Weiheng was especially familiar with that Heaven and Earth Power, having repeatedly lost to Mo Tianheng's hands. Mo Tianheng couldn't even be bothered to fight him anymore.

He felt Ye Liuyun's casual strike was not much inferior to Mo Tianheng's. Then he invoked the shrinking turtle trait, daring not to clash with Ye Liuyun again.

He didn't charge again, but instead pretended to straighten his clothes, saying, 'Hmph! If it weren't for the platform's ban on killing, I'd have you bleeding on the spot!'

Ye Liuyun merely smiled: 'I'm ready anytime!'

'Pfft!'

Liang Xue, hearing that, covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

The rest of the crowd all showed knowing smiles. They didn't laugh out loud, merely to give face to the Azure Dragon Hall.

At this moment, the disciples of the Azure Dragon Hall were all red-faced with embarrassment, too shy to lift their heads and meet others' gazes. Nie Weiheng's performance truly disgraced the Azure Dragon Hall.

Nie Weiheng also glared at Liang Xue, silently cursing: 'Shameless woman! Relying on a man to back you up, you dare mock me! When you return to the Spirit Rhinoceros Palace, I'll come find you for trouble!'

These words, he only dared to think in his heart; facing Ye Liuyun, he didn't dare say them out loud.

Then she lifted her head proudly and walked back to her own group. His companions, heads lowered, dared not speak, lest he take out his anger on them.

'It's just a shrinking turtle, what's there to pretend about!' Lei Ming's voice suddenly rang out.

She saw Ye Liuyun didn't want to stoop to this person's level, but she was still angry inside: 'Any trash dares to provoke the handsome guy! The handsome guy doesn't want to deal with you, and I don't care about all that!' So she deliberately shouted the insult, hoping to provoke Nie Weiheng into fighting.

She herself had been idle lately, feeling bored stiff, wanting to beat someone up, to move her muscles.

Nie Weiheng didn't dare to cause trouble for Ye Liuyun anymore; he had already lost all face, barely holding on. Now being scolded by a maid made him lose face completely.

'That kid, keep your maid in check—so uncultured!' He thought Lei Ming dared to lecture him only because he relied on Ye Liuyun.

'I can't control her, do as you please!' Ye Liuyun understood Lei Ming's thoughts and said that on purpose. Since Lei Ming wanted to move her muscles, he simply obliged her.

Nie Weiheng, hearing that, glanced at Lei Ming, couldn't discern her cultivation level, and guessed she was hiding it with a treasure.

'It seems these two aren't master and servant; otherwise that kid wouldn't ignore her. Could it be I still can't handle a mere maid?' Thinking this, he headed straight for Lei Ming.

He said while walking: 'Since no one's disciplining you, I'll come teach you a lesson—don't chatter unnecessarily!'

Saying that, he sent another palm strike toward Lei Ming.

Lei Ming felt a surge of joy and violently released his full aura.

At the Ninefold Heavenly Gang realm, his body was wrapped in thick Demon Qi, and even Lei Ming's bloodline power was shaken enough to make Nie Weiheng's heart tremble.
