Chapter 716

"You say, did Ye Liuyun get the techniques?" Some disciples also felt curious about Ye Liuyun's gains.

"Hard to say! He wasn't in there long. Even if he got something, it'd only be from the first floor!" Someone replied.

"But what if the stone puppets inside don't stop him either?" That disciple continued to ask.

Everyone was speechless. Indeed, that possibility really exists!

But their guesses are useless; they can't verify whether Ye Liuyun got anything, how much he got.

Trying to rely on force, they're no match for Ye Liuyun. Even the wooden swords were beaten into submission, so they wouldn't even dare think about it.

Ye Liuyun left the Library, and only after confirming his safety did he fully relax.

Although the Library affair was strange, Ye Liuyun had taken advantage, so he was still very pleased.

Wu Qingcheng had already taken those techniques over, letting everyone share in the benefit.

Ye Liuyun doesn't have time to examine them in detail now. The Secret Realm is only open for a month, so he must hurry to search for treasures elsewhere.

Elder Song Yan gave him a map, fearing to mislead him, marking only the Library on it; other places he must explore himself.

He released his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil in midair, looking around. From afar he discovered a place where the energy was especially abundant.

Moreover, many disciples were rushing toward that place.

Thus Ye Liuyun immediately hid in the void, using Space Translocation to rush toward that place.

This was also so he could travel while strengthening his Spatial Power.

Moreover, his Primordial Spirit Secret Technique was continuously activated, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy and savage qi of this Secret Realm.

The Primordial Spirit Secret Technique could actually absorb both types of energy; for Ye Liuyun, absorbing a bit more meant converting a lot more True Essence.

After Ye Liuyun arrived at the place, he discovered a vast lake below; that energy was emanating from the lake's center.

His Golden Pupil penetrated the water surface, revealing a deep pool at the lake's center; the pool was profoundly deep, its bottom unseen.

From the shore to the lake's center, a large number of aquatic ferocious beasts had gathered; these beast groups were different, and their cultivation levels were high.

Closest to the shore was a group of crocodiles, several of which had already reached the mid-stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.

These crocodiles also noticed the approaching Martial Cultivator, gathering in groups and preparing to attack.

Ye Liuyun saw several disciples form a team and try to rush toward the lake's center, only to be driven back by the crocodile herd's attack; even two disciples were killed on the spot.

As he pondered how to reach the deep pool at the lake's center, Long Nv suddenly sent him a message via Divine Sense, saying she sensed dragon aura.

Shortly after, Lei Ming also confirmed it was dragon aura.

Both of them had been cultivating inside the Xuan Kong Shi; upon entering the Secret Realm, the air inside the Xuan Kong Shi became linked with the Secret Realm's air, and they had both noticed the change.

Especially now, Long Nv and Lei Ming both felt the presence of dragon aura.

"It seems that beneath this deep pool at the lake's center there must be something related to the Dragon Clan."

Ye Liuyun, upon thinking this, directly released Lei Ming and Long Nv.

The disciples who had arrived earlier also noticed Ye Liuyun's arrival; however, he had no acquaintances here, and no one invited him to join a team.

So as soon as he released Lei Ming and Long Nv, he immediately drew attention from others.

"Huh, didn't expect that! This kid is even carrying two beauties!" Some disciples began to tease and mock him.

Ye Liuyun couldn't be bothered to explain to them, merely telling Lei Ming and Long Nv, "Carefully sense whether the dragon aura is emanating from that deep pool in the lake's center."

The two of them didn't even need to sense; in unison they replied, "Yes!"

"Well then, let's find a way to go over and take a look!"

As Ye Liuyun's words fell, he saw Chang Hao also rushing over, followed by four disciples, obviously a team he had formed to explore together.

Chang Hao first scanned the surroundings, then said to Ye Liuyun and the other disciples, "There are many ferocious beasts in the lake; we should stick together and charge through. Otherwise, if we scatter, we probably won't be able to handle so many beasts."

As soon as he finished speaking, over ten other disciples immediately complied and gathered near him.

Only Ye Liuyun remained standing where he was, unmoving.

Ye Liuyun felt that even with more than ten people, they were still no match for these ferocious beasts, so a head-on clash was definitely not advisable.

He also didn't want to become cannon fodder for others; he intended to use his Golden Pupil to control some of the beasts and have them lead him into the lake.

Seeing Ye Liuyun unmoved, Chang Hao couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Newcomer, if I'm not mistaken, your name is Ye Liuyun? Why aren't you coming over?"

"I have no interest in a head‑on fight!" Ye Liuyun, seeing his rude tone, became even less willing to team up with them.

"What did you say?" Before Chang Hao could respond, a disciple beside him shouted at Ye Liuyun, "Senior Brother Chang told everyone to gather together for our own good! You brat, you're not trying to hang back and pick up scraps, are you?"

Ye Liuyun merely gave a faint smile and said lightly, "I won't follow you; do as you please."

"Forget it, he's unwilling; we won't force him. Let him just watch over there."

Chang Hao said this, then called the others, assigned tasks, and led the crowd charging toward the lake's center.

Ye Liuyun watched their retreating backs and shook his head.

"What's up, little brother?" Lei Ming asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun smiled and explained to Lei Ming, "They definitely won't make it to the lake's center. We'll wait until they're driven back before we move, so they won't accuse us of tagging along for free benefits."

Long Nv interjected, "I think if I release my dragon might, the aquatic creatures here won't dare to give us trouble."

Ye Liuyun felt that Long Nv, coming from the East Sea, was familiar with aquatic beasts, so her suggestion might work.

"Hmm, we can try it later!"

So the three of them weren't in a hurry; they waited on the shore, watching Chang Hao and his group rush in.

The crocodiles guarding the shore had at most the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Realm; although their hides were thick and tough, they were no match for Chang Hao.

The crocodile herd was scattered in just a few blows; Chang Hao glanced back at Ye Liuyun with pride, then led his people onward into the interior.

Ye Liuyun merely gave a small smile and continued to watch the spectacle.

When they encountered the next beast group, the fight became much more difficult, but fortunately no one was killed or injured, and they eventually broke through.

Yet the aquatic ferocious beasts before them kept growing in number and their cultivation levels kept rising.

He wanted to pull his people back, but worried Ye Liuyun would mock them, so he gritted his teeth and continued to lead them forward to kill inside.
