Chapter 822: Scornful of Taking the Stage

"That Golden Pupil kid, do you dare to step up for a battle?"

Ye Liuyun was chatting with Wei Pangzi when someone suddenly called his name to have him go up on the stage.

On the arena, a youth of the Yin-Yang Eightfold Realm, holding a long spear, pointed at Ye Liuyun and ordered him to step onto the stage.

"Looks like your trouble has come knocking!" Wei Pangzi sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

The Princess only now saw that the youth on the stage was provoking Ye Liuyun.

She immediately realized it was a person arranged by Chang Wanshan, deliberately making Ye Liuyun look bad.

The Prince also looked toward Ye Liuyun's direction.

He initially glanced once and was about to look away. After all, Ye Liuyun was only at the Yin-Yang Sixth Layer.

But suddenly his eyes widened a bit more, because Ye Liuyun's bloodline and Divine Soul Power surprised him.

At the same time, he also glanced at Wei Pangzi beside Ye Liuyun and saw that he too was concealing his realm.

"Liang Xinyu, what are the statuses of these two people?"

He immediately sent a Transmission Voice to Liang Xinyu to inquire. He had not previously dealt with many of these younger folks.

"That Golden Pupil youth is the Ye Liuyun who captured the Ghost Butterfly. The other fat man, named Wei Donglai, is the eldest son of the local ancient martial family, the Wei clan," the Princess immediately reported to her father.

At the same time she looked at Ye Liuyun and Wei Pangzi, but could not discern anything special about them that would attract her father.

The youth on the arena, seeing Ye Liuyun ignore him, urged again.

"What, you're not brave enough to step up?"

Ye Liuyun still ignored him, continuing to drink and chat with Wei Pangzi, as if he hadn't heard the challenge at all.

Chang Wanshan, seeing Ye Liuyun not responding, thought he was scared!

So he deliberately walked over and said to Ye Liuyun, "Brother Ye, the brother on the stage is challenging you!"

"Why challenge me? I don't want to be the Princess's guard either! You all mind your own business; I'm just here to watch the spectacle," Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"Whether or not you become a guard, it's just a peer exchange. If you don't step up, you're giving no face!" Chang Wanshan kept urging.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the arena, then smiled at Chang Wanshan: "The Yin-Yang Eightfold realm challenges my Yin-Yang Sixth Layer. He's already shameless; why should I give him face?"

Everyone laughed uproariously at his words.

The youth on the arena turned green with anger!

"Kid, if you're not daring enough to come up, just say so—stop wasting words!"

Chang Wanshan added flavor, "Brother Ye, you're not scared, are you?"

Ye Liuyun shook his head, feigning mystery, and said, "It's trash! Even you and I think it's trash, let alone him!"

As soon as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, a wave of discussion erupted.

"Who's this kid? Such a low realm, yet so arrogant!"

Chang Wanshan's face flushed red and then pale from Ye Liuyun's insult.

"Since Brother Ye speaks like that, I'd like to witness Brother Ye's strength. Please, Brother Ye, teach me!"

In his view, Ye Liuyun was just looking for an excuse not to step up. The Yin-Yang Sixth Layer could never match his Yin-Yang Eightfold opponent.

"I'm not your master, so why should I instruct you! Besides, I only kill, I don't spar!" Ye Liuyun gave a deliberately wicked grin at Chang Wanshan.

Since Chang Wanshan publicly provoked him, he naturally wouldn't let him go. As long as Chang Wanshan dared to accept a life-or-death duel, Ye Liuyun didn't mind striking him down.

The Princess, fearing the two would clash and not wanting Ye Liuyun to die here, said to Chang Wanshan for Ye Liuyun's protection: "Young Master Chang, since Young Master Ye doesn't wish to step up, don't force him any further!"

"If I sign a life‑death contract with you, would you dare a duel?" Chang Wanshan retorted.

He tried to insult Ye Liuyun, but was publicly insulted by Ye Liuyun; without reclaiming the scene, he certainly wouldn't be appeased.

Ye Liuyun laughed aloud: "Honestly, with your strength you're unfit to fight me. But I understand your motive—you want to see me embarrass myself! I can satisfy you. Sign the life‑death contract and I'll reluctantly kill you once!"

"Young Master Ye!"

The Princess tried to speak out to stop him, but the Prince blocked her.

"Let them fight; I want to see the Golden Pupil youth's strength!" the Prince sent a Transmission Voice to her.

"But Young Master Ye has a contract with me; if he dies on the stage, others will think we killed him deliberately for his treasure!" the Princess explained.

The Prince laughed: "Do you think Ye Liuyun's words are all bluffs? You should be concerned with how many moves Chang Wanshan can sustain. This kid hides quite deeply!"

"Huh?" the Princess was a bit confused, looked at Ye Liuyun again, still seeing nothing.

She knew Chang Wanshan better; aside from the few stronger Yin Yang Jiu Zhong strongmen present, the other ordinary Yin Yang Jiu Zhong Martial Cultivators were not his match.

"Ye Liuyun is only Yin-Yang Sixth Layer; can he kill Chang Wanshan?" she doubted.

"Good, good, good!" Chang Wanshan said three times, then immediately went back to sign the life‑death contract and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

"Now you can step up, right?" Chang Wanshan pressed.

Ye Liuyun tucked away the life‑death contract, forced a nod, and asked with a smile, "It's my first time seeing someone so eager to be killed. Are you sure you don't want to live a bit longer?"

"Hmph! Sharp teeth, sharp tongue! Who will claim the victory, let's see the real outcome!"

As Chang Wanshan spoke, he flashed forward and was already standing on the arena.

The youth who had been on the stage immediately leapt down, yielding his spot to them.

Ye Liuyun marched in measured steps, calmly walking toward the arena, causing the others to worry for him.

A Martial Cultivator in combat doesn't walk step by step like an ordinary person!

"Father, regardless of who they are, dying on our family's arena isn't good, right?" the Princess, seeing Ye Liuyun's composure, also began to worry about Chang Wanshan.

"Hmm, I'll rescue Chang Wanshan later!" the Prince thought it better not to let the Chang family members die on the arena.

In fact, he saw clearly that Chang Wanshan was deliberately provoking Ye Liuyun, which is why Ye Liuyun humiliated him.

Many of those present also noticed.

But they couldn't discern Ye Liuyun's true strength, so they all bit their nails in anxiety!

"Kid, you're dragging your feet—do you want to live a little longer?"

On the fighting stage, Chang Wanshan was still mocking Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, however, fired back: "People like you have too narrow a mind! Before your next rebirth, remember to fix this nasty habit!"

"Hurry up and get on the stage, don't waste time with words there!" Chang Wanshan, having waited, was getting a bit impatient.
