Chapter 928: Mysterious Person

"At least three ferocious beasts of second-level Life and Death Realm or higher. This person is a gun-wielding Martial Cultivator!" Ye Liuyun finally concluded.

"I don't know if this gun-wielding person is the same one who tried to kill me! The technique is similar!" He secretly guessed the identity of this mysterious person in his heart.

Because the people who were shot were hit in the same spot as the shot that attacked Ye Liuyun—right in the center of the chest.

All were killed with a single shot, leaving a large hole in the chest.

Seeing these people's wounds, Ye Liuyun still felt a lingering shock from the shot that hit him.

He immediately took off the damaged Exotic Scale Armor, put on his own Divine Artifact Transforming Armor, and focused on defending his chest.

Adding the Divine Artifact Protective Robe inside, having two divine artifacts inside and out, he felt somewhat reassured.

"Ice Demon Tiger, come in with me."

Ye Liuyun also released the Ice Demon Tiger, letting it follow him inside.

The Ghost Butterfly also remained on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, not put away by him.

"If I don't come out after three days inside, you should just leave without waiting for me." Ye Liuyun finally instructed Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.

Seeing Ye Liuyun so serious, they couldn't help but worry for him.

"Forget it then! Anyway, there's nothing useful for us in the Demon Palace!" Ling Shuang still didn't know that Ye Liuyun could absorb and refine Demon Race energy.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, but walked firmly toward the Demon Palace, showing his attitude with action.

Having come this far, if he didn't dare go in, he would leave with regret.

Once such regret is magnified in his future cultivation, it will become his inner demon.

Just before Ye Liuyun was about to enter the Demon Palace, he circulated Buddha Light Power, enveloping his whole body in golden light, intending to use this power for defense so he wouldn't be attacked upon entry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped forward, a huge force bounced him back.

"Huh? Can't get in?"

Ye Liuyun opened his Golden Pupil and discovered that what bounced him out was not a formation but pure Demon Qi.

"It seems the Demon Palace has a restriction that blocks any force that could counter it from entering!"

Ye Liuyun secretly thought, then immediately rotated his Buddha Light Power throughout his body, gradually transforming it into Demon Qi.

This time, as he stepped again, he crossed the threshold in a single stride.

The Ice Demon Tiger and Ghost Butterfly, however, faced no hindrance at all and easily followed him in.

"What kind of power is this, and it can even be transformed?" Ling Shuang didn't quite understand.

Yuan Datou shook his head. He had never heard Ye Liuyun talk about it, only knowing that this power could be used for defense.

"The boss has all kinds of abilities—how would I know!"

The longer Yuan Datou stayed with Ye Liuyun, the more he admired him.

Ye Liuyun's talents never ceased to amaze, constantly bringing surprises. Moreover, following Ye Liuyun always allowed him to scoop up plenty of good resources.

Most importantly, Ye Liuyun is utterly sincere to his friends, never betraying them, and is also very generous toward them.

In this martial world, such quality is already extremely rare.

How many people, for a little resource, secretly strike against their friends.

This is exactly what Yuan Datou values most!

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun's independent, unyielding character—never bowing to power—also suits his temperament.

That is why he has always firmly stood beside Ye Liuyun, never questioning why.

Ye Liuyun feels the same—he enjoys befriending Yuan Datou because they get along well.

After Ye Liuyun entered the Demon Palace, the two of them had no mind for cultivation; they just stayed in place, gazing at the entrance, hoping for Ye Liuyun to come out.

At this time, the Seventh Prince had already spread the news of finding the Demon Palace's passage throughout the Secret Realm, and a large number of disciples rushed here.

At first, these people tried to fight the Demon Race corpses, but everyone who entered was slaughtered to the last.

Gradually, after several attempts, these people finally found the trick.

As the first person passed smoothly through that graveyard space, the others immediately picked it up.

Soon, more and more disciples passed through the passage.

They did not jump straight into the river below; instead, they first climbed down the cliff, then climbed up the cliff where the Demon Palace stands.

The defenses of the cliff where the Demon Palace stands, after earlier damage by the mysterious person and Ye Liuyun, are no longer a major threat to these people.

So soon, Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang were greeted by a large batch of academy disciples.

After they came up, seeing the ground littered with Demon Race and Corpse Demon corpses, they directly demanded Essence Pellets from them.

Yuan Datou rolled his eyes and argued: "We found it like this when we arrived. Surely someone took them earlier. Don't believe me? Look, the palace gate is even open! If you want them, go in and look yourselves!"

"Why aren't you two going in?" one disciple asked suspiciously.

"Our cultivation is too low; we lack the strength!" Yuan Datou said directly.

At that moment, someone who had seen Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou in Soulbreaking Valley immediately concluded that Ye Liuyun must have gone in.

These people then began discussing whether to seize Ling Shuang to threaten Ye Liuyun into handing over those high-grade Essence Pellets.

However, given Ye Liuyun's deterrent power, most of those who had just arrived dared not act rashly, so they stayed in place, continuing to wait for more people to come up.

Also, some strong and bold disciples entered the Demon Palace to conduct exploration.

Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou, meanwhile, kept their distance from the other disciples, staying fully on guard.

Secretly, they had also prepared a Dragon Eagle; if those people caused trouble, they would immediately flee on the Dragon Eagle.

The Dragon Eagle cannot fly upward with a person, but it can fly downward.

On Ye Liuyun's side, as soon as he entered the Demon Palace, his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil could immediately extend their range.

What he saw before him was a Grand Hall. The Grand Hall was very spacious.

"It seems this is still an independent space—much larger than it appeared from outside!" Ye Liuyun then realized that this palace was actually the entrance to a Secret Realm.

Inside the hall, many Demon Race corpses stood in place. However, their cultivation level and aura were far inferior to those of the Demon Race corpses outside.

Ye Liuyun had experience, so he didn't rashly disturb them. He also reminded the Ice Demon Tiger and the Ghost Butterfly not to disturb them.

On the ground, there were some shattered Demon Race corpses, the corpses of ten Foreign Tribe Venerables, a huge lion beast corpse, and a long trail of fresh blood.

"A lion beast? Probably one dead and one injured!"

Ye Liuyun, based on the blood trail, deduced the battlefield situation at that time.

The corpse of that lion beast on the ground was actually of the Third Level of the Life and Death Realm.

"What person could have such a high-level ferocious beast?"

Ye Liuyun also didn't waste anything; he carefully collected the intact corpses, Origin Pellets, Storage Rings, and other valuable items from the ground, to sort them later when he returns.
