Chapter 935: Clash of the Venerables

That Demon Race corpse didn't even chase beyond the Secret Realm; instead, it turned around and went to kill other members of the Ten Thousand Dragons Association.

The Ten Thousand Dragons Association disciples who hadn't escaped the Secret Realm were eventually taken down by that Demon Race corpse.

After completing the task, the Demon Race corpse returned to the Cave and guarded beside the tombstone.

Ye Liuyun went out, sorted the spoils, and headed to the Hall of Merit to exchange points.

This time he exchanged nearly ten thousand points, causing the Hall of Merit's Elder to be envious. He then exchanged most of those points for a large amount of pills and cultivation resources.

He also exchanged a few more Transmission Talismans, giving one each to Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou, to facilitate their future communication.

Then he bid farewell to Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou, intending to return to Yonglie Island.

"Be careful; I reckon King Xiao has already learned that you survived. If he sends more men to kill you, they'll likely be even stronger."

Ling Shuang reminded him of something before he left.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye out," Ye Liuyun replied, then left the academy and boarded a Dragon Eagle.

As the Dragon Eagle flew, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"King Xiao, King Xiao, you've sent me another Yin Soul!"

His Divine Sense detected that someone was following. Ahead, there were also interceptors, all Venerable-level strongmen.

He immediately signaled the ferocious beasts inside the Storage Ring to prepare for battle.

He first found an empty spot to land, then quickly set up a Formation Flag.

The Venerable-level divine souls within the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, and the beasts in the Storage Ring, he released in advance, letting them hide within the Formation.

The Skeleton Puppet, within the Formation, held the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner for Ye Liuyun, ready to absorb the Yin Soul.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, calmly sat and waited.

"Seven, eight… eighteen! I wonder if any are still hidden!"

He silently counted in his mind the number of Venerable-level opponents.

All the ones King Xiao sent this time are Venerable-level strongmen; none are of the Zao Hua Realm.

It looks like they are very determined to get rid of Ye Liuyun.

Just the ones already revealed number eighteen!

If each also has a Venerable-level beast, or a clone, this scale already rivals the strength of a Sect.

Ye Liuyun drew a deep breath, and he also scattered the Magic Vine seeds in his hand into the soil.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath, and the Magic Vine seed in his hand he scattered into the ground.

The Venerables dispatched by King Xiao appeared one after another, encircling Ye Liuyun.

No one spoke; they all silently stared at him like a pack of hungry wolves watching a rabbit.

Ye Liuyun looked around, smiling as he said: "Prince Xiao really thinks highly of me, sending so many old-timers! Who among you will come first? Or do you all want to attack together?"

Ye Liuyun looked around, smiled and said, "King Xiao really respects me, sending so many old guys! Who wants to go first? Or shall we all attack together?"

The surrounding Venerables, some wore disdainful expressions.

Having these Venerables besiege a Yin Yang Eightfold youth, to be honest, they're somewhat concerned about their reputation.

Finally an elder stepped forward. He seemed to urge Ye Liuyun to surrender, but in fact was warning the others not to underestimate Ye Liuyun's methods.

"Ye Liuyun, we know you have many beasts and a Soul Banner! But do you think you're a match for us? I think you should end it yourself; you could leave a whole corpse, sparing us the trouble!"

Ye Liuyun shouted arrogantly.

"Arrogant! Let my pet beast go first!" a middle-aged Venerable, unable to stand idly, decided to test a pet beast first.

A newly Venerable-level barbarian elephant was released.

The barbarian elephant's trait is its massive size—over thirty zhang tall. Its Physical Body has extremely strong defense, capable of spanning one or two realms in combat.

The elephant charged at Ye Liuyun, each step shaking the ground.

"This is a battlefield's charge weapon!"

Ye Liuyun, seeing it, felt a bit reluctant to kill it.

"Ice Demon Tiger, I want it alive. Freeze it, I'll store it first, then deal with it later." Ye Liuyun transmitted the message to the Ice Demon Tiger with his Divine Sense.

"Roar!"

The Ice Demon Tiger let out a massive roar, shielding Ye Liuyun. The roar's soundwave attack also spewed a blast of ice demon aura.

The barbarian elephant kept charging by inertia, but from its head it began to freeze gradually.

It's not that the Ice Demon Tiger's Ice Power is insufficient; the elephant's sheer size is too massive.

"Don't even think about it!"

The middle-aged Martial Cultivator, seeing his elephant attacked, rushed up to rescue it.

The elder who had spoken earlier also released a phoenix‑tail sparrow to rescue the elephant.

"Ghost Butterfly, eliminate that Martial Cultivator!"

As Ye Liuyun signaled Ghost Butterfly, his Golden Pupil flashed and immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack at the phoenix‑tail sparrow.

His Soul, after being strengthened in the Demon Palace, for the first time actively attacked a Venerable. He wanted to test just how strong his Divine Soul Power was.

With a single try, he easily pulled the phoenix‑tail sparrow's Soul into his Yin Yang Realm.

Then his Golden Pupil flashed again, moving the sparrow's corpse into his Storage Ring.

Over there Ghost Butterfly also succeeded effortlessly. The Skeleton Puppet swung the Soul Banner, sucking the Martial Cultivator's Yin Soul into the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

Ye Liuyun transferred the barbarian elephant into his Storage Ring.

Immediately, he placed a Slave Seal on the elephant, and the Ice Demon Tiger lifted its ice seal.

Just in the first round, Ye Liuyun eliminated two Venerable-level beasts and one Venerable.

The ones who had underestimated Ye Liuyun now all became cautious.

The elder, seeing this, stopped hiding and urged everyone: "All of you, though this kid's realm is low, his methods are many! If we continue like this, we'll all be worn out by him. Let's all strike together, take him down in one go, and split his treasures, what do you think?"

With the lure of the treasure, others also felt tempted.

They had all heard of Ye Liuyun's Soul Banner, inside which there was an army of Yin Souls; whoever obtained it would greatly increase their strength.

"Good!"

"Yeah! We shouldn't hold back anymore. This brat has too many tricks!"

Everyone spoke up, then each released their own high-rank ferocious beasts, numbering more than ten, all charging at Ye Liuyun together.

More than ten ferocious beasts, seventeen high-rank Martial Cultivators, all charging to kill Ye Liuyun; just this terrifying pressure alone could make an ordinary Martial Cultivator spit blood and die.

In Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the Ten Thousand Gods Command also released radiance, helping him resist this pressure.

"Don't rush, let them get a little closer!" Ye Liuyun soothed the excited ferocious beasts.
