Chapter 976: Joint Acceleration

What Ye Liuyun displayed was more than just strength.

His ability to scheme Zhao Yuande like this also shows that he is not easy to deal with.

Back when they first met, Ye Liuyun treated him to barbecue, and he already knew that Ye Liuyun's wit was certainly not lacking.

Now it further confirms that a person like Ye Liuyun must be extremely hard to handle.

Therefore, when he fights Ye Liuyun, he does not intend to use any tricks, lest he damage the impression he has in Ye Liuyun's mind.

He wants to rely on his own strength and compare himself with Ye Liuyun.

As for Ling Shuang's matter, it is actually just an excuse.

Now that a Demon Cultivator has come to assassinate him, he already has enough excuse to demand compensation from the Daxia Chao.

Regarding Ling Shuang, he has essentially no feelings at all.

After all, they are of different races. Whether to marry or not, it is the same to him.

"Sister! I truly envy you—how could you have such good eyes to spot him so early?"

On the other side, Xia Tianqiong again envied Ling Shuang.

If only she could have discovered Ye Liuyun first, how great!

"You mean you discovered him too late?"

Ling Shuang, irritated by some shouting female disciples, was already fuming.

Even when speaking to Xia Tianqiong, she harbored a bit of hostility.

"What are you saying? I have no interest in him!" Xia Tianqiong hurriedly explained.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Ye Liuyun rushed back at this moment and greeted them.

He also paid his respects to Li Qingyun.

"Ha ha! Good kid, I really didn't misjudge you!" Li Qingyun also praised him.

Ye Liuyun is the disciple he discovered, so as a mentor he is, of course, proud.

"Thank you for the teacher's cultivation!"

Ye Liuyun did not forget to thank Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyun has always taken great care of him.

"Alright, no need for false politeness! Once you enter the inner sect, we'll see each other even more often. Just invite me for drinks and meat when you have time!"

Li Qingyun waved his hand and left first.

The remaining few youngsters returned together to Ye Liuyun's residence.

After returning, Xia Tianqiong arranged for Ye Liuyun to change his identity Token and then move to the inner sect.

Ye Liuyun was not in a hurry, saying he would go to the inner sect after a few days.

"Fine, in a few days Ling Shuang will also go to the inner sect, and you can move together. I'll go back first and prepare a residence for you."

Since the Crown Prince entered seclusion to heal, the Tianjiao Pavilion fell silent, and the Seventh Prince's Ten Thousand Dragons Assembly suffered a severe loss of vitality, the Fenglin Pavilion's status has risen markedly, and it can now command the winds and rains within the inner sect.

Providing a good residence for Ye Liuyun and Ling Shuang is, of course, no problem.

Xia Tianqiong said this while pulling Ling Shuang to leave together.

"Yuan Datou, Ling Shuang, you two stay for a moment; let's spar together," Ye Liuyun called out to Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.

"Spar with you?" Yuan Datou asked, shaking his head, "Isn't that just looking for trouble?"

Ye Liuyun opened his mouth but held back, merely watching Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang sensed that Ye Liuyun definitely had something to say, and immediately agreed.

"Sister, you go ahead; Yuan Datou and I will stay, it should be fine."

She also feared that Xia Tianqiong would worry about more rumors spreading.

Xia Tianqiong also sensed that Ye Liuyun seemed to have something to tell Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang.

"Alright then! But the Holy Son of the Demon Race is in the academy; watch yourself and don't let any more rumors spread!"

Saying that, she returned to the Fenglin Pavilion first and left Ling Shuang behind.

Ye Liuyun first pulled Lei Ming and Long Nv into the Space World, letting them return to cultivate, and then began explaining to Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou.

"I have some high‑rank Food Star Beast blood here that can boost your Bloodline Power. Additionally, you can cultivate within the Xuan Kong Shi for a while to strive for us to enter the inner sect together."

"High‑rank Food Star Beast blood!" Yuan Datou was thrilled at the sound, eager to go in. He wouldn't be polite with Ye Liuyun.

Ling Shuang replied, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have a way into the inner sect and cannot use your resources. You also need resources for your own cultivation!"

For a Martial Cultivator, cultivation resources are the most important thing.

Even if Ye Liuyun doesn't need them himself, he can exchange them for other needed resources. She didn't want Ye Liuyun to spend money for her.

"I know you have a way into the inner sect and aren't short of resources. But what about time? Why not use the Xuan Kong Shi to accelerate a bit? If you feel uneasy using those resources, you can exchange them for Spirit Stones for me. How does that sound?"

Ye Liuyun understood Ling Shuang's thinking, so he proposed exchanging for Spirit Stones to let Ling Shuang feel at ease.

Ling Shuang, seeing him say that, finally agreed. Indeed, the Xuan Kong Shi was also highly tempting to her.

She also wasn't lacking resources, but time was something she couldn't solve.

Thus, Ye Liuyun pulled both of them into the Xuan Kong Shi, letting them accelerate their power growth.

Yuan Datou shamelessly used those resources.

Ling Shuang actually exchanged them for Spirit Stones and gave them to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't refuse. As long as Ling Shuang could cultivate peacefully, he thought it made no difference. After all, Ling Shuang didn't need those Spirit Stones.

But Ling Shuang still felt grateful. High‑rank Food Star Beast blood wasn't something she could buy just with Spirit Stones.

That Food Star Beast blood can strengthen Bloodline Power, equivalent to enhancing a Martial Cultivator's cultivation talent.

Although it cannot directly raise the realm, its significance is great, allowing a Martial Cultivator to speed up future cultivation.

This time, Ye Liuyun also opened the supply of Food Star Beast blood to his own ferocious beasts, letting them all improve together.

After enhancing their bloodlines, everyone cultivated inside the Xuan Kong Shi, increasing their cultivation speed.

At this time, the news that Ye Liuyun had unified the Moyu and been ennobled as the Brave and Fierce King had already spread throughout the Zhongyang Dalu.

However, ordinary commoners rarely discuss this topic. To them, events occurring in the border regions of the Zhongyang Dalu are too far away.

Only some noble families would care about such matters.

In the central region of the Zhongyang Dalu, some hidden-world clans situated close to the Daxia Chao imperial palace possess unfathomable strength.

Even the imperial household dares not lightly provoke these clans.

The Feng Clan is such a power.

No one knows exactly how long the Feng Clan has existed; everyone only knows that it already existed before the founding of the Daxia Chao.

To be precise, without the Feng Clan's support, the Daxia Chao might not even bear the surname Xia.

The Feng Clan acts low-key, but its strength should not be underestimated. Apart from the locals who have a slight understanding of it, only those hidden-world great powers and the rulers of the imperial household know of its existence.

Even those princes vying for power rarely come into contact with the Feng Clan's kind of influence. Even if they know of it, the Feng Clan does not directly involve itself in the struggle for power.

If they truly wished to participate, there would be nothing left for the Daxia Chao to do.
