Ye Yuan sneered when he heard that and said, “Is that so? You didn’t just make a move to stop earlier, right?”
Qian Ye’s brows raised up, and he still said calmly, “A Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, if killed, then killed, it’s of no importance to the sect.”
The moment these words came out, the other people all revealed strange expressions.
Of no importance?
A peerless genius who fused Sword Dao laws and spatial law was actually of no importance to the sect?
These words were truly shameless!
“H-Heh heh, a trash like you can even enter the sect, I can’t?” Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said sarcastically.
Qian Ye’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said unhappily, “You said that I’m trash?”
Qian Ye was an outstanding person of the young generation and had long promoted to an inner-disciple. He was a pillar of the Soaring Flower lineage.
Now, he was actually said to be trash by someone.
“An exalted Celestial Deity powerhouse sneak attacked and actually couldn’t even kill a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord. I say, are you trash or not? What use does the sect want a trash like you for?”
Ye Yuan’s sharp retort rendered Qian Ye speechless.
Ye Yuan comprehended spatial law and was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.
Wanting to sneak attack, one must reduce the undulations of space to freezing point.
This was still when Ye Yuan and Zhong Hanlin were currently fighting, the majority of his mind placed on Zhong Hanlin.
Otherwise, if he wanted to ambush, it would be totally impossible.
But even so, he still failed.
Ye Yuan’s sensitivity to spatial law exceeded his imagination.
Qian Ye’s expression was livid as he said in a solemn voice, “Razor-tongued brat, but it doesn’t matter, because you won’t be able to speak anymore very soon.”
Finished talking, Qian Ye’s Celestial Deity Realm pressure suddenly erupted and was about to take action against Ye Yuan.
Suddenly, a graceful figure dashed out swiftly, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.
Qian Ye’s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, “Baili Qingyan, you want to get in my way?”
Baili Qingyan’s expression was calm as she said, “Before completing the first round assessment, he’s my companion. No one is allowed to kill him!”
Qian Ye’s expression changed and he said with a cold snort, “With just you?”
From when he saw Ye Yuan fighting Zhong Hanlin and Duan Qinghong alone, he already decided to kill Ye Yuan.
Such a monstrous existence would surely break the Shadowmoon Sect’s current structure.
Currently, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was at hand, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
The entrance examination this time, he just so happened to be picked to be in charge of supervising and protecting these disciples.
But he did not expect that he encountered such a thing.
Hence, he decisively made a move to ambush Ye Yuan.
While talking, Qian Ye’s aura grew even stronger. Baili Qingyan’s power improved greatly, but it was still too weak in front of Qian Ye.
Ye Yuan’s face fell, planning on letting Dustless take action.
That evil spirit was currently Ye Yuan’s trump card. In this foreign sect, Ye Yuan did not wish to expose him prematurely, so he did not take action all along.
As long as Dustless made a move, finishing off Qian Ye was also a cinch.
But that way, he would not have a backup plan anymore.
The Soaring Flying lineage’s and Cloudsword lineage’s strengths were definitely far beyond this.
Once they knew his trump card, it would be much easier for them to want to plot against him.
Looking at it now, he had no choice but to take action.
Suddenly, his heart stirred and made Dustless withdraw again.
“Baili can’t, then what about me?”
A woman in a martial arts outfit slowly stepped out of the void, making Qian Ye’s expression choke up.
That instant when this woman appeared, he knew that he could not kill Ye Yuan today.
Her looks could not compare to Baili Qingyan’s, but her disposition was similarly extraordinary.
The martial arts outfit added some heroism. She was not the least bit weaker than Qian Ye in terms of imposing momentum.
“Jiang Xueyan, I didn’t have the intention of touching Baili Qingyan. You move aside, the person that I want to kill is that kid!” Qian Ye pointed at the Ye Yuan behind Baili Qingyan and said.
Jiang Xueyan sized Ye Yuan up with curiosity and said coolly, “The person that Baili wants to protect is what the person that my Immortal Abode Sect wants to protect. If you want to kill him, pass me first!”
“You! Jiang Xueyan, are you waging war with our Soaring Flower lineage?”
Jiang Xueyan pursed her lips and said with disdain, “So what if start a war? You said it as if our Immortal Abode Sect is scared of you!”
Qian Ye was angered until his expression was livid. This woman was notoriously difficult to deal with, no idea why she showed up here today.
But no idea what the hell was wrong with this Baili Qingyan, to actually want to protect Ye Yuan no matter what.
Really depressing!
Jiang Xueyan saw Qian Ye being quiet, and so she said with a cold smile, “Qian Ye, don’t you forget your identity! The sect asked you to come to protect these examinees, and not to kill them! I say, if I reported this matter to the sect, would the Law Enforcement Hall come to find trouble with you or not?”
Qian Ye stared fixedly at Jiang Xueyan, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he said, “Consider yourself ruthless! Kid, consider yourself lucky today. The next time, you won’t be so lucky.”
Inside the Shadowmoon Sect, the various major factions’ strifes were severe.
Although Ye Yuan was talented, wanting to kill him was too easy.
In short, he would not give Ye Yuan the chance to grow up.
Ye Yuan did not give any impression of weakness and said through clenched teeth, “You got it the other way around. Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
Qian Ye was taken aback when he heard and laughed in spite of himself as he said, “Haha, alright then, I’ll wait for next time! Hanlin, let’s go!”
After Qian Ye left, Jiang Xueyan’s face fell and she said in a cold voice, “What are you all stoning for? Leave behind the heavenly demon crystals, scram!”
How could the Devil Elephant lineage’s disciples still dare to stay? Each and every one scrambled away.
After everyone left, Baili Qingyan had a look of joy like a little girl who saw her big sister. Pulling Jiang Xueyan, she said, “Senior Apprentice Sister, you really came too in time. Otherwise, this guy is dead for sure.”
But Jiang Xueyan’s face turned cold and she said, “You lass, to actually not even want your life anymore for a man, are you crazy?”
Baili Qingyan’s pretty face turned red and she refuted, “Senior Apprentice Sister, where are you going with this? He … He’s just my companion.”
Ye Yuan also cupped his fists and said, “Senior Sister Jiang, many thanks for taking action to help! Senior Sister is indeed mistaken. Miss Baili and I are just teaming up in this assessment. There’s nothing else.”
Hearing this, Baili Qingyan’s heart felt very uncomfortable.
This guy really did not understand the relationship between men and women at all.
Jiang Xueyan’s pretty face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice, “Best that there isn’t! Punk, don’t blame me for not warning you. Stay further away from Baili. Otherwise, you’ll die very horribly!”
Chapter 1791. Reading Out the Results |
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed. His good impression of this Jiang Xueyan immediately plummeted heavily.
He did not have the intention of pestering Baili Qingyan, but that Baili Qingyan insisted on te
aming up with him.
Ye Yuan believed that with the Immortal Abode Sect’s strength, it was impossible to not know about this intel.
But she still warned him.
When Jiang Xueyan saw Ye Yuan’s expression, she said with a cold smile, “Don’t think that you’re impressive because your talent is high. Sometimes, talent is also a kind of original sin! Regardless of whether it is the Soaring Flower Sect, the Cloudsword sect, or our Immortal Abode Sect, wanting to kill you is as simple as crushing an ant! Just like earlier, if not for Baili, if not for me rushing over, you would already be a dead man now. While you can only hide behind a woman, indignant but powerless.”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned cold, that trace of favorable impression towards Jiang Xueyan also vanished into thin air along with it.
These words were rather incisive.
“Your pride is because you have a powerful faction at the back? Then I have to say, you’re very pitiful! Your lame sense of superiority isn’t worth mentioning in front of me! Also, what relationship Miss Baili and I have, isn’t your turn to care about yet. She only belongs to herself!” Ye Yuan said coldly.
Except, Jiang Xueyan did not get angry because of Ye Yuan’s words, but she sneered and said, “This is that pitiful bit of self-esteem of yours? Relax, very soon, you’ll see how cruel reality is. The Shadowmoon Sect doesn’t lack geniuses. Baili, let’s go.”
“Senior Apprentice Sister! The assessment hasn’t ended yet!” But Baili Qingyan was not willing to go and made an excuse.
Jiang Xueyan’s face fell and she said, “The heavenly demon crystals in your hands are already sufficient to pass the assessment, there’s also no need to stay anymore.”
Finished talking, Jiang Xueyan gave no chance to explain and forcefully brought Baili Qingyan away.
After everyone left, Ye Yuan spewed out another large mouthful of blood.
“Qian Ye, is it? Today’s grudge, I’ve remembered it!” Ye Yuan said with a chilly gaze.
How powerful was the blow of a First Firmament Celestial Deity? That was only the case for Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would already be dead until not even dregs remained at this time.
That instant just now, Ye Yuan employed spatial law, directing the vast majority of the force out. That was how he escaped death by a hair’s breadth.
The perils involved were hard to describe.
Divine Dao realm, each major realm was a layer of firmament.
The world power of martial artists went from a quantitative change to qualitative change.
From a small world, transforming into a genuine world, evolving myriad life, becoming the sovereign of a world.
Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse was when one started giving birth to myriad life!
When the small world truly consolidated, all life was about to form, it was also when one broke through to the True God Realm.
Hence, the Celestial Deity Realm, even just a First Firmament Celestial Deity, that was also an invincible existence to those in the Divine Lord Realms.
For Ye Yuan to be able to avoid this attack, it was truly incredibly dangerous.
Alone by himself, Ye Yuan found a secluded place to heal up his injuries.
After several days, a month’s time was up, Ye Yuan walked out of the Shadowmoon Mountain Range.
…
Returning to the mountain gate once more, the number of people in the plaza was clearly significantly lesser.
This examination did not forbid killing. Quite a number of disciples lost their lives at the maws of fierce beasts or died at other people’s hands.
Those able to live were all powerhouses.
Of course, if not for Qian Ye’s forceful intervention, Zhong Hanlin this so-called genius would have to remain in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range forever.
That old man in charge of the assessment slowly opened his mouth and said, “Now, hand over all of your heavenly demon crystals. After verifying, this old man will naturally announce the rankings.”
Baili Qingyan’s and Ye Yuan two people’s heavenly demon crystals had been under Ye Yuan’s custody all this while.
At this time, Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the crowd and handed the storage ring issued by the sect to a miscellaneous affairs disciple.
Seeing Ye Yuan come out, soft discussions immediately started in the crowd.
“It’s that guy Senior Apprentice Sister Baili took the initiative to team up with. He’s really lucky, really entered the second round lying down.”
“Heh, one time luck is useless. The second round is the true test. With his strength, it’s totally impossible to pass.”
“Tsk tsk, spending the night together with Senior Apprentice Sister Baili in the mountain, make me die and I’d also be willing!”
…
The news of Ye Yuan and Duan Qinghong’s great battle did not spread.
This concerned the Soaring Flower lineage and Cloudsword lineage, two major forces’ reputations. How could they dare to simply talk about it?
Although the Devil Elephant lineage was strong, compared to the three great factions, it was still much weaker.
Moreover, this also concerned the Devil Elephant lineage’s own reputation.
Such a powerful faction was actually defeated in Ye Yuan’s hands alone, how could they have any face?
The Devil Elephant lineage already issued a gag order, that everyone was not to mention that events that happened that day.
Baili Qingyan was also in the crowd. Looking at Ye Yuan’s back view, her expression was complicated.
The gazes of Qian Ye, Duan Qinghong, Zhong Hanlin, and the rest also kept on following Ye Yuan, full of enmity.
The moment Ye Yuan took the field, he practically became the center of everyone’s attention.
That old man looked at Ye Yuan with a curious look on his face.
What in the world did this kid do? Why would so many people pay attention to him?
Very soon, everyone handed in their storage rings.
After a bout of checking, the old man called Qian Ye to his side and said, “Qian Ye, you announce the results.”
Qian Ye bowed and said, “Yes, Deacon Hong!”
But, when his gaze landed on the name list, his expression could not help becoming very ugly.
The first place was shockingly Baili Qingyan and Ye Yuan, this combo.
This damn fellow, how did he get so many heavenly demon crystals? He and Baili Qingyan teaming up, the heavenly demon crystal quantity that they acquired in the end is actually more than the remaining top five added up! Qian Ye was reluctant to accept it in his heart.
One had to know, under the situation of teaming up, not only did the number of heavenly demon crystals have to be greatly discounted, one even had to share equally with their teammates.
This way, for teams to want to get first place, it was doubly difficult.
The normal situation of teams were all those disciples whose strength were not strong. Because they had to face uncertain danger.
Disciples who truly had strength felt it beneath their dignity to form teams.
“Why? Could there be a problem?” Deacon Hong asked when he saw Qian Ye keeping mum for a long time.
Qian Ye’s expression changed and he hurriedly said, “N-No problem!”
He recollected his mind and started reading out the results: “First place, Baili Qingyan, Ye Yuan, heavenly demon crystal quantity, 223 pieces each! Second place, Zhong Hanlin, heavenly demon crystal quantity 83 pieces …”
Buzz!
An uproar burst out below all at once
That Deacon Hong also had a stunned face, looking at Qian Ye in disbelief, suspecting whether he read wrongly or not.
223 pieces of heavenly demon crystals. Furthermore, this was teaming up, this number was too much.
Furthermore, this quantity of heavenly demon crystals was converted into late-stage rank four heavenly demon crystals.
Ten pieces of middle-stage rank four heavenly demon crystal cou
ld exchange for the heavenly demon crystal of a late-stage rank four.
This was also to say that these two people hunted down at least a thousand rank four fierce beasts!
Doing to this extent in a month’s time was simply fantastical.
In the past, the first place was merely 80 to 90 pieces of heavenly demon crystals.
Baili Qingyan’s pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief, with an incredulous expression on her face.
Suddenly, her beautiful body shuddered, suddenly thinking of something, her pupils involuntarily constricting.
Chapter 1792. Shameless Action |
“This guy wouldn’t have … gone to Silkcloud Canyon, right?”Silkcloud Canyon was a very dangerous place in the Shadowmoon Sect. To Divine Lord Realm martial artists, it was equivalent to a forbidden area.
That place had tens of thousands of Blackwater Salamanders!
Those Blackwater Salamanders, the weak ones were rank three, but those of rank four were absolutely no less than thousands.
What was even more frightening was that there was even a rank five existence in there!
Baili Qingyan suddenly remembered that she and Ye Yuan had once gone to the Silkcloud Canyon’s entrance area.
Back then, Ye Yuan wanted to go in to take a look but was stopped by Baili Qingyan.
Thinking about it now, it was only there that Ye Yuan could hunt so many heavenly demon crystals.
Wanting to obtain so many heavenly demon crystals, one must have encountered a beast horde.
Otherwise, even if one hunted day and night, it was also impossible to obtain so many heavenly demon crystals.
Except, once one fell into a beast horde, was there still hope of survival?
Ye Yuan hunted so many Blackwater Salamanders, wouldn’t it alarm the rank five beast king?
For some time, Baili Qingyan was full of questions.
“Wait a minute!” Deacon Hong’s expression suddenly turned dark, and he stopped Qian Ye and said, “How can there possibly be so many? Is there a mistake?”
At this time, a miscellaneous affairs disciples who counted the number hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and said in fear and trepidation: “Replying Deacon Hong, this disciple absolutely didn’t count wrongly. Inside this storage ring, there are a total of 321 pieces of late-stage rank four heavenly demon crystals, 2050 pieces of middle-stage rank four heavenly demon crystal. Converted to late-stage rank four, it’s a total of 526 pieces. Then splitting fifty-fifty between two people, it’s 263 pieces.”
