Chapter 1747: Chapter 1747 Don’t Get to Decide
The entire place fell into silence.
"Is it a mutual defeat?"
Everyone thought that Ye Liuyun was undoubtedly doomed.
That’s because the final Divine Soul attack was an amalgamation of the Divine Soul power of three individuals.
No matter how strong Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul power was, he couldn’t possibly match up against three simultaniously.
At this point, Yuan Tianyu had already sunk down in his seat, assuming Ye Liuyun’s fate was sealed.
Even Pei Yong was staring wide-eyed at Ye Liuyun.
Amidst everyone’s suspicion, Ye Liuyun suddenly moved.
He retracted his Demon Slayer Blade and stood tall in the center of the field.
Lei Ming, too, was no longer defensive and stood up.
The whole place grew as silent as a tomb as they all watched the five of them.
Then thunderous applause and cheers resonated throughout the place.
Pei Yong grinned broadly, laughing heartily, "Good lad! I knew I saw something in you!"
Tears were about to flow from Yuan Tianyu’s eyes.
"Is he not dead? Is he that strong?"
At this moment, Ye Liuyun had also revealed his cultivation level - late stage of the first level.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hide it, but his advance energy was not enough to conceal his cultivation level any longer, so he simply let it all out.
"Haha, this guy even concealed his cultivation level!" Pei Yong burst out laughing.
By now, he had decided that he must take Ye Liuyun’s group with him. Not only Ye Liuyun, but the strength of everyone in their team was also impressive.
He reckoned that even as a mid-tier cultivator of the second level, they could take him down if they all worked together.
The applause from the crowd continued.
"They really did it! They fought five matches in a row!" Many martial practitioners didn’t know how to express their astonishment.
When Bai Muyu saw Yuan Tianyu’s expression, he glared at Ye Liuyun with an even deeper loathing, his face green with envy.
"He didn’t die! Merely a lowly commoner, I’ll show you what you’re contending with!" Bai Muyu made up his mind.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his team had also retreated to the edge of the arena to meditate, waiting for the contest to end.
None of the remaining teams dared to take the stage.
In the end, Pei Yong called out several teams, until only a hundred participants were left. He then declared the competition over.
These hundred people were naturally the ones he would take to the Prince Liang royal mansion.
The audience also left the venue with excited chatter, while Ye Liuyun and his team went back to rest and recuperate their strengths.
"Liuyun! Your fight today really made you famous!" As soon as Ye Liuyun returned, Li Manfu congratulated him.
"Just lucky, that’s all!" Ye Liuyun modestly remarked, then immediately asked about the information he had gathered from the Mystique Mart.
Li Manfu promptly reported to Ye Liuyun, "There are five types of Alora Crystals in Mystique Mart, nine in total. There are two power of spaces, three of sword wills, two flames, two frosts, and one slaughter intent.
In terms of price, the two Alora Crystals with Power of Ice is priced at thirty-five million divine crystals, while the others are all priced at thirty million divine crystals. I guess they are planning to swindle the people from the Ice Palace. Looking at the size of those things, even smaller than a divine crystal, yet, they cost so much..."
Li Manfu spoke incessantly, bringing forward detailed information he gathered.
"So expensive!" Ye Liuyun feigned surprise, promptly expressing his inability to afford it and led everyone back to resume their cultivation.
Not long after Ye Liuyun began his cultivation, Li Manfu informed him that Li Yuanyang had returned and was heading here.
Soon after, Li Yuanyang arrived and handed all the purchased medicinal herbs to Ye Liuyun.
From his triumphant demeanour, it was clear he earned quite a substantial amount of money.
Ye Liuyun didn’t bother asking, quietly accepted the herbs and proceeded to continue his cultivation.
After Li Yuanyang left and learned about Ye Liuyun’s participation in the martial tournament, he reprimanded his subordinates fiercely.
"Who allowed you to let him participate?"
No one dared to voice out or betray Li Manfu, all insisting that Ye Liuyun had chosen to participate on his own and they didn’t dare stop him.
In the end, with no other choice, Li Yuanyang had to find Pei Yong in order to negotiate, hoping to keep Ye Liuyun.
"He is our city lord mansion’s alchemist!"
Li Yuanyang even promised to give Pei Yong the newly earned divine crystals, but Pei Yong did not accept his offer.
"He can also refine pills?" Pei Yong became even more curious about Ye Liuyun.
"How would I lie to the Inspector!" As he spoke, he even showed to Pei Yong the second level elixir that Ye Liuyun had refined.
Pei Yong was overjoyed, knowing that he had found a treasure, and was even more unwilling to agree.
Pei Yong also warned him, "You don’t get to decide what happens with this man now! Let me make it clear to you, I’ve already reported his achievements to the Royal Palace before you returned, and the Prince is taking his case very seriously. In three days, I will leave with them. If Ye Liuyun isn’t there by then, you better prepare for your death!"
Li Yuanyang knew there was no turning back from a decision like that, and even felt like crying.
He had just earned back his investment, only to find out this golden boy, Ye Liuyun, was about to be taken from him!
He guessed that Ye Liuyun deliberately stirred things up by participating in the competition.
But there was no point blaming Ye Liuyun now, he could only beg him to refine some more elixirs before he left so that Li Yuanyang can earn back the money he would pay for the medicinal ingredients.
And so, Li Yuanyang went to Ye Liuyun, face full of snot and tears.
Ye Liuyun agreed to try his best to refine a thousand elixirs before he left so that Li Yuanyang could still make some money.
Only then did Li Yuanyang leave, thanking him profusely.
After sending Li Yuanyang away, Ye Liuyun started to break through his current boundary with all his might.
That night, he broke through to the early stage of the second level, with Lei Ming and Manshu also breaking through to the early stage of the second level shortly afterward.
The boundaries of the others, including the Black Panther, increased successfully to the later stage of the first level.
They had previously suppressed their boundaries before the competition, so their breakthroughs now were all very smooth.
After stabilizing his realm, Ye Liuyun began to help Li Yuanyang refine elixirs and practice his flame power in his spare time.
He was still thinking about the Alora Crystals in the Mystique Mart.
He already had the frost one, so there was no rush to buy it. As for the other two types of crystals, he didn’t feel the need to purchase them either.
However, he had his eyes on the two Power of Space and two Power of Fire Alora Crystals.
But with his current shortage of divine crystals, he worried that people would recognize them as the resources he had stolen from the Ice Palace and the Black Tiger Gang if he tried trading with weapons or elixirs.
Moreover, buying directly with divine crystals might arouse suspicion as well.
Therefore, he was contemplating whether to purchase now or wait till later.
He assumed that the business association would have more options and lower prices once he reached the Prince Liang Royal Palace.
What Ye Liuyun didn’t know was that Bai Muyu had already arrived at the city lord’s mansion and started talking to City Lord Li Yuanyang.
"Bai Gongzi’s visit to my mansion is quite rare! What brings you here?" Li Yuanyang greeted Bai Muyu with a smile.
"Nothing serious. I just need a commoner from you." Bai Muyu casually replied.
"May I know who Mr. Bai is asking for?" Li Yuanyang had no idea who Bai Muyu wanted.
Since he usually doesn’t interact with the Bai family often, the sudden visit gave him cause for caution.
"Ye Liuyun! Dead or alive, either will do!" Bai Muyu said straightforwardly.
