Chapter 1766: Chapter 1766 No Rules
Before they arrived at the Regal Beast Mountain, all of their Alora Crystals had been consumed.
Ye Liuyun then absorbed the power of flame, ice, and Devil Crystal to continue cultivating. In his spare time, he crafted all the second-class elixirs, which were available for everyone to use at will.
The third-class elixirs were also nearly depleted. If they didn’t replenish their stocks in a city soon, they would run out entirely.
The pace at which Ye Liuyun and others consumed resources even astounded Lan Xin.
"Too fast! How long have we been, and we’ve used up all of it!"
"Yeah! Once reaching God Realm, no matter how much resources we have, it still feels not enough!"
Ye Liuyun knew it was because they were squandering them. In actuality, the Alora Crystals would be more effective if used intermittently.
But everyone was in a hurry to boost their strength, so being a little wasteful was understandable.
After all, the resources came easily to them, so it was naturally not their style to be thrifty when it comes to usage.
Fortunately, the flying vessel arrived at the Beast Mountain City nearby the Regal Beast Mountain rapidly.
All the martial practitioners left the aircraft and under the supervision of their supervisors, they went to the Trade Association to replenish their resources.
Beast Mountain City, appearing smaller than Tundraland, seemed like a temporarily constructed base, established for the purpose of conveniently supplying and arming the martial practitioner prior to entering the Regal Beast Mountain.
Apart from the City Lord’s Mansion in the city, there were only two major forces and a Mystique Mart.
Pei Yong reminded Ye Liuyun, "The City Lord’s Mansion here is in charge. If you take action here, it would be a challenge to the City Lord’s Mansion.
If you destroy it, we won’t be able to explain ourselves when we go back."
"I get it. I won’t take any action within the city." Ye Liuyun immediately declared.
Pei Yong only then breathed a sigh of relief.
The goods available here at the Mystique Mart weren’t diverse, and the prices were even double than those at Jinmen Pass.
"I can be really foolish at times. If only I had bought more before leaving Golden Gate!" Ye Liuyun regretted not having purchased more resources before.
With a gold card from Mystique Mart that entitled him to half price, buying goods in Golden Gate would have been much cheaper.
After looking around, Ye Liuyun didn’t feel like spending money. However, they still had at least a two-month journey to the royal city. If he didn’t buy anything now, they may not have enough resources for the road ahead.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn’t want to buy anything, Pei Yong guessed he wasn’t interested in what they were selling here.
He quietly said to Ye Liuyun, "There are plenty of resources inside Regal Beast Mountain, and even three mineral veins. However, the place also hosts dangerous fourth level beasts. It’s a place where opportunities and perils coexist."
"Then we won’t be buying anything. We’ll deal with that when we get back!" Ye Liuyun immediately made up his mind.
Following that, all teams congregated in front of the city lord’s mansion.
An inspector of the third level publicly announced, "Our flying vessel will be docked here for repairs for a month. In a month, everyone should regroup here. All forms of martial practitioner combat within the city are prohibited. As for outside the city, there are no such rules. You guys can do as you please."
"This Prince Liang Royal Palace sure has a ruthless way of filtering people!"
Ye Liuyun noticed how, throughout the journey, many martial practitioners kept dying along the way. Now, only a little over a thousand people remained.
Besides Ye Liuyun’s team, only two other teams under Pei Yong’s command remained, all of which consisted of late-stage first level martial practitioners. After enduring the trials and tribulations of the journey, these individuals had drastically improved their combat skills and abilities.
With a single command of "dismissed", many martial practitioners immediately rushed outside the city, all headed for Regal Beast Mountain.
Martial combat were prohibited within the city; thus, they could not possibly gain anything while in the city.
When Ye Liuyun saw the massive crowd rushing out of the city, he himself did not hurry to join the fray.
The other two teams under Pei Yong swiftly followed the horde out of the city, fearful that if they arrived late at Regal Beast Mountain, they wouldn’t find any resources.
Like all inspectors, Pei Yong remained silent, merely observing their movements.
Only when almost everyone had left did Ye Liuyun lead his team, including Lei Ming, out of the city.
As soon as he moved, several squads also began to mobilize, following behind them.
There were many women in Ye Liuyun’s team, and some martial practitioners had set their sights on them. Noticing the movement of these squads, Ye Liuyun smirked, leisurely strolling out of the city.
Pei Yong also grinned, thinking to himself: They’re asking for death!
He was referring to the squads eyeing the women in Ye Liuyun’s team.
In this city, the highest level anyone could reach was only at the beginning of the second level, so as long as they restrained from attacking, they were essentially delivering heads to Ye Liuyun’s team.
It was not long before Ye Liuyun and his team noticed with their Divine Senses, the martial practitioners who had just left the city had already begun to fight. There was no need to wait until they reached Regal Beast Mountain.
Ye Liuyun immediately sped up, leading everyone to the city gate.
He wasn’t intending to join the turbulent battleground, but to take advantage of the situation and use Hyper Hop to reap the benefits.
Lei Ming and the others also began taking advantage of the situation, absorbing the Divine Soul of weaker martial practitioners. This was indeed an excellent opportunity for them to profit.
Seeing them run, the squads who were trailing them also began to sprint. But, seeing Ye and his team stop near the city gate, they had no option but to watch from a distance.
Outside the city, hundreds of warriors were caught in a chaotic battle. When they killed someone, they would store the body in their own Spatial Worlds, so no one noticed when Ye Liuyun snuck some of the spoils of battle.
Neither did anyone notice their Divine Soul attacks.
In such a chaotic battlefield, where genuine energy and Divine Soul were flying haphazardly, no one could really pay attention.
There were very few warriors who cultivated Divine Soul power by devouring the Divine Souls of others.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t, it’s just that those with weak Divine Souls didn’t dare to do so. Divine Souls were too dangerous, and if things went wrong, they could be killed in return.
But for the likes of Manshu and others, absorbing the Divine Souls of these middle to late stage martial practitioners was just right.
Ye Liuyun even directly attacked the Divine Souls of a few early stage second level martial practitioners.
The battle didn’t last long, and the warriors gradually dispersed, retreating in different directions.
There was no longer a chance for Ye Liuyun and the others to take action.
They could only wait until they had moved far enough away before leaving the city to rush towards Regal Beast Mountain.
Not too far along their way, Ye Liuyun and his companions were surrounded by five or six teams. These teams had previously made a pact to attack them for their beauty.
"Haha, I have been drooling for you women the whole way!" A early stage second level martial practitioners stood out and laughed boisterously.
"Indeed! We have been holding it in all this way, and haven’t touched a woman in a long time. Since there are no rules, don’t blame us if we..."
Before the other martial practitioner could finish his words, his Divine Soul was directly attacked by a thunderous blow.
Ye Liuyun simultaneously drew his blade, slicing the boisterous martial practitioner cleanly into two halves.
Subsequently, he released his clone to join the battle as well.
His sword intention was now stronger than before. The sword intention seeded in his Ocean of Consciousness had completely transformed into a blade with a pale green color, faintly shimmering with white light.
As Ye Liuyun continued his cultivation, the green hue of the sword intention would gradually fade away.
In less than a quarter of an hour, these thirty-plus people were thoroughly defeated by Ye Liuyun and his peers.
Ye Liuyun collected the corpses and handed them over to Lan Xin, who resides in the Spatial World, for processing.
Lan Xin had always been helping Ye Liuyun manage the spoils of war, categorizing resources, saving the virtuoso for the Dragon Lady and Black Panther, and the corpses were all left to the Black Panther.
