Chapter 1829: Chapter 1829 Promotion
"Sure, let’s settle the bill for now!" Ye Liuyun responded with a chuckle.
At Ye Liuyun’s address, Xuan Yuanling blushed and rose to her feet, saying, "Let’s go then. They keep a tab here."
"Aww... How elegant!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed without inquiring about the price and went out after Xuan Yuanling.
Naturally, Xuan Yuanling chose to return with a car. And since Ye Liuyun was heading another way, they parted ways.
While they were on their respective routes, Xuan Yuanling sat smiling in the car, finding Ye Liuyun amusing. While she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly blushed.
"I wonder if he figured out what I’m thinking?"
While Ye Liuyun returned to the prince’s mansion for practice, he released his clone to explore Xuan Yuanyu’s affairs.
He had his clone use Phantom Illusion skills to change into another person to stop Xuan Yuanling from tracking them back to him. He quickly withdrew his clone after confirming that Xuan Yuanyu was, in fact, at the Fragrant Pavilion and knowing his guard’s position. Wearing the concealcape he made his way back to the prince’s mansion.
Ye Liuyun practised till the next afternoon, at which point he returned to the previous tavern, to unwind and collect information.
Most of the conversations he heard there centred on He Lianxiu’s martial arts wedding match.
He spent two hours listening to a more or less similar conversation without getting any useful information.
With disappointment, Ye Liuyun went back to the prince’s palace. He slipped out of the mansion after dark, draped in the Concealcape.
He took off his Concealcape and put on his military uniform as he moved forward. Then, as he and his clone raced to the Fragrant Pavilion one after the other, he changed himself and his clone into a new persona.
Now that he had improved his realm, the Phantom Illusion usage period may last up to two hours.
While Xuan Yuanyu was enjoying music and the dance in the main hall, Ye Liuyun and his clone sat on either side of him.
Then, his clone began to make a loud ruckus, drawing Xuan Yuanyu’s attention.
"How dare he spoil my mood? D*mn it! Where did this barbarian come from? Tear his mouth apart and drag him out!" Xuan Yuanyu ordered the guards next to him to take out the clone now, not wanting anybody else to ruin his fun at the dance.
"Who do you think you are, you think being wealthy makes you invincible? You’re nothing but a spendthrift!” The clone retorted and cursed.
"What? How dare you! Kill him!" Xuan Yuanyu ordered his guard to execute him.
"You are the one courting death!" With a chilly snort, the clone launched a Divine Soul assault.
After absorbing a large amount of Divine Soul in the Sinless City, the clone’s Divine Soul had reached a level almost equal to Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul.
Xuan Yuanyu with his early primary four realm stage, couldn’t resist his attack at all.
Xuan Yuanyu’s soul was obliterated right away even before Ye Liuyun made his move.
Two martial practitioners from the intermediate third realm charged at the clone, but the clone killed them with a blow of poison and Devil Qi.
"Ahh!"
The terrified audience in the hall let out an eruption of screams before running in every direction.
The guards of the Fragrant Pavilion charged towards the clone with all their might.
Because Xuan Yuanyu was murdered at their place, they wouldn’t be able to explain to Mystique Mart until they apprehend the perpetrator.
While they dispatched someone to alert Mystique Mart, they continued to surround the clone to apprehend him.
Unfazed by the chaos, the clone grabbed his Leviathan Cane, imbued it with a lethal blend of Devil Qi and poison, and then sent an explosive strike on the Fragrant Pavilion’s guards.
Ye Liuyun saw he was not needed in the battle, so he joined the others in bolting out of the hall to survey the scene outside.
Not long after, the clone dashed out of the hall after simultaneously killing multiple advanced third-level guards.
However, the Fragrant Pavilion was still guarded by two primary fourth-level martial practitioners.
The clone, unafraid, engaged in a fight with both practitioners at once. While the two martial practitioners tried to avoid the clone’s body, which was full of poison and Devil Qi, they could only attack him from a distance.
The clone’s Flame Force unexpectedly blocked the intermediate fourth-level martial practitioner, while the primary-stage fourth-level martial practitioner’s energy was being exhausted. This was the consequence of Ye Liuyun and his clone employing the Elemental Spirit Secret Skill.
The clone found a chance to rush over and defeat the guard with his cane.
This strike was combined with Devil Qi, Advanced Energy, poison and the strength of heaven and earth.
One blow was enough to overpower the martial practitioner to the ground, where he started emitting black smoke and died of poisoning.
Then, while facing the intermediate fourth-level martial practitioner, the clone knew he was too much to take down. Despite this, the clone launched a Divine Soul attack, eliminating the martial practitioner’s Divine Soul.
The clone was now unstoppable since the Fragrant Pavilion’s strongest force had been eliminated.
The clone did not take off right away. He motioned his hand and the Interspatial Ring of Xuan Yuanyu was pulled toward his direction. He tossed his ring aside after emptying its contents into its Spatial World.
Then he casually extracted Xuan Yuanyu’s virtuoso. He needed to prove to Hua Xiangyuan that he had killed Xuan Yuanyu.
The clone then leisurely departed the Fragrant Pavilion, and nobody dared to stand in its way. At this point, Ye Liuyun had managed to escape the Fragrant Pavilion amidst the chaos along with many other practitioners.
Ye Liuyun changed back into his military uniform and liberated Lei Ming and the others. He had them donned military clothing and kept a distance from the clone.
Until the elite from Mystique Mart arrived upon receiving the news and saw the clone from afar, only then did Ye Liuyun use Hyper Hop to retrieve his clone back into his own Spatial World.
The martial practitioners of Mystique Mart stared as Ye Liuyun’s clone vanished in front of their eyes. However, their Divine Sense detected nothing.
Furthermore, they stood at a distance from the clone at the time, so they couldn’t sense any fluctuation in the surrounding air.
Suddenly, one of the martial practitioners remembered how the Eight Iron Masters had been killed previously and reminded the rest of Mystique Mart’s martial practitioners to keep an eye out for people who might be invisible.
In their vicinity, were just Ye Liuyun and a few others dressed as soldiers, who they would naturally ignore.
In this way, Ye Liuyun and his company returned to the mansion easily and leisurely.
The mansion’s guards were unconcerned about a few common soldiers. Once they saw their badges, they let them in without question.
During this moment, the martial practitioners of Mystique Mart went all out, searching the city for an invisible figure. They even delivered the bogus identity portrait of Ye Liuyun’s clone to soldiers stationed at each city gate.
When Ye Liuyun returned home, he entered the Xuankong Stone with the others to cultivate. Nobody was aware of their excursion or that they had even gone out.
A quiet laughing could be heard in the vast hall of Prince Liang’s house, surrounded by a swirl of Devil Qi.
"Invisibility Cloak, Disguise Technique, the immense Divine Soul power!" It appeared that Price Liang was murmuring.
Subsequently, Prince Liang’s voice travelled outside the mansion.
"Promote Ye Liuyun to deputy leader of praetorian, he is allowed to recruit and lead a team of three thousand people on his own!"
The messenger outside the hall immediately agreed and started looking for Ye Liuyun everywhere.
They had never even heard of Ye Liuyun’s name before.
It was only until they came across Zhang Wencai, that they passed on the order.
When Zhang Wencai received the order, he was pleased for Ye Liuyun. To his surprise, Ye Liuyun has attained success, surpassing his own.
He immediately went to notify Ye Liuyun and even accompanied him to the praetorian department to report himself.
"Eh?" Ye Liuyun was surprised, "I haven’t even done anything yet!"
"I have no clue with it too! Perhaps Xiao Yunfang spoke for you!"
Zhang Wencai knew Prince Liang was the one who intended to promote him. However, since the Prince of Liang didn’t proclaim it, he shouldn’t be the one who leaked it out. So, he had no choice but to attribute it to Xiao Yunfang.
