Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132 Participating In The Preliminary
After daybreak, Ye Liuyun allowed Lei Ming and his avatar to continue cultivating. He rushed to the imperial palace to find the Fourth Prince, Xia Tianyuan.
Today, the imperial palace was even more heavily guarded.
As Ye Liuyun followed the guards inside, he felt a lot of Divine Sense being used on him, which was much more than before.
"It seems that many young, expert are coming today, and the palace’s defense is stronger!"
Xia Tianyuan was holding a big banquet to entertain these people.
They were all under thirty years old, and almost all were at the ninth level of Fate Realm.
These people were sons of great families and prodigies of the Sacred Terra Sect.
The reason why they were called prodigies was that these people were all geniuses among geniuses, far more potent than the other genius disciples in their sect.
Thus, when those were chosen to gather at the imperial palace of Emperor Xia, they represented the highest level of power amongst the younger generation of the Central Continent.
They were all proud and arrogant people and didn’t talk much to each other.
Many people suppressed their cultivation realms and did not break through to the Sacred Terra. They were waiting for this opportunity to enter the secret realm of the royal family.
When each of them arrived, the reception staff would call out all the sects and names for everyone to know.
Ye Liuyun was no exception. As soon as he arrived, the reception staff shouted, "Here comes... Prince Yonglie, Emperor’s Royal Stallion, the master of the Devil Lord Sect, Ye Liuyun..."
"..."
Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard someone call out his name like that. He wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
There’s nothing wrong with the way he called out his name, but it was too exaggerated. He had never regarded himself as the Sect Master or the Prince.
Upon hearing such an influential identity, the people inside turned their gaze towards the entrance. They thought it was some significant figure coming to visit the Fourth Prince.
These talents spent most of their time cultivating and seldom cared about the situation outside.
Only those who lived in the Imperial City knew Ye Liuyun’s strength and deeds. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Many of them learned about the conflict between Ye Liuyun and the Cern family through their family connections.
"Did the Fourth Prince invite him here?"
"That’s right! The Fourth Prince seems to be very familiar with Ye Liuyun during the last martial arts contest!"
They immediately muttered in a low voice when they heard Ye Liuyun’s name. Some people stood up and wanted to say hello to Ye Liuyun, trying to curry favor with him.
The fourth prince, Xia Tianyuan, also came to greet him directly.
Ye Liuyun’s reputation was definitely enough for him to welcome him.
"Did you arrange this? It’s too exaggerated!"
When Ye Liuyun saw that everyone in the main hall was looking at him, he felt slightly embarrassed. The moment he saw Xia Tianyuan, he began to complain to him.
"Haha, this is my negligence! I just asked the servants to tell me the names of every guest. I didn’t check them before, but I didn’t expect them to reveal your background! But it is quite domineering and powerful, right?"
Xia Tianyuan had been busy looking for people these days. He couldn’t manage all these details.
He also knew that Ye Liuyun did not like such exaggerated introductions, so he joked with Ye Liuyun as he apologized.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t do anything about it. He couldn’t take back what was already shouted.
He had no choice but to walk side by side with the Fourth Prince and greet some disciples of the Imperial City who knew him.
There was an empty seat beside Xia Tianyuan, which was reserved for Ye Liuyun.
This position signifies Ye Liuyun’s importance to Xia Tianyuan.
The prodigies who didn’t know Ye Liuyun were also guessing.
"Such a young prince, and a Emperor’s Royal Stallion?"
"The leader of the Devil Lord Sect seems to be young, and his realm is not high!"
"Why does the leader of the Devil Lord Sect have this kind of realm? Is there a mistake?"
These people all looked at Ye Liuyun with suspicious eyes.
They never imagined that Ye Liuyun would join them in the preliminaries.
It was not until Xia Tianyuan announced that all the participants had arrived that someone realized that Ye Liuyun would also participate in the preliminary, just like them.
A young man sitting next to Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.
"Fourth Prince, this..."
Suddenly, he didn’t know how to address Ye Liuyun, so he could only vaguely address him.
"... Are you also here to participate in the preliminary?"
"Yes! Like you, he also wants to help me!" The Fourth Prince admitted.
Ye Liuyun also knew that his realm might be looked down upon again.
His Divine Sense swept across the expressions of these people, and he immediately understood.
Those who didn’t know him all had looks of disdain and contempt on their faces.
Those who knew him were all secretly laughing at this moment. If someone didn’t open their eyes and provoke Ye Liuyun, they would have quite a spectacle to watch.
Ye Liuyun’s current strength had risen by two levels since the previous contest. By then, he was able to kill a martial practitioner at the ninth level of the Fate Realm, so it should be much easier for him now.
Moreover, behind Ye Liuyun were hundreds of thousands of troops, devil cultivators, and the three most powerful forces on the central continent.
If anyone provoked him, they would be as miserable as the princes he killed!
At this moment, they all had one thought in their head. "This Ye Liuyun is simply hiding his strength! The people who died in his hands are truly wronged!"
However, most of the prodigies in the hall did not know about Ye Liuyun’s past.
Immediately, someone began to mock Ye Liuyun.
"How could someone who lacks ability dare to join in a major affair like competing for the right of succession among princes?"
"That’s right. Can you stand with us by relying on your background to deceive the princess?"
Some didn’t even bother to look at Ye Liuyun and turned their heads directly.
When the fourth prince, Xia Tianyuan, saw this, he secretly felt that something was about to go wrong. He was afraid that Ye Liuyun would fly into a rage on the spot and kill these people!
He knew very well how Ye Liuyun managed to get revenge on the Cern family.
So he immediately stopped those people. "Everyone, don’t judge someone’s strength according to your realm. Since I brought these people here, there must be a purpose of mine. As for whether you are qualified or not, let’s see it in the field later!"
Hearing what he said, many prodigies became quiet for the time being. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Even if they looked down on Ye Liuyun, they still respected the fourth prince. After all, the final choice was up to the fourth prince.
If they offended the Fourth Prince, they could not enter the secret realm, no matter how powerful they were.
Some were skeptical and felt that there might be something special about Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun started to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.
His realm was low, and he had been looked down more than once.
After a long time, he had gotten used to it and was too lazy to explain it to others.
