Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2650: Chapter 2651: Acting as a Referee?

Referee?

Ye Luo and Ling’er were both a bit dumbfounded; the Demon Race really did have some quirky ways of doing things.

"You two listen up. In a bit, whichever side has energy appear in this Formation will be judged the loser. If there’s any mistake, you’ll be losing your heads!" one of the Demon Race experts said.

Ye Luo nodded slightly. In this situation, it was obviously not something they could refuse.

It was just that, for something this simple, why would they even need a referee? Who wouldn’t be able to see it?

What did surprise Ye Luo, though, was that Great Crown Prince of the Eastern Demon God Temple. That identity held an extremely exalted status in the Demon Race. If he could curry some favor, he might be able to fish out information about the Demon Queen’s whereabouts.

Another point was, although everyone was mocking this Great Crown Prince, Ye Luo could tell that while his cultivation was a bit inferior, his scheming and depth of mind absolutely crushed the other young men.

Ye Luo naturally liked dealing with smart people.

Soon after, the Crown Princes began their game. The moment they made a move, Ye Luo realized this was nothing like as simple as he had imagined!

Within the Formation, the Crown Princes’ Mana kept clashing. Of course, this wasn’t a "whoever has stronger Mana wins" sort of thing. Inside was like a maze; luck and wit both played a role!

That said, if your Mana was stronger, you naturally held a certain advantage.

Not long after, the Great Crown Prince’s face turned ugly, because on his side, a surge of energy abruptly burst out. That meant he’d been eliminated!

"Referees, aren’t you going to announce the result?" The few young men immediately stopped, their gazes unfriendly as they looked at Ye Luo and Ling’er.

"The result of this bout is naturally that the Great Crown Prince is slightly inferior." Ye Luo announced on the spot.

After all, this was something everyone could see. The reason they’d dragged the two of them in as referees was nothing more than that the others didn’t want to offend anyone!

Maybe these Crown Princes weren’t afraid of the Great Crown Prince, but their subordinates were. If the Great Crown Prince wanted them dead, it would only take a single word. Even their masters might not be able to stop it. After all, the Eastern Demon God Temple was the strongest among the major Demon God Halls.

At these words, the Great Crown Prince shot Ye Luo a vicious look, a flash of killing intent flickering through his eyes.

"Haha, Great Crown Prince, thanks for letting us win this round. We agreed on best three out of five. When the time comes, don’t you go back on your word!" one Crown Prince laughed.

The Great Crown Prince snorted coldly. "I never go back on my word."

Then, the contest began again!

Ye Luo’s heart stirred as the power of his Clairvoyant Eye quietly activated. Of course, the Clairvoyant Eye’s power also had gradations. He only wanted to see the subtleties inside this Formation, so there was no need to burn too much Origin Source. If he used it like he had underground, the moment he opened the Clairvoyant Eye his body would instantly shatter, and his Divine Sense would suffer heavy damage!

Even now, he couldn’t keep it open too long. Very quickly, he discovered the Formation’s hidden workings.

The key point of this Formation was that from the outside you couldn’t see what was happening inside. It really was a maze within. If you made even one mistake, your Mana would immediately be forced out. Another point was that if the streams of Mana met, the party with weaker Mana would also be forced out!

The rules were that simple! In reality, the Great Crown Prince hadn’t made any mistakes in the maze at all, which showed his extraordinary intellect! It was just that the other Crown Princes’ Mana was basically lying in ambush!

So the other Crown Princes had set up a trap for the Great Crown Prince! They’d actually joined forces to screw him over!

Moreover, it seemed the Great Crown Prince wasn’t very familiar with this Formation, whereas the others knew it like the back of their hands. The paths his Mana had to take had been calculated by them with great precision!

Once his Mana appeared, it would immediately be besieged by several streams of Mana. That was what led to the Great Crown Prince’s defeat!

Of course, the maze within the Formation definitely didn’t only have a single path. It was just that the other paths were too well hidden. Even Ye Luo couldn’t see the subtleties inside without using the Clairvoyant Eye.

After all, this Formation completely blocked Divine Sense and Mana probes. Even a strong expert of the Martial King Realm couldn’t see what was going on inside.

Very soon, the Great Crown Prince’s Mana was forced out again.

"Great Crown Prince, another loss." Ye Luo could only announce.

As soon as he finished, the Great Crown Prince’s subordinates subtly formed a ring around Ye Luo, making it clear that once the contest ended, they were definitely going to make a move on him.

The Great Crown Prince gave Ye Luo another cold look, his expression already rather ugly.

"Haha, Great Crown Prince, if you lose one more round, your Qiankun Ring will belong to us!" a Crown Prince laughed.

"Hmph, it’s just a Qiankun Ring. I can afford to lose that much!"

Though the Great Crown Prince said that, his face was extremely unsightly. After all, a Qiankun Ring was where a Cultivator’s resources accumulated, naturally incomparably precious—especially for someone of the Great Crown Prince’s status.

"Great Crown Prince, they’re ganging up to set you up!"

Then Ye Luo’s Divine Sense was transmitted over. At those words, the Great Crown Prince clearly froze for a moment and shot Ye Luo a surprised glance, but quickly returned to normal.

"Hmph, you’ve got some eye for things. But if I lose this round, you definitely won’t escape with your life!" the Great Crown Prince replied via Divine Sense.

"I do have a way to help Your Highness win this round; I just don’t know if it can buy the two of us our lives." Ye Luo sent his Divine Sense again.

This time the Great Crown Prince was truly a bit taken aback, but he didn’t look at Ye Luo again. Clearly, he was a man of some wisdom. After all, Ye Luo was in the role of referee—he couldn’t be seen having too much contact with him.

"If it’s really as you say, that’s naturally possible. And if you can help me win the rounds after this as well, I’ll be sure to reward the two of you handsomely!"

Hearing this, Ye Luo felt even more appreciation for the Great Crown Prince. If it were one of the other Crown Princes, they wouldn’t even spare him a glance. A minor Demon Race member, just at the Earth Martial Realm—what abilities could he possibly have? Yet this Great Crown Prince actually chose to believe Ye Luo. Of course, there was also a bit of the "dead horse as a live doctor" mentality!

Still, one way or another, working with someone like this would ultimately save a lot of trouble.

Soon after, their contest started once more!

This time, as soon as the Great Crown Prince’s Mana entered the Formation, he didn’t move rashly, but instead followed Ye Luo’s guidance!

Seeing this, the other Crown Princes’ Mana immediately surged over to besiege him. They thought the Great Crown Prince had hesitated and didn’t dare act rashly. If his Mana was surrounded by theirs, the Great Crown Prince would be instantly eliminated!
