No one dared to step forward anymore!
Even the four prodigies who ranked among the top ten heavenly geniuses—Qin Wenjun, Chu Yaqin, Xiao Ruonan, and Shang Gufeng—were all left speechless. They had originally appeared today merely to witness the downfall of Ye Wushuang, who was so arrogant that he seemed to disregard everyone else. They wanted to see how such a person would meet his end.
However, to their astonishment, from Xiao Jin to Liu Yuyu, Ye Wushuang, who was only at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, displayed a terrifying power. His superlative spiritual techniques erupted with an unending flow of spiritual energy, and his formidable sword intent was awe-inspiring. Despite being at the third level, he defeated an opponent at the eighth level—not just any eighth level, but a formidable one.
From this day forward, everyone would come to realize that killing Ye Wushuang was no longer achievable within the Yuanfu Realm.
With a high swing of his long sword, he struck down, and a head flew to the edge of the barrier, rolling to the ground. Liu Yuyu died with his eyes wide open, unable to accept his fate.
After a long while, the elders finally snapped out of their stupor and hurriedly lifted the seal.
“Is there no one else?” Ye Wushuang looked around the martial arena and spoke again. His gaze swept over the disciples of the five great clans present, each of whom avoided his eyes, too intimidated to meet his gaze.
By this time, Ye Wushuang had truly become a thorn in the side of the five great clans. Yet, all of this had happened in less than half a year. At just sixteen years old, he had shown a potential even more terrifying than that of Ye Wentian, the legendary figure of the Ye Clan in the past.
Ye Wushuang walked away from the Zangcai Valley, leaving behind several corpses on the arena. But soon, the entire Qingyun Academy was in an uproar.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Quan of the Xiao Clan were killed. Shang Shenyan, Chu Budong, and Qin Ming, three geniuses, were also killed. Liu Huan Yu died as well. Most incredibly of all, Liu Yuyu was slain by Ye Wushuang.
This news spread rapidly from Qingyun Academy to all the forces within Qingtian City.
Inside Qingyun Academy, in the Tianyuan, the disciples’ living peak—once one reaches the Yuanfu Realm, they can be promoted to a Tianyuan disciple, or choose to serve in Qingyun Academy as an inner court mentor, or even graduate and be recruited by various forces in the capital or major counties to become a guest minister, and so on…
The disciples who come out of Qingyun Academy are like a brand, favored by any force. When Ye Wushuang reached the Yuanfu Realm and was promoted to a Tianyuan disciple, he was also granted a solitary mountain peak equipped by the Tianyuan.
Within the entire Qingyun Academy, only the Tianyuan disciples enjoyed such treatment. The mountain peak stood a hundred zhang tall, with spiritual fields at its base, where Tianyuan disciples could hire inner or outer court disciples to help cultivate spiritual herbs. Halfway up the mountain were pavilions and courtyards, places where Tianyuan disciples could recruit inner or outer court disciples to live. The summit of the mountain was reserved for the personal residence of the Tianyuan disciples.
Upon reaching the summit, directly ahead was a courtyard. Opening the gate revealed a series of palaces, with a total of nine rooms. In addition to this, on either side of the courtyard facing north and south, there were several other palaces, arranged according to the Tianyuan disciples living on the mountain peak.
The entire summit was enveloped by a second-grade spiritual gathering formation, specifically designed to aid the cultivation of the Tianyuan disciples. For ordinary forces, a second-grade spiritual gathering formation was impossible to construct, but this was Qingyun Academy!
Those who could reach the Yuanfu Realm at such a young age were all exceptionally talented. Among them, many might one day become the upper echelons of Qingyun Academy, or even leave the Qingyun Empire to become a source of pride for the academy!
Ye Wushuang, accompanied by Wang Xueqi, Xiao Yuan, and Qing Chengtian, entered the vast courtyard.
This courtyard could easily serve as a cultivation ground, measuring more than a hundred zhang in length and width.
“From now on, you will cultivate here!” Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “This place has a second-grade spiritual gathering formation, which will be of great help for you to reach the Yuanfu Realm.”
Qing Chengtian looked around, his eyes filled with excitement. “This… The residence of the Tianyuan disciples is truly magnificent. The materials used to build the palaces and courtyards are all extraordinary.”
“But you said we should live here, which is against the rules!” Qing Chengtian was well-versed in the academy’s regulations.
Inner court disciples and outer court disciples were allowed to stay on the mountain peak of the Tianyuan disciples, but they were not permitted to reside on the summit. They could only live at the waist or base of the mountain, where there was no coverage of the spiritual gathering formation.
“Rules…” Ye Wushuang chuckled, “Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. In our journey so far, have we ever seen the people of the five great clans follow the rules?”
Qing Chengtian laughed heartily and said, “Then I won’t be polite.”
“Now Xiao Yuan is already at the seventh level of the Condensation Pulse Realm, and Xueqi is at the sixth level. Only I am at the fifth level.”
Qing Chengtian couldn’t help but say, “It’s bad enough to be left behind by you, but if I’m also far behind them, I’ll be too embarrassed.”
The group exchanged smiles.
Throughout their journey, Xiao Yuan, Wang Xueqi, and Qing Chengtian had become true friends with Ye Wushuang, and Ye Wushuang had never been concerned about anything when it came to treating his friends.
“Wow, wow, wow, it seems you’ve made a big show of power today and are quite pleased with yourself!”
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard…
