The Lei King's mansion, assassins hanging corpses!
Such a scene.
It could be said to have stunned all the assassination forces. Was this a joke?
No matter how they thought about it, they never expected that the spies they painstakingly placed in the Lei King's mansion would be exposed and displayed in such a manner.
Provocation!
Naked provocation!!
In an instant, everyone's hatred for Ye Xuan soared exponentially, and soon...
Wave after wave of ferocious experts attacked, angered by Ye Xuan's actions.
A mere first-order Venerable, did he really think he was someone important!
Clearly, this was the unanimous thought of all forces, but they had no idea what kind of existence their target was.
Five people!
Ten people! A hundred people!!
Soon, wave after wave of powerful individuals died at Ye Xuan's hands. Among them, the weakest were peak ninth-order Great Emperors, with no less than twenty at the Venerable realm. Three of them were even second-order Venerables, and there was even a sole third-order Venerable.
However, without exception, all were annihilated by Ye Xuan!
Not a single survivor!!
Besides this, after Ye Xuan heavily injured the attackers, he had Mo Xuanyou and the other two engage in a life-or-death battle with them, tempering their minds.
This devilish practical combat training put immense pressure on the three, but the effect was surprisingly good!
Among them, Dongfang Qingkong, who had the highest cultivation, had already reached the extreme of peak sixth-order Great Emperor, only one step away from seventh-order Great Emperor. Mo Xuanyou had also unprecedentedly reached the sixth-order Great Emperor, while Bing Xiaoxue, to everyone's surprise, had reached peak fourth-order Great Emperor, her cultivation level rapidly approaching that of Mo Xuanyou and the other two.
The revenge for her clan's annihilation seemed to have driven Bing Xiaoxue into a frenzy!
Coupled with the activation of the ancient Ice Scar bloodline and the incredibly terrifying ice, her combat power was enough to contend with a sixth-order Great Emperor. Even Mo Xuanyou and the other two were certain that if their junior sister were at the same cultivation level as them, they would be utterly outmatched.
Because of this, the two also pushed themselves to their limits, breaking through the boundaries of their cultivation!
Ye Xuan's astonishing record truly shocked Changsun Ruotian and Long Bayu, who were lurking in the shadows.
And...
The corpses in front of the Lei King's mansion grew more numerous. However, the highest among them were only second-order Venerables, and their numbers already exceeded a thousand!
A thousand bodies exposed to the elements, such a brutal and inhumane scene was utterly insane and infuriating!
Had the new master of the Lei King's mansion gone mad? Utterly mad, did he not realize how many people he would offend with such actions? Those who could be sent to assassinate were elites from various major powers, and their backgrounds were at least at the Venerable level, or even higher.
That Ye Xuan had absolutely courted disaster!
Not just everyone, even the Dragon Yang Emperor, Long Baye, was stunned by Ye Xuan's actions, "That brat... it seems he is going to accelerate the final battle of the Dragon Yang Empire."
"However, this is also good."
Long Baye had been planning for centuries. Although this scene was somewhat beyond his expectations, it was still within his overall control.
...
As time passed, it quietly arrived two days later.
In these two days, Ye Xuan was also given the nickname 'Living Yama' by the people of Dragon Yang Imperial City, as the more than a thousand corpses in front of the Lei King's mansion were bloody evidence.
As for Ye Xuan's strength, no one knew, only that he was a first-order Venerable, but his combat power was astonishingly heaven-defying.
Until this morning.
The golden morning sun pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the Lei King's mansion. At this moment, the more than a thousand corpses in front of the mansion were still enduring the harsh sun. Those in the shadows from various forces wished they could grind Ye Xuan into dust.
Following this, Ye Xuan, along with his third clone, Long Xuan, went to the Dragon Yang Imperial City's martial arts arena.
Because today was the Centennial Guest Elder Competition.
The only condition for this Guest Elder Competition was that the participants must not be over three hundred years old and the weakest must not be below peak ninth-order Great Emperor.
Based on this condition alone, it had to be said that the Guest Elder Competition was quite demanding.
The Guest Elder Selection Competition was divided into two rounds. The first round was to select a Dragon Yang Guest Elder, and then survive ten moves from them. The second round was a ranking match, and to become a Guest Elder in each competition, one had to enter the top fifty in the final rankings.
In addition, they had to withstand the investigation of the Dragon Yang Empire. Those who committed evil deeds would definitely not be taken in as Dragon Yang Guest Elders.
After all, the Guest Elders taken in by the Dragon Yang Empire were meant to guard the Dragon Yang Empire, not to be parasites!
As for the first round, selecting a Dragon Yang Guest Elder.
This was a major favorite this year. The reason for this was that this year, they learned that the Dragon Yang Empire had exceptionally promoted a new Guest Elder, and he was the successor of the Heavenly Thunder King from a hundred thousand years ago.
This undoubtedly gave countless people hope of becoming a Dragon Yang Empire Guest Elder!
It was known that even second-order Venerables could not guarantee their entry into the second round with 100% certainty in each competition. Clearly, people were looking for the easier targets, and this was vividly displayed at this moment.
And as it happened, the challenge in the first round was very casual. Any challenger had the right to choose their opponent, and as long as they could withstand ten moves, they would pass the first round.
"Guest Elder Ye Xuan!"
"I choose Guest Elder Ye Xuan!!"
"Me too~~"
In an instant, as expected, Ye Xuan became the major favorite for this Dragon Yang Imperial Empire's Guest Elder selection. Even Changsun Wugou, who was in charge, was stunned.
Because, up to this point, the challengers who wanted to face Ye Xuan had already filled up a thousand people, and this was the maximum number of challenges allowed for a Guest Elder.
"Guest Elder Ye Xuan, please come out to battle."
Regarding Ye Xuan, Changsun Wugou was very satisfied, not just him, but the entire Changsun family was the same.
At a certain moment, Ye Xuan flashed and appeared in the martial arts arena.
He glanced at the uproar in the arena. He hadn't forgotten the system's mission. Since he wanted to make a name for himself, it would start from now.
"Marquis Pingchuan, I have a suggestion."
"Oh."
Looking at Ye Xuan in the martial arts arena, Changsun Wugou smiled slightly. Ye Xuan's words drew everyone's attention.
"Guest Elder Ye, please speak."
Changsun Wugou said with a smile, and Ye Xuan heard this and looked at the area with over a thousand people.
"I think this way of challenging is too slow. How about this."
Pausing his voice, Ye Xuan continued, "How many people here want to challenge me, just remove the upper limit, and I will accept all challenges."
Woosh~!!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena erupted. Damn, was that kid tired of dying or something!
Changsun Wugou looked towards Emperor Long Baye, who was seated at the head seat. After receiving his nod, he then said to Ye Xuan, "Since Guest Elder Ye has such boldness, then for this selection competition, we will make a special exception for Guest Elder Ye!"
"Thank you, Marquis Pingchuan!"
"Besides that, I want to challenge all the challengers together. Is that possible?"
Changsun Wugou, "!!!!"
"Challenge them all together, Guest Elder Ye, are you... sure!!"
As soon as Ye Xuan said this, the entire arena fell silent. Tong Wuya was completely dumbfounded, staring at the martial arts arena in bewilderment, "What's going on? Even if Ye Xiaoyou's strength is heaven-defying, there's no need for this."
