The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 726 - 717: Unexpected Results.

"Lady Ziyue, you’ve clashed with her before?" Zhang Zhiyun was startled, "When did this happen?"

"About, seventy years ago," Lady Ziyue said softly.

"At that time, the transcendent beings couldn’t move at will, right?" Zhang Zhiyun squinted.

When the spiritual energy of the world was weak, any extraordinary creature couldn’t afford to move carelessly, as excessive consumption would mean that just relying on the energy intensity of the world at that time wouldn’t even allow them to maintain basic bodily functions—breathing smoothly would be a struggle. Most of the extraordinary beings that remained in this world were sealed in certain places where spiritual power could be preserved.

And such places, generally well-protected, were almost impossible to penetrate by anyone without extraordinary power.

Unless...

"Was it Lord Duke of Song?" Zhang Zhiyun’s mind was sharp, and almost immediately, he thought of someone.

Lady Ziyue smiled. The time when she wandered the world with that kid Liu Yu and the then cute and small Ali was one of the happier periods in the countless years she had spent fleeing for her life.

Back then, Liu Yu had just learned Flying Star and was extremely curious about this world. She herself had an ulterior motive, needing him to help her evade pursuers. To satisfy his curiosity and to resolve her own doubts, they had explored many places where ancient beings were sealed.

The reason why they said Xiao Xiang was a troublemaker was important. In the first stage, when no one could enter the places sealed by transcendent beings, Xiao Xiang was able to.

And the transcendent beings, facing their various actions inside, mostly did not dare to make a move.

The reason was simple: the more strictly sealed the place, the more complex the energy pathways, and the slightest inattention could destroy it, resulting in their inability to even hibernate, only to wait for death in this world drained of spiritual energy!

Therefore, extraordinary creatures with significant origins would largely withdraw from this world when the Earth Spirit declined.

Only a few forces that couldn’t leave opted for being sealed as preservation.

Although it seemed very provocative to trespass in others’ lairs, during that time, the three of them infiltrated the territories of countless extraordinary beings. The latter could only swallow their anger. As long as their actions weren’t too excessive, even if some resources were taken, the beings had to reluctantly accept it.

Only once, they encountered a freak.

As soon as they entered the individual’s sealed domain, she looked ready to attack, and the sealing environment was extremely crude—liable to break with the slightest touch.

But even so, she was determined to kill. Lady Ziyue had encountered many enemies but had never met such a pure and resolute killing intent before.

She made a snap decision then, asking Liu Yu to leave immediately to avoid confrontation.

Even though she had already signaled their intention to leave, the other party still attacked.

They clashed for just one move!

It was the closest Lady Ziyue had come to death in ten thousand years of evasion!

"Oh?" Suddenly, Murong Ziyi spoke up, "The outcome was decided quite quickly."

The others looked over, finding the scene on the screen surprising, but upon reflection, it seemed somehow to be expected.

In the scene, Chen Ye knelt on the ground, trembling, his complexion so pale it was devoid of any color. Cold sweat continuously dripped down, forming steam in the surrounding high-temperature environment.

Clearly, Chen Ye couldn’t withstand the other’s momentum and almost immediately adopted the posture of an absolute weakling, signaling that he had no intention of attacking.

The commoners outside the palace gate let out a series of jeers, while the Magician Family of Zhenghe Hall watched with complicated expressions on their faces, especially Chen Baifeng, who almost heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

He feared that his child would fight out of pride and face death. In his eyes, the life of his family’s top prodigy was innumerable times more important than dignity!

It’s fine to lose face in defeat, as long as one is alive, there will always be opportunities, but in death... there is nothing left.

Inside the barrier, Bai Feng saw Chen Ye kneeling on the ground without the courage to even glance at her. She withdrew her aura and performed a bow with her hands clasped together, a gesture learned from the Human Race, "Thank you for yielding."

"Thank you for yielding?" Chen Ye, still kneeling, closed his eyes, no longer feeling the pressure of death, but now he only felt endless humiliation.

"How am I worthy of those words?"

This remark caused Chen Baifeng, who was watching the battle, to frown. This was a blow to his son’s spiritual path. It would take a great effort to recover his composure afterward, or else he might never achieve much in his life.

Hearing this, Bai Feng, who had been ready to leave, looked at the space gate that had already opened, then turned back and said, "How can you not be worthy?"

Chen Ye was startled; he hadn’t expected this overwhelming victor to actually respond to his self-pitying words. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"You are still very young." There was no smile on Bai Feng’s face, only seriousness, "Whether by the standards of the Human Race or the Dragon Clan, you are young. Isn’t it normal for someone as young as you to not beat me? Why do you look so desperate? You are clearly still alive..."

Chen Ye was taken aback. The opponent’s eyes remained ethereal, her demeanor cool, not showing the kind someone who would offer words of comfort.

As such, when she spoke, it gave him the feeling that she was being very sincere.

"Yes... I... am still alive." A moment later, Chen Ye’s dull eyes cleared, and he gave Bai Feng a deep bow, "Thank you, lady, for sparing my life!"

At these words, Bai Feng smiled, having received his profound gesture of gratitude. In her view, the grace of sparing a life indeed constituted a great favor.

Onlookers observed Chen Ye, now with a restored vitality, with complex expressions. It was hard to imagine that such persuasion could come from the mouth of a Northern Demon.

This woman... what exactly is she...

"This snake is really interesting!" Inside Qiankun Hall, Zhang Xiaoyun licked her lips, "I find her increasingly appealing. I’m really looking forward to it. If only she could find the Azure Dragon token and come to my place."

Murong Ziyi glanced coldly at her, "You might not have the advantage when the time comes. Who knows who will be the tasty one?"

"Oh, does Sister Ziyi not have faith in me?" Zhang Xiaoyun looked aggrieved.

Murong Ziyi couldn’t bear to look at her any longer, feeling almost nauseated. She decisively turned her attention away to the other fighting images on the crystal. The battle here with Bai Feng had been an unexpected draw; both she and Zhang Zhiyun were actually more concerned with the outcome of another duel.

Indeed, it was the duel between Jiangnan Academy Dean Chen Ying and White Tiger Sorcerer Zhou Yuntao.

When she looked over, both were still testing each other. Two hours had passed, leaving just a quarter hour remaining, and they had yet to engage in direct combat, which was even more hesitant than imagined.

Yet, while looking at the conditions of the other groups, both Murong Ziyi and Zhang Zhiyun were stunned.

Most of the other groups had already determined their victors, but this result... was something neither of them had expected!
