Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Xiwen didn't care about anything else during this half a month. He just continued to practice. There were many star beasts in this area. Ye Xiwen was killing them in high spirits. The star power he accumulated was getting more and more vigorous.
At this stage, Ye Xiwen still needed the star power very much. Only after forming the entire solar system and forming a cosmic cycle would he be able to generate the star power automatically. Then, he would be able to get rid of the need for the star power from the outside world.
Ye Xiwen was still perfecting his universe. He wasn't in a hurry because he knew that the universe within his body was his everything. It was the most solid foundation for him to embark on the road of invincibility in the future.
He didn't relax even a little bit. He was very clear about when and what he should do.
Ye Xiwen had been quietly killing the disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall in addition to unceasingly killing star beasts during this half a month.
The disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall were mixed in with the disciples of the True Martial University. They had quietly ambushed and killed many disciples of the True Martial University. However, they didn't know that a pair of eyes was closely watching them.
Ye Xiwen didn't show any mercy to these disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall. He would kill them as soon as he saw them. These disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall wanted to attack all the disciples of the True Martial University. So, Ye Xiwen was naturally one of their targets. Both sides didn't have the slightest leeway. Therefore, Ye Xiwen would crazily hunt them down as soon as he saw them.
Ye Xiwen had killed three experts of legendary ninth stage among the disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall in just half a month. He had also killed two experts of half-step legendary ninth stage … including Fang Chen.
More than thirty other experts had been slaughtered by him.
There were only a hundred experts of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall. However, more than one-third of them had died in Ye Xiwen's hands.
More than half of the disciples had died in the counterattack of the other disciples. The Xuan Yuan Palace Hall's Senior Brother Fan was furious about this. However, he couldn't do anything about it. The True Martial University's disciples couldn't get in touch with the higher-ups because they had sealed the hole. So, they couldn't find any reinforcements.
Ye Xiwen had taken advantage of the time when they had gone out to hunt the disciples of the True Martial University. Ye Xiwen had pounced on their teleportation formation, and had beheaded an expert of legendary ninth stage. He had destroyed their teleportation formation.
This caused them to lose their reinforcements, and both sides basically returned to the same level.
However, they had an advantage. Nobody had noticed the participation of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall's experts … apart from Ye Xiwen.
The united True Martial University's disciples would annihilate them in an instant if they knew about it. They had many experts. However, the True Martial University's disciples still had thousands of experts. They had an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity. Although the quality of their experts was higher than that of the True Martial University's experts, it wasn't high enough to overwhelm thousands of people.
However, many rumors still appeared during this time because many disciples had died in mysterious ways. And, the disciples of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall weren't assassins after all. So, they hadn't dealt with many things properly. Therefore, these rumors started to appear very soon.
Many people said that some disciples were constantly hunting and killing other disciples. This rumor quickly spread out. Finally, everyone was convinced that a Law Enforcement Hall's disciple of half-step legendary eighth stage had been ambushed. He fought fiercely, and although he was seriously injured, he still managed to repel the other party.
Everyone was convinced that someone was deliberately hunting and killing other disciples. Suddenly, everyone began to panic, and the atmosphere began to tense up.
Although such a rumor had come out, not many people believed it. After all, it was impossible for such a big True Martial School to be harmonious. In particular, many people had gone through many bloody battles. Among them, there were many life and death enemies in the same school. So, it was very normal for disciples to fight each other.
Moreover, there were so many Star Beasts. It wasn't strange for them to die in the hands of these Star Beasts. Many people were searching for treasures and there were also cases where these Star Beasts were slaughtered. Moreover, these powerful Star Beasts often appeared in groups. It wasn't strange for many disciples to die in their hands. But now that this matter had occurred, many people were panicking.
Many people had gone crazy because their escape route had been sealed. However, the two major forces of the True Martial University — the Sword Tomb and the Law Enforcement Hall — weren't anxious. So, they didn't have any way to break the seal. Many people had tried to break the seal.
The two major forces seemed to be crazily hunting for treasures. Although this place was extremely dangerous, many people had obtained great benefits by hunting for treasures. So, many people had crazily stayed behind to hunt for treasures.
In addition, the cave entrance had been sealed, and the disciples had been constantly targeted and assassinated. Everyone began to panic. Many people believed that there was indeed such a person, or a group of people, who were secretly assassinating the True Martial University's disciples.
No one thought that it was an outsider. Everyone suspected that it was one of the people who had been assassinating them.
The tense atmosphere began to pervade. An aura of an impending storm began to pervade among the True Martial University's disciples.
Another piece of news caused a sensation among the True Martial University's disciples. The Law Enforcement Hall's disciple who had escaped the assassination attempt had been found dead in a room in the city.
Countless people felt insecure for a while.
This was because the True Martial University's disciples had built a foothold in the underground world in order to have a foothold. Experts had used powerful earth-attribute magical powers to surround it. It could resist the attacks of those star beasts to a great extent.
The news of someone assassinating the True Martial University's disciples had spread. Many of the less courageous and weaker disciples of the True Martial University had hidden in the city. They wanted to wait for the matter to come to an end. In their opinion, the city was very safe. At least, there wasn't any danger.
However, that Law Enforcement Hall's disciple had been beheaded in the city. This had shocked hundreds of True Martial University's disciples in the entire city. Everyone was panic-stricken. They didn't dare to have too much contact with others.
They only interacted with the people they knew.
Everyone in the city was panic-stricken. Ye Xiwen arrived in the city at this time. He had come to track down that Xuan Yuan Palace Hall's disciple.
He had killed that Law Enforcement Hall's disciple of half-step legendary eighth stage in the city without alerting anyone. This person's strength should be at legendary ninth stage. Ye Xiwen intended to kill another expert of legendary ninth stage.
He would slaughter them one by one in this manner.
This was the so-called 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'. Ye Xiwen didn't make a sound. He knocked out the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall's disciples bit by bit. He didn't have any confidence in fighting against Brother Fan.
That was the half-step legendary's great complete realm. It was close to the semi-sage realm. Ye Xiwen couldn't deal with him at present. Therefore, he could only remain low-key.
The Law Enforcement Hall's experts were quite dissatisfied with the death of a Law Enforcement Hall's disciple. Many of them had come to the city to investigate.
They couldn't swallow this anger. They were the elites of the elites. Even Ye Xiwen, who didn't get along with the Law Enforcement Hall, had to admit that the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall belonged to the elites of the elites. Many of them were the most outstanding disciples of the True Martial University. How could they enforce the law if this wasn't the case? How could they suppress these arrogant and unruly elite disciples of the True Martial University? Each and every one of them had an extremely high vision.
"Even the Law Enforcement Hall's disciples can't find any clues?" Ye Xiwen found a seat in a newly built restaurant and sat down. The people around him were the True Martial University's disciples who were discussing this matter.
"Someone who dares to brazenly assassinate people in the city can't be a simple person. It could even be a group. This is very likely because there are news that assassinations have been taking place in several places at the same time!"
"I don't know who would do such a thing. Could it be that they want to make the heavens angry?"
"It could be a certain interest group. They want to monopolize the benefits of this underground world. So, they want to kill everyone!"
"They must be crazy. We have so many people. How could they kill us all?"
"The opposite party has dared to do this. So, they must be very confident. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to do this!"
"Could it be done by the people of the Sword Tomb? After all, among the people here, only the Law Enforcement Hall and the Sword Tomb are the two great forces. When the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was found, he was killed by a Sword Principle expert!"
Ye Xiwen listened. He secretly thought that the experts of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall had done this to muddy the waters. They didn't want the people of the True Martial University to discover their existence.
These people were discussing this matter. The experts of the True Martial University had gathered here. So, it was impossible for them to face them head-on. The more chaotic this place became, the more opportunities they would have to take advantage of.
Ye Xiwen didn't want to expose the power of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall. Firstly, he didn't want to lose his identity as the oriole in the dark. The Xuan Yuan Palace Hall would've suffered heavy losses even if they had been ambushed by Ye Xiwen. They wouldn't have suspected that someone had guessed their identity as long as he didn't mention the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall's matter.
Secondly, he and the Law Enforcement Hall were now considered as mortal enemies. The people of the Law Enforcement Hall had tried every possible means to kill him. They wanted to kill him to establish their prestige. And, he and the people of the Sword Tomb had also been locked in a deadlock because of the jurisdiction of the sword code. In fact, they had almost come to blows. Ye Xiwen felt that a fight between them was like a dog biting a dog. He didn't need to intervene.
His only concern was that Jian Wu Chen, Mu Ling, and the wolf cub were still in the Sword Tomb's team. However, he would find an opportunity to remind them.
A group of people went up to the restaurant at this time.
