It turned out that Bi Jing Wei was ranked ninth on the merit list. Well, he was ranked eighth now. He had set up a trap to ambush and kill Shou Kun. Who could've expected that he would find out about this? So, he had joined hands with the experts of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall to launch a surprise attack in advance. And, he had nearly killed many experts of the True Martial University.
However, someone had attacked at this time. It was Ye Xiwen. He had attacked with thunderous momentum, and had thoroughly defeated Shou Kun. Then, he had seized the opportunity to kill Li Yi Feng.
He had killed two experts ranked in the top 20 of the merit list. Such methods were world-shaking. There were even rumors that Shou Kun had made a breakthrough into the Great Sage realm on the spot. However, he had still been killed by Ye Xiwen.
Of course, nobody believed this rumor. After all, Ye Xiwen was merely an insignificant Sage Great Perfection realm expert. So, he was a nobody in the eyes of many people. He wasn't worth mentioning, and couldn't enter their eyes.
He had defeated an expert of the late stage of half-step Great Sage realm while at the Sage Great Perfection realm. After all, how could the barrier between the sage realm and the Great Sage realm be so easy to cross? It was like a natural moat for many people.
These core disciples who had come to the Devil World Competition were well-known figures. However, they still felt powerless in the face of the barrier of the Great Sage realm.
Moreover, they had never heard of any secret technique that could suddenly make a breakthrough into the Great Sage realm from the sage realm.
Therefore, this rumor had been regarded as a ridiculous rumor. And, it had quickly been submerged in many other rumors.
According to the rumor, Ye Xiwen had used some secret technique, and had unleashed his divine might. He had killed two experts ranked in the top 20 of the merit list. Many people believed that he had used some secret technique. However, it could still be said that he had done amazing things.
Ye Xiwen's ranking on the merit list was still hovering around a few thousand. Ye Xiwen's name had suddenly become a famous young hero in a short time.
However, many voices of doubt had also emerged when Ye Xiwen's reputation had risen.
"He's just a lucky boy. He must've joined hands with Bi Jing Wei. That's why he had picked up such a bargain!" someone said in disbelief.
Many people believed this story. This story was more popular than the story that Ye Xiwen had used a secret technique to kill Shou Kun and Li Yi Feng. In fact, it seemed more reliable.
"What's there to be arrogant about? He must've offended the people of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa. He would've died if he were to face the encirclement and pursuit of these experts. Even if he has some secret technique to stimulate his martial power … he can't use it every time. After all, each of those secret techniques has huge repercussions!"
Shou Kun replied in a somewhat disdainful manner. He knew that Ye Xiwen might be relying on some secret technique. So, he didn't take it seriously. This secret technique was extremely powerful. However, it often had irreversible side effects. The more powerful the secret technique was, the more serious the side effects would be. Ye Xiwen had killed Shou Kun with his Sage Great Perfection realm cultivation base. So, one could well imagine how powerful this secret technique was.
However, the more powerful it was, the more serious the side effects would be. So, it wouldn't be easy for him to survive the encirclement and pursuit of the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.
Moreover, many people had an idea as they heard this. [This secret technique must be extremely powerful since it allowed a nobody of the Sage Great Perfection realm to kill an invincible expert of half-step Great Sage realm like Shou Kun. It has very serious side effects. However, countless people still want to get their hands on it. After all, it might come in handy in the future.]
[Would the side effects be more serious than death?]
One's chances of survival in the Devil World would greatly increase if they had such a secret technique to protect themselves.
These people were looking for Ye Xiwen with all kinds of purposes. They wanted to seize all the secret martial techniques and so on from him.
Moreover, the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa had lost many experts. So, their vitality had been greatly damaged, and they had lost a lot of face. So, they weren't willing to give up. They had vowed to kill Ye Xiwen.
"This Ye Xiwen has committed a perverse act. He has offended the public. My Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa will fight him to the death from now on. The reward for providing information is 10,000,000 'Primary Spirit Dans'. And, the reward for killing Ye Xiwen is 500,000,000 'Primary Spirit Dans'!"
This news set off stormy waves as soon as it came out.
Even a Great Sage expert would be tempted to look for Ye Xiwen for these 'Primary Spirit Dans'. Of course, it wouldn't come from them. It should be a suggestion from the big forces behind them.
500,000,000 'Primary Spirit Dans' was a lot. However, it was nothing for colossi like the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.
Both Li Yi Feng and Shou Kun were top-notch geniuses that they had carefully nurtured. However, they had died at Ye Xiwen's hands. So, how could they leave this matter at that?
Ye Xiwen had been pushed into the heart of the struggle for a while. He had become the focus of everyone's attention no matter what kind of purpose he had.
In particular, the reward that the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa had jointly issued had made countless people restless. Many outstanding people who believed that their martial arts were matchless had gone to look for Ye Xiwen in succession. They wanted to obtain these rewards.
Especially, they would reach the sky in a single bound if they could kill Ye Xiwen. After all, they would have 500,000,000 'Primary Spirit Dans' in their hands. In fact, they could even enter the Great Sage realm by using 'Primary Spirit Dans'.
Many people had such confidence. After all, they were outstanding geniuses.
However, the True Martial University had finally made a move at this time. Bi Jing Wei and a few other leaders of the True Martial University who had entered the Devil World this time had jointly issued a statement. [Whoever dares to help the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall and the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa must be prepared to be hunted down by the True Martial University.]
The True Martial University had protected Ye Xiwen. So, whoever went to look for trouble with him would be provoking the entire True Martial University.
The True Martial University had declined, and couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as it had been in the past. However, this decline was only relative to the past. It was still a colossus in the eyes of the other forces. Therefore, many people who had been restless immediately calmed down after these statements were made.
[That's right. There are indeed a lot of 'Primary Spirit Dans'. However, one must be alive to enjoy them!]
The True Martial University's intervention had made this already chaotic matter even more confusing. It was tantamount to them shedding all pretense of cordiality against the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Villa and the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall had suffered disastrous losses. So, they had become the victims in everyone's eyes. Therefore, many people had thought that it was worthwhile to use an unknown brat like Ye Xiwen to quell the anger of these two forces.
The confrontation between forces depended on the general trend. The gains and losses of one or two individuals couldn't shake the foundation of these forces. Therefore, mutual compromise was the most important thing.
It was said that a fierce quarrel had broken out between the leaders of the True Martial University. It was because of the issue of whether they should protect Ye Xiwen or not.
Some people believed that they would be treating Ye Xiwen fairly as long as they didn't hit him while he was down. After all, Ye Xiwen's life and death were insignificant in the eyes of the entire True Martial University.
However, Bi Jing Wei had stood his ground against the opinions of the masses. And, he had finally made the decision to protect Ye Xiwen.
Several huge conflicts had broken out between the True Martial University, the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, and the Xuan Yuan Palace Hall after the decision had been made to protect Ye Xiwen. Both sides had suffered casualties.
The entire desolate border area of the Devil World had suddenly burst into an uproar.
While everyone was paying attention to this matter, Ye Xiwen, who was supposed to be one of the protagonists, suddenly disappeared. While everyone was arguing endlessly about his matter, he disappeared without a trace as if he had never existed.
Some people said that he was a coward, and had gone into hiding. However, he had never appeared again regardless of what the people outside had said.
An inexhaustible amount of devil energy was surging towards a certain place like a huge funnel in the boundless Devil Beast Mountain Range. It seemed as if a lurking monster was absorbing the devil energy from the sky.
However, many devil beasts didn't dare to approach it. After all, devil beasts weren't humans. They could only hide far away from such a powerful creature.
Ling Fei was pacing back and forth outside a cave in the mountain range. She had an impatient look on her face. She would look inside the cave from time to time, and constantly complain, "I'm bored to death. That damned Ye Xiwen! That smelly Ye Xiwen! He even said that he would take me to the human world! But, he lied to me! "
"Big Brother didn't lie to you. It's just that he has some matters to take care of in the Devil World!" Xiao Ya's crisp voice came from the side. Her delicate little face had a serious look on it.
"Well, well, well. You're always on his side. You're so boring!" Ling Fei pouted her small mouth. She was somewhat unhappy. She was usually very eloquent. However, she would be defeated every time she would see Xiao Ya's expression.
Sometimes, Ling Fei would also feel that she was an unreasonable person. Well, it was only sometimes. However, she couldn't do anything in front of Xiao Ya. After all, Xiao Ya only believed that Ye Xiwen was right.
She couldn't say anything as she looked at Xiao Ya's serious look.
She obviously knew that Ye Xiwen was still in the Devil World Competition. She would go out with Ye Xiwen once the Devil World Competition was over.
Her spirit became a little excited as she thought of this. She was accustomed to the monotonous style of the Devil World. So, she had long wanted to go and see the legendary colorful world of the human world.
She had been following Ye Xiwen for the past few months. And, she had discovered that this journey was much more exciting than any of her previous experiences. That was because they would encounter troublemakers from time to time. Both sides of the battle didn't seem very powerful to her. However, she still watched them with relish. After all, no one in the clan would dare to fight with her.
The devil energy in the surroundings began to accelerate, and swept towards the cave while she was indulging in flights of fancy. It formed a huge cyclone.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a majestic and frightening imposing aura crazily gushed out from the inside of the cave. The surrounding devil energy and principles crazily twisted under the influence of this imposing aura.
This imposing aura finally disappeared without a trace after a long time. Then, a blue figure walked out of it.
Ye Xiwen's face revealed a smile as he saw the two people guarding the entrance. He had finally succeeded after several months of closed-door training. He had finally broken through to the Sage Accomplished realm. His cultivation in the sage realm had finally reached perfection.
