Chapter 972

　　Qin Yun staked his life to strike with his strongest power and explode with this kind of power. Everyone present are amazed and quietly looking at those 31 golden illusory dragon images dancing in the wind until they gradually dissipated. A Martial King can unexpectedly achieve 31 dragon power! Everyone without exception is looking at Qin Yun in shock. Qin Yun’s inflated arm gradually shrank, a layer of blood and sweat can be seen on his skin. Clearly he forcefully released such strong power, even if it is so, it still causes people to feel inconceivable. Many people are unable to accept this result, that a Martial King’s power can excel that of many Martial Emperors.

　　“This is impossible.. what the hell is going on? He is a Martial King, how can he have 31 dragon power?”

　　“This guy is too scary!”

　　“Look at his arm, it looks like it almost exploded, seems like it is injured!”

　　“Wasn’t he injured by Zhang Yunping just now? How can he still release such terrifying power?”

　　“Zhang Yunping only has 30 dragon power, could it be that he can even defeat Zhang Yunping?”

　　“How can that be? This guy can release 31 dragon power by staking his life!”

　　Zhang Yunping gritted his teeth, the flesh on his face twitched as he glared at Qin Yun. The top 3 of the test has also been determined. 1st is Ye Yaoxue with 55 dragon power. 2nd is Xie Wufeng with 31 dragon power. 3rd is Qin Yun. Although both of them got 31 dragon power, since Xie Wufeng tested earlier, he got the 2nd place. Qin Yun has no complain about the result. Zhang Yunping and 1st pagoda’s people have very unsightly expression because they failed to obtain any of the prizes. Ye Yaoxue is very happy since she obtained a high quality Regent Origin Stone. Qin Yun doesn’t lack Regent Origin Stone but so long as 1st pagoda doesn’t obtain any of the rewards, he is very happy.

　　“Alright, those who passed the power test, come and accept a Ghost Emperor Pouch. Each pagoda can only get one pouch, then you will have to go subdue the Ghost Beast Emperor. The pagoda that subdues the strongest Ghost Beast Emperor will obtain reward! 1st place will obtain 6 high quality Regent Origin Stones, 2nd place will get 6 mid quality Regent Origin Stones and 3rd place will get 6 low quality Regent Origin Stones!” an elder announced.

　　Ye Yaoxue asked : “How will you evaluate the strength of the Ghost Beast Emperor?”

　　The elder said : “It is simple, the more strong a Ghost Beast Emperor is, the bigger it’s horn. We will evaluate using the size of the horn. Also, it is dangerous to hunt Ghost Beast Emperor, if any accident happens, you will have to take responsibility for it.”

　　Qin Yun doesn’t know what Ghost Beast Emperors are but from the name he is certain that they are ghost beasts at the level of Martial Emperor strength. During this competition, it is possible to secretly cheat. Qin Yun feels that it is highly likely that 1st pagoda has already sent some elders to capture the strongest Ghost Beast Emperors.

　　Murong Tianzhe asked : “Will we have to hand over the Ghost Beast Emperors we capture?”

　　The elder said with smile : “No need, you can keep them!”

　　A disciple said : “Ghost Beast Emperors are truly terrifying and I am just a single person, there is no way I can capture one of them!”

　　This disciple’s companion was eliminated from the competition because he could not pass the power test. There are at least 30 pagoda with only one disciple now.

　　Xie Wufeng said : “Those of you are alone, join forces together and assist each other.”

　　The elder said : “You have ten days, after ten days, we will evaluate the result in the plaza in front of the 1st pagoda. Everyone, move out.”

　　Ye Yaoxue walked ahead, leading Qin Yun out of 1st pagoda. Xie Wufeng and Murong Tianzhe walking right behind.

　　“Yun old boy, you have to be careful this time.” Xie Wufeng warned.

　　“I know.” Qin Yun will certainly be very vigilant.

　　Ye Yaoxue is also very worried about this, so she let Qin Yun far away from Hundred Pagoda Sect at very high speed.

　　“Maybe we are being followed!” Qin Yun is following behind Ye Yaoxue as they flew in the sky.

　　“I don’t know, the situation is quite complicated.” Ye Yaoxue is flying towards the depth of the mountain range.

　　Hundred Pagoda Sect’s hundred pagodas originally have been inside an enormous mountain range. The Hundred Pagoda Mountain Range is very large, there are also many formidable beasts inside it. Reportedly, there are even beasts that are as powerful as 6th tribulation Half Immortals. Ordinarily, Hundred Pagoda Sect’s disciples enter the depth of this mountain range and test out their strength against the weaker beasts. Qin Yun and Ye Yaoxue and flying very quickly. On the road, Qin Yun took out talismans from time to time and destroyed their remnant aura so that nobody can track them.

　　“Senior sister Ye, how strong is the strongest Ghost Beast Emperor?” Qin Yun asked.

　　“The strongest Ghost Beast Emperor is as strong as the top 9 peak Martial Emperors of Hundred Pagoda Sect! These kind of beasts’ horn are very big!” Ye Yaoxue said.

　　Qin Yun is slightly startled and said : “Then doesn’t it mean that only Half Immortals can kill them?”

　　Ye Yaoxue shook her head and said : “If it is merely one tribulation Half Immortal, one would not dare confront the strongest Ghost Beast Emperor!”

　　“How do these Ghost Beast Emperors come to being?” Qin Yun asked.

　　“There is a black lake at the very depth of the mountain range. When beasts fall into it, they become Ghost Beasts. These Ghosts Beasts capture other beasts and take them to the black lake to soak them in the lake, then they can swallow them. Ghost Beast can swallow each other and fuse. So long as they can become Ghost Beast Emperor, they can grow Ghost Beast Horn. If we run into a Ghost Beasts, we can judge whether they are weak or strong based on the size of their Ghost Beast Horn.” Ye Yaoxue said.

　　Qin Yun has two of such horns, one is that Immortal Beast’s horn and the other is the Evil Horn.

　　Inside a secret room in 1st pagoda, Yang Chongtian is sitting along with several elders, their expression is somewhat grave.

　　“Star Traveling Pagoda’s Star Origin Great Formation has been restored! It must have been done by that little demon name Qin Xiao Yun!” Yang Chongtian gnashed his teeth as he spoke.

　　“Back then, the Star Origin Great Formation was heavily damaged, many formidable Inscription Masters were completely helpless and unable to restore it. Are you sure that little demon did not just misguide you?” a red clothed elders asked.

　　“According to the report from the spies, this is not a hoax. All those old men of Star Traveling Pagoda have broken through! Moreover, they have become young and filled with vitality! Star Cultivators like them suddenly breaking through, the reason must be the Star Origin Great Formation!” Yang Chongtian slapped the table and said in deep voice : “That little girl Ye Yaoxue must have taken fancy to that little demon’s Inscription talent and wants to rely on him!”

　　The red clothed elder said : “We reneged on the promise to provide resources to Star Traveling Pagoda, we already had enmity with them, now they must hate us even more! We must stop them from rising up!”

　　An elder half opened his eyes and asked dispiritedly : “That Qin Xiao Yun is so talented, he must have a great background, have you checked his origin?”

　　Yang Chongtian said : “I learned something, these information comes from Dragon Sect, they have always been trying to dominate the Ordinary Realm right? For that purpose, recently they sent many forces there but they suffered severe losses. Their roots in Ordinary Realm has been completely uprooted. And the person who caused them to suffer such miserable loss is a little demon named Qin Yun! I don’t know much about this Qin Yun, I have already sent people to Ordinary Realm.”

　　The red clothed elder said : “That little girl Ye Yaoxue leaving 1st pagoda is beyond our expectation, we must grab her back! She and Qin Yun already left the Hundred Pagoda Sect to hunt Ghost Beast Emperor. Did you arrange the matter of capturing her?”

　　Yang Chongtian looked at the red clothed elder and said with sneer : “Old Zhang, are you trying to capture that little girl for your grandson Zhang Yunping? And you want me to arrange that? I should ask you to handle this matter since you are an expert in such matter!”

　　The red clothed elder chuckled and said : “I thought you would also want to take action! Yang Chongtian, doesn’t your grandson also want Ye Yaoxue? Shouldn’t you also work a bit? I don’t believe that you won’t secretly take action!”

　　“Anyway, Qin Yun and Ye Yaoxue will disappear after today!” Yang Chongtian said.

　　“Be a bit prudent with this matter, don’t let them know that our 1st pagoda is targeting them, it would be troublesome otherwise!” the red clothed elder said.

　　“I sent my first class assassination team! They even killed Divine Sword Pagoda’s one tribulation Half Immortal! Capturing two brats will be now problem for them! However, killing them is prohibited!” Yang Chongtian said with cold sneer : “Remind your people to be careful too.”

　　“Yang Chongtian, you are truly something! You actually sent your assassination team!” the red clothed elder chuckled and said : “How about we bet on whose people would accomplish the task first!”

　　“Let’s bet!” Yang Chongtian proudly smiled.

　　Qin Yun and Ye Yaoxue have been very vigilant on the road. Especially Qin Yun, even though it is broad day light, he released his Nether Moon mental power and covered a radius of few kilometers. If there is anything within his range, he will immediately detect it. Although it consumes a lot of his mental power, this brings a great deal of security.

　　In the evening, they flew past a great valley. Ye Yaoxue glanced at a very large and very tall mountain ahead, the peak of this mountain is covered with blue ice and snow.

　　She pointed at that mountain and said : “After crossing that iceberg, we will enter the area covered by the Ghost Beast Hidden Lake. Ghost Beast Hidden Lake area covers a radius of hundred thousand li, every kind of ghost beasts roam in there.”

　　Qin Yun looked all around and said : “Are other people also traveling this road?”

　　Ye Yaoxue said : “Some are, some aren’t! I am taking this path not to be quick but to avoid other people, so as not to be tracked!”

　　Qin Yun suddenly sensed some people entering his mental power range. He immediately pulled Ye Yaoxue and in an instant arrived on the ground from the sky.

　　“Some people are here, 3 of them, their strength is not weak!” Qin Yun said in low voice. He unleashed Shadow power, concealed himself and Ye Yaoxue together in the darkness. At the same time he released a Spirit Eye to see what is happening all around.
