But judging from the atmosphere, it probably isn't a bad thing.

As they spoke, the group headed toward the martial arts pavilion of the Nangong family's inner clan, which was a very large pavilion.

"All disciples of the inner clan, gather at the Martial Arts Pavilion. We have a guest." As everyone headed towards the Martial Arts Pavilion, Nangong Lingtian immediately used a method to transmit his voice to all the cultivators in the inner clan space.

The next moment, regardless of whether they were in seclusion for cultivation or not, as long as they were not cultivators breaking through their cultivation level in seclusion, they all rushed to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

The Nangong family is unlike any ordinary sect; it is a family-based power with nepotism. Except for some women who marry into the Nangong family, almost everyone has the blood of the Nangong family.

"Sister, isn't this a bit too much?" Ye Liuyun slowly moved closer to Ye Ninglu and whispered.

"Hmm, this shows that the Nangong family values ​​you highly. Since even the clan leader said not to feel any pressure, then you should beat them up later. Just make sure you don't suffer any losses," Ye Ninglu replied.

In this kind of situation, you either refuse from the start, or if you can't refuse, you should be firm. The cultivation world is ultimately a place where strength reigns supreme. As long as Ye Liuyun is strong enough and wins the approval of the Nangong family, then everything will be negotiable.

Soon after entering the Martial Arts Pavilion, numerous disciples of the Nangong Sect gathered from all directions on the viewing platforms surrounding the pavilion.

But Nangong Ao couldn't wait any longer.

He arrived at the martial arts arena of the Martial Arts Pavilion first.

"Brother Yun, come on, we can act without any scruples here," Nangong Ao said seriously.

When the Nangong clan chief and the others saw Nangong Ao's impatient manner, they couldn't help but laugh.

"This kid is still so impatient. It seems he lost face after being punched by the Ye family kid yesterday," Nangong Zheng said helplessly.

After speaking, the elders of the Nangong family flew to the stands directly above and sat down.

"Brother-in-law, don't hold back this time! I'm looking forward to you beating my good-for-nothing brother until he cries. Give him a good beating, as long as he doesn't die. I have faith in you!" Nangong Ba encouraged Ye Liuyun.

Large beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on Ye Liuyun's forehead. He thought to himself, "Is this still my own brother? How could he let an outsider beat up his own younger brother?"

Ye Liuyun had some doubts about whether Nangong Ba and Nangong Ao had a bad relationship.

But in reality, Ye Liuyun was overthinking it. The two brothers had a good relationship. However, one of them was honest and straightforward, but also a combative person, while the other was proud and unwilling to admit defeat.

The two brothers often fought within their clan, but Nangong Ao could never defeat Nangong Ba, as there was a difference in their cultivation levels.

"Have we had guests? How interesting that our inner clan would allow outsiders to come in." Some disciples who were unaware of the situation asked the others as soon as they arrived at the venue.

"I don't know, but for the clan leader and the others to come and greet him personally, he must be no ordinary person. However, this young master doesn't seem to have a high cultivation level." Another female disciple looked at Ye Liuyun with some puzzlement.

To be precise, many people present were puzzled by Ye Liuyun's cultivation level. Normal cultivators would not immediately assume that the other party was a body cultivator.

"Be careful," Ye Ninglu instructed before leaving the battle arena and heading to the spectator stands.

"Hey? Sister Ninglu, this handsome young man looks a lot like you! What's your relationship?" As soon as Ye Ninglu arrived at the viewing platform, some women from the Nangong family who recognized her immediately asked.

Many of these women, like Ye Ninglu, were not of the same surname.

"Guess," Ye Ninglu said with a smile.

The women thought for a moment, and then answered.

"You're not your brother, are you?"

“You guessed right, he’s my brother, but there’s no reward, haha,” Ye Ninglu replied.

Ye Ninglu's status was different from that of these women; as the wife of the eldest son of the direct line of the younger generation, her status was much higher than theirs.

"Oh, really? But what exactly is your brother's cultivation level? It's rare to see a young man that the family treats so well. At least, in all the years I've been a member of the Nangong family, I've never seen the patriarch or the others personally receive a young man." The woman said with a smile.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, she glanced at the Nangong family members around her, and then walked towards Nangong Ao with a sense of helplessness.

The battle began immediately, and protective barriers rose up around the vast battlefield in a matter of moments.

"Third Brother, you'd better be mentally prepared. Once we're going to go all out, I can't guarantee I can control my strength," Ye Liuyun said beforehand.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ao immediately became displeased.

"Don't worry, it's not like I haven't been beaten up before. Every time my second brother and I fight, we usually break a few bones. I'm used to it," Nangong Ao said seriously.

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was relieved.

"In that case, let's get ready to begin," Ye Liuyun gestured.

As soon as these words were spoken, a powerful expert from the Nangong family at the Fourth Extreme Realm flew down from the stands and landed in the center of the arena.

"The two sides in this competition are Nangong Ao of the Nangong family and Ye Liuyun of the Ye family, a family formed through marriage. This competition should be stopped when the point is reached, and no one should kill the other," the referee reminded.

Ye Liuyun and Nangong Ao nodded at the same time.

After confirming that the two players were ready, the referee raised his hand and announced loudly.

"The duel is officially beginning." After announcing this, the referee quickly left the space between the two.

This time, Nangong Ao chose to take the initiative. He formed a sword incantation with his hands, raised his hand, and a series of golden sword lights shot towards Ye Liuyun in an instant.

"Golden Rainbow Sword Technique - Six-Penetration Flying"

This time, Nangong Ao was smarter and didn't engage in close combat with Ye Liuyun, because yesterday's experience told him that there was no chance of winning in close combat.

Six sword lights arrived in front of Ye Liuyun in an instant, but Ye Liuyun grinned and raised his hand to block the six sword lights flying towards him.

With her hands, she easily deflected the six sword lights. The sword lights struck her body, making clanging sounds all over her body, but they couldn't break through her defenses at all.

This scene, witnessed by the scions of the Nangong family outside the arena, was utterly astonishing.

"No way? He used his physical strength to withstand Brother Ao's Golden Rainbow Sword Technique. This Golden Rainbow Sword Technique is a high-grade Dao Palace technique."

"Yes, look closely, this kid didn't use any magic to resist at all, it seems to be purely physical strength. So, this kid is a physical cultivator?"

After this exchange, anyone with even a little common sense about cultivation could guess what was going on with Ye Liuyun.

"Such a strong physical body. Judging by its strength, it must be at least as strong as a mid-grade spiritual weapon. Even the Golden Rainbow Sword Technique couldn't break through its defenses," said the Nangong Clan Chief, squinting his eyes.

"As expected of a pure body cultivator, he doesn't rely on magic power to enhance his physical body. He has such defensive power just by relying on his physical body. If this boy Ye were to cultivate internal strength in his physical body, he would only be stronger," Nangong Zheng also said.

A family like theirs must know that physical cultivators can cultivate internal energy, and once they have internal energy, their physical strength and power will increase many times over.

"So powerful?" Nangong Ao's expression grew increasingly solemn. He began to increase his power, changing his hand seals. The six sword lights condensed from magic power became stronger and stronger, and their attack speed also began to increase.

After playing with the six swords for a while, Ye Liuyun found it uninteresting and decided to break Nangong Ao's sword technique.

"It's been so many years since I've made a move, isn't this enough of a warm-up?" Ye Liuyun said, and then launched a counterattack. She waved her hands, and the six sword lights flashed past her in a flash. The next moment, the six sword lights shattered.

Nangong Ao's spell was broken, and he immediately let out a muffled groan, suffering a backlash.

"How could this be? It shattered my Golden Rainbow Sword Technique so easily?" Nangong Ao said in disbelief.

But when Nangong Ao looked at Ye Liuyun's location after stabilizing his internal energy, he found that Ye Liuyun had already disappeared.

"Third Brother, don't let your guard down, I'm here." Just as Nangong Ao was searching for Ye Liuyun's whereabouts, he heard Ye Liuyun's kind reminder.

Nangong Ao was startled and instinctively raised his hands to defend himself. Just like yesterday, Ye Liuyun swept his hand with a chop, which struck Nangong Ao's hands heavily.

This time, Ye Liuyun didn't hold back.

Nangong Ao immediately felt a sharp pain in his hands, and his whole body was sent flying uncontrollably to the side.

"What a heavy attack. As expected, he deliberately held back last night." Nangong Ao finally understood.

Ye Liuyun was giving him face on that occasion yesterday.

Nangong Ao crashed heavily into the barrier, spitting out a mouthful of blood from the shock.

"Hey, Ao'er." Another middle-aged noblewoman beside Nangong Lingtian couldn't help but call out when she saw Nangong Ao was injured.

This person is Nangong Ao's biological mother, and Nangong Lingtian definitely has more than one woman.

"Calm down. It's just a mouthful of blood. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't embarrass the Nangong family. The disciples of the Nangong family are not delicate vases that can be broken at the slightest touch." Madam Shang sternly reprimanded Nangong Ao's birth mother.

"Oh? I'm sorry, sister, I lost my composure." Nangong Ao's birth mother quickly lowered her head and apologized.

In the Nangong family, the direct line should actually be called the eldest son's line.

Within the main branch of the family, there is also a distinction between primary and secondary lineages. The direct line of succession is as follows: Nangong Zheng, Nangong Lingtian, Nangong Hui, and then Nangong Mufeng. This is generally how it works.

Everyone looked at Nangong Ao, unable to even withstand such an attack, and for a moment they were all somewhat incredulous.

Because Nangong Ao was already an extremely outstanding junior member of the family among this generation of disciples, but he was injured by Ye Liuyun after only a few rounds of fighting.

"Is he that powerful? Brother Ao wouldn't be holding back, would he?" Those who knew Nangong Ao's strength were quite puzzled.

Nangong Ao was not defeated by the attack, but stood up again. The attack had woken him up. If he was unconvinced yesterday and thought that he hadn't used his full strength, the attack just now told him that Ye Liuyun's combat power was stronger than his.

He could hold nothing back.

"Impressive, Brother Yun. But now, I must use all my strength and stop testing you," Nangong Ao said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"A full-force battle is what I'm looking forward to," Ye Liuyun replied.

Nangong Ao nodded, and the next moment, a golden light flashed on his body, and a golden battle armor appeared on his body. He also had a sword in his hand, which was a low-grade Xuan-level magic weapon.

More than once, twelve flying swords brimming with magical power floated behind him, instantly amplifying Nangong Ao's aura several times over.

Chapter 405 Winning Streak (6000 words)

When Ye Liuyun saw that Nangong Ao had taken out so many treasures in one go, and that the magic power in his body was also starting to boil, it meant that this guy was about to do something big.

"Huh? This? It's just a friendly spar, why are you bringing up treasures?" Ye Ninglu's expression changed, and then she grabbed Nangong Hui's clothes in annoyance.

As soon as Nangong Hui saw the look in his wife's eyes, he knew that Ye Ninglu was worried that Ye Liuyun would be injured by Nangong Ao's magic weapon.

"Madam, don't worry. She can tell at a glance that she didn't use her full strength. If she really couldn't beat her, Liuyun shouldn't have tried to fight her head-on." Nangong Hui's eyes didn't seem to show any fear when he looked at Ye Liuyun; at most, he just felt that she was a bit troublesome.

Ye Ninglu observed Ye Liuyun carefully and found that Ye Liuyun did not seem very scared.

Since they're not afraid, it means they have confidence.

"How should we deal with this kid?" Nangong Zheng and the others stared at Ye Liuyun with serious expressions. They felt that Ye Liuyun still had ways to deal with the situation, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath, and the internal energy that had been dormant in her body for many years began to revive. As the internal energy surged out of her dantian, Ye Liuyun's body was also filled with an energy completely different from magic power.

Ye Liuyun's physical strength also began to increase.

"This power? No way, this kid has really cultivated internal energy? So, he has mastered the complete Primordial Body Refining Technique?" Clan Chief Nangong was quite shocked.

The complete body-refining technique is as rare as the methods of the divine realm in this era, and may even be rarer.

Ye Liuyun released his power, raised his hand, pointed one finger at Nangong Ao, and pointed out. In the next moment, an extremely fast white energy shot towards Nangong Ao.

"This? No way? A body cultivator can cast spells?" Nangong Ao looked at the rapidly approaching energy and quickly dodged.

However, the internal energy that Ye Liuyun released was not just one burst.

"Dodge? I'll show you how to dodge, Gatling gun." Ye Liuyun chuckled, then raised both hands, his ten fingers like gun barrels, and began firing rapidly at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao was startled and quickly raised his defenses to block Ye Liuyun's attack. However, he underestimated Ye Liuyun's internal force attack. The penetrating power of each internal force ray was much stronger than that of ordinary spells.

Internal energy is more violent than magical energy, so its destructive power is also greater.

Nangong Ao's magical defense only withstood one wave before being pierced by Ye Liuyun's internal force.

"Impossible." Nangong Ao looked at his defenses being shattered and couldn't accept the result at all.

But it wasn't over yet; Ye Liuyun's attack didn't end there.

Next, a series of rays struck Nangong Ao's armor. This armor was a top-grade spiritual artifact, so it withstood most of Ye Liuyun's attacks. Even so, Nangong Ao's expression was still very uncomfortable.

"Damn it, what kind of attack is this? Such heavy power! I can feel its destructive force even through my armor. I can't continue like this."

"Gilded Twelve Sword Techniques - Go!" Nangong Ao was forced to retreat step by step. He struggled to raise his hand, formed hand seals, and controlled the flying sword behind him to fly towards Ye Liuyun.

Judging from Nangong Ao's fighting style, he is skilled in sword control, which involves manipulating flying swords to injure enemies, similar to the techniques of Qingyun Peak in the Yun Sect.

Compared to ordinary people's swordsmanship, sword control is more flexible, allowing one to kill enemies from afar. It can also be used to form sword formations by combining sword techniques, integrating offense and defense. However, this method requires soul power and is not something that everyone can learn.

The fact that Nangong Ao could learn sword control techniques indicates that his soul power is quite outstanding.

Each of the flying swords that came this time was filled with strong magical energy fluctuations. These swords actively released their sword light and blasted down towards Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun quickly stopped attacking and tried to dodge, but the opponent had twelve flying swords attacking her, which was equivalent to facing twelve cultivators. It was impossible to completely dodge.

However, Ye Liuyun relied on the ability of the Myriad Flower Eyes to dodge most of the attacks. As for those he couldn't dodge, he would use his physical strength to withstand them. When Ye Liuyun used his internal energy, his physical strength was enough to withstand the power released by the top-grade spiritual weapon, but he could not withstand the direct attack of the top-grade spiritual weapon.

Actually, Ye Liuyun could easily avoid wasting time with this guy, but since he was Nangong Hui's younger brother, Ye Liuyun felt that even if he wanted to defeat him, he needed to be more tactful and not act too quickly.

Her plan was to stall for time, and then defeat Nan Ao. That way, even if Nan Gong Ao lost, it could only be said that he had done his best.

Energy explosions rang out incessantly on the battlefield, almost engulfing Ye Liuyun. The deafening sounds excited the members of the Nangong family around them.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Liuyun was an outsider, and they certainly didn't want an outsider to win against Nangong Ao. If Nangong Ao lost, it would be a disgrace, a disgrace to the entire Nangong family.

"Haha, it's here! Brother Ao's most powerful technique, the Twelve Gilded Sword Techniques, is a flying sword composed of twelve top-grade spiritual artifacts. Each sword can release its power independently. With an opponent facing twelve cultivators, the Ye family has no chance of winning," a member of the Nangong family said excitedly.
