The rune array inside was flashing with light, and from time to time, figures were teleported out.
Any contestant who can collect more than twenty rune seals will appear in the formation on the left.
Those eliminated, including corpses, were teleported out from the formation on the right.
"Tsk, tsk, this hunting competition is really unexpected."
"Isn't it true? Two of the participating royal family members were eliminated."
"Chu Xinghe, the eldest son of the Third Prince's Mansion, even lost one of his hands. I don't know who was so brave."
The crowd in the venue started talking in surprise.
All along, due to the shock of the imperial power, no one dared to touch any member of the royal family participating in the competition.
Even if you encounter it, if you really can't avoid it, you can only admit that you are unlucky and surrender.
However, in this hunting competition, such an incident occurred for the first time.
I saw Chu Xinghe at this time, standing in the square and not leaving.
His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the teleported figures around him, seemingly searching for Ye Yang's whereabouts.
"Young Master, you are injured now. Please go to the palace and let the imperial doctor take a look at you."
A palace guard came over and said to Chu Xinghe.
"Need not!"
Chu Xinghe had an angry look on his face, and the bloody wound on his right arm had stopped bleeding in the package of Yuanli.
The injury of the severed palm is not an ordinary injury. Even if it is examined by the imperial doctor, it cannot grow back.
He is waiting for Ye Yang to appear and avenge this broken palm!
Recalling the previous scene where Ye Yang used a sniper rifle to shoot off his palm in order to obtain the rune seal, Chu Xinghe couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.
On the imperial wall.
Chu Emperor Chu Haoyan was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the members in the field calmly. When his eyes fell on the eliminated Chu Xinghe and Chu Zhilan, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
His expression seemed to be quite displeased with someone daring to challenge the imperial power in the competition.
"Do you know who injured Xinghe's broken palm?"
Chu Haoyan asked aloud: "There is also Zhilan's rune seal, who took it away?"
The guard next to him immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I heard that he is a descendant of the Ye family, Ye Yang."
"The Crown Prince is very angry now. He has already called a group of palace guards to prepare for the person to be teleported out and take revenge on him."
Hearing this, a middle-aged man wearing a python robe next to him suddenly frowned.
"Nonsense!"
He scolded angrily, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Quanzi acted too impulsively. I will take him back immediately."
This middle-aged man is Chu Xinghe’s father, Chu Xun.
Although he was very angry when his son lost his hand, it was undoubtedly extremely inappropriate to openly cause trouble under such circumstances.
Moreover, the identity of the other party is not simple. He is the Ye family, one of the four major clans.
If a real commotion breaks out, his Three Princes' Mansion may not be enough for the Ye family if they don't have the royal family to rely on.
"It doesn't matter, let him vent his anger. We can't lose the face of our royal family."
However, at this time, Chu Haoyan unexpectedly acquiesced to this approach.
In his opinion, the Ye family's style has always been arrogant, and it's time to give it a crack.
Anyway, in the end, it would only be the Three Princes' Palace who would take the blame, and it would not have any impact on his reputation as the emperor.
Just take this opportunity to test whether the Ye family has any rebellious intentions.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chu Haoyan's mouth, and his heart was so deep that it made people feel frightened.
…
At this time, as the competition time limit approaches, figures are constantly teleporting out.
As the top five major forces in the Imperial City, the royal family and the four major clans were all present.
However, there is a significant gap in the proportion of members who advance to the ranking battle compared to previous years.
There are three people from the royal family, five people from the Han family, four people from the Jiang family, four people from the Ye family, and five people from the Tang family.
"Ye Han, Ling Feng, Ye Hong, and Wen Cheng have all come out. Where is Ye Yang?"
On the observation deck, Ye Junxiong glanced around, but there was no sign of Ye Yang.
Seeing that the time limit was approaching, he didn't know if Ye Yang, acting alone, could collect twenty rune seals.
Suddenly, Ye Junxiong glanced at the outside of the square.
But I saw a group of heavily armed soldiers arriving here.
The clothes of those soldiers were not the army of the royal palace, but the guards of the Three Princes' Palace!
They stood behind Chu Xinghe aggressively and obeyed his orders.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the powerful figures from all sides who were secretly paying attention changed slightly.
They seemed to have guessed something, and they all looked vaguely at Chu Haoyan on the imperial wall.
The other party looked indifferent and completely ignored the move of leading private soldiers into the square to interfere in the competition.
This new emperor seems to be taking this opportunity to attack the Ye family.
Seeing this scene, all the forces that competed with the Ye family couldn't help but rejoice in the misfortune.
Han Hexuan and Jiang Qian, who were also standing at the exclusive observation deck of the four major clans, also had smiles on their faces, ready to watch a good show.
"Is it true that our Ye family is easy to bully?!"
In response, Ye Junxiong aroused anger in his heart, and his hands in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists.
"Master Ye, don't be impulsive."
Tang Zhenyu obviously saw the situation on the field. He walked close to Ye Junxiong and whispered: "This has been the art of emperors since ancient times."
"If you take action personally, the nature of it will definitely escalate into a situation that is difficult to deal with."
Tang Zhenyu shook his head slightly, the meaning of his words was very obvious.
"I can still see this trick."
Ye Junxiong snorted coldly.
Then he smiled solemnly, "Do they really think that these guards in the palace can do anything to capture Ye Yang?"
In this regard, Tang Zhenyu nodded secretly. After several contacts, he also believed that Ye Yang had the ability to cope with it.
Whoosh!
And just as the undercurrent surged in the Palace Square, the light patterns of the teleportation array flickered again, and a young figure suddenly appeared.
"Look, someone else has been promoted to the ranking battle."
"He should be the last one standing in this hunting contest."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to him curiously, wanting to see who it was.
The energy of the formation dissipated, and as the figure gradually solidified, the person teleported out was Ye Yang.
"Brother Yang."
Ye Wencheng's eyes lit up and he walked over excitedly, "I know that this level of hunting competition is no problem for you at all."
As soon as they met, he couldn't help but praise her.
In his heart, Ye Yang seems to be an invincible existence among their younger generation.
"How capable will the last crane teleported be?"
Ye Han sneered disdainfully, not thinking highly of Ye Yang's achievements.
After speaking, his right hand shook slightly, and the twenty-five rune seals in his palm were directly blown out and slowly dissipated.
The hunting competition in the Mist Forest has ended. These rune seals are useless for the next ranking battle and there is no need to keep them.
There are approximately a hundred people promoted to the ranking battle this time.
For a time, everyone followed suit and shook out the rune seals in their hands to show off their achievements.
Most people have more than twenty rune seals.
Even the three members of the royal family do not number more than thirty.
Seeing this, Ye Yang raised the corner of his mouth and also released the rune seal.
Light seals flew out one after another.
There are thirty-three pieces in total!
That number far exceeds that of many contestants, making him the person with the most achievements in this hunt.
"so amazing!"
Looking at the rune seals flashing on Ye Yang's body, the scene was in an uproar.
"Broken off my hand, snatched my rune seal, and now you dare to show it off, you're looking for death!"
However, at this moment, a violent sound sounded.
Chu Xinghe suddenly activated his martial spirit, and dozens of black thorn vines immediately wrapped around Ye Yang like giant pythons at extremely fast speeds.
"It turns out it's him!"
Ye Yang's eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately recognized Chu Xinghe.
Draw the ground as a prison!
Just when Ye Yang was about to summon the Ice and Fire Elemental Array to protect his body, Ye Wencheng's expression changed and he had already taken the lead in controlling his Golden Pattern Pen Martial Spirit to display his defensive spirit skill.
"Bang bang bang...!!"
The moment the aperture lit up, dozens of black thorn vines crashed onto it, making a heavy sound.
The halo of the pen soul trembled violently and was barely blocked.
"superior!"
Immediately afterwards, dozens of royal guards drew their swords and quickly surrounded him.
It can be seen that the Three Princes' Mansion is very particular about selecting its guards. At a glance, they are all sword spirit warriors.
At this sudden scene, the contestants present and the audience outside the venue were suddenly surprised.
However, the bigwigs from various forces who had already seen the clues all fell silent.
"Chu Xinghe, what do you mean?!"
Ye Wencheng asked with a look of shock and anger.
Ye Hong and Ye Lingfeng also frowned.
"What I mean is very simple. If he cuts off one of my palms, I will cut off both of his hands now!"
Chu Xinghe's face was gloomy and he stared at Ye Yang with malicious eyes.
Hearing this, there was a hint of coldness in Ye Yang's eyes.
He had a chance to escape before, but he still left such a hidden danger.
After hearing this, everyone finally understood that Chu Xinghe's broken right hand was actually injured by Ye Yang!
That boy from the Ye family is going to be in trouble now.
Looking at the situation in the field, the crowd outside the field suddenly looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything objectionable.
After all, even the aloof emperor has a look of indifference at this moment. Who dares to stand up?
Behind the palace represents the royal family.
Anyone who disobeys will undoubtedly violate the imperial power and be regarded as treason!
"If I had known that your city was so deep, I shouldn't have chosen neutrality in the first place!"
Ye Junxiong's eyes darkened and he looked at Chu Haoyan on the imperial wall, already feeling regretful.
At that time, because the old emperor and the prince both had plans to weaken the Ye family's military power, so when Chu Haoyan killed his brother to seize the throne, the Ye family chose to turn a blind eye and maintain a neutral attitude.
But now, as Chu Haoyan's wings mature, he actually wants to take action against the Ye family.
This made Ye Junxiong feel quite angry and helpless.
It seems that no matter who ascends the throne, the power of the Ye family will always be regarded as a potential threat to the imperial power.
"Your Majesty, the ranking battle of the hunting competition is about to begin. It may be inappropriate for this to happen now."
Tong Lecheng from Wanbao Pavilion stood up and deliberately favored Ye Yang.
"I have other ideas. The Talisman and Seal Script Association should not get involved in this matter."
Chu Haoyan still looked indifferent, his face showing the confidence of strategizing.
Hearing this, Tong Lecheng frowned.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't want to meddle in others' affairs.
But Ye Yang, who is currently being targeted, is a rune genius that is rare to see in a century. Once he falls, it will definitely be a loss to the rune world!
Suddenly thinking about it, he turned his eyes to the pavilion master Hou Yongfeng on the side.
I saw the latter, but he was silent at this time, not knowing what the other person was thinking.
Seeing this, Tong Lecheng had no choice but to say no more.
"Boy, cut off your arms now, and then destroy your martial spirit."
Chu Xinghe stared at Ye Yang with gloomy eyes and sneered: "I might be able to spare your life."
Although he was blinded by anger, he was not stupid. Chu Haoyan did not express his position on this, which showed that he had acquiesced in his behavior.
The Ye family of the four major clans are not allowed to be ravaged in front of our royal family?
Chu Xinghe looked at Ye Yang and others with disdain. Relying on the privileges granted by the emperor, he could do whatever he wanted.
"In any kind of competition, swords and swords have no eyes, and injuries are normal."
Ye Lingfeng stood up and persuaded.
"That's right."
Ye Hong also walked over and frowned: "Chu Xinghe, don't go too far."
Ye Han on the side was indifferent and silent.
He wouldn't pay attention to Ye Yang's troubles.
"Excessive?"
Hearing this, Chu Xinghe laughed angrily and suddenly raised his bloody severed arm, "Then the injury he gave me was not excessive?!"
"Whoever dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Chu Xinghe directly activated his martial spirit, and the black thorn vines rushed out instantly, launching another offensive.
Swish, swish, swish...!!
At the same time, dozens of palace guards also activated their sword souls, and slashed towards Ye Yang with sword energy.
boom!
The defensive halo with the ground as a prison finally collapsed under such a fierce offensive.
Buzz——!
However, at this moment, an obscure energy fluctuation suddenly burst out, instantly forming a mysterious formation that enveloped everyone.
"Reincarnation Phantom Killing!"
With a cold shout, the Jiuqu Samsara Formation suddenly started to move, and it launched a spiritual attack formation soul skill on Chu Xinghe and others.
Almost instantly, Chu Xinghe and the others were shaken, and a terrifying mental storm instantly arose in their minds.
Everyone's minds are trapped in countless illusions of reincarnation, and it is difficult to extricate themselves in a short period of time.
"Reincarnation detonation!"
Ye Yang had no unnecessary nonsense, and with his thoughts in mind, the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Formation rapidly shrank, and the light shone strongly.
The illusion of reincarnation that Chu Xinghe and others were experiencing at the moment suddenly exploded.
Almost instantly, their spiritual sea could no longer hold up and collapsed completely.
"Ahhhh!!"
In an instant, one by one fell to the ground bleeding from their seven holes amidst screams.
Although they are not dead yet, from the eyes with dilated pupils, it is obvious that they have become crippled people whose souls have been severely damaged and have lost their sense of autonomy.
"This is... a mental attack?!"
Everyone was stunned by the sudden and strange scene.
In just a few breaths, he defeated many guards of the Third Prince's Mansion. Such terrifying formations and soul skills were simply too brutal.
For a while, the sound of gasping for cold air continued to sound.
