Chapter 1019: Outside the City: Interception

"Alright, I'll also arrange someone to scout for news," Ye Liuyun said, pulling out a Transmission Talisman, communicating with Qiong Qi, briefing the situation and goal, and asking Qiong Qi to help find a breakthrough.

He trusts that Qiong Qi is sly and cunning and will definitely find news about the Cheng Clan.

Later, Ye Liuyun used another Transmission Talisman to speak a few words to Feng Wanru.

"Aunt!"

Ye Liuyun was so excited he didn't know what to say. In front of his father, he also felt embarrassed to say he missed her.

The other side hadn't replied for a long time.

After a while, Feng Wanru finally responded.

"Stinky kid, is it really you?"

Feng Wanru had been so emotional she had been crying for a while; after calming down she could speak.

"Aunt, I can protect you now!" Ye Liuyun said.

"Mm, mm!" Feng Wanru answered repeatedly, too excited to speak further.

"Wait for me to pick you up!" Ye Liuyun added, then returned the Transmission Talisman to his father.

Feng Wanru, on the other side, was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Then Ye Liuyun took out several Transmission Talismans, gave them to his father, and asked his father to give one each to his aunt and mother, so they could communicate anytime thereafter.

Ye Liuyun also handed over a lot of cultivation resources to his father, telling him to give a share to his mother and aunt as well.

Ye Xiaotian didn't hold back with Ye Liuyun. They truly both needed cultivation resources right now.

Especially the high‑tier Food Star Beast blood, Life Spring Water and other rare resources, which are greatly beneficial to their cultivation.

Ye Liuyun tried to have his father take some ferocious beasts away, but Ye Xiaotian refused.

"Keep them for self‑defense! You're now a Prince, surely you have many enemies and need ferocious beasts for protection! I'm just one person; staying hidden is safe."

After that, Ye Xiaotian began to ask about the woman by his son's side.

"Who is the girl you're with?"

Ye Liuyun gave no further introduction.

"She's just an ordinary friend!"

Seeing his son didn't want to say more, Ye Xiaotian stopped asking and put away the Transmission Talisman.

Ye Liuyun had originally wanted to chat with his father a bit longer, but he noticed more than ten high‑tier strongmen chasing out of the city toward them.

He immediately told his father to leave first.

"Father, we must act quickly; you go back to scout for news!"

His father, thinking Ye Liuyun was anxious to rescue his mother, didn't think much. After all, with the Transmission Talisman they could contact anytime. So he launched a Flying Boat and left first.

As soon as his father left, Ye Liuyun immediately projected his Divine Sense, making those high‑tier strongmen notice him.

Those people instantly formed a fan shape and surrounded him.

"Who are you?" Ye Liuyun asked with his Divine Sense.

He had just reunited with his father and was very happy, but didn't expect these people to interrupt.

He had already decided that if there was no misunderstanding, he wouldn't let these people go.

"Kid, you dare kill our family's young master! Our Clan Chief has already spoken; you and your family will all be buried as offerings!" a middle‑aged man shouted from afar, using his Divine Sense to transmit a threatening voice to Ye Liuyun.

"A group of Martial Cultivators of the first or second life‑death tier dare to brag to me!"

Ye Liuyun let out a cold snort; the Vajra Divine Bow suddenly appeared in his hand, channeling Demon Qi, and he raised it, firing an arrow at the middle‑aged man.

The man felt the arrow's speed and threat, and slightly sidestepped to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the arrow even altered its course, and with a "puff" it pierced his chest.

"Ah!"

After the man's startled cry, he fell motionless, dropping from the sky.

Ye Liuyun immediately shot two more arrows, each taking down a Martial Cultivator.

The remaining Martial Cultivators instantly halted, fearing to become Ye Liuyun's next target. Some even considered retreating, slowly stepping back.

An elderly man, seeing this, immediately threatened Ye Liuyun: "Kid, your True Essence probably can't support another one or two arrows! If you lay down your weapon and surrender, I can plead with the Clan Chief to spare your family!"

The old man, noting Ye Liuyun wasn't old, tried to deceive him into dropping his weapon.

Those who wanted to retreat also stopped. They realized the artifact's consumption was huge; Ye Liuyun couldn't keep attacking.

As long as Ye Liuyun doesn't attack them now, they still have a chance to capture him.

Ye Liuyun heard that and almost laughed out loud. "Does this old fool think I'm a three‑year‑old child?"

He raised his hand, loosed an arrow at the old man.

The old man fell to the ground, his heart pierced by a fist‑sized black hole swirling with Demon Qi.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun sheathed the Vajra Divine Bow and said to the old man's corpse, "You're right; I can only fire one more arrow, so here's your reward!"

Ye Liuyun can now at most fire four arrows with Buddha Demon Power. If he used True Essence, he could fire four more, but he doesn't want to waste True Essence.

"This kid is too arrogant! Capture him alive and bring him back to the Clan Chief to skin him!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun sheath his bow, the Martial Cultivators immediately grew bold. Someone shouted, and the others closed in.

"Since you're looking for death, none of you may leave!"

Ye Liuyun barked coldly, releasing the ferocious beasts.

Two dragon eagles, an ice demon tiger, a teal wind wolf, and the newly tamed Black Python, a single‑horned rhinoceros, and Huo Hu all appeared together, charging at the Martial Cultivators.

He himself was busy swinging the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, absorbing Yin Soul.

These ferocious beasts, except the Black Python which is at the first level of the Life‑Death realm, are all of a higher realm than those Martial Cultivators.

Moreover, with Huo Hu as the new Beast King, they coordinated. The two dragon eagles didn't join the attack immediately but guarded the perimeter to prevent escapes.

The ice demon tiger was there to guard against anyone sneaking up on Ye Liuyun and didn't take much part in the fighting.

The other few high‑realm beasts charged forward with the Black Python and killed those Martial Cultivators.

Huo Hu couldn't help but note that it could annihilate an opponent with a single strike, and its illusion art could also aid the Black Python's attacks.

Thus the entire battle was swift and orderly, with no Martial Cultivator escaping or threatening Ye Liuyun.

"Fine! You actually have some skill!"

Afterward, Ye Liuyun praised Huo Hu, and handed over the Primordial Pills and corpses of those Martial Cultivators to Huo Hu for distribution.

Huo Hu's allocation satisfied the other beasts as well; everyone got a share.

The Storage Ring was given entirely to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun let them each choose some high‑rank weapons or treasures for self‑defense.

Then he recalled them to the Space World and sent them back to the base.
