Chapter 1059: Came Knocking

"That's wonderful; junior sister, you're actually unharmed!"

Feng Yuanlai sneered as he caught up with Feng Xiaoxiao, trying to get on familiar terms with him.

He still thought that his escape had displeased Feng Xiaoxiao.

"The situation was urgent then; I didn't have time to pull you away! How are Ye Liuyun and his group doing?"

He had assumed that when the wolf pack chased, those people would all be dead.

But upon seeing Feng Xiaoxiao, his curiosity was sparked again.

Although Feng Xiaoxiao now dislikes him, he still tells him, "Elder Tong is dead!"

"I told you, that kid is completely unreliable! Is that kid dead? When did you escape?"

Feng Yuanlai instantly perked up, showing no concern for Elder Tong's fate at all.

His words only made Feng Xiaoxiao more resentful.

"What kid? Clean up your mouth! Young Master Ye is alive and well. I only came out to find a monster beast to practice on!"

"Oh?" Feng Yuanlai, upon hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, immediately sensed something off in her tone.

And Ye Liuyun actually hasn't died!

Afterward, he began to cautiously probe with words.

Feng Xiaoxiao is no match for him; after a few questions, he learned the whole story.

Moreover, he discovered that Ye Liuyun is breaking through his realm, and no one is guarding his side!

"So he has so many high‑rank Monster Beasts around him?" He pretended to praise Ye Liuyun, then probed Feng Xiaoxiao: "Junior sister, he didn't arrange a guardian Monster Beast for you and let you run out to train yourself? That kid is really over the line!"

"Don't stir up trouble! That Qing Lin Wolf King, he's already given it to me. It's now inside my Storage Ring!"

Feng Xiaoxiao had no guard at all and didn't realize Feng Yuanlai was testing her.

"That's good, that's good! Then I'm relieved!"

Feng Yuanlai echoed repeatedly.

Inside, he thought, "Good I didn't strike her; otherwise, if she released the Qing Lin Wolf, I wouldn't stand a chance!"

Unless he could kill her with a single blow, as long as she retains a sliver of Divine Sense, she could release the Qing Lin Wolf to protect herself.

Feng Yuanlai didn't intend to kill her; he only wanted to obtain her.

"How about using this chance to kill Ye Liuyun first! This silly girl is easy to handle; we can deal with the rest later. After I kill Ye Liuyun, I might have a chance to go after the princess."

Thinking that, he stopped pestering Feng Xiaoxiao.

"Junior sister, go on your trial; I won't hold you back! With the Qing Lin Wolf guarding you, safety is guaranteed!"

Feng Xiaoxiao was eager to stay far away from him. So she agreed with a nod and hurried away.

"That silly girl, she actually won't talk to me! After I finish dealing with Ye Liuyun, I'll see how I can subdue you!"

He watched Feng Xiaoxiao walk away, then turned and sprinted toward Ye Liuyun's location.

At this moment, his split self was breaking through, causing Ye Liuyun's main body's aura to fluctuate wildly.

When Feng Yuanlai arrived, he immediately sensed Ye Liuyun's breakthrough.

And there was no guardian by Ye Liuyun's side.

"What a providential opportunity!"

Feng Yuanlai's heart leapt with joy, and he charged straight at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had actually noticed him long ago; his main body was using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to monitor the surroundings.

"Yo ho, you came knocking! That's truly walking into a trap!"

Ye Liuyun felt a secret delight, yet waited calmly for him to step into the Formation.

Feng Yuanlai originally rushed straight toward Ye Liuyun.

But the moment he entered the Formation, he fell into an Illusion Array and instantly lost sight of Ye Liuyun.

"Damn, Illusion Array!"

He suddenly realized he had fallen into Ye Liuyun's trap.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun calmly pulled his Soul into his own realm of transformation.

Feng Yuanlai immediately wagged his tail like a dog, pleading to Ye Liuyun.

"Young Master Ye, Prince Ye! Please spare me! I have offended you before! But I just saw your breakthrough was dangerous, so I came to help you as Protector!"

But he was still trying to play clever with Ye Liuyun.

"Is that so? Then I still have to thank you?" Ye Liuyun asked with a mischievous grin.

He wasn't the inexperienced youngster like Feng Xiaoxiao, so he naturally wouldn't believe Feng Yuanlai's words. Moreover, having already taken action, he wouldn't let Feng Yuanlai off, lest a disaster linger.

"I won't, I won't! As long as you release me, I'll gladly serve you as a beast of burden!"

At this moment, Feng Yuanlai would promise anything to stay alive.

Ye Liuyun merely gave a faint smile, too lazy to waste words, and began a Soul Search to see how much he knew about the Feng family.

After a single search, he realized just how filthy this guy's thoughts were!

"So he's a scoundrel!"

Having learned Feng Yuanlai's shameless thoughts toward Xia Tianqiong and Feng Xiaoxiao, Ye Liuyun would not let him off any longer.

Nevertheless, he did uncover some useful information.

Feng Yuanlai spent his idle days gathering rumors within the family.

He not only knew the location of the Mineral Vein contested with the Cheng Clan, but also that the vein actually concealed some heavy treasures.

However, he didn't discover what those treasures were.

Ye Liuyun first absorbed his Soul, then passed the information on to Qiong Qi.

"I have just over ten days left, and I can make it there!"

After Qiong Qi received the news, it also replied to Ye Liuyun's message.

"Father should have reached the imperial capital by now!" Ye Liuyun estimated the time.

He now can hardly wait to contact his mother.

But father needs to meet his younger aunt, which also requires arrangement; it's not something one can just enter the Feng Clan.

After taking care of these matters, the avatar inside the Xuan Kong Shi also broke through its realm, advancing to the Fourth Level of Creation.

Ye Liuyun's main body's realm also naturally broke through.

However, after the breakthrough, only one-third of the Mysterious Origin remained in his core, due to the compression of Mysterious Origin caused by the breakthrough.

He then immediately took out the Storage Yuan Stone to absorb energy.

After he and his avatar broke through, the Mysterious Origin energy in the Storage Yuan Stone also needed to be reinjected; not using it would be waste.

Moreover, after Ye Liuyun finished absorbing, he began to continue compressing and refining the Mysterious Origin, and continued to absorb.

During that time, others also returned several times; seeing Ye Liuyun still cultivating, with no intention to leave, they went out again to train.

After Feng Xiaoxiao returned, seeing Feng Yuanlai's corpse, she couldn't help but feel strange.

Only after Ye Liuyun explained the events to him and also shared Feng Yuanlai's thoughts did Feng Xiaoxiao fully understand what kind of person Feng Yuanlai was.

"Thank you, Big Brother Ye! Otherwise I would have been terribly harmed by him!"

After hearing Ye Liuyun's account, Feng Xiaoxiao was also frightened and felt even more grateful to Ye Liuyun.

"Don't thank me! From now on, be more careful and don't easily trust others!"

Ye Liuyun reminded Feng Xiaoxiao, then continued to meditate with closed eyes.

He remained rather aloof toward Feng Xiaoxiao, not letting her get too close to him.
