Chapter 1201: Midway Interception

Xu Changqing finished speaking, and directly addressed Qiao Yulin: "I've already said everything that needs to be said; Sect Master Qiao, do you have any further instructions? If there's nothing, I should go back to rest! I'm old, even standing for a while makes me feel tired!"

Xu Changqing looked like an untrained elder, patting his own back, appearing frail and feeble.

Yet his gaze at Qiao Yulin was bright and spirited.

His eyes made Qiao Yulin feel a chill down his spine.

"Sect Master, we should retreat; it's not worth clashing with the Qian Long Academy! That Ye Liuyun won't stay in the Academy forever. When he emerges we can act, and the Qian Long Academy won't be able to say anything!"

An Elder, seeing this, immediately stepped in to smooth things over and comfort Qiao Yulin.

They can't defeat the Qian Long Academy. Withdrawing early is better than being driven away.

Staying here would only mean taking a loss and enduring humiliation, with no reward.

"Let's go!"

After being urged, Qiao Yulin found an out, and immediately ordered everyone to withdraw.

He was so angry he didn't even greet Xu Changqing.

Yet Xu Changqing sighed, "Alas, today's youngsters really don't know manners! Safe travels, Sect Master Qiao, I won't see you off!"

His voice rang clearly into everyone's ears.

These words became a sharp mockery in the hearts of everyone of the Mo Yun Sect.

Yet their strength was inferior, leaving them unable to rebut. So they held their breath in frustration, retreated thirty li beyond, blocked every crossroads, and waited for Ye Liuyun to appear.

The people of the Qian Long Academy also dispersed immediately.

The Director didn't even go to ask Ye Liuyun or Li Qingyun about anything, as if nothing had happened.

Li Qingyun patted Ye Liuyun: "The Academy was decent, right? Didn't let you down, huh?"

Ye Liuyun nodded repeatedly: "The Director is mighty and imposing!"

"Hahaha!" Li Qingyun heard that and laughed again.

Then he reminded Ye Liuyun: "Now it's your turn to shine! Quickly deal with those troubles. Although he retreated thirty li, it will still affect the Academy to some extent!"

"Alright! I'll handle it right away!"

The Academy backed Ye Liuyun, and of course Ye Liuyun couldn't cause trouble for the Academy.

He immediately returned to his residence, passed through the Black Tower, and arrived at the barracks.

At this moment, Qin Peng had already deployed the Demon Cultivator army, waiting for Ye Liuyun in the main tent.

As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived, he discussed with Qin Peng how to exterminate those Martial Cultivators of the Mo Yun Sect.

After some arrangements, Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng set out on separate actions.

Qiao Yulin, after leading his subordinates to retreat thirty li, settled down.

The others kept complaining that Xu Changqing was a smiling tiger, an old fox, and their anger hadn't faded.

Qiao Yulin also gave Xu Changqing a harsh scolding.

But after the outburst, everyone gradually calmed down.

After all, being weaker, they could only vent a few words. Next, they needed to find a way to retake the Secret Realm.

"This Ye Liuyun is no simple case!" an Elder who knew more about Ye Liuyun began to explain to everyone.

Many Elders only know how to bury themselves in cultivation and rarely pay attention to outside affairs. Now, hearing this Elder speak of Ye Liuyun's power and current situation, they all found it troublesome.

"If that's the case, we must not let Ye Liuyun leave the Qian Long Academy. Once he returns to his own territory, we'll have no way to handle him!" several Elders shared this view.

"But if he doesn't come out, shall we wait here forever? If his reinforcements arrive to support him, what shall we do?" another Elder raised this question.

"Unless we, like those Demon Cultivators, conduct a night raid on the Qian Long Academy! We can assemble a team of experts, with me leading, and snatch Ye Liuyun out under cover of night," Qiao Yulin suggested.

Among them, he was the most anxious. That Secret Realm had been lost from his grasp, so he was obviously the most eager to retrieve it.

"Impossible! This method is too dangerous!" an Elder immediately objected.

They debated for a long time, but ultimately could not devise a good solution. They could only maintain the status quo for now and continue discussing strategies.

However, just as they stopped discussing, they received a rescue request from the Sect.

"Sect Master, Ye Liuyun's Demon Cultivator army is attacking the Sect; we can't hold it!"

The Transmission Talisman carried an urgent rescue message from Elder Liushou of the Sect.

Most of the Mo Yun Sect's strong members had already been dispatched. Remaining in the Sect were only two Elders of Earth Sovereign rank and numerous Zao Hua Realm disciples.

The so‑called Demon Cultivator army actually numbered only five thousand.

But this Demon Cultivator army not only had excellent personal equipment, it also fielded thirty Super Warships.

Both Qin Peng and Ye Liuyun were willing to invest heavily in the army.

So when three or four Super Warships lined up, their momentum was evident.

And with these warships bombarding the Mo Yun Sect's mountain‑guard formation, they likely couldn't hold out long.

"Damn Ye Liuyun!" Qiao Yulin cursed, then began gathering troops to prepare a reinforcement.

"Sect Master, if we return now, we might fall into Ye Liuyun's 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' trap!" an Elder suggested.

"Nonsense! Do you think I don't know? But what can we do now? Are we to abandon the Sect just to sit here waiting for Ye Liuyun!" Qiao Yulin, in a fit of anger, even scolded his own people.

The others dared not speak up, and could only obey the orders.

Qiao Yulin gathered more than half of the defending troops and sent them back.

Guarding a single Ye Liuyun doesn't actually require that many people.

These ordered men rushed hurriedly toward the Teleportation Array. However, when they arrived, they found the Teleportation Array already shut down.

They were told the Teleportation Array was broken and needed repairs; to use it, they could only go to the neighboring city.

After consulting Qiao Yulin, these people boarded a Flying Boat and rushed to the neighboring city.

The Teleportation Arrays across Zhongyang Dalu are actually controlled by Ye Liuyun. With a single command from him, all the arrays can be shut down.

One can only say the Mo Yun Sect's understanding of Ye Liuyun is still insufficient.

On their way to the next city, these people encountered an ambush by the demon cultivator army.

Even some martial cultivators hadn't disembarked from the flying boat when, together with the entire flying boat, they were blasted to death by Ye Liuyun's super warship.

And here, they also saw the true Ye Liuyun and the few monster beasts beside him.

"How is this possible? Isn't Ye Liuyun supposed to be at Qian Long Academy?" an elder exclaimed.

But no one gave an answer; what awaited them were the killings by Lan Bing, Xuan Wu, and Huo Wu. As for those ordinary martial cultivators, Ye Liuyun handed them over to the demon cultivator soldiers for practice.
