Chapter 1222: Not Taken Away

Ye Liuyun sensed her emotional fluctuations and first had to comfort her.

Once you see more, you'll understand the cruelty of the martial world! There's fundamentally no right or wrong, good or evil—it's entirely about the perspective you judge from!

Ye Liuyun didn't know how much she could understand of these words.

But since he can't see her now, he can only say these things to comfort her a bit.

"I'll help you save people!" Yun Mengyi, although she still doesn't understand much now, definitely wants to help rescue those demon cultivators.

Now it's not just for Ye Liuyun; it's also because she can't bear it in her heart.

Next, Yun Mengyi transmitted all the information to Ye Liuyun, letting him help devise a rescue plan.

Yun Mengyi's rescue is simple; the difficulty lies in how to escape afterward and how to hand those demon cultivators over to Ye Liuyun.

"Or, after I rescue the people, I'll take you to see your world?" Yun Mengyi asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't answer that question; instead he asked her, "Will your Yun Clan's formation detect me if I sneak in invisibly?"

Now that Yun Mengxiong is gone, Ye Liuyun doesn't need to worry about being discovered; he just needs to guard against the formation.

"The outer formation is fine; as long as you don't enter important places, you won't be detected. You also can't go into the prison." Yun Mengyi replied.

"Then it's simple! I'll first enter the Yun Clan, give you a storage ring that can hold living people, you'll collect those demon cultivators inside, then hand it to me; after that you don't need to worry. I'll draw the Yun Clan's attention so no one suspects you."

Ye Liuyun told Yun Mengyi.

"Okay! Then after you rescue the people, how will I meet you?" Yun Mengyi asked.

"Why would I still need to see you?" Ye Liuyun thought, but didn't ask.

"When it's safe, we'll contact again!" Ye Liuyun replied offhand.

"Good!" Yun Mengyi readily agreed.

Thus, Ye Liuyun donned the invisibility cloak and entered the Yun Clan again.

After meeting with Yun Mengyi, he gave her a storage ring, then let her enter the prison holding the demon cultivators and load the people into the ring to bring them out.

The prison had guards, but they weren't strong. However, the formation could detect Ye Liuyun. So Ye Liuyun waited for Yun Mengyi to load the people into the storage ring; after the guards noticed her movements, he used a spiritual soul attack to eliminate them one by one.

"Why kill them?" Yun Mengyi didn't expect Ye Liuyun to kill the guards. After coming out, she began questioning him.

If you don't kill them to silence them, the Yun Clan will suspect you.

Ye Liuyun reached out and snatched the storage ring from Yun Mengyi's hand. Using his divine sense to check, he found many people inside, then turned and left.

"Hurry back to your residence; no matter what happens, don't come out." Ye Liuyun instructed Yun Mengyi.

Yun Mengyi was quite dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun's actions, but now that things have come to this, although she feels guilty, she can't undo it.

So she stomped her foot in anger and ran straight back to her residence.

Ye Liuyun saw her go far away, then turned and rushed toward Yun Tianran's residence.

The Yun Clan's formation can detect outsiders entering the residences of elders and important disciples.

Thus, as soon as Ye Liuyun entered Yun Tianran's residence, the formation detected him.

Ye Liuyun also sent out a clone, dressed as a demon cultivator, who directly killed an approaching servant, thereby exposing the demon cultivators' identity.

Afterwards, he retracted the clone, used the invisibility cloak again, and slipped out of the Yun Clan.

This way, Ye Liuyun estimated that Yun Tianran couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, and it wouldn't raise suspicion on Yun Mengyi.

After leaving the Yun Clan, Ye Liuyun didn't rush to leave the secret realm.

He first found a dwelling far from the Yun Clan, released those demon cultivators, inquired about the situation, and treated their wounds.

Only then did he learn that the Yun Clan mainly interrogated them about demon cultivator techniques and the secret realm's entrances and exits.

"Why don't you just tell them directly?" Ye Liuyun also wondered why they were tortured.

An elder with a bitter face said, "It's not that we won't tell them; they themselves can't leave the secret realm. We even personally took them to the entrances and exits before. The formation there rejects them, so they can't get out."

"In other words, we can come and go freely, but they can't?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Yes!" another elder replied.

"Sect Master, we should leave quickly! They know the location of the secret realm's entrances and exits; they might ambush us there!" a disciple reminded Ye Liuyun.

"No rush, heal your wounds first. Since we're here, let's gather as many resources as possible to bring back!"

After Ye Liuyun rescued those demon cultivators, he also completely set his mind at ease.

Although the martial cultivators here are strong, it's not easy to keep him here.

He intends to take advantage of the Yun Clan's focus on guarding the secret realm's entrances and exits to obtain a few more mineral veins to bring back.

Otherwise, these people would have suffered for nothing!

Seeing Ye Liuyun's confidence, everyone stopped arguing; he collected them into the space world to recover. For those seriously injured, Ye Liuyun also gave them some life spring water to help heal their wounds.

Ye Liuyun himself also let go completely, searching everywhere for mineral veins, using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique and divination board.

"Where are you? Will you take me with you?" One day, a message from Yun Mengyi suddenly arrived.

"Our contract is actually already over. You should understand we're not from the same world." Ye Liuyun, unable to bear disappearing after every explanation, thus replied to Yun Mengyi.

"Actually I want to go with you, not just because you have that time secret realm! I dislike this environment!" Yun Mengyi explained to Ye Liuyun.

"I understand that too. But you were born in this world; you can only adapt. Constantly escaping is useless. If you can't adapt here, changing environments won't help. You shouldn't make the environment adapt to you; you must adapt to the environment."

Ye Liuyun lectured her on the reasoning.

Yun Mengyi fell silent for a moment, then told Ye Liuyun, "Our clan has placed martial cultivators and formations at the secret realm's entrances and exits; be careful!"

Actually she hesitated, wondering whether to leak the clan's deployment information to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had killed several prison guards last time; she already felt very guilty.

But out of fondness for Ye Liuyun, she finally couldn't hold back and said it.

"I'll be careful, thank you!" Ye Liuyun felt grateful inside, but ultimately decided not to take her with him.

Just as he said himself. Even if he took Yun Mengyi away, it would only be helping her escape; ultimately she still needs to face the problem herself and adapt to the martial world.
