Chapter 1225: Repaying Kindness

Yun Mengyi was already frightened into helplessness by the suddenly emerging Magic Vine.

Now the Magic Vine, even Martial Cultivators of the Earth Sovereign realm, cannot injure its vines; when struck, it feels no pain or itch.

Even a Tianzun Realm strongman who cuts the vines will see them instantly regrow.

Therefore Yun Mengyi's attacks have absolutely no effect in hindering the Magic Vine.

Just as the vines opened a huge mouth to devour Yun Mengyi, a sudden command from Ye Liuyun made them retreat immediately.

Ye Liuyun also thought that without Yun Mengyi, he wouldn't have been able to rescue the people so smoothly.

One must know gratitude and repay it. Especially Yun Mengyi, who harbors a different feeling toward him. Although Ye Liuyun cannot fulfill her, not killing her is still a convenient act.

At this moment, Yun Mengyi finally dared to open her eyes, realized she was still alive, and immediately recognized that Ye Liuyun had saved her.

Because aside from her, the Magic Vine spared no one.

Vines kept sprouting from the ground, seeking to entangle and devour each Martial Cultivator one by one.

Some Martial Cultivators have already become dry corpses.

Only a few Tianzun Realm strongmen are still barely holding on, fighting the Magic Vine.

But with an Evil Dragon above and the Magic Vine below, they fight in a terribly chaotic manner.

Yun Tianhao muttered regretfully to himself: "I didn't expect this vine monster to be so strong. And the Evil Dragon is also that huge! Are there that many monsters in that world?"

But now it's too late to regret. Ye Liuyun had already given him a chance, which he didn't cherish, so now he can only stand firm.

He now only thinks about buying time, trying to find a way to get his own daughter out of the Magic Vine's attack range.

However, when his Divine Sense located Yun Mengyi, he discovered that the Magic Vine does not attack her at all.

Even the places she walks through, the Magic Vine actively steps aside.

Yun Mengyi knows Ye Liuyun is looking after him, but her own father cannot be left unsaved. So Yun Mengyi now walks toward Yun Tianhao.

The Magic Vine automatically yields a path for her, allowing her to pass freely.

When Yun Mengyi reaches Yun Tianhao's side, the Magic Vine has no choice but to cease its attack, lest it accidentally harm her.

But to prevent Yun Tianhao and the others from escaping, the Magic Vine's vines swell wildly, linking above their heads to form a cage that imprisons them inside.

Ye Liuyun immediately gathers the Evil Dragon and the people around him, moves to the Secret Realm's entrance, ready to depart at any moment.

"Young Master Ye, I beg you, spare my father and the remaining people!" Yun Mengyi, seeing Ye Liuyun about to leave, couldn't hide that she knows him and shouted anxiously.

She is already repulsed by such rampant slaughter. Moreover, the dead are people she knows, so she despises it even more.

"That fool! You just said it yourself; what will you do later?" Ye Liuyun muttered under his breath.

Yun Mengyi's words also left Yun Tianhao and the group of Elders utterly astonished.

They never expected that Yun Mengyi actually knows this outsider.

"Mengyi, what's happening?" Yun Tianhao asked his daughter.

Yun Mengyi gave no explanation, but stared resolutely toward Ye Liuyun's direction.

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice asking, "Your single sentence has exposed that you know me. What will you do from now on?"

"Will you take me away?" Yun Mengyi asked again.

"No!" Ye Liuyun's reply was decisive and concise.

"If that's the case, then you needn't worry about the future. I just don't want to see anyone bleeding and dying!"

Yun Mengyi was very disappointed, but rescuing people was urgent, so she still had to get them out first.

After thinking it over, Ye Liuyun said, "Fine. You and your father step out first; I have something to tell you!"

The Magic Vine also opened a gap, allowing the father and son to emerge, after which the cage sealed by the Magic Vine closed again.

Ye Liuyun, seeing the father and son out, noted that the others were still within the Magic Vine's control without omission, and immediately gave the Magic Vine an order.

"Kill!"

The Magic Vine acted at once, beginning to strangle the other Martial Cultivators.

"No! Didn't you just promise me?" Yun Mengyi, seeing this, hurriedly shouted to stop, intending to rush over and argue with Ye Liuyun.

Before Ye Liuyun could speak, Yun Tianhao first pulled Yun Mengyi back.

"He does this for your good!" Yun Tianhao said, then bowed his hand to Ye Liuyun in thanks.

Yun Tianhao's words were correct; Ye Liuyun's actions were entirely to help Yun Mengyi cut off future trouble.

He knows that if he doesn't feign agreement with Yun Mengyi, she would never come out first.

And Yun Tianhao, as Yun Mengyi's father, naturally cannot be killed by Ye Liuyun.

But the others must be killed. Otherwise, they would return and cause trouble for Yun Mengyi and Yun Tianhao.

With so many dead, someone must bear responsibility. And Yun Mengyi becomes the best target for these people. Even Yun Tianhao could be implicated and lose his Clan Chief position.

Ye Liuyun, seeing Yun Tianhao understand this reasoning, nodded at him and said nothing further.

Yun Mengyi, with tears, watched her familiar people being strangled and drained by the Magic Vine one by one. Had it not been for Yun Tianhao pulling her back, she would have rushed to rescue them.

When the Magic Vine had drained all the other Martial Cultivators present, Ye Liuyun finally retracted it.

At the same time, regardless of Yun Mengyi's consent, he transmitted through Divine Sense the method of signing a Divine Soul Contract and planting a Slave Seal to her.

"Take care!"

Ye Liuyun only said those two words, then vanished directly from the Secret Realm's entrance, returning to the Center Continent.

Yun Mengyi, lost and despondent, stared at the spot where Ye Liuyun vanished, unsure whether to hate him or miss him.

Ye Liuyun's appearance impacted Yun Mengyi so greatly that she instantly matured a lot and witnessed the ruthless cruelty of the martial world.

She felt momentarily confused. Everything before her seemed like a dream.

Yun Tianhao, seeing his daughter's expression, seemed to guess something.

"Forget him; you are not from the same world!"

After speaking, he also helped Yun Mengyi pull herself together, taught her a set of explanations to handle others' questions later, and also explained why Ye Liuyun wanted to clear everyone out.

She listened to and remembered what Yun Tianhao said to her, but her expression hardly changed.

Yun Tianhao wanted to ask her how she had met Ye Liuyun, but seeing her state, he didn't ask. Anyway, things had come to this; even if he knew the reason, it wouldn't help.

Their Yun Clan suffered heavy losses this time; they must reallocate manpower, summon Martial Cultivators, and there are still many matters for him to handle.
