Chapter 1395: A Rescue Strike

Seeing the masked Martial Cultivators about to catch up with Qu Wanying and the others, Ye Liuyun activated his Floating Sky Boots and hurried over.

He hadn't even gotten close when he immediately triggered his Golden Pupil, harvesting the souls of those masked men one by one, and also performed a Soul Search on the leader Martial Cultivator's soul.

"Huh?

Is the Xie family up to mischief again?

We really have fate!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that his casual intervention would again involve the Xie family.

The masked men's operation was actually led by Xie Tianhong's elder brother, Prince Consort Xie Tianqi, who, after failing to secretly recruit the Zhen Mountain King, tried to use Qu Wanying to coerce the King into compliance.

Qu Wanying and the others had already exhausted their True Essence and could barely move.

Just as they were preparing for a desperate last stand, they suddenly saw the masked men behind them collapsing to the ground with a thud, dying one after another.

Then Ye Liuyun tossed out a Kuailei, ordering it to retrieve those people's Storage Rings and corpses.

He no longer despises that these people have little resources.

There are still a thousand mouths waiting to be fed! Even a weapon, Hei can exchange for a mouthful of meat for the Demon Beasts.

At this point, Qu Wanying and the others realized it was Ye Liuyun who saved them.

The bearded Da Huzi, Fan Gang, upon seeing Ye Liuyun this time, immediately ran over, knelt on one knee before Ye Liuyun, startling him, and looked at him puzzled.

"Thank you, benefactor, for the rescue.

Previously it was my fault; I shouldn't have attacked you! If you're still angry, punish me! My princess is a good person; please help her!"

Fan Gang said to Ye Liuyun.

"Fan Gang…" Qu Wanying was also deeply moved by this bodyguard's actions.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Isn't that already helping!"

Speaking, he used Mysterious Origin to lift Fan Gang directly.

"The benefactor truly has a realm!"

Fan Gang chuckled.

"Thank you, benefactor, for the rescue!"

At this moment, Qu Wanying also came over with the others, thanking Ye Liuyun.

"No need to thank me; I'm in a good mood today, just found something nice, and happened to meet you—so it's fate, I guess!"

Ye Liuyun said calmly.

"We still have to thank them! There are still many masked people left.

We'll still need you later! Otherwise we can't protect the princess!"

Fan Gang said sincerely.

"Fan Gang, you should stop making things difficult for the young master!"

Although Qu Wanying knew her situation was difficult, she didn't want to rely on Ye Liuyun like this.

She also feared that Ye Liuyun would resent her, that Fan Gang might anger him, and then they would be turned on.

Ye Liuyun proactively asked them, "Do you know who these people are?"

Qu Wanying shook her head and guessed, "Someone must be trying to capture me to threaten my father!"

"Mm, your guess is correct!"

Ye Liuyun immediately relayed the information obtained from the Soul Search to them.

"Originally, I saved you once, which was already more than enough! However, now this matter also involves me, so you can follow me!"

Ye Liuyun said to them.

Hearing this, Fan Gang and several soldiers smiled.

Qu Wanying asked, "Since it's related to you, how should we address you, young master?"

Ye Liuyun didn't hide anything: "I am wanted, and it's because of the Xie family! My name is Ye Liuyun; perhaps you've heard of me!"

"The Xie family, Ye Liuyun?"

Qu Wanying recalled.

"Ah! That demon?"

Fan Gang thought for a moment, but being straightforward, he called it out directly.

The other soldiers also stepped back cautiously.

Qu Wanying wasn't scared; instead, she stepped forward.

"What's going on?

Tell me about it?"

This time, her personality was quite forthright.

"Let's talk as we go!"

So Ye Liuyun led them deeper into the Beast Mountain range, briefly explaining the events as they went.

The part about Snow City was completely skipped.

He feared someone was still keeping Snow City in mind.

He only mentioned that after the Snow Region, Xie Tianhong changed his demeanor, bringing up the Foreign Tribe issue, without saying they had found Snow City.

"The matter of the Foreign Tribe, I'm not clear on; perhaps my Father King knows something.

But you really are a Demon Cultivator?"

Qu Wanying asked directly.

"That's right, I am indeed a Demon Cultivator, and I also have many Demon Beasts."

Ye Liuyun also isn't afraid they know.

If they despise me for being a demon cultivator, they can just leave.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for being frank!"

Qu Wanying showed no contempt, but she certainly didn't fully believe Ye Liuyun's words.

As for the Foreign Tribe's affairs, she didn't know before, and it's beyond her comprehension.

So she needs to go ask her father to confirm whether what Ye Liuyun said is true or false.

Although she currently relies on Ye Liuyun to save her life, she remains unambiguous.

Ye Liuyun helping her, she will certainly be grateful.

But to have her stand united with Ye Liuyun, we must wait until she confirms whether what Ye Liuyun said is true or false.

Ye Liuyun originally didn't expect her to be able to help at all.

He merely told her some facts.

If she wants to believe, she can; if not, there's nothing he can do.

What he intends to do is to disrupt the Xie Family's plans and act opposite to them.

But since their group is now larger and their marching speed slower, the ferocious beasts that come to attack them naturally increase in number.

Ye Liuyun also didn't avoid them, having Liang Xue and the others put on the Exotic Scale Armor, conceal their faces, and come out to practice.

The ferocious beasts on this stretch of road are just right for them to practice on.

Ye Liuyun, however, dislikes that the ferocious beasts' realm is too low, and keeps staying behind the group with Qu Wanying and the others to watch the excitement.

"Young Master Ye, what is your purpose in coming to Beast Mountain?"

Qu Wanying asked.

"To avoid the wanted notice, and incidentally capture some ferocious beasts to prepare some helpers for myself!"

Ye Liuyun didn't hide anything from her at all.

"Then why do you still have your subordinates kill all the ferocious beasts?"

Qu Wanying asked, puzzled.

To them, ferocious beasts at the Earth Sovereign realm are already very powerful.

Ye Liuyun, however, said lightly: "These?

"Their realm is too low; they're useless!"

"... Alright, the world of experts, we really don't understand!"

Qu Wanying also sighed.

"If you're afraid it's unsafe, you can wait here for me to return!"

Ye Liuyun said.

"Forget it! If we wait here, we'll either be chased down by those people or eaten by the ferocious beasts here.

"It's safer to follow you!"

Qu Wanying also said frankly.

Ye Liuyun actually quite likes her straightforward personality.

Soon, Liang Xue and Ye Tiandao retreated to Ye Liuyun's side.

Here, the ferocious beasts' realm rises by one level every certain distance.

They had just reached the first level of the Sovereign Rank not long ago; if they go further ahead, they won't be able to handle it.

Ye Liuyun stored Liang Xue away, letting her go back to cultivate.

"Tiandao, go take care of those tails behind.

"Bring back the corpses and the Storage Rings!"

"Yes."

Ye Tiandao acknowledged and was about to go back.

"Wait, Young Master Ye, are those the masked people?"

Qu Wanying immediately asked.
