Chapter 1559: Reappearance

The spot where Ye Liuyun was teleported by the Black Tower is right near the entrance of the Secret Realm he left from.

The only thing is, that Secret Realm entrance is no longer here; its whereabouts are unknown.

The first thing he does is sense the location of the Underworld God.

The Underworld God also immediately sensed Ye Liuyun's reappearance.

"Back so quickly?"

The Underworld God still feels a bit curious.

He has only just returned to the Nether Realm and hasn't rushed to chase Ye Liuyun; instead, he wants to see which direction he will go.

Since Ye Liuyun cannot sense the Underworld God's location and knows he is not nearby, he relaxes and uses a Transmission Talisman to contact Wu Qingcheng and other family and friends, reporting his safety to ease their minds.

Everyone had been worrying about him during this time; upon learning he is safe, they also put their minds at ease.

Zhuge Feiyu also briefed Ye Liuyun on the changes among the major powers.

"Emperor Xia is preparing to abdicate; the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are vying for the throne.

The Cheng Clan's strength has recovered considerably.

Although the Feng Clan hasn't expanded, it places great emphasis on cultivating the younger generation…"

Ye Liuyun got a general understanding, saw no major changes, and still decided to continue hurrying toward the Cangyun Continent.

He also takes the chance along the way to advance his realm.

So, he still follows his original route, first rushing to the Lingxiao Sect in the Five Sun Domain, hoping to see his two masters, Song Yan and Qian Feng.

"Is this kid trying to return to the Cangyun Continent?"

The Underworld God, seeing Ye Liuyun's direction of travel, is uncertain whether to pursue him further.

The last time he dispatched Yin Souls to coordinate a trap on Ye Liuyun, they were still roaming the area where Ye Liuyun vanished.

This time, the Underworld God has them lie in ambush at the spot where Ye Liuyun just appeared, waiting for his reappearance.

Then he arranged several squads of Yin Souls, riding Nether Realm Warships, to chase Ye Liuyun; if Ye Liuyun disappears via a Teleportation Array, they record the coordinates, lie in wait there, and strike him head‑on when he reappears.

The Underworld God himself stays inside the Nether Hell, waiting for Ye Liuyun to come to the door.

He has become smarter now, no longer trailing Ye Liuyun everywhere; he knows that a single pursuer cannot match his formations' speed.

So he begins sending Yin Souls to guard each spot where Ye Liuyun teleports, ambushing him there.

Ye Liuyun also knows that he holds a heavy treasure of the Underworld, and the Underworld God certainly will not give up.

The reason he hasn't chased him immediately is probably that he is devising ways to deal with him.

Thus, every half‑month of sailing, he records the coordinates.

Until he kills the Underworld God, he will not teleport back to Zhongyang Dalu, and must rely on these short‑range coordinates to contend with the Underworld God.

His Flying Boat's speed is far faster than when he traveled to Zhongyang Dalu.

In less than three months, he arrived at the Lingxiao Sect in the Five Sun Domain.

Returning to the Lingxiao Sect again, Ye Liuyun feels somewhat excited and rushes impatiently toward the mountain gate.

The gate‑keeping disciple does not recognize Ye Liuyun and stops him.

Ye Liuyun immediately shows his Token, after which the gate‑keeping disciple, still skeptical, leads him inside, with a disciple trailing him the whole way.

Until he reaches the back mountain and sees Qian Feng still staring at a chessboard, respectfully calling him 'Master', the disciple then steps back in surprise.

"Haha! It's you, kid!"

Qian Feng, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, is first startled, then bursts into a happy laugh, pulling Ye Liuyun to look around left and right.

"Why did you come back?

To see us two old men?"

He asked Ye Liuyun.

"Yes! I, your disciple, miss the two masters very much!"

Ye Liuyun admitted.

"Haha, you little one have a conscience; fine, let's go find that old guy Song Yan!"

Qian Feng drags Ye Liuyun away.

"What realm are you at now, kid?

Even I can't tell.

Could it be that you've actually surpassed me?"

Qian Feng excitedly chatters nonstop along the way.

"I am now at the Third Layer Realm of Qiankun!"

Ye Liuyun says truthfully.

"Oh, Qiankun… what?

Qiankun realm?"

At first Qian Feng didn't pay attention, but after he realized, he was greatly shocked.

"Try hitting me with a palm!"

Qian Feng is already so shocked he can't speak coherently.

If Ye Liuyun truly struck him with a palm now, it could kill him outright.

So Ye Liuyun dares not act on his request, merely explains, "Um… I wouldn't dare deceive you, Master!"

Qian Feng pauses, then finally realizes that Ye Liuyun is no longer the disciple of the Yin-Yang Realm.

If he truly is at the Qiankun realm, he couldn't withstand Ye Liuyun's palm.

"Hahaha, you're looking at me, old fool!"

He laughs, pulls Ye Liuyun, and shouts toward Song Yan's residence from afar.

Song Yan, you old immortal, hurry up and come out—see who's here!

Qian Feng, you old thing, I was cultivating, and you interrupted me!

Elder Song Yan's angry scolding came from the room.

A figure rushed out as well—it was Elder Song Yan, his face full of anger.

Ye Liuyun immediately stepped forward and bowed, calling out "Master!"

The anger on Song Yan's face instantly vanished.

Haha, my good disciple has returned! Come quickly, let me take a look!

Song Yan also burst into laughter.

It's clear that these two elders truly like this disciple, Ye Liuyun.

What, your disciple? This is my disciple!

Qian Feng again started arguing with Song Yan.

Seeing as my disciple has returned and I'm happy, I can't be bothered to quarrel with you!

Song Yan said, pulling Ye Liuyun as he walked into the house, without greeting Qian Feng.

Qian Feng wasn't polite either, and just followed him inside.

Old man Song Yan, guess what realm my disciple is at now!

Qian Feng asked mysteriously.

Only then did Song Yan think to size up Ye Liuyun's realm, but he couldn't tell.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for him to ask, and proactively said, "Disciple is now at the Third Layer of the Heaven and Earth Realm!"

What?

Heaven and Earth Realm?

Have you reached Heavenly Venerable?

Song Yan was just as shocked as Qian Feng.

But he was far calmer than Qian Feng, and didn't let Ye Liuyun try to strike him with a palm.

Tell us, how did you cultivate?

What have you experienced all these years?

Elder Song Yan asked.

Thus, Ye Liuyun began to narrate.

The two old men, like listening to a story, listened with great enthusiasm.

For some matters, Ye Liuyun only gave a rough outline, but they probed to the bottom.

So Ye Liuyun talked for a long time, but still hadn't finished.

His experiences during this period simply couldn't be summed up in a sentence or two.

This only took even more time.

Ye Liuyun, while speaking, also took out the evil dragon meat to roast for the two masters to let them taste.

Both said it was delicious.

Ye Liuyun then stored it with his storage ring, giving each of them one.

That big?

Where did it come from?

Qian Feng became curious again.
