Chapter 1563: A Lucky Strike

Ye Liuyun and Tuoba Qi chatted while drinking, telling him about the experiences over the years and the improvement of the realm.

"It's really enviable to hear!"

Tuoba Qi listened to Ye Liuyun's extraordinary encounters, constantly feeling moved.

Afterwards, he again asked about Ye Liuyun's Death Mark.

"The Death Mark is still there; this time I was chased out by the Underworld God."

"But he's probably tired from chasing now, thinking of how to intercept me!"

Ye Liuyun also told the truth.

"Then your current strength, can you deal with the Underworld God?"

Tuoba Qi asked with concern.

Ye Liuyun slowly shook his head: "Not much hope; I can only rely on luck to win!"

"That would be too dangerous! If you keep staying here, could you rely on the formation to block him for a while?"

Tuoba Qi proposed using Yi Cheng's formation to assist Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately refused: "Yi Cheng's formation is not very effective against the Underworld God! It would only drag Yi Cheng down as well, which is unnecessary."

"I still think moving while hiding makes it harder for him to catch me!"

"Hmm, that's good; you can also keep cultivating and improving on the road!"

After thinking, Tuoba Qi also nodded in agreement.

"So you want to return to the Cangyun Continent?"

Tuoba Qi asked.

"Yeah! Taking this chance to go back and have a look, it's been a long time since I returned!"

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"But if you go like that, will the Underworld God set a trap for you in the Cangyun Continent?"

Tuoba Qi thought, he could guess that Ye Liuyun would return to the Cangyun Continent, so the Underworld God would surely guess as well.

"He definitely will."

"Even if not in the Cangyun Continent, he will set an ambush along the way."

Ye Liuyun also said firmly: "He won't chase me anymore, but instead hold his forces."

"That means, no matter where I go, he could set an ambush."

"There's nothing we can do; we can only adapt when the time comes!"

"Then we can only hope your strength improves quickly, so you can settle your grudge with him sooner!"

Tuoba Qi also sighed with emotion.

Ye Liuyun also said resentfully: "Yeah! It's because I obtained the Underworld's great treasure that he's chased me for so many years! I also hope to end it soon, otherwise I always feel like a blade hangs over my head."

"But cultivation isn't something you can speed up just by being anxious!"

Tuoba Qi also nodded: "Just let it wear on! Your cultivation speed is already fast enough! Come, let's have a drink, wishing you soon reach the level to oppose the Underworld God!"

"Thanks!"

Ye Liuyun raised his cup and clinked glasses with Tuoba Qi.

The two then chatted some more about the situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, after which Ye Liuyun bade farewell to Tuoba Qi and left.

After leaving the Chengzhu Fu, he followed the Divine Sense mark and found Liang Xue and others in a tavern.

"We've been followed!"

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, Liang Xue immediately said to him.

Tuoba Qi has managed the security here in perfect order.

Although these women are eye-catching when they go out, no one dares to cause trouble in the city.

But that doesn't mean they won't follow them out of the city.

Ye Liuyun swept with his Divine Sense and discovered someone monitoring outside the tavern.

These people's realms are not high; only a few are at the Yin Yang and Heavenly Gang realms of Martial Cultivators.

Judging by their attire, they should be bandits from around here.

"Let them follow; it's a good chance for you to practice."

Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"If it weren't for worrying about breaking the city's rules, we would have already attacked and driven them away."

"Their realms are too low for us, yet too high for A Xing."

"They're really somewhat like chicken ribs—useless."

Liang Xue said helplessly.

"Then we've all eaten our fill; shall we leave now?"

Lei Ming, on the other hand, couldn't wait to go move around.

She had been bored stiff in the Space World; even though these people's realms are low, she doesn't disdain them.

"That's fine."

"Up ahead in the Fog Sea there are Food Star Beasts; we can catch one to stockpile some blood."

Ye Liuyun also thought staying would be pointless; better to go out and move around.

So they all went straight out of the city.

After leaving the city, they didn't use a Flying Boat but walked on purpose, letting those people follow.

Those bandits, after riding the Flying Boat for a stretch, began to accelerate and chase after them.

"Lei Ming, you go—settle it quickly!"

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for them to approach, he had Lei Ming wipe them out so they wouldn't say anything disgusting and dirty everyone's ears.

Lei Ming, on the other hand, was very eager; he answered affirmatively and charged over.

Then came a thunderous boom.

Lei Ming found dealing with those small fry still easy.

But she didn't come back right away.

Ye Liuyun saw she was interrogating a Martial Cultivator, not knowing what she was asking, so he immediately led the crowd over, fearing Lei Ming had been deceived.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Liuyun asked Lei Ming.

"Their lair has lots of treasure!"

Lei Ming told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't bother with details; he directly sent his Soul rushing into that Martial Cultivator's Sea of Consciousness to perform a Soul Search.

But he suddenly discovered that the bandit's Soul also bore a death mark.

Only his death mark was much smaller in size and power than Ye Liuyun's.

"Controlled by someone from the Underworld?"

Ye Liuyun felt suspicious; after another Soul Search, he confirmed his suspicion.

Liang Xue saw Ye Liuyun's expression change and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Ye Liuyun then explained to everyone: "The Underworld God's minions set a trap here, using a death mark to control this Martial Cultivator, making them wait for me to come so as to lure me into the snare."

That bandit had his eye on us since we entered the city.

But before he could set the trap to deceive us, Lei Ming suddenly struck.

So he had no choice but to first deceive Lei Ming.

"It turns out he was trying to deceive me!"

Lei Ming lifted his leg to kick the bandit, but Ye Liuyun stopped him.

He smiled: "Since we already know their trap, we might as well make use of it."

"Oh?"

"Another act?"

Lei Ming, however, was quite interested.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then directly released his own aura to intimidate the bandit.

Then he asked the bandit: "I know you've been marked with a death sigil, so you must obey the Yin Souls of the Nether Realm."

"However, you can still choose: die now, or live a few more days?"

"I... certainly don't want to die!"

The bandit stammered.

"All right! If you don't want to die now, you must cooperate with me."

"Use your warship to take us to find those Yin Souls."

"We'll wipe out those Yin Souls, and you'll gain some extra time to live."

Ye Liuyun finished speaking, looked at the bandit, and waited for his reaction.

"I agree, I'll cooperate!"

Under Ye Liuyun's aura, the bandit dared not resist.

Thus Ye Liuyun had everyone put on armor to conceal their faces, and then he recalled A Xing into the Space World.

A Xing's realm is too low; he's not suited for this kind of battle.

Then Ye Liuyun boarded the bandit's flying boat and headed toward the place they had previously set an ambush.
