Chapter 1603: Absolute Trust

Ye Liuyun heard Fan Lie framing him, and instead he laughed.

"Such a flimsy excuse, and you could even think of it? There are indeed traitors, but who they are, you know in your heart!"

"What do you mean? You're saying I'm a traitor?" Fan Lie called out sensitively.

Then he immediately issued a command: "Fine, you not only bully our Hall Master, but also dare frame me! Members of the Piao Yun Hall, obey, and together kill this kid!"

For a moment, some disciples tightened their weapons, others looked at Piao Yun, awaiting her opinion. Basically, except for the two trusted subordinates beside Fan Lie, no one moved.

"What are you afraid of? Even if he's strong, he's not a match for all of us!" Fan Lie continued to rally.

However, no matter how Fan Lie and his two subordinates rallied, Piao Yun stayed silent, and no one acted.

The disciples also noticed Piao Yun's gaze at Fan Lie was off, and muttered, "Could Fan Lie really be a traitor?"

Fan Lie, seeing this, also realized Piao Yun had believed Ye Liuyun's words and no longer trusted him.

But he didn't care. After today's battle, he could no longer stay in Iron Eagle Sect. Otherwise, when Jing Wudi investigates later, his cover would eventually be blown.

"Hall Master, say something!" Fan Lie again began urging Piao Yun.

Piao Yun glanced at Ye Liuyun, seeking his opinion.

"First, face the enemy; other matters can wait until it's over," Ye Liuyun told Piao Yun.

"Face the enemy? Ha ha!" Fan Lie was determined to oppose Ye Liuyun, trying to push him away as much as possible.

He exaggeratedly said, "Do you think a single you can defeat the Dark Night Demon Hall?"

"You mean, even with me, we're still not a match for the Dark Night Demon Hall?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Hmph, you think you're strong?" Fan Lie said disdainfully.

"Then how do you know the Dark Night Demon Hall is strong?" Ye Liuyun asked back.

The crowd, hearing this, looked at Fan Lie in confusion.

Fan Lie also knew he couldn't continue; if he did, his cover would be exposed immediately.

At that moment, the Leader of the Dark Night Demon Hall opposite directly ordered everyone to commence the attack.

He saw Fan Lie's tactics failing and Ye Liuyun himself too strong, so he wanted to launch a group battle quickly, draining the Iron Eagle Sect members as much as possible.

Shouts and battle cries from all directions suddenly rang out, startling the Iron Eagle Sect members.

"Gather the personnel!"

Ye Liuyun immediately informed Piao Yun.

Piao Yun likewise acted at once, took out a Transmission Talisman, and notified the pre‑placed ambushers to converge here.

Piao Yun had absolute trust in Ye Liuyun.

This time Fan Lie did not block Piao Yun. Because the more they gathered, the easier it was for the Dark Night Demon Hall to surround them.

Another Hall Master raised a question to Piao Yun. But Piao Yun firmly told him, "Trust me, it's fine!"

Seeing Piao Yun's confidence, that Hall Master ceased opposing.

Thus the Iron Eagle Sect disciples all gathered here, and the Dark Night Demon Hall forces completely encircled them in the middle.

"You've put everyone in a death trap; what will you do now? If you ask me, you're already defected to the Dark Night Demon Hall, deliberately harming us!" Fan Lie began inciting again.

The crowd, clueless about the situation, stared bewildered at the two of them, unable to figure out what was happening.

Piao Yun also didn't know what Ye Liuyun intended, so she couldn't explain, merely following his orders.

Fan Lie also saw that Piao Yun was issuing commands per Ye Liuyun's instructions, so he kept deceiving the crowd: "Brothers, I think our Hall Master has been beguiled by this pretty face; we can no longer obey his orders!"

"Fan Lie, I'd advise you to shut your mouth! Do you intend to publicly deceive everyone into betraying the Hall Master?" At this point, an Elder could no longer hold back and spoke up.

"Did I say something wrong? If the Hall Master wasn't deceived, why let the enemy completely surround us? Please give us an explanation!" Fan Lie asked Piao Yun.

He realized Piao Yun also didn't understand Ye Liuyun's intent, so he asked on purpose.

"Is that Iron Eagle Sect rule that the Hall Master must explain to the Deputy Hall Master?" Ye Liuyun suddenly interjected.

At the same time, his pressure aura burst forth, restraining the Iron Eagle Sect members, preventing them from moving recklessly and avoiding accidental Demon Beast injury.

Of course, he also gave special consideration to Fan Lie. Fan Lie was crushed by the Tianzun Realm pressure aura, falling to the ground spitting blood, unable to speak.

He had already surveyed the surroundings; the Dark Night Demon Hall forces had surrounded them, ready to unleash Demon Beasts.

Then he flew directly above the crowd and released two thousand Demon Beasts.

"Go hunt for food!"

After speaking, the spear in his hand flew straight toward the Leader of the Dark Night Demon Hall.

"Puff!"

The spear, swift and powerful, instantly pierced the leader's body from the void, pinning him firmly to the ground.

The Dark Night Demon Hall immediately fell leaderless, and with the Demon Beasts' inner and outer assaults, wails rose everywhere.

Ye Liuyun also commanded the Demon Beasts, directing half to focus on encircling and pursuing the fleeing, to annihilate the Dark Night Demon Hall's Martial Cultivators completely.

Afterwards, he unleashed Ye Tiandao in a sweeping formation to aid the Demon Beasts in slaying several Dark Night Demon Hall elites, then ceased to concern himself with the beasts' combat.

Most of those two thousand Demon Beasts had already approached the Heavenly Gang Realm, and ordinary Dark Night Demon Hall Martial Cultivators were no match. Moreover, with Ye Tiandao present, Ye Liuyun had nothing to worry about.

He immediately performed Soul Search on Fan Lie, confirming that he and his two subordinates were traitors, having prematurely exposed Piao Yun's deployment.

He seized one of Fan Lie's subordinates and asked, "Tell me how you betrayed the Iron Eagle Sect."

The moment Ye Liuyun first released the Demon Beasts, everyone except Piao Yun thought Ye Liuyun was allied with the Dark Night Demon Hall; they were fooled.

But when they saw the Demon Beasts attacking the Dark Night Demon Hall members, and Ye Liuyun pinning the leader with a single spear, they finally relaxed.

Now, hearing Ye Liuyun speak of Fan Lie and others betraying the Iron Eagle Sect, they believed it about seventy‑eight percent.

If no one had leaked the information, how could the Dark Night Demon Hall have prepared so many people in advance to ambush them?

The subordinate captured by Ye Liuyun still tried to play dumb. He also knew that even if he confessed, it would be death!

"What betrayal? I have no idea what you're talking about! You bring so many Demon Beasts; I think you're the traitor!" He even bit back at Ye Liuyun.

"Heh, wrong answer!" Ye Liuyun immediately applied poison, causing him to howl in agony as his flesh turned black and rotted.

Moreover, it was extraordinarily itchy; as soon as he scratched himself, a large piece of flesh and blood came off.
