Chapter 1612: One Palm Slays

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, thinking to himself: "This Sea God is truly something. Whether to kill these people depends on a single thought of mine. Yet he acts very magnanimous. If I act again, it would make me look petty!"

So he ordered Lei Ming and Long Nv to go directly and seize the Treasure Vault of the Sea God Temple.

The head of the Sea God Temple, after receiving the Sea God's Transmission Voice, realized that even the Sea God could not offend Ye Liuyun.

In despair, they no longer dared to block Ye Liuyun, merely ordering everyone to stay put and not act.

Ye Liuyun and his group seized the resources, then ceased the slaughter and boarded the Nether Ghost Ship to leave the Sea God Temple.

Although the Sea God Temple had been half destroyed, it managed to survive and became the foremost ruler of the sea region.

The other few factions were completely wiped out by Ye Liuyun's ferocious beasts.

Across the sea, several swaths of water were stained red with blood.

On the way back, after inspecting the Sea God's trident, Ye Liuyun tossed it to Long Nv: "Input your Divine Sense to let it recognize its master! This is a fine weapon, far better than ordinary Divine Rank weapons."

"Then you keep it?" Long Nv asked, wanting to give it to Ye Liuyun.

"You know I use a blade!" Ye Liuyun said, not taking it. He thought Long Nv was more suited to using the Sea God's items.

"If you give it to you, then keep it!" Lei Ming also urged Long Nv.

Long Nv finally accepted it and, following Ye Liuyun's instructions, input a strand of Divine Sense.

After inputting the Divine Sense, Long Nv suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "There's also a combat method for using this trident!"

"Hmm! That means the trident acknowledges you!" Ye Liuyun nodded, saying: "The Sea God is indeed generous, even providing a matching technique!"

"Why is he so generous?" Lei Ming asked, puzzled.

"Even if he didn't give it, he'd have to, so might as well be generous!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

Then he explained to everyone the Sea God's brilliance.

"If I destroy his Divine Sense, I could still obtain these items, and it would wipe out his descendants. He merely presented the items in advance, thus averting a huge loss."

"Without the trident, merely keeping the trident technique is useless; better to see the favor through to the end. In the future, when you deal with others outside, you should learn from such scheming people!"

Ye Liuyun added: "After the other factions are eliminated, the Sea God Temple stands alone and can unify the sea region. Tell me, is this deal worthwhile?"

Only then did everyone understand and praised the Sea God's wisdom.

Not long after, the ferocious beasts gradually returned.

Ye Liuyun was tallying the numbers when Iron Army suddenly leapt up, excitedly telling Ye Liuyun, "Hao Chengfeng says three members of the Night Demon Sect came to the sect to find you, and even killed an Elder and disciples!"

"Tell him we'll be back immediately."

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the Night Demon Sect members to arrive so quickly. He had intended to go to the Night Demon Sect after leaving.

Needless to ask, the Night Demon Sect members surely came because of Lin Feier and Mo Ya.

He immediately pulled everyone into the Space World and used the Transmission Black Tower to rush back to the Sacred Martial Academy.

An Elder of the Night Demon Sect and two disciples were also pursuing Ye Liuyun without pause.

After arriving at Cangyun Continent, they headed straight for the Iron Eagle Sect.

Jing Wudi immediately told them Ye Liuyun's whereabouts so they wouldn't harm the Iron Eagle Sect's followers. He said let Ye Liuyun deal with them.

They chased after them directly, but they didn't expect the Sacred Martial Academy people to be so hard to deal with.

They killed several Elders and disciples, yet no one revealed Ye Liuyun's location. Moreover, the Sacred Martial Academy shares a common hatred; if he presses further, they'd launch a counterattack.

At that point he and the two disciples would be surrounded. He himself wasn't worried, but he feared the two disciples might get into trouble.

While he hesitated whether to act again, Hao Chengfeng received a reply from the Iron Army and suddenly stepped forward, saying, "Ye Liuyun is rushing back from the Eastern Sea. If you want to wait, wait outside the academy; if you keep slaughtering innocents, we can at most be dead fish in a broken net!"

He assumed Ye Liuyun's 'coming back immediately' meant he would dash back from the Eastern Sea right away.

Even with Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat at top speed, it would take at least half a day.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't hesitate to use the Transmission Black Tower. He didn't want anyone to die because of him, so even at the cost of resources, he was willing.

He certainly intended to reclaim those resources from the Night Demon Sect.

The coordinates of the Sacred Martial Academy, Ye Clan, and Iron Eagle Sect were already recorded by Ye Liuyun in the Black Tower.

With the Underworld God's death, many previously recorded coordinates could be erased, freeing space for Ye Liuyun to log important ones.

"You intend to trick me into leaving temporarily, awaiting reinforcements?" the Night Demon Sect Elder asked Hao Chengfeng suspiciously.

Hao Chengfeng raised the Transmission Talisman and said to the Elder, "I just finished communicating with Ye Liuyun; believe it or not."

"If you dare deceive me…" the Elder began to threaten Hao Chengfeng when a powerful aura suddenly pressed down from nowhere.

"A Martial Cultivator with a Yin-Yang Mirror dares to track me? Who gave the Night Demon Sect such boldness!"

Ye Liuyun's voice suddenly rang from within the academy, and he himself rushed from the Grand Elder's residence.

"You… you are… Ye Liuyun? You… what… realm?" the Night Demon Sect Elder stammered, forced by Ye Liuyun's oppressive pressure.

When Ye Liuyun flew close to them, he could no longer utter a word.

Ye Liuyun looked at the three Elders and over ten disciples lying on the ground, his anger blazing!

"While I was away, you dared to attack the Sacred Martial Academy! You and your Night Demon Sect will pay for this!"

Ye Liuyun said, and with a single palm he struck the Elder and the two disciples.

His palm, a reversal of Heaven and Earth, was unleashed in fury, containing all his strength and a massive amount of Heaven and Earth power.

It was like a huge black‑gold millstone descending from nowhere, turning the sky a different hue.

The palm's might, not only overwhelmed the Night Demon Sect Elders and disciples within its radius, but also forced the Sacred Martial Academy disciples behind Ye Liuyun to collapse, spitting blood.

Ye Liuyun immediately realized he had overexerted himself and quickly shielded them.

The Night Demon Sect Elder and disciples, before Ye Liuyun's palm even touched down, were already crushed, their seven orifices bleeding to death.

"Boom—" a deafening crash.

When the palm struck, the academy's gate vanished entirely, leaving a massive circular pit where it once stood.

It was as if a mountain had once stood there, now uprooted completely.

The bodies of the Elder and disciples had long been pulverized, reduced to dust.

After the dust and smoke had cleared, the entire venue remained silent for a long time.
