Chapter 1615: Battle‑Readiness State

"His goal was achieved, so he despises fighting us!" In the end, Xiao Mingyue analyzed why Ye Liuyun didn't engage them.

"Just like he let me go before, he simply doesn't bother to kill me!" Xiao Mingyue sighed inwardly.

This boy has now grown to a height beyond her reach.

She already knew then that Ye Liuyun was not someone she could defeat. Now it's even more so!

Xiao Mingyue guessed correctly: Ye Liuyun now simply doesn't bother to fight them. Their cultivation level is too low; fighting them gives Ye Liuyun no sense of achievement.

Their resources might still be useful to Iron Army and the like, but he simply looks down on them.

So for any matter that could be settled with a few words, he doesn't wish to take action.

Now Ye Liuyun's wish to return to Cangyun Continent is fulfilled, the tasks are nearly done, and he should leave here.

His family still doesn't know he has already killed the Underworld God, and they are still worrying about him!

The Ice and Fire Sect never ventured onto Cangyun Continent, so Ye Liuyun didn't need to go. With the Night Demon Sect incident, no sect would dare raid Cangyun Continent for resources.

After leaving Sanyuan Sect, Ye Liuyun gathered everyone into the Space World and directly used the Black Tower teleportation to rush back to Moyu.

However, when he teleported back to the Moyu City Lord's Residence, once his Divine Sense was released, he found Yi Cheng had already entered a high state of battle readiness.

"What's going on?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously, scanning the city's situation.

Zhuge Feiyu led everyone in a council in the Grand Hall, with Wu Qingcheng, Su Miaoyin, Yu Er, Xia Tianqiong, Xia Lingshuang, Zhu Youfu, Qin Peng and others, as well as Monster Beasts, present.

Even Du Yan, Li Sanniang, Luo Yurou, Lan Ruo Bing and others arrived.

Ye Liuyun hurried over as well.

"What happened?"

As soon as Ye Liuyun entered the Grand Hall, he asked straight away.

"Liuyun!"

"Master!"

The others were overjoyed to see Ye Liuyun.

"Underworld God dealt with?" Wu Qingcheng asked concernedly.

"The Underworld God has already been killed by me! What happened in Yi Cheng?" Ye Liuyun, without time to say more, immediately began to inquire about the situation.

"Your return is perfect! We're discussing supplies; bring Liang Xue out as well!" Zhuge Feiyu said directly.

Ye Liuyun instantly released Liang Xue, Lei Ming, Long Nv, and Ye Tiandao from the Space World.

They initially thought everyone was welcoming them, but upon seeing the solemn expressions and probing the city's condition with their Divine Sense, they all showed bewildered looks.

Zhuge Feiyu began: "Let me put it briefly. Several Divine Realm strongmen suddenly arrived on Zhongyang Dalu, claiming they sensed the aura of their kin—a woman. They intend to take people to the Divine Realm for cultivation."

"To locate this woman, each major power on Zhongyang Dalu is being inspected one by one. I feared we might have the person they're looking for, so I preemptively set up some arrangements as a precaution. It also serves as a drill for the army."

"Divine Realm strongmen? Coming to Zhongyang Dalu to find kin?" Ye Liuyun found it somewhat unbelievable.

Zhuge Feiyu explained: "Indeed they are of Divine Realm level; no one can match them. Moreover, three of them arrived, and among them the woman's strength is the greatest."

"It is said their kin only awaken a certain special ability after reaching a certain realm. The specifics haven't been disclosed. Now the Feng Clan, Cheng Clan, and the Imperial Family in the capital have all completed the screening."

"The only major power left is us. If the person is here and they take them away, I won't be able to report back to you."

Ye Liuyun scanned the area anxiously, looking at the group of women.

If the other major powers have finished their screening, the person they're looking for could indeed be among us.

His gaze fell on Xiao Lan Bing, Huo Hu, Lei Ming, and Long Nv, as if only they possessed the special ability.

"Not Monster Beast!" Zhuge Feiyu read Ye Liuyun's eyes and confirmed with him.

Hearing that, Lei Ming and Long Nv, being Monster Beasts, completely relaxed.

Then Zhuge Feiyu added: "You don't need to guess blindly; anyone could be it. That special ability might seem ordinary to us!"

"The disciples of Demonic God Sect are beyond our capacity to tend to; we can only hold Yi Cheng for now."

Zhuge Feiyu's intention was to keep the women around Ye Liuyun under watch, so they wouldn't be snatched away!

Ye Liuyun nodded and began counting the people.

Everyone here is present; the only one missing is Aunt Feng Wanru.

Ye Liuyun immediately said, "You discuss among yourselves; I'll go fetch Aunt Feng Wanru and also report safely to my parents!"

"Alright, go. Return quickly; they may arrive soon!" Zhuge Feiyu instructed.

Ye Liuyun didn't have time to say more and directly used the Teleportation Array to rush to the Danqi Alliance.

As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived, his parents came out to greet him.

"Handled the Underworld God?" his father Ye Xiaotian asked concernedly.

"I killed him, and the death mark was completely removed. I also seized the Underworld itself, becoming its ruler!"

Ye Liuyun didn't rush to tell his parents the details, fearing they'd worry. He first gave them a brief account of his own situation.

Then he asked, "Where's Aunt?"

Feng Yunfei gave a slightly meaningful smile and pinched Ye Xiaotian.

"What's wrong?" Ye Liuyun thought his mother's expression was odd.

"Mother grew up with Wanru from childhood; though they're as close as sisters, she's not that old. Mother also knows her thoughts. After you left this time, Mother realized that her soul is gone, and she thinks of you all day…"

Feng Yunfei said that while giving Ye Xiaotian a shove.

Ye Xiaotian quickly replied, "Indeed! You already have so many wives; one more won't hurt. Wanru isn't much older than you! For a Martial Cultivator, that age gap is negligible. Especially since your realms are high, with a thousand to eight hundred years ahead! Having more women with you puts us at ease!"

Ye Liuyun was still pondering the Divine Realm strongmen, but their words left him feeling a bit baffled.

"Mother, what are you saying! I'm looking for Aunt for a serious matter!"

Ye Liuyun calmed down, realizing his parents intended to take Feng Wanru as a daughter‑in‑law.

However, he had no time to discuss this now; he needed to quickly bring Feng Wanru back.

"From now on, stop calling her Aunt! Though she's of the Feng family, she has little blood relation to you!" Feng Yunfei reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Mom, we'll talk about this later; I really have something urgent to do looking for my aunt!" Ye Liuyun felt anxious in his heart, but he didn't want to worry his parents, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
