Chapter 1664: Human Race Interception

As Ye Liuyun kept advancing, the cities he passed through saw more and more Human Race Demon Cultivators.

But their attitude toward Ye Liuyun was the same. No one wanted to let Ye Liuyun go. Magic Crystals are an important cultivation resource for everyone in this world.

Thus, wave after wave of interceptions and kills came nonstop.

Ye Liuyun walked for a month, yet it was not as far as the distance covered in the previous ten‑plus days.

He is now only just at the spot between the Demon Race and Human Race Sacred City. For him, the difference is that the Martial Cultivators intercepting him now are fewer from the Demon Race and more from the Human Race.

Lei Ming had already fought enough and went back to cultivate.

Of the three thousand Demon Beasts initially hatched, after continuous battles just over a thousand of the strongest survived.

In subsequent large‑scale battles, each time Ye Liuyun let those thousand Demon Beasts take on two or three thousand newly hatched Demon Beasts, improving their combat skills and conducting survival of the fittest.

After Ye Liuyun walked another ten‑plus days, he received news from Song Qianyi; the Human Race also began sending strong ones to intercept Ye Liuyun. Among them were many from the Song Family, led by Song Tianhao.

They had originally suffered a big loss at Ye Liuyun's hands; now Ye Liuyun actually came to their doorstep, even bringing heavy treasure—how could they give up?

Moreover, now the Human Race Demon Cultivators also know Ye Liuyun's strength, so this time they gathered together, acting jointly, aiming to eliminate Ye Liuyun in one blow.

"I understand. You handle your own affairs, obtain the White Moon Sacred Fire's defense diagram, smooth the connections, and prepare to send me in."

Ye Liuyun simply told Song Qianyi to take care of her own business.

He did not take the Human Race Demon Cultivators lightly. In strength, Human Race Demon Cultivators are not far off from the Demon Race. But in terms of scheming, Human Race Demon Cultivators are much harder to deal with.

Therefore, this time Ye Liuyun not only had his clone follow him using Shadow Concealment Technique, but also had Qiong Qi wear an invisibility cloak to support him.

All along, Ye Liuyun avoided cities and took detours; the Human Race Demon Cultivators had also discerned a pattern and set traps specifically for him.

That day, Qiong Qi suddenly warned Ye Liuyun that a massive Formation lay ahead.

Ye Liuyun had not detected it beforehand; he only saw some mist in the mountains ahead.

Ye Liuyun calculated the time; Song Tianhao and the other Human Race Demon Cultivator strongmen should be arriving soon.

He, too, was weary of being tormented by the traps designed by these Human Race Demon Cultivators.

"Since that's the case, we'll take the main road!"

Ye Liuyun immediately changed course, heading straight for the nearest city.

Meanwhile, Song Tianhao and the other Demon Cultivator strongmen remained ambushed within the Formation, awaiting Ye Liuyun.

Once Ye Liuyun entered the city, it became very hard to locate him. The city housed many Human Race Demon Cultivators, and Ye Liuyun was not conspicuous.

He went straight to a tavern, ordered a table of dishes, let his clone, Lei Ming, and Qiong Qi all come out to feast together, and then set off.

The Demon Cultivators waiting for Ye Liuyun inside the Formation, after a day, also sensed something was off.

"At that kid's speed, he should be here by now!" Song Tianhao speculated.

"Could it be that he suddenly changed his route?" a Martial Cultivator wondered.

"Such a coincidence? Or perhaps he discovered our Formation?" another Martial Cultivator guessed, noting Ye Liuyun's genuine strength and his knowledge of Formations.

"If that's the case, that kid is far from ordinary! Which clan could cultivate such an elite?" Song Tianhao recalled Ye Liuyun's earlier performance.

When Ye Liuyun first received ten billion Magic Crystals, Song Tianhao even paid special attention to Ye Liuyun's expression. He found that Ye Liuyun showed no hint of surprise at all.

Ye Liuyun even dared to touch Magic Crystals; he certainly doesn't care about those ten billion Crystal Stones.

That means Ye Liuyun never lacks money. Yet none of the major Human Race Demon Cultivator families are wealthy enough to see ten billion Magic Crystals and not even blink.

Ye Liuyun's impression was consistently calm, appearing as if he were orchestrating everything. But that aura clearly marks him as an elite cultivated by a great clan.

However, the major Human Race Demon Cultivator families have all investigated and found no trace of a person named Ye Liuyun.

"Could he be an outsider?" that thought flashed through Song Tianhao's mind.

Afterward, the more he thought, the more possible it seemed.

Because only outsiders would dare to covet Magic Crystals.

Suddenly, he also thought of the White Moon Sacred Fire.

But that was just a notion; he couldn't be sure, so he could only report it to the clan, urging them to strengthen the protection of the White Moon Sacred Fire.

"That kid stole Magic Crystals, didn't hide, and headed straight for the Human Sacred City! I'm worried he'll set his sights on the White Moon Sacred Fire."

"You mean that kid still intends to steal the White Moon Sacred Fire?" the Song Clan Chief had previously thought Ye Liuyun was fleeing to the Human side for refuge.

"Exactly! Moreover, I suspect he is not from this world!" Song Tianhao reported.

"Oh? Do you have any evidence?" the Song Clan Chief immediately asked.

"I have none, just speculation! To dare such deeds without any clan lineage, I think it's not something locals would do!" Song Tianhao explained.

"Alright! For now, keep this matter to ourselves; we don't need to tell anyone else! Follow Ye Liuyun and report his movements to me at any time. I will also send strongmen to covertly capture him."

The reason the Clan Chief doesn't let Song Tianhao spread the news is to first secretly capture Ye Liuyun and interrogate him for information about the other world.

If they can seize a passage to the other world, the Song Family would gain the upper hand. Therefore this information must not be disclosed, lest others also make preparations.

The Song Clan Chief immediately dispatched several late‑stage Celestial Masters from the family, secretly sending them out. Then he went to discuss with the two other families guarding the White Moon Sacred Fire, to strengthen the defenses.

These past days, after Song Qianyi returned to the family, she has been busy investigating the White Moon Sacred Fire's protective arrangements, often running to the Clan Chief to gather information.

This time, it coincided with Song Qianyi's visit. The Clan Chief also took the chance to ask about Ye Liuyun's situation.

"What's wrong, father?" Song Qianyi also felt the Clan Chief must have guessed something, which is why he asked her.

The Song Clan Chief had no intention of hiding it from his daughter, so he told Song Qianyi the matter.

Song Qianyi said nothing at the time, also thinking it was just the Song Family's speculation. Ye Liuyun had not told her his origins.

After the Song Clan Chief left, Song Qianyi immediately reported to Ye Liuyun, mainly stating that the White Moon Sacred Fire's guards needed strengthening and that the previously obtained layout diagram might change.

She also reminded Ye Liuyun that the Song Family had experts secretly sent to capture him.

"Why the sudden change?" Ye Liuyun sensed these changes were unusual, clearly targeted at him.
