Chapter 1665: Approaching the Sacred Fire

Song Qianyi also revealed Song Tianhao's suspicion that Ye Liuyun came from outside the world.

"So that's it!" Ye Liuyun finally understood why the Song Family was doing this.

He immediately discussed with Qiong Qi how to deal with it.

"The Song Family didn't disclose my identity because they wanted to capture me covertly first and obtain more information!" Ye Liuyun analyzed.

Qiong Qi told Ye Liuyun: "Their motives aren't important. Use the Invisibility Cloak, rush at full speed to the Sacred City, secure the hidden fire first, and don't show your face again, lest you cause more trouble."

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun also thought that the Demon Beasts had trained enough recently, and they had stored plenty of food, so there was no need to reveal their movements any longer.

So he immediately pulled his clone and Qiong Qi into the Space World, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and raced at full speed toward the Human Sacred City.

At this moment, Song Tianhao and his group were also frantically searching for Ye Liuyun's whereabouts.

They traced Ye Liuyun to the main road heading to the Sacred City, but soon lost any trace of him.

Song Tianhao even began to suspect whether Ye Liuyun had temporarily left this world.

Both the Human Race and the Demon Race, having lost Ye Liuyun's trail, began to suspect each other.

The Human Race speculated that Ye Liuyun had been captured by a Demon Race expert.

The Demon Race also guessed that Ye Liuyun had fallen into Human hands, but they refused to admit it and wouldn't return the Magic Crystal.

Thus the Demon Race's great army used this as an excuse, surged straight into the Human stronghold, and launched a massive offensive.

Consequently, many people's attention was once again drawn to this great battle.

The Human Race also had to mobilize massive manpower to meet the fight.

Only the Song Family was not very proactive about this war. They recalled all their experts to the Sacred City, waiting for Ye Liuyun to appear again.

But in reality, Ye Liuyun had already arrived at Song Qianyi's side and was living within the Song Family.

"The new defensive deployment has undergone major adjustments, and many personnel have been replaced; I still need to go gather information again!" Song Qianyi reported to Ye Liuyun.

"Time is urgent; don't worry about the rest. Go now and get as close as possible to the White Moon Sacred Fire; I'll handle the rest as the situation demands," Ye Liuyun ordered directly.

"Yes, Master!" Song Qianyi, under Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal control, dared not resist.

She was actually very worried about being implicated, and even more concerned that Ye Liuyun wouldn't release her Slave Seal, keeping her under permanent control.

Ye Liuyun, who held Song Qianyi's Slave Seal, knew what she was worrying about.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in this world at all. If you fetch the item for me, I will certainly restore your freedom!" Ye Liuyun comforted her.

"Huh? Master, you really aren't from this world?" Song Qianyi only then confirmed that Ye Liuyun truly wasn't from this world.

Ye Liuyun nodded in acknowledgment, but he thought to himself, "It seems before I leave, I need to do something—erase this woman's memories!"

"What is the world outside like?" Song Qianyi asked Ye Liuyun curiously.

Ye Liuyun had neither the time nor the interest to educate her; he simply told Song Qianyi, "When you cultivate to the Divine Realm, you'll naturally know!"

Song Qianyi had no choice but to take Ye Liuyun and continue rushing toward the location of the White Moon Sacred Fire.

The place where the White Moon Sacred Fire resides is called the Sanctum by the Human Race.

Although Song Qianyi's standing within the Song Family wasn't low, she also knew that the Human Race was using the White Moon Sacred Fire for cultivation. But those matters weren't for her to touch; they were arranged personally by the Clan Chiefs of several great families.

Therefore, if she wanted to approach the Sacred Fire, she had to use the normal passage.

Whether she could get close to the Sacred Fire also depended on luck. If the guards recognized her, that was fine. If she met a stubborn fool who couldn't adapt, she wouldn't dare force her way in.

Fortunately, their luck held. Just as they were about to leave the Song Family, they saw a pair of armor-clad soldiers walking out.

"Uncle Jiu, where are you headed?" Song Qianyi, seeing this, had a flash of inspiration and greeted the leading officer.

"Qianyi! We're on our way to the Sanctum to change shifts. Where are you going?" Uncle Jiu replied, chatting with Song Qianyi.

"I'm idle with nothing to do, just want to go out for a walk. Uncle Jiu, take me to the Sanctum for a stroll? I'm at a loss for where to go!" Song Qianyi immediately cooed and begged.

"You! Running around before got you sold to the Demon Race; the family spent a lot of manpower and resources to rescue you, and you still haven't learned! Going with me is fine, at least it's safer than wandering everywhere!"

Uncle Jiu took the opportunity to lecture her a couple of times, but he didn't refuse her.

After taking Song Qianyi along, he reminded her on the way: "Things have been chaotic lately; the Demon Race's great army has already advanced. Don't wander around unless necessary.

Today you stay by my side. In the future, unless there's a need, don't go out. I'll also inform your father later that someone needs to keep an eye on you!"

The uncle and nephew chatted as they walked, seeming to get along well.

With Uncle Jiu guiding Song Qianyi, they entered the Sanctum without much obstruction.

However, Uncle Jiu's post was still separated from the Sacred Fire by a defensive line, not particularly close.

Ye Liuyun used his Divine Sense to scan the area and discovered that not only were many of the guards at the level of Celestial Demon Cultivators, but there were also numerous hidden sentries in the shadows, with his Divine Sense continuously probing outward.

Moreover, between these two defensive lines lay a Formation. If Song Qianyi could usher him through another layer, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Uncle Jiu, it's been ages since I've seen the Sacred Fire. Could you take me in for a look?" Song Qianyi immediately pleaded with Uncle Jiu per Ye Liuyun's instruction.

"What's so interesting about that thing!" Uncle Jiu said disdainfully.

Then he quietly sent a Transmission Voice to Song Qianyi: "In a little while, your father will probably arrange for you to enter and cultivate!"

"Just a glance! I've almost forgotten what the Sacred Fire looks like!" Song Qianyi cooed again, pestering Uncle Jiu.

"Sigh! I really can't handle you. I'll take you to see. I have no idea who's on duty inside!" Uncle Jiu, unable to resist her pestering, could only agree.

After dispatching his subordinates, he led Song Qianyi toward the interior defensive line.

The leaders among these guards were all familiar with each other. He took Song Qianyi over, made small talk for a couple of sentences, and explained their purpose. The leader didn't mind and let them in directly.

The White Moon Sacred Fire originally belonged to these few families, so they never imagined that one of their own would try to scheme.

And so, Ye Liuyun also passed through the guards' final defensive line.
