Chapter 1674: Covert Command

Ye Liuyun saw that Huowu and the others truly could not hold on any longer, so he only gave them advice and plans, without acting himself.

The matter had already escalated to this point; once he stepped forward, he would certainly be unable to fight further, and would have to provide explanations and compensation.

Therefore he still tried to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible, letting Huowu and the others handle it.

"Huowu goes out to engage the enemy, cooperating with Dujiao to swiftly kill several Martial Cultivators. Eagle Woman manifests her true form, lifts the four women onto her back, and flies toward a sparsely populated area outside the city; Eagle Man returns to guard. Black Panther uses speed to check two Tianzun Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators, urging them not to attack hastily. Shi Yuan blocks the ground pursuers. Xiao Lanbing and Qingfeng, using Ice Power and a whirlwind, stop the high‑altitude pursuing Martial Cultivators. Everyone, follow Eagle Woman, strike while retreating!"

The Monster Beasts were now fighting anxiously. They also realized they were at a disadvantage and could not defeat the opponent.

If they wanted to flee it would be easy, but once they withdrew, the few women on the ground would have nowhere to run, so they were all straining to hold on.

At that moment, hearing Ye Liuyun's Transmission Voice command, they instantly found a backbone and calmed down.

They immediately followed Ye Liuyun's orders and made adjustments.

Eagle Woman manifested her true form, rolled several women onto her back, and rose into the air; the Martial Cultivators on the ground trying to chase were all intercepted by Eagle Man.

Then Eagle Man flew away, and Shi Yuan took over; the divine artifacts on his six arms activated in succession, instantly knocking down a large swath of Martial Cultivators on the ground.

Huowu rose into the high sky, immediately casting an illusion; Dujiao used a chain‑mace to smash them one by one, quickly eliminating several Martial Cultivators of the Tianzun Realm.

Black Panther, relying on speed, circled the two strongest Tianzun Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators, striking left then right, no longer engaging them head‑on; all were feints, which instead made them flustered and reluctant to launch attacks on others.

Xiao Lanbing was also freed, helped others shake off their opponents, and, following the direction Eagle Woman fled, all rushed toward the outskirts of the city.

Ye Liuyun also followed them, arrived outside the city, and commanded them in battle.

The Martial Cultivators pursuing them were puzzled; these Monster Beasts had just not been their opponents and were about to be defeated, yet suddenly changed tactics, counter‑killed, and fled outside the city.

Thus these people pursued cautiously, without pressing closely.

"Master, I never expected it to get this big!" Once there was a moment, Huowu began to admit his mistake to Ye Liuyun.

"Now is not the time for that; focus on the enemy! Since we've already acted, strive to kill them all completely, so you can withdraw and I won't have to step forward!" Ye Liuyun replied to Huowu.

Then he began assigning opponents to each person and teaching them battle methods.

The Monster Beasts also followed Ye Liuyun's instructions and prepared.

At this time, the two columns of pursuers also rushed up.

A strong member of the Formation Guard Team clasped his fists at Lin Feier and said, "Miss, are you a disciple of the Demonic God Sect? Our Formation Guard Team has some ties with the Demonic God Sect, you know?"

Lin Feier did not deny it and directly recounted the whole incident.

After she finished, both sides understood that the reason it escalated was the Monster Beasts' belligerent nature, which caused the series of events.

A Deputy Leader in the army, hearing this, said directly, "The Monster Beasts were brought by you; regardless, the deaths of our Leader and those soldiers must be your responsibility!"

The people of the Formation Guard Team thought for a moment and then said, "Since our people harassed the miss first, we shouldn't intervene today. However, we will still report this upward and let the person in charge discuss a solution!"

Lin Feier immediately received Ye Liuyun's Transmission Voice, telling her how to restore the Guard Team.

The clone also simultaneously used a Transmission Talisman to contact Lanruo Bing, asking her to summon those people back.

Lin Feier nodded and said, "I was thinking the same. It was originally a misunderstanding; there's no need to make it a life‑or‑death clash!"

After Lin Feier finished speaking, she directly sent a Transmission Voice to him, telling him her name.

The strong member of the Formation Guard Team saw the situation: earlier so many strong ones couldn't stop these Monster Beasts, and now they were even more unstoppable; continuing to fight would only cause more casualties.

Moreover, these women, accompanied by so many powerful Monster Beasts, likely have strong backgrounds.

Especially since they all know that Ye Liuyun has some Monster Beasts by his side, and with such high realms, those Monster Beasts are not something ordinary people can keep.

Although he was unclear about Lin Feier's relationship with Ye Liuyun and whether she was a figure in the Demonic God Sect, the fact that Lin Feier dared to tell him her name showed she wasn't worried about him settling the score.

He was about to withdraw his troops when a Transmission Talisman suddenly received a direct order from Lanruo Bing.

"Withdraw immediately; do not pursue further!"

Though the order was simple, it made it clear to him that Lin Feier was no ordinary person.

Being able to relay the information to Lanruo Bing so quickly and have her issue a direct order proved his earlier suspicion correct: these women and Monster Beasts were most likely Ye Liuyun's people.

Now he could only admit defeat. Who made his own men blind, provoking these people first?

"Farewell!"

The strong one showed no airs, but bowed respectfully and departed, taking his subordinates with him.

This scene left the Deputy Leader staring dumbfounded.

The strong one's demeanor was never very forceful; after receiving the Transmission Talisman message, he became even less arrogant, so the Deputy Leader also suspected that those women and Monster Beasts might have a big backing.

"Senior, are you not planning to pursue the matter?"

The Deputy Leader immediately sent a Transmission Voice to the strong member of the Guard Team to inquire.

The strong one, without turning his head, sent a Transmission Voice back: "I advise you to drop it here! You can't cover this matter; don't waste your life on it!"

The Deputy Leader immediately understood that the other side's background was strong.

Moreover, once the Formation Guard Team withdrew, they would be even less of a match for these Monster Beasts.

Thus he stopped raising the issue of accountability, immediately ordered a retreat, and regarding the liability, he could only report upward and see how it would be handled.

Since the other side has backing, it will probably end inconclusively; who would care about the soldiers of their army and a minor Deputy Leader!

The people of Chengzhu Fu wore puzzled expressions. They had only come out to help when they saw fighting inside the city, yet their strong ones suffered the most deaths.

Now both feuding sides are not pursuing the matter, yet they are still left here; what can they do? They can no longer hope to fight.

Either they leave on their own, or they are forced out!
