Chapter 1783: Bad Impression

Xuan Yuan Ling has been anxiously awaiting news every day for the past few days.

When she heard that Ye Liuyun had come to find her, she immediately rushed excitedly to the private room, causing Steward Liao to look a little puzzled, as he had never seen the family's miss so excited.

Xuan Yuan Ling, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, asked, "You actually managed to return?"

Ye Liuyun gave a faint smile and handed Xuan Yuan Ling a Storage Ring.

Xuan Yuan Ling's Divine Sense probed and she exhaled, "You really did it!"

But she immediately asked, "Why did you keep the evidence this time?"

"I'm leaving right away, no time to wait for you to investigate; I'll give you the evidence directly, so you can get the bounty a bit faster.

Fulfilling what I promised your brother, that counts as an explanation!"

Ye Liuyun said frankly.

Xuan Yuan Ling smiled and handed the previously prepared Realm Crystal directly to Ye Liuyun.

"Pleasant cooperation! Hope we have more chances to work together in the future!"

Xuan Yuan Ling was actually very curious about Ye Liuyun.

However, Ye Liuyun always stays indifferent toward her; even when there's more, he doesn't tell her, leaving her no chance to ask how he does it.

Ye Liuyun nodded and took out another Storage Ring to exchange for a Divine Crystal.

Xuan Yuan Ling immediately summoned Steward Liao to assist Ye Liuyun with the exchange.

"If you can make it back from the Border Battlefield, shall we become friends?"

"Then I'll treat you to a drink!"

Xuan Yuan Ling said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled and confidently said, "Then it's settled; just have the wine and dishes ready when I get back!"

"I sometimes truly admire you! Daring to the extreme! Clearly your realm is insufficient, yet I don't know how you achieve it!"

Xuan Yuan Ling sighed.

"Haha, when you treat me to a drink next time, I'll tell you then!"

Ye Liuyun also laughed.

His assassin mission has come to a pause, and his mood has relaxed considerably.

The rest is to go to the Border Battlefield to train, then return to kill Xuan Yuan Yu.

So when Xuan Yuan Ling said she'd treat him to a drink, he immediately agreed.

Later he'll still have to rely on Xuan Yuan Ling to supply information on Xuan Yuan Yu!

Ye Liuyun returned from the Xuan Yuan Tower to his own residence, immediately began cultivating; with only a day left before departure, he didn't want to waste any time.

Long Nv, having absorbed the Dragon Pearl and refined the Dragon Horn, this time even surpassed Lei Ming to breakthrough into the early Third Layer Realm.

Lei Ming and Man Shu also both broke into the Third Layer Realm, and this time they weren't left behind by Ye Liuyun.

Ye Tiandao and Black Panther's speed slowed a bit.

But Ye Tiandao's sword intent and Spatial Power have greatly improved.

Everyone is consolidating and elevating their realms within the Space World.

Ye Liuyun hasn't yet grasped the Realm Crystal, but together with his clone he absorbs and refines the energy crystal balls taken from raids, first filling the Storage Yuan Stone with Mysterious Origin at the early Third Layer Realm, preparing for battle.

Until the gathering, Ye Liuyun only then summoned everyone out of the Xuan Kong Shi.

Zhang Wencai, accompanied by Pei Yong, was already waiting for them.

Ye Liuyun counted the people; including Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong but excluding Black Panther, they numbered only twenty.

However, the others' realms have already risen to the late Second Layer, matching the realms shown by Ye Liuyun's group.

It seems they've all been desperately cultivating during this period.

"You also go with us?"

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice to Pei Yong.

"Yes! The Chief Master insists I go with them!"

Pei Yong replied to Ye Liuyun.

Actually, regarding the Border Battlefield, he also doesn't want to go; it's too complicated and chaotic there.

But there's no way around it; orders must be obeyed.

Pei Yong's realm also rose to the late Second Layer; besides the resources Ye Liuyun gave him, he had also collected some himself earlier.

For this Border training, he had just raised his realm.

He has even already put his sword intent crystal stone to use.

"This trip to the Border will take about two or three months on the road; these are your cultivation resources for that period."

Zhang Wencai explained to everyone, giving each a Storage Ring loaded with the resources they need for cultivation.

He even prepared some Ferocious Beast Yuan Pills for Black Panther.

These resources aren't many for Ye Liuyun and the others, but they're better than nothing.

Gathered together, they're basically enough for Ye Tiandao to breakthrough.

Black Panther's Yuan Pills have already been collected in abundance; breaking through to the Third Layer Realm along the way will definitely be no problem.

"After boarding the Flying Boat, first refine the Sky‑piercing Pill and other elixirs, so everyone can use them for cultivation on the road!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

Immediately after, Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong led them, rushing to the outer city military camp.

A large Flying Boat was parked at the camp gate.

Zhang Wencai took them to the Flying Boat, but didn't let them board, as if waiting for someone.

Ye Liuyun wondered, "This Flying Boat seems a bit big!"

At that moment, he saw Zhang Wencai look toward the barracks.

From the barracks, three thousand soldiers emerged, each holding a spear in the right hand and a shield in the left.

Zhang Wencai explained to them, "This is the spear unit of our Royal City Imperial Guard."

That female Leader is the deputy Leader of the Imperial Guard, Xiao Yunfang.

"We are going with them to the border battlefield for training this time."

Ye Liuyun glanced at the soldiers: four per line, uniformly dressed, movements synchronized, and their cultivation level was uniformly mid‑stage of the Second Doubling.

Their equipment from head to toe was all second‑tier armor and weapons.

Judging by this formation, they are not an ordinary guard unit.

Only Xiao Yunfang had just broken through to the late stage of the Third Doubling.

Within this team, there were also more than twenty female soldiers.

That's rather uncommon.

It is probably related to the fact that their deputy Leader is a woman.

Xiao Yunfang led the squad to the Flying Boat, waved a hand, and had the squad board directly.

Zhang Wencai then went up to greet her, bowing, and said, "Leader Xiao, these are the eighteen Martial Cultivators participating in this training, plus one of my subordinates."

Xiao Yunfang cast a glance at Ye Liuyun and the others.

Seeing them in military uniforms but without any formation, she felt displeased, thinking they would look better in ordinary clothes.

So she only gave a "hm" and said nothing.

After her troops finished waiting for the Flying Boat, she said to Zhang Wancai, "Let them board!"

After speaking, she did not wait for Zhang Wencai and boarded the Flying Boat first.

This time Zhang Wencai called out to the crowd and boarded the Flying Boat with them.

"That woman is so arrogant!"

a Martial Cultivator whispered.

"All shut up, don't speak recklessly! She's the Imperial Guard deputy Leader; you can't just talk about her!"

Zhang Wencai reminded everyone.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, but he felt the same, thinking the woman was too arrogant.

He had led elite soldiers before, trained them, and had never encountered someone like Xiao Yunfang who ignores people.

Even before the Flying Boat took off, both sides already had a poor impression of each other.

So after boarding, there was little interaction between the two sides.

Everyone sat quietly in their seats and began cultivating.
