Chapter 2064: A Cornered Dog Leaps the Wall

Ye Liuyun heard Fengchen speak and immediately knew he had come because of Li Xingrou.

He gave a faint smile and asked Fengchen, "What is it?"

"Fengchen, senior brother, have you been idle lately?"

"Even this kind of matter you have to inquire about?"

"Look at how you put it! Though you haven't joined my camp, you're not Murong Tian's man either! It's normal for me to tell you when I hear news."

"You must never underestimate Li Xingrou! She's not only Murong Tian's woman, she's also a princess of the Eastern Kingdom!"

"So what of it?"

Ye Liuyun said disdainfully.

"Ah, junior brother, you have no idea how deep the waters of the Profound Heaven Sect are."

"If you offend him, how will you continue to survive in the Profound Heaven Sect?"

"In my view, you should just endure for now and help her refine a pill; it's not a trouble at all! Or simply sell her the pill formula and make a tidy profit—doesn't that sound good?"

Fengchen got to the point, still assuming Ye Liuyun's name was a virtue, leaving no fault to point out.

"This guy really knows how to put on a front!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself that he could also eliminate him.

So Ye Liuyun set his expression straight and said seriously to Fengchen, "Fengchen, I respect you as a Holy Son, which is why I let you in."

"I don't care about any rift between you and Murong Tian; it has nothing to do with me! I also don't want to get involved in your affairs."

"As for pleading on Li Xingrou's behalf, that's even less your business! In the future, if there's nothing, don't come to me with such nonsense! Qing Yan, see her off!"

While saying this, Ye Liuyun ordered the lion‑tiger beast outside to unleash its pressure on Fengchen.

"Huh?"

"Junior brother, I spoke kindly to you, why are you still angry?"

Fengchen hadn't expected Ye Liuyun's strong reaction and was a bit puzzled.

Ye Liuyun turned and left, returning to cultivation.

"Go ahead!"

Qing Yan immediately drove Fengchen away.

The lion‑tiger beast's pressure terrified Fengchen, who dared not stay and fled the Side Courtyard of Ye Liuyun at once.

"That kid really won't budge!"

Fengchen sighed helplessly and could only report truthfully to Li Xingrou.

"Now it's over!"

Li Xingrou, upon hearing it, realized she was completely out of options!

She stared at the last beauty‑preserving pill in her hand, dazed for a long while.

"Alas! No wonder people say, never offend an Alchemist!"

She let out a long sigh and ordered the disciples stationed outside Dan Hall to withdraw.

"If there's truly no way, we'll have to go back and beg him!"

But having already spoken harshly and caused such a commotion, now having to beg Ye Liuyun felt somewhat embarrassing.

At that moment, she suddenly saw the two guards beside her.

Both were assigned by the Eastern Kingdom; although not at the Eighth Realm, they were in the late Seventh Layer, enough to contend with Ye Liuyun and his ferocious beast.

She thought it over and still didn't want to bow to Ye Liuyun, deciding to try once more.

She summoned the two guards and ordered them to ambush Ye Liuyun at night.

She also instructed them, "Tonight move silently and capture Ye Liuyun."

"Make sure the Dan Hall elder doesn't find out!"

Ye Liuyun's side immediately received Li Jian's message and learned that the disciples guarding him outside Dan Hall had withdrawn.

"Li Xingrou still has one pill left!"

Ye Liuyun calculated the timing, had his duplicate don the Invisibility Cloak, and stationed Ning Fei and Mo Hai to guard the Side Courtyard.

He also feared Li Xingrou might be driven into desperation in the final moments, so he dispatched an expert to ambush her.

In fact, Ye Liuyun's plan succeeded; in the middle of the night, Li Xingrou's two close guards slipped into Dan Hall, heading toward Ye Liuyun's residence.

The duplicate immediately detected the two.

However, both were wearing Defense Artifacts against Spiritual Soul Attack.

Because Elder Ku Rong of the Profound Heaven Sect excels at Spiritual Soul Attack, they had such defenses.

Ye Liuyun could do nothing but wait until they entered the courtyard, then release Ning Fei and Mo Hai to restrain the two.

These two guards had been watching the lion‑tiger beast; upon entering the courtyard, they intended to strike the beast.

"Roar!"

The lion‑tiger beast, having already received Ye Liuyun's warning, let out a great roar, shaking the entire Dan Hall.

Before the two guards could act, their shoulders were pressed down, and the realm pressure released, immobilizing them and ripping off their Defense Artifacts.

The duplicate immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, devouring their souls.

Then Ye Liuyun, with Qing Yan, rushed out and pulled the duplicate, Ning Fei, and Mo Hai into the Space World.

The lion‑tiger beast's roar also drew Jin Qing Song over.

Several Steward Elders inside Dan Hall hurried over to assess the situation.

"What happened?"

Jin Qing Song rushed toward Ye Liuyun while shouting from a distance.

"Master, someone launched a surprise attack and was discovered by my pet beast!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

「What? 」

Jin Qing Song also became furious upon hearing this.

「Who is it? 」

How dare they attack my disciple in the Sect! If I catch them, I'll skin them alive! 」

Jin Qing Song had already rushed into Ye Liuyun's Side Courtyard, saw Ye Liuyun safe and sound, and also let out a slight sigh of relief.

He nodded to the other Elders, and also caught sight of someone examining the two corpses on the ground.

「Seventh Layer late-stage realm? 」

Jin Qing Song also grew curious.

「Fortunately their Divine Soul Power is weak, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deal with them! 」

Ye Liuyun explained.

A Steward Elder reported to Jin Qing Song: 「They shouldn't be Sect disciples! Sect disciples don't have such a high realm. 」

They don't look the age either.

In their Storage Rings were the uniforms of the Eastern Dynasty's guards……

「Have you recently offended someone from the Eastern Dynasty? 」

Jin Qing Song asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun pretended to think, then said to Jin Qing Song: 「Fengchen came by during the day, and I drove him away! 」

Next, Ye Liuyun also learned from Jin Qing Song exactly what Fengchen had said the two times he came to see him, without missing a word.

「I think he was stirring up trouble, so I drove him away and wasn't polite about it! 」

Ye Liuyun explained.

「Hmm, you did very well! 」

Jin Qing Song nodded in praise.

This matter involves Li Xingrou and the Holy Son Fengchen, and he also dare not handle it arbitrarily.

But he also had to ensure that these people would not dare to attack Ye Liuyun again in the future.

「These people's courage is growing bigger and bigger, treating the Profound Heaven Sect as what place, actually starting assassinations. 」

This matter cannot be left as is! Otherwise the Profound Heaven Sect will be thrown into chaos by these people.

Take the corpses with me and go to the Law Enforcement Hall! 」

Jin Qing Song had Ye Liuyun and several Steward Elders together carry the two corpses rushing to the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.

And the Sword-Wielding Elder is precisely the Law Enforcement Hall's Law Enforcement Elder.

He saw that Chen Feng had met with misfortune, immediately contacted Ye Liuyun, fearing it would affect Ye Liuyun's plan, asking what happened and how to handle it.

「Uphold justice in law enforcement, severely punish the culprit! 」

Ye Liuyun only replied with eight characters.
