Chapter 211: Annihilating the Dark Night Hall

Ye Liuyun finally stated his attitude, then asked Wu Qingcheng for her opinion.

Wu Qingcheng heard this, felt much more at ease. Ye Liuyun let her choose, which in fact meant he hadn't refused her. She was only afraid Ye Liuyun would look down on her.

She then said firmly, "I'm not afraid of death; what else is frightening! I will follow you!"

"Aren't you going to think it over? To be honest, I've been close to death many times—just barely survived! It was only luck that let me escape each disaster. I don't even know how far I can go!" Ye Liuyun chuckled self‑deprecatingly at Wu Qingcheng.

"If you die, I'll kill myself to be with you!"

Wu Qingcheng said that, gazed affectionately at Ye Liuyun, and then leaned forward to kiss him.

Ye Liuyun was stunned, his body rigid. Yet subconsciously he didn't dodge, allowing Wu Qingcheng's lips to press against his.

Then Wu Qingcheng, her face flushing with embarrassment, turned and ran back to her room to tend her wounds, leaving a still‑dazed Ye Liuyun soaking in the hot spring.

Early the next morning, Wu Qingcheng's injuries had greatly improved.

Yet Ye Liuyun forced her to take another Healing Elixir, sent her back to her room to rest, and said she could return to the academy once fully recovered.

After breakfast, Ye Liuyun left with a group of Monster Beasts and Lin Xueying, saying he would take them for a stroll, leaving only Shi Yuan to guard Wu Qingcheng.

In fact, their target was the Dark Night Hall headquarters.

Having killed the Hall Master's son this time, Ye Liuyun knew they would not settle peacefully, so he took the initiative and wiped out the Dark Night Hall outright, lest those assassins cause him more trouble.

The Dark Night Hall headquarters was situated in a mountain villa outside the city.

At that moment, Hall Master Chu Songyuan was pacing back and forth inside the Grand Hall.

He had been restless all night, harboring a bad premonition. He had sent someone to inquire about his son's whereabouts, but no reply had come.

He walked two more rounds in the Grand Hall, then ordered his subordinates, "Fetch the two Protectors!"

"Yes!" the underlings replied, and soon summoned the Dark Night Hall's two Protectors.

Chu Songyuan and the two Protectors were all at the Holy Realm cultivation level.

Generally, saints who have reached the Yuan Dan Realm are more attuned to the Heavenly Earth and nature, and do not feel restless without cause.

So after Chu Songyuan explained his situation, the two Protectors also began to worry for the Young Master.

Just as they were about to go out to search for the Hall Master's son, Ye Liuyun and his group arrived outside the villa.

The three Monster Beasts immediately emitted a pressure aura, enveloping the entire villa.

"Monster Beasts of the Holy Realm?" the three exchanged glances and leapt out of the Grand Hall.

"Kill them outright! No more talk!" Ye Liuyun ordered coldly, charging forward with Lin Xueying to strike at the Dark Night Hall members.

The three Monster Beasts also revealed their true forms, attacking the three saints.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our Dark Night Hall!" Hall Master Chu Songyuan shouted.

"Ye Liuyun!"

Ye Liuyun shouted his name as he fought!

Chu Songyuan was startled, thinking it was bad. He feared Ye Liuyun had already rescued Wu Qingcheng, making his own son in danger.

While repelling Qiong Qi's assault, he asked, "Where is my son Chu Xiong? What have you done to him?"

"Killed!" Ye Liuyun replied coldly, his hand never wavering.

"What? You dared to kill my son?" Chu Songyuan, enraged, struck Qiong Qi away with a palm and glared at Ye Liuyun.

"What? As an assassin, you have no such awareness? Want to kill others but lack the mental preparation for being killed?" Ye Liuyun sneered coldly.

"If you dare kill my son, I'll die today and drag you down with me!"

As he spoke, the blood‑vein power throughout his body erupted, his aura surged violently, and his body swelled. His clothes instantly tore apart, and his muscles bulged like a coiling dragon.

"If only I'd brought Shi Yuan over earlier!" Ye Liuyun muttered, watching Chu Songyuan enlarge.

"Hmph! Trivial tricks!" Qiong Qi sneered, then unleashed his own blood‑vein power, his body swelling as he positioned himself between Ye Liuyun and Chu Songyuan.

"If you want to kill this kid, you must first get past me!"

While saying so, he waved his claws repeatedly, casting a massive defensive Formation in the air.

At that moment, Chu Songyuan threw a punch at Qiong Qi.

Boom—

Chu Songyuan's punch struck the Formation; it not only failed to hit Qiong Qi, but also blasted him back.

Qiong Qi gave him no respite, lunged forward, and spewed a blazing crimson flame at Chu Songyuan.

"Ah!"

Chu Songyuan let out a howl, his massive body rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire.

Meanwhile, Bai Hu and Lei Ming had finished their fights, hovering in the air, blocking Chu Songyuan's retreat and watching the spectacle.

Ye Liuyun focused his attacks on those above the Fifth Level of Sea Transformation, leaving the rest to Lin Xueying.

Only when Lin Xueying was besieged and overwhelmed would he use his Soul to clear a few for her.

After finally extinguishing the flames on his body, Chu Songyuan, seeing the situation turn dire, prepared to flee. Knowing he was no match for Qiong Qi, he rose and charged at Bai Hu.

Bai Hu let out a tiger roar that made him shudder, then spewed five beams of Golden Light, forcefully driving him back to his spot.

Seeing that Bai Hu was also hard to handle, Chu Songyuan lunged at Lei Ming. Before he could get close, Lei Ming's horn emitted a bolt of Blood Thunder, blasting him to the ground.

The Dark Night Hall disciples on the ground, seeing their Hall Master brutally battered by three Holy Realm Monster Beasts, fled in all directions.

Yet Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense had already enveloped the villa; anyone who escaped was instantly annihilated by his Spiritual Soul Attack.

At this moment, Chu Songyuan was utterly desperate. The three Monster Beasts' attacks grew stronger each time, never matching his strength, leaving him with no advantage.

Looking at the whole Dark Night Hall, both Protectors were dead, and the disciples were still being slaughtered by Ye Liuyun and Lin Xueying. This Dark Night Hall had completely lost any footing.

Realizing this, he steeled himself and chose to self‑destruct; even in death he would drag Ye Liuyun and the Monster Beasts down with him.

Though Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense was busy slaying the Dark Night Hall disciples, he kept watching Chu Songyuan.

Upon noticing his dantian's True Essence coalescing and burning violently, he instantly realized Chu Songyuan intended to self‑destruct. He then unleashed a hundred Soul Swords infused with Nether Ghost Fire into Chu Songyuan's Sea of Consciousness, instantly incinerating his Soul completely.

Chu Songyuan didn't have time to self‑destruct; his soul scattered, and the True Essence condensed in his dantian dispersed as well.

The other three Monster Beasts had just sensed the terrifying heat in Chu Songyuan's dantian, and now they were all filled with dread.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun dispelled it at that moment; otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

A Martial Cultivator of the Holy Realm self‑destructed, enough to flatten the entire mountain villa.

If he succeeded in self‑destructing, they could escape without serious injury, but Ye Liuyun would be in danger.

Immediately, the three of them retaliatorily dug out the three saints' dantians, each swallowing one.

These saints' dantians were great tonics for them, helping improve their cultivation.

Their Storage Rings and weapons were also collected by the Monster Beasts.

At this point, the battle between Ye Liuyun and Lin Xueying was drawing to a close. The remaining scattered Dark Night Hall disciples were too much trouble for Ye Liuyun to kill one by one, so he used a Spiritual Soul Attack to annihilate them all.
