Chapter 2665: Not at All Concerned

These Black-clothed Persons prepared to act together against Ye Liuyun, first to kill him.

This assassination operation is a classified mission; even though Ye Liuyun's lion‑tiger beast is hard to kill, they must also silence it.

The moment they moved, Ye Liuyun said, "Want to kill me and silence me?"

Then you've made a mistake.

You'd better not have designs on me, or you won't even know how you die.

It would be better to die within the Formation; at least you'd know how you die!

"Attack!"

But Ye Liuyun's words clearly didn't frighten the Black-clothed Persons; one of them let out a shout, and several of them simultaneously launched an attack on Ye Liuyun.

He flipped and leapt out of their attack range.

He handed them over to the lion‑tiger beast to deal with.

However, those Black-clothed Persons were not simple; they were clearly using a combined‑strike Formation.

In the air, each of them also produced an identical shield, together blocking the lion‑tiger beast's attack; after it fell, they again used the shields to clamp the beast.

The daggers in their hands suddenly elongated with True Essence, turning into long swords.

They pressed the lion‑tiger beast with the shields, then simultaneously drew swords, stabbing the beast through the gaps in the shields.

The lion‑tiger beast was trapped between the shields, unable to move, and simultaneously assaulted by seven long swords; it couldn't even decide which to dodge, and the seven swords each pierced its body, it let out a wail and then slowly fell.

"Kill my ferocious beast, and you will pay the price!"

Ye Liuyun said coldly.

And after the lion‑tiger beast fell, those seven people continued to attack Ye Liuyun.

The maid merely watched the spectacle within the Formation she had drawn, offering no assistance.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to watch the fun, only to become the one being watched!"

Ye Liuyun let out a sigh in his heart and could only act helplessly.

He directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, using a single Soul to devour the Souls of those Black-clothed Persons.

The seven Black-clothed elites all inexplicably collapsed, lifeless, before they could reach Ye Liuyun.

"Too weak!"

Ye Liuyun disdainfully curled his lip, used Divine Sense to scan their Storage Rings, and found that besides weapons and some Divine Crystals, there were also the corpses of several ferocious beasts and the bodies of five other Black-clothed Persons.

Among them was a golden roc, clearly the one the maid had previously ridden while chasing him.

It seems the ferocious beasts the woman brought were all taken down by these people.

He packed away those ferocious beast corpses and useful resources, then picked up several daggers and stored them in Space World, letting Tong Xin and the others study whether their own weapons could also be engineered to lengthen.

Afterwards he took a dagger, sliced open the already dead lion‑tiger beast to harvest its meat, and then immediately began roasting the meat nearby.

"Are you here to kill me or to save me?"

The maid, however, asked Ye Liuyun.

He didn't even lift his head and replied, "Nonsense! Do I bear a grudge against you, just to kill you?"

"Or is there something of yours that I find worth?"

The maid, hearing that, relaxed slightly and asked, "Haven't you already left this place?"

"Why did you come back?"

"I go where, what does it have to do with you?"

"Do I still need to report back to you when I return?"

Ye Liuyun retorted, cutting a thigh off the lion‑tiger beast and immediately roasting the meat.

"So I'm saved now, why don't you leave?"

The maid asked Ye Liuyun again.

He almost laughed in exasperation, replying sarcastically, "Are you accustomed to being harmed by others, and when no one harms you you feel uneasy?"

"Does whether I leave have anything to do with you?"

"Is this your family's courtyard?"

"Why must I have to leave?"

"If you want to leave, just leave!"

After saying that, Ye Liuyun ignored him and focused on grilling the meat.

"If we don't leave, more Black-clothed Persons will come later!"

The maid reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Whether there are many or few, taking action against me is courting death! If you're worried, you can leave; after all, they're after you, not me."

"I'm starving; I need to finish eating before I go!"

Ye Liuyun replied indifferently.

The maid fell silent, silently observing Ye Liuyun, and dared not step out of the Formation.

She wasn't sure whether Ye Liuyun was targeting her.

And if she left and met those Black-clothed Persons again, she'd still be in danger; better to stay here and use Ye Liuyun's power to eliminate those Black-clothed Persons for her.

Ye Liuyun grilled earnestly, occasionally sprinkling some seasoning on top.

After it was done, he ate it straight away, not even offering it to the maid.

The maid, seeing Ye Liuyun eat heartily, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

But she glanced at the lion‑tiger beast's corpse, recalled her own ferocious beast, and muttered to herself.

Ye Liuyun pretended not to hear, but his Divine Sense had already detected another twelve Black-clothed Persons pursuing here.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the Black-clothed corpses on the ground, estimating that their Storage Rings have tracking functions.

He calmly stored the lion-tiger beast into the Space World, lest it be destroyed if a fight broke out later, after which there would be no way to roast and eat it.

The maid noticed Ye Liuyun's action and immediately became alert.

She also extended her Divine Sense to investigate, but her Divine Soul Power was too weak, and the black-clothed assassins were far away, so she couldn't detect them at all.

"What did you discover?"

The maid asked Ye Liuyun.

Seeing her nervous look, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why are you so nervous? Just stay honestly in the formation!"

The maid thought that was true; as long as she didn't go out, she would be temporarily safe.

Seeing Ye Liuyun continue eating as if nothing had happened, she thought she had indeed been overly vigilant and relaxed.

Although the black-clothed persons' invisibility ability wasn't very high, it was still easy for them to evade the maid's detection.

Soon, they surrounded the area and then shrank the encirclement.

Ye Liuyun had also finished eating at this point and wiped his hands.

"Just finished eating, time to stretch my bones! Come out, all of you!"

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and shouted toward the surroundings.

It was only then that the maid noticed the black-clothed persons surrounding the area.

Those black-clothed persons no longer hid and immediately jumped out.

Six at the Celestial Being Second Realm and six at the Celestial Being First Realm.

The leading black-clothed person, who was at the Celestial Being Second Realm, glanced at the seven black-clothed corpses on the ground, then at the maid and Ye Liuyun, and asked Ye Liuyun, "Was it you who killed them?"

"Huh?"

"You guessed pretty accurately! How did you know it was me who killed them?"

Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Who are you?"

"And do you know who she is?"

The black-clothed person pointed at the maid and asked Ye Liuyun.

The maid, however, was obviously nervous, afraid of having her identity exposed by them.

"It doesn't matter."

"I have no interest in knowing your messy affairs."

"Either you end up like those corpses on the ground and die here, or you get lost right away!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't be bothered to find out why they were chasing the maid; otherwise, he would have just performed a soul search on them earlier.
