Chapter 290: No Matter What

When the Elder heard Ye Liuyun say he would Soul Search, he trembled all over in fright.

"Young Master Ye, what do you mean?" the Elder still pretended to be calm.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "Elder, why do you think I left you alone? Elder, we are all reasonable people; if you keep pretending to be clueless, it will be pointless! My patience is limited, you know!"

The Elder was helpless; she didn't want Ye Liuyun to Soul Search. Who knows whether his Soul Searching Technique would harm anyone. Moreover, if he Soul Searches, many of her secrets would be exposed before Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, she had to say, "Young Master is getting married!"

"What!" Ye Liuyun sprang to his feet. Then, without caring about anything, he immediately began the Soul Search.

With his current Soul strength, the Elder had no power to resist.

After Ye Liuyun found the information about Liang Xue's upcoming marriage, he stopped.

He also ignored the Elder of the Water Moon Palace, directly summoned fifty of the strongest ferocious beasts and sent them into the Grand Hall. Then, after sealing the Grand Hall, he took Lei Ming and rushed straight out of the academy.

Outside the academy, he released a Flying Boat and, following the map in the Elder's Sea of Consciousness, hurried toward the Wanbaoge where Liang Xue was.

On the way, Lei Ming and several women asked Ye Liuyun what had happened, and Ye Liuyun told them, "Liang Xue's father wants her to marry a son of a Great Clan. The wedding will be held two days from now. We can still make it if we hurry."

"Huh?" the women were momentarily stunned.

"Do you know who she's supposed to marry?" Wu Qingcheng asked.

"I don't know, just that it's a son of the Jin Family!" At this moment Ye Liuyun's mind was in chaos, wishing he could instantly fly to Liang Xue's side.

No wonder he hasn't been able to contact Liang Xue these past days; she must have resisted, then been controlled, and had the Transmission Talisman taken away.

"Could it be the Jin Family where Jin Wuyi belongs?" Lei Ming asked.

"If it's Jin Wuyi causing trouble, I'll make sure he dies without a burial place!" After Lei Ming's reminder, Ye Liuyun became a bit clearer.

Wu Qingcheng and the others knew they couldn't dissuade Ye Liuyun, so they handed over all the Spirit Stones they had collected these days to Ye Liuyun. m.

Wanbaoge, the Water Moon Palace, and the Jin Family are all not minor forces. With Ye Liuyun heading there, it will likely be a great battle, and the Skeleton Puppet may be used.

Ye Liuyun also inspected the Skeleton Puppet, and gave it a giant axe and a long sword—both spirit weapons obtained in the Xuan Kong Secret Realm—to serve as its weapons. Qiong Qi had previously taught the Skeleton Puppet a set of axe techniques and several sword techniques; if the puppet uses them, its combat power will increase.

The women, seeing Ye Liuyun act so recklessly, were extremely worried for him.

Fortunately, after a day, Ye Liuyun gradually calmed down and began devising a plan.

He even prepared the Formation Flag that Qiong Qi had originally given him, in case of being surrounded by many experts.

"Don't worry, I've made thorough preparations; nothing will go wrong!" at this moment Ye Liuyun was actually comforting the other women.

In the time that followed, he took out the Crystal Stone and the Wukong Stone he had obtained from the Blood Demon Sect, both filled with bloodline power, and simultaneously comprehended spatial power while absorbing the bloodline's strength.

This battle might require the Lingkong Art, so he hurried to further comprehend it. Moreover, he entered the independent space of the Xuan Kong Stone to do so, giving him ample time.

At this moment, the Wanbaoge headquarters was festooned with lanterns and banners, guests filling the doors.

Many great sects had received invitations, but the Holy Martial Academy was deliberately forgotten.

Even Mo Ya of the Ancient Demon Sect came to offer congratulations.

After Mo Ya arrived, he began looking around.

A disciple beside him saw this and asked, "Senior brother, who are you looking for?"

"Ye Liuyun!" Mo Ya replied offhandedly.

"Huh? He's coming too?" The disciple hadn't seen Ye Liuyun before, but had recently heard rumors about him, and asked excitedly.

"Given his nature, if he knows, he'll definitely come! And when he does, it'll truly be a lively spectacle!" Mo Ya, having not found Ye Liuyun, sat down bored, but kept his eyes fixed on the doorway.

The one who most hoped for Ye Liuyun's appearance was Liang Xue. But she knew her father had sealed off information from the Holy Martial Academy. Thinking that Ye Liuyun still didn't know she was to be married made her tears spill.

"Younger brother, Sister Liang apologizes, she can't accompany you beyond the realm!"

She whispered this silently in her heart.

"Young Master, why are you crying again? Today is your joyous day!" a maid nearby hurriedly urged.

"Get out!" Liang Xue shouted, causing the maid to run away trembling and crawling.

Liang Xue's father, the master of Wanbaoge and the behind-the-scenes boss of the Water Moon Sect, happened to come to fetch Liang Xue. Seeing this, he shook his head and sighed, "Xue'er, I hope you can understand father's difficulties; I, too, am forced to act!"

Liang Xue remained silent, not even looking at him, her mind only on Ye Liuyun.

She had no recollection of how she was dragged out of the room, covered, or pushed into the hall; only Ye Liuyun's figure filled her mind.

Inside the Grand Hall, in the area occupied by the Jin Family, Jin Wuyi was busy flattering the groom. "Cousin Jin Peng! Congratulations, you've won a beauty! Don't forget your junior when the time comes!"

"Don't worry! This will be a great achievement for you. If there's a chance, I'll recommend you to the elders so you can also cultivate at the Jin Family's main vein!" Jin Peng replied casually.

"Then I'll thank you first, cousin!" Jin Wuyi quickly expressed gratitude, his face showing a smug expression.

"Hmph, Ye Liuyun, I dared to insult you! Watch how I torment you! Now your beloved woman has been taken by another; when you find out, what expression will you have? As for me, I'm heading to the main vein to cultivate, and then I'll become an entity you cannot provoke!"

It turned out that on the night Jin Wuyi left the Divine Sword Palace, he used the information he had gathered on Ye Liuyun to recommend Liang Xue to someone in the Jin Family's main vein, hoping Ye Liuyun would regret offending him. Since he couldn't deal with Ye Liuyun directly, he resorted to targeting those around Ye Liuyun.

When dealing with the disciples of the Lingyun Pavilion, Jin Wuyi feared angering the academy and bringing trouble to his clan. That's why he devised this poisonous scheme, which can break Ye Liuyun's heart; later, when Ye Liuyun takes action, he won't be able to...

Upon learning this, Jin Peng of the Jin Family took great interest, immediately had his master pressure Wanbaoge, causing the Wanbaoge master to agree to the marriage.

Moreover, Jin Peng is somewhat famous in the Northern Realm, known as the Little Pill King, and he studied under the renowned Pill King Liu Congfeng.

The only thing is that Ye Liuyun had never ventured south of the Holy Martial Academy, so he was unfamiliar with that area. In fact, the southern end of the Northern Realm is more prosperous in martial ways than its northern end.

At this moment, many people stepped forward to congratulate Wanbaoge master Liang Yue and Pill King Liu Congfeng, praising the two newlyweds as a perfect match of talent and beauty.

Only Mo Ya, with a look of enjoying a good show, watched the happenings outside the gate.

"He can't really be unaware, can he? If he knows, that's fine. If it truly becomes a done deal, the Jin Family and the Liang Family would be completely slaughtered by him!"
