Chapter 2906: Incredible

Ye Liuyun directly applied to the Steward of the Mission Hall to undertake the mission of killing the Wan family's lurking strongmen.

He also thought this was a perfect chance to use the Tang family's help to retaliate against the Wan family's pursuit of him.

"You? Alone?" the Steward said upon hearing Ye Liuyun's request, thinking he had misheard.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun even handed over his Token for registration.

"You're not joking, are you?" the Steward asked again.

A Sevenfold Sovereign disciple going alone to slay over a hundred Unified Realm strongmen is no wonder the Steward found it unbelievable.

If he hadn't produced the Token of an elite inner sect disciple, the Steward probably would have slapped him away.

Ye Liuyun understood his thinking and explained: "I have some high-level ferocious beasts as helpers!"

The Steward immediately glanced at Lei Ming perched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, seeing that she was of the Zhuanzai Eightfold realm, and still could not believe it. In his view, without a Unified Third Layer beast, the mission would be impossible.

"It's not that," Ye Liuyun had to clarify further, though there was no need to actually display his power.

"Fine then, since you insist on this mission, I can register you. But know that failing three consecutive missions incurs family punishment!"

In the end, seeing Ye Liuyun's persistence, the Steward registered him, yet still reminded him lest the young disciple take it lightly out of boredom.

"Disciple understands!" Ye Liuyun said seriously.

The Steward said nothing more, asked his name, and proceeded with registration.

"Tang Xiaofeng!" he replied immediately.

"Tang Xiaofeng? The disciple Fifth Elder recently recruited into the inner sect?" the Steward was very surprised upon hearing the name.

During this period, among the Tang family leadership and Elders, the name Tang Xiaofeng had already spread. The disciple especially favored by the Fifth Elder would certainly be valued by all Elders. However, once he entered the inner sect, he stayed training in the Secret Realm, so few knew him.

The Steward was also puzzled, not knowing what craze the Fifth Elder's disciple was in.

He thought to himself, "Could he really be that strong?"

Ye Liuyun, also unsure whether the Fifth Elder had recently recruited new disciples, said, "It was the Fifth Elder who brought me into the inner sect."

The Steward examined him again, said nothing further, and recorded his name. He then handed over the detailed mission information, which listed all the Wan family strongmen's data, including appearance and strength.

"It seems the Tang family had already investigated these people thoroughly and deliberately left them for disciples to practice on, yet they thought they were well hidden!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself, laughing that the Wan family's scheme had been uncovered.

After noting the information, he left the Tang family and rushed toward Xingkong. He didn't head straight for the Wan family strongmen; instead he circled in another direction first, then donned the Invisibility Cloak to approach them.

On the way, he had already devised a plan, ordering Li Daoyuan and Ye Tiandao's Unified Realm strongmen to prepare for battle.

The only allies suitable for combat were his Clone, Black Tiger, and Purple Qilin. The Purple Qilin had just broken through to Unified First Layer, perfect for reinforcement. Magic Vine and Black Mountain were unsuitable against the Martial Cultivators here, as they could be harmed by their Buddha Light Power.

He also instructed everyone to try to trap those people and hand them over to him for practice. He had just finished cultivating Heaven and Earth Power, making it a good chance to test its results against the Wan family strongmen in real combat.

When Ye Liuyun approached the Wan family, he suddenly released over two hundred Unified Realm strongmen, removed his Invisibility Cloak, and charged at a Zhuanzai Yichong Martial Cultivator.

He first used his palm, channeling Heaven and Earth Power without any other force, and slammed toward a Unified Realm Martial Cultivator.

The Martial Cultivator felt the palm's force and retaliated with a full‑force palm, yet even that could not block Ye Liuyun's attack, causing him to step back several paces.

"The effect is quite good!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected such a result, and immediately again channeled Heaven and Earth Power to strike that Martial Cultivator.

He suddenly felt that only now did he regain Mo Tianheng's former bearing, where a light palm strike would leave the opponent unable to resist.

The Clone did the same, focusing on a Unified First Layer Martial Cultivator and continuously employing Heaven and Earth Power to attack.

Black Tiger, whose Soul and Physical Body were both robust, swiftly annihilated one opponent and moved on to another. Purple Qilin would use Time Power to kill a foe after a short bout, then switch to the next.

The Wan family was stunned by the sudden assault, and Ye Liuyun's side had twice as many strongmen, completely surrounding them.

The Unified Second Layer Martial Cultivator leading the Wan family still grappled with Li Daoyuan, questioning his origins while fighting, but Li Daoyuan said nothing, focusing on combat to avoid revealing any flaw.

There were also more than ten Unified First Layer Martial Cultivators surrounding them, preventing that Wan family strongman from escaping.

Ye Liuyun and the Clone grew stronger with each strike, mastering Heaven and Earth Power, and soon forced the opponent to cough up blood, leaving others to finish the kill.

He and the Clone fought the Unified Second Layer Martial Cultivator, while Li Daoyuan led his men to prevent its escape.

"Sevenfold Sovereign?" the Wan family's Unified Second Layer Martial Cultivator was both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected two Sevenfold Sovereign Martial Cultivators to dare challenge him.

But once they engaged, he was astonished; Ye Liuyun and his Clone needed no other power—just Heaven and Earth Power—to match him evenly.

As the fight continued, Ye Liuyun and his Clone found their Heaven and Earth Power flowing more smoothly, even strengthening under the pressure of strong opponents. The Clone no longer needed to act, seeking other foes, leaving Ye Liuyun alone to use Heaven and Earth Power against the Unified Second Layer Martial Cultivator.

This made the Martial Cultivator even more shocked, and the more he fought, the more he feared being at a loss, his eyes darting around for an escape route.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately drew the Demon Slaying Sword, its blade intent merging again with Heaven and Earth Power, completely suppressing the strongman so he could not escape. He unleashed blade after blade at full force, finally cleaving the strongman on the spot.

This result surprised him greatly. Previously, as long as a strongman's True Essence wasn't depleted, his attacks couldn't threaten them. Now his attacks could finally kill strongmen of this realm.

The others' battles also ended quickly. With superior numbers, two or three of them could take down one opponent; the Wan family people were no match for them.
