Chapter 2923: Thus we part

Ye Liuyun merely nodded in thanks to Tang Qianyu, then let her go back to cultivate, preparing his true essence for the interception before returning to the Tang Clan, and stopped paying attention to her questions, closing his eyes to continue cultivating.

The more he ignored Tang Qianyu, the more curious she became about him. She was also very dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun's attitude, sat back huffily, and began complaining to Tang Xinyao.

Tang Xinyao could only advise her: "Senior sister, we might still have battles later. With this little time left, we can't even fully restore our true essence. Especially since your injuries have just healed, hurry up and supplement as much true essence as you can! Other matters can wait until we return."

Tang Qianyu, however, was clearly overthinking: "Our operation this time has already been exposed by the An Clan. I fear that even if we return to the clan, this matter won't be over. If the clan elders ask about it, how should I answer if I don't clarify the details?"

Tang Xinyao directly said: "Just say what you know; what you don't know, the elders will naturally ask others."

Tang Qianyu insisted: "What you say is correct, but aren't you curious about the truth? Don't you find Senior Brother Xiaofeng's behavior strange? How strong is his power? So many elders and disciples of the An Clan have suddenly disappeared..."

Tang Xinyao was also speechless, only able to say: "I also want to know. But we have a battle coming up soon; I still need to seize the time to cultivate true essence to get through this immediate crisis."

Hearing that, Tang Qianyu also felt she couldn't delay Tang Xinyao's cultivation. So she stopped nagging, suppressed her doubts, and went to cultivate to recover some true essence.

Before the Spirit Cat Warship returned to the Tang Clan, Ye Liuyun had already stopped cultivating, using his Golden Pupil to stare at the starry sky, searching for the An Clan's interceptors. Indeed, scattered around the planet where the Tang Clan resided were over thirty martial cultivators, whose divine sense enveloped the entire planet.

These martial cultivators were all planted by the An Clan earlier; their strength wasn't great, the strongest being only at the Initial Unity stage. Ye Liuyun didn't take them too seriously, merely informing Tang Xinyao and the others of the enemy's numbers and strength so they could prepare for battle.

"Thirty-plus

"?" Tang Qianyu exclaimed again in surprise.

Due to her lack of focus these days, she hadn't even restored twenty percent of her true essence, while Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao had each recovered sixty percent. As long as those thirty people don't all rush at once, they still have a chance to flee back to the Tang Clan.

Ye Liuyun ignored Tang Qianyu's thoughts, simply saying: "You go back and fight yourselves; I have other matters, I won't return for now."

Then he used the Slave Seal to send a voice transmission to Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao: "After you return, I will release the Slave Seal and restore your freedom. I will never return to the Tang Clan again; I intend to go out and venture. Let us part ways here—take care."

"Ah? You're not returning to the clan? Where are you going?" This time Tang Xinyao also became curious, just like Tang Qianyu.

In their minds, Ye Liuyun was that Tang Xiaofeng of the Tang Clan; if he doesn't return to the Tang Clan, where else could he go!

But Ye Liuyun gave no reply, merely ordering the flying boat to stop, storing the others and the warship into the Space World, then donning the Invisibility Cloak and vanishing before their eyes.

"He just left like that? No explanation at all?" Tang Qianyu was still using her divine sense to desperately search for Ye Liuyun's trace. Brush Fun Library

Tang Xinyao also shook her head helplessly, took out her weapon, and called out to the dazed Tang Qianyu: "Qianyu sister, don't fall behind again this time. Our true essence is also running low; we must kill our way back to the Tang Clan in one go. If you fall behind again, we truly won't be able to save you!"

Upon hearing that, Tang Qianyu gathered her resolve and closely followed Tang Xinyao. Given her ability, she should have been protecting others, but unexpectedly she now needed protection herself.

Thus her self-esteem also suffered a great blow, and she began to indulge in random thoughts again.

Seeing this, Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao both felt deeply helpless; they could only stop again, giving her a preliminary lesson to prevent her from causing trouble during the upcoming battle.

"Huh? Why did we stop?" Tang Qianyu noticed they had halted, only then realizing their gazes were somewhat abnormal.

Tang Hao then spoke bluntly: "Senior sister, we are about to return to the Tang Clan; we certainly won't abandon you. But this stretch of road is certainly not easy; we must exert our full strength to have a chance. However, your current condition,

"will truly drag us down to death!"

Tang Qianyu also knew she lacked focus, apologetically saying: "Sorry for worrying you; rest assured, I won't think wildly anymore, I definitely won't drag you down. If I can't break through, you go ahead and kill your way back to the Tang Clan—don't worry about me."

"Senior sister, rest assured, they're just a few ordinary martial cultivators; as long as we focus together against the enemy, they can't stop us!" Tang Xinyao also advised her.

"Good!" Tang Qianyu finally focused her mind, no longer wandering. Mainly she still didn't want to drag Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao down.

Seeing that Tang Qianyu was no longer thinking wildly, Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance, confirmed it, and then continued onward.

Afterward, the three began to accelerate, charging full force at those martial cultivators.

When those martial cultivators spotted their figures, they immediately summoned others to gather here. But the few martial cultivators before them could not withstand Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao's full-force attack at all; they quickly tore open a gap and killed their way back to the Tang Clan.

Those martial cultivators pursued for a while, but were smashed apart by the remaining treasures; realizing they couldn't catch up, they could only retreat and report to the An Clan.

Ye Liuyun waited until they had completely left, then removed the Invisibility Cloak and resumed his original appearance; he had remained standing in the same spot without moving.

Upon seeing Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao safely return to the Tang Clan, he immediately lifted the Slave Seal on them, then destroyed the Tang Clan token in his hand, and went to find Qin Mengxi.

He had already obtained the heavy treasures of the four clans; it was time to leave. The final task was to send Qin Mengxi back to the Qin Clan.

After Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao felt the Slave Seal on their souls disappear, they exchanged smiles, their moods much lighter. Seeing their expressions, Tang Qianyu not only began to speculate wildly again but also started asking questions.

The Tang Clan elders immediately sought them out, asking about their visit to the An Clan Secret Realm. As for how they would explain it to the clan, Ye Liuyun actually no longer cared—after all, Tang Xiaofeng would never appear in this world again.

Qin Mengxi was currently standing at the chamber of commerce entrance greeting guests. Ye Liuyun spotted her from afar, timidly standing at the back, not daring to step forward to compete for customers, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
