Chapter 3067: All Counter‑Kill

He Lingwu also knows he cannot obtain any resources, intends to vent his anger and then return, not wanting to waste more time with Ye Liuyun.

This exactly matches Yu Wenqiang's intention. Letting He Lingwu try is better than he himself adventuring.

"Fine then, but don't kill him outright, lest he hide the thing inside the Space World." He only reminded He Lingwu, not letting him kill Ye Liuyun directly.

Ye Liuyun is too lazy to waste words with them any longer. Since they have already set the net themselves and brought it to his door, he should close the net, and the people before him are perfect for practice.

So he immediately slapped a palm toward the approaching He Lingwu.

"Hmph, still daring to strike back…"

He Lingwu saw Ye Liuyun's True Essence surging; at first he wore a scornful face, but when Ye Liuyun's palm struck, not only he but everyone sensed something was wrong.

The Heaven and Earth Power carried in Ye Liuyun's palm was too strong; it seemed he casually waved his hand, but its force far exceeded what He Lingwu could endure.

But He Lingwu was too close to Ye Liuyun; even if others tried to rescue, they were too late.

With a "Boom," He Lingwu was slammed by Ye Liuyun's palm into the ground, his body shattered, and he immediately fell unconscious.

The two guards behind him rushed first to rescue He Lingwu, but Ye Liuyun followed with a sweeping Yi Dao, cutting the two guards at the waist into halves.

The woman, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, turned and tried to flee with her men.

"Only now do you want to leave? Too late!"

Ye Liuyun snorted coldly, then released snow wolves and Metal Puppet, blocking their retreat.

When the pressure of the Ninefold Strong appeared, the remaining people lacked the courage even to act.

"I'm the local garrison Leader, I have five thousand soldiers of the Gu Yi realm under my command…" Yu Wenqiang still tried to threaten Ye Liuyun with his forces. Unfortunately, his reinforcements hadn't arrived yet.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for him to finish, immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on him. In Yu Wenqiang's Sea of Consciousness there was no Divine Soul Contract, so Ye Liuyun placed a Slave Seal on him without hesitation.

Then he also performed a Soul Search, learning that Yu Wenqiang had no real background, only being the son of a president of the Huo Yin Star System, and thus cared even less.

He immediately ordered him to return to the garrison, then led troops to raid the merchant guild. The guild had added insult to injury, and Ye Liuyun would not let them go. The two soldiers Yu Wenqiang brought, Ye Liuyun did not spare; he used them for practice, blasting them with Heaven and Earth Power.

Then the woman, merely a relative of the City Lord who ran a tavern in the city, was not spared; Ye Liuyun killed her and the guards she brought.

Feng Cheng An and Hong Bo, seeing Ye Liuyun disregard the garrison Leader and the Chengzhu Fu, and even plan to raid the merchant guild, were terrified, thinking this lone cultivator's nerve was indeed great.

But they thought Ye Liuyun left the two of them alive not because he dared not kill them, but because after wiping out everyone else he would release them to save face.

So Feng Cheng An immediately said: "Since your strength is so great, we'll stop here! Fortunately you haven't suffered any loss, and there's no need to go against our Chen family, right?"

Speaking that, he tucked away the Formation Plate that sealed the void, intending to leave at once.

"Do I agree to let you go?" Ye Liuyun laughed dumbly, feeling that Feng Cheng An really took him seriously.

"How? You still want to strike at me?" Feng Cheng An hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to still have designs on him. He only thought Ye Liuyun would take the chance to extort him, not to kill him.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled, then immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

"Hmph!" Feng Cheng An snorted coldly. Though he was only an outer‑door Steward and not adept at forging, the Chen family valued the cultivation of Divine Soul Power.

And Ye Liuyun daring to launch a Spiritual Soul Attack on him, only releasing a Soul, made him unconcerned. He even thought he might counter‑kill Ye Liuyun.

But he didn't expect the Soul Ye Liuyun released to instantly transform into a soul blade, instantly slashing one of his Souls.

"Stop, I'm an Elder of the Chen family!" Feng Cheng An's remaining Soul still threatened Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun directly performed the Soul Searching Technique, learning some information about the Chen family.

The Chen family indeed is the top forging family in the Huo Yin Star System, according to Feng Cheng An,

The Chen family also found opportunity in the desolate sea, learned higher‑level forging techniques, and then developed.

Other forgers in the Huo Yin Star System also learned their techniques by copying and studying the artifacts forged by the Chen family. Moreover, the Chen family cultivated many strong ones, gradually attracting numerous Martial Cultivators, turning the clan into a large Sect management model. Thus their strength is not only in forging but also in personal power.

Their status in the Huo Yin Star System is indeed significant; even the Fire Seal Dynasty dares not offend them. Besides the Chen family, there are the Xu Dan Sect, focused on alchemy, and the Wan Hua Sect, focused on formations, the three most important forces in the Huo Yin Star System. The advancement of forging and alchemy has also boosted the Martial Cultivators' strength here.

Thus these three major forces have a wide network in the Huo Yin Star System; everyone gives them face, they lack no resources, and they never fight other cultivators for resources in the desolate sea.

However, the Chen family does not easily accept external disciples; at most they take in external Elders or the offspring of strong ones, so forging techniques do not leak. Ye Liuyun's idea of sending Tong Xin and other forgers to learn forging is probably hard to realize.

In the Chen family's Sea of Consciousness, there are also loyalty contracts to the clan. Ye Liuyun thought controlling a single outer‑door Steward was of little use, so with another Soul punch, he blasted Feng Cheng An's remaining Soul, then transformed into a Sky‑devouring Beast, absorbing all its Soul fragments.

He cares not for any great power; as long as he changes his appearance, no one can find him.

After dealing with Feng Cheng An, Ye Liuyun turned to Hong Bo, but Hong Bo, seeing Ye Liuyun even dared to kill Feng Cheng An, immediately knelt and begged for mercy, offering to become Ye Liuyun's servant in exchange for his life.

He also produced a true ninth‑grade marrow‑washing pill, presenting it to Ye Liuyun.

"You're an Elder of the Xu Dan Sect, yet you aren't completely obstinate!" Ye Liuyun smiled, took his pill, thinking Hong Bo reacted quickly; if he has no other designs, Ye Liuyun could let him go.

Thus he didn't rush to act, but performed a Soul Search on him.

But what he didn't expect was that Hong Bo was actually an impostor Elder of the Xu Dan Sect.
