Chapter 317: Just a Holy Son

Early in the morning, the Xue Ge Master ordered someone to deliver the Corpse Demon Crystal Core that had been sent to the Shuiyue Tower.

Ye Liuyun paid with a Crystal Stone, then said farewell to the tower owner, led the group out of the Shuiyue Tower, and rushed toward the Western Region where Corpse Demons were rampant.

Before departing, Ye Liuyun and Lin Feier used a Teleportation Array Disc to record the coordinates of this place.

"Little brother, what about that pervert from yesterday? Did we just let him go?" Lei Ming hadn't even forgotten the matter.

"He's waiting for us outside the city; you all get ready to fight!"

As soon as Ye Liuyun left the Shuiyue Tower, he already spotted the tailing guard. So after leaving the city they never launched the Flying Boat, but proceeded at a leisurely pace. They kept walking until they entered the encirclement set up by Xiao Liang and his men, then finally stopped.

"I won't intervene today; see how you handle it yourselves. But you'll all have to fight across realms!" Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense swept the area and found the highest opponent was only an elder at Yuan Dan Sixfold, so assigning him to Lei Ming should be fine.

He should give Lei Ming some pressure; otherwise she'll lack motivation to cultivate.

Xiao Liang and his group all stepped forward. "I was a Zi Card VIP at Wanbaoge, what a big shot—turns out I'm just a kid!"

Ye Liuyun ignored him and silently sent a Transmission Voice to Wu Qingcheng: "This one's yours. He's at Yuan Dan First Realm, just broke through, perfect for you to practice. I'll protect you, don't be afraid—go kill him."

"Kill him? He's the Holy Son of Qingfeng Academy!" Wu Qingcheng feared causing trouble for Ye Liuyun.

"Kill! He's just a Holy Son, what's there to worry about!" Ye Liuyun replied confidently.

Wu Qingcheng calmly walked toward Xiao Liang. "Hehe, beautiful, have you finally seen sense and come willingly?" Xiao Liang showed no concern upon seeing her approach.

Although Wu Qingcheng concealed her realm with a treasure, he remembered that yesterday her realm was Ninth Sea Transformation, not yet Yuan Dan, so it was lower than his.

At that moment, Wu Qingcheng's face was icy, exuding a bone‑deep chill. A single glance felt like falling into an ice cavern.

"You scum, you don't deserve to live!"

With each step she took, the cold around her intensified, yet her posture remained exquisitely graceful, causing those beside Xiao Liang to stare in awe.

At that moment, Xiao Liang felt as if he were on an ice plain; an ice statue before him was slowly advancing. His own body began to freeze, his True Essence starting to solidify.

He also sensed that he had entered an Illusion Realm, and even his Divine Sense seemed frozen.

Helplessness, despair, coldness—these were his final sensations.

Immediately, his consciousness blurred, and he no longer knew what happened next!

"I am the Holy Son! I am the Holy Son!"

Everyone heard him repeat the phrase over and over until his voice faded, his eyes still showing desperate terror.

Xiao Liang's body was not frozen; it was his Soul that was encased, and his Soul had already been shattered and cracked.

"His Soul has grown considerably; dealing with a Yuan Dan First Realm should be no problem. Even against a weaker Yuan Dan Second Realm, he could at least hold his own," Ye Liuyun silently assessed Wu Qingcheng's strength, impressed by her progress.

"That woman killed the Young Master!" an Elder at Yuan Dan Sixfold, the highest realm present, reacted first, letting out a sharp shout that jolted everyone awake from the Illusion Realm.

At that moment they all looked at Xiao Liang and saw his whole body had become rigid.

"Young Master… dead?" Those who had come with Xiao Liang were all shocked.

The highest‑realm Elder roared, "Our Young Master is the Holy Son of Qingfeng Academy! If you killed him, the academy won't let you go!"

"He's just a waste; dead is dead! It's not our first time killing a Holy Son!" Lei Ming sneered, then lunged at the elder; as his body leapt, he instantly transformed into a Thunder Dragon Beast, and several Blood Thunder bolts surged toward the elder.

Bai Hu and Shi Yuan also assumed their true forms, charging at Martial Cultivators a realm above their own.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er each rushed to slay a Martial Cultivator at Yuan Dan First Realm and Ninth Sea Transformation respectively. Ru Yue charged at several guards of Sixth and Seventh Sea Transformation.

Lin Feier was also shocked by Wu Qingcheng's power; she hadn't expected the usually gentle and elegant Wu Qingcheng to have such a ruthless side.

She then drew her sword and attacked a Martial Cultivator of Yuan Dan Third Realm.

Everyone was fighting across levels, while Ye Liuyun stood still, surveying the whole scene, ready to use a Spiritual Soul Attack to rescue them at any moment.

A few Martial Cultivators of the Sea Transformation realm rushed toward Ye Liuyun, but before they could get within a hundred zhang of him, they all fell dead.

The Yuan Dan Sixfold Elder, while battling Lei Ming, also observed the fight. Seeing that Ye Liuyun could easily kill a Xiao family disciple from afar with a Soul attack, he immediately realized they had hit a dead end.

"You've already slain our Young Master; do you intend to wipe us out completely? How about we stop and discuss?" the Elder said, seeking to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.

"A bunch of dead men, there's nothing to discuss! Not only you, but even your Xiao family will be wiped out after today! If you blame anyone, blame that useless Young Master of yours for provoking the wrong people!"

Ye Liuyun's voice was icy, showing no intention of sparing them.

The Elder, seeing this, felt a chill in his heart and immediately thought of fleeing back to his clan to report.

But suddenly, the Soul of a Hell Mingshe appeared behind him. "Old thing, if you dare run, I'll swallow you whole!" the Hell Mingshe threatened.

The elder was startled. While dazed, he was struck by a Blood Thunder from Lei Ming and fell from the sky. Lei Ming kept pressing, chasing to continue the assault.

"Who are you? Stop! We're willing to compensate!" the Elder pleaded while parrying.

"Too late! I've killed you; everything yours is now mine!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"I'll go all out against you!" he said, unleashing a massive amount of Divine Sense toward Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun, however, paid him no mind; the Ten Thousand Gods Command instantly devoured his Divine Sense.

"Ah!" This time the elder's attack released a huge amount of Divine Sense, and the backlash was severe; his aura immediately waned.

Lei Ming, heedless, launched a fierce barrage!

"Ah! Xiao Liang, you disaster star, you've driven me to death! I won't accept it!" the elder finally roared in helpless anger, then was engulfed by Lei Ming's barrage of Blood Thunder.

The others were the same, being pressed down by Ye Liuyun's group, falling one after another. Those who tried to flee had their Souls instantly devoured by the Hell Mingshe.

"Little brother, if I fight again, you can't step in; I won't get any fun!" Lei Ming complained discontentedly.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "Don't rush; we'll head to the Xiao family now. You can seize all their assets!"

As he spoke, he performed a Soul Search on a surviving guard, locating the Xiao family's base. After the group eliminated everyone, Ye Liuyun also collected the essence blood of several individuals above the Holy Realm, then led his men to rush toward the Xiao family.
