Chapter 325: Changing Peaks

"So you're called Ye Liuyun?"

Among the more than ten people opposite, a young man at the Yuan Dan Eightfold Peak saw Ye Liuyun and couldn't help being a bit surprised.

"Oh? You know me?" Ye Liuyun also found it odd; he hadn't expected anyone here to know him.

"Who would have thought the Ye Liuyun who caused such a stir in the south is also in our Northern Region Alliance!" the young man laughed.

The more than ten people with him also began to scrutinize Ye Liuyun seriously.

"Who are you?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"I am from the Liu Clan of the Central Region. I am Liu Xuanyu, ranked 238th on the Holy List. I am also a member of Duan Tian Pavilion!"

The young man said proudly. His background and title indeed gave him cause for pride.

But Ye Liuyun paid no mind. He simply asked lightly, "So you came to represent Duan Tian Pavilion?"

Liu Xuanyu, seeing Ye Liuyun's calm expression, felt both surprised and doubtful. He didn't answer the question but asked, "I heard you have a Kuailei of the Heavenly Gang Realm nearby; is that true?"

Ye Liuyun merely smiled. "Just try it and you'll know!"

"Pretending to be mysterious!" Liu Xuanyu said, though he dared not strike Ye Liuyun directly. He then ordered a Yuan Dan Sixth Layer Alliance member beside him, "Go test his strength!"

The man, upon hearing this, wore an unwilling expression but dared not defy the order, so he stepped forward to challenge Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the man's realm, which was exactly the Yuan Dan Sixth Layer Peak—the strongest realm he could handle without using his Soul. He then turned to Lin Feier and said, "You watch the fun for a while while I move around!"

Lin Feier, knowing he was about to practice, nodded, stepped back and gave him space. …

Ye Liuyun's opponent, fearing he might unleash a Kuailei of the Heavenly Gang Realm, struck with his strongest attack: a punch infused with metallic True Essence, hurling it at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun responded with the fourth move of Overbearing Heaven Fist, Thunder Fire Breaks the Realm, blasting him fiercely.

The reason Ye Liuyun used the fourth move was to avoid killing him outright.

A deafening boom shook the entire space, dust and smoke billowed, sand and stones flew. A silhouette was flung toward Liu Xuanyu, crashing in front of him and wailing incessantly. His whole arm was shattered by Ye Liuyun's blast.

When the dust cleared, Ye Liuyun stood upright before the crowd, showing no sign of injury.

"Too weak!"

Ye Liuyun said mockingly.

The members of Duan Tian Pavilion all stepped back two paces, fearing Liu Xuanyu might summon them again. None of them could match Ye Liuyun.

The Bloodline Power unleashed by Ye Liuyun's punch made Liu Xuanyu feel the pressure.

He clearly sensed that Ye Liuyun's realm was Yuan Dan Second Layer, yet a single punch could blast a Yuan Dan Sixth Layer Peak. That seemed unbelievable to him.

Nevertheless, to deal with him, Ye Liuyun still had a gap; he was at Yuan Dan Eightfold Peak, two layers higher than the one just knocked away by Ye Liuyun.

To prevent Ye Liuyun from using the Skeleton Puppet, he sent a Transmission Voice to the crowd: "Attack him together and kill him instantly!"

Immediately, the people around him all struck Ye Liuyun simultaneously. Meanwhile, Liu Xuanyu seized the chance to claw at Lin Feier! If Ye Liuyun released the Skeleton Puppet, he could use Lin Feier as a hostage to threaten Ye Liuyun.

"Shameless!"

Ye Liuyun let out a cold snort; the Thunder Fire Domain enveloped all of them and launched a joint attack. The attacks the crowd had just launched, he braced with his body.

In an instant, boom after boom rang out as various forces slammed into Ye Liuyun, shredding all his clothing.

Ye Liuyun couldn't attend to everything; he was busy devouring their Souls, but this time he didn't consume them all at once. He intended to keep them alive so others would see and stop bothering him.

Lin Feier was also shocked; she hadn't expected Liu Xuanyu to ambush her, but the attack vanished instantly, presumably because Ye Liuyun launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

But everyone's attacks still slammed into Ye Liuyun. In her haste, she couldn't worry about danger and rushed toward Ye Liuyun. Seeing his clothes turned to ash, she thought he was certainly dead and anxiously bit her lip as she lunged.

But when she reached Ye Liuyun, she found he was fine. At that moment he was completely naked, being held by her.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, not knowing what to do.

Ye Liuyun, having finished devouring their Souls, was about to put on his clothes and incapacitate them when he realized he was being held by Lin Feier.

"Um… could I put my clothes on first?" Ye Liuyun asked awkwardly.

"Ah!" Lin Feier squealed, quickly turned her back and covered her face with her hand.

Ye Liuyun took out his clothes, put them on, and then went to incapacitate those people one by one.

Liu Xuanyu, seeing Ye Liuyun approach, strained to say, "My back is the Liu Clan, one of the four great families! Moreover, many of our clan are in the Northern Region Alliance. My cousin Liu Xinwu is the second‑in‑command of Duan Tian Pavilion!"

Ye Liuyun ignored him, stepped on his dantian, and instantly burst his Yuan Dan.

"Do you think I'd be afraid? You know me far too little! You scum, today the Heavenly King himself has arrived, and I will also incapacitate you!"

"You… you actually dare to incapacitate me? My cousin won't let you go!" Liu Xuanyu shouted hoarsely.

Ye Liuyun's mouth curled upward, and instantly four Golden Crow Holy Fires shot toward his limbs!

"Enjoy it slowly!"

Saying that, he walked toward the others. Behind him, Liu Xuanyu's wailing echoed. After disabling them all, Ye Liuyun collected their vital blood and seized their Storage Rings.

"Demon! You're a demon!" someone shouted, unable to endure the torment.

"I'm a demon? If I fell into your hands, it would be worse, wouldn't it? Dealing with you scum, any cruelty is justified."

The wailing attracted a Metal Puppet from the Grand Hall nearby. Ye Liuyun immediately said to the Metal Puppet, "I have defeated him; take me to his peak!"

"Yes!" the Metal Puppet replied, then led Ye Liuyun and Lin Feier toward Liu Xuanyu's peak.

While walking, he said to Ye Liuyun, "Congratulations, your Holy List ranking has advanced again; you are now 238th. The peak you will obtain is also the 55th highest peak within the Alliance."

When they arrived, the Metal Puppet drove away the locals, handing the Formation's control Token to Ye Liuyun. Afterwards, Ye Liuyun returned the control Token of his original peak's Formation to the Metal Puppet.

Then he, with Lin Feier, tidied the place briefly and settled in.

Lin Feier, still flushed, asked, "Weren't you injured just now? Want some healing pills? I'm afraid they'll soon come looking for trouble!"

She was worried about Ye Liuyun's injury; without recovery, future battles would put him at a disadvantage.

"I'm fine! You just go into seclusion and cultivate. With me here, you needn't worry about anything!" Ye Liuyun said casually.

Lin Feier felt a warmth in her heart. She thought that as long as she stayed by Ye Liuyun, an inexplicable sense of safety would remain, and there was no need to fear unknown dangers.

So she immediately began cultivating, hoping to quickly raise her realm to aid Ye Liuyun.
