Chapter 3410: Escort the Savior Child

Zhao Yuanpei initially encountered a few Taixu Fourth Tier Martial Cultivators, and under his and the guards' combined effort, they were easily slain.

Now his courage grew even more; he pressed further inward, and soon the guards began to suffer casualties.

But Zhao Yuanpei didn't care at all about the soldiers' lives; he wanted to find stronger Martial Cultivators, to see if he could kill them or capture a few slaves to bring back as his own bodyguards.

When they truly met a Taixu Fourth Tier Peak strongman, he realized how great his gap was. That strongman alone wiped out nearly half of their guards.

Only after Zhao Yuanpei used a life‑saving treasure could they defeat that strongman. Yet at that moment they realized they had gone too far; entering was easy, but returning was difficult.

As soon as they turned to leave, they were intercepted by other Taixu Fourth Tier Martial Cultivators; the number of guards kept dwindling, and their True Essence was nearly exhausted.

In the end Zhao Yuanpei was injured by a Martial Cultivator, forcing him to pull out a Formation Plate for defense while calling for aid from Hao Tai.

Hao Tai immediately ordered the resting Xiao Han army to rush over and escort the Savior Child. He thought this was a heaven‑sent opportunity, a chance for Ye Liuyun to prove himself.

Ye Liuyun and his companions had mostly recovered by then; after receiving the order, they could only follow Xiao Han with their troops and hurry over.

"What a damn Savior Child, incompetent and causing trouble. Not only does he add chaos for us, but we have to rescue him!" Liao Yaotian complained discontentedly.

"They're just prodigals of great powers; without a background they're nothing!" Qiang Shi echoed.

"Stop complaining, you lot; after all, background is part of strength! Ye Liuyun, lead them forward and take a look!" Xiao Han immediately let Ye Liuyun lead a group ahead.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun replied, saying nothing more, simply carrying out the order; even if he were a dog, he would go to rescue.

This time he also brought an extra fifty guards, fearing they might lack manpower.

They had previously experienced this: entering was easy, but on the way out, the strong ones would intercept, taking advantage of their heavy consumption to pick off the weak.

Their party set off at once. Their advance was indeed swift; they did not proactively attack the Martial Cultivators, and the Martial Cultivators did not provoke such a large group.

It wasn't until Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected Zhao Yuanpei. By then Zhao Yuanpei was left with only a dozen guards, barely holding on with the Formation Plate. Around him were more than ten Taixu Fourth Tier Martial Cultivators.

These Martial Cultivators also realized Zhao Yuanpei's identity was no ordinary matter, and sought to capture him alive for ransom.

Ye Liuyun's group rushed forward, and those people also noticed them. Seeing their low realms, they did not retreat but stayed put, intending to eliminate Ye Liuyun's party as well.

Zhao Yuanpei, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's group, merely curled his lip, thinking their realms were too low to save him; he guessed they were merely the vanguard scouts of some army sent to die, buying him temporary delay against the Martial Cultivators' assault.

Thus he immediately sent a Transmission Voice to those nearby, telling them that once Ye Liuyun's party charged in, they would seize the chance to flee, letting Ye Liuyun's group hold off the strong ones for them.

Although they might not escape far, they could get a bit closer to the main army, making subsequent rescue easier.

Ye Liuyun hadn't anticipated his scheme. While leading the group forward, he also assigned tasks to everyone.

"We can use our treasures to block half the Martial Cultivators; the rest we leave to them. I'll then release two golden dragon Kuailei to shield everyone; that should hold for a while.

If that fails, we can hide inside the Formation Plate and try to stalemate those Martial Cultivators."

The others didn't think much, followed Ye Liuyun's allocation, and after charging forward, each brandished their treasure, desperately carving a breach and guarding the two sides of the Formation Plate.

Ye Liuyun also released two Kuailei golden dragons, shielding the people on both sides. He even unleashed a soul source to attack

a Martial Cultivator, quickly planting a Slave Seal on him.

But at that moment, Zhao Yuanpei also retrieved his Formation Plate and charged forward with his men.

Ye Liuyun thought he would merge forces with them, and immediately ordered troops to hold the Martial Cultivators behind.

In fact, Zhao Yuanpei simply fled with those guards.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun's party became the sacrificial lambs surrounded in their place.

Ye Liuyun's group's pressure suddenly surged. The Martial Cultivators, seeing Zhao Yuanpei flee, immediately aimed to eliminate Ye Liuyun's party and then pursue.

"Damned! These bastards, damn Savior Child, actually using us as sacrificial lambs!" Liao Yaotian shouted.

But Zhao Yuanpei's men kept running forward without looking back.

Ye Liuyun's combat pressure instantly rose; the soldiers he brought were instantly cut down by half by the Martial Cultivator strongmen.

He had no time to complain, only continued attacking with the soul source, while also releasing two golden dragon Kuailei to help the cut‑off Qin Yuan, Qiang Shi, and Chen Mo resist those strong ones.

But his actions were a bit slower; the three of them were simultaneously blasted away by two strong ones, their fate uncertain.

The guards' wails rose in a cacophony, the scene utterly chaotic.

"All converge on me! Brother Tian, go rescue them!"

Ye Liuyun let out a roar, gathering everyone to his side so the golden dragons could shield them within.

Liao Yaotian immediately rushed toward Qin Yuan, Qiang Shi, and Chen Mo to check on them. Qi Tianlin meanwhile fully activated his ice treasure to fend off the strong ones' assault.

Under Ye Liuyun's command, the remaining people gathered near him, protected by four golden dragon Kuailei.

But now fewer than ten remained; besides Ye Liuyun and his few companions, only six guards were left. Liao Yaotian cradled Chen Mo, scolding Chen Yuanpei.

"How are they?" Ye Liuyun asked casually.

In that short time, he had already subdued five Martial Cultivators, directing them to strike other Martial Cultivators, and was still releasing Golden Crow Fire Spirit to scorch two other Martial Cultivators.

With the golden dragons' protection, they were temporarily safe.

"Qin Yuan and Qiang Shi are dead, Chen Mo still has a chance!" Liao Yaotian reported to Ye Liuyun, his hand still feeding True Essence into Chen Mo to heal him.

"What?"

Ye Liuyun and Qi Tianlin heard this and only then realized Qin Yuan and Qiang Shi had already perished.

Their two were stronger than Chen Mo, so the two Taixu Fourth Tier Martial Cultivators focused on them, directing most of their power at the two.

Ye Liuyun immediately produced a drop of Life Spring Water, fed it to Chen Mo, and assigned Liao Yaotian to look after him.

He continued to wield Golden Crow Fire Spirit and the soul source against the remaining Martial Cultivators, and the four golden dragon Kuailei were redirected by Ye Liuyun to help, encircling the remaining four Martial Cultivators.

In the end, two were killed, and another two were captured by Ye Liuyun, finally ending the battle here.
