Chapter 3424: Someone Testifies

Ye Liuyun fought a few more battles before returning to rest. Chen Yueying was so excited that she didn't even want to fight.

Ye Liuyun returned to the Space World to accelerate his cultivation, while she guarded outside. When Ye Liuyun neither fought nor cultivated, she had him grill meat for her.

"It's just a piece of clothing; is it really worth getting that excited? Had I known, I'd rather not have given it to you!" Ye Liuyun thought she was excited because of the clothes.

"Hmph, mind your own business! I've already put the clothes on, and if you give them to me you won't go back!" Chen Yueying joked with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled, stopped worrying about her, focused on grilling meat, and then hurried to fight.

After this period of battle honing, he no longer needed Divine Core or special powers, and still wasn't a match for a Taixu Triple Martial Cultivator, but his Spatial Power could already breach the second layer of the void. His Heaven and Earth Power had also been practiced to the level of an ordinary Taixu Triple Martial Cultivator.

Until the day before Ye Liuyun was to return to the camp, he finally gave his all and fought at full strength against several Taixu Triple Martial Cultivators.

As a result, those Taixu Triple Martial Cultivators were cut down by him in one or two moves.

He first used Bloodline Power to lower the opponents' realms by one level, then applied blade intent and Divine Core, together with Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power; those cultivators couldn't withstand a single slash.

Only two cultivators with stronger Spatial Power could barely dodge his slash, but Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil released the Golden Crow Fire Spirit, and with a second strike they could not escape.

"That Bloodline Power and Fire Flame Power… a cross‑level instant kill!" Chen Yueying exclaimed, admiring Ye Liuyun even more.

However, after sparring with a few people, Ye Liuyun stopped immediately, without over‑consuming Divine Core. Once the fight ended, he returned at once to restore his Divine Core, then came out to grill meat for Chen Yueying, intending to bid her farewell.

He thought Chen Yueying was about to leave. In their camp, outsiders are not allowed to enter freely; even relatives meeting someone usually do so outside the camp.

Even if someone could enter the camp, a Leader like him could not possibly bring a woman back.

Yet Chen Yueying gave no reply, only saying she wouldn't leave for now and still had matters to attend. Ye Li…

…uyun saw she said nothing further and didn't press the issue.

After finishing the grilled meat, Chen Yueying said she would first escort Ye Liuyun back to the camp, then follow him into the city to return to the camp.

However, before Chen Yueying could bid Ye Liuyun farewell, as soon as Ye Liuyun reached the camp gate, he was surrounded.

Ye Liuyun guessed it might be the Zhao Yuanpei incident that had aroused someone's suspicion.

At that moment, Grand President Hao Tai, Liao Yaotian and others all rushed over.

Beside Hao Tai stood a Leader in military uniform who appeared to be of equal rank with Hao Tai.

"You are Ye Liuyun!" the man said, glancing at Ye Liuyun and asking coldly.

Ye Liuyun ignored him, simply saluted Hao Tai: "Greetings, Grand President! Subordinate Ye Liuyun's leave is over, returning as scheduled!"

Hao Tai nodded and said to Ye Liuyun: "Ye Liuyun, this is the Grand President Song Zhen, who is with the Lord, here to investigate the Crown Prince's affairs. After you left, did you see the Lord's Crown Prince, Zhao Yuanpei?"

"Crown Prince? I haven't seen him!" Ye Liuyun replied outright.

"You didn't go to that uninhabited Xingqiu?" Hao Tai's expression brightened a bit, and he asked Ye Liuyun again.

"I did go, but when I arrived that Xingqiu had already been seized by someone."

"Hmph, after you left, the Crown Prince also went to that uninhabited Xingqiu. You left first, yet you ended up behind the Crown Prince. I think the Crown Prince's disappearance is connected to you, right?" Song Zhen pressed coldly.

"Perhaps the Flying Boat the subordinate rode was slower! But I truly haven't seen the Crown Prince. Did the Crown Prince seize that Xingqiu?" Ye Liuyun asked, feigning confusion.

From a distance, Chen Yueying watched and couldn't help a silent laugh: "That guy really is a convincing liar!"

"No more idle talk; you're just empty words. I need to perform a Soul Search on you, come with me to the Royal Mansion!" Song Zhen, ignoring his protest, ordered Ye Liuyun to be bound.

Hao Tai also dared not defy Song Zhen's order, after all Song Zhen was sent by Zhen Wu Hou to investigate the Crown Prince's death.

Although they already knew Zhao Yuanpei was killed by Meng Yunshan and others, and Zhao Yuanpei himself never claimed to have seen Ye Liuyun, the coincidences were too great, so Song Zhen still wanted to investigate Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun at this moment also wondered whether to …

surrender and be captured, or resist outright. If he resisted, Qi Tianlin and others would surely lend a hand and help him escape.

But if he surrendered, what might happen next would be unpredictable.

Yet at that moment, Chen Yueying stepped forward and loudly said: "Who says his words are unsubstantiated? I've been with him these past days and can testify. He indeed arrived there only after the Xingqiu vanished!"

"And who are you?" Song Zhen sneered after seeing Chen Yueying, his face full of disdain.

"I'm an inner disciple of the Qianling Sect, Chen Yueying!" she said, brandishing a Sect Token before Song Zhen and Hao Tai.

Hao Tai was startled by the words, then transmitted a voice to Song Zhen to discuss.

Meanwhile, Chen Yueying also transmitted a voice to Hao Tai.

Ye Liuyun watched curiously, not knowing what they were saying. He also wondered: "How can a Qianling Sect inner disciple's token have such power that even two Grand Presidents have to give it respect? Moreover, Song Zhen, who was sent by Zhen Wu Hou to investigate his son's death, can be restrained by this token?"

Ye Liuyun was worried the token might be ineffective, unable to save him and would endanger himself as well.

Yet before he could decide how to handle the situation, Hao Tai and Song Zhen both turned and left together.

After they left, Hao Tai shouted from afar: "Ye Liuyun, cancel your leave and return to the camp to resume command. Bring the Qianling Sect's honored guest to the camp for a night's rest; tomorrow we'll report together at my Grand Tent!"

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun replied inexplicably, looking at Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying made a goofy face at Ye Liuyun, waving the token in her hand: "Is this token still rather useful?"

"Uh… I never expected this thing to be so effective! I was just thinking how to take down Song Zhen and then escape with you!" Ye Liuyun transmitted to Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying gave him a withering look and replied via transmission: "Your courage is commendable, but if you kill him here in the camp, can you still escape?"

"What's there to fear? My troops are all around!" Ye Liuyun smiled, calling Liao Yaotian, Qi Tianlin and the surrounding soldiers to return to the camp with him.

At that moment Chen Yueying realized that the surrounding soldiers were all Ye Liuyun's subordinates.

"You arranged all this?" Ye Liuyun asked Liao Yaotian.
