Chapter 3436: One Person Encircles All

The followers of Qi Shengyu trailing behind were also puzzled at this moment.

"They should have reached the ferocious beast zone of Taixu's fourth layer by now, right? How are they still moving so fast?"

"It must be Chen Yueying training her skills! Otherwise, with only those few guards' cultivations, how could they handle such strong ferocious beasts? I guess Chen Yueying brought them here just to have them help clean up the beast corpses."

"Then when do we act?"

"No rush, wait until they arrive. Shadowless Grass lies at the junction of the fourth and fifth layer beasts. When they spread out to search, we can strike those guards at that moment."

After a brief discussion, these people still paid no attention to Ye Liuyun and the other guards, and kept trailing far behind.

Soon, Ye Liuyun and his group reached the designated area and began searching this region.

The Shadowless Grass they were after is rather special; when it senses someone nearby or any movement, it retracts beneath the ground. So they cannot search for it directly; they must release their Divine Sense to locate it, then go over and dig it out from underground.

Ye Liuyun didn't let anyone else act; he extended his Divine Sense to a five‑li radius, searching meticulously, and soon found one, then rushed over and dug it out.

"This mission... is way too easy for you!" Chen Yueying, Liao Yaotian and the others were speechless, thinking Ye Liuyun's speed was unbelievably fast.

Ye Liuyun glanced into the distance and asked the others, "How about we raise the difficulty a bit?"

Chen Yueying laughed, "I knew you wouldn't be satisfied with such a simple task. If you want to go on, continue; we'll follow you from behind!"

"Right, right, we're following you from behind!"

Liao Yaotian immediately echoed. Ahead lay the ferocious beasts of Taixu's fifth layer. Once they entered, they couldn't be of any help at all; they'd have to rely entirely on Ye Liuyun.

"Then let's give it a try!" Ye Liuyun decided on the spot, continuing forward to see how things unfolded.

He felt the beast density here was low, perfect for him to train one by one and gauge his limits. Even if he were outmatched, his Divine Soul Power could ensure everyone retreated unscathed.

"Then go ahead!" Liao Yaotian made a beckoning gesture, letting Ye Liuyun lead the way.

"In a moment, deal with the few tails behind first, so they don't cause trouble later!"

At that moment, Ye Liuyun also noticed the six individuals had begun accelerating toward them.

"Tails? Who?" Chen Yueying only then became alert. She hadn't noticed those trailing behind at all.

"Stay here and prepare for battle, watch out for beast ambushes; Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo are with you. I'll take Brother Qi Tianlin to another direction, and as long as you're with us, they won't strike!"

Ye Liuyun didn't specify who, but he led Liao Yaotian and Chen Yueying apart, creating an opening for those people to act.

When those disciples drew near, they saw they had been split up, and the very targets they wanted—Ye Liuyun and Liao Yaotian—were together, which delighted them; they immediately accelerated and surrounded them.

Chen Yueying then realized they were the people beside Qi Shengyu.

"Qi Shengyu?" she found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Princess, do you recall the Leader warning you to beware of that petty person Qi Shengyu? He probably spotted those people back then. It seems that petty person is indeed angry and about to strike you. You'd better stay cautious from now on."

"From my observation of the Leader, he wouldn't casually warn others! Even in the lower realms, he's a big figure, with plenty of experience, and doesn't speak recklessly."

Qi Tianlin observed the situation closely, knowing Ye Liuyun, and felt Chen Yueying didn't take Ye Liuyun's words seriously enough, fearing she'd suffer.

After all, he's also a guard; if Chen Yueying truly gets into trouble, he can't escape blame.

"Hmm!" Chen Yueying finally nodded cautiously.

Suddenly, her Divine Sense

detected a fourth‑layer Taixu leopard sprinting toward them.

"This guy, could he be calculating fate? He seems to predict everything. He even warned me in advance of a beast ambush?" Chen Yueying thought, and immediately alerted Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo to prepare for battle.

In fact, Ye Liuyun hadn't guessed it. He had just noticed that the leopard from the neighboring beast territory was moving here, likely sensing that the original beasts had been cleared and trying to claim the territory, so he gave them a heads‑up.

He has simply dealt with many people and beasts before, understanding their traits, which is why he could preemptively act.

Those six disciples hadn't intended to ambush Ye Liuyun; after surrounding them, they revealed themselves outright. But they didn't expect that Ye Liuyun wouldn't need to strike—he used a Spiritual Soul Attack to instantly plant Slave Seals on them.

Ye Liuyun forced them to surrender all carried resources. The remaining Storage Rings and Tokens were burned together, and then he sealed those people into the Space World for future training use.

"Uh... your power is overwhelming; you encircled everyone alone, making the rest of us look useless!" Liao Yaotian shook his head.

Ye Liuyun, only at Taixu's second layer, was already training with a fourth‑layer Martial Cultivator's techniques. The gap was enormous.

"Everyone's situation differs; everyone has strengths. I'm just stronger in certain aspects, not universally." Ye Liuyun offered him some comfort.

"In which aspect are you weak?" Liao Yaotian retorted skeptically.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment; his weakest point truly was Heaven and Earth Power. Yet he couldn't reveal it, because his Heaven and Earth Power still far exceeded Liao Yaotian's. Disclosing it would demoralize them too much.

"My cultivation is low!" he finally said with a laugh.

"Shameless! With such low cultivation you're already this strong; if your level were higher, you'd kill us!" Liao Yaotian gave him a glare.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked back.

At this point, Chen Yueying, accompanied by Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo, engaged the leopard. Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo merely wielded treasures and weapons to block the leopard, preventing its escape.

Chen Yueying also employed Spatial Power, evidently inspired by Ye Liuyun and eager to practice its applications. Yet she was still unskilled, barely holding her own against the leopard.

Ye Liuyun saw she was training, so he didn't rush over; instead, he gave her space to move, lest she stay bored trailing behind.

After a while, the leopard realized its True Essence consumption was high and it still couldn't overcome Chen Yueying, so it tried to retreat quickly.

Then Chen Yueying unleashed her full strength, using Spatial Power to chase the leopard, drawing a longsword to boost her attack, and finally slaying the beast.
