Chapter 3442: Stay Two More Days

But if they don't act and it spreads later, it will disgrace them completely; people will say those few were so frightened by a second‑layer Taixu guard that they dared not make a move.

"I'll kill you!"

A disciple finally couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to strike Ye Liuyun. As before, Ye Liuyun used Spatial Power to shift next to him, Yi Dao directly slashed down, and with the sharpness of the Demon Slaying Sword, killed the opponent.

This time the disciple produced a defensive shield, directly blocking the Demon Slaying Sword. Moreover, that shield was a fifth‑rank Void‑level treasure.

Since the Demon Slaying Sword absorbed the Bǔtiān Stone, it had never encountered a treasure of such high grade. Seeing a shield block its path, it naturally wanted to show Ye Liuyun its new power.

Thus Yi Dao cut through both the person and the shield at once. At the same time, the disciple's Soul was devoured by Ye Liuyun.

These people who came to assist were brought by Cang Tian and had no idea that Qi Shengyu was the mastermind behind the scenes. Yet Ye Liuyun killed without hesitation; anyone who dared to provoke him, regardless of the reason, would not be spared.

"Again, exploiting the advantage of close‑range weapons!"

"The timing of that guard's attack was actually well‑handled! Looks like this move has been practiced a lot!"

The onlookers around still watched with great interest.

Ye Liuyun once again took the disciple's Storage Ring and kept his gaze on the remaining few disciples.

"Let's go!" finally one disciple said, giving himself an excuse: "His weapon's grade is too high; we can't block it!"

Ye Liuyun gave no face at all: "Get out, and stop making excuses for yourselves!"

"You're just relying on your weapon; what gives you the right to be arrogant?" another disciple retorted.

Ye Liuyun turned and asked Chen Yueying: "May I kill them all?"

"Of course, they came to provoke you; you may act at will... but killing so many..."

Chen Yueying wanted to tell Ye Liuyun to avoid killing so many inner‑sect disciples, lest stronger ones be drawn out. Before she could finish, Ye Liuyun had already moved.

What he valued were the resources in their hands, regardless of whether anyone would avenge them. Even if someone came for revenge, they'd only bring him resources.

He again used Spatial Power to shift next to each of them, Yi Dao one by one. Even if they countered, Ye Liuyun didn't dodge; his gilded armor shielded him from all attacks.

In a few breaths, the remaining disciples were all cut in half by Ye Liuyun.

Then Ye Liuyun collected the Storage Rings and corpses, swiftly cleaning the battlefield.

At the same time he sent a Transmission Voice to Chen Yueying, informing her that Qi Shengyu had recruited Cang Tian.

"If we don't eliminate that Qi Shengyu, he'll certainly cause you trouble later. I suggest you challenge him directly now, remove this lingering threat, and deny him any chance to strike you again," Ye Liuyun advised her.

"We can't challenge him here; even if we want to fight, we must go to his peak. Qi Shengyu knows many high‑realm inner‑sect disciples and may summon Taixu Liu Chong disciples to guard the peak. Challenging him gives us little chance of victory."

Chen Yueying wasn't indecisive; she simply understood Qi Shengyu. He makes many acquaintances and knows how to make others owe him favors, so he gets along fairly well within the inner sect.

If Chen Yueying wanted help, she could find a few strong inner‑sect disciples. However, she didn't want to use her own status to ask for aid because of her own affairs.

"What if we kill him outright now?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Chen Yueying replied helplessly: "That won't work; aside from seizing the peak, the inner sect forbids disciples from killing, unless it's on the life‑and‑death arena!"

"Then let that scoundrel live two more days. We'll go on the mission first, don't return, lest he finds someone to strike you, and we get trapped!"

」

Seeing no other way and not forcing it, Ye Liuyun, after discussing with Chen Yueying, did not return to the residence. He only gave Liao Yaotian a word to keep the Formation active while Chen Yueying was away, and then they left the Sect again to undertake the mission.

Challenging the peak mainly requires the master to be present. So as long as Chen Yueying is absent, the guards can activate Formation defenses, and others cannot harm them.

At that moment, Qi Shengyu among the crowd was quite surprised, not expecting Ye Liuyun's strength to be so great. He saw clearly that the timing, sword intent, and Spatial Power were all Ye Liuyun's true abilities.

"Looks like, from this perspective, my previous subordinates were probably all taken out by this kid. Since you're so capable, I'll find more people to fight you!"

Qi Shengyu thought this and broke into a wicked grin, going to recruit people to deal with Ye Liuyun. Those newly slain disciples each had some friends, and he intended to incite them to avenge the disciples and trouble Ye Liuyun.

At the same time, he still needed to find more people to keep challenging Chen Yueying, wearing her out. When she could no longer cope, he would appear as a savior and help her resolve the situation.

After Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying boarded the Flying Boat, Chen Yueying sighed to Ye Liuyun: "I never expected Qi Shengyu to be such a literal scoundrel, already sending people after me so quickly!"

"I had heard he was a scheming scoundrel, so I never confronted him. I didn't expect it to turn out like this in an instant."

Ye Liuyun reminded her: "When such a person targets you, you must cut the tangled rope with a swift blade; you'll eventually have a falling out with him, it's inevitable."

"I guess this won't be over. He'll keep launching cold arrows later. You must think of a one‑time solution, otherwise you'll have to forever watch out for his dagger in the back!"

However, although Chen Yueying also wants to eliminate Qi Shengyu, she can't think of a good method. After all, her experience is limited.

"Is there any way to poison him, or lure him into the Formation on your peak? Leading him out of the Sect works too?" Ye Liuyun gave her some hints.

But Chen Yueying knows nothing about Qi Shengyu, so she has no pretext to lure him into anything.

"What about storming his peak and killing him directly? Would acting on the peak violate Sect regulations?"

"Wounding is permissible, but killing is definitely not! Unless you issue an open challenge, he refuses to accept and doesn't retreat, then you may rush in to kill." Chen Yueying explained.

In the end, Ye Liuyun had no other choice and didn't want to waste time pondering, so he decided to challenge directly next time.

"Then next time we'll challenge him directly; even if he has allies, you needn't worry—I'll handle it all."

He even considered that even if he used poison in battle, he must eliminate that trash like Qi Shengyu, otherwise he'd be endlessly on guard against him.
