Chapter 3479: with translation of chapter title

Xiong Tianchuan heard that and suddenly burst into a hearty laugh: "You're right, my realm is far higher than yours; if I still don't let you use the Guardian God Seal, I'd be too spineless!"

"I won't fight anymore; I admit I can't beat you! From now on I'll stay here with you, spar with you. If there's no fighting, I'll train with you!"

"I reckon if you don't use that short sword, I should be able to match you evenly!"

Ye Liuyun heard that and also let out a dry laugh; he hadn't expected to recruit a subordinate so easily.

"Monster Beasts are easier to befriend!" he thought to himself.

"Alright then, let's first sign an equal contract, and you can stay here!"

Ye Liuyun, to be cautious, still puts the petty before the gentleman.

Xiong Tianchuan didn't hesitate and agreed outright. After signing the contract, he told Ye Liuyun: "I heard there's some monkey bounty on you; many in the Sect are interested, so I reckon you'll have frequent fights soon!"

"So that's the reason you agreed so readily?" Ye Liuyun was also exasperated.

"What monkey?" Chen Yueying hadn't caught on yet; after thinking, she realized it must be Marquis of the Heavenly Realm offering a bounty on Ye Liuyun's head, to avenge Hou Yuanqing.

"Whatever your reason, I'll take you to my Space World and introduce you to a few companions!" Ye Liuyun immediately relaxed Xiong Tianchuan, brought him into his Space World, and introduced all the Monster Beasts to him.

Although his realm was higher than those Monster Beasts of Ye Liuyun, his Bloodline Power was considerably weaker than theirs. Regarding fierce beasts such as True Dragon, Thunder Dragon Beast, Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, Xiong Tianchuan instinctively felt some fear.

Xiong Tianchuan rarely encounters Monster Beast kin; seeing so many at once made him feel as if he'd found home. So after Ye Liuyun gave him a tour, he immediately started calling Ye Liuyun 'Boss' and latched onto him.

He couldn't reveal Ye Liuyun's secret, so he told others that Ye Liuyun was powerful and that following him had prospects. Only Chen Yueying understood, guessing it was the Monster Beasts around Ye Liuyun that attracted him.

Xiong Tianchuan's proactive news of following Ye Liuyun stirred another wave within the Sect.

This made some weaker disciples no longer dare to scheme against Ye Liuyun. Even if they could kill Ye Liuyun, Xiong Tianchuan would go after them desperately, and they couldn't handle it.

Thus, regarding the Marquis of the Heavenly Realm's bounty, these disciples only regarded the elite disciples as targets.

"How many elite disciples are there in the Sect?" Ye Liuyun asked Chen Yueying at this moment.

Chen Yueying told him: "In this generation, there are only a dozen or so elite disciples; adding previous generations makes it many more! But whether they're still in the Sect, we can't verify."

Ye Liuyun nodded and then discussed with Chen Yueying his plan to find a garrison for the soldiers.

"You want to go beyond the domain? Isn't that too dangerous?" Chen Yueying hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to seek a garrison outside the domain.

"There's no choice! I can't wait any longer; more and more in the army are breaking through realms. After breakthrough they lack cultivation resources, and continuing like this won't work! It's better to venture out; maybe I'll find an opportunity!"

Ye Liuyun explained helplessly.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yueying suddenly asked Ye Liuyun: "I want to adventure with you; can you take me along? I can bring enough cultivation resources myself and protect myself, so you don't need to worry!"

"You want to follow me to adventure beyond the domain, not afraid of mishaps? Staying in the Sect or returning home to cultivate is safer and resources aren't scarce!" Ye Liuyun was somewhat puzzled, thinking Chen Yueying didn't seem like an adventure‑seeker.

"But following you can gain experience! So I won't be deceived by others later!" Chen Yueying was good at explaining, giving herself a reasonable excuse.

Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun also agreed.

"That's true. If you're not afraid of danger and want to follow me, then go ahead! If danger comes, I won't ignore you! It's just that regarding the outside situation—"

"—I don't know how it is, and I'm afraid I might not be able to look after you then!"

Chen Yueying also smiled brightly and immediately suggested: "Before we leave, let's redeem all the points we have. We don't know when we'll be able to return!"

Ye Liuyun agreed: "Alright then! Bring Liao Yaotian and the other two as well; staying here alone would be meaningless for them!"

Immediately, Chen Yueying went to make arrangements, while Ye Liuyun gathered Peng Lie and others, bringing them into the Space World.

Feng Yunjie waited outside, ready to redeem the points he held; Xiong Tianchuan and several other inner‑gate disciples were also present, all preparing to leave the Sect with Ye Liuyun.

Not long after, Chen Yueying also brought Liao Yaotian and the others over, rushing with Ye Liuyun to the Grand Hall for redemption.

After this group left their residence, they immediately attracted much attention. Timid Martial Cultivators dared not approach them, fearing that if anyone struck at Ye Liuyun, they would also get entangled.

With these people present, Martial Cultivators below Seventh Layer in Taixu acting would be meaningless, certainly unable to harm Ye Liuyun.

Suddenly, two powerful soul sources rushed into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness one after another. The speed of the Spiritual Soul Attack left everyone defenseless.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone, but Ye Liuyun merely gave a faint smile, without a moment's pause, and led the group onward.

The attackers this time were two Martial Cultivators' soul sources—two Sixth Layer Realm disciples who had cultivated soul sources, joining forces against Ye Liuyun.

But as a result, both suffered a backlash and collapsed, weakly slumping on the ground behind a mountain peak.

After scanning the souls, Ye Liuyun discovered he had been offered a bounty of thirty Primordial Powers by the Marquis of the Heavenly Realm—quite valuable. This price would likely tempt even elite Seventh Realm disciples.

Clearly, Ye Liuyun's Soul had already detected two Seventh Realm disciples watching them from afar.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun continued on unperturbed, as if he hadn't noticed.

These Seventh Realm disciples, as long as they don't successfully ambush him, Ye Liuyun isn't too worried about them.

"How are you? All right? Is your Sea of Consciousness's flame defense that strong?" Chen Yueying asked concernedly, worrying that Ye Liuyun might be injured.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her, thought she meant well, and deliberately used Transmission Voice to remind her: "I'm fine! In the future, don't ask directly, lest others learn my details!"

Chen Yueying then understood what Ye Liuyun's glance meant.

"I'll be careful from now on!" she immediately apologized to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't blame her; he only reminded her: "It's fine. I was afraid that if I didn't answer you, it would cause a misunderstanding. From now on, remember, matters concerning strength should be conveyed via Transmission Voice."
