Chapter 3480: The Holy Son Steps Forward

On the road ahead, they encountered no ambushes, arrived smoothly at the Grand Hall, and converted all the points they carried into cultivation resources.

Then they went to the merchant guild and exchanged some unwanted weapons, treasures and other items for Primordial Power and Crystal Stone.

Just as they were leaving the merchant guild, two Seventh Realm elite disciples stopped Ye Liuyun and his companions.

The man wore all white, the woman all black, neither wearing the attire of inner sect disciples, and both wore rather solemn expressions.

Chen Yueying saw the two and her face darkened. She immediately sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "These two are the Holy Son Zhou Tai's subordinates, known as the Black and White Impermanence.

The White Impermanence is called Yu Lianhao, the Black Impermanence is Wu Mengyu; they kill on sight, and sect disciples are terrified at the mere sound of their names!"

"Holy Son? The Qianling Sect also has a Holy Son?" It was Ye Liuyun's first time hearing her use the title Holy Son.

Chen Yueying explained to Ye Liuyun: "The Qianling Sect has only three Holy Sons. Zhou Tao is the Third Holy Son; the First Holy Son is Xu Cheng, the Second Holy Son is Ruan Lengfei."

One does not become a Holy Son merely by strength; one must have made huge contributions to the sect. Moreover, these three Holy Sons all come from influential families linked to the Central Region Dynasty. Not even my father could offend them.

Furthermore, a Holy Son's status within the sect is even higher than that of a Steward Elder. We must obey what he says! I never imagined that a dispute among disciples could draw the Holy Son's attention.

"It seems the Holy Sons of the Qianling Sect are all formidable!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself that, given such high status, they probably wouldn't be swayed by any bounty.

The Black and White Impermanence stopped in front of them, sizing up Ye Liuyun without speaking. Ye Liuyun and the others were puzzled, unsure of their intent.

Ye Liuyun didn't need to assess them; his Golden Pupil had already seen their strength clearly. Their True Essence was indeed solid, and the killing aura around them was heavy, likely having helped Zhou Tao kill many. Yet their Divine Soul Power was not as strong as his, and he still possessed some resistance.

Chen Yueying stepped forward, clasping her fists, and said: "Senior brothers, may we know your instruction?"

But the Black and White Impermanence clearly ignored her, not even glancing her way. Chen Yueying could only look awkwardly at Ye Liuyun.

"If you have something to say, speak now; no need to waste time!" Ye Liuyun said calmly.

Chen Yueying heard this and inhaled sharply in shock. No one inside the sect had ever dared speak to the Black and White Impermanence like that. The surrounding disciples immediately dispersed, fearing collateral damage.

Even the few sect disciples Ye Liuyun controlled stepped back involuntarily.

Black Impermanence Wu Mengyu showed little reaction, but Ye Liuyun keenly sensed a fluctuation of killing aura from White Impermanence. He quickly suppressed it, showing no sign.

"You really are audacious!" he finally spoke: "The Holy Son has ordered it; you are not a disciple of this sect, so you cannot control them."

He gestured toward the inner sect disciples behind him, indicating the ones Ye Liuyun was controlling.

"Either you join the Qianling Sect and serve the Holy Son, who can give you a chance to become an inner sect disciple directly.

Or you must release them now and return all the resources you plundered from them, otherwise…"

Yu Lianhao stopped at this point, as if the rest need not be said.

"It seems that by defeating some of their inner sect disciples I embarrassed the Qianling Sect, making them want me to bow to them. Otherwise, just capturing a few worthless disciples—I'm Chen Yueying's guard, after all, and they're essentially Chen Yueying's capture, so it shouldn't be that serious."

Ye Liuyun thought of this, guessed the Qianling Sect was using the pretext, and asked immediately: "Otherwise, what then?"

Yu Lianhao was also stunned, not expecting Ye Liuyun to be so reckless.

Chen Yueying and the surrounding onlookers among the disciples all inhaled sharply, fearing they might start fighting at any moment.

"Actually, the condition the Holy Son offered isn't bad for you!" Chen Yueying sent a Transmission Voice to remind Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun's nature is such that he prefers smooth talks and easy solutions; threats are the least he cares about. Moreover, asking him to defect under the Holy Son is even more impossible.

Yu Lianhao's killing aura surged again; he stared coldly at Ye Liuyun, saying word by word: "You'd better think it through; those consequences are beyond what you can bear!"

"Ha ha!" Ye Liuyun suddenly burst into laughter, then shouted: "I'm a confirmed bachelor; what consequences could I not bear? At worst it's just death!"

I'm merely a guard, fighting for my master according to sect rules. What's this? Is the Qianling Sect unable to play, feeling I embarrassed you, so your Holy Son steps forward to suppress me?

Fine! These few are right here; you can seize them now. Let everyone see how the Qianling Sect, over a few inner‑sect worthless disciples, has a Seventh Realm elite disciple threatening a Third Realm guard!

After speaking, Ye Liuyun crossed his arms, stood to one side, and stepped aside to give them room, showing no sign of resistance or retaliation.

He smiled at Yu Lianhao and said: "Please! They're standing right there; go take them away!"

Liao Yaotian and the others immediately stepped aside, clearing a path.

Xiong Tianchuan also disregarded the Black and White Impermanence, stepped forward, and said, "I'm following him voluntarily, not because he controls me!"

Yu Lianhao, provoked by him, was about to lose control, his killing aura violently fluctuating, ready to strike. At that moment, Black Impermanence sent a Transmission Voice:

"Calm down. This kid is too clever; he's even guessed the Holy Son's motives. If we act here in the Grand Hall before the crowd, it will embarrass the sect further."

Yu Lianhao instantly replied via Transmission Voice: "Then what do we do? Let him toy with us and we have to hold back? This is our sect's interior, all disciples; if we kill him, what then? Who could spread the news?"

Wu Mengyu scolded him: "Fool! Even if we're not afraid of it spreading, why would the sect let the Holy Son intervene? If you kill him and no one mentions it, Chen Yueying is a princess; can you stop her tongue? If she's angry, she'll go out and exaggerate, and the whole world will know! And that brute over there—his temper will surely make him act too! When chaos erupts, how will the Holy Son wrap things up?"

Wu Mengyu was referring to Xiong Tianchuan. Xiong Tianchuan didn't care who they were; seeing a fight, even though he knew he couldn't win, he was already eager to try.

Yu Lianhao, hearing this, could only suppress his killing aura for the moment.
