Chapter 357: Multiple Formidable Enemies

Yan Qing felt a bit hesitant at this moment.

This spirit talisman was given by his master to protect his life. It stores his master's power and Soul, and cannot be made lightly. It requires consuming his master's strength. Moreover, if the Soul is destroyed, it will also harm the master's own body.

"Yan Holy Son, I'll have my master forge another pill to help you breakthrough your realm!" Jin Peng, noticing Yan Qing's hesitation, immediately spoke up to raise the stakes.

Hearing that, Yan Qing made up his mind. Standing with Jin Peng, after all Jin Peng could bring him many benefits. Moreover, he didn't think Ye Liuyun had the power to break his master's duplicate will.

"You needn't say more; my mind is made up! If you don't retreat, I'll crush the spirit talisman," Yan Qing threatened.

"Alas! Looks like I have another strong opponent!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, and Golden Pupil looked straight at Jin Peng, pulling his Soul into his Thunder Fire Domain without any hesitation.

Yan Qing hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to be so decisive, and immediately crushed the spirit talisman. "Ye Liuyun, you forced me!"

"It doesn't matter; you can't stop what I intend to do, nor can my master!"

Ye Liuyun said calmly, and at the same time sent a Transmission Voice to Lei Ming, who also crushed a bell.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two powerful auras appeared between the two groups.

One was an old man cloaked entirely in a black robe, exuding corpse aura, and his Soul also radiated a threat of death.

The other turned out to be a nine-tailed white fox, whose aura was exceedingly holy, and both its Soul and realm were far stronger than the black‑robed elder.

The black‑robed elder, upon seeing the nine-tailed white fox, immediately asked the Yan Qing beside him, "How did you offend such a powerful being?"

"Master, it wasn't me who offended, it was Jin Peng. I only wanted to save him. I thought Ye Liuyun was just an ordinary kid, didn't expect he had a strong guardian!" Yan Qing, seeing the situation, panicked and hurried to explain to his master to avoid punishment.

The nine-tailed white fox looked at Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming, and Qiong Qi, smiled and said, "You all have improved quite quickly!"

"Senior!" Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming respectfully bowed to the nine-tailed white fox. Even Qiong Qi nodded in salute.

At this moment, Yan Qing's master understood the events and said to the nine-tailed white fox, "Senior, this is actually a misunderstanding. My disciple only stepped up to help a friend, and even asked you to lend a hand!"

The nine-tailed white fox Demon Emperor ignored him and asked Ye Liuyun, "How do you intend to deal with them?"

"Please, Senior! If you eliminate that black‑robed one, we can handle the rest ourselves," Ye Liuyun bowed again in thanks.

"Fine!" the Demon Emperor replied, then raised a hand and pointed, a Technique shooting straight at the black robe.

"Kid, why are you doing this again! I am Grand Elder Zeng Fan of the Shadow Ghost Sect, I can return you a personal favor!" the Grand Elder said.

"No need! I don't need your favor!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently. Since he's already offended them, there's no reason to stop. As he once said, "Once the bow is drawn, there's no arrow that returns!"

"Offend my Shadow Ghost Sect, and you'll be unable to move a single step in the future!" the black‑robed one roared, but before he could resist, the Demon Emperor's Technique struck him, and his phantom was instantly shattered.

Then the nine-tailed white fox said nothing more, transformed into a Technique, surged toward Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, was absorbed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, becoming nourishment for Ye Liuyun's Soul.

Ye Liuyun felt deep gratitude toward the nine-tailed white fox; every time it sacrifices itself to benefit him.

"Ye Liuyun! You dare destroy my master's duplicate; do you really intend to oppose our Shadow Ghost Sect?" Yan Qing scolded.

"Are you talking to me?" Ye Liuyun's expression changed instantly, Golden Pupil looked at Yan Qing, pulling Yan Qing's Soul into the Thunder Fire Domain. "I warned you long ago; you brought this on yourself!"

Jin Peng's Soul was now on the brink of death! Seeing Yan Qing's Soul arrive, he thought there might be salvation, but realized Yan Qing himself was also in peril.

And Yan Qing now realized that Ye Liuyun intended to kill him as well!

"Ye Liuyun, can't I just ignore Jin Peng? If you want to kill him, go ahead! But if you kill me, my master will surely hunt you down!"

Yan Qing's gloomy gaze made Ye Liuyun feel irritated. Such a person would likely seek revenge later.

"Since it's already offended, better cut the weeds at the root!"

With that thought, he directly annihilated both Souls.

At the same time, the others surged forward, wiping out Yan Qing's group entirely.

Ye Liuyun sucked up their Storage Rings and vital blood.

At this moment, his Token sent a message, informing him that his ranking on the Holy List had risen to seventy‑fifth place.

"The Holy Son of the Southern Domain Sect is indeed powerful! All at Golden Core Ninth Level; they were just a hair's breadth away from surpassing the Northern Domain Sect's Holy Son by an entire great realm!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but marvel.

"Let's go quickly. The Shadow Ghost Sect's influence will surely give you headaches later! These people will use any means to achieve their goals. You'd better be more cautious from now on," Qiong Qi warned Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded, immediately took out a transmission disc, set up a Formation. Then he gathered the others, glanced toward a distant direction, and through the Formation, directly teleported back to the Northern Domain Alliance.

In the direction Ye Liuyun looked, several black‑clad women stood three hundred li away, watching everything unfold.

"Sister Su Miaoyin, can you confirm that this kid named Ye Liuyun is the same person from the auction?" one woman asked.

"It should be him. But this kid's protective power is too strong! Fortunately we didn't act rashly, and he doesn't intend to oppose us. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to return to the Demon Sound Hall today!" Su Miaoyin's melodious voice sounded.

"So you mean he already discovered us?" another woman asked in surprise.

"Yes! This kid's Golden Pupil can probably see through. He glanced at me as if he saw right through me! Little pervert, you look at me and want to run?" Su Miaoyin spat, twisted her waist, and led the other women away.

"Huh? See‑through? Then sister, aren't you at a loss?" a woman nearby laughed.

"Indeed. Are you jealous?" Su Miaoyin smiled coyly at the teasing woman.

The woman turned pale instantly. The other women bowed their heads together, trembling, unable to speak.

"Some things I can say, you cannot. Understand?"

Su Miaoyin's voice remained gentle as she walked slowly toward the distance.

"Yes!" all the women answered in unison, hurrying to follow.

Ye Liuyun had indeed discovered these Demon Sound Hall disciples long ago. However, both sides were only competing for a treasure at the auction, not to the point of a life‑or‑death battle.

So when he was about to leave, he glanced at Su Miaoyin's realm and appearance, found she was only at Golden Core Ninth Level, and didn't pay much attention.

He also wanted to remember her looks so he wouldn't fail to recognize her next time. Although Su Miaoyin was stunning, compared with Wu Qingcheng and Liang Xue, she didn't provoke any thoughts in Ye Liuyun.

He just didn't expect that his glance would cause Su Miaoyin to remember him.
