Chapter 3573: Too Fast

All along the way, he also arranged everyone's tasks.

When his Golden Pupil saw the Liu Clan's castle, it immediately halted and sent Lei Ming to become invisible and scout, to see whether the Liu Clan had any significant changes.

"Three Ninth Realm individuals, plus one from the Demon Race, six Eighth Realm Demon Cultivators, and the Seventh and Sixth Realm Demon Cultivators together could be fifty or sixty people. The rest are all from the First to Fifth Realm."

After Lei Ming returned, he reported the information to Ye Liuyun, and the details he gave Li Qianjiao were not much different.

Li Qianjiao was very interested in Lei Ming's invisible armor.

Then he heard Ye Liuyun give the newly captured Demon Cultivator a command: "Enter the castle and kill as many as you can."

"Yes!"

Although the Demon Cultivator knew in his heart that he was being sent to his death, under Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal he could not resist. He immediately handed over all his resources to Ye Liuyun and then resolutely entered the castle.

Because he was a Demon Cultivator, he didn't attract much attention. However, after entering the castle, he began killing anyone he saw, quickly causing a stir.

The high-level Demon Cultivators inside the castle came out to investigate, and he was quickly slain by a strong opponent.

At this point, Ye Liuyun also led the group to move a bit closer to the castle, then took advantage of the chaos to release the Metal Puppet and the mercenaries.

Altogether, they numbered over a hundred, a force not to be underestimated. Such a large scale naturally made the Demon Cultivators inside the castle more nervous.

"Kill!"

With Ye Liuyun's command, he led his men to charge straight inside, also releasing the Sealing Demon Tablet. This was also a good opportunity for the Sealing Demon Tablet to absorb power and increase its strength.

Li Qianjiao was stunned, standing still. Chen Yueying and Tang Xinyao drew their weapons, ready to strike, but seeing her unmoving, they had to pause and ask her.

"Aren't you here to train?"

Li Qianjiao replied, "I am here to train, but who will deal with those Ninth and Eighth Realm Demon Cultivators? You only have a Ninth Realm Metal Puppet and an Eighth Realm mercenary here; can they defeat them?"

It turned out Li Qianjiao was worried that Ye Liuyun's side wasn't strong enough.

Chen Yueying and Tang Xinyao also realized that Li Qianjiao didn't understand Ye Liuyun.

Tang Xinyao told her, "Don't worry; since he arranged it this way, he must be confident. Just follow his orders from now on."

"Yes! He doesn't like others questioning him. Moreover, he only acts when he's sure; he never acts recklessly!" Chen Yueying added.

She had a profound lesson, knowing how severe the consequences would be for disobeying Ye Liuyun.

Seeing both of them say that, and even though they were of lower realms and unafraid, Li Qianjiao relaxed a bit and rushed forward with them.

At this moment, Lei Ming had already summoned the Zhenmo Tower, releasing the Demon Beasts inside. Those Demon Beasts went to besiege the two Ninth Realm Demon Cultivators, while Lei Ming used the Zhenmo Tower to capture that Demon Race strongman.

The Demon Lion followed Lei Ming, easily using bone‑piercing spikes to eliminate any Demon Cultivator that tried to attack Lei Ming. It is now at the Sixth Realm, and its spikes can effortlessly kill even Ninth Realm Demon Cultivators, so it need not reveal its true form.

Seven‑headed Demon Beasts surrounded the two Demon Cultivators, holding an absolute numerical advantage; in a few blows they tore the two apart, becoming training resources for the beasts.

Lei Ming's Zhenmo Tower also easily captured the Demon Race, giving it no chance to attack. Afterwards, Lei Ming ordered the Demon Beasts into the castle to gather resources, assigning them a zone of activity so they wouldn't harm the mercenaries.

Lei Ming and the Demon Lion completed their tasks, then one became invisible and the other slipped into the void, rushing to the castle's Treasure Vault to collect resources. After emerging, they mingled with the Demon Beasts again, sparring with a few Demon Cultivators for practice.

The Sealing Demon Tablet emerged a bit later; seeing Lei Ming already dealing with the Ninth Realm Demon Cultivators and already using the Zhenmo Tower, it rushed straight at several Eighth Realm Demon Cultivators, Metal...

The Metal Puppet hurried over to assist it.

Xu Rong led the mercenaries, killing from the castle entrance inward, specifically targeting Sixth and Seventh Realm Demon Cultivators; Demon Cultivators of other realms were left for Ye Liuyun and others to spar with.

When Ye Liuyun saw that the Eighth and Ninth Realm Demon Cultivators had been almost wiped out, he released the Monster Beasts, letting them find suitable opponents to spar with.

Li Qianjiao, following behind, was initially a bit worried, but in the blink of an eye the enemy's strong ones were all eliminated. Especially the three Ninth Realm Demon Cultivators and the Demon Race, which were taken down at the first sight.

"That's too fast!"

Li Qianjiao sighed, noting that the Sealing Demon Tablet was the same: in a few breaths it drained a Demon Cultivator. The tablet has now risen to eighth‑level strength, capable of enveloping three Demon Cultivators standing together and absorbing them simultaneously.

The Metal Puppet was responsible for killing any Demon Cultivator trying to flee. It used its Heaven‑Devouring technique to cut one per strike, and now its material is even sturdier; it hardly defends, and after slashing the Demon Cultivators, it throws the corpses to the Sealing Demon Tablet for absorption.

Soon the Eighth Realm Demon Cultivators were also eliminated. Then the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Metal Puppet split up, each going to kill Demon Cultivators. The tablet targets high‑realm ones, while the Metal Puppet kills any Demon Cultivator it meets, regardless of realm.

Xu Rong, leading over a hundred mercenaries, had now fought his way to the castle's central region; the Sixth and Seventh Realm Demon Cultivators were either slain by them or driven to the castle's top. Ye Liuyun and his group actually faced no real danger at this point.

Ye Liuyun, Long Nv, and the Monster Beasts had already begun fighting the Demon Cultivators fiercely.

Li Qianjiao watched all this and found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Act quickly, or we'll lose the chance later!"

Tang Xinyao also began urging her, and just then two low‑realm Demon Cultivators charged at them, so the three of them finally joined the battle.

Tang Xinyao was only at the Second Realm of Taixu, so when she encountered a higher‑realm Demon Cultivator, she used the short defensive sword Ye Liuyun gave her, controlling the blade to kill it.

Chen Yueying also seized the chance to spar; if Li Qianjiao didn't take the initiative, she wouldn't get a chance to act. But Chen's realm is high, and every strike is a killing blow, so she faced no real danger.

She also used this chance to observe Ye Liuyun, discovering that he targets Fifth Realm opponents, crushing them with a single punch of his Physical Body, without needing the Divine Core, merely employing some Heaven and Earth Power, and not even using weapons.

Long Nv beside Ye Liuyun was the same—one punch per target, her Physical Body seemed very strong. Moreover, in combat she used not even a hint of Heaven and Earth Power, relying solely on her fist strength to fight across realms.

"Cross‑realm combat is really easy; that shows they can handle Sixth Realm Martial Cultivators without trouble. But fighting like this is just too easy!"

Li Qianjiao also felt that this battle was exceedingly easy.
