Chapter 3582: Flame Planet

Although Duanmu Xin was in a bad mood at the time, he certainly wasn't deliberately sending those people to their deaths.

He wanted those brainless guys to clash head‑on with Ye Liuyun, making Ye Liuyun think Duanmu Hall was that powerful and become complacent.

Then, after he recovered, he would strike Ye Liuyun out of nowhere with a killing blow, wiping out all of Ye Liuyun's subordinates in one go. At that point he would even try to get Song Qing involved, jointly issuing a bounty to hunt down Ye Liuyun.

Now the remaining branches of Duanmu Hall all know Ye Liuyun is hard to deal with, so they have been waiting for a chance to act, aiming for a one‑hit kill.

This time, as soon as Ye Liuyun left Black Cloud City, a Flying Boat chased them from afar. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also spotted that Flying Boat.

At first he thought it was far away, probably not monitoring him, and paid it no mind. But soon he realized the Flying Boat kept following them from behind.

So he used his Golden Pupil to scan the interior of the Flying Boat and found a Demon Cultivator inside, whose eyes also glowed, staring at their Flying Boat—clearly someone with Special Eye Pupil ability.

However, that Demon Cultivator's X‑ray ability wasn't as strong as Ye Liuyun's; it couldn't pierce their Flying Boat's hull. He couldn't see Ye Liuyun, but Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see him.

"Almost overlooked him; seems the Taixu World still has capable people!" Ye Liuyun remarked.

He guessed that whoever still dared to tail him was either from Duanmu Hall or from Song Qing's side. Since the person was a Demon Cultivator, the odds lean more toward Duanmu Hall.

"Probably Duanmu Xin is already driven mad by me, ready to take furious revenge!"

Ye Liuyun merely chuckled inwardly, actually hoping for another big battle with Duanmu Hall.

Given the current situation, Duanmu Hall's main force is absent, likely waiting to strike either when he enters the Secret Realm or when he emerges.

So he didn't drive them away, letting them follow him all the way to the entrance of the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

The entrance to the Five Elements Cave Heaven was actually within a starry sky; without the two Mercenaries piloting the Flying Boat having passed by, finding that entrance in the starry sky would have been difficult.

The Cave Heaven entrance was small, fitting only one person. Ye Liuyun immediately led Chen Yueying and Li Qianjiao off the Flying Boat, then sent the Flying Boat back.

"Hm? You let them go?" Li Qianjiao asked, clearly puzzled.

"There's a tail behind us; I sent them back just to let the other side know we're few and easy to strike!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, gave them a brief explanation, then told the two: "We'll continue the expedition as usual. Stay behind me, one holding the other; make sure to hold on, lest the Secret Realm split us and teleport us apart."

Ye Liuyun didn't want to pull Chen Yueying and Li Qianjiao into the Space World right in front of that Demon Cultivator.

"Pulling their clothes might not hold them!" Chen Yueying immediately warned Ye Liuyun.

"Then we'll pull by hand. Qianjiao, you take the front, ready your weapon and defend."

Ye Liuyun didn't think twice, instantly changed tactics, grabbing one with each hand and heading toward the Cave Heaven entrance.

Both women flushed as he pulled them, yet obediently let him guide them, feeling the warmth of his palms, their hearts pounding.

"Ready? If you're ready, let's go in," Ye Liuyun prompted the two.

At the same time, he readied his War God Armor to manifest instantly upon entering the Cave Heaven; otherwise, with both hands occupied pulling people, he couldn't launch attacks and would have to rely on the armor for defense.

Li Qianjiao and Chen Yueying snapped to attention after his reminder, each drawing their weapons, preparing for battle, and then the three entered the entrance together.

"The kid's luck is good, huh? Exploring the Secret Realm with two beauties!"

The Demon Cultivator observing from afar also halted his Flying Boat when they stopped, watching from a distance. He waited until he confirmed

that Ye Liuyun had entered the Secret Realm, then took out a Transmission Talisman to report to Duanmu Hall.

Many Helm Masters of Duanmu Hall saw this as a prime chance to eliminate Ye Liuyun, so they immediately mobilized five or six hundred people, rushing toward the Five Elements Cave Heaven. Their goal was to enter the Cave Heaven and assassinate Ye Liuyun, delivering a heavy blow while he was on his mission.

At the same time, other Helm Masters were gathering troops, planning to seal the Cave Heaven's entrance with a few hundred more after they entered, creating a double safeguard, vowing to finish Ye Liuyun there.

Ye Liuyun, with the two women, entered the Cave Heaven and immediately began scouting the surroundings.

It resembled a starry sky, and within were five Xingqiu. The five Xingqiu emitted faint lights of different colors, corresponding to the five elements.

Ye Liuyun's party was positioned within the starry sky, and there was no immediate danger, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, both women still clutched Ye Liuyun's hand, showing no intention of letting go.

"It's safer here; relax a bit, no need to be so tense!" Ye Liuyun thought they were nervous.

But both of them blushed, released their hands, exchanged a glance, and a smile twinkled at the corners of their eyes.

Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to examine the five Xingqiu again, confirming they indeed matched the five attributes, so he didn't bother choosing further and directly selected the one emitting red light, representing the fire element.

He also released Qiong Qi, Zhu Que, and the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, letting them all absorb some Fire Flame Power together.

Ye Liuyun also considered pulling Li Qianjiao back into the Space World first, since she lacked Fire Flame Power and wasn't suited for adventure there.

"Let me try first; even if I don't absorb, I can still temper myself!" Li Qianjiao replied, hoping to hold out as long as possible.

"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun didn't object, and immediately led everyone over.

Qiong Qi was most sensitive to fire sources, so Ye Liuyun let him lead the way at the front.

As Qiong Qi walked, he excitedly said to Ye Liuyun, "Kid, you've hit the jackpot now. The Fire Flame Power here comes in many varieties—both yin and yang flames—and combined, they're certainly not weaker than your own Fire Flame Power!"

"That's fine; everyone can absorb more!" Ye Liuyun replied, without exaggerating as Qiong Qi did.

As long as there are good resources here, he felt the trip wasn't in vain. He didn't particularly care who absorbed them.

"This Cave Heaven should be a Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivator's Cave Heaven World," Li Qianjiao recalled telling Ye Liuyun.

"Oh? How did you judge that?" Ye Liuyun asked, curious.

"Usually you need at least two Xingqiu to call it a Cave Heaven World. Then each time you ascend a realm, you need at least one more Xingqiu," Li Qianjiao replied.

"What about my Space World? I've always been curious about that!" Ye Liuyun asked Li Qianjiao.
