Chapter 3827: Stirring Up a Sensation

Steward Huo never paid him any mind at all, and let out a cold snort.

"If you have something, just say it straight!"

In his eyes, Ye Liuyun and the other Martial Cultivators were merely tools for making money; the more he put on airs, the more obedient they became.

"This…" Ye Liuyun glanced at the women on either side, as if he had some unspeakable secret.

"Speak up!" Steward Huo finally noticed his expression.

"Alright then…"

Ye Liuyun pretended to be embarrassed and pulled out the corpses of the other two Martial Cultivators.

"Ah!"

The women let out a startled scream.

Steward Huo furrowed his brows and became serious.

"What's going on?"

Ye Liuyun seized the chance to say, "Elder Huo, your promotion opportunity has arrived!"

But after speaking, he looked as if he wanted to say more but held back.

Steward Huo lost any desire for amusement; seeing that two Great Void Ninth Level Martial Cultivators were dead, something must have happened. And with Ye Liuyun saying that, perhaps his chance truly existed.

So he finally ordered those around him to step back, wanting to hear Ye Liuyun's explanation.

When Ye Liuyun saw everyone withdraw, he immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

Steward Huo was only at the Cave Heaven First Level, his Divine Soul Power weak, so Ye Liuyun could handle him easily. The trouble was, the Steward's Sea of Consciousness contained a contract with his Sect. If Ye Liuyun erased that contract, his Sect would immediately notice.

"The arrow is on the string; it must be released!"

Ye Liuyun acted decisively, deciding to gather some information first. He erased the contract in the Steward's Sea of Consciousness and began a Soul Search.

"Identification formation—this Golden Wind Sect is pretty hard to infiltrate!"

Ye Liuyun discovered that the Golden Wind Sect had identification formations throughout its Sect; any Martial Cultivator without a contract would be detected upon entry. Posing as a disciple of the Golden Wind Sect was therefore impossible.

Moreover, the Golden Wind Sect had means to track disciples who had ever signed agreements with them, so Ye Liuyun could not keep Steward Huo by his side.

"The Sect's defenses are truly thorough!" Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly, gathered more information on the Golden Wind Sect, and then placed a Slave Seal on Steward Huo.

"Since we can't take him and can't disguise him, we have no choice but to kill him!"

With that in mind, Ye Liuyun collected the bodies from the ground, forced Steward Huo to hand over all his resources, stripped him of his years‑long fortune with nothing left, and then pulled his Soul into the Soul Refining Cauldron, refining it outright.

That scoundrel had committed countless crimes in the small town, bullying men and women alike—more vile than a bandit. Now that Ye Liuyun had met him, he would certainly not be spared.

He then fled through the void, and the mansion's guards could not detect any trace of him.

After leaving the town, he hurried toward the nearby large city, moving slowly while keeping an eye on passing Martial Cultivators. If the Golden Wind Sect dispatched investigators immediately, they would likely send people from the closest city first.

Sure enough, his Golden Pupil spotted two Martial Cultivators in golden robes rushing toward him from afar. Ye Liuyun had learned through Soul Search that such gold‑trimmed robes are the unmistakable attire of outer‑gate Stewards of the Golden Wind Sect.

Ye Liuyun met the two and blocked their path.

"Get out of the way! Golden Wind Sect business, and you blind thing dare to block the road!" a Golden Wind Sect Steward raised his hand and slapped at Ye Liuyun without asking why. gsxsw. c0

"Looks like these people are used to being arrogant!"

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, accelerated forward against the slap. One of the two was at the Second Stage of Dong Tian, the other at the Third Stage of Dong Tian, and neither could harm his Physical Body.

With a "Boom" muffled thud, Ye Liuyun was not blown away; instead, he drew even closer to them.

The two Golden Wind Sect Stewards finally realized Ye Liuyun was hard to deal with, and they halted, forming a strict formation.

"Who are you, daring to block a Golden Wind Sect Steward?" the Third Stage of Dong Tian powerhouse asked in a deep voice.

Ye Liuyun ignored him, released Chi Lian and Little Witch, and told the two, "The three of us cooperate, don't waste it!"

"Fine!" Little Witch, seeing the opponent's low realm, instantly braver, rushed at the weaker Martial Cultivator to absorb his fortune.

Chi Lian charged at the Third Stage of Dong Tian Martial Cultivator, while Ye Liuyun used only the Red Pupil Illusion Technique together with Chi Lian to immobilize that cultivator, forcing him to stand still, unable to retaliate.

Before Chi Lian finished draining that cultivator's Bloodline Power, Little Witch had already knocked the Second Stage of Dong Tian cultivator unconscious, tossed him aside, and completed the absorption of his internal fortune.

When Chi Lian's absorption was nearly complete, the two switched partners; after both finished absorbing, Ye Liuyun gathered the two cultivators' Souls into the Soul Refining Cauldron.

Then the two cultivators' Primordial Core were split evenly between Chi Lian and Little Witch; Ye Liuyun removed the Storage Ring, set the corpses ablaze, turning them to ash in one seamless motion.

At that moment, the local Golden Wind Sect branch was in an uproar. Three outer‑gate Stewards had died in succession—a phenomenon unheard of across the realms.

The branch's Vice Dean immediately summoned two hundred disciples and Elders from the Sect and set out for the nearby city to investigate.

The Golden Wind Sect's main Sect was not far from the city, and they arrived together with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw them enter a large courtyard, which was the residence of the local Golden Wind Sect Stewards.

"Since we've met, let's strike directly; drawing them out would be fine!"

Thinking that, Ye Liuyun followed them toward the Steward's residence.

When Ye Liuyun suddenly appeared inside the courtyard, the Golden Wind Sect members all jumped in surprise.

The branch's Vice Dean, a Cave Heaven Sixth Layer cultivator, had not detected Ye Liuyun in advance. Though Ye Liuyun's displayed realm was low, he still dared not be careless.

Thus his tone became much more courteous: "May I ask, young master, what brings you to our Golden Wind Sect residence?"

"Kill you!"

Ye Liuyun gave no courtesy, releasing the Monster Beasts and Kuailei, with the beasts handling combat and the puppets intercepting—clear division of labor.

Ye Liuyun and his clone each employed the Red Pupil Illusion Technique, beginning to snatch the Vice Dean's Soul. The Cave Heaven Sixth Layer Vice Dean lasted only a single breath before falling into the illusion; after his Soul was torn away by Ye Liuyun, a single punch from Long Nv blasted his Physical Body.

Ye Liuyun knew this person was a leader, so he specifically searched his Soul and unexpectedly found he was a Vice Dean. He was well acquainted with the branch's strength.

With that memory, Ye Liuyun found dealing with the local branch much easier. While fighting here, he already contemplated how to later eradicate the branch.
