Chapter 3852: Blood‑Bathing the Small Town

"Fine, if you say they should be killed, then they should be killed!"

Heaven's Way's blind support of Ye Ling for Ye Liuyun is also beyond comment.

In the martial world, the strong are supreme, and that's not something she can change. So she never interferes in such worldly matters.

Regarding Ye Liuyun's actions, she also makes no judgment; everyone has their own choices.

What she must do is guard this realm. As for the people and things within, even if a batch is wiped out, another will arise, and she doesn't care.

Ye Liuyun couldn't hear Heaven's Way's reply and fell into contemplation, wondering how the world would change if he became a deity someday.

But he also thought that such matters are everywhere; perhaps even if one wanted to manage them, it would be impossible.

He then stopped pondering them; the more he thought, the more tangled they became, and he couldn't make sense of them, so he decided to sort himself out first.

His Divine Sense had already detected that the local garrison was gathering, and Martial Cultivators inside Chengzhu Fu were also converging, about to strike.

There were no real masters in this small town; even just Monster Beast and the women were enough to handle it.

He told the tavern manager to prepare a few more tables of food and drink, and released the Kuailei, Monster Beast, and women.

"Later the Monster Beast and the women will fight; when they're tired they can return to the tavern to rest and eat. The Kuailei should watch, capture some Souls, and help clean the battlefield."

"Food!" Lei Ming was the first to dash to the table, grabbed a piece of meat and shoved it into his mouth, putting the fighting aside to eat first.

The Kuailei helped clean the tavern, set up a few tables again, and let everyone sit and wait.

Onlookers who saw so many women emerge again had their eyes light up one by one.

"These people are truly hopeless. They're indifferent to Hua Manrong, yet turn lecherous at the sight of a woman!" Wu Qingcheng shook her head helplessly.

"Then kill them all! Chi Lian, it's all yours, resolve it quickly! The City Lord's people are coming!" Ye Liuyun immediately ordered Chi Lian to clear the field.

"I'm coming too!" Zhu Que followed Chi Lian out of the tavern, using Soul Fire to start slaying the onlooking Martial Cultivators.

"They're killing people, run!"

Some Martial Cultivators shouted in panic and fled.

But Chi Lian wouldn't let them escape easily; she moved to the perimeter, expanded the range of blood‑vein absorption, and enveloped those people within it.

Zhu Que also assisted Chi Lian, focusing on those who were strong and fast.

"Our opponent has arrived!"

Before Zhu Que and Chi Lian could finish clearing the people outside the gate, Lei Ming's Divine Sense detected the City Lord's forces charging in, and the garrison was also mobilizing here.

"Let's go!"

Ye Liuyun also stood up, evidently to find a suitable opponent to spar with.

He led the group to stand at the tavern entrance, waited for the City Lord to arrive, then sliced Hua Manrong's head with a single strike, deliberately provoking the City Lord.

The City Lord's eyes turned blood‑red with anger, and he led his men to strike outright.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, acted directly, using Space Translocation to maneuver around the City Lord, appearing beside him from time to time to punch him.

The City Lord was only a fifth‑rank Cave Heaven Realm Martial Cultivator, and Ye Liuyun wasn't worried at all. The other Monster Beasts were the same, using those people for practice.

The women waited until the garrison arrived before acting. The Martial Cultivators of Chengzhu Fu were all Dòngtiān Jìngjiè, so they weren't opponents; they could only spar with the soldiers.

The Kuailei interspersed themselves on the battlefield, gathering Souls and corpses, cleaning the field at any time.

The buildings outside the tavern were flattened one by one, soon reduced to a wreck, yet with the Formation of the painter's support, the tavern remained unharmed.

When the City Lord saw he wasn't a match for them, he immediately declared Ye Liuyun and his group rebels to the whole city, demanding all Martial Cultivators to act, otherwise he would later deal with them as rebel accomplices.

Ye Liuyun waited until the proclamation was finished before continuing to act. As for the Martial Cultivators here, whether he kills them or not makes no difference. If they bring ruin upon themselves, willing to aid tyranny, he will certainly show no mercy.

The Martial Cultivators here were indeed frightened by the City Lord's move, assuming Ye Liuyun's side was few and easy to bully, so they rushed to help.

"Kill them! They're hopeless!"

Ye Liuyun only gave the women a warning. The Monster Beasts needed no reminder; they would be anything but courteous!

Thus they began to strike without restraint, and the combat zone kept expanding.

The ordinary townsfolk had already begun fleeing the city, avoiding the battle's spillover. That suited Ye Liuyun's group perfectly, preventing harm to the innocent.

When most of the civilians had fled, Ye Liuyun released the Magic Vine.

"Seal all Martial Cultivators inside the city here. Keep this tavern, the rest is up to you!"

Ye Liuyun had made up his mind; he would not spare any Martial Cultivator who joined the fight.

Some Martial Cultivators reacted quickly, seeing Ye Liuyun's side gaining the upper hand, they immediately begged for mercy, even offering to help Ye Liuyun's group against Chengzhu Fu.

But Ye Liuyun simply ignored their attitude; he killed them on sight, regardless of whom they were targeting.

The City Lord had been worn down until his True Essence was exhausted, and he launched a Spiritual Soul Attack at him. As expected, the City Lord's Soul was thrown by him into the Soul‑Refining Cauldron for refinement.

With the City Lord gone, those Martial Cultivators scattered in a panic, fleeing for their lives.

But the Magic Vine extended its vines, enveloping the entire small town, making escape impossible.

Some Martial Cultivators hid everywhere, yet the Magic Vine even smashed intact buildings, forcing them out of cover.

After half a day, the whole town gradually fell silent.

Ye Liuyun and his companions gradually returned to the tavern to eat and replenish their strength, while only the Kuailei and Magic Vine remained outside cleaning the battlefield.

"Big brother, are we going to keep fighting like this all the way?" Lei Ming asked Ye Liuyun excitedly.

"Yes!"

Ye Liuyun replied affirmatively, telling them to stay ready for combat at all times and keep their True Essence abundant.

"Oh yeah!" Lei Ming shouted, speeding up his eating.

The tavern manager was now terrified, never expecting these people to be so ruthless. He dared not waste any more words; they would give them whatever they wanted, just hoping to keep a single life.

Ye Liuyun ignored him, and after finishing his meal, led the group to cultivate here for recovery.

After they all restored their True Essence, he didn't forget to settle the bill, tossing some Divine Crystals to the manager before leading the group away.

This time they didn't use a Flying Boat, instead soaring through the air to rush toward a larger city, still heading northwest, though at a much slower pace.

After they left, the tavern manager looked at the Crystal Stone in his hand, both laughing and crying.

This time he didn't lose anything; he actually made money.

But now, within the whole city, only this restaurant remains intact. Later, if the authorities investigate, they might frame him as an accomplice.

So he could only helplessly call in all the staff, pay them off and dismiss them, then everyone left the restaurant to flee for their lives.
