Chapter 404: Storming the County Town

"You can keep their Flying Boat; later it can serve as a means of transport!" Ye Liuyun looked at the opposite Flying Boat and said to Su Miaoyin.

"Alright then, thanks!" Su Miaoyin didn't hold back. She also understood Ye Liuyun's meaning; they would part sooner or later, and having a transport tool would be more convenient.

Su Miaoyin walked over and collected the Flying Boat. Wu Qingcheng watched Su Miaoyin's back, and taking the chance used Transmission Voice to say to Ye Liuyun: "Can you really be so heartless, letting a girl venture alone in this unfamiliar place?"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit reluctant, but said: "What can be done? I can't possibly take care of everyone I meet, can I? I can't look after them all! A short pain is better than a long one; this is good for both of us. Besides, how can she grow without facing danger?"

Wu Qingcheng was pleased to see Ye Liuyun not flirting, but she still said: "Actually I don't mind you taking more women. You're so outstanding; many will like you. I guess Sister Liang could also understand you…"

"Stop! Are you trying to build a harem for me?" Ye Liuyun quickly cut off Wu Qingcheng's words, grabbed her hand and applied a little force as punishment.

Wu Qingcheng smiled and said nothing more.

At this moment Lei Ming had already frozen the opponent with ice, then a Blood Thunder shattered it, and only then, exhilarated, transformed into human form and returned to Ye Liuyun's side to show off.

Ye Liuyun praised her a few words, then led everyone onward toward the county town.

"We should go storm Chengzhu Fu, right? How dare they try to intercept us." Lei Ming clearly wasn't satisfied yet. The others all agreed. Some of them hadn't even moved yet.

Su Miaoyin stared blankly at the scene. These people were too warlike.

"We just arrived here; shouldn't we keep a low profile?" she cautioned.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind much. He already caused enough trouble himself, so he understood a principle: when weak, if you don't provoke others, they will still bully you and even frame you. When strong, causing trouble is no problem.

"First let's scout the situation; if Chengzhu Fu isn't strong, we can use the chance to practice. As for those of low realms, ignore them. And let's rob Chengzhu Fu to see how wealthy these people are."

Su Miaoyin was speechless, only muttering inwardly: "Why do these guys look so much like bandits?"

Ye Liuyun and his group piloted the Flying Boat, swaggering toward Jiangbei County Town. Before entering, Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to probe the city's strongmen, especially Chengzhu Fu.

The situation was far better than he expected. He thought Chengzhu Fu's soldiers were all Sea Transformation realm, so at least a Heavenly Gang sixth or seventh layer strongman would be stationed.

However, in reality, Chengzhu Fu now had only the City Lord himself at the highest realm, Heavenly Gang first layer. There were also two first‑layer Heavenly Gang guards. No other experts.

The defending soldiers were mostly True Essence Realm, with only a few Sea Transformation.

"Nothing special." After learning the situation, Ye Liuyun had a plan, and without disembarking the Flying Boat, headed straight for Chengzhu Fu.

Usually in a county town, Flying Boats are prohibited from taking off or landing directly. Regulations require landing or taking off outside the city to avoid disturbing civilians.

Ye Liuyun's flamboyant act would undoubtedly provoke the defending soldiers' obstruction.

"Stop the Flying Boat immediately!"

"What person dares to trespass the county town!"

At once, soldiers' shouts to halt rang out.

Ye Liuyun, on the Flying Boat, calmly replied: "I'm going to find the City Lord; anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way."

The city's Leader wouldn't be threatened by him. He ordered the soldiers to attack directly while dispatching someone to inform the City Lord.

Ye Liuyun didn't disembark; instead he sent Bai Hu and Shi Yuan out to sweep the soldiers daring to attack the Flying Boat. These two love slaughter and destruction; after revealing their true forms, they kill soldiers on sight and push buildings aside, but they spare ordinary civilians.

The city's Leader, only at Yuan Dan Sixfold, was pierced by Bai Hu's Golden Light into a sieve. Shi Yuan's massive body could kick a hole through the city wall with a single foot, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

Soon, the wall's defenders were scattered by the two. Bai Hu and Shi Yuan cleared the way ahead, while Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat followed slowly toward Chengzhu Fu.

The City Lord, having received the report, immediately gathered high‑realm Elders and guards inside the residence, preparing a strict defense.

Ye Liuyun only disembarked in front of Chengzhu Fu, surveyed the City Lord and his subordinates, then asked: "Who makes the decisions here?"

"I am the City Lord of Jiangbei County Town, Kang Yongzhi. Who are you, and why are you storming my Chengzhu Fu?"

The City Lord, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's group's realms, breathed a sigh of relief, yet he dared not act rashly, fearing Ye Liuyun might have backing.

Ye Liuyun let out a light snort and retorted: "You don't even know me, yet you dare send people to capture me? You must be used to acting recklessly."

"Eh? You're that kid who appeared in the Secret Realm? From the Five Domains?" Realizing Ye Liuyun's identity, the City Lord's tone became blunt.

"That's right, your memory serves you well—it's me!" Ye Liuyun's face bore a mocking smile.

The City Lord heard that and his nose almost twisted in anger. A kid from the Outer Region, with little foundation and a low realm, daring to cause trouble at Chengzhu Fu—what a joke!

"Tear them apart!" City Lord Kang Yongzhi finally regained his composure and, with a command, his men immediately surged forward. Facing these low‑realm brats was their chance to earn merit.

"Since you won't repent, I'll have to speak with my fists! Let's start killing!"

Ye Liuyun also called his companions to charge. Lei Ming was the first, transforming into her Thunder Dragon Beast form and lunging at the City Lord. She feared that if she delayed, the City Lord would be taken by Ye Liuyun for practice.

"That girl! Competing for the opponent!" Ye Liuyun muttered, and instead of chasing Lei Ming, he fought a Heavenly Gang Realm guard.

The other Heavenly Gang guard was snatched by Bai Hu. Though he was at Yuan Dan Eighth Layer, he was very warlike. Lei Ming could fight a Heavenly Gang first layer, so he naturally wouldn't accept defeat.

Outside Chengzhu Fu, the area was quickly reduced to ruins. Ye Liuyun's opponent couldn't even withstand his Bà Tiān Divine Fist.

"Too weak!" Ye Liuyun said after finishing him, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

Looking back at Lei Ming, she had already pulverized the City Lord into mush. Bai Hu also wasn't at a disadvantage. After his last injury, he had taken a weaker Physical Body, so he had been strengthening his Physical Body's defense. Opponents couldn't affect him. Now Bai Hu was enveloped in Golden Light, giving him a faint divine‑beast aura.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er, this time the two fought together. Within dozens of meters around them, low‑realm Martial Cultivators were frozen by ice. High‑realm ones were mesmerized by Wu Qingcheng's illusionary Snow Butterfly, forgetting to fight; when the Snow Butterfly landed on them, they turned into ice statues.

"The combined strike of these two is quite powerful!" Ye Liuyun observed, surprised. "It seems their attributes match and their techniques complement each other; together they have a great advantage!" Ye Liuyun estimated that their joint effort could easily wipe out opponents below the Heavenly Gang Realm.
