Chapter 413: No One Is Spared

Seeing that Ye Liuyun agreed, Wu Qingcheng finally summoned Su Miaoyin.

"Sister Miaoyin, now you can rest easy! But even though you got there first, you still have to call me sister," Wu Qingcheng said with a smile to Su Miaoyin.

Su Miaoyin's face flushed shyly as she softly called Wu Qingcheng "sister," then grabbed Wu Qingcheng's arm and hid behind her.

Su Miaoyin had actually been inside the Golden Lotus earlier and had already heard their conversation. She had been very nervous, fearing Ye Liuyun would reject her. Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun said he would take responsibility and considered her safety, so now she feels completely happy.

Since everything has its order, Wu Qingcheng called her "sister," and she gladly accepted. Deep down she is also grateful for Wu Qingcheng's generosity; otherwise she might have left outright.

Thus she feels only gratitude toward Wu Qingcheng, no jealousy or other emotions. Wu Qingcheng is also very satisfied with Su Miaoyin. In terms of mind, looks, figure, cultivation, talent, Su Miaoyin leaves nothing to criticize, and they get along perfectly.

Then Wu Qingcheng had Ye Liuyun summon everyone out and publicly announced the relationship between Su Miaoyin and Ye Liuyun.

"Fine, little brother! You locked us up and are having fun with Sister Su outside!" Lei Ming only then realized what had happened and couldn't help feeling jealous.

Ye Liuyun was already embarrassed, and Lei Ming's words made his face turn bright red. He hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think! Miaoyin was poisoned just now, and I was helping her detoxify."

"Detoxifying also means sleeping together?" Lei Ming asked, puzzled.

"Girl, don't make it hard for him; this isn't his fault. Come over, I'll tell you!" Wu Qingcheng, seeing this, defended Ye Liuyun, pulled Lei Ming over, and explained the situation to him, Yu Er, and Ru Yue.

As for Bai Hu and Shi Yuan, as long as they know Ye Liuyun has taken another wife, they'll just protect him in future fights. Such matters are normal to them; they don't care at all.

Ye Liuyun waited until the women finished chatting, then led everyone into the passage. There is no way back in this tomb; they can only move forward.

The passage has no traps. The simpler it is, the more cautious Ye Liuyun becomes. Before entering the next cavern, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense already probed ahead.

Wan Chongshan and Gu Laotou'er are both here!

"Huh, these two haven't left yet?" Ye Liuyun, curious, quickened his pace and simultaneously stored everyone into the Storage Ring. They are no match for the two, and can't help from outside.

Su Miaoyin was taken advantage of last time; this time she immediately activated the Golden Lotus, fully enveloping herself, sealed it, and followed Ye Liuyun. In fact, her Golden Lotus is completely sealed and can block poison; she just didn't realize that before.

When they rushed into the cavern, Gu Laotou'er and Wan Chongshan, who had been cultivating, opened their eyes, stopped their cultivation, stood up, and prepared to fight.

"Little brother, you arrived just in time; let's take revenge together and kill this bandit leader!" Gu Laotou'er invited Ye Liuyun to strike Wan Chongshan together.

"Ha ha, little brother, you should thank me for giving you a free advantage. That old Gu also obtained the Poison Dragon inheritance. How about we kill him together and snatch his inheritance?"

"Didn't you also get the Poison Dragon inheritance? Killing you would also yield it," Gu Laotou'er desperately vied for Ye Liuyun.

For a moment, the two fought over it. They were evenly matched and hadn't acted yet; now whichever side Ye Liuyun supports will win.

"My inheritance is poison; what's the use for you, little brother? Unlike yours, which is a secret mechanism art—anyone who learns it can use it," Wan Chongshan argued. "Besides, I still carry a lethal toxin. Attacking me is extremely dangerous!" Wan Chongshan looked at Ye Liuyun with a half‑tempting, half‑threatening gaze.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun tossed a Skeleton Puppet at Wan Chongshan and shouted to Gu Laotou'er, "Attack!"

In an instant, the Skeleton Puppet and Gu Laotou'er struck Wan Chongshan together, while Su Miaoyin used the Golden Lotus to envelop Ye Liuyun as well. She didn't know Ye Liuyun possessed the Ten Thousand Gods Command, which expels any poison from the body.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun looked at her gratefully. Su Miaoyin, gathering courage, grabbed Ye Liuyun's hand, not wanting future encounters with him to be awkward for both sides.

Ye Liuyun also saw this as a chance to ease the awkwardness, so he didn't refuse. He shook her hand, then led her, keeping an eye on the battle.

Realizing he couldn't beat the Puppet and Gu Laotou'er together, Wan Chongshan immediately used poison, spawning a swirl of Black Fog that forced Gu Laotou'er to leap away, unwilling to approach.

At the moment he was fully focused on leaping away from the poison fog, a tiny worm slipped in through his pant leg. It was the Corpse-Eating Worm King that had entered earlier.

It had been here for a long time, hiding underground. Only when Ye Liuyun arrived did it contact him and, per his request, quietly strike Gu Laotou'er.

A normal attack would certainly be noticed by Gu Laotou'er. Only by exploiting his combat focus and the worm's tiny body can it strike unawares.

In truth, Ye Liuyun isn't interested in the inheritances the two obtained. However, both are cunning veterans who once tried to use him as cannon fodder, so he doesn't intend to let them go.

The Corpse-Eating Worm had already scouted the situation for him. The inheritances the two received are only a small portion; better things lie at the top of the cavern and beneath the ground.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun calmly watches the Skeleton Puppet battle Wan Chongshan. Wan Chongshan's poison has no effect on the Puppet; it is an inanimate object controlled by Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and cannot be poisoned.

Wan Chongshan realized this and switched to a massive soul‑poison. Yet this toxin was instantly burned away by the Nether Ghost Fire that envelops the Skeleton Puppet's Sea of Consciousness, never reaching Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense.

The Skeleton Puppet seized the moment Wan Chongshan released poison, slashing off one of his arms with a sword, then swung an axe at his back, nearly cleaving his spine.

Wan Chongshan, true to his ruthless nature, didn't even hum, lunged forward, and without looking back shot into another passage. As soon as he left, the passage door slammed shut, sealing everyone inside.

"We're trapped! We can't get out!" Gu Laotou'er said anxiously upon seeing this.

Suddenly, he let out a wailing "Ah!" It was the Corpse-Eating Worm, which had already burrowed into him and begun gnawing his innards. Meanwhile, the Skeleton Puppet, seeing the cave door sealed and unable to pursue Wan Chongshan, turned back and swung an axe at Gu Laotou'er.

Gu Laotou'er hadn't figured out how to deal with the worm inside him and had to hurriedly fend off the Skeleton Puppet's attack, forcing him to marshal all his True Essence to resist the blow. Meanwhile, the worm advanced faster, lunged for his heart, pierced it, and then raced toward his brain.

With his heart pierced, Gu Laotou'er couldn't move fast enough and was split in two by the Skeleton Puppet's sword.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun activated the Thunder Fire Domain, pulling his Soul into it, where it was devoured together with the Hell Mingshe.

"All the corpses here are yours; take your minions and clean up the battlefield!" Ye Liuyun didn't forget the Corpse-Eating Worm's contribution, letting it enjoy the spoils.

The Corpse-Eating Worm King gave a call, and more Corpse-Eating Worms surged from the ground, instantly chewing Gu Laotou'er into a pile of white bones, then they tunneled through walls toward other corpses.
