Chapter 458

Ye Feng now thinks he knows why his companions were wiped out so quickly.

He thinks it's because of this Magic Vine seed.

Thus he both defended against Jing Wudi's attack and tried to destroy the Magic Vine seed, but the seed grew extremely fast; whenever he destroyed some vines, they immediately regrew, and even more Magic Vines took root and spread around him, increasing in number. The rate at which they drained his True Essence also grew faster.

Ye Liuyun saw the Magic Vine seed surrounding him, and immediately unleashed the Mourning Bell, trapping him inside.

Ye Feng also noticed that Ye Liuyun's treasure was extraordinary; he threw out an Honored-rank treasure sword to block, while trying to flee elsewhere.

But the vines around him instantly formed a net, trapping him. And the Honored-rank treasure sword he threw was also caught by the Mourning Bell, along with him, all locked inside.

An Honored-rank weapon couldn't even make the Mourning Bell pause for a moment. Ye Feng immediately realized how high the rank of this treasure was; it was on a completely different level.

So, he was comparatively smart and didn't dare to strike the Mourning Bell.

But since he didn't strike it, Ye Liuyun would do it instead. His current strength is no weaker than Tian Gang Liu Chong.

Ye Liuyun also didn't dare to strike it with his hand, fearing to attract the Underworld God's attention. He took out the Honored Implement Stone Stand he had captured and smashed it toward the bell. He worried that if his force was too weak, it wouldn't have the desired effect.

As a result, the Mourning Bell let out a huge "dong" sound, shaking Jing Wudi into a dazed state.

Inside, Ye Feng's Soul was instantly shattered. And the stone stand also immediately shattered into pieces, completely ruined.

Immediately, the Mourning Bell flew back into Ye Liuyun's hand. Meanwhile, Ye Feng's Physical Body was instantly invaded by the Magic Vine, which sucked dry his True Essence. At the same time, the other vines of the Magic Vine quickly retracted, turning back into a seed, which Ye Liuyun sucked back in.

"This treasure is really useful!" Ye Liuyun praised, then put away both the Mourning Bell and the Magic Vine together.

At that moment, Ye Feng's Tian Gang Domain completely dissipated, and his corpse fell straight down.

Jing Wudi also retracted his Tian Gang Domain and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! You brat, you made such a huge commotion, you almost muddled my Soul!"

Ye Liuyun also smiled helplessly. "I was afraid the commotion would be too small to kill him!"

Ye Liuyun didn't say what treasure it was, and Jing Wudi tacitly didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets; why be so nitpicky?

Ye Liuyun took the two strong fighters' Storage Rings and Ye Feng's Honored-rank treasure sword, and stored them all. He knew Jing Wudi would certainly not ask for these things, so he wasn't polite and directly put them into his own Storage Ring.

When they returned, the stunned members of the Iron Eagle Sect finally began to cheer.

Piao Yun then apologized aggrievedly to Ye Liuyun: "Sorry, Master, I didn't know this was the plan you and the Vice Sect Leader set; I delayed your actions!"

"You silly girl, you fought so hard for me, how could I blame you! I'm delighted beyond words! Here, these rewards are all for you!"

"True feelings are revealed in adversity." Ye Liuyun said, handing over the two Tian Gang Eight Layers experts' Storage Rings and the Honored-rank treasure sword directly to Piao Yun, without even looking at what was inside.

These treasures made everyone jealous. Not to mention that Honored-rank weapon, just the two Tian Gang Eight Layers experts' Storage Rings alone contain an unknown amount of treasure.

Nevertheless, no one contested Piao Yun for them. After all, they were exchanged for her desperate loyalty.

If they had known earlier how great the benefits were, and known Ye Liuyun was this strong, they would have rushed in earlier. Now they can only stare helplessly.

Piao Yun also didn't expect Ye Liuyun to give her so many good things. But she also knew Ye Liuyun's nature; so she thanked him and directly accepted them.

"Haha, Piao Yun, you still owe me thanks! I found you a good destination!" Jing Wudi interjected with a laugh, teasing Piao Yun.

Piao Yun's face flushed, and she also softly said thanks.

Jing Wudi's words obviously had a hidden meaning. Ye Liuyun, under public scrutiny, could only pretend not to understand and gave no response.

Immediately, everyone swarmed over, asking Ye Liuyun how he had killed those two strong fighters, which also helped relieve his predicament.

"Today our Iron Eagle Sect's prestige has been greatly shaken; tonight we'll hold a banquet, everyone celebrate together!" Jing Wudi was obviously also very delighted.

After this battle, Ye Liuyun's fame not only soared within the Iron Eagle Sect, but even throughout the Golden Peng Dynasty it caused a shockwave.

Because two Tian Gang Eight Layers Martial Cultivators attacked the Iron Eagle Sect, Martial Cultivators noticed right away. Some wanted to confirm whether the Sect Leader would actually intervene, while others were just there for the spectacle.

But everyone personally witnessed Ye Liuyun killing two Tian Gang Eight Layers experts. Although they weren't entirely clear on his exact method, the fact that a Tian Gang Two Layers cultivator could slay a Tian Gang Eight Layers expert—even with the aid of treasures—was unimaginable to many.

Thus various legends spread. Some even said Ye Liuyun was the personal disciple of the Iron Eagle Sect Leader, possessing treasures given by the Leader, etc.

Regarding these rumors, Ye Liuyun just laughed them off and never bothered to explain.

Anyway, as long as others know the Iron Eagle Sect can defeat Tian Gang Eight Layers Martial Cultivators, no one will dare provoke them; that's enough.

As for the Dark Night Demon Hall, its experts were already stretched thin; losing two top experts to the Iron Eagle Sect in one go, without having probed the Sect's depths, they naturally dared not send anyone else on risky missions.

Even if the Dark Night Demon Hall is strong, Martial Cultivators of Heavenly Gang levels seven to eight are not like roadside cabbage that you can just pick up; such experts usually can stand on their own and support a powerful sect.

In the Five Regions, they only sent one Heavenly Gang level eight expert, and they subdued the entire Five Regions. This shows how difficult it is to cultivate such top experts.

So this loss even affected their southern situation, forcing them to shrink their territory. Moreover, it was the west and south, two directions shrinking simultaneously. This loss, for them, can also be considered quite heavy!

Other big sects and clans that originally wanted to test the Iron Eagle Sect's strength, which used to often oppose the Iron Eagle Sect, have now also temporarily ceased. For a time, the Iron Eagle Sect rapidly grew.

The Golden Peng Dynasty even regarded Ye Liuyun as a thorn in their eye. Fortunately, they still don't know that Ye Liuyun dug up their Mineral Vein in the Secret Realm, abducted the princess, and killed several princes; otherwise they would have to fight Ye Liuyun to the death.

Now the Iron Eagle Sect also strictly protects Ye Liuyun; he spends most of his time at the main sect.
