Chapter 481: Despicable Scoundrel

Wu Qingcheng chatted with Liang Xue for a good half hour. Afterwards, Lei Ming and Yu Er also followed into the room to persuade Liang Xue.

In the end, a few women's laughs came from inside the room.

Ye Liuyun was quite curious about what they were discussing, but he dared not listen and could only pace back and forth in the courtyard.

While Ye Liuyun was irritated, a Heavenly Gang Eightfold aura of a strongman suddenly enveloped the entire courtyard.

"Where is Xue'er?" a white-bearded elder, appearing in the sky above the courtyard, asked via Transmission Voice.

Inside the room, Liang Xue and the others hurriedly ran out.

"Master?" Liang Xue was puzzled, wondering why her master would come here looking for him.

At that moment, He Liancheng's figure hurriedly caught up with the elder, looking smugly at Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue.

"Come with me back!" the elder commanded Liang Xue directly.

"Master! This is my fiancé Ye Liuyun; he just arrived today…"

Seeing He Liancheng, Liang Xue guessed he must have said something behind her, but before she could finish explaining, the elder cut her off.

"You don't need to explain! You're still young and immature; I'm doing this for your own good! Your achievements are destined to be beyond what this boy can match! Hurry and follow me back to cultivate, lest you regret later!" the elder said domineeringly.

"No, I'm not going back. Who I marry is my own business. I don't need you, master, to worry about it." Liang Xue also became stubborn.

"What? You won't even listen to your master?" the elder instantly became angry, his face flushed with rage.

"Other matters may be fine, but this one is not. Moreover, my father has already betrothed me to Ye Liuyun; it cannot be changed. I hope you, master, respect my choice." Liang Xue said stubbornly.

At the same time, she sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "This is my master Wei Yusong."

Ye Liuyun glanced at the elder but did not bother to greet him. His attitude made it clear he was a haughty old man.

Wei Yusong frowned, feeling his reasoning was shaky. He immediately changed his tone, invoking Lingxi Palace, and demanded that Liang Xue return at once.

"Don't forget, you are now a disciple of Lingxi Palace! You must obey my orders. Return with me immediately."

"I'm not going back. Lingxi Palace never said disciples can't leave the palace, right? I'm here to see my fiancé; what's wrong with that?" Liang Xue retorted immediately.

"Huh? If you don't go back now, you shall never ever return!" Wei Yusong, seeing this, continued to raise the threat.

"If I don't go back, I won't! The disciple thanks you, master, for your cultivation; I will repay you later! From now on, I will never return to Lingxi Palace." Liang Xue said firmly, stepping to Ye Liuyun's side and linking his arm.

Ye Liuyun was deeply moved by Liang Xue's resolve. He had no idea that, because of Su Miaoyin's matter, Liang Xue already regretted parting with him. Any Martial Arts Future without Ye Liuyun seemed meaningless.

Ye Liuyun's impression of the elder plummeted. He hadn't expected Liang Xue's master to be so unreasonable. If not for Liang Xue's face, he would have cursed and even acted on the spot.

He's only a Heavenly Gang Eightfold Martial Cultivator, and he still feels no fear. Even Lei Ming can strike him.

Wei Yusong was stunned to see Liang Xue so resolute. This Liang Xue was not only his prized disciple but also highly regarded by the entire Lingxi Palace, with limitless future prospects. He didn't expect that with just two sentences, he had persuaded her away.

He only intended to threaten Liang Xue, not expecting that she would abandon Lingxi Palace's cultivation resources for a kid from a tiny place.

Wei Yusong felt extremely frustrated, yet was embarrassed to immediately change his tone and speak gently to Liang Xue, so he vented his anger onto Ye Liuyun.

"Let me see what a ragtag kid from a poor remote village can do, daring to snatch a disciple from our Lingxi Palace!" the elder snorted coldly and signaled He Liancheng to act.

"Even a kid from a poor remote village has principles and limits. Xue'er is personally betrothed to me by her father; what right do you have to interfere? Even if you're her master, that's overstepping, right? Using a Sect to threaten her? For someone your age to utter such words?"

Ye Liuyun's words choked the elder, turning his face red.

"You… you're ruining Xue'er's future!" the elder finally used Liang Xue's future as an excuse.

"If Lingxi Palace is full of despicable scoundrels like He Liancheng and a bunch of unreasonable Elders, Xue'er is better off not staying there!" Ye Liuyun said disdainfully.

That was Ye Liuyun's sincere thought. If Lingxi Palace truly is such an environment, staying long will inevitably affect a person. One may advance in realm, but character gets ruined; then what meaning does Martial cultivation have?

"Audacious brat, daring to slander my Lingxi Palace! Come out for a duel. Do you only have the courage to hide behind a woman?"

He Liancheng, thinking he had the upper hand, shouted at Ye Liuyun.

"Liuyun, don't hold back; kill him outright!" Liang Xue didn't use Divine Sense Transmission Voice; she directly and firmly told Ye Liuyun.

"What? Junior sister, you know my feelings for you. You actually let this kid kill me?" He Liancheng could hardly believe his ears.

"Despicable scoundrel! You've entangled me repeatedly, and now you bring my master here. People like you are like a toad dreaming of swan meat. Killing you would spare others from your future harm!" Liang Xue said coldly.

With Ye Liuyun by her side, she truly feared nothing. She simply knew she never wanted to be separated from Ye Liuyun again.

"Good! Good! Good!" He Liancheng shouted three times, his face twisted, and snarled at Liang Xue: "Then I'll show you who kills whom today!"

Saying that, he directly attacked Ye Liuyun, unleashing his Heavenly Gang Domain, covering both of them, disregarding Liang Xue beside Ye Liuyun.

Liang Xue hurriedly dodged to avoid hindering Ye Liuyun's strike.

Ye Liuyun didn't even move; he simply released his own Heavenly Gang Domain, which collided violently with He Liancheng's Heavenly Gang Domain.

Ye Liuyun's Heavenly Gang Domain, however, was fused with the Soul's Thunder Fire Domain.

With this move, he not only blasted He Liancheng's domain away, but his Soul domain dragged He Liancheng's Soul into it. Moreover, the eight‑layer realm's Soul Buddha‑Demon Giant Shadow struck instantly, leaving no time for Wei Yusong to intervene, shattering He Liancheng's Soul.
