Chapter 494: The Horn Resounds

Ye Liuyun seized the positional advantage, smashing down with the Mourning Bell and attacking with a Soul domain. By the time the iron chain slammed into the cliff wall, he had already eliminated most of the He family's Martial Cultivators.

He also did not linger in battle, directly slipping into the void and vanishing on the spot.

As the iron chain approached the cliff wall, He Weiqun and the others immediately grabbed the chain, planted their feet on the wall, and swiftly climbed the cliff.

They were indeed worried that Ye Liuyun might also cut this end of the iron chain.

Ye Liuyun did not do so. He kept the iron chain because he did not want the mountain range to become inaccessible later. Moreover, the chain still had other temporary uses.

Ye Liuyun traversed the void, arrived directly at the central point of the mountain range, and released Wu Qingcheng.

"Qingcheng, use the War Wolf Horn to summon all the ferocious beasts within this mountain range," Ye Liuyun told Wu Qingcheng.

"Alright." Wu Qingcheng did not ask why, immediately took out the horn, and blew it.

Awooo! The horn sounded like a wolf's howl.

The wolf howl echoed through the entire mountain range, and in an instant every ferocious beast that heard the horn rushed toward its source.

After Wu Qingcheng finished blowing the summoning horn, Ye Liuyun immediately retrieved her into the Storage Ring and then slipped into the void.

He Weiqun also noticed the beasts' abnormal behavior. His Divine Sense scattered, searching everywhere for Ye Liuyun. He did not see Ye Liuyun, but saw the beasts all heading toward the mountain's center.

He glanced toward the direction of the "wolf howl" but found nothing. After a brief hesitation, he still led the group to rush there, intending to investigate.

By intuition, he felt these beasts' movements were certainly linked to Ye Liuyun. Yet he was unsure of the specifics.

After Ye Liuyun and the He family approached the mountain's center, he reappeared, having Wu Qingcheng blow the horn again, ordering all the ferocious beasts to attack the He family.

When He Weiqun realized that Ye Liuyun and Wu Qingcheng had sounded the horn, he discovered that it was indeed Ye Liuyun's group who had blown it.

At this point, they were already very close to the beasts. Upon receiving the order, the beasts immediately pounced on them. The beasts could not harm He Weiqun himself, but several of his subordinates were instantly struck down.

He Weiqun realized he had been tricked, withdrawing with the He family while fighting. Meanwhile, the beasts pursuing them from behind gradually formed a beast tide, their threat growing ever larger.

"Damn guy. He actually has Beast Taming ability!" He Weiqun cursed inwardly, yet was helpless.

However, their retreat was cut off; without the iron chain, the He family's Elders and disciples could not return. They could only circle the beast herd within the mountains.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had already sent Wu Qingcheng back to rest; he himself followed the beast herd, using Cross-space Golden Pupil to ambush, extinguishing the Souls of five He Elders.

As a result, the He family members trailing He Weiqun now number only fifteen or sixteen.

He Weiqun felt angry, yet dared not stop to clash head‑on with Ye Liuyun. Now they relied entirely on him to block the fast‑charging beasts; otherwise the remaining He people would be caught.

The beasts each had blood‑red eyes, raging as if mad, utterly fearless. Their True Essence was being spent without restraint as they pursued from behind. Thus, if he halted, the beasts would surge forward and wipe out the entire squad.

Although fifteen or sixteen is few, they are the He family's only remaining hope.

But if he does not stop to block Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun will keep ambushing them, each time wiping out an Elder's Soul.

He is now torn between both choices.

Ye Liuyun kept moving behind the beasts, killing two more Elders. He Weiqun finally could not bear it any longer and charged at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun curled his mouth in a grin, raised his hand, and flung the Mourning Bell toward him.

He Weiqun dared not meet it head‑on, instantly leapt to dodge. Yet the Sealing Demon Tablet crashed down again. He could only evade once more.

Ye Liuyun retrieved the Mourning Bell and the Sealing Demon Tablet, encircling himself and assuming a defensive stance.

He Weiqun gritted his teeth, unleashed all his True Essence, and attacked Ye Liuyun. Yet this time Ye Liuyun did not block with the Mourning Bell or the Sealing Demon Tablet; instead he gathered the two treasures and vanished directly into the void.

He Weiqun was stunned, then muttered a bad omen. Looking back, he indeed saw the beasts had caught up to several He disciples and were biting.

Ye Liuyun's figure also appeared ahead of the fleeing He squad, the Mourning Bell smashing toward the fastest Martial Cultivator.

The Martial Cultivator could not dodge in time and could only strike with a Divine Fist. "Dong!" a massive blast shook all nearby running Martial Cultivators, sending them sprawling to the ground, rolling helplessly.

The Martial Cultivator who struck the Mourning Bell was instead crushed by it, dying on the spot. Ye Liuyun's Soul domain opened, and he harvested the lives of several Martial Cultivators.

"Ah!" He Weiqun's eyes widened. He rushed to a duel with Ye Liuyun, not expecting that Ye Liuyun's aim was to annihilate them all.

The beast pack: the leading beasts were knocked down by the Mourning Bell's sound, but the ones behind immediately pounced again. In an instant the He disciples could no longer escape, surrounded by the beasts.

Only then did Ye Liuyun give He Weiqun a beckoning hand, signaling that he could now fight.

"You brat! You've ruined my He family! Today I must destroy you!" He Weiqun, now frantic, charged fiercely at Ye Liuyun.

"It's your He family that's been at odds with me, yet you blame me?"

Ye Liuyun directly met He Weiqun with the Mourning Bell. He Weiqun no longer dodged, instead hurled a spiritual artifact, striking the Mourning Bell.

With He Weiqun's strength, the artifact could not stop the Mourning Bell, but it delayed it for a moment. He then slipped around the bell and kept charging at Ye Liuyun.

As soon as he exposed himself, the Sealing Demon Tablet slammed again. It turned out Ye Liuyun had already calculated that He Weiqun would find a way to block the Mourning Bell, so the tablet had been launched in advance.

This time He Weiqun was unprepared, and could only punch the Sealing Demon Tablet, trying to shatter it away.

But his punch enraged the Sealing Demon Tablet! The tablet, uncontrolled, autonomously hurled itself at him again.

Ye Liuyun could only smile helplessly, retrieve the Mourning Bell, ready to toss it out to block He Weiqun. The Sealing Demon Tablet truly was a vengeful stone; whoever struck it, it retaliated against them!

The Sealing Demon Tablet, capable of subduing even a Great Demon City, made dealing with He Weiqun far too easy. Under its lock‑on, He Weiqun could not even dodge.
