Chapter 593: The Enemy Comes Knocking

The Iron Eagle Sect's Ma Patriarch has just been awakened and still doesn't know the result of Ye Liuyun's martial contest.

Upon learning of Ye Liuyun's astonishing performance in the martial contest, he also praised it immensely.

Now he and Jing Wudi have fully taken Ye Liuyun as one of their own.

Ye Liuyun didn't conceal anything either; he voiced his intention to return to the Northern Region and received the support of the Patriarch and Jing Wudi.

"You should go back. Having ability yet not forgetting old friends is what a good man should do. Go ahead; whatever support you need, just tell us. The Iron Eagle Sect fully supports you!"

The three of them chatted a while longer in the secret cave; then Jing Wudi and Ye Liuyun stepped out, leaving the Patriarch to recover his realm alone.

Although Jing Wudi couldn't announce the Patriarch's recovery with a grand feast, he still couldn't help expressing his joy.

In the end, he used Ye Liuyun's welcome and the celebration of his first place in the martial contest as a pretext, prompting the entire Iron Eagle Sect to celebrate together.

Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to briefly share his experiences in the Secret Realm with everyone, and he distributed many cultivation resources he brought back to all.

While they were celebrating, news of Ye Liuyun's return spread across the Cangyun Continent.

As the news spread, some people couldn't sit still.

The first to rush to the Iron Eagle Sect was Elder Wei Yusong of Lingxi Palace.

Liang Xue entered that unnamed Inheritance Secret Realm together with Ye Liuyun. Now that only Ye Liuyun has returned, they naturally want to ask about the situation.

Next is Elder Yan Jiu of Fire Flame Palace. She painstakingly cultivated the disciples Lie Hongxia and Lie Hongyun, both of whom were crippled by Ye Liuyun and have not recovered; she cannot let Ye Liuyun go unpunished.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun entered the greatest Inheritance, gaining plenty of valuable things; she wants to use the chance for Lie Hongxia's revenge to probe the Inheritance Ye Liuyun obtained.

Other sects also have people scheming to snatch the Inheritance from Ye Liuyun.

But upon learning that Ye Liuyun's current realm is the Heavenly Gang Ninth Layer, and that Lei Ming and Long Nv are with him in the Iron Eagle Sect, many dare not act rashly. A misstep could set them ablaze.

Ye Liuyun's deeds in the Iron Eagle Sect have long been spread. Even the notorious assassin group Blood Hand dares not take contracts to assassinate Ye Liuyun.

Thus many know him as a ruthless person, who acts without scruples and repays vengeance without mercy.

The reason Ye Liuyun hasn't returned to the Northern Region immediately is that he heeded Jing Wudi's suggestion and waited here.

Waiting for those who might covet the Inheritance he obtained to come knocking.

Jing Wudi believes it's best to deal with those people within the Iron Eagle Sect, lest they be taken back to the Northern Region and further complicate Ye Liuyun's situation there.

Ye Liuyun agrees, so he stays in the Iron Eagle Sect, waiting to see if anyone will make a move against him.

Two days later, Ye Liuyun truly got a visitor.

Early that morning, a strong oppressive pressure enveloped the Iron Eagle Sect, startling Ye Liuyun into emerging.

To Ye Liuyun's delight, the arrival wasn't someone else but Yu Haotian, with whom he had a duel appointment.

"You've already reached the Heavenly Gang Ninth Layer?" Yu Haotian instantly recognized Ye Liuyun's realm. "Your advancement is far too rapid!"

"Indeed! If I'm not faster, I can't spar with you!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

"I came to seize the chance and fight a battle with you," Yu Haotian admitted directly.

"You're that eager?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Yu Haotian landed beside Ye Liuyun and explained, "I'm leaving this place soon; I probably can't delay much longer, which is why I'm eager to spar with you."

"Leaving here? Where to?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Yu Haotian replied outright, "My family assigned me to train at an outside-continent sect. I've been lingering, so I want to have a satisfying fight with you before I go."

"We might not even be able to fight!"

Ye Liuyun spoke, and Golden Pupil flickered as he gazed toward the distant sky.

A figure swooped rapidly from afar. Before it reached close, Transmission Voice shouted, "Ye Liuyun, you brat, come out!"

Yu Haotian and Ye Liuyun both furrowed their brows.

"You see, I reckon I've got plenty of trouble lately! Everyone knows I've returned. Whether it's business or not, they all come to stir things up with me."

Ye Liuyun smiled at Yu Haotian and flew through the air.

At this moment, Jing Wudi, accompanied by many Iron Eagle Sect Elders, prepared to meet the enemy.

"So it's Elder Wei of Lingxi Palace. You came here because of Liang Xue's matter?" Ye Liuyun realized it was Wei Yusong and immediately guessed his purpose.

Wei Yusong, though careless in his dealings, is deeply devoted to Liang Xue.

"Exactly! Quickly tell me, where have you hidden Snow Girl?" Wei Yusong pressed aggressively.

"Snow Girl is still in the Secret Realm, undergoing an Inheritance. The Inheritance she receives is rather special, so it will take some time before she emerges."

Ye Liuyun, aware of his temperament and seeing his concern for Liang Xue, didn't bother to argue and told him directly.

But Wei Yusong took no gratitude. "Do you think I'm a fool? Such an Inheritance shouldn't take that long! Did you kill Snow Girl in the Secret Realm to snatch the Inheritance? Or are you hiding her so she won't return to Lingxi Palace?"

Wei Yusong persisted in questioning Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun found Wei Yusong both infuriating and amusing; he had spoken the truth, yet he didn't believe it.

"Everything I said is true; believe it if you will! I see you're Snow Girl's master, so I won't make things difficult for you. Since you already know her whereabouts, stop meddling here."

"What? You call me meddling? If you don't hand over Snow Girl today, I won't let you go!" Wei Yusong, iron-willed today, intends to force Ye Liuyun to surrender Liang Xue, or else he'll cause a ruckus in the Iron Eagle Sect.

"Oh? How do you plan not to let me go? Last time at Lingxi Palace, you caused me a lot of trouble. I let it slide because you're Snow Girl's master. Now you're trying to cause trouble again? Is it that if I don't spar with you, you think I'm easy prey?"

Ye Liuyun no longer had patience to waste time with him. Wei Yusong's attitude was truly vile, reminding Ye Liuyun of the time he forced Liang Xue to leave him.

With new and old grudges combined, Ye Liuyun truly wanted to give him a lesson.

"Ha ha, you brat are really arrogant! You don't even regard us old bones?"

A raucous laugh shattered the standoff between Ye Liuyun and Wei Yusong. An elder, eyes blazing with fire, appeared above the Iron Eagle Sect.

"Fire-eyed Du Clan, come give an explanation!" the elder said offhand.

"Elder Yan Jiu of Fire Flame Palace also demands an explanation for my disciples!" At this moment, Elder Yan Jiu of the Fire Flame Palace manifested.
