Chapter 594: The Strong's Deterrence

Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile, and he didn't take these once lofty Elders very seriously.

His current strength is not weak either; even when facing the Yin Yang Yi Chong realm, he can still fight, so he feels confident.

He wasn't at all surprised that Elder Yan Jiu came to seek revenge, but he didn't understand why the Fire‑eyed Du family was getting involved.

"What business does the Du family have here? What relation are you to the Du family? Isn't Du Yuan living just fine?"

"I am Du Jiangnan, the Law‑Enforcing Elder of the Du family. Du Yuan leaked the family's cultivation technique and is being punished, locked away for reflection. Since you stole our Du family technique, you must return it. I will take you back to the Du family and erase the Divine Sense you stole from our technique!"

"Ha ha!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but laugh. "You actually came up with that! But rest assured, I'll soon compile your Du family technique and take it to the auction house for sale!"

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to bother with Du Jiangnan.

Talking about returning the technique is all nonsense; they're just trying to trick him back to the Du family and force him to hand over his Golden Pupil technique and inheritance.

Ye Liuyun is no child now; he's not that easy to deceive.

Moreover, he knows that whether he goes back to the Du family depends entirely on the relative strength.

If you have strength, you call the shots. It's that simple. Talking reasoning with people like that is what makes you a fool.

"Young one, you're too arrogant! You think no one can deal with you?" Du Jiangnan hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to give him no face and directly mock him.

"Stop wasting words on him! Let's join forces, take him down, and each get what we need!" Elder Yan Jiu suggested.

"Since when has Yan Palace become so shameless? Even the young one's grudges now need the old guys to intervene!" Jing Wudi stepped right up to Ye Liuyun, backing him up to show Iron Eagle Sect's stance.

"So, does Iron Eagle Sect intend to protect Ye Liuyun?" Yan Jiu didn't regard Jing Wudi at all, his words carrying a threatening tone.

Jing Wudi was originally Yan Jiu's junior and had always shown great respect toward them, but this time Yan Jiu barged in, and Jing Wudi could no longer care about that.

"Ye Liuyun is our Iron Eagle Sect disciple; we naturally must protect him."

Jing Wudi also knew that today's matter was destined to tear the face with Yan Jiu.

"Since Iron Eagle Sect wants to win by sheer numbers, don't blame us for joining together!" Du Jiangnan interjected, standing beside Yan Jiu and threatening Jing Wudi.

He also called out to Wei Yusong: "Elder Wei, shall we act together?"

Wei Yusong hesitated, still undecided whether to join them.

"Hmph, just because you're Iron Eagle Sect..." Yan Jiu said disdainfully to Jing Wudi.

Before Yan Jiu could finish, a stronger Yin‑Yang Realm pressure enveloped Yan Jiu and the other three.

Then Iron Eagle Sect Sect Master Ma Chenxing leapt through the air, arriving overhead.

"So it's little Yan Jiu? What can you expect from our Iron Eagle Sect?" The Sect Master smiled, but the authority in his words and the released aura made the three tremble slightly.

"The Sect Master has recovered?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the Sect Master to recover so quickly.

"Brother Ma... you... aren't injured?" Yan Jiu was at a loss for words upon seeing the suddenly appearing Sect Master Ma.

Rumors outside claimed that Iron Eagle Sect's Sect Master Ma was seriously injured and had been recuperating.

But now it seemed there were no signs of injury, and his spirit and realm were both fine.

Du Jiangnan, upon seeing the Sect Master Ma, involuntarily stepped back and thought, "Not good, that old guy really is faking illness!"

Only Wei Yusong, standing stiffly, shouted defiantly: "I'm just here with Ye Liuyun to demand an explanation, to ask how my disciple is doing, that's all. On what authority do you use pressure to crush me?"

"Get lost!" Ye Liuyun bellowed at Wei Yusong, startling him.

"You've been acting out repeatedly; did I give you any face?" he said, and Ye Liuyun launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on Wei Yusong.

His patience was limited; Wei Yusong's reckless behavior had made him extremely impatient.

Ye Liuyun's current Divine Soul Power already far surpasses early‑stage masters of the Yin‑Yang Realm, so dealing with the Heavenly Gang Eightfold Wei Yusong is very easy.

The Golden Armor Soul struck once and severely damaged Wei Yusong's Soul.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun's Soul warned him: "I've already told you the truth; crawl back to your Lingxi Palace and wait. If you provoke me again, I'll tear down your Lingxi Palace! Then the Hao family will become the example for your Lingxi Palace!"

After that, Ye Liuyun withdrew the Spiritual Soul Attack.

At that moment, Wei Yusong's face turned ashen.

He had always thought Ye Liuyun was easy to talk to. He didn't expect that this time Ye Liuyun would strike him directly, disregarding his master‑disciple relationship with Liang Xue.

"Could it be that I really overestimated myself?"

He should have realized it long ago. Although Liang Xue is his disciple, Ye Liuyun is not. Being courteous to you is giving you face, not granting you license to act recklessly.

Ye Liuyun's strength and influence on Cangyun Continent far exceed those of Wei Yusong.

Wei Yusong's Soul was injured, and his body still trembled, unable to recover, staring blankly at the Golden Pupil youth before him.

He only now realized that Ye Liuyun is a destined rising star, not someone he can manipulate at will.

Thinking that, he turned and left. He now understood that, given Ye Liuyun's relationship with Liang Xue, Ye Liuyun wouldn't deceive him.

Even if he were deceived, he would have no recourse. Now that he wanted to fight, he still couldn't defeat Ye Liuyun.

"One must speak with strength; otherwise any words are empty!" Ye Liuyun watched Wei Yusong walk away dejectedly, daring not to meddle further, and couldn't help but gain a deeper understanding of the phrase "the strong rule."

Look at Yan Jiu and Du Jiangnan; it's the same. In the face of strength, they immediately cower.

"Since Brother Ma stepped in, I won't involve myself in the juniors' grudges!" Yan Jiu declared over there.

"Young Master Ye is self‑taught; it can't be counted as stealing my Du family technique. I just didn't investigate properly before!" Du Jiangnan hurriedly tried to clear himself, hoping to leave.

Ye Liuyun said nothing, but looked at Sect Master Ma.

Since Sect Master Ma had already stepped forward, it was no longer his place to decide the fate of those two.

Sect Master Ma smiled at the two, had no intention of making things difficult, and simply waved his hand, letting them go.

"You're welcome to visit Iron Eagle Sect in the future!"

Then he said to Ye Liuyun: "As an elder, it's not right for me to strike down and bully them. The rest, you handle yourself!"

Immediately, he returned to the back mountain and continued his cultivation.
