Chapter 625: Meeting an Old Friend

Ye Liuyun now has his entire Soul manifested between Heavenly Earth; only a Soul stronger than his, also a spirit‑wanderer of Taixu, can attack his Soul.

But for everyone else, whether a physical attack or a Soul attack, it merely misses.

In the Dark Night Demon Hall, a woman cloaked in black robes now steps out of the Grand Hall, gazing up at the Golden Pupil in the sky.

"Is that you? Have you finally come?" the woman murmurs.

Ye Liuyun also notices the woman. Though she is shrouded in a black robe, it does not block Ye Liuyun's sight at all.

At first Ye Liuyun thought the woman was a relatively high‑ranking leader of the Dark Night Demon Hall, but when he saw her face, he was greatly astonished.

"Lin Feier? How did she end up here?"

Ye Liuyun did not expect that Lin Feier, who had vanished for a long time, would appear in the Dark Night Demon Hall.

He knows Lin Feier is taking the Demon Cultivator path, but did not expect she would go to the Dark Night Demon Hall and seem to be an important figure there.

When Ye Liuyun sees Lin Feier's lips moving, clearly speaking, he immediately pays close attention.

At the moment the Golden Pupil looks at her, Lin Feier feels completely exposed.

Her face flushes slightly, yet she continues, "Can you see me? I hope you can quickly come to eradicate the Dark Night Demon Hall! Can you hear my voice?"

"Huh? She actually wants me to eradicate the Dark Night Demon Hall?" Ye Liuyun is a bit puzzled. "Since she is an important figure of the Dark Night Demon Hall, why would she ask me to eradicate it? Isn't she a voluntary member?"

Lin Feier can feel Ye Liuyun's gaze, but does not know if he can hear her; she only clings to a sliver of hope.

"The Hall Master of the Dark Night Demon Hall is about to break through the second level of the Yin‑Yang Realm! If you arrive earlier, you can interrupt his breakthrough!" Lin Feier's voice is extremely faint, light enough that only she can hear it.

But Ye Liuyun missed not a single word!

He is now spirit‑wandering Taixu; any slightest movement, if he wishes, he can hear.

"Really, thank you for your trouble! I'll go right away!" Ye Liuyun, far away at the Saint Martial Academy hundreds of thousands of li away, sighs softly.

He sweeps a circle with the Golden Pupil, confirming the Hall Master's location in the Dark Night Demon Hall, then immediately withdraws the Golden Pupil.

He glances at Lin Feier, without drawing anyone else's attention. The Golden Pupil manifested in the sky is so vast that those below cannot discern whose person his gaze is fixed upon.

Ye Liuyun cannot understand how Lin Feier got to the Dark Night Demon Hall. Was she voluntary? Forced? He will have to ask after meeting her.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun notices that Lin Feier does not want others to discover what she says to him. In other words, even if she betrays the Dark Night Demon Hall, it must remain hidden, not spoken openly.

After a moment, Ye Liuyun calls the people beside him, urging them to head together to Lingyun Pavilion.

"Iron Army, gather all Heavenly Gang Realm disciples and some late Yuan Dan Realm disciples within the pavilion; we set out now to eradicate the Dark Night Demon Hall!"

"Alright, we've been ready for a long time, just waiting for your command! I'll also bring the strong Martial Cultivator elites from the outer gate."

Over the years, Iron Army has been developing Lingyun Pavilion outside the academy and has gathered a group of experts.

Moreover, Lingyun Pavilion's strength has been increasing yearly, and now it possesses its own Flying Boat.

Ye Liuyun has nearly a hundred people from Lingyun Pavilion board a single Flying Boat, while he, with his own companions, boards another Flying Boat, slowly following Lingyun Pavilion's vessel toward the northern branch of the Dark Night Demon Hall.

"You all take Lingyun Pavilion's disciples, attack the Dark Night Demon Hall from the outside inward. I will go with the Skeleton Puppet to find their Hall Master."

On the way, Ye Liuyun begins assigning tasks.

"Should Lei Ming go with you?" Wu Qingcheng asks, "In case something unexpected happens, you'll have someone to lend a hand!"

"No, we don't have enough people. Their numbers are huge, gathered there; even if you all go, the pressure remains great! You don't need to worry about me; I know the situation and won't take risks."

In fact, Ye Liuyun knows that this decision is somewhat risky.

Lin Feier is an uncertain factor.

If Lin Feier later becomes his enemy, he will be in danger. If she fights alongside him, he will win very easily.

The last time he saw Lin Feier, her realm was also Yin Yang Yi Chong.

"Could Lin Feier have obtained the Asura Hell inheritance?"

Ye Liuyun has also considered this possibility, since that inheritance was seized by the Dark Night Demon Hall.

Besides that, the Dark Night Demon Hall's numbers are overwhelming, putting considerable pressure on Lei Ming, Wu Qingcheng and others. He can only hope to swiftly eliminate the Hall Master of the Dark Night Demon Hall, then quickly return to aid those at Lingyun Pavilion.

Or, depending on the situation later, have the Skeleton Puppet return to assist.

In short, in this tough battle, their numerical disadvantage remains evident.

Thus he explained the severity of the situation to everyone.

"Then why don't we gather more people and go again? I can return to the Sect and bring more people!" Su Miaoyin asks.

"It's too late! The Hall Master of the Dark Night Demon Hall has fled to the northern region to hide his breakthrough; once he breaks through the second level of the Yin‑Yang Realm, his strength will increase further."

During the Cangyun Martial Competition, Ye Liuyun and his group saw the Hall Master of the Dark Night Demon Hall wrest the Asura Hell inheritance from Yao Xinghai.

With a single palm strike, he repelled Yao Xinghai. His own strength is already somewhat stronger than a typical Yin Yang Yi Chong.

If he breaks through again, he will be even harder to deal with.

Although Ye Liuyun has the Skeleton Puppet and isn't afraid of being outmatched, he worries about the Hall Master escaping.

What he wants is to kill him outright, leaving the Dark Night Demon Hall leaderless.

Given the Dark Night Demon Hall's deep foundation, there should be plenty of divine artifacts and treasures, so Ye Liuyun is uncertain about killing the Hall Master, not knowing what kind of treasure he might produce.

"But this opportunity is indeed rare."

"If he successfully breaks through and retreats to the Dark Night Demon Hall headquarters, it will be even harder to eliminate him later!" Ye Liuyun explains to the crowd.

That is also why he decided to disregard everything and give it a try.

As they were nervously arranging the attack, their Flying Boat was suddenly blocked by another Flying Boat.

【55】 Ye Liuyun and the others thought it was an interception sent by the Dark Night Demon Hall, and immediately rushed out of the Flying Boat.

【56】 Unexpectedly, they saw Cheng Yi, the Alliance Leader of the Northern Region, who was also their former dean.
