Chapter 632: Return to the Azure Fire

Facing Lei Ming's joke, Ye Liuyun also laughed, "Can't help it, they're just too enthusiastic! I'm afraid they'll come up with some weird request, so it's best to run away quickly!"

"You're afraid those senior sisters and junior sisters will entangle you and pose another problem, aren't you?" Wu Qingcheng said with a smile, seeing through Ye Liuyun's thoughts, causing the other women to cover their mouths and laugh.

Ye Liuyun knew the women were about to tease him again, so he simply closed his eyes, pretended to cultivate, and fell silent.

Ye Liuyun led Wu Qingcheng and the others, chatting and laughing all the way back to the Iron Eagle Sect.

After returning, Ye Liuyun first briefed Sect Leader Ma, Jing Wudi and others about the battle with the Dark Night Demon Hall.

However, he didn't mention Lin Feier. He only said that he and Cheng Yi joined forces to eliminate Lu Jinzhou, to prevent future disaster for Lin Feier.

"You even killed Lu Jinzhou?" Jing Wudi said, his mouth agape in shock.

Sect Leader Ma was also very surprised, but considering Ye Liuyun's realm and strength, he thought it was quite normal.

He was merely astonished that the Hall Master of the Dark Night Demon Hall had actually gone to the Northern Region to cultivate.

"That's because they placed the stolen Asura Hell inheritance in the Northern Region for their own people to cultivate. It's more covert, so the Cangyun Alliance won't discover it."

"And that Hall Master Lu Jinzhou, after entering the inheritance Secret Realm, immediately began preparing a breakthrough in the Northern Region. He probably didn't expect a strong opponent to come to the Northern Region to kill him, since there are few masters there!"

Sect Leader Ma nodded, also thinking Ye Liuyun's analysis was solid. "Our Iron Eagle Sect has been dormant long enough; it's time we take action!"

Sect Leader Ma's meaning was clear: the Iron Eagle Sect would strike against the Dark Night Demon Sect.

"Liuyun, both you and your companions possess top-tier strength on the Cangyun Continent. We should seize this chance to drive the Dark Night Demon Hall out of the Central Region, compressing their living space and making their future schemes much harder!"

Ye Liuyun thought this was fine. The more sects of the Dark Night Demon Hall they have to deal with, the less energy they have to spare for the Northern Region.

"Alright. Leader, give the orders!"

Ye Liuyun immediately agreed enthusiastically; he also wanted to do something for the Northern Region before leaving.

Sect Leader Ma nodded, then began assigning tasks: "Alright, your companions are all strong; have them sweep the elite in the Dark Night Demon Hall's branch temples in the Central Region. I'll send people to intercept their reinforcements. The rest, leave to Wudi to clean up the aftermath. I'll also contact the Cangyun Alliance to pressure the Dark Night Demon Hall simultaneously across the lands…"

After their discussion, Ye Liuyun wasted no time and set out with his men at once.

"Piao Yun, lead the way; we'll sweep the Dark Night Demon Hall's branch temples one by one!"

"Yes, master!"

Piao Yun, familiar with every detail of the Central Region, guided Ye Liuyun from east to west, beginning to sweep the Dark Night Demon Hall's branch temples.

In just about three months, Ye Liuyun had already driven the Dark Night Demon Hall's branch temples out of the Central Region.

At the same time, the Dark Night Demon Hall in the Eastern and Southern Regions suffered heavy blows from the Cangyun Alliance, all retreating to their old lair in the Western Region.

The remaining task of taking over territories was handled by Jing Wudi, while Ye Liuyun happily enjoyed leisure, staying at the Iron Eagle Sect to cultivate.

Piao Yun helped Ye Liuyun and the others prepare supplies.

Originally, Piao Yun also wanted to follow Ye Liuyun beyond the region.

But Ye Liuyun feared danger. Moreover, leaving Piao Yun behind meant she could keep an eye on the Holy Martial Academy's movements and help take care of more things.

He also left Piao Yun plenty of resources so she could cultivate peacefully, promising that when he returns next, he'll take Piao Yun out with him.

Ru Yue firmly demanded to stay by Ye Liuyun's side. Even if she considered her realm low, she could remain in the Dragon Palace to tend to various herbs.

As for the lower-ranked Su Miaoyin and Shi Yuan, Ye Liuyun could only keep them close. For now, he tries to provide them resources so they can quickly advance their realms within the Xuan Kong Shi.

The others, of course, also followed Ye Liuyun. Their realms are high, so they aren't afraid of becoming a burden to him; on the contrary, they can be of great help.

In these final moments, everyone rushed to cultivate, hoping to boost their strength a bit more before departing.

During this period, Ye Liuyun focused his cultivation on Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power.

That day, Ye Liuyun was cultivating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he felt a strange fluctuation emanating from the Storage Ring.

He hurriedly used his Divine Sense to inspect and discovered it was the Teleportation Token that Qing Lin had given him, with a message inside.

He took out the Token, and Liang Xue's voice came through.

"Liuyun, if you can free yourself, it would be best to come to the Qing Huo Mi Jing. The Qing Huo Mi Jing is under great pressure now and may not hold out much longer!"

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun realized the Qing Huo Mi Jing was indeed in a perilous state; otherwise Liang Xue wouldn't have sought him.

So he replied without hesitation, "Alright, I'll get ready and head over immediately; have Qing Lin prepare the teleportation, and wait for my signal."

Saying that, Ye Liuyun promptly informed everyone, pulling them all into the Storage Ring.

He also gave Piao Yun a heads‑up. He had already spoken with Sect Leader Ma and Jing Wudi; they were busy expanding their territories, so Ye Liuyun didn't disturb them.

Afterwards, he arrived near the Demon Race garrison. The area is usually sparsely populated, making it suitable for teleportation.

"I'm ready; let Qing Lin bring me back!"

Ye Liuyun spoke to the Token, transmitting his voice.

This time, he received no reply; instead, shortly after, the space he occupied suddenly trembled violently.

In the void, a vortex of azure fire formed. Within the vortex, a massive suction pulled Ye Liuyun straight in.

Then the azure‑fire vortex gradually vanished, as if it had never appeared.

Ye Liuyun felt the dizzy, vertiginous sensation return, and this time it seemed far worse than when he previously entered the Qing Huo Mi Jing.

"It seems the severity of this dizziness is linked to the Qing Huo Mi Jing's energy. The realm's energy is truly becoming increasingly insufficient!"

He didn't know how long he was dazed, but when Ye Liuyun sensed the surrounding aura, still not fully conscious, he fell straight from the sky.

With a "Boom!" sound, Ye Liuyun was flung, his mouth hanging open.

Ye Liuyun sensed the aura here. "That's right, I've arrived inside the Qing Huo Mi Jing!"

He had spent some time here before and held a deep memory of its aura.

Ye Liuyun exhaled, and before he could release the others from the Storage Ring, he saw Qing Lin appear before him, grinning mischievously.

"You little rascal, you didn't drop me on purpose, did you?"

Seeing its mischievous grin, Ye Liuyun realized the creature was joking with him.
