Chapter 638: Stepping onto the Stage

"Tang Yao, isn't this improper? Our allocation ratio was settled long ago. This kid also belongs to this Secret Realm, so his treasures must be divided according to the previously agreed ratio."

The Night Demon Sect Elder directly exposed his scheming.

"The Formation was set by me, so I naturally have the right to enter the Secret Realm. Our previous agreement does not include Ye Liuyun."

Tang Yao, for the sake of the treasures, could no longer care about reputation.

He has always been a person who acts on sight of wealth; now that he sees the treasures, how could he give them up? The two artifacts are far more tempting than the unknown resources inside the Secret Realm.

So these people began arguing again over how to divide the treasures on Ye Liuyun and the others.

Inside the Secret Realm, when a black‑hole Formation was broken, Ye Liuyun felt the sightlines inside and outside were blocked again.

"Great! We can move freely again."

Immediately delighted, he summoned Qing Lin.

"Qing Lin, take Lei Ming, Long Nv and other Monster Beasts into the Secret Realm and subdue as many Beast Kings as possible, letting the Beast Kings lead their herds to attack the San Yuan Sect members."

Qing Lin now holds Ye Liuyun in great admiration. Ye Liuyun not only eliminated many invaders, but also repaired a black hole.

The other two black holes are expected to be repaired soon as well.

Hearing Ye Liuyun assign the task, they immediately nodded, took Lei Ming and other Monster Beasts, and went out to capture Beast Kings.

The Stone Giant arrived at this moment, helping Ye Liuyun attack the black‑hole Formation.

Ye Liuyun used the Cross‑Space Golden Pupil to monitor the San Yuan Sect members while continuing to capture Beast Kings, then sending them to attack the San Yuan Sect members.

Elder Qing Lian of the San Yuan Sect, leading a group of disciples, could not rest for a moment and kept fighting.

"Mingyue, why are there so many ferocious beasts in this Secret Realm? When you came last time, did they attack you the same way?"

Qing Lian found it odd and asked Xiao Mingyue, who had come here before.

"The ferocious beasts in this Secret Realm are indeed many! The last time I came, I constantly avoided them and was not attacked by any beast herd," Xiao Mingyue answered honestly.

"Then it seems these ferocious beasts were likely the work of that kid!" Qing Lian now roughly concluded that Ye Liuyun was behind them.

Yet even though she guessed, she was helpless.

Since entering the Secret Realm, they have been constantly fleeing and fighting, depleting True Essence severely and becoming extremely exhausted.

Qing Lian herself also kept draining herself to replenish others' True Essence and bloodlines; otherwise their losses would be greater.

"First find a safe place and hold out for two days; when the next batch arrives by teleport, we'll be safe."

Speaking thus, she led the group to look for a defensible spot. They finally found a valley and set up camp there.

Ye Liuyun was unhurried, continuously sending the newly captured ferocious beasts to attack them, giving them no rest and wearing Qing Lian and the others down physically and mentally.

Meanwhile, the remaining two black holes were eliminated one after another.

Ye Liuyun could finally devote his full effort to dealing with the San Yuan Sect members.

All the ferocious beast groups, under Ye Liuyun's command, surged toward the San Yuan Sect disciples.

Ye Liuyun's Cross‑Space Golden Pupil coordinated with the beast groups, continuously ambushing them.

The San Yuan Sect members finally suffered significant casualties.

After the great battle, despite Qing Lian's all‑out effort to rescue the other disciples, only three remained: Qing Lian, Xiao Mingyue, and another injured male disciple.

And it wasn't over yet; the remaining ferocious beasts kept chasing them. They changed hideouts several times, yet could not escape Ye Liuyun's Cross‑Space Golden Pupil surveillance.

Even if they fled into a Cave, Ye Liuyun would command the ferocious beasts to kill through.

Qing Lin, with Lei Ming and others, also gathered several beast herds and surrounded the Cave where Qing Lian and the others last hid.

Qing Lian guarded the entrance; each ferocious beast that entered was slain, leaving the others with no foothold.

Ye Liuyun finally stepped from behind the scenes to the forefront, leading everyone forward.

He first placed the Formation Flag around the Cave to prevent escape. Then, using the Golden Pupil, he located the Cave's weak point and ordered all ferocious beasts to bombard it, collapsing the Cave and forcing them to emerge.

When the beasts began the joint bombardment, Qing Lian and the others realized the Cave could not withstand so many attacks and would collapse soon, so they rushed to the entrance. As the Cave collapsed, they surged out.

Qing Lian, holding one person in one hand, tried to rely on her high realm and speed to fling them away from the beasts' assault.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun had pre‑set a Formation; a wall of fire stopped her outright.

Seeing the surrounding Formations and the encircling ferocious beasts, Qing Lian furrowed her brows.

She had constantly helped many disciples recover, draining herself greatly and never having time to rest.

If she forces her way through the Formation now, she can sustain some injuries and still break out, but she definitely cannot get the two disciples beside her out.

Ye Liuyun also guessed that if this female Elder fought desperately, she might carve a bloody path, so he had already prepared the Mourning Bell and had Lei Ming on Qing Lin's side ready the Demon Tower.

The Martial Cultivator of the Sixth Layer of the Yin‑Yang Realm is still beyond what they can currently endure. Even at the end of a powerful crossbow, that strike…

Xiao Mingyue and the male disciple, facing the Formation and the surrounding ferocious beasts, were now utterly desperate.

"You are Ye Liuyun?" Qing Lian wanted to test whether negotiation was possible.

"Are you an Elder of the San Yuan Sect?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Correct, I am Elder Qing Lian of the San Yuan Sect. As long as you spare us, you may state any condition you wish."

Qing Lian set down Xiao Mingyue and the male disciple and took several steps toward Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? Are you preparing to go all‑out?" Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil discerned the flow of Qing Lian's bloodlines and True Essence.

He saw Qing Lian gathering momentum, apparently ready to make a strike and ambush him.

"We can't get them out anyway, so let's just gamble. If I can successfully ambush Ye Liuyun, all the problems will be solved."

Qing Lian thought to herself, edging her foot closer to Ye Liuyun, appearing as if to negotiate.

Ye Liuyun remained calm, wanting to learn from her how to break through the fire wall of the Formation.

He casually replied, "A regular Elder and two disciples—what resources can you trade for? Tell me."
