Chapter 699: with translation of chapter title

Tuoba Qi also laughed out loud, nodding his head in satisfaction.

Although Ye Liuyun finally used the Mourning Bell, he could see that Ye Liuyun merely wanted to save a bit of time.

If they continued fighting, Yan Yong would also end up with the same result of failure.

From the moment Ye Liuyun could control that bead, this battle was already destined for him to achieve fifty consecutive wins.

Tuoba Qi slowly stood up and walked outward, also telling the maid beside him: "Invite Ye Liuyun to my Chengzhu Fu!"

"Yes!"

The maid answered, respectfully saw Tuoba Qi off, then went to find the steward to convey Tuoba Qi's invitation.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had not forgotten to ask the steward for his reward.

"Little brother, you're too greedy for money! At this moment, you should be celebrating!" Lei Ming teased him.

"Haha, celebrating is certainly appropriate, but spirit stones are also indispensable!"

Immediately, Ye Liuyun asked the steward again: "I don't know when I'll be able to see the City Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, another steward rushed over and delivered Tuoba Qi's invitation.

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect that the City Lord would fulfill the reward so quickly; he immediately led the crowd, left the martial arena with that steward, and rushed to the Chengzhu Fu.

Along the way, Ye Liuyun asked Du Yan: "Can the deadline for handing over the ship be moved up?"

Since he encountered that ghost cultivator, Ye Liuyun felt that the death aura emanating from the Nether Curse made him increasingly uneasy.

"It's very likely that the ghost cultivator triggered the Nether Curse, which allowed those hunting me to find me."

Ye Liuyun secretly thought to himself. Moreover, he continually used Buddha Light Power to wear away the Nether Curse. Although it had little effect, this at least could somewhat block the influence of that death aura on him.

Du Yan thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll go urge them now. But even if I hurry, at most I can speed it up by a couple of days."

Ye Liuyun nodded and said: "Alright, thank you for the trouble! The sooner the better! Even if we first outfit one ship, we can slowly assemble the rest ourselves."

"What's so urgent?" Du Yan asked, puzzled.

"I have a very bad premonition, and this premonition is getting closer."

Ye Liuyun did not directly tell him about the Nether Curse, fearing he would be frightened.

Martial cultivators of the Yin-Yang Realm can communicate with Heaven and Earth; many martial cultivators will have some advance sense regarding matters that concern their life and death.

So Du Yan didn't ask further, and immediately went straight to find Old Master Wu to urge the ship, letting Ye Liuyun and the others go see the City Lord themselves.

"Liuyun, what's wrong?"

Wu Qingcheng asked with concern.

"The Nether Curse can emit a sense; those hunting me are getting closer."

Ye Liuyun hid nothing from Wu Qingcheng.

He also instructed Wu Qingcheng and the others: "If a true expert comes to kill us, follow Du Yan to Zhongyang Dalu; don't wait for me. I will later find a way to find you."

Ye Liuyun sensed that this crisis was extremely intense; Nether Hell would at least send a venerable one to kill him. Therefore, he did not plan to put them all into his Storage Ring, lest they be implicated as well.

Wu Qingcheng naturally also wanted to accompany him, but she also knew that in a crisis, Ye Liuyun fleeing alone would actually be less of a burden.

"Alright. But you must be extremely careful. We'll always be waiting for you!"

Ye Liuyun felt Wu Qingcheng's worry, pulled her hand over and held it in his.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If on the road those few monster beasts encounter their own opportunity, just let them leave directly; don't force them."

"Mm." Wu Qingcheng replied, feeling the happiness of being led by Ye Liuyun's hand.

Although they often stay together, they constantly have to fight and deal with various situations. Whenever they have time, they must seize it to cultivate.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun has many people around him and many affairs. When the two are together, their intimate time is not much.

The stretch from the martial arena to the Chengzhu Fu is very safe. They are also rare moments of relaxation and peace.

Even this brief tranquility, Wu Qingcheng feels extraordinarily precious.

She even feels that if they could just stay put and keep walking like this, it would be wonderful!

Before the Fog Sea of the Qingxiao Domain, a Nether Ghost Ship suddenly appeared.

A chilling death aura instantly enveloped this space.

"Is the Fog Sea ahead?" Xue Ya, inside the control room, opened his eyes and, with a childish tone, asked the Black Shadow beside him.

"Yes, sir!" the mist shadow replied in a hoarse voice.

"I feel that the Nether Curse has suddenly become stronger. I don't know what that brat Ye Liuyun has done again!"

Xue Ya poured True Essence into the Black Crystal Ball again to check Ye Liuyun's whereabouts.

This time, he saw the scene of that ghost cultivator's final moments.

"That Golden Pupil youth is our target!"

Xue Ya discovered Ye Liuyun and said to the Witch and Bone Beast beside him.

The Witch glanced at Ye Liuyun, then her gaze fell onto the Nether Ghost Fire that had burned that ghost cultivator to death.

The Bone Beast let out a low growl in response.

"Nether Ghost Fire? This kid really has a fate with our Nether Hell. This trip wasn't in vain for me either!"

On Xue Ya's eight- or nine-year-old face, originally icy and pale with no expression, upon seeing the Nether Ghost Fire he suddenly bared his teeth and laughed, appearing extraordinarily strange.

"Not bad!" the Witch finally spoke.

"You can't compete with me for it; this Nether Ghost Fire is of great use to me!" Xue Ya told the Witch.

The Witch expressionlessly withdrew her gaze, as if she hadn't heard, closed her eyes and continued cultivating.

"First go find that dead Food Star Beast to see what this kid has done! I feel he's not far from us; he can't escape!"

Xue Ya was obviously in a good mood, saying a few more words.

"Yes!" several Nether Ghost Shadows answered, piloting the Nether Ghost Ship into the Fog Sea.

And just as Xue Ya activated the Black Crystal Ball, the Nether Curse on Ye Liuyun's soul flickered again.

"I'm afraid we don't have much time!"

Ye Liuyun also realized at this point just how hateful this Nether Curse is.

This feeling of deathly pressure and imminent danger it gives people can make them panic and fear.

This is still with the opponent relatively far away. If they were closer, those with unsteady minds would themselves first suffer a mental breakdown.

Ye Liuyun could only keep his mind at ease by wrapping it in Buddha Light Power.

"Come in, all of you!"

Tuoba Qi called out, and only then did Ye Liuyun realize they had arrived. They had been walking for almost half an hour.

The Steward directly led Ye Liuyun and the others into a Grand Hall, greeted Tuoba Qi, and then withdrew.

Ye Liuyun was also sizing up City Lord Tuoba Qi.
