Chapter 828: The Chang Family's Calamity

Ye Liuyun immediately took out the Mourning Bell, aimed at a long sword held by an Elder, and hurled it outward.

Boom!

The Mourning Bell collided with a Divine Artifact, and its sound rang for hundreds of li. The Chang Family members around the Formation all felt a brief mental daze.

Ye Liuyun seized the opportunity to pull the opposing Elder's Soul into his own Yin Yang Realm.

At the same time, while those Elders were dazed, he transferred the Divine Artifacts in their hands to his own.

However, the time was brief; Ye Liuyun only managed to seize two Divine Artifacts. When he tried to take a third Divine Artifact, the Elder regained consciousness, clutched the artifact tightly, and Ye Liuyun could not move it.

The two Divine Artifacts were a long knife and a sword. Ye Liuyun gave the sword to the Skeleton Puppet and kept the long knife for later use.

The Chang Family suddenly lost an Elder and two Divine Artifacts, and for the time being dared not attack the Formation again.

Ye Liuyun now also does not dare to casually release the Foreign Tribe Soul to attack the Chang Family.

After such a long time, the Chang Family should be able to find a treasure to counter the Foreign Tribe Soul.

He let the Skeleton Puppet guard outside, while he returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.

He returned to the Xuan Kong Shi mainly to accelerate the restoration of the high‑ranking Foreign Tribe Souls within the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner, so they could join the battle quickly.

Before long, Ye Liuyun received a message from Qiong Qi.

"Got it! I've taken the Chang Family's Treasure Vault. I did it so smoothly that the Chang Family didn't notice, so I plan to set a few fires for them, hehe!"

Hearing that, Ye Liuyun immediately emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi and even released Lei Ming and the others.

"Prepare for battle! If strong members of the Chang Family return to reinforce the clan, we will rush out to kill their disciples! But remember, don't stray too far from the Formation; if a strong one approaches, return to the Formation immediately."

Ye Liuyun gave them a brief instruction, also took out the Mourning Bell, and surveyed the surroundings.

Even if the outsiders withdraw, there will certainly be Zao Hua Realm strongmen left to hold the ground. So Ye Liuyun still has to face the Zao Hua Realm strongmen!

Before long, a change indeed appeared in the Chang Family's outside forces.

A large number of Martial Cultivators rushed back to the Chang Family. Especially several high‑level Zao Hua Realm strongmen hurried back.

Ye Liuyun waited until they were far away, then immediately led the Monster Beasts and the Skeleton Puppet to charge out. At the same time, he released the high‑ranking Foreign Tribe Soul, focusing on dealing with the remaining Zao Hua Realm strongmen.

The Chang Family Grand Elder, who had just rushed back to the clan, hadn't even had time to assess the situation when he received a plea for help from the Chang Family disciples.

"Grand Elder, that Ye Liuyun has broken out with several Monster Beasts and puppets. Our people can't stop them!"

"Damn. We've been tricked! Return with me immediately."

At the Grand Elder's command, these people rushed back to Ye Liuyun's residence.

Qiong Qi, hidden in the shadows, immediately informed Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liyun and his group are currently slaughtering everything around.

"Retreat!" Ye Liuyun, via the Divine Soul Contract, notified the Monster Beasts and the Skeleton Puppet to pull back into the Formation before the Grand Elder returned.

These people each hold a Divine Artifact, so even when confronting Zao Hua Realm strongmen, they can withdraw unscathed.

When the Grand Elder and his men arrived, dozens more Chang Family disciple corpses littered the ground.

"Ye Liuyun!"

The Chang Family Elder, furious, shouted, "Our Chang Family will never coexist with you!"

Ye Liuyun calmly retorted, "I already knew; no need for you to keep babbling!"

"Grand Elder! The fire within the clan is growing fiercer, already spreading in patches, beyond control!"

After the Grand Elder returned, before he could say a few words, he immediately received another plea for aid from the clan.

"Damn!"

The Grand Elder looked at Ye Liuyun, his eyes about to spew fire.

"Grand Elder, how about I take people back, and you stay here to guard!" an Elder volunteered.

"Fine, you take people back to reinforce. I'll stay here with this kid. Give me the Divine Artifact; I'll personally assault the Formation. I don't believe this kid can stay hidden inside forever."

The Grand Elder took a hammer! This is the Chang Family's last Divine Artifact.

During the handover of the hammer, the Grand Elder gripped it tightly, fearing Ye Liuyun might steal it.

The Grand Elder likewise held it firmly, daring not a moment of carelessness.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil noticed that the Grand Elder possessed a treasure that defends against Spiritual Soul Attacks, and thus did not dare to rashly unleash the Foreign Tribe Soul to attack him.

He could only use the Mourning Bell to fend off the Grand Elder's attacks on the Formation. Yet occasionally the Grand Elder still struck the Formation, which quickly became precarious.

Ye Liuyun called Qiong Qi back to repair the Formation.

"Hold on a bit longer; I'll soon wipe out the Chang Family!"

Qiong Qi did not return; instead, he was busy trying to eliminate those Martial Cultivators who went back to extinguish the fire.

Those Martial Cultivators lacked Divine Artifacts, so Qiong Qi used his own furnace, repeatedly smashing and burning, wiping out many of the Chang Family's strongmen.

Ye Liuyun was straining to hold the line with the Grand Elder, when someone came to report to the Grand Elder.

"Grand Elder, the household can no longer hold! A red‑haired old man, using a Divine Artifact, has wiped out many of our Elders and is now slaughtering within the clan. If you don't return, the Chang Family will be eradicated!"

"Alas!" the Grand Elder sighed, then turned and rushed back.

He lamented in his heart. It was clear that Ye Liuyun's side could no longer hold for long!

"Everyone, retreat with me!"

Just before his figure vanished, he gave the Chang Family disciples another order.

He also knew that the Chang Family's great momentum was gone. Now not only property and bases were damaged, but even personnel had lost more than half.

They would soon fall from being a top local clan to a second‑ or third‑rate family!

He had never imagined that the entire Chang Family would be reduced to this by a kid and a few Monster Beasts.

Yet they never even brushed Ye Liuyun's cloak.

Although the Grand Elder was frustrated, he was helpless against Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun had allies, could fight on two fronts, and everyone possessed Divine Artifacts, making him indefensible.

When they finally returned, Qiong Qi had already withdrawn to his base, arrived here via the Teleportation Array, and helped Ye Liuyun repair the Formation. Most of the Chang Family's resources, Qiong Qi also left for Ye Liuyun.

"Looking at this, it will be difficult for us to go out in the future!"

Qiong Qi reminded Ye Liuyun.

With the formation present, although outsiders cannot kill their way in, they also dare not leave casually. Without the formation's protection, once they go out they will find every step difficult.

The Grand Elder also knew that Qiong Qi wouldn't wait there for him to catch, so even if he came up empty-handed, he wasn't surprised.

At least as long as he returns, the Chang Family will no longer suffer attacks.

He immediately had people tally the losses. When the news came back, he was also shocked.
