Chapter 842: with translation of chapter title

On the road, they indeed saw disciples of other sects twice.

"These sect disciples have higher realms than us, and there are more of them. It seems we are at a disadvantage compared to their formation!" After observing, Wei Pangzi found that their side's strength, when compared person by person, fell far short.

"What are you afraid of? He alone can fight their whole group!" Yuan Datou said irritably, pointing at Ye Liuyun.

Yuan Datou's voice was so loud that a nearby group of sect disciples heard it and immediately surrounded them.

The other few people all wore black expressions, internally resenting Yuan Datou for causing trouble.

But Yuan Datou himself was oblivious, still watching the crowd indifferently.

"A few Yin‑Yang Realm trash dare to say one can fight our whole group?" One leader who seemed to be the captain walked over, looked at them disdainfully, and said scornfully.

Another sect disciple laughed, "Who can fight our whole group alone? Come out and let us see!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, "We were just joking; you needn't take it seriously. Our common goal now is the Lie Mo Sect; it's not worth fighting over a word, let's not start a fight ourselves!"

"Fight? Ha ha! You really think of yourself as a dish? If we clash, it'll only be us teaching you a lesson!" the sect disciple laughed.

"Let's quickly teach them a lesson and leave; it's not worth wasting time on them!" After saying that, the captain turned and left, completely disregarding them.

"Fine then, I'll be the bad guy!" the sect disciple also walked toward Ye Liuyun.

He is Zao Hua Realm First Rank. Even if Ye Liuyun were to spar with him, he wouldn't be afraid.

But their party of over ten are all Martial Cultivators of Zao Hua Realm. Even if a real fight occurred, Ye Liuyun couldn't handle that many.

Moreover, once a fight starts, others are bound to get injured.

So Ye Liuyun directly released the Ghost Butterfly. When the Ghost Butterfly's noble aura emanated, the sect disciple shivered all over.

At that moment, the captain also sensed the noble aura and turned back, halting his steps.

Ye Liuyun looked at the sect disciple and asked lightly, "I think our common enemy is still the Lie Mo Sect. What do you think?"

The sect disciple swallowed saliva and nodded with difficulty. Under the Ghost Butterfly's pressure, even speaking was a struggle.

"Let's go!" Seeing this, the captain also said lightly, calling for their own people to withdraw.

They all knew they couldn't do anything to Ye Liuyun. But they also thought that Ye Liuyun wouldn't dare do anything to them either.

After all, they are senior sect disciples. If something went wrong, the sect would hold Ye Liuyun accountable.

After they had gone far, Wei Pangzi whispered, "These people are too arrogant! They clearly can't win, yet they act so cocky!"

"They belong to the Zhan Long Sect. It's also a super senior sect. They probably think we wouldn't dare do anything to them!" Liang Xinyu explained.

He could discern their sect just from the disciples' clothing.

Ye Liuyun dismissed the Ghost Butterfly, said nothing, only instructed everyone not to cause more trouble, and then led the group onward.

If he weren't leading these people, perhaps he would indeed dare to wipe out all those Zhan Long Sect members.

But now, with many people and eyes everywhere, he still needs to restrain himself as much as possible, lest he be seen.

Ye Liuyun activated the Golden Pupil's space‑crossing power, observing the Lie Mo Sect's movements from afar.

Around the Lie Mo Sect, the outskirts were now filled with Corpse Demons. It seems the Lie Mo Sect has realized they were exposed these days and has begun a frenzy of slaughter.

"Follow me!" Ye Liuyun led the few of them into a Mi Lin.

His space‑crossing Golden Pupil discovered that the Mi Lin contained many ferocious beasts, so Corpse Demons were fewer there. By passing through the Mi Lin, they could more easily traverse that Corpse Demon zone and arrive at the Lie Mo Sect sooner.

However, most people felt the Mi Lin was more dangerous, so they were unwilling to enter.

After entering the Mi Lin, Ye Liuyun stopped, had them put on armor. He also took out the dynasty reward armor given to him and put it on.

Qiong Qi's armor made from Exotic Scale Armor, he also dared not wear, fearing people would mistake him for an accomplice of the Foreign Tribe.

"Miss Liang, Miss Su, especially you two, the Corpse Demons' physical body advantage is unfavorable to you; you should prepare defenses."

Ye Liuyun has dealt with Corpse Demons before and told them many of their traits.

"So I'm useless then?" Su Manning said after hearing, feeling that if she faced a Corpse Demon, she would instantly become a waste, because her charm techniques have no effect on Corpse Demons.

"No problem, just take a good weapon; to deal with Corpse Demons, you don't really need any cultivation technique, just hack them down!"

Ye Liuyun placed Su Manning and Liang Xinyu on his sides, after Wei Pangzi and Yuan Datou fell behind. Then he had everyone keep formation and sprint forward.

He held the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand and the dynasty‑rewarded divine artifact Waist Knife in the other.

That knife also has a name, called Blaze, which suits Ye Liuyun's fire attribute; in his hand it can unleash flame power.

It's unclear whether the Prince of the Commandery specifically suggested it, or it was just a coincidence.

Although this Blaze is a foot shorter than the Demon Slaying Sword, it fits perfectly in hand, suitable as a warrior's Waist Knife.

Ye Liuyun led the way; when encountering ferocious beasts or Corpse Demons below Zao Hua First Rank, he used the Demon Slaying Sword. Against stronger opponents, he used the Blaze Knife, cutting and burning, and didn't miss a single one for those behind.

After running for a while, Yuan Datou gave up.

"I need to go to the front; otherwise I won't be able to hit anyone!"

"What's the hurry? We'll have you fight later; we haven't even reached the Lie Mo Sect yet!" Ye Liuyun, worried about his slow speed delaying progress.

"No, I'm impatient. Let me lead!" he said, disregarding whether others agreed, and rushed straight to the front.

The iron staff Yuan Datou wielded, Ye Liuyun thought, was also an unusual weapon; if speed wasn't contested, letting him lead the way would be fine.

However, Yuan Datou's leading speed was noticeably slower. Each time he fought, they had to stop and wait, often for a long time.

The few of them exchanged glances, feeling helpless, yet they couldn't do anything about him.

While threading through the Mi Lin, if their breakthrough speed wasn't fast enough, more ferocious beasts or Corpse Demons would be drawn in and surround them.

Just as Yuan Datou was locked in a hard fight with a ferocious beast, they finally became surrounded by even more beasts.

"What do we do now?" Liang Xinyu asked anxiously.

The surrounding beasts, though of low realms, were numerous; they feared they couldn't finish them in a short time.

If they delayed further, they might attract something else.
