Chapter 843: Stirring the Grass to Startle the Snake

Ye Liuyun immediately tossed a Magic Vine seed and told Yuan Datou, "Ignore it, charge forward faster!"

However, Yuan Datou was in the heat of battle and couldn't heed anyone's advice.

The Magic Vine seed hit the ground and instantly sprouted jet‑black vines that began attacking the surrounding ferocious beasts.

It can also extend countless vines at once, making its efficiency far higher than anyone else's.

Soon, the surrounding ferocious beasts were completely cleared.

Ye Liuyun retracted the Magic Vine seed, rushed into Yuan Datou's battle circle, and slashed that beast with a single strike, cutting it to pieces.

Then he gestured, "Move out," and led a few people to keep charging forward.

This time, he again led the way ahead of the group, moving even faster.

Yuan Datou also knew he had caused trouble, so he fell silent while trailing behind, and after his recent battle he needed time to recover his True Essence.

After sprinting for a while, Ye Liuyun finally stopped.

"We've finally broken out of the Corpse Demon encirclement!" Su Manning let out a sigh.

Her Soul also sensed that if they slowed any further, a wave of Corpse Demons would surround them.

Although Ye Liuyun has the Magic Vine and isn't afraid of those Corpse Demons, the time would certainly be wasted there.

There are so many Sect disciples heading to the Lie Mo Sect that they must hurry over and get there before anyone else.

Those who fall behind will surely earn no credit.

A few people stopped to rest for a while, and Su Manning and Liang Xinyu were both lecturing Yuan Datou.

Yuan Datou, however, looked as unflinching as a dead pig in boiling water, indifferent to whatever they said.

"If you cause trouble again, we'll just toss you aside!" Su Manning threatened Yuan Datou, even using her charms.

Yuan Datou immediately raised a Soul shield, frowned at her, and seemed irritated.

"Save some energy. Yuan Datou, there will be plenty of opponents later; recover your True Essence first!"

Ye Liuyun halted them and led them onward.

"Alright!" Yuan Datou actually replied.

In his heart, he only respects Ye Liuyun. So he should only obey Ye Liuyun.

The others just shook their heads; there was nothing they could do with him.

Ye Liuyun and his group moved swiftly through the Mi Lin, arriving at its far end before any Sect disciple.

However, they didn't exit; they concealed themselves within the forest.

Ye Liuyun projected his Divine Sense to probe the Lie Mo Sect and found that they had already activated a Mountain‑Guarding Array, blocking his sense.

His Soul had reached the Respectful Rank in strength; if he couldn't detect it, others would be the same.

"It seems the Lie Mo Sect intends to hold the Sect at all costs! At this hour, they probably wouldn't dare come out to fight!"

Ye Liuyun reported the situation to everyone.

"What do we do then? Isn't this a wasted trip?" Liang Xinyu said, a bit disappointed.

Ye Liuyun disagreed: "How could it be wasted? Let's stir the grass to startle the snake and see if we can lure people from the Lie Mo Sect out. Even if they stay, we can kill more Corpse Demons and claim credit on the way back!"

Ye Liuyun immediately told Yuan Datou, "Your chance has come. Go find Corpse Demons or ferocious beasts to fight. The louder the commotion, the better; the more demons and beasts you attract, the more you'll enjoy it!"

"Haha, good, I like this mission!"

Yuan Datou answered, grabbed his iron staff, and lunged toward a nearby Corpse Demon.

He let out a loud shout that echoed across the area; that noise was certainly big enough!

Then he swung his iron staff at the Corpse Demon, pounding with a thunderous clang. The surrounding ferocious beasts and Corpse Demons were instantly drawn to the racket.

Ye Liuyun tossed a Magic Vine seed to aid Yuan Datou in battle.

He and the others kept their distance, observing the Lie Mo Sect's movements.

The Magic Vine seed was very clever; Ye Liuyun instructed it not to eradicate the beasts and Corpse Demons, so that more would be drawn in.

It obeyed well, always leaving some of comparable level for Yuan Datou to practice on.

Thus the two coordinated seamlessly; Yuan Datou fought with flair while it quietly profited.

However, the Corpse Demons absorbed by the Magic Vine had their Primordial Cores taken, so Ye Liuyun's group could only gather the bodies for credit.

After observing for a while, they found the Lie Mo Sect remained silent.

But a large batch of Corpse Demons had been drawn into the Mi Lin, surging toward them.

"Since the Lie Mo Sect members aren't planning to come out for now, let's kill some Corpse Demons and claim credit on the way back. Miss Su, stay behind to keep watching the Lie Mo Sect and inform us immediately if anything happens."

Su Manning's charms have little effect on Corpse Demons, and she needs protection in battle, so she was left behind.

"Everyone else, when you're tired, return to Miss Su here to rest and recover True Essence. Remember, don't wait until it's fully depleted; keep at least half."

Ye Liuyun, experienced in fighting Corpse Demons, finished his briefing and led the group forward.

After slaying the Corpse Demons, they waited for the Magic Vine to finish absorbing, then collected the bodies for credit.

The louder the commotion they made, the more Corpse Demons they attracted.

Even Corpse Demons of the third or fourth Fate tier rushed over, but the Magic Vine dealt with them, so Ye Liuyun's group didn't need to risk it.

The more energy the Magic Vine absorbed, the stronger its combat power. Ye Liuyun's group only slayed some Yin Yang Jiu Zhong or Fate‑Tier‑One Corpse Demons.

The Magic Vine always left Corpse Demons of that level for them, with clear division of labor.

They took turns fighting; after a bout they'd return to Su Manning to recover True Essence, then go back into battle.

Only Ye Liuyun kept continuously eliminating Corpse Demons.

He already possesses Dual Primordial Pills, so his True Essence is abundant. Moreover, using Blade Intent consumes little.

His expenditures are almost entirely offset by the rapid absorption of the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique.

Yuan Datou grew even more admiring of Ye Liuyun.

He had already rested twice, while Ye Liuyun fought nonstop for a whole day without a single break.

Wei Pangzi and the others were also extremely impressed with Ye Liuyun: "Is this still a human? Even using blade intent, if we keep fighting like this, fatigue will kill me!"

"He must have some rapid recovery method, otherwise he wouldn't keep fighting like this. No matter how little the consumption, the True Essence should be exhausted!" Su Manning saw some insight.

Liang Xinyu watched Ye Liuyun's silhouette and was also full of admiration.

The speaker now thinks Ye Liuyun is great in every way. If Ye Liuyun can make a name for himself in the Qian Long Academy, that would truly be worthy of him.

Moreover, based on Ye Liuyun's ability, he should also rise to prominence in the Qian Long Academy.
