Chapter 844: Important Enemy Intelligence

"What, have you taken a liking to him?" Su Manning whispered.

Thoughts between women are still easier for women to understand.

"No way! I'm just looking forward to seeing what he'll become in the future!" Liang Xinyu, of course, would not admit it.

"Are you afraid he won't be good enough for you? I think, with his potential, he'll soar to the heavens. If you don't act quickly, I won't hold back!" Su Manning seemed to be joking.

In fact, she had seen many men lose composure before her. Only Ye Liuyun could keep his true self, which already piqued her interest.

"I still need to see his character. Do you think he's suitable?" Liang Xinyu asked in surprise.

Su Manning looked toward Ye Liuyun's direction, didn't answer directly, and retorted, "Don't you think he's outstanding?"

She thought that Ye Liuyun's resistance to her charms already proved his character was sound, needing no further test.

The two women silently watched Ye Liuyun slay Corpse Demons, becoming increasingly reluctant to look away.

Wei Pangzi glanced at the two, muttering to himself, "Why does no one like me? I'm not lacking either!"

Yet he looked up at Ye Liuyun again, and with a helpless smirk said, "I'm only a little worse than him, that's all!"

Ye Liuyun was fighting when he suddenly retreated.

"Careful, someone's ambushing!"

Ye Liuyun shouted while releasing a ghost butterfly.

The ghost butterfly surged straight in one direction.

It turned out they were all watching Ye Liuyun fight, neglecting defense, and didn't notice members of Lie Mo Sect slipping out of the Formation to ambush them.

Fortunately Ye Liuyun kept an eye on Lie Mo Sect; otherwise those few might have been captured by Lie Mo Sect members and interrogated about the situation.

When the ghost butterfly arrived, the two Zao Hua Realm Elders of Lie Mo Sect could no longer conceal themselves, immediately revealing themselves and turning to flee.

"One each!" Ye Liuyun ordered the ghost butterfly, pulling the Soul of a slightly lower‑ranked Elder into his Yin Yang Realm.

The ghost butterfly also instantly annihilated the Soul of the other Zao Hua Realm Elder.

Liang Xinyu and the others were merely startled, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Those two Zao Hua Realm Elders were less than a li away. For masters of the Zao Hua Realm, that distance could be covered in the blink of an eye.

"Weren't I asking you to watch Lie Mo Sect's movements?" Ye Liuyun asked Su Manning.

"My apologies! I just saw Young Master Ye heroically slay the enemy, and I was mesmerized by your silhouette, neglecting my task!"

Su Manning coquettishly admitted fault, also subtly expressing her thoughts.

Ye Liuyun couldn't say much to her either, after all it was their first collaboration.

He immediately focused on conducting a Soul Search on the pulled‑in Soul.

Upon searching, he was greatly surprised.

From the Elder's Soul, Ye Liuyun learned that within Lie Mo Sect's Sect, only about half the personnel remained stationed.

Although none of the Foreign Tribe's few strong ones escaped and were all pinned down by high‑ranking elites, half of Lie Mo Sect's Elders and disciples had already ambushed within two nearby Sects, waiting for the Dynasty Army's assault on Lie Mo Sect to strike them before they could react.

Moreover, the ambush included not only tens of thousands of Lie Mo Sect disciples but also nearly a hundred thousand Corpse Demons.

"Magic Vine, clear all the enemies. Yuan Datou, pull back quickly, or I'll make sure you never get a chance to fight again!" Ye Liuyun ordered both Magic Vine and Yuan Datou.

He understood Yuan Datou's mindset just right.

Upon hearing, Yuan Datou immediately rushed back.

"What's wrong?" Liang Xinyu and Wei Pangzi both sensed something amiss.

"We have important intelligence that needs to be sent back!" Ye Liuyun promptly shared his discovery with everyone.

"It might be too late! The army should be about to set out by now!" the others worried.

"Regardless, the earlier we return, the safer the army will be."

Ye Liuyun made a swift decision, assigning the task: "Yuan Datou, protect Xinyu and the others, thread back through Mi Lin, find the captain of the Golden Armor Guard to report the situation. We'll act separately."

"What about you?" Liang Xinyu asked Ye Liuyun.

"I'll rush to the Lie Mo Sect ambush site first, and stall them as much as possible."

Ye Liuyun replied, turned to vanish into the void, but Liang Xinyu grabbed him.

Liang Xinyu, also a bit flustered, after holding Ye Liuyun, flushed slightly, and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

"Don't worry, I won't be foolish enough to risk it. I'll first scout the situation, not fight them head‑on. You all go report the news!"

Ye Liuyun reassured Liang Xinyu, then vanished into the void, hurrying to a Lie Mo Sect ambush spot.

Yuan Datou proved reliable this time. He mainly feared that Ye Liuyun might not give him any battles later, so on the way back he didn't linger in combat, cleared a path, and sprinted back with Liang Xinyu and the others.

When they arrived in Mi Lin, they had already swept it, clearing many beasts and Corpse Demons. Thus Liang Xinyu and the others finally returned just after the army had set out.

The general of the Golden Armor Guard, after receiving the intelligence, immediately reported to the army's commander‑in‑chief. The army halted at once and made adjustments.

In fact, whatever the battle, the Dynasty Army was bound to win, given the massive disparity in numbers and strength.

But a surprise attack by Lie Mo Sect would cause heavy losses.

So Ye Liuyun and his companions earned great merit.

After the army finalized its response plan, it set out again. On the surface they still rushed toward Lie Mo Sect, but in fact the Fire Wolf Brigade had been placed at the rear, specifically to intercept Lie Mo Sect's ambush.

Ye Liuyun himself, before the army's second departure, arrived at a Lie Mo Sect ambush location.

The sect appeared as ruins, seemingly uninhabited. Yet Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to probe carefully and discovered traces of Demon Cultivators.

He then used his Golden Pupil to confirm. "So they've been hiding underground!"

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, produced a Magic Vine seed. "Now see if you can swallow that much!"

The Magic Vine seed emitted Divine Sense ripples, showing great excitement.

"If you act faster, we might even absorb the Demon Cultivators from another ambush!"

After speaking, Ye Liuyun tossed the Magic Vine seed outward.

In the underground chamber, Lie Mo Sect's Demon Cultivators waited patiently, while the Corpse Demons were packed together with no room to fight.

They also, in order to avoid attracting attention, did not make the basement very large.
