Chapter 864: Farewell to Liang Xue

Ye Liuyun's current mood was unusually excited; he felt his heart about to burst out.

"Could it be that Xue'er has already reached the Zhongyang Dalu? That's possible. If she gains control of the Qing Huo Mi Jing, she might teleport here directly."

"There are several people following that aura!" Ice Demon Tiger reported to Ye Liuyun.

"Hurry and catch up with them; Xue'er might be in danger!" Ye Liuyun grew even more anxious.

His speed in the void was no slower at all than that of Ice Demon Tiger and Ghost Butterfly.

His Golden Pupil quickly spotted the silhouettes ahead, and faintly caught Qing Lin's back.

"Two Sixfold Creation Martial Cultivators and a Fourfold Creation shadow member." Ye Liuyun was a bit startled by the formation. "What kind of people has Xue'er provoked?"

Suddenly, Qing Lin burst out of the void, and those people followed. Ye Liuyun, with Ice Demon Tiger and Ghost Butterfly, kept accelerating and chased after them.

The moment he emerged, he saw Qing Lin activate a Crescent Staff, forming a shield. Liang Xue rode on Qing Lin's back, clad in that divine protective robe, looking deeply worried.

The two Sixfold Creation Martial Cultivators and the shadow member were jointly bombarding the shield.

"Ghost Butterfly, take out that shadow member first; Ice Demon Tiger, handle the other two!"

Ye Liuyun didn't have time to greet Liang Xue; he immediately coordinated with Ghost Butterfly.

Ghost Butterfly went to destroy the shadow member's primary Soul, while Ye Liuyun pulled its secondary Soul into his Yin Yang Realm.

"How bold you are, daring to thwart this prince's affairs!" The shadow member's secondary Soul, after being drawn into Ye Liuyun's Yin Yang Realm, showed no fear and instead scolded Ye Liuyun.

"Prince?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that the shadow member was actually a prince.

"Indeed! I am the second prince of the Daxia Chao! Release me at once. Dare you injure a single fragment of my Soul, and I'll skin you!" the second prince threatened.

"Uh…" Ye Liuyun realized that Ghost Butterfly had already annihilated and absorbed its primary Soul. "You seem to have misspoken!"

"What? You dare injure my Soul!" the second prince raged.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled faintly and directly absorbed the second prince's secondary Soul.

"You kid are doomed! The dynasty has special means and will surely track you down!"

The second prince, still unable to see the situation clearly, kept threatening Ye Liuyun.

"We'll deal with that if they find out!" Ye Liuyun now couldn't stop.

If he didn't finish off the second prince, he wouldn't spare himself either. So Ye Liuyun decided to kill him outright.

When the absorption was nearly complete, he performed a Soul Search on the second prince, hoping to see whether the shadow organization was indeed created by the dynasty.

The result was the same, except the second prince was stronger and ranked higher than the previous shadow member; yet he still didn't know who truly masterminded the shadow group.

He, too, had joined the shadows during testing here, but he did so voluntarily.

"Even the prince doesn't know; this shadow leader is truly secretive!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, then completely absorbed the second prince's Soul.

Ye Liuyun also specifically searched the Shadow Concealment Technique and found that their practiced Shadow Concealment Technique was identical.

Of the remaining two Sixfold Creation Martial Cultivators, one had been frozen into an ice block by the black Demon Qi spewed from Ice Demon Tiger, and the other was smashed into a meat patty by Ice Demon Tiger's palm strike.

"Xue'er!" After dealing with the second prince, Ye Liuyun hurried to greet Liang Xue.

"Liuyun!" Liang Xue was overjoyed, not expecting to meet Ye Liuyun here.

Ye Liuyun casually gathered the corpses, and Qing Lin also deactivated the shield.

At first Qing Lin thought a high‑rank strongman had appeared and was worried; upon seeing Ye Liuyun, he let out a sigh of relief.

Liang Xue rushed over, threw herself into Ye Liuyun's arms, so moved that tears welled up.

"I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Don't be afraid; with me here, no one can hurt you!" Ye Liuyun held Liang Xue tightly, comforting her.

"How did you end up here? Where did those two come from?" Qing Lin asked Ye Liuyun, puzzled.

Sensing Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger's senior aura pressure, he also felt his heart race.

"I joined the Qian Long Academy to test here. Those two are my partners," Ye Liuyun said simply.

Liang Xue and Ye Liuyun hadn't seen each other for a long time, so neither wanted to part.

"You two, could you postpone any affection and first take care of the scene?" Qing Lin waited a moment, saw they still wouldn't separate, and had to remind them.

"Deal with the scene?" Ye Liuyun was a bit puzzled.

"Of course! These are disciples of a major Sect with backing. We have to handle it so no trace is left!" Qing Lin explained.

"You make sense!" Ye Liuyun finally released Liang Xue.

"That shadow member earlier, I performed a Soul Search on him. He turned out to be the second prince of the Daxia Chao! And he said the dynasty has special means to find his cause of death," Ye Liuyun told Qing Lin.

"Then it must be dealt with! Leave it to me; gather both of them, cease emitting aura, and bring out the second prince's corpse!" Qing Lin arranged.

Ye Liuyun immediately gathered Ghost Butterfly and Ice Demon Tiger, and handed the second prince's corpse to Qing Lin.

"You two, keep your distance as well!" Qing Lin also told Ye Liuyun and Liang Xue to leave the scene.

Then he swallowed the Spirit Stone and pills from the second prince's Storage Ring, and began to burn them with Qing Huo.

He burned the second prince's Physical Body and even the surrounding air completely dry.

He even returned to the void and incinerated all the trail of their escape, preventing any tracking; the cleanup was meticulous.

"Is that enough?" Ye Liuyun asked Qing Lin.

"It can't completely avoid detection, but at least they won't find bodies or people, only suspect us," Qing Lin explained.

Then Qing Lin suggested, "Find a place with no one around, and we can talk in detail."

Immediately, the group left, found an empty spot, and began discussing what had happened afterward.

Liang Xue, a year and a half ago, had completed her inheritance and fully refined the Qing Huo Mi Jing.

Afterward, she teleported straight to the Zhongyang Dalu. Three months ago she joined a massive Sect, Tianxin Sect, and now she was here for testing.

Currently Liang Xue's realm has reached the First Layer of Creation. Even the Earth Demon Dragon has reached Yin Yang Eightfold, a level higher than Ye Liuyun.
