Chapter 1815: Chapter 1815 Forced to Sacrifice Himself
Next, they hurried together to the Yin-soul Mountain.
Xiao Yunfang told Ye Liuyun about how a mysterious person saved them, but Ye Liuyun did not offer any explanation.
Yet Xiao Yunfang still felt it had something to do with Ye Liuyun. She always had the feeling that there was a mysterious person around Ye Liuyun.
Along the way, battles were ceaseless.
Gradually, they adapted to the intensity of the fights here.
Whenever they encountered martial practitioners on the way, even if the others did not provoke them, they would rush up to seize their resources.
Soon, the gang’s fierce reputation spread.
Some, upon encountering them, would avoid them from afar.
Yet, this also attracted many formidable opponents. Some martial practitioners, craving fame, would actively look for them and challenge them. Therefore, their opponents kept growing stronger and stronger.
Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng barely had any chance to recover their genuine energy along the journey, there simply were too many fights.
To cope with their enemies, Ye Liuyun and the others had to rely on taking turns retreating to the Xuankong Stone to cultivate.
Ye Liuyun’s cultivation level of his advance energy had reached a point where he could break through to the late stage of the Third Realm. But he did not rush to progress, afraid that the fluctuations of his energy would reveal his capability.
They fought all the way to the Yin-soul Mountain, where they surprisingly found even more martial practitioners. This left them with even less time to rest.
The frequency of their battles increased even more.
They even encountered feral beasts on their way to the Yin-soul Mountain.
Ye Liuyun left the feral beasts to Dragon Lady and Lei Ming, who then used their bloodline to suppress the beasts, hoping to end the fight quicker.
It was only then did Xiao Yunfang discover the strange aura surrounding Dragon Lady and Lei Ming.
Ye Liuyun thought it was okay to let her know since she asked. Only after asking, she discovered that the two of them were in fact, Demons, including the Black Panther. It was just that the latter was yet to turn into a human form.
"You actually have three Demon!" Xiao Yunfang was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah! If you’re not mistaken, there should be three!" Ye Liuyun replied with a laugh.
As for the Moonflower Sisters and the newly acquired three Demons, he had not yet planned to tell her.
"How many secrets do you have? Are you the heir of some big family out on an adventure?" Xiao Yunfang guessed.
"You better stop guessing! I’m indeed genuinely from the mortal world, guaranteed to be true!" Ye Liuyun laughed.
"Gosh! We’re all from the mortal world, but the gap between us, d*mn!" Quan Zhicheng also sighed.
He too came from the mortal world, but his strength was much weaker than Ye Liuyun.
Besides, he arrived almost a year earlier than Ye Liuyun, and only after participating in the selection competition of the foreign race battlefield did his realm improve somewhat faster.
While they were chatting, suddenly a mournful howl came from the direction of the Yin-soul Mountain.
Others didn’t understand what it meant, but Ye Liuyun felt that it was a painful cry from the Yin-souls.
"It seems there’s indeed a problem with Yin-soul Mountain," Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
And so, he hurried towards Yin-soul Mountain with everyone else.
On their way, they encountered a Demon. After sensing the aura of Dragon Lady, the Demon ran directly, not daring to intercept them.
Soon, the information that Ye Liuyun had a Demon in his team was also spread.
Many teams began to target them for interception.
The way Ye Liuyun dealt with this situation was to kill any enemies they encountered, without leaving one. But their progress had slowed considerably.
Just then, Qingfeng sent a message asking for help, "Sir, that foreign race already got all the ingredients for the medicine. By the way, he found a Lilac Crystal Bloom out of nowhere, what should I do?
Also, he told me if I can’t refine Elixirs, he’s gonna search my soul, take my elixir recipe and find someone else to refine it!"
Ye Liuyun, being in a master-servant contract with him, could fully understand his thoughts.
Qingfeng was ready to surrender. In fact, he didn’t care about foreign race or whatnot, he just wished to survive.
Ye Liuyun could only say through gritted teeth, "Alright! Do as I say!"
At this point, even if Ye Liuyun wanted to save him, it was too late. He had to sacrifice Qingfeng.
According to Ye Liuyun’s instructions, Qingfeng put the entire Lilac Crystal Bloom into the elixir furnace and then added fire, instantly refining it into ash powder.
Qingfeng, also in compliance with Ye Liuyun’s requirement, channeled all his source of Flame Force into the elixir furnace.
After Qingfeng heard Ye Liuyun instructed him to put the entire Lilac Crystal Bloom into the elixir furnace, he knew things were not looking good.
But he was controlled by Ye Liuyun and couldn’t resist, so he could only continuously beg Ye Liuyun to spare him.
However, Ye Liuyun had made up his mind and ignored him. After Qingfeng input all the source of his Flame Force into the elixir furnace, Ye Liuyun ordered him to jump into the elixir furnace himself.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun’s order was carried out without a trace of hesitation.
Qingfeng also promptly jumped in with bitter tears.
By the time the foreign race detected something unusual, Qingfeng was already burnt to ashes. In the furnace, only a flicker of Fire if Pills remained.
The foreign race hadn’t expected that Qingfeng, who seemed like a fearful and money-minded wimp, could make such a courageous act.
Infuriated, he lashed out, extinguishing the remaining Fire of Pills, but he could do little else.
After doing all this, Ye Liuyun also sighed in relief.
In desperation, he sacrificed Qingfeng. He felt a mix of guilt and struggle in his heart. The process was more torturous than going through a major battle.
"Don’t blame me! If I were in your shoes, I’d do the same, I’ll sacrifice myself too!" he mumbled to himself.
Yet, Qingfeng’s sacrifice was not in vain, much to the foreigners’ disappointment.
Not only did he fail to acquire the elixir formula, but he also lost all the medicinal materials. It would be even more difficult wanting to concoct elixirs again. At least in the short term, he had no chance.
Ye Liuyun immediately returned to the Xuankong Stone to calm his emotions and let his clone take over for a while.
Outside, there were martial practitioners rushing towards them.
"D*mn martial practitioners, if they had the strength, just go fight the foreign race! Why snatch our resources?! Kill! Kill them all!" Ye Liuyun braced himself to fight.
His clone, along with Lei Ming and the others, even fought with all their might. Lei Ming also went all out, using his true form, his thunder and lightning, his power, and colossal physique.
The clone was responsible for consuming the Divine Soul of everyone and took out all the virtuoso, leaving none behind.
Without having Xiao Yunfang and Quan Zhicheng to move a muscle, Lei Ming and the others wiped out over a dozen martial practitioners within seconds.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, Lei Ming sent a warning to all the feral beasts and Demons in the forest not to come close. The Dragon Lady also cooperated by releasing the Dragon Clan’s smell, frightening away all the feral beasts that were attracted by the battle.
The human martial practitioners who were lured in were all killed without exception.
The clone utilised Divine Soul attacks, lightning, flame, and Devil Qi. He displayed every technique at once, even the Fifth Level blade was used. Not only that, he was constantly transforming between sword intention, Spatial Force, and power of heaven and earth.
The martial practitioners who rushed over were mostly killed off at the first encounter. The clone didn’t even give them a chance to escape.
"What’s wrong with him?" Xiao Yunfang also felt as if Ye Liuyun had suddenly gone mad.
Quan Zhicheng was also stunned. "Did you say something that provoked him?"
"I didn’t!" Xiao Yunfang had been too focused on the fight to have the time to bicker with Ye Liuyun.
