Chapter 2064: Chapter 2064 Do As You Wish
"What if it’s a trap? Should we get some help?" With concern, Bai Feng enquired.
"No need. I have help! After Zhang Minghui has fully recovered, let me know. I shall now return to make some preparations,"
After Ye Liuyun declared, he returned to his place. He had Lin Luo prepare a few Youth Preserving Pill in advance for Li Xingrou. He then handed it to Azure to keepsake for now.
Then, he went to find Jin Qingsong to apply for time off with the excuse he needed to go out for a while. He promised he wouldn’t take too long before he returned.
He didn’t mention Zhang Minghui’s recovery to avoid arousing Jin Qingsong’s suspicion.
Jin Qingsong even hoped that he would leave Lin Luo and Lin Xiyao behind. However, fearing any possible threat, Ye Liuyun didn’t agree.
Helpless, Jin Qingsong could only ask them to return to him as quickly as possible.
Except for Azure and Liger, Ye Liuyun departed from the Northsky Sect and went to a small town outside the sect gate to wait for Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.
Nobody noticed him after he put on his disguise.
After a few days, Zhang Minghui’s injury had entirely healed. She and Bai Feng arrived at the promised point to meet up with Ye Liuyun.
Before their arrival, Ye Liuyun had already left the small village and was waiting outside to observe if anyone was following Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.
Sure enough, two members of the Northsky Sect were tailing Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui, just as Ye Liuyun suspected.
He had no idea who these people were affiliated with, so he made Mohai knock them out and read their minds.
"They are Murong Tian’s subordinates!"
Ye Liuyun consumed their Divine Souls on the spot before finally meeting up with Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.
"Weren’t you here first? Why do we have to wait for you?" Bai Feng complained about her discontent.
"You were being followed. I had to deal with them first for you. However, Li Yunguang must have known your whereabouts by now!"
Ye Liuyun replied helplessly. Bai Feng was too careless, but given her status, it was difficult for her to go unnoticed after leaving the sect.
Bai Feng was rather embarrassed as she asked, "Who was following us?"
"Murong Tian’s followers. It seems that the Alliance of Merchants’s collaboration with the Eastern Royal Management involves Murong Tian," Ye Liu Yun analyzed.
"Murong Tian! He is always keen on interfering!" Zhang Minghui was also disgruntled with Murong Tian.
If Bai Feng wasn’t her master, she might not have escaped Murong Tian’s oppression.
"Should we proceed?" Bai Feng asked worriedly.
"You two go ahead. I’ll trail behind," Ye Liu Yun organised their position.
Eventually, they left the small town one after another.
"Tell Zhang Mingfeng to take a detour, don’t go in a straight line!" Ye Liuyun conveyed his message to Bai Feng via their Divine Soul contract
Immediately, Bai Feng advised Zhang Minghui to take a detour.
The place where Zhang Minghui previously got injured wasn’t far from Northsky Sect. Even with a detoured journey, they arrived within five days.
Ye Liuyun didn’t allow them to approach the town before he used his Divine Sense to scout around first. Then, he led Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui hurried off towards a dense forest outside the city.
"Why are we entering the forest?" Zhang Minghui asked in confusion.
Ye Liuyun explained, "In this dense forest, there is an intermediate Eighth-level martial practitioner. He had with him a dozen praetorian guards of the Sixth level, as well as a sixth-level Devil Beast!"
"There’s another group behind the other side of the mountain. They had hidden themselves in advance to cut off our retreat. We should take them down first!"
Bai Feng rebutted, "How do you know they’re targeting us? What if they’re not?"
Ye Liuyun halted and questioned back, "What do you think they’re here for? You think they are here to take a leisure stroll?"
"But they haven’t made a move. If we strike first, wouldn’t that make us unreasonable?" Bai Feng continued.
Ye Liuyun was nearly driven mad by Bai Feng’s logic.
He responded, "So, by your logic, we should wait for them to make the first move, and then try to reason with them?"
Bai Feng was left without a better retort but still asserted, "Anyway, we shouldn’t be the ones to strike first!"
Ye Liuyun said, "Do as you please! After all, we’re out here for your disciple’s revenge. I’ve told you the situation. It’s up to you what to do. I won’t advance with you if we don’t clear off the potential ambush!"
"Why don’t we ask them if they are targeting us?" Zhang Minghui suggested.
Ye Liuyun was left utterly speechless.
Both of them were just as stubborn.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression, Zhang Minghui explained, "Chen Feng, my master and I don’t usually go out. We’re not adept at any strategies. How do you think we should handle this?"
Ye Liuyun could only repeat what he said earlier. "Let’s take them down first. Then we move into the city to deal with Li Yunguang!"
At his suggestion, both Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui showed signs of distress.
"What if we accidentally kill the innocent?" They counter-debated.
"I’ll leave it up for you to decide. I’m out of ideas!" Ye Liuyun appeared helpless when it came to them.
"Why don’t we enter the city to investigate first?" Zhang Minghui suggested again.
"Once you get into the city, they’ll discover you. When they surround you, you can’t escape!" Ye Liuyun warned.
"No, we’ll sneak in after dark, hide our presence, and be careful. They won’t find us." Bai Feng argued.
"Suit yourself! I’m not joining your suicide mission! If you want to go, go yourself. I’ll stay here and cover for you!" Ye Liuyun decided not to go with them, it was more convenient for him to act alone.
He didn’t enforce his Divine Soul contract on Bai Feng. He let her face some troubles on her own so that she would trust him in the future.
"Alright then! Be careful. We’ll enter to scout the situation!" Bai Feng had no choice but to go and scout by herself, as she couldn’t persuade Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun turned around and left without lingering any longer.
"Master, is he angry?" Zhang Minghui asked Bai Feng.
"Who cares! He wants to kill without investigating the full situation. I couldn’t do it! Even without him, we can still take revenge. Let’s go!" Bai Feng replied indifferently.
But she reminded Zhang Minghui. "Hide your aura and be careful!"
“Okay!" After Zhang Minghui replied, they stealthily made their way towards the town in the darkness.
After being at a safe distance from them, Ye Liuyun slipped on his Concealcape and sprinted into the thick woodland.
As soon as he approached those martial practitioners, Ye Liuyun didn’t waste his time on words and launched a Divine Soul attack on the martial practitioner of the Eighth level. At the same time, he released his clone, Ning Fei, Mo Hai, Xenocide, Xenocide, Dragon Lady, Vermilion Bird, the Bull Tiger, and the Demonic Wolf. They all unleashed their forces together, pressuring the guards to not act rashly.
In the Eastern Royal Management, other than the Great Expert Jiang Yuan, the others’ divine soul strength was only mediocre. These masters had no habit of wearing defensive items against divine soul attacks. Because of this, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul sneak attack was easily done.
He searched their soul and confirmed that these people were indeed here to ambush Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.
Ye Liuyun then enslaved each of the guards and Devil Beast by imprinting them with his Slaving Seal.
With the same method, he enslaved all the martial practitioners behind the other side of the mountain.
At this moment, they had also received news from Li Yunguang that BaiFeng and Zhang Minghuo had been caught.
Thus, cloaked with his Concealcape, Ye Liuyun walked among them toward Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.
