Chapter 2908: Chapter 2908
Ye Liuyun went straight to the mission hall and requested to take on the task of eliminating the Wan family’s stationed experts.
He saw this as the perfect opportunity—using the Tang family’s resources to retaliate against the Wan family for their relentless pursuit of him.
"You? Alone?" The attendant in charge of the mission hall thought he must have misheard when Ye Liuyun made his request.
"Yes." Ye Liuyun even handed over his token for registration.
"You can’t be serious?" the attendant pressed, incredulous.
A disciple at the seventh level of the Dominator Realm, attempting to single-handedly kill over a hundred experts at the Unity Realm? It was no wonder the attendant found it hard to believe.
Had Ye Liuyun not presented his elite inner disciple token, the attendant might have slapped him out of the hall on the spot.
Understanding the man’s skepticism, Ye Liuyun explained, "I have some high-realm beasts as backup."
The attendant immediately glanced at Lei Ming, perched on Ye Liuyun’s shoulder, only to see she was merely at the eighth level of the Dominator Realm. He still couldn’t believe it. In his mind, unless Ye Liuyun had a beast at least at the third level of the Unity Realm, this mission would be impossible.
"Not her," Ye Liuyun clarified, though he saw no need to actually demonstrate his full strength.
"Fine. If you insist on taking this mission, I’ll register you. But you should know—failing three consecutive tasks will result in punishment from the family!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s determination, the attendant reluctantly proceeded with the registration, though he couldn’t help but warn him, just in case this young disciple was simply bored and playing games with him.
"I understand," Ye Liuyun replied earnestly.
The attendant said nothing more and asked for his name to complete the registration.
"Tang Xiaofeng," Ye Liuyun answered promptly.
"Tang Xiaofeng? That new inner disciple recruited by the Fifth Elder?" The attendant was equally surprised upon hearing the name.
Recently, among the Tang family’s upper echelons and elders, Tang Xiaofeng’s name had already spread. A disciple personally favored by the Fifth Elder was bound to draw attention from all the elders. However, since joining the inner sect, he had secluded himself in cultivation within the secret realm, so few had actually met him.
The attendant was equally puzzled, wondering what madness had possessed this disciple recruited by the Fifth Elder.
He mused inwardly, *"Could he really be that strong?"*
Ye Liuyun, unaware of whether the Fifth Elder had recently taken on any new disciples, simply replied, "The Fifth Elder recruited me into the inner sect."
The attendant scrutinized him once more but said nothing further, merely jotting down his name. He then handed over the mission details, which contained comprehensive information on the Wan family experts—appearances, strengths, and more.
*"Seems the Tang family had already gathered intel on these people and deliberately left them as training fodder for disciples. And yet, the Wan family still thinks they’re being discreet!"* Ye Liuyun smirked inwardly, amused that the Wan family’s schemes had long been exposed.
After memorizing the details, he left the Tang estate and headed straight for the starry void. Instead of charging directly toward the Wan family experts, he detoured briefly before cloaking himself with an invisibility mantle and closing in on them.
Along the way, he had already devised a strategy, instructing Li Daoyuan and the other Unity Realm experts under Ye Tiandao to prepare for battle.
Among his companions, only his doppelgänger, Black Tiger, and the Purple Kylin Snake were suited for combat. The Purple Kylin Snake had just broken through to the first level of Unity Realm and could use the battle to consolidate its foundation. The Demon Vine and Black Mountain, however, were ill-suited to fight these warriors, as their Buddhist light-based attacks could easily harm them.
He also ordered the group to focus on trapping the enemies, leaving them to him for practice. Having recently refined his control over Heaven and Earth energies, he saw this as the perfect opportunity to test his progress against the Wan family’s elites.
Once near the Wan family members, Ye Liuyun abruptly unleashed over two hundred Unity Realm experts, shedding his invisibility mantle and charging straight at a first-level Dominance Realm martial artist.
He struck first with a palm strike, channeling pure Heaven and Earth energy without relying on any other power, and aimed it at a Unity Realm opponent.
The warrior, sensing the force behind the blow, retaliated with a full-powered palm strike of his own. Yet even at full strength, he failed to block Ye Liuyun’s attack and was instead forced back several steps.
*"The results are even better than expected!"*
Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected the results to be this impressive. Without hesitation, he once again channeled the power of the heavens and earth, launching another assault at the martial cultivator.
For the first time, he truly understood the effortless dominance Mo Tianheng had once displayed—just a casual palm strike could leave opponents reeling.
His doppelgänger mirrored his actions, relentlessly bombarding a Unity Realm first-layer martial cultivator with the same celestial energy. Meanwhile, Black Tiger, with his formidable soul and physical prowess, swiftly dispatched one opponent before moving on to the next. The Purple Kirin, on the other hand, toyed with its foes, occasionally unleashing its temporal power to obliterate them before switching targets.
The Wan family was caught completely off guard by the sudden onslaught. Worse still, Ye Liuyun’s forces outnumbered theirs by two to one, encircling them entirely.
The Wan family’s leader, a Unity Realm second-layer martial cultivator, was locked in a stalemate with Li Daoyuan. Even as they clashed, he kept demanding answers about their origins. But Li Daoyuan remained silent, focusing solely on the fight—any slip of the tongue might reveal their weaknesses.
Around them, over a dozen Unity Realm first-layer martial cultivators formed a tight perimeter, ensuring the Wan family’s strongest couldn’t escape.
Ye Liuyun and his doppelgänger only grew stronger as the battle raged on, their mastery of celestial energy becoming ever more fluid. Before long, they had battered their opponents to the point of vomiting blood, leaving the final blows to their allies.
Then, they turned their attention to the Unity Realm second-layer warrior, while Li Daoyuan and the others kept him from fleeing.
"Dominion Realm seventh layer?" The Wan family’s elite nearly laughed in disbelief. He couldn’t fathom two Dominion Realm seventh-layer cultivators daring to challenge him.
But the moment they engaged, his shock was palpable. Without even resorting to other abilities, Ye Liuyun and his doppelgänger held their own against him purely through celestial energy.
As the fight progressed, their control over the heavens and earth grew even more refined, their skills sharpening under the pressure of a superior foe. Eventually, the doppelgänger disengaged entirely, seeking another target, leaving Ye Liuyun alone to face the Unity Realm second-layer warrior.
This only deepened the man’s unease. With every exchange, his confidence waned, his eyes darting around for an escape route.
Noticing his hesitation, Ye Liuyun summoned the Demon-Slaying Blade, merging its intent with celestial energy to completely suppress the warrior, cutting off any chance of retreat. Then, with a relentless barrage of strikes, he cut the man down where he stood.
Even Ye Liuyun was stunned by the outcome. Before, opponents like this could shrug off his attacks as long as their true essence held. Now, he could finally slay them outright.
The rest of the battle concluded swiftly. With their numerical advantage, Ye Liuyun’s forces overwhelmed the Wan family’s warriors—two or three against one—leaving them no chance of victory.
