Chapter 3434

Ye Liuyun fought several more battles before returning to rest. Chen Yueying, meanwhile, was so excited that she no longer felt like fighting either.

Ye Liuyun returned to the spatial world to accelerate his cultivation, while she guarded the outside. Whenever Ye Liuyun was neither fighting nor cultivating, she had him roast meat for her to eat.

“It’s only a piece of clothing. Is there really any need to be so excited? If I’d known, I might as well not have given it to you!” Ye Liuyun assumed she was so excited because of the clothes.

“Hmph, what’s it to you? Anyway, I’m already wearing it. Now that you’ve given it to me, you can’t take it back!” Chen Yueying began joking around with Ye Liuyun as well.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled and stopped paying attention to her. He concentrated on roasting the meat, then hurried off to fight again.

After being tempered by battles during this period, he still wasn’t a match for a martial cultivator at the third level of the Taixu realm without using his divine essence and special powers. However, his Spatial Force was already strong enough to enter the second layer of the void. His cultivation of the power of heaven and earth had also reached roughly the level of an ordinary martial cultivator at the third level of the Taixu realm.

It was not until the day before Ye Liuyun was due to return to the military camp that he finally unleashed his full strength and fought several martial cultivators at the third level of the Taixu realm with everything he had.

As a result, each of those martial cultivators at the third level of the Taixu realm was killed by him in just one or two moves.

He first used his power of bloodline to suppress his opponents by an entire level. Then, with his blade intent and divine essence, combined with the power of heaven and earth and his Spatial Force, none of those martial cultivators could withstand a single slash from him.

Only two martial cultivators with relatively powerful spatial abilities could barely dodge his slash. But Ye Liuyun’s golden eyes released Golden Crow fire spirit, and with his second attack, they were unable to escape either.

“This power of bloodline and fire power... instant kills across levels!” After seeing this, Chen Yueying admired Ye Liuyun even more.

However, after using several people to practice with, Ye Liuyun stopped at once, making sure not to expend too much divine essence. Once the battle ended, he immediately went back to recover his divine essence, then came out to roast meat for Chen Yueying and bid her farewell.

He assumed that Chen Yueying was about to leave. Evil Creature were not allowed to enter their military camp freely. Even when relatives came to see someone, they would generally meet outside the camp.

Even if someone could enter the military camp, he was a commander and could never bring a woman back with him.

Chen Yueying, however, did not respond to that. She only said that she would not be leaving yet, as she still had something to do. Seeing that she did not elaborate, Ye Liuyun did not press her.

After finishing the roast meat, Chen Yueying said she would first see Ye Liuyun back to the military camp. She then accompanied him into the city and returned to the camp with him.

However, before Chen Yueying could say goodbye to Ye Liuyun, he had barely reached the entrance of the military camp when he was surrounded.

Ye Liuyun guessed that someone might have grown suspicious because of what had happened to Zhao Yuanpei.

At that moment, Grand Commander Hao Tai and Liao Yaotian, along with the others, also hurried over.

Beside Hao Tai stood another commander in military uniform who appeared to be his equal in rank.

“You’re Ye Liuyun?” The man looked him over and asked coldly.

Ye Liuyun ignored him and instead saluted Hao Tai. “Greetings, Grand Commander! Your subordinate Ye Liuyun has completed his leave and returned on schedule!”

Hao Tai nodded and said to Ye Liuyun, “Ye Liuyun, this is Song Zhen, the grand commander under the marquis. He has come to investigate the matter concerning the heir. After you left, did you happen to see the marquis’s heir, Zhao Yuanpei?”

“The heir? I didn’t see him!” Ye Liuyun answered directly.

“You didn’t go to that uninhabited planet?” Hao Tai’s expression eased slightly as he questioned Ye Liuyun again.

“I did, but by the time I arrived, someone had already taken the planet away.”

“Hmph. After you left, the heir also went to that uninhabited planet. You clearly left first, so how did you end up arriving after the heir? I think the heir’s disappearance has something to do with you, doesn’t it?” Song Zhen pressed Ye Liuyun coldly.

“Perhaps this lowly subordinate’s flying vessel was slower. But I truly didn’t see the heir. Was it the heir who took that planet away?” Ye Liuyun asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Watching from a distance, Chen Yueying could not help secretly laughing to herself. “This guy is really convincing when he lies!”

“Enough nonsense. Your word alone proves nothing. I need to search your soul to confirm the truth. Come with me to the royal manor!” Song Zhen ignored whatever he said and ordered his men to bind Ye Liuyun.

Hao Tai did not dare disobey Song Zhen’s order. After all, Song Zhen had been sent by Marquis Zhenwu to investigate the cause of the heir’s death.

Although they already knew that Zhao Yuanpei had been killed by Meng Yunshan and the others, and Zhao Yuanpei himself had never said that he had seen Ye Liuyun, the circumstances were simply too coincidental. Song Zhen still wanted to investigate Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was also considering whether to surrender or resist outright. If he resisted, Qi Tianlin and the others would certainly help him escape.

But if he surrendered, no one could predict what would happen afterward.

Just then, Chen Yueying stepped forward and spoke in a clear voice. “Who says his word proves nothing? I’ve been with him all these days, and I can testify for him. He really did arrive there only after the planet disappeared!”

“And who are you?” Song Zhen curled his lips in disdain when he saw Chen Yueying.

“An inner disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect, Chen Yueying!” As she spoke, she took out a sect token and waved it in front of Song Zhen and Hao Tai.

Hao Tai was stunned when he heard this, then began discussing the matter with Song Zhen through voice transmission.

At the same time, Chen Yueying also sent a voice transmission to Hao Tai.

Ye Liuyun watched with curiosity, unsure what they were saying. He was also puzzled. “An inner disciple of the Thousand Spirits Sect actually has such influence? Even two grand commanders have to show her respect? And Song Zhen was sent by Marquis Zhenwu to investigate his son’s death. Can this token really intimidate him?”

Ye Liuyun was worried that Chen Yueying’s token might not work and that not only would it fail to save him, but it would also drag her into trouble.

Before he could figure out how to handle the situation, however, Hao Tai and Song Zhen suddenly turned around and left together.

Only after they had gone did Hao Tai issue a distant order. “Ye Liuyun, return from leave and resume command of military affairs. Escort the distinguished guest from the Thousand Spirits Sect into the camp to rest for the night. Tomorrow, bring her to my main tent to report together!”

“Yes!” Ye Liuyun answered, bewildered, then looked toward Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying made a face at Ye Liuyun and shook the token in her hand. “Looks like this token is pretty useful, doesn’t it?”

“Uh... I didn’t expect this thing to be so useful! I was already thinking about how to kill Song Zhen and take you with me as I escaped!” Ye Liuyun replied through voice transmission.

Chen Yueying rolled her eyes at him and replied through voice transmission, “Your courage is admirable, but if you killed him here in the military camp, would you actually be able to escape?”

“What’s there to fear? All the soldiers around here are mine!” Ye Liuyun smiled as well, then called to Liao Yaotian, Qi Tianlin, and the surrounding soldiers, telling them to return to the camp with him.

Only then did Chen Yueying realize that the soldiers around them were all Ye Liuyun’s subordinates.

“Did you arrange all this?” Ye Liuyun also turned to Liao Yaotian and asked.
