Ye Liuyun used his Divine Sense to probe backward and discovered eight guards in the Second and the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase. Moreover, there was an even more powerful aura behind those guards.
"Eight guards at the Second and the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase. There's an even stronger aura behind them. The rest of you should leave first and return to the family to seek help. Miss Liang, the elders, and I will be the last. Don't stop now. Run as far as you can!" Ye Liuyun decisively made the necessary arrangements.
He knew that not all of them would be able to leave, and Ye Tianci and the others were doomed to die if they stayed. It was better for them to go back and ask for help. Maybe the aid would still come in time.
At this time, the Elders who were protecting them had also discovered the guards who were chasing after them. He was even more anxious.
Everyone was waving their whips and running as fast as they could.
The guards at the back also chased after them. After running for some distance, the guards finally caught up to them.
Ye Tianci and the rest continued their journey too. They knew that staying behind would only add to the chaos. They might as well return to the family to seek help.
The guards did not chase after them. After all, they were not their main targets.
Fortunately, Ye Liuyun and the others were riding horses and did not deplete much energy. They immediately launched an attack on their guards the moment they dismounted.
Ye Liuyun punched at a guard of the Second Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase, who was dashing over. Liang Xue and the elder were helping him defend against the others.
The corner of the guard's mouth lifted. Without thinking, he threw a punch at Ye Liuyun. He thought that this punch could take Ye Liuyun's life. After all, Ye Liuyun was just a junior in the physical refining phase.
It was a pity that he had not witnessed Ye Liuyun's battle with Mo Tianheng. He had never expected that he would be the one being sent flying!
After Ye Liuyun managed to succeed in his first blow, he immediately punched at a guard of the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase who was tangled with the First Elder.
"You're courting death!" The guard bellowed and swung his palm at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun launched his Divine Soul attack first. The guard's Divine Soul was instantly penetrated by Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense Sword.
While he was in a daze, Ye Liuyun took advantage of the opportunity to hit him in the head. His brain juice splashed on the spot.
On Liang Xue's side, a guard with the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase was also killed by a sword. She was surrounded by three other guards. However, she was in a high realm, so she was not in danger.
Seeing that she could still handle the attack, Ye Liuyun joined forces with the family elder to attack another guard of the Third Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase. First, he attacked with the Soul Sword. Then, he killed the guard with one punch.
Soon, the two of them returned to help Liang Xue. Each of the three guards was defeated.
At this moment, the white-haired old man had also arrived. He launched an attack on Ye Liuyun.
The elder of the Ye Family faced the attack, but he was punched away.
Liang Xue also waved her sword to block, but the elder easily bypassed her and continued to attack Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun's expression did not change. Suddenly, a saber appeared in his hand. Then, he sent the Soul Sword into the old man's Ocean of Consciousness and slashed down the saber in an incredibly domineering manner.
The white-haired old man was already injured. He was stopped by the elders and spent True Qi to avoid Liang Xue. At this moment, he had just used up his old strength and had not regained his new strength.
He was also ambushed by Ye Liuyun's Soul Sword, resulting in weak defense. One-third of his body was cleaved by Ye Liuyun.
Seeing that he was about to die, he punched Ye Liuyun with all his might.
Even though this attack did not use all his strength, it was still enough for Ye Liuyun to suffer. In an instant, he was sent flying and spat out a mouthful of blood!
When Liang Xue saw that Ye Liuyun was injured, she also became ruthless and chopped off the head of the white-haired old man with her sword.
Then, she pounced on Ye Liuyun and held him in her arms.
"I'm fine! It's just a little injury. It's not serious!"
Ye Liuyun could feel her anxiety and could not help feeling touched. He hurriedly comforted her.
Liang Xue was relieved to see that Ye Liuyun's injury did not seem to be very serious. But she still hugged him and did not let him go.
Ye Liuyun immediately took out a healing pill and swallowed it.
He also took a healing pill and asked Liang Xue to feed it to the family elder.
The elder was seriously injured and was in a coma at this moment. After Liang Xue fed him the pill, she forced the pill into his body with her True Qi, and finally saved his life.
Then, she returned to Ye Liuyun and scolded, "Where's your Black Python? Why aren't you bringing it out to help you?"
"I didn't expect that the old guy could still fight back after being split by half by me! It was too late to call the black python at that time."
After Ye Liuyun took the pills, his body had recovered quite a bit. However, he was comfortable with Liang Xue hugging him, with the feeling that his back was leaning against her soft body. So he pretended that he was still recovering from the injury and did not get up.
His Indestructible Body Method had already reached the second level. His own defensive capabilities were already strong, and his injuries were not too severe. With the effects of the pill, he could now move on his own.
He estimated that Ye Tianci and the others should have returned to their families. They would soon send people to rescue them. So he was not worried that they would be attacked twice.
Even if someone really came, he still had the black python to resist for a while, so he closed his eyes and enjoyed Liang Xue's embrace.
It was not until he felt that the elders of the Ye Family were coming that he jumped up from Liang Xue's arms.
Liang Xue was shocked by him and then realized that she had been cheated by this guy. Her face turned red and hot.
However, she could not lose her temper in front of the elders of the Ye Family.
The Head of the Ye family personally brought his men here. When he saw that Ye Liuyun was fine, he immediately relaxed.
Moreover, the injured elder also took the healing pill, and there was no big deal. So they carried the elder and returned to the Ye family together.
After returning, Ye Liuyun used healing as an excuse and brought Liang Xue back to the Artifacts Hall directly.
"Can you find the Green Wolf Mercenary Team's lair?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"What do you want to do?" Liang Xue asked in confusion.
"It's impolite not to return the favor! The Governor had tried to attack me time and time again. How can I not show them my respect?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go and find out what's going on first. Wait for my news." Liang Xue also felt that the Governor did beyond measure. They did not even want to let her go.
So she immediately took out the Sound Transmission Talisman to inform the people of the Myriad Treasures Hall to investigate the Governor's power.
A few hours later, several elders of the Myriad Treasures Hall reported to Liang Xue about the Governor's forces.
The lair of the Green Wolf Mercenary Team was in a Thousand Burial Mountain outside the city. This Thousand Burial Mountain was a deposit of ore, one of the main sources of income of the Governor.
The Green Wolf Mercenary Team set up their base there and took the responsibility of guarding the ore vein.
The leader of the Green Wolf Mercenary Team was at the Fourth Level of the Genuine Condensation Phase. Currently, there were more than 50 people guarding the mine vein and the lair of the Green Wolf Mercenary Team.
One had to say, this Green Wolf Mercenary Team was an absolutely big fellow. Without the support of the Governor, they would not have been able to grow so much.
In an ordinary mercenary company, ten people were already considered a big deal!
The other forces of the Governor were all shops, making it inconvenient for Ye Liuyun and the others to make their move.
Hence, they decided to target the lair of the Green Wolf Mercenary Team. They also named this plan the Tooth Extraction Plan, meaning that they would pull out the Governor's underlings.
Liang Xue told Ye Liuyun to rest for two days before making their moves. To be on the safe side, Ye Liuyun felt that it would be safer for him to completely recover from his injuries first.
So the two agreed that they would take action at night two days later. Then, Liang Xue went back with the elders of the Myriads Treasure Hall.
