Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"How is this possible, Senior Brother Zhang?" The group had no time to deal with Fang Li and the others, and quickly went to the Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator who had been shot down.

This cultivator from Fire Cloud Peak, who was at the third level of the Dao Palace, had not lost his fighting ability. He struggled to climb out of the pit and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

Ye Liuyun's palm strike may not have directly rendered him unable to fight, but it had certainly dealt him a severe blow.

"Damn it, you're pretending to be weak while actually being strong, how insidious!" The young man from Fire Cloud Peak glared angrily at Ye Liuyun.

He had initially thought his opponent was only at the Spirit Stream Realm, but that palm strike just now told him that it was enough to injure a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator, or at least someone at the Dao Palace Level 2.

"Tch! You want to steal my stuff, so why are you talking about how cunning and treacherous it is? Senior brother, please take out your demon-catching bag. You've already suffered serious injuries. If you don't want to be eliminated, you'll have to hand over the stuff." Pei Qian stretched out her hand and demanded.

The young man knew that he was seriously injured and definitely couldn't beat his opponent. If he continued fighting, he would probably be eliminated. It would be better to hand over the items first, then find a place to heal his wounds, and maybe he would still have a chance.

"Damn it, we still have four fighters left. Who said we lost?" The group said, about to retaliate.

However, he was stopped by this cultivator at the third level of the Dao Palace.

"Fine, we'll accept our fate and give it to them." This cultivator at the third level of the Dao Palace didn't want the other four members of his team to get injured as well. If they were all injured, they would have no hope.

These people looked grim, but at their senior brother's prompting, they still took out their demon-catching bags.

It's not that they're cowardly, but rather that they have to consider the stakes involved.

Pei Qian and the others took the demon-catching bags from these people, collected all the demonic beasts inside, and then returned the bags to them.

"Alright, you can leave now," Pei Qian said.

The group reluctantly helped their injured companion up and quickly left.

After they left, Ye Liuyun smiled.

"These guys really think I'm an easy target. It's hilarious. I didn't even get to steal anything, and I got robbed instead," Ye Liuyun said.

But Pei Qian quickly said...

"Junior Sister Ye, let's get out of here quickly. Knowing these guys as I do, they might call for reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun understood what Pei Qian meant, so he quickly followed Pei Qian and left the place.

Less than ten minutes after they left, sure enough, the same group of people arrived with another team of Fire Cloud Peak disciples.

"Hey? They're not here anymore. They probably guessed we'd call for help. We have to find them!" said the Fire Cloud Peak disciple whose prey had been stolen by Ye Liuyun and his group anxiously.

The other team of Fire Cloud Peak cultivators also had a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator, who was stronger than the young man from before.

There are only a few core disciples in a faction, and they generally have good relationships with each other. In addition, since this is internal competition within the sect, mutual assistance is a given.

They began a thorough search for Ye Liuyun and his group, while Ye Liuyun and his companions found a secluded spot and set up an array to hide.

"Should we call for help too?" Fang Li suggested.

However, Pei Qian hesitated for a moment and then shook her head.

“These people aren’t helping us for no reason. If they find us, they’ll definitely want a share of our prey. And if we call for help, our fellow disciples will definitely demand that we hand over some of our spoils. I think it’s not worth it. What do you think, Junior Sister Ye?” Pei Qian asked Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun refused without even thinking about it.

"Forget it, I have no interest in handing over what I've eaten. Aren't these guys going to cause trouble anyway? Let's just treat them as prey. If you like Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa, then let's treat them like dungeons to grind." Ye Liuyun said viciously.

Although Pei Qian and the others did not understand the meaning of Ye Liuyun's last two sentences, they still immediately understood what Ye Liuyun meant. Their previous methods could deal with demonic beasts, so they could naturally deal with these guys as well.

And these guys definitely have even more stuff on them.

"Got it, so who will be the bait?" Pei Qian asked.

---------------------------------

Ye Liuyun is naturally the most suitable person to be the bait.

"I'll do it. I have some special pills that, when used together, might produce amazing results. You guys stay hidden for now, and come out after I've dealt with them," Ye Liuyun volunteered.

Pei Qian and the others didn't say anything more when they saw Ye Liuyun say that.

After making some preparations, Ye Liuyun left the formation area alone and deliberately approached the guys from Fire Cloud Peak.

"Tsk tsk, these pills are no fun against demonic beasts, they're much more interesting against humans." Ye Liuyun swallowed several electric shock pills and a flash pill in one go.

With the divine sense of the Dao Palace cultivators, Ye Liuyun's appearance was quickly detected.

As expected, less than a minute after Ye Liuyun appeared, he sensed cultivators approaching from all sides, and these people quickly surrounded Ye Liuyun in an area.

"It's you? Why are you alone? Where are your companions?" The group of Fire Cloud Peak disciples, whose prey had been snatched away by Ye Liuyun and his group, angrily questioned Ye Liuyun.

While questioning them, they also quickly looked around to prevent any ambush.

The two injured people in this group did not come. A total of ten people came, led by a core disciple of Huoyun Peak who was at the mid-stage of the Dao Palace level.

"Oh, we just got together temporarily. We split up after dividing the prey, and I don't know where they went," Ye Liuyun replied "honestly."

Upon hearing this, the group of people were taken aback; they didn't believe Ye Liuyun's nonsense.

"Senior Brother Wu, stop wasting time talking to her, just arrest her first," one of them said.

Senior Brother Wu nodded, then gestured to a junior sister beside him.

Upon seeing this, the female disciple immediately moved closer and easily cast a spell to immobilize Ye Liuyun.

"Didn't you say this woman was hiding her abilities? But upon closer inspection, she's definitely only at the Spirit Stream Realm." After Ye Liuyun was frozen in place, the group approached her and asked curiously.

They probably thought Ye Liuyun was out of danger, but in reality, the moment they got close, they were already doomed.

"Yes, he's just a lowly Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. Senior brothers, you're really giving me too much credit for having so many people here all at once," Ye Liuyun said, feigning speechlessness.

"Hmph! Where's the demon-catching bag? And where are the others? Don't tell me you don't know. You're so beautiful, I can't bear to hurt you, but if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rough with you." The Fire Cloud Peak cultivator at the third level of the Dao Palace sneered.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Alright, alright, I'll pay, okay? Seriously, release me from this immobilization. With so many of you, do you think I, a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, can escape?" Ye Liuyun gestured.

After thinking for a moment, the leading Dao Palace level three cultivator nodded and casually released Ye Liuyun's immobilization spell.

From his perspective, there was indeed no need to worry about Ye Liuyun running away, given the vast difference in their abilities.

But the moment they were freed from their immobilization, Ye Liuyun uttered the word "explode".

As Ye Liuyun activated the pill, blinding white light instantly engulfed the ten of them, and this white light was also filled with a large amount of electric current.

"Oh no!" someone exclaimed.

It's a pity the reminder came too late.

"Ah...ah..." The ten seniors were deprived of their sight, and then screamed in agony as they were electrocuted at the same time.

Ye Liuyun is really steady. He used the Flash Pill to blind them, and then released the power of the Electric Shock Pill at the same time. This combo would be enough to give even a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator a hard time.

After the white light and electric current lasted for a while, the power gradually dissipated. Ye Liuyun looked at the convulsing people lying on the ground with a sinister expression and spoke.

"Fellow senior brothers of Fire Cloud Peak, I'm sorry, but this is not my fault. You brought it on yourselves."

However, the cultivator at the third level of the Dao Palace actually withstood the attack of the lightning power and, with difficult steps, rushed towards Ye Liuyun.

"My eyes! I'm going to kill you!" This cultivator from the Fire Cloud Peak, who was at the third level of the Dao Palace, thought he had gone blind. He frantically lunged at Ye Liuyun.

However, his body was limp from the electric shock, so he had no extra strength to attack Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun saw him rushing over and kicked him away.

"Don't act like you're the ones being bullied. Don't forget, it was your Fire Cloud Peak people who came to steal our things first. We didn't start any trouble, understand?" Ye Liuyun kicked the guy away and complained.

Not long after, Pei Qian and the others arrived; Ye Liuyun had notified them to come.

"What?" The group stared at the convulsing Fire Cloud Peak disciple, unsure of what to say.

"Senior Sister Pei, don't lock them up. Take away their prey. Since it's allowed to steal other people's prey, what's there to be afraid of?" Ye Liuyun said.

Pei Qian and the others didn't really want to escalate the situation, but now it was difficult to ease tensions.

So they went all the way and took all their prey.

"Damn it, my prey, you lot are finished! How dare you offend Fire Cloud Peak like this? We Fire Cloud Peak will not let you get away with this!" Someone threatened Pei Qian and the others angrily after their eyesight recovered.

But Ye Liuyun had no desire to listen to this guy's threats.

So Ye Liuyun went up and kicked the guy, the powerful force sending him flying out of sight in one breath.

Don't worry, Ye Liuyun's kick only had pushing force, not killing power. Their bodies were just numb, not injured, and they could withstand the impact of landing.

"Enough with the nonsense. Get out of here, and all of you."

Regardless of whether they were men or women, Ye Liuyun kicked them all away with a single kick.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's violent behavior, Pei Qian and the others all showed fear. They hadn't expected that the seemingly gentle and weak Ye Liuyun would be so ruthless.

Ye Liuyun's actions were almost entirely observed by the higher-ups of the Yun Sect.

The main hall of the sect finally became lively, and Huo Ling was furious when he saw this.

"How could Ye Liuyu be so insidious? What kind of methods are these? He never engages in direct combat; he relies entirely on underhanded tactics," Huo Ling complained angrily.

But Su Ying was unhappy with her complaint.

“Senior Sister Huoling, I’m not happy with what you said. It was your disciple who caused trouble, got a lesson in return, and even had his prey stolen. How can you blame my disciple for being treacherous? Does it mean that our Caiyun Peak disciples are not treacherous if their prey is stolen by your Huoyun Peak?” Su Ying retorted.

"You? Is that what I meant? Junior Sister Su, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that this little girl's methods are too insidious and not at all righteous," Huo Ling corrected.

"Unorthodox? Does the right way have to be to defeat the strong with the weak? If your disciples were weaker than our Caiyun Peak disciples, would you say that? Aren't you just upset that your disciples were tricked?" Su Ying mocked sharply.

Although Fire Spirit was very dissatisfied, she also knew that she was in the wrong, so as she spoke, she lost her confidence.

Chapter 286 Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa (5000 words)

The higher-ups of the Yun Sect began to pay more and more attention to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun and his group dealt with the group from Huoyun Peak, they immediately moved on to another location.

There's no way to kill them; they'll definitely come back again. This is actually a kind of training experience.

This kind of "Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather" behavior is too common in large-scale multi-faction competitions. If it were a life-or-death battle, it would be fine to kill people and reduce trouble. But if killing is not allowed, then it's very frustrating.

I'm afraid even more people will be looking for them later.

Sure enough, the people who had been kicked away by Ye Liuyun quickly gathered together. They hadn't been hurt at all, and once the electric current and numbness disappeared, they were back to normal.

"Damn it! That wretched woman used such insidious methods against us and stole all our prey. We only have a few days left. How can we possibly catch any more?" The Fire Cloud Peak disciple, a third-level Dao Palace cultivator, said angrily.

The other disciples of Fire Cloud Peak were speechless, but they learned their lesson this time and would definitely not fall for the same trick again next time.

"There's no other way, let's keep calling for help," another person said.

As long as they can snatch their prey back from the other side, they'll have it all under control. They've already calculated it all in their minds, so instead of spending time retrieving it, they might as well capture Ye Liuyun and his group.

Catching monsters in the following days will be several times more difficult than in the previous days; starting from scratch is simply impossible.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his group were already distributing their prey in a secluded spot. This time, the prey they had obtained was incredibly plentiful. As before, Ye Liuyun took half, and the other half was divided among the five of them.

"I think we shouldn't distribute them yet. Actually, we just need to make sure we're in the top 1000. We can see if there are any other teams that are short of points later. That way, we can give them more spots to Caiyun Peak," Ye Liuyun suggested.

The others were taken aback when these words were spoken.

"This? Is this appropriate?" Pei Qian and the others exchanged glances and asked doubtfully.

"I don't see any problem. Do you guys want to compete for the top spots?" Ye Liuyun asked back.

The highest rewards in the Beast Hunting Tournament are for the top 100, and these top 100 spots will definitely be taken by the top disciples from each peak. If these unknown individuals steal the limelight, they will certainly become the target of everyone's criticism.

Pei Qian and the others understood Ye Liuyun's meaning. He wanted to use the prey to make more friends, so that more disciples from Caiyun Peak could enter the sect conference, which would be beneficial to all the disciples of Caiyun Peak.

“Alright, since Junior Sister Ye has said so, I think it’s feasible. Let’s consider it a contribution to our Caiyun Peak. However, Junior Sister Ye, we have offended two core disciples of Caiyun Peak this time. They will not let this go easily. Should we go somewhere else?” Pei Qian asked.

Ye Liuyun grinned.

"No need, I have plenty of ways to deal with them. If they send more people, no matter how many they send, we'll make sure they all perish. But after our previous experience, they probably won't get close to us so easily. We need to think of another way," Ye Liuyun pondered.

Pei Qian and the others didn't have as many ideas as Ye Liuyun, so they could only follow Ye Liuyun's arrangements in this matter. However, this time, Ye Liuyun also needed Pei Qian and the others' assistance, as it would be too time-consuming for her to make arrangements by herself alone.

With the help of the two Dao Palace Level 3 cultivators from Huoyun Peak, another group of people arrived at their temporary camp an hour later. Including the previous twelve people, there were at least eighteen people here.

Moreover, this time the trouble is even greater, because the leader of the group is a Dao Palace level 4 early stage cultivator who is no less powerful than Yun Yun.

Because the number of direct disciples and sect seed positions is limited, some people whose strength has reached the fourth level of the Dao Palace can only become core disciples at most.

The person who came was Liu Yanli, a core disciple of Huoyun Peak, a tall and proud woman.

"Hmph! You lot have really disgraced Fire Cloud Peak." After arriving, Liu Yanli looked at the two Fire Cloud Peak disciples at the third level of the Dao Palace and said sarcastically.

In cultivation sects, strength is paramount. Although this woman is a core disciple just like them, their cultivation levels are not comparable.

"Senior Sister Liu, their methods are too insidious. We've almost all fallen for their tricks and been tricked," the two Dao Palace Level 3 youths said awkwardly.
