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

"Damn it, you made me suffer such a huge loss. Just wait, you'll get what's coming to you." As Ye Liuyun moved away from them, he also decided to find an opportunity to teach these guys a lesson. They were truly shameless.

Seeing that the matter was over, Yun Zong stopped paying attention to it.

"Senior Sister Huoling, it seems you'll have to find a way to educate your disciples when you get back. How can they be so shameless? Are they still righteous cultivators?" Even the Lord of Thundercloud Peak couldn't stand it anymore.

"This...maybe...maybe there really are a few missing demonic beasts," Fire Spirit stammered, but the more she spoke, the less confident she became.

Everyone else just smiled and remained silent, all looking at Huo Ling with mockery. Huo Ling was furious. She decided that after the Demon Hunting Tournament, she would definitely teach these guys a lesson.

About half an hour later, Ye Liuyun walked out of the entrance to Cuiping Mountain with a gloomy face. This time she was really angry.

As soon as Ye Liuyun came out, Pei Qian and the others, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, quickly came over.

"Hey? Junior Sister Ye is out. Are you alright, Junior Sister Ye?"

Seeing the concerned looks on Pei Qian's and the others' faces, Ye Liuyun quickly put away his unhappy expression.

"Well, my sister still has some influence. The items are safe, here's your demon-catching bag." Ye Liuyun returned their demon-catching bag to them.

The group quickly checked and found that not a single monster was missing. By protecting their prey, they could advance in their level even if they didn't catch any monsters in the next few days.

"Ah! My heart is finally at ease. That's great! Those guys are shameless. I think it's necessary to tell the sect's senior sisters to deal with them. We, the disciples of Caiyun Peak, can't be bullied by the disciples of Huoyun Peak for nothing!" Pei Qian and the others said indignantly.

However, Ye Liuyun already had an idea.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I think that's enough. I'm going to go find my sister." Ye Liuyun decided to find an excuse to part ways with Pei Qian and the others.

Of course, Ye Liuyun wasn't actually going to find Lin Aoxue, but rather to figure out how to deal with those people from earlier. Based on her understanding of Liu Yanli, she was certain that Liu Yanli was only there to resolve their troubles and wouldn't stay inside indefinitely.

"Huh? This? Oh well! That's fine too. We think it's about time, and we're planning to hand in the mission." Pei Qian and the others had no other choice when they saw Ye Liuyun.

Having barely managed to protect their prey, they didn't want to cause any more trouble. After all, if the people of Fire Cloud Peak held a grudge, they wouldn't be so lucky next time.

"Well, see you at our sect gathering. Sisters, I'll take my leave now." Ye Liuyun smiled, then called Liusu over, flew into the sky, and disappeared from their sight.

There were no array formations monitoring the outer area, so the higher-ups of the Yun Sect couldn't see her.

"Hey! Sisters, let's turn in our quests too." Pei Qian watched Ye Liuyun leave, then led Fang Li and the others to turn in their quests.

The five arrived at the mission point, where an elder was delivering messages; this elder was from their own Rainbow Cloud Peak.

"Elder Hong, we're handing in the mission." Pei Qian and the others bowed to the female elder before them and then said.

The man with the long red face stared at the group for a moment, then paused, looking at them in surprise.

"The mission is due so soon, and there are still several days left. Shouldn't you put in a little more effort?" Elder Hong asked doubtfully.

Pei Qian and the others felt slightly awkward.

"Well, our team had a conflict with the people from Huoyun Peak, and we're worried they might retaliate, so it's better to hand in the mission early to avoid losing our prey in the next few days," Pei Qian explained.

Elder Hong thought about it for a moment, then nodded, agreeing that their approach was correct.

"Alright then." Elder Hong took the demon-catching bags from the five people and examined them, but she was stunned upon seeing them.

"This? So many? You guys?" Elder Hong looked at the number of demonic beasts inside, his face full of disbelief.

Pei Qian and the others chuckled; the number of monsters in their monster-catching bags was definitely enough.

As the five completed their missions, all the tokens of the Yun Sect disciples immediately began to flash, indicating that the sect had sent a message to everyone.

When they activated the token, they saw a leaderboard.

First place Pei Qian: 5 mid-stage Dao Palace, 16 early-stage Dao Palace, 30 peak-stage Wheel Sea, 56 late-stage Wheel Sea, 88 mid-stage Wheel Sea, 104 early-stage Wheel Sea, totaling 716 points.

Second place: Fang Li, 710 points.

Third place: Gu Yinglan, 696 points

Fourth place: Meng Liang, 675 points

Fifth place: Mei Suqing, 667 points.

These people were stunned when they saw Pei Qian and the others' scores.

"What the heck? Is this some kind of cheating? I don't recognize any of these people. Are they disciples of Caiyun Peak? It's only been a few days, and they've already killed and captured so many demonic beasts?" The disciples from various factions found it all incredibly unbelievable.

Especially the Huoyun Peak disciples who had a conflict with Pei Qian and the others not long ago.

"Damn, these women actually captured so many monsters? Damn it, if we had taken advantage of the situation and snatched all their prey, we would have definitely advanced to the sect tournament. Liu Yanli is too arrogant. This is a competition, we don't need to worry about offending anyone." The twelve people said with disappointment.

As for Liu Yanli, although she was somewhat surprised when she saw it, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

Having someone submit their task in advance means there's a reference point. Whether you can get into the top 1000 depends on Pei Qian and the others' rankings. Just be higher than them or close to them.

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

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, after Pei Qian and the others handed in their mission, Ye Liuyun returned to the entrance of Cuiping Mountain.

However, Ye Liuyun disguised himself before going in.

"What are you planning to do?" Lin Qingyou asked curiously.

"I definitely need to teach these guys a lesson. Master, please shield me from the array's detection." Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Qingyou nodded. She enveloped Ye Liuyun with her own aura, so that the formation would not be able to detect Ye Liuyun's whereabouts in this area, and the higher-ups of the Yun Sect would also be unable to find Ye Liuyun through the formation.

In this way, Ye Liuyun disappeared from the surveillance array.

At the same time, Lin Qingyou easily located the positions of those people. The two teams had already separated, making it much easier to deal with them than before.

Ye Liuyun first walked towards one of the teams, because their leader was injured and had not yet recovered. He was meditating and healing in a secluded area, so it was most appropriate to start with them.

With Pei Qian and the others around, Ye Liuyun couldn't go all out because she didn't care, but Pei Qian and the others couldn't withstand it.

"Senior Brother Fang, will your injury be healed by tomorrow?" a team member asked.

"Tomorrow, it should be about 70% recovered. Damn it, that Ye Liuyu really went all out, but at least I managed to save my prey." The man surnamed Fang said angrily.

While they were talking, Ye Liuyun had already arrived outside their camp. Because of Lin Qingyou's aura blocking their view, these people were completely unaware of Ye Liuyun's approach.

"Hmph! You bunch of trash, I'll treat you to a family bucket of KFC." Ye Liuyun threw a high-concentration smoke pill into the cave where their camp was located.

This pill simply releases smoke, and it's a very unpleasant kind of smoke.

As the smoke bomb exploded in the cave, thick smoke filled the entire cave in one go.

"Oh no, cough cough cough, damn it, enemy attack!" The group immediately realized what was happening and tried to get out.

However, Ye Liuyun then threw in another pill, this time a sonic boom pill. In the narrow space of the cave, the effects of these pills would be even better.

"Boom!" The ear-piercing sound of the sonic boom pill made the ears of the six people ring loudly, causing them to lose their senses for a short time.

"Next, Thunderstorm Pills." Ye Liuyun used all the combat pills he could find on these guys, as long as they weren't killed.

These guys were completely stunned by the explosion. Although they immediately set up a magical defense, the space was too small to hold them in place.

About a minute later, the first person came running out, covered in dust and dirt. After rushing out of the cave, he lay on the ground and vomited violently, all from the shock.

But before he could even catch his breath after running out, he was hit hard on the head and lost consciousness on the spot.

It must have been Ye Liuyun who did it; she was just standing here waiting for him to come to her.

Soon, more people came out, but as soon as they appeared, they fell dead, without even figuring out who had attacked them.

Soon, the six people were lying neatly in front of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at them with a ruthless expression. First, he took away their meager prey, then he took away their storage magic treasures, and finally he threw them back into the cave one by one before leaving.

"Consider yourselves lucky. If you weren't from the same sect, you'd be in big trouble."

After dealing with those few people, Ye Liuyun immediately went to another group of people, the area where the man surnamed Wu was located.

However, this group of men surnamed Wu was not so easy to deal with. After all, none of them were injured, and they were still in the demon-hunting stage, so the area they were in was not suitable for attacking them with pills.

Ye Liuyun could only follow them secretly, waiting for an opportunity. Being remembered by Ye Liuyun was not a good thing.

As for the group of men surnamed Fang, they gradually woke up, only to find that they had been robbed.

Aside from the clothes on my body, everything else was looted.

"Ah...who is it? Who is it that ambushed me? Show yourself!" This time, the losses were much greater than last time. Apart from the demon-catching bag, everything of value on them had been taken away, and they were now penniless.

They were all frantically searching for people, but they didn't even know what the attackers looked like, so how could they find them?

However, they instinctively felt that it was Ye Liuyun and his group who did it, since they had only recently become enemies with them, and Ye Liuyun and his group were the most suspicious.

The problem is that Pei Qian and her group have already completed their mission, and according to the rules, they can no longer enter the nine training grounds.

So it's also possible that other teams attacked them while they weren't paying attention.

Left with no other choice, the six were forced to pick up their identity tokens and admit defeat. At the same time, they called out to the patrol elder, saying that they could not advance, but they had to get their treasure back.

As they relayed the message to the patrolling elder, a woman soon descended from the sky and landed in front of the six of them; she was an elder from Caiyun Peak.

When the elder of Caiyun Peak arrived and saw that it was these guys, she was already very annoyed with them, since they were bullying the disciples of Caiyun Peak by abusing their power. However, she had no choice but to endure it due to the rules.

"Why did you summon me here?" Elder Caiyun Peak asked with an unfriendly expression.

These people knew that Elder Caiyun Peak wouldn't give them a friendly look, but the matter was urgent and they couldn't care less about that now.

"Elder, we were attacked not long ago. The attackers took our demon-catching bags," the man surnamed Fang said anxiously.

However, Elder Caiyunfeng immediately rolled his eyes.

"So what if they took it? This is a competition. According to the rules, they can take your prey." Elder Caiyunfeng complained.

"However, this person also took our storage magic treasures while he was at it," the man surnamed Fang said with a mournful face.

Elder Caiyunfeng was puzzled.

"Is that so? Did you see clearly who it was?" Elder Caiyunfeng asked.

This kind of behavior is not allowed during the competition, so even if we are dissatisfied with these people, we still have to investigate.

"No, we were resting in the camp when we were suddenly attacked. We didn't even see who the attackers were before we were all beaten with sticks," the man surnamed Fang said, scratching his head.

Upon hearing this, Elder Caiyunfeng quickly took out his token and inquired with the elder in charge of the formation.

Upon receiving the message, the elder in charge of the array control room immediately used his abilities to begin rewinding the images of the area where the six people were attacked.

"What? What's going on? Why can't we see the people who attacked this team? What method is used to conceal the array's detection?" the elder said in astonishment.

She did see the group being attacked, but the problem was that the formation didn't show the person's appearance, which was awkward.

Since it couldn't be displayed, there was nothing she could do but send the message back.

Elder Caiyun Peak was stunned when he received the news.

"This? You lot, I may have some bad news to tell you. The person who attacked you used some kind of invisibility technique. The surveillance array cannot see his figure, which means we have no way of knowing who attacked you," the patrol elder of Cuiping Mountain said helplessly.

The man surnamed Fang and his companions were dumbfounded.

"What? How could this be? Elder, you must stand up for us! Although we stole the prey of your Caiyun Peak disciples, we didn't break any rules. But someone stole our personal belongings, which is against the rules! All our possessions are in there!" The group broke down on the spot.

But if she doesn't know who it is, how can she find the person?

"Who do you think it could be?" the patrol elder asked.

Because this feels a bit like revenge from fellow disciples, it's impossible for outside cultivators to come in; it must be participants from other factions.

"This? I think Ye Liuyu from your Caiyun Peak is the most suspicious." After thinking for a moment, the man surnamed Fang gave an answer.

However, these words displeased the patrol elder of Caiyun Peak.

"Reasons, evidence? Although Ye Liuyun is a cultivator, she shouldn't be capable of attacking all six of you by herself, let alone evading the surveillance array. Does she have such abilities?" Elder Caiyun Peak questioned.

These words left the man surnamed Fang and his companion speechless. Without proof, how could anyone believe them?

Chapter 288 Mushroom Forest (4500 words)

Even if they knew it was Ye Liuyun who did it, Yunzong probably wouldn't do anything to Ye Liuyun.

Because Ye Liuyun is more of a guest of honor of the Yun Sect than a disciple of the Yun Sect.

"I... this disciple is just guessing. After all, this woman's methods are very strange, and she has had a conflict with us. She is obviously the most suspicious. If we find her, wouldn't it be enough to search her?"

The man surnamed Fang knew that his accusation wasn't very convincing, but he felt that it was most likely Ye Liuyun who did it. If he could find Ye Liuyun, he might be able to confirm it.

The patrolling elder fell into deep thought. Ye Liuyun's identity was rather special, and she couldn't make the decision on her own, so she could only consult the sect first.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the sect for their opinion," the patrol elder gestured.

But the words she uttered left the group bewildered. Even if she was Lin Aoxue's sister, shouldn't she be punished for violating the sect rules? Why did the elders of Caiyun Peak have no right to make decisions for a mere inner disciple of Caiyun Peak?

If it were any other disciple, it would have been a simple matter of a word.
