However, Ye Liuyun was unaware that the Zhou family had placed a bounty on her. Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun was not afraid, as they were just a group of cultivators at the Dao Palace and Wheel Sea realms, so there was nothing to worry about.
But before that, she had to test the sword's power and see how much force it could unleash.
Ye Liuyun found a direction and saw a lake in the distance. That place seemed quite suitable.
Chapter 416 Entering the Eastern Wilderness (4500 words + 2300 monthly votes bonus chapter)
After Ye Liuyun flew to the edge of the lake and landed, he looked around to make sure there were no other cultivators nearby. Then he drew his Ice Soul Sword and swung it at the sizable lake in front of him.
The next moment, a monstrous cold current erupted from the sword, spreading like waves towards Ye Liuyun's front, freezing everything in its path in an instant.
This power is incredible. Even Ye Liuyun herself was shocked, because she didn't use a single bit of her own power. This sword strike was purely Bingpo's own power, or rather, the power extracted from Long Lingyun.
"Damn it? My power was released uncontrollably?" Long Lingyun, trapped in the Ice Soul, panicked immediately after feeling her power being drained.
It wasn't just turned into a sword; now, she couldn't even control her own power. Although the sword strike hadn't drained much of her strength, it still made her very unhappy.
"My God, this power could probably freeze even cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm with ease!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed in surprise.
"Your pill is quite interesting. The power released from this sword is not your power, but purely the power of this little white snake," Lin Qingyou said with a smile.
Ye Liuyun grew to love the sword more and more; she felt that she should treat it like a lover.
"However, how should one control the power of this sword?" With that, Ye Liuyun unleashed another sword strike, this time emitting a beam of sword light that fell into the forest, freezing the entire area.
But then, the ice crystals shattered, turning the flowers, grass, and trees into ice shards.
"Releasing the power of this sword seems to be related to my will. However, such power is at most comparable to the power of the Divine Form Realm of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. I cannot release any stronger power." Ye Liuyun was somewhat puzzled.
“I think it’s related to the little snake in the sword. After all, the power comes from her. If she were willing to output more power, she should be able to unleash stronger sword moves,” Lin Qingyou said.
Indeed, Long Lingyun was suppressing her lost power at this moment. She might not be able to stop Ye Liuyun from taking away her power, but she could suppress the loss of even more power. In this way, Ye Liuyun would not be able to unleash a stronger attack.
"You want to use my power at will? No way! I won't let you have your way," Long Lingyun said with dissatisfaction.
After learning about the sword's power, Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied. At least it wasn't like Fuxue, which she could only use as a hard object and couldn't utilize the power contained within the sword.
"Alright, that's about enough. This Ice Soul can serve as my usual weapon," Ye Liuyun said with a satisfied smile.
After saying that, she set off again, and about half a day later, she finally arrived at the edge of the Southern Wilderness State and the Heavenly Ridge.
"Ah! We've finally arrived. This should be the Southern Wilderness State of the Eastern Wilderness." Ye Liuyun looked ahead and saw that the mountains were no longer towering. Although it was still a mountainous area, the terrain was obviously much lower than that of Nanling.
Ye Liuyun had learned about the Eastern Wilderness; it was mainly plains and hilly areas, with not many mountains.
Just as Ye Liuyun was looking for a place to fly over, Lin Qingyou reminded him.
“Little girl, you can’t get through here. There’s a powerful barrier set up by someone. You can only get through through the entrance of the barrier.”
These words stunned Ye Liuyun. She quickly picked up the stone and threw it at the air barrier in front of her. Sure enough, a ripple appeared.
"Hey? That's quite a move, such a large-scale restriction?" Ye Liuyun was somewhat surprised.
"This is probably used to demarcate the cultivator area. It doesn't completely prohibit cultivators from passing through, but they need to enter from a designated location. I sensed it, and there seems to be a large entrance over there. Those cultivators who enter the Heavenly Broken Ridge should all enter and exit from that entrance." Lin Qingyou pointed out a location to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun smiled when he heard this.
"Oh, having Master here is so convenient, you're practically a magic toolbox," Ye Liuyun praised Lin Qingyou.
Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes, I've become a tool, sigh!" Lin Qingyou sighed.
Ye Liuyun chuckled and then headed towards the location Lin Qingyou had indicated.
However, after arriving at the location Lin Qingyou had described, Ye Liuyun realized that something was amiss. To enter the Eastern Wilderness, one had to pass through a long canyon corridor. No cultivators entered or exited from other places; everyone had to go through this place.
But at this moment, at the end of the canyon, a large number of fierce-looking cultivators were interrogating passersby, especially female cultivators.
"What do you want? We are not the people you are looking for." Several beautiful female cultivators who were traveling together were stopped by a group of cultivators before they even crossed the passage.
This area is almost entirely controlled by the cultivation forces of Xilin City, and the Zhou family is one of the strongest families in Xilin City. Not long ago, the Zhou family asked the other three families to help them find Ye Liuyun, promising them many benefits if they found the target.
So now, the entrance and exit area is full of people from the four major families. As long as they see a female cultivator trying to leave this place, they will arrest her. Of course, they only arrest those without status.
Anyone without a legitimate identity in the Eastern Wilderness, regardless of gender, should be arrested first, since the target might disguise themselves as a man to enter the Eastern Wilderness.
This place is the only passage for cultivators between the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Ridge. There is no other way to pass through; if you want to pass through here, you have to take the mortal passage.
"Nothing much. The four major families of Xilin City are arresting criminals who have offended us. You must undergo questioning and show us your identification. Those without legitimate identities in the Eastern Wilderness will remain here for now," a disciple of the four major families said domineeringly.
Legitimate identity means which sect or family one belongs to. Generally, as long as one is a disciple of a powerful organization, even if it is from a weak family, they will have a token.
Those without tokens are usually independent cultivators or cultivators from the Southern Ridge.
However, this area is mostly frequented by cultivators from the Southern Wilderness State, and cultivators from the Southern Ridge are not commonly seen.
"This? What token do we rogue cultivators in the Southern Wilderness have?" The female rogue cultivators looked quite unpleasant.
But there's nothing we can do. Since there's no physical evidence, we can only wait for someone to identify it.
"Then I'm sorry, but please wait over there." The disciples of the four major families went to shoo them away.
At the entrance and exit, dozens of female cultivators and some male cultivators without identification were being detained.
However, after checking them, the male monks were confirmed to be genuine and were released.
Not only that, these people also held up portraits and asked passersby if they had seen this person. Ye Liuyun used his divine sense from a distance and found that the person in the portrait was her, lifelike as if it were a photograph.
"Hey? Oh, I see. It must be the Zhou family young master's forces that I turned into a pig looking for me. But look at your level, you don't even have a Four Extremes Secret Realm, yet you dare to act as road bullies." Ye Liuyun walked over openly without thinking.
The main problem is that these people are too weak. If there were cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm guarding the area, she might have been more cautious.
Of course, the main reason is that so many female cultivators were detained there, which must have been caused by her. She certainly had many ways to evade capture, but she would definitely harm these innocent cultivators. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. She shouldn't have to pay for what she did.
Ye Liuyun walked over directly with the Ice Soul Sword in hand.
Meanwhile, the cultivators who were questioning passersby with the portrait on the road soon saw Ye Liuyun.
"Hey? Look, isn't this the woman in the portrait?" The cultivators from the four major families compared the portraits in their hands with Ye Liuyun's portrait and quickly confirmed Ye Liuyun's identity.
These portraits must have been imprinted and drawn from the divine senses of the Zhou family cultivators who had seen Ye Liuyun's appearance. Since the Southern and Northern Regions possessed this method, the Eastern Wilderness must also have it.
Upon discovering Ye Liuyun, they immediately became alert. Not only that, they also notified the people at the entrance and exit. In no time, nearly a hundred cultivators approached, including several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
They surrounded Ye Liuyun.
"You're the vixen who killed the young master of the Zhou family, aren't you? You really do have a seductive look. No wonder the young master of the Zhou family was harmed by you." A middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment stage said with a cold and stern expression.
Ye Liuyun was very unhappy when he heard this. Wasn't this just turning the tables on him?
She admitted that she was quite attractive and easily attracted men's attention. After all, she had been a man herself and knew that her appearance was fatally tempting to many men with strong willpower.
But what does it have to do with her if others are lustful and lack willpower?
"Hey, watch your mouth. That's right, the young master Zhou you're talking about was the one I killed. Stop arresting people randomly and release all those female cultivators. I'm right here anyway," Ye Liuyun said with a wicked grin.
She felt that the first thing she should do upon arriving in the Eastern Wilderness was to kill someone. Killing someone with the power of this sword wouldn't be considered Ye Liuyun's doing; it would only be Long Lingyun's doing. This was like exploiting a bug.
"Hmph! A mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, yet so arrogant. I wonder how you managed to kill Zhou Kui with your sorcery. But it doesn't matter. The Zhou family asked us to play a trick on you, so you're just unlucky. Now, catch her." The middle-aged man in the Foundation Establishment stage sneered.
However, Ye Liuyun sighed heavily, feeling sorry for these guys who didn't recognize her talent. Didn't they realize that she had the ability to kill Zhou Kui? Could someone at the Sea of Wheels realm or Foundation Establishment stage possibly be her opponent?
Ye Liuyun looked at the cultivators approaching him and casually slapped them twice. The next moment, the two people let out a scream and flew up, crashing behind the four cultivators. The two of them fainted immediately, with two bright red handprints on their faces.
"Ew..." Ye Liuyun made a disgusted expression.
The cultivators from the four major families were all dumbfounded. They hadn't even seen how Ye Liuyun made his move before the two of them were sent flying.
"Damn it, she dares to resist? Let's grab her together!" Several Foundation Establishment cultivators who were leading the group shouted angrily.
Ye Liuyun sighed heavily again, then drew his Ice Soul Sword and swept it across the four groups of cultivators in all directions. The next moment, a burst of icy cold air erupted, and these hundreds of cultivators, including the few Foundation Establishment cultivators, were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
However, Ye Liuyun did not kill them directly, but simply froze them.
This scene left the surrounding passersby and cultivators utterly astonished.
"So powerful! She froze hundreds of cultivators with a single sword strike, including several Foundation Establishment cultivators. Is this fairy really a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator?" someone said in disbelief.
After freezing these guys, Ye Liuyun revealed a devilish smile to them.
"Normally, I shouldn't kill people, but unfortunately, I exploited a bug. I'm telling you, if any external force touches the ice crystals that are freezing you, they will immediately explode, shattering you all into pieces. Alright, goodbye. Tell the people behind you who want to capture me that my name is Ye Hanxue, and don't bother looking for other innocent people." Ye Liuyun said this to them, then gave a fake name and left.
The four cultivators who were frozen were terrified when they heard Ye Liuyun's words.
Under the awe-inspiring gazes of the passing cultivators, Ye Liuyun quickly passed through the inter-domain passage and officially entered the Eastern Wilderness.
Not long after Ye Liuyun left, the Zhou family and several other powerful figures from other families arrived.
When they arrived, they found that all their disciples had been frozen into ice sculptures.
"What? What's going on?" The powerful figures from the four major families tried to approach.
"No? Patriarch, don't come any closer! These ice crystals will shatter if you touch them, and we'll all be dead. It was the woman who killed Young Master Zhou Kui. She said her name is Ye Hanxue." A Foundation Establishment cultivator transmitted his voice to Patriarch Zhou and the others using his divine sense.
The Zhou family head would definitely announce to the outside world that Zhou Kui had been killed. He couldn't possibly tell outsiders that his son had been turned into a beast, could he? He had his pride too.
"Damn woman, she killed my son, harmed so many of our disciples, and even dared to leave her name. This is a blatant provocation against our four great families," the Zhou family head said angrily.
But now is not the time to dwell on this issue; they need to find a way to save the lives of these disciples.
“Since it’s an ice-attribute attack, let’s try using fire magic to see if we can melt the ice,” another family head said, frowning.
The four major families of Xilin City are the Zhou, Gao, Han, and Song families.
"If this doesn't work, then they're doomed." The head of the Gao family was very worried.
“What’s the use of worrying? If we don’t try, they’ll still die. Brother Song, you’re skilled in fire magic, use it on them. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault if anything goes wrong,” the Zhou family head gestured.
The Song family head nodded. He first used fire magic on one of the cultivators, trying to melt the ice on his body. Unfortunately, his fire power melted the ice crystals as soon as it touched them, but the cultivator was also melted without even a scream.
This was quite frightening; the powerful figures from the four major families involuntarily took a few steps back.
Reality has taught them that they cannot save these people.
The heads of the four major families looked helpless as they simultaneously greeted their disciples.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, we can't save you. Rest in peace. Don't worry, we will definitely capture that demoness and avenge you." The Zhou family head said helplessly, then raised his hand and waved it at the ice sculptures. A surge of magical power swept through, and everyone exploded into countless ice crystal fragments.
The deaths of these people were indeed not attributed to Ye Liuyun; they directly entered the cycle of reincarnation and were not sucked into the void.
"Hey! You vixen, my Zhou family will never forgive you! Chase after her!" the Zhou family head said angrily.
The heads of the other three families, seeing so many of their disciples die at once, must have also formed a deadly feud with Ye Liuyun.
They immediately notified Xilin City, asking them to send reinforcements to search for Ye Liuyun.
After entering the Eastern Wilderness, Ye Liuyun headed directly towards Xilin City.
There are definitely no cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in this place, and it's estimated that there aren't even any particularly powerful cultivators at the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Therefore, there is almost no threat to Ye Liuyun.
With the power of this Ice Soul Sword, I can now directly attack anyone I want to kill.
Ye Liuyun's first day in the Eastern Wilderness was a baptism of slaughter, but she was already numb to it.
Chapter 417 This is arrogance (5000 words)
South Wilderness State, outside West Forest City.
After Ye Liuyun killed those who blocked his way, he summoned Black Bull and Fan Ling as soon as he entered the Eastern Wilderness, and also let Bai Lin and Jin Chen come out for some fresh air.
Sure enough, Ye Liuyun and Fan Ling each carried one as they walked towards Xilin City.
Why did she suddenly release those two? Wasn't she afraid of revealing their identities?
Actually, Ye Liuyun mainly discovered that the cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness Region seemed to prefer keeping pets.
At least half of the cultivators along the way were accompanied by demonic beast mounts and pets. This seemed to be quite common, as even those at the Sea of Wheels realm could afford to keep pets.
This shows that in the Eastern Wilderness, cultivators prefer to fight alongside their pets.
This is also a form of combat; some cultivators in Nanling also do this.
However, beast tamers don't seem to be particularly popular in the Southern Ridge, or rather, monster pets aren't widely available, but they are quite common in the Eastern Wilderness.
So, looking around, no one found it strange to see all sorts of odd pets following their owners.
Since pets are not uncommon in the Eastern Wilderness, Ye Liuyun can now openly release Bai Lin and Jin Chen.
These two little guys, however, looked just like two ordinary tiger cubs that had just been born, chubby and seemingly lacking any fighting strength.
And almost a hundred years have passed, yet they are still in their childhood. Of course, this is probably related to the seal on their bodies.
Furthermore, a hundred-year-old demon beast is indeed not considered an adult, because Bai Lin and the others are born demon beasts, with Dao Palace cultivation from birth.
