Before long, the Snow Wolf and the two Demon Flood Dragons hurried back, both bearing injuries.

Ye Liuyun had arranged for the Snow Wolf and the two Demon Flood Dragons to scout ahead and find the path out of the secret realm first, which was why he hadn’t rushed to collect the source power.

Now seeing them return injured, he immediately guessed that there must be powerful enemies blocking their retreat.

"Boss, past the back gate of the palace, there are two great mountains. The passage between them is the way out, but there are many ferocious beasts on both mountains with very high cultivation realms. We couldn’t defeat them!"

The Snow Wolf shouted toward Ye Liuyun from afar.

"Did they follow you?" Ye Liuyun also asked the Snow Wolf.

His divine sense was inside the palace and hadn’t detected any ferocious beasts entering.

"That they didn’t. But they’re guarding that area. If we want to get out, we’ll probably have to pay a heavy price," the Snow Wolf reported.

"How many are there?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"The exact number isn’t clear, but there were more than ten ferocious beasts that intercepted us, and all of them were at peak ninth level," one of the Demon Flood Dragons added.

"You all go back and rest. I’ll handle it shortly!"

Ye Liuyun wasn’t anxious either. He first put them into his spatial world to let them return for healing and rest. Then he continued roasting meat while waiting for other martial cultivators to return.

Those martial cultivators also came back one after another. There weren’t any particularly good resources left in remaining areas of the palace. Although they had collected quite a few things as well, what was most valuable were still some void-grade armor and weapons from those golden-armored guards.

Ye Liuyun also called back those ten martial cultivators who had been guarding at palace entrance. His divine sense had already scanned through—the secret realm no longer had any other martial cultivators; they had all been ambushed and killed at palace entrance by these people.

He let every martial cultivator pick one set of void-grade armor and weapon each, then sent them into First Clone’s spatial world to let them recover quickly and prepare to fight again.

"If they’re all peak ninth level experts, can these people handle it?" Luo Yu asked worriedly.

"They definitely won’t be a match. But I have a way—you don’t need to act when time comes. Just let Demon Wolf and that metal puppet beast protect you." Ye Liuyun made arrangements for Luo Yu.

As soon as he mentioned metal puppet beast, Luo Yu thought of nine golden dragon puppet beasts in Ye Liuyun’s possession so she stopped worrying anymore—peacefully continuing eating roasted meat with Demon Wolf by her side.

And Ye Liuyun’s real plan was actually going use these ferocious beasts as practice targets himself since entering this secret realm—he hadn’t fought much either so his hands were itching somewhat too!

Against ferocious beasts—he could use power of bloodline which should allow him fight against these creatures head-on; perfect chance test out his condensed divine essence & guardian spirit seal after refinement process completed recently...

After demon beasts underwent improvements from Dragon Spring Liquid—they were all cultivating breakthroughs currently so Ye Liuyun didn’t disturb them either... He merely notified two clones plus Devil Vine letting come out stretch legs together...

Additionally bringing along those martial cultivators under Jiang Yunhan’s command—now less than thirty people remaining should suffice roughly speaking... If still insufficient then releasing puppets later wouldn’t be too late either...

So he simply wasn’t anxious at all instead slowly chatting eating with Luo Yu discussing future arrangements where she’d notify him come watch Fire Seal Dynasty break through void matters... Also buying more time for those martial cultivators allowing injured ones among recover combat strength as much possible...

After finishing roasted meat—they chatted awhile about that Grand Void Qi Refining Technique too...

Ye Liuyung had seen this technique before knowing according cultivation method described—quality true essence produced indeed couldn’t match what self-condensation achieved...

This technique’s true essence incorporated mysterious qi within—and meridian circulation pathways efficiency far surpassed ordinary techniques by large margin...

Ye Liu Yun felt this set techniques essentially upgraded version previously cultivated Mysterious Origin Qi Refining Technique he’d practiced before... Thus remembering Luan Ping transmitting technique through slave seal naturally adding restrictions prevent others seizing it away...

Slave seal planted back then though never actually controlled Luan Ping rather facilitating convenient contact between anytime anywhere... More importantly preventing others controlling Luan Ping instead...

Luan Ping immediately began re-cultivating new technique afterward realm advancement faster true essence becoming even more solidified compacted thereafter...

Only after numerous martial cultivators recovered sufficiently did Ye Liu Yun release clones plus Jiang Yunhan brought warriors preparing battle commence...

Then he had them strike, collapsing the throne and directly extracting the source power beneath it. He handed it to Luo Yu to carry without storing it away, which would allow the secret realm to hold on for a few more days.

"Uh... taking out the source power this early, what if we can’t get out..."

Luo Yu felt Ye Liuyun was being too reckless. If they couldn’t fight their way out within a few days, wouldn’t they all die in this secret realm?

"Don’t worry! We’ll definitely get out!"

Ye Liuyun assured her with full confidence, then led those martial cultivators toward the back courtyard of the palace. After exiting the palace, without its formation blocking his senses, his spiritual perception fully extended outward. On both sides were indeed two mountain peaks densely covered with trees. The valley between them was the only path leading out of the secret realm, and at the end of that path lay the exit.

With a quick sweep of his spiritual perception, he discovered nearly a hundred peak ninth-level ferocious beasts on both mountains.

"That’s quite a lot!"

Ye Liuyun exclaimed. He and his two avatars simultaneously drew their battle blades and led everyone forward. Devil Vine burrowed into the ground first. Luo Yu released her metallic puppet beasts and waited in place with Demon Wolf and others, not following Ye Liuyun.

"He couldn’t be planning to fight through with just these people? Even his devil serpent couldn’t defeat those beasts—wouldn’t he be walking to his death?"

Luo Yu doubted from where she stood. Watching Ye Liuyun draw his blade and walk at the very front like he was preparing for battle left her utterly puzzled.

At that moment, a fire wolf burst from the dense forest—clearly sent to probe them.

Ye Liuyun had everyone else stop while he stepped forward alone, pointing his blade at the fire wolf.

"What’s he doing? He really intends to fight!" Luo Yu watched Ye Liuyun’s back in shock.

The fire wolf hadn’t expected either—a seventh-level human cultivator daring to provoke it—and immediately lunged forward to tear him apart.

But just as it reached Ye Liuyun’s vicinity, his power of bloodline fully erupted as he unleashed a full-power strike combining blade intent, divine energy, and worldly power directly before him using spatial force.

With a thunderous crash, Ye Liuyun sent that fire wolf flying with one slash—a massive wound torn across its chest. Though not killed outright by that single blow, it lay dying on the ground unable to rise again.

"As expected of peak ninth-level strength—even my full-power slash couldn’t kill it."

Ye Liuyun rushed over to deliver another blow before finally severing its head. Only then did he store its corpse into his inner world.

"He actually won!" Luo Yu stared wide-eyed in utter disbelief.
