33: Chapter 33 The Zhao Family Attacks

As for the Sect's Cultivate resources and Advanced Martial Skills, they were merely icing on the cake for him.

With the System's assistance, as long as the Dual Cultivation was sufficient, his Mystic Power would naturally become thick and majestic.

Cultivation Technique Bottlenecks could also be easily broken through; there was no need to deliberately pursue those external things.

Seeing the undisguised glint of excitement in Ye Yun's eyes, Su Zhennan understood and smiled.

"Young Master Ye, with your strength, if you participate in The Great Competition, you will surely achieve good results. This is an excellent opportunity to enter the Four Great Sects, something many people dream of."

Ye Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes flickered with a determined light.

The Four Great Sects—he had to enter!

Not only for his own martial path's future and to protect Liu Ruyan and Su Wanqing, but also for that unique path of Dual Cultivation martial arts.

Only there could he quickly grow into a true powerhouse, unafraid of any storms!

"Uncle Su, thank you for informing me of this news."

Ye Yun's tone was forceful and resonant, without the slightest hesitation.

"I will definitely participate in The Great Competition! Moreover, I am determined to secure one of the top two spots!"

Looking at Ye Yun's confident appearance, Su Zhennan felt immensely gratified.

He knew that Ye Yun's future was limitless, and the Four Great Sects might be the starting point for him to spread his wings and fly high.

However, he did not know that Ye Yun's urgency to enter a Sect was not simply for Cultivate resources or guidance from famous masters.

Instead, it was for a special reason that others could not imagine.

Su Zhennan still had a trace of worry in his heart.

Now that the City Lord's Mansion and outside forces were searching for Ye Yun, he wondered if he could successfully register for The Great Competition.

Furthermore, at The Great Competition, Genius powerhouses like Zhao Tianlong from the City Lord's Mansion and the Wang Family's Wang Yuyan would gather; it would be no easy feat for Ye Yun to stand out.

After Su Zhennan took his leave, the sun had set, and twilight gradually enveloped the West City Villa.

Ye Yun saw Su Zhennan to the courtyard gate, and when he returned, the ease from before had vanished from his face.

He walked under the corridor and looked at Liu Ruyan, who was tidying up the tea set, his tone heavy.

"Ruyan, in the coming days, you must not step a single foot out of this villa."

Liu Ruyan's movements paused, and she looked up at him, her eyes filled with worry.

"Yun'er, is it... have the people from Qingyun City really arrived?"

"Most likely." Ye Yun nodded and reached out to hold her slightly cool hand.

"The news Uncle Su brought is too suspicious. With outside forces searching alongside the City Lord's Mansion, I can't think of any other possibility besides the Three Great Families. They have been relentlessly pursuing the remnants of the Ye Family, and this time they must have found clues in Shiyun City."

Liu Ruyan's eyes turned slightly red, both anxious and distressed.

"Then what will you do? They are numerous and have the help of the City Lord's Mansion. If you encounter danger..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ye Yun gently patted the back of her hand, his tone gentle yet firm.

"I am now at the Martial Master Realm Eighth Level; ordinary people cannot harm me. Moreover, with Uncle Su helping to gather information, we only need to lie low for a while. Once I participate in the Shiyun City Grand Competition and enter the Four Great Sects, we can completely rid ourselves of their harassment."

He paused and added.

"During this time, I will stay with you day and night, and I won't leave the villa even to Cultivate. Remember, no matter what noise you hear, do not open the door. I'll handle everything."

Liu Ruyan nodded with tears in her eyes, tightly clutching his hand.

"I understand. You must be careful too."

...

As night deepened, a warm lamp was lit in the villa's room, its halo soft.

Ye Yun sat cross-legged on the bed with Liu Ruyan leaning in his arms. The Mystic Power around them intertwined, forming a faint pink airflow.

The matter of Dual Cultivation had long since come naturally. At this moment, with their skin touching and breaths blending, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Liu Ruyan's cheeks were flushed with an alluring red, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Her hands tightly circled Ye Yun's neck, her breath as sweet as orchids.

"Yun'er, your Mystic Power... is becoming more and more profound."

Ye Yun lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice carrying a somewhat raspy magnetism.

"It's because your Physique is compatible; you've helped me so much."

His palm gently stroked her smooth back, and Mystic Power slowly flowed from his palm into her body, intertwining and resonating with her aura.

Liu Ruyan let out a soft moan, her body trembling slightly as she drew even closer to him.

"As long as I can help you..."

The two of them were immersed in the tranquility and pleasure of Dual Cultivation, with Mystic Power circulating endlessly within each other's bodies.

Ye Yun could clearly feel the Bottleneck slowly loosening; the threshold of the 9th Stage of Martial Master Realm seemed within reach.

But just then, Ye Yun's brow suddenly furrowed, and his gaze instantly became sharp.

"Something's not right," he whispered.

Liu Ruyan also instantly snapped back to alertness. The flush on her face hadn't faded, yet her eyes were now filled with vigilance.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming," Ye Yun's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"The auras are messy; there are at least a dozen people heading towards the villa."

It was not the first time the two had faced danger together, and their rapport was perfect.

Without needing words, Liu Ruyan quickly rose from Ye Yun's arms and nimbly put on her clothes. Though her movements were fast,

her cheeks grew even more alluringly red due to the previous intimacy and current tension.

Ye Yun also quickly tidied his clothes, his Mystic Power quietly circulating as he fixed his gaze on the door.

Outside the courtyard, the sound of footsteps grew closer, finally stopping at the villa's entrance.

"Ye Yun, Liu Ruyan, come out and meet your deaths!"

Zhao Lie's voice, filled with uncontrollable ecstasy and ruthlessness, exploded in the night like a clap of thunder.

Leading over a dozen Zhao Family Disciples, he had already surrounded the villa, their weapons glinting coldly under the moonlight.

Through clues provided by the City Lord's Mansion and secret investigations, he had finally pinpointed Ye Yun and Liu Ruyan's hiding place, and he was now determined to succeed.

Ye Yun's gaze darkened as he whispered to Liu Ruyan.

"Stay in the room. Don't come out."

"I'm coming with you." Liu Ruyan grabbed the longsword from the corner, her eyes full of determination.

Ye Yun gave her a deep look and stopped trying to dissuade her. He pushed open the door and walked out with Liu Ruyan.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Lie, dressed in a purple robe, stood at the very front of the crowd.

His gaze was like that of a hungry wolf, fixed on Liu Ruyan with burning eyes, making no attempt to hide his greed.

Today, Liu Ruyan wore a plain-colored dress, her cheeks still tinged with a flush.

Between her brows was a trace of lingering laziness combined with her current stubbornness, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

"It really is you!" Zhao Lie laughed heartily, his tone full of triumph.

"Ye Yun, Liu Ruyan, after hiding for so long, I've finally found you!"

Ye Yun looked at him coldly, his tone icy.

"Zhao Lie, you've tried to kill us time and again. What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want?" Zhao Lie sneered, his gaze still glued to Liu Ruyan.

"Hand over the item, and I can give you a swift death!"

"What item?"

Ye Yun and Liu Ruyan exchanged a look, both of their faces filled with confusion.

"Don't play dumb!" Zhao Lie's face darkened as he shouted sternly.

"That old fogey Ye Canglan always trusted you, Liu Ruyan, deeply. His Mysterious Grade Technique must have been given to you! If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A Mysterious Grade Technique?

Both Ye Yun and Liu Ruyan were startled, and they instantly understood.
