Chapter 1146: Mysterious Power

Every few steps forward, the number of metal puppets doubles.

Ye Liuyun and Zhu Youfu stopped, one side explaining to him while watching how far that martial cultivator could go ahead.

That martial cultivator, relying on a saint-rank ferocious beast, barely defeated sixteen metal puppets, then dared not go further.

He and his ferocious beast were also exhausted, his true essence nearly depleted.

So he slowly retreated.

At that moment, a white little fox ran out of the valley, carrying something in its mouth, placed it on the ground, then ran back.

That person hesitated to pick it up, discovering it was actually an energy ball that could be directly absorbed for cultivation.

Moreover, he took out his token to check, and told his companion that his points had also increased.

After he retreated, his companion also tried, likewise relying on divine artifacts and treasures, defeating sixteen metal puppets.

When he retreated, the white little fox again carried an energy ball out and placed it far away on the ground.

That martial cultivator wanted to catch the little fox, but unexpectedly the little fox was extraordinarily clever, dodging early.

After running far away, it even turned back and bared its teeth at the martial cultivator, as if mocking him.

"If we could catch this little white fox, the treasures inside the valley could just be taken freely!"

Ye Liuyun thought, then handed the Magic Net to Yingzi, telling him to get ready to catch that little fox later.

That martial cultivator rested a moment, planning to try again with his companion, perhaps defeating more metal puppets to gain better rewards.

But as soon as they entered this time, the metal puppets that initially charged at them had become two.

However, they still jointly defeated thirty-two metal puppets before retreating.

Yet this time, waiting left and right, they still didn't see that little white fox.

"It seems the reward is given only once! Unless they can continue to break through forward. Moreover, the number of metal puppets is related to the number of challengers."

Ye Liuyun watched for most of the day, also roughly understanding the rules.

"Let's go, we'll head over. If we're late, those two might run far away!"

Ye Liuyun greeted Zhu Youfu, urging his Azure Wind Wolf beneath him to dash toward that valley.

Zhu Youfu also immediately urged his ferocious beast to follow.

"Can we two defeat those two?" Zhu Youfu asked anxiously from behind.

"We don't need to act ourselves."

Ye Liuyun replied to him, at the same time letting Yingzi act, swiftly killing those two.

Soon, those two also discovered Ye Liuyun and his group.

But they weren't as fast as Ye Liuyun's Azure Wind Wolf; knowing fleeing was useless, they instead prepared for a desperate fight.

They felt both sides were two people, likely similar in strength, so a clash might not mean defeat.

However, when they saw the approaching people were Ye Liuyun and the fat guy who knows formations, their hearts turned cold.

"It's Ye Liuyun!"

During their preparation phase, they also asked the Crown Prince, roughly learning about Ye Liuyun's experiences.

The Crown Prince, like the Seventh Prince, had already listed Ye Liuyun as the top dangerous person, telling them to flee immediately upon encounter.

But now they wanted to dodge yet couldn't, their speed not matching Ye Liuyun's Azure Wind Wolf.

Thus they both immediately brought out their ferocious beasts, divine artifacts, treasures, etc., making full preparations.

Yet when Ye Liuyun rushed close, he and Zhu Youfu stopped, smiling at those two, with no intention to attack.

"Ye Liuyun, what do you mean?" one of the martial cultivators asked.

But just as he spoke to Ye Liuyun, a blood line appeared on his neck, and immediately his whole head fell from his shoulders.

"Ah!"

His companion beside him startled, flashing backward.

"Pfft!"

A dagger just happened to be behind him, piercing through his chest.

That martial cultivator watched the dagger tip protruding from his chest, with a drop of blood dripping down from below.

"This is..."

Before his doubt could be spoken, he took another palm strike, directly shattering his physical body.

Ye Liuyun also wasn't idle, using his Golden Pupil to drag both of their souls into his Creation Domain for absorption.

At the same time, with a gesture, he absorbed their storage rings, weapons, and treasures.

Even their ferocious beasts, Ye Liuyun directly suppressed with Divine Soul Power, then implanted a Slave Seal, storing them in his Space World.

Moreover, the interiors of these two's storage rings were filled to the brim with various cultivation resources.

After all, they are all heavenly prides of major clans and sects; how could cultivation resources be lacking?

Ye Liuyun directly threw their divine artifacts and treasures to Zhu Youfu.

"Haha! I said it, following you is never wrong! No need to do anything, and we already have this much harvest!"

Zhu Youfu happily gathered everything away.

Other than that, even more things, he wasn't envious, instead feeling quite content.

Ye Liuyun also just smiled, and he came to the valley's entrance with him.

"You go first!" Ye Liuyun let Zhu Youfu try first.

At the same time, he let Yingzi also sneak in.

After Zhu Youfu entered, Yingzi also tried to follow. But as soon as he entered, those metal puppets launched an attack at him.

Thus Yingzi immediately retreated.

"It seems the Shadow Concealment Technique won't work!"

Ye Liuyun and the shadow took back the magic net, then handed it to Black Tortoise to try again, but the result was the same—it was still discovered by the metal puppet.

He again let his clone, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, go in, but it too was still discovered by the metal puppet.

Really strange!

No matter how Ye Liuyun tried, he would always be discovered by these skeleton puppets.

At this point, Zhu Youfu, relying on his two Di Zun First Rank ferocious beasts and Formation, easily defeated thirty‑two metal puppets.

He wasn't greedy either; he didn't want to take even a bit of risk, and immediately withdrew.

"If you add Formation and treasures, perhaps you could break through another layer," Ye Liuyun suggested.

"No need! My two ferocious beasts are tired; if we keep fighting, it'll become dangerous!"

Zhu Youfu said so and then withdrew.

Soon, the little white fox snatched a divine artifact long sword and threw it to Zhu Youfu.

"Huh, the prize is still different!" Zhu Youfu exclaimed, pulling the long sword toward him.

Ye Liuyun meanwhile took the opportunity to use his Golden Pupil, trying to shift that little white fox over.

However, within this valley, another kind of power arose that neutralized Ye Liuyun's Spatial Power.

But the little white fox still sensed Ye Liuyun's intention to catch it, stuck out its tongue, bared its teeth at Ye Liuyun, and ran back.

What's going on?

Ye Liuyun immediately explained the valley's strangeness to Zhu Youfu.

Is there some kind of formation here?
