Chapter 1161: Cancel the Ambush

For a while, inside the Cave, the elegant sparrow made no sound.

That Alien Evil Artifact, after being absorbed by the Sealing Demon Tablet, didn't even have the strength to breathe.

Ye Liuyun, using his Golden Pupil, kept observing its condition.

He discovered that when the Sealing Demon Tablet absorbs energy at full power, its speed is truly rapid! Moreover, the Sealing Demon Tablet can not only absorb the True Essence inside the core, but also Demon Qi, blood veins, Soul, life essence, and so on; it can absorb all of them simultaneously.

Hoo!

The Alien finally exhaled a breath, then fell completely silent.

The Sealing Demon Tablet kept absorbing it until it turned into a piece of jerky, then shrank back into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun immediately used the Demon Slaying Sword to strip off the Alien's Exotic Scale Armor, keeping it for future battle armor.

His Alien battle armor, having seen frequent combat, has already been discarded in many sets. Though not yet at Divine Rank, it is extremely useful, and he doesn't mind discarding it.

Everyone quietly watched him collect the Alien's Exotic Scale Armor, not daring to move, fearing that Ye Liuyun's ferocious beasts might misunderstand and think they were about to ambush him.

Only after Ye Liuyun finished packing up and turned to leave did he notice they were all standing still like wooden figures.

He laughed, "Don't be so nervous! I'm a man of principle; I won't kill anyone casually. Take whatever you want, just take it, I'm leaving first!"

Ye Liuyun said his goodbyes, took the Martial Cultivator accompanying the Fourth Prince, and led the way out of the Cave.

The others glanced at each other, all wearing wry smiles.

Here, only that Alien Exotic Scale Armor was valuable, but Ye Liuyun had already taken it.

As for the blood in the blood pool, Ye Liuyun had no interest.

They, however, feared there might still be residual Alien Soul inside, so they dared not take it.

Beyond that, there was nothing else of value.

They had wasted their effort, only witnessing the Alien's cunning and Ye Liuyun's ruthless side!

Those who previously doubted Ye Liuyun's reputation now fully believe him.

Everyone thought to themselves, "No wonder the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince fear Ye Liuyun; this fellow not only has many tactics, but also strikes ruthlessly!"

They all decided that from now on, if they go out, they must never provoke Ye Liuyun again. They would even tell those around them not to provoke him.

One should know that the legendary Ye Liuyun can, at a moment's notice, wipe out an entire family.

Moreover, he is the sect master of the Demonic God Sect, which has hundreds of thousands of Demon Cultivators.

A casual remark from Ye Liuyun makes even the Imperial Family consider the consequences, let alone them.

Soon after Ye Liuyun left, they also withdrew one after another. Both sides didn't want to stay together long, lest friction arise.

The Crown Prince led at the front, the Seventh Prince with his men at the rear, and they withdrew from the Cave.

"You go ahead; I'll stay with my men to look around here and see if anything was missed," the Seventh Prince said to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince didn't hesitate and immediately led his men out of the valley.

Ye Liuyun was the first to exit the valley.

As soon as he stepped out, Zhu Youfu called him over.

Zhu Youfu was still alone, staying within an invisible Formation.

Ye Liuyun sensed the Fourth Prince's Token nearby; it seemed the ambush was already set.

He immediately took out the Token and informed the Fourth Prince of the enemy's numbers and strength.

"They are inside the Secret Realm and have not suffered much loss; our advantage is not obvious!" Ye Liuyun told the Fourth Prince.

He only provided information; whether to set an ambush depended on the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu began to discuss.

"If their two squads come out together, our ambush would be meaningless and would cause heavy losses! Even if they send out one squad first, we would gain little advantage," Zhuge Feiyu suggested retreat.

"But over at Ye Liuyun's side, there should be many ferocious beasts…" the Fourth Prince was reluctant to give up the chance.

"If he intends to use those ferocious beasts, he probably already did so in the valley. I think he is considering the Imperial Family's interests and won't meddle much in the princes' conflict."

Zhuge Feiyu analyzed.

The Fourth Prince, hearing this, also nodded.

If Ye Liuyun really helped him kill the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince, the Imperial Family would certainly deal with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's greater role is to protect his safety and help him win, not to deal with the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince. Those two matters are different.

"Alright! Since there's no absolute advantage, let's wait for another chance. We'll rush to Stone City first and seize the initiative!"

The Fourth Prince immediately notified everyone to cancel the ambush plan and hurried to Stone City.

As soon as Ye Liuyun entered Zhu Youfu's invisible Formation, Zhu Youfu told him, "The tracker sent by the Seventh Prince has already been eliminated by the Fourth Prince's group."

"Fine. Let's go," Ye Liuyun told Zhu Youfu to put away the Formation Plate and immediately leave the valley mouth.

The Martial Cultivator who followed him out was reassigned to another small team.

He didn't want to follow Ye Liuyun any longer, feeling the pressure was too great. Moreover, given Ye Liuyun's strength, he couldn't reap any treasure by staying with him.

Everyone handed over the points they had earned to the Fourth Prince, to avoid mishaps on the way.

When they saw Ye Liuyun and Zhu Youfu's points, everyone was stunned. Their points were not even a fraction of Ye Liuyun's.

"How… how did you get so many points?" everyone was curious about how Ye Liuyun obtained them.

"I exterminated a huge swarm of flying insects, so my points are especially high!" Ye Liuyun said lightly, without mentioning any of the dangers he'd faced.

Zhu Youfu, upon hearing this, felt even more that he had aligned with the right person.

After Ye Liuyun's reminder, everyone began pondering ways to earn more points, researching how to obtain a large amount of points in one go.

The Fourth Prince thought his points were a sure win, so he suggested everyone head straight to Stone City.

Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu, however, cautioned, "Others might also encounter such opportunities; it's safer for everyone to try to earn as many points as possible!"

Thus, Ye Liuyun's group and the Fourth Prince continued to act separately, continuing to earn points while rushing to Stone City.

Along the way, Ye Liuyun recounted his experiences in the valley to Zhu Youfu, prompting Zhu Youfu to reflect on the Alien Evil Artifact's sentient intelligence. He had always thought Alien Evil Artifacts were like ferocious beasts, only known for killing.

The purpose Ye Liuyun explained to him was also to let them understand the Foreign Tribe more, so they wouldn't be schemed against by the Foreign Tribe later.

After the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince came out, they also continued rushing to Stone City.

The Crown Prince's group of eleven people had four killed by Ye Liuyun himself, leaving only seven. So they also didn't split up, but instead rushed together to Stone City.
