Chapter 1166: Guarding Stone City

Ye Liuyun and his group are now busily arranging Formation Plates on the city wall, and nobody even noticed them.

Even the Imperial Family observers of them didn't pay attention to these details.

Zhu Youfu also didn't mind the disappearance and appearance of Ye Liuyun's clone.

He thought it was just a Demon Cultivator near Ye Liuyun, summoned back to the Space World to fetch something and would return immediately.

Ye Liuyun thus, without anyone noticing, took the best resources from this Secret Realm.

And once the resources are in his hands, others can never retrieve them.

Ye Liuyun and Zhu Youfu labored for a half day, and again placed many Defense Array Plates at key spots on the city wall, stopping only when they felt it was foolproof.

"If they can still break through this defense, I'll cut off my head and give it to them as a ball to kick!" Zhu Youfu said exaggeratedly.

"We can't speak so absolutely! If we have a chance, they do too! At least we can all capture the ferocious beasts!"

Although Ye Liuyun also believes his defense shouldn't be easily breached, he still isn't careless.

He also released the Dragon Eagle siblings, letting them scout from afar.

Within less than a day, the Dragon Eagle siblings returned to Stone City, reporting to Ye Liuyun.

"Crown Prince is capturing ferocious beasts; the captured beasts are stored in a storage space, so we can't see how many they caught. Meanwhile, Seventh Prince has three hundred Di Zun First Rank stone men, marching forward in a killing spree, and we don't know if they have more stone men."

"Thanks for your hard work, you two, go rest first!"

Ye Liuyun first let the Dragon Eagle siblings go rest, then immediately took out a Token and communicated with Fourth Prince, urging him to enter the city quickly.

If delayed, Fourth Prince might be blocked outside, which would be dangerous.

Given the current strength of Crown Prince and Seventh Prince, Fourth Prince alone certainly can't handle them.

Zhu Youfu, upon hearing about three hundred Di Zun First Rank stone men, immediately felt uneasy.

"Boss, can we block three hundred Di Zun First Rank stone men?"

He originally thought Ye Liuyun's defense was foolproof, but now the opponent's strength is too great, and he's wavering.

"Don't worry! They can't get in!" Ye Liuyun could only temporarily reassure him.

If there are only three hundred stone men of Di Zun rank, they shouldn't be able to break through.

But the current situation is, he also doesn't know if Seventh Prince has more hidden.

And regarding Crown Prince, the number of ferocious beasts is even more unknown.

Ye Liuyun gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

Wu Qingcheng, after learning this, took out a horn and asked Ye Liuyun: "Do you still remember this thing?"

"War horn?" Ye Liuyun of course still remembered this thing that can drive ferocious beasts mad.

"Do you intend to use this to boost our ferocious beasts' combat power?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Wu Qingcheng shook her head.

"That would be too wasteful of our ferocious beasts! I can make their beasts go mad and kill each other!"

"Hmm, that's not a bad plan!" Ye Liuyun thought it could be tried.

"What about those stone men?" Huo Wu asked. Their biggest worry remains those three hundred Di Zun rank stone men.

Although the stone men are not of as high a realm, their numbers are large, and their bodies are impervious to water and fire, making them harder to deal with.

"Stone men are all controlled by Martial Cultivators' Divine Sense. Then we can try Spiritual Soul Attack," Su Miaoyin suggested.

"Good. The best method is Spiritual Soul Attack. Three hundred Di Zun First Rank stone men make a pretty solid force!"

Ye Liuyun has already set his sights on this stone man legion. If they can be subdued without destruction, that's the best outcome.

When Fourth Prince learned that the two princes had both amassed great power, he was shocked and immediately notified everyone to hasten to Stone City.

They had originally been ahead of Crown Prince and the others, so they arrived at Stone City early.

Only after he and Zhuge Feiyu entered the city did Ye Liuyun feel completely at ease.

Soon the few remaining Martial Cultivators also rushed over.

These Martial Cultivators, upon hearing of Crown Prince and Seventh Prince's strength, couldn't bother looking for treasures; securing the situation was priority, so they hurried quickly.

After entering the city, everyone first went to the stone statue to sense it. After disappointment, they began discussing strategies with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun initially walked around the wall with Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu, explaining the defense layout. The others were briefed by Fourth Prince.

After Zhuge Feiyu understood the layout, his admiration for Ye Liuyun grew.

He couldn't find any flaw in Ye Liuyun's defense; some parts were even more meticulous than he expected.

In fact, to be safe, Ye Liuyun also consulted Qin Peng and made some adjustments.

"They'll arrive here in a day!"

After the Dragon Eagle siblings went on a patrol and returned with the latest news.

However, they highlighted that Crown Prince's ability to capture many ferocious beasts might be linked to a whip held by someone.

Because they happened to see the capture, they discovered a Martial Cultivator wielding a whip was subduing them.

Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled the Martial Cultivator who drove the earth demon cattle with a whip.

"It seems his whip must be a treasure that can deter ferocious beasts!" Ye Liuyun mused.

"Is there a way to snatch the whip and let Crown Prince and Seventh Prince clash first, to wear them down?"

Zhuge Feiyu not only wanted to seize the whip but also hoped Crown Prince and Seventh Prince would fight each other first.

Ye Liuyun thought, shook his head: "Those two will definitely see me as the greatest threat. It's fine if they don't unite. The chance of them fighting each other is slim!"

Fourth Prince also agreed with Ye Liuyun. However, ambushing a Martial Cultivator to seize a treasure seemed feasible to him.

Originally this matter was extremely simple for Ye Liuyun.

He only needed to send out Black Tortoise to kill that Martial Cultivator and take the treasure.

But he said nothing. Since he already had a method to deal with the beasts, there was no hurry.

"Let the princes figure out their own disputes."

Fourth Prince also didn't force him, and after devising a plan with Zhuge Feiyu, he took the remaining Martial Cultivators and went out to implement it.

Ye Liuyun also didn't try to stop them, but secretly let Black Tortoise follow. If an accident occurs, Black Tortoise is only responsible for rescuing the Fourth Prince and Zhuge Feiyu. Of course the Fourth Prince is the most important.

If there is no danger, he will just watch the spectacle and not intervene.

Black Tortoise, receiving orders, concealed himself and kept a distance, silently trailing behind the Fourth Prince and the others.
