Chapter 1430: Joint Poisoning

When Luo Yun finished refining the pill, Guo Da's Formation Plate was also ready.

"After you ingest this pill, you can control its effect, shaping your appearance as you imagine, altering bones and muscles. I have modified this pill so that it will change your eye color to black."

Luo Yun explained it to Ye Liuyun, then let him take the pill.

After Ye Liuyun swallowed the pill, its effect spread rapidly.

This effect allows him to clearly control his internal bones and muscles, achieving the form he desires.

"This pill is truly marvelous!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, then began to change according to the appearance of Xie Tianqi.

But because he lacked experience, and Xie Tianqi's physique was a notch taller than his, he accidentally tore his clothes.

Luo Yun smiled and returned to her residence to transform.

"That girl really holds a grudge, not even warning me beforehand!" Ye Liuyun laughed helplessly and took out a better-quality garment to change into.

Then Meng Zhangxing also took a look. He had seen Xie Tianqi before and gave Ye Liuyun some subtle advice.

A short while later, Luo Yun emerged, having altered her appearance to that of a princess.

Only Xie Tianqi has the authority to summon all Martial Cultivators, making it convenient for them to act.

Meng Zhangxing looked and was fairly satisfied with their appearances.

Afterward, the two also tried speaking, adjusting their voices to match.

When everything was ready, Meng Zhangxing suddenly suggested, "Should we sign a contract to guarantee we won't harm each other? Just in case, right?"

"Indeed! We also must not reveal our secret to others!" Luo Yun added.

"Hmm, not only direct harm, we must not frame anyone either!" Guo Da added.

Thus the group drafted a Divine Soul Contract together, all signed it, and then set out at night toward the Lone Star Auction House.

Before leaving, Luo Yun transferred the medicinal herbs planted in the courtyard to her Space World.

With this Divine Soul Contract, they had even fewer reservations toward each other.

Ye Liuyun, having the contract, no longer worried that Meng Zhangxing harbored ulterior motives toward him.

This contract is not only effective during their expedition; it remains valid for all of them long‑term.

Even so, they still try not to pry into others' privacy. After all, everyone has secrets they don't wish to make public.

The Lone Star Auction House has no auction today and is already closed for rest.

After Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun arrived, they knocked the door open directly.

【8】 "Eldest young master? Princess? Why have you come?" the Leader at the gate, seeing only the two of them and no guard nearby, was somewhat puzzled.

「Eldest Young Master? Princess? How did you two come? 」the gate Leader, seeing that only the two of them had come, with not a single attendant by their side, couldn't help but feel somewhat strange.

"I have an urgent matter. Quickly summon all Martial Cultivators to see me!" Ye Liuyun, imitating Xie Tianqi's voice, ordered.

"Yes!" the guard Leader replied, immediately went to inform the Elder, thinking something major had happened.

Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun went into the Grand Hall to prepare, waiting for those people to arrive.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun, copying the method Xie Tianhong and his son previously used to poison him, dispersed toxin throughout the Grand Hall, waiting for the Martial Cultivators to take the bait.

Soon, the Grand Elder of the Lone Star Auction House rushed to the Grand Hall.

"Eldest young master, what happened?" the Grand Elder asked anxiously.

"I received a secret report and located Ye Liuyun. Quickly gather all Martial Cultivators; this time he can't escape!" Ye Liuyun urged him.

"This... could you tell me the situation? After all, you've acted so many times before and never captured Ye Liuyun, suffering losses..." the Grand Elder said hesitantly.

"Hm? Are you questioning me again?" Ye Liuyun's tone instantly turned cold.

"I dare not!" the Grand Elder immediately bowed his head and admitted fault.

"Go quickly!" Ye Liuyun urged again.

"Yes. All Martial Cultivators?" the Grand Elder asked with a hint of meaning, glancing at the princess.

"Correct! All!" Ye Liuyun guessed he was referring to the Martial Cultivators with Foreign Tribe aura.

The Grand Elder answered, turned, and went to call people.

Inside the Lone Star Auction House, lights instantly brightened.

High-level, prestigious Martial Cultivators entered the Grand Hall; ordinary Martial Cultivators gathered before the hall. Those below the Zao Hua Realm had no qualification to assemble at all.

Ye Liuyun scanned the area, counting roughly five hundred Martial Cultivators.

The Martial Cultivators infected by Foreign Tribe aura were all inside the Grand Hall.

Luo Yun also sensed their presence, pretended a hint of disgust, and said to Ye Liuyun, "Explain the matter first; I'll wait outside for you!"

Saying that, she rose and went outside the hall; the Martial Cultivators there immediately cleared a passage for her.

She held a Buddha‑like altar, lit it, and fragrance instantly wafted out.

Then, cradling the altar, she walked casually around the courtyard.

"Just these people?" Ye Liuyun pretended to glance at the few below.

"Yes, eldest young master. Our Xie family has been ruined by Ye Liuyun. Now, apart from the Martial Cultivators stationed in the big cities, only this many remain!"

"Hmm!" Ye Liuyun pretended to furrow his brow in thought.

But in reality, he was truly controlling the toxin, infiltrating these Martial Cultivators' bodies.

Many of these Martial Cultivators are of the Tianzun Realm, so Ye Liuyun dared not use overly potent toxins, lest they become alert.

"Eldest young master, has the princess already discovered something?"

At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun, indicating that the princess might have sensed the Foreign Tribe aura.

"Ignore her; I have a way," Ye Liuyun replied directly.

Meanwhile, the fragrance from the courtyard had already drifted into the Grand Hall.

"This fragrance is off; it seems to weaken True Essence!" a Tianzun Realm Martial Cultivator, more alert, inhaled deeply and immediately sensed something amiss.

"Hold your breath, the princess is conducting a test!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"At this moment, all the Martial Cultivators have already been poisoned; they just haven't reacted yet, and Ye Liuyun still wants to delay a bit."

"Even if they hold their breath, the poison he administered is already too late; as soon as it touches the skin, they will be poisoned."

"Test? What test? We aren't supposed to go assassinate Ye Liuyun?" That Grand Elder was somewhat confused, feeling that Xie Tianqi seemed strange today.

"No way! Why do I feel a bit nauseous?" Inside the hall, the Martial Cultivator with the lowest realm was the first to react.

"Huh?" That Grand Elder immediately became suspicious.

"Young Master, what's going on?" He immediately asked Ye Liuyun.
