Chapter 1473: Returning with a Full Load
"How did you kill him?" Meng Zhangxing, seeing that there was nothing going on, then dared to disturb Ye Liuyun.
Guo Da and Luo Yun also looked curiously at Ye Liuyun.
At this moment, the clone also removed the invisibility cloak and appeared before everyone.
"Spellcraft!" Ye Liuyun did not hide it from them.
"Spellcraft? You learned it?"
Meng Zhangxing was greatly startled.
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun smiled at Luo Yun: "Wasn't I asking you to stall for time on the spirit stone platform? That was when I was practicing spellcraft!"
"But I didn't see you muttering just now!" Meng Zhangxing asked, puzzled.
"I also taught him!" Ye Liuyun said, referring to the clone.
However, the others still didn't know that was Ye Liuyun's clone, and thought it was just an ordinary assistant of his.
"What does that have to do with the spirit stone platform?" Luo Yun asked.
"The spirit stone platform can speed up understanding of the spirit tribe's language and spellcraft; practicing there means one won't suffer backlash when casting spellcraft later." Ye Liuyun explained.
Luo Yun looked at the clone.
Ye Liuyun knew she wanted to ask, but the clone hadn't come out then.
"Just being close is enough!" Ye Liuyun had to give an evasive answer to get past it.
"What information about Death Valley do you have from Lu Xiang?" Guo Da got down to business.
"The situation in Death Valley is worse than before. There is indeed a foreign tribe there, at the ninth level of the Celestial Venerable realm. In recent years, everyone who entered has been turned by him into corpse demons, wandering about inside. When we go in, we must not only watch out for the dangers within Death Valley, but also for those corpse demons and the foreign tribe!"
Ye Liuyun also told everyone the information he had gathered.
Moreover, Death Valley ultimately has two passages: one leads to another divine realm's world, already blocked by that foreign tribe; the other leads to the Underworld!
Ye Liuyun had not previously thought that there was an entrance to the Underworld here.
According to the timing, the Underworld God should not have returned yet. If one could enter the Underworld, Ye Liuyun would really like to go to the Underworld God's lair to have a look.
However, through searching Lu Xiang's soul, he learned that the Underworld God seemed to have reached some agreement with the foreign tribe. The specifics, Lu Xiang did not know.
He only knew that, because of that, the foreign tribe only allows people to go to the Underworld, not to the Divine Realm.
Many strong cultivators who rushed to go to the Divine Realm were killed, and their yin souls have already gone to the Underworld.
"I never expected it! The Underworld God actually has ties with the foreign tribe!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.
Ye Liuyun also didn't want Meng Zhangxing and the others to know about the Underworld God's affairs; knowing it wouldn't help them, and they'd just worry.
"Going to the Underworld—that's just dying, right?" Meng Zhangxing asked Ye Liuyun.
"Yes! It's the form of the yin soul!" Ye Liuyun explained.
"Is the Divine Realm the place one goes after reaching the divine realm?" Guo Da also asked.
"That's right. I've heard that before. Moreover, this heaven and earth does not allow power above the divine realm to exist. Therefore, going to that Divine Realm should be the obligatory choice for divine‑rank powerhouses."
Everyone kept asking questions. Ye Liuyun answered each thing he knew.
"Do people in your world all know these things?" Meng Zhangxing finally asked Ye Liuyun.
"Yes, many martial cultivators know that!" Ye Liuyun confirmed.
"Or it's that your martial way is highly developed!" Meng Zhangxing sighed.
Ye Liuyun also found some routes into Death Valley from Lu Xiang's memory—paths Lu Xiang had walked before—which would be a great help to them, saving them much effort later.
These were very practical pieces of information. Ye Liuyun also told everyone, making them feel more relaxed and less worried about Death Valley.
Soon, many puppets returned one after another.
Ye Liuyun had them hand over all resources uniformly to Liang Xue for processing, then returned with everyone to the Spirit Tribe.
Before leaving, Ye Liuyun cut off Lu Xiang's head, also to reassure the Spirit Tribe that Lu Xiang would no longer threaten them.
On the way, Meng Zhangxing still marveled that Ye Liuyun had actually learned spellcraft so quickly.
At the same time, they were also very interested in the Divine Realm and the Underworld, surrounding Ye Liuyun with endless questions.
Ye Liuyun's clone also told him at this time that they had gained quite a lot.
It's probably because Lu Xiang had been looting everywhere, gathering many resources, which are now cheap for Ye Liuyun.
Moreover, those martial cultivators each had gathered a lot of resources on their persons.
However, for Ye Liuyun, the main gain was still the information about Death Valley; with that, he could also have a clear picture in mind.
Ye Liuyun had the clone go cultivate first. Since his cultivation speed is now fast, to balance with the clone he can spend half the time cultivating.
And he himself was not idle; after chatting with everyone, he continually cultivated Heaven and Earth Power outside.
Ye Liuyun treasured his cultivation time. This also spurred Meng Zhangxing and the others to follow him, entering cultivation mode whenever they had time.
So although they were traveling around, in practice everyone's cultivation speed was no slower than before.
After they returned to the Spirit Tribe, the clan chief didn't ask about Lu Xiang's affairs.
Because they came and went so quickly, the clan chief never imagined Ye Liuyun would dispatch Lu Xiang so fast.
When he saw Lu Xiang's head, he was greatly startled; afterward, he repeatedly thanked Ye Liuyun.
"You've done us another big favor! Otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to deal with him!"
The Spirit Tribe's people are low in realm; before they could even get close to Lu Xiang, he would detect them and preemptively cast spellcraft. So they themselves could never kill Lu Xiang.
Only in a situation like Ye Liuyun's clone could one secretly cast spellcraft on Lu Xiang.
However, Ye Liuyun only told him that Lu Xiang died from a spiritual soul attack, without mentioning spellcraft.
He didn't want the Spirit Tribe to keep worrying that someone posed a threat to them. Anyway, he wouldn't be staying long here, so he might as well not tell them at all.
The Spirit Tribe even celebrated for this.
Afterward, Ye Liuyun and the others cultivated in their tribe for more than ten days.
Until that day, the Clan Chief brought A Ya to find them.
"A Ya is already ready, you can set out!" the Clan Chief said to Ye Liuyun and the others.
After saying that, the Clan Chief also gave Ye Liuyun many resources.
Inside there were many talismans drawn on animal hides, as well as a large amount of Spirit Stone resources, as repayment to Ye Liuyun.
Meng Zhangxing and the others also got a share, but the resources given to them were much less.
Since they themselves contributed little, they naturally wouldn't be jealous of Ye Liuyun.
"Are you ready?" Ye Liuyun asked A Ya.
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back!" A Ya said generously.
Ye Liuyun smiled, made a three-article agreement with A Ya, confirming that she would follow orders and so on; then he bade farewell to the Clan Chief, and under A Ya's leadership, they rushed to Death Valley.
