Chapter 1564: Delivered to the Door

The bandits' hideout was originally in an abandoned warship within the Fog Sea ahead.

But now the abandoned warship has been moved away, replaced by a building resembling a side courtyard.

In fact, this entire side courtyard is the state manifested when a high‑grade treasure is amplified.

The Yin Souls plan to use it to trap Ye Liuyun.

To lure Ye Liuyun into taking the bait, the Yin Souls specially placed many valuable items inside the side courtyard, precisely to draw him in.

The bandit's movements are all under the Yin Souls' control, who have planted a death mark on him.

When the Yin Souls noticed the bandit approaching the building, they immediately paid attention.

Because their order to the bandit was clear: if he failed to lure Ye Liuyun, he must absolutely not approach the side courtyard.

Could it be that Ye Liuyun has come to us of his own accord?

They were also speculating.

Ye Liuyun naturally also knew their agreement.

But within the Fog Sea, discovering the hidden Yin Souls is also quite difficult.

He must lure those Yin Souls out.

He first had his clone use the Invisibility Cloak to conceal his form as much as possible.

Then he ordered the bandit to enter the side courtyard to act as bait.

Although he had a clone, he himself could go in as bait.

However, he is currently unsure of the side courtyard's function, so he dares not rush in.

The bandit entered, and at first he dared not move recklessly.

Later, both he and Ye Liuyun noticed a formation activating, enveloping the side courtyard.

Now Ye Liuyun cannot enter, and the bandit cannot exit.

Ye Liuyun also tried, shooting an arrow at the bandit, but the formation blocked it outside.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun couldn't get in, the bandit stopped worrying about being killed and burst out laughing inside.

He then began looting the treasures the Yin Souls had placed inside, storing them all in his Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun tried using spatial power to move the treasures out, but the formation blocked them.

The bandit was practically asking for death, gathering treasures while recklessly insulting Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that spatial translocation was useless, Ye Liuyun immediately tried spellcraft.

Indeed, the formation could not block the spellcraft formation; moreover, the Martial Cultivator's realm was too low, his vitality too weak—Ye Liuyun had barely uttered two words before he collapsed to the ground, half‑dead.

&

You dare to curse, huh?

Ye Liuyun said with a cold smile.

"Spare my life, young master; I won't dare again!"

The bandit lay on the ground, speaking weakly.

"Come out, hand over the things!"

Ye Liuyun directly commanded.

The bandit, helpless, crawled outward.

But when he encountered the formation, he was also blocked.

"It seems this formation is a two‑way defense!"

Ye Liuyun secretly thought.

He again had the Martial Cultivator produce a treasure to attack the formation, wanting to gauge its strength.

But when the bandit attacked the formation, the treasure rebounded, and a thick black vapor began to rise from the point of impact.

"It's Yin energy! Could this side courtyard also be transmitting Yin Souls inside?"

Ye Liuyun waited curiously to see the side courtyard's changes.

Soon, Yin energy filled the entire side courtyard, and each Yin Soul was transmitted over.

However, they did not notice Ye Liuyun, only seeing that bandit.

"What's going on?"

A Yin Soul asked the bandit.

Before the bandit could answer, Ye Liuyun immediately used spellcraft to destroy him, giving him no chance to reply.

Afterward, he again used spellcraft to attack those Yin Souls.

He also wanted to test whether the spellcraft taught by the Withered Wood Monk was effective against Yin Souls; upon trying, the result exceeded his expectations.

Although Yin Souls originally have no life, Ye Liuyun's spellcraft is even more effective against them and demons.

Although those Yin Souls were obviously of a higher realm, under Ye Liuyun's spellcraft they seemed to be enveloped in golden light, instantly melting away, souls scattering, dying even faster than the bandit.

"Is this the power of Buddha Light?"

Although Ye Liuyun can use spellcraft, he still cannot fathom where this Buddha Light power comes from.

Fortunately, it doesn't hinder its use, so he quickly eliminated all the Yin Souls inside.

Subsequently, more Yin Souls kept arriving, but Ye Liuyun annihilated them all within the side courtyard.

It turned out these Yin Souls had been hiding far away, evading Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detection, intending by this method to trap him and then wear him down by numbers.

But they never expected this place to become Ye Liuyun's cage for slaughtering those Yin Souls.

At this moment, both his and his clone's Divine Sense detected Nether Ghost Ships encircling from four directions.

It seems the Yin Souls also sensed the abnormality, all gathering to investigate.

"Get ready for battle!"

Ye Liuyun reminded Liang Xue, Lei Ming, and the others.

Liang Xue also reminded Ye Liuyun: 'These Yin souls no longer just know how to slaughter as before; instead, they set traps to harm people! From now on, we still need to be careful!'

Ye Liuyun also realized the difference in these Yin souls: 'Hn! Indeed, we need to be more careful.'

You all also need to be careful, prepare your defensive divine artifacts.

At this moment, his clone had already rushed to the Nether Ghost Ship that arrived first and attacked it.

He faced the warship head-on, and the enemy could not see any flaw in his invisibility cloak.

After he got close, he began using spellcraft to attack the Yin souls inside the warship.

The Yin souls inside the warship were bewildered; first the piloting Yin soul was annihilated, then they all scattered one by one.

'Someone is attacking us!'

When those Yin souls reacted and tried to rush out, the clone blocked the warship's entrance and exit, using spellcraft to kill them one by one.

Finally, the entire warship was wiped out by him alone.

Ye Liuyun's side was much slower.

He alone had to deal with three warships while also ensuring the safety of Liang Xue and the others.

Moreover, the Yin souls sent by the Underworld God this time were indeed strong.

Ye Liuyun couldn't hold out long; feeling overwhelmed, he immediately waved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, letting Shura lead the Yin soul army out to help.

When the opposing Yin souls clashed, Ye Liuyun's pressure suddenly eased.

Only then did he begin using spellcraft, first taking out the few strongest Yin souls leading the troops.

When one of those Yin souls died, the formation in the Side Courtyard immediately stopped.

'It seems this Yin soul is the master of this treasure!'

Ye Liuyun thought, then immediately used his Divine Sense to probe into the treasure and take it for himself.

That treasure instantly shrank to fit in Ye Liuyun's palm, and he stored it in his Space World.

Ye Liuyun would not refuse the treasure delivered by the Yin souls.

After Ye Liuyun killed those strong Yin souls, they quickly lost morale, being surrounded and slain by Shura leading the Yin soul army.

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to find a few Yin souls of suitable cultivation level to practice on for fun.
