Chapter 1655: Plan Change

"Yes, yes!" the shopkeeper answered repeatedly, then stepped back.

After stepping down, he checked himself and indeed found no abnormality, so he had no reason to go looking for the patrolling squad leader.

He thought to himself, "Anyway there's no loss, so I'll just endure it! These two Humans are really strange. But this Soul Search technique is truly powerful!"

After Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming finished their meal, they paid the amount due. The shopkeeper and his assistant, excited, thanked them repeatedly.

Ye Liuyun immediately released two Yin-Yang Realm Demon Wolves as mounts, and together with Lei Ming rode the Demon Wolves rushing toward the Human Sacred City.

"Goodness! Even the mounts are Yin-Yang Realm!" the shopkeeper sighed, "Now Leader will get rich..."

By now Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming had left the tavern, unaware that it was a black shop. The shopkeeper colluded with the stationed Leader here, and had harmed many.

However, just after they left the village, they discovered that Demon Race soldiers were ambushing ahead.

"It's that Demon Squad Leader from earlier!" Lei Ming's Divine Sense also saw the situation ahead.

They both are Tianzun Realm Martial Cultivators, so their Divine Sense is naturally strong. The opponent hadn't noticed them, yet they had already seen the opponent's arrangement clearly.

"It seems they intend to rob us! Didn't expect the place we just went to was a Demon Race black shop!" Ye Liuyun smiled.

"At their level, still trying to rob us! I think they're just bringing us resources," Lei Ming also smiled.

"Fine, then it's up to you to perform!" Ye Liuyun left everything to Lei Ming to handle.

They both paid no heed, steering the Demon Wolves straight forward.

After they entered the encirclement, the Demon Race soldiers appeared one after another, blocking their path.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming riding two Demon Wolves, the tiger-headed squad leader was startled, but there were many experts on their side, and dealing with two Yin-Yang Realm Demon Wolves was still effortless.

This further shows that they risked killing Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming, two Humans, and it wouldn't be a loss. Just obtaining those two Demon Wolves is already profitable.

He had already been plotting against Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming in the shop, merely to test their strength.

Ye Liuyun's polite words were taken by him as a sign that Ye Liuyun and his group lacked strength and confidence, because he couldn't discern their realms.

He was still puzzled then, how could two Humans without a realm dare to come out themselves? Now seeing those two Demon Wolves, he thought Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming only dared to move because they relied on the Demon Wolves.

"Two of you, we meet again!" the Demon Squad Leader said in a pretentious manner.

"Why are you blocking us?" Lei Ming asked directly.

Ye Liuyun, who was already too lazy to bother with him, leapt toward the Demon Leader and pounced.

The Leader also had jet-black skin, with eyes narrowed to a slit, making it impossible to tell whether they were closed or open.

Moreover, he kept his distance and wasn't ready to strike. But Ye Liuyun had no intention of letting him go. This Demon Leader, being of considerable rank, should know more than that shopkeeper.

"Stop the idle talk with him, kill them all, leave no survivor!" Ye Liuyun transmitted to Lei Ming.

These Demon soldiers hadn't expected the Humans they intended to rob to strike first.

While they were stunned, Lei Ming rose into the air, manifested his true form, released Demon Qi and pressure, intimidating them.

That Demon Squad Leader, one of the stronger among the soldiers, was struck by Lei Ming's lightning and turned to charcoal.

Then several lightning bolts shot simultaneously, and several Yin-Yang Realm Demons instantly turned to charcoal on the ground.

The two Demon Wolves immediately began devouring those ordinary soldiers. The Demon soldiers were swallowed one by one, unable to block them.

Some Demon soldiers immediately surrendered, kneeling and begging for mercy. But Lei Ming and the two Demon Wolves killed without hesitation. If they couldn't eat them, they slammed them into the Storage Ring to store.

In the blink of an eye, over two hundred were eliminated by Lei Ming and the Demon Wolves.

Ye Liuyun also projected pressure, intimidating the Demon Leader.

After Soul Search gathered the information, he thought the Leader would be useful, so he directly placed a Slave Seal on him, making him a servant to handle daily chores, preventing him and Lei Ming from revealing their tracks.

Then Ye Liuyun released another Yin-Yang Realm Demon Wolf as a mount for that Demon Leader.

The Demon Leader's name was Mu Zhangxing. After Ye Liuyun placed the Slave Seal on him, he voluntarily offered his Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun glanced at it and tossed it back. The contents were something even Lei Ming didn't fancy, so he cared even less.

"Lead the way to the Demon Sacred City," Ye Liuyun ordered him directly.

Later, Ye Liuyun reunited with him and Lei Ming, and with a blaze burned all the Demon soldiers' corpses to ash.

"First we'll go to the Demon Sacred City to seize the Magic Crystals there, provoking a war between the Demon Race and the Human Race, then we'll head to the Human Sacred City to snatch the Yin Fire!"

Ye Liuyun changed the plan on the spot. He thought, since they're all cultivation resources, having come this far, they shouldn't waste them.

He had just, after Soul Search, discovered that the Demon Race possessed a massive Magic Crystal with enormous energy, a sacred relic of the Demon Race. Both Lei Ming and he could use it for cultivation.

Mu Ranxing's family's status was neither high nor low, yet they happened to have the opportunity to approach that Magic Crystal.

Moreover, by acting as a Human to seize resources, he could incite a war between the Human Race and the Demon Race, creating an opportunity for him to snatch the Yin Fire.

The relationship between Human and Demon Nobility in this world was already extremely tense, only the lower‑rank Demons were unaware. This is why Mu Zhangxing and other Demons dared to cut down Humans.

They all believed that a great war between Human and Demon Nobility would soon erupt, and their actions were merely a small‑scale preemptive move.

The three traveled together. Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming had both been continuously absorbing Demon Qi for cultivation.

When the Demon Wolves grew tired, Ye Liuyun swapped in three more.

It was then that Mu Zhangxing learned that Ye Liuyun not only possessed great personal strength, but also commanded three thousand Demon Beasts.

The reason Ye Liuyun disclosed such details was merely to devise a plan with him to seize the Magic Crystal.

Mu Zhangxing also told Ye Liuyun, "Approaching that Magic Crystal is easy, but it is guarded by a Formation; it can't be taken lightly!"

Moreover, the Formation's power derives from that Magic Crystal. That Crystal is not an ordinary one; its power is terrifying, and it is said to allow many to cultivate to the Divine Realm…"

Ye Liuyun had long known this information through Soul Search and didn't want to hear his nonsense.

Before he finished, Ye Liuyun said straight away, "I have someone who can deal with the Formation, so you needn't worry about that. Just consider how to get me inside, and then bring the Magic Crystal out."
