Chapter 1688: The Unheard
When he meets a strong Corpse Demon, Ye Liuyun fights it with real weapons.
When the opponent is weak, he directly eradicates it together with his clone using curses.
When there are too many Corpse Demons, they use Thousand Illusion Technique to transform into the appearance of the Foreign Tribe, disperse the Corpse Demons, and then defeat them one by one.
After traveling for more than ten days, the power of his Thousand Illusion Technique and curses has grown, and their duration has lengthened.
At this time, Qiong Qi has also forged four sets of armor for Ye Liuyun, letting him put them on directly.
"That's all; the Giant Lizard's scale armor is all used up!"
Qiong Qi tells Ye Liuyun.
"Oh!"
Ye Liuyun replies with a nod, thinking to himself that since Qiong Qi said they're used up, he must still have at least two spare sets in his hands.
"How much farther?"
Qiong Qi asks Ye Liuyun again.
Ye Liuyun takes out the divination disc and says, "Judging by the strength of the needle, we should have only gone half the way!"
The divination disc can only indicate direction; it cannot show distance.
But Ye Liuyun can roughly estimate the distance from the needle's intensity.
"We need to speed up a bit! Once the Foreign Tribe takes the Primordial Power here, this world will collapse."
Qiong Qi says to Ye Liuyun.
"Is that so?
Then let's hurry over faster!"
Ye Liuyun immediately recalls his clone to the Space World, and he and Qiong Qi begin racing at full speed.
He puts on the You Tian Boots, and his speed is already faster than Qiong Qi's.
After more than ten days, they find that the Corpse Demons ahead become increasingly dense.
Moreover, it is clear that these Corpse Demons include some at the Tianzun Realm, each team consisting of a dozen Corpse Demons of varying realms, with similar strength, as if on patrol duty.
"Probably ahead is a Foreign Tribe encirclement; perhaps the world's Primordial Power and Human Martial Cultivators are within it."
Ye Liuyun speculates.
To make traveling easier, the two often transform into the appearance of the Foreign Tribe.
Not only do they encounter no Corpse Demon obstruction, they also conveniently command Corpse Demons to kill other Corpse Demon squads.
Those Corpse Demons have lost their sentience; they don't consider why two Foreign Tribe appeared or why they are ordered to slay their own kind—they only know to obey commands.
Thus Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi have been proceeding smoothly.
But suddenly, their Divine Sense perceives that two Human Martial Cultivators, a man and a woman, at the later stage of Earth Sovereign realm, accompanied by a Tianzun early‑stage leopard, are being chased by three squads of Corpse Demons.
Moreover, two more Corpse Demon squads have also sensed the battle's ripple and are rushing here.
If they don't intervene, those two humans and the beast are certain to die.
"Rescue them; we can also inquire about the situation here!"
Qiong Qi suggests.
Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi immediately transform into the Foreign Tribe form, stopping those Corpse Demons from pursuing the two.
At the same time, they order them to kill the two incoming Corpse Demon squads.
However, the two humans and the beast are ungrateful.
Upon seeing the Foreign Tribe, they immediately charge to fight Ye Liuyun and the others desperately.
Helplessly, Qiong Qi has to knock them out.
Ye Liuyun, to quickly obtain information, also initiates Soul Search.
After acquiring the information, Ye Liuyun tells Qiong Qi about the situation here.
"Indeed, ahead is where the world's Primordial Power resides.
Nearly two hundred thousand Martial Cultivators guard here against the Foreign Tribe.
But they don't know how many remain now.
These people were dispatched a year ago to search for the remaining Human Race Martial Cultivators.
When they encounter Human Race Martial Cultivators outside, they bring them here to gather.
Now they can no longer find Human Race Martial Cultivators, so they returned here, not expecting the place to be so tightly guarded by Corpse Demons.
Their party originally had five people and two beasts, consisting of an Elder and disciples from a Sect.
Not long ago they were discovered by Corpse Demons; the other three people and one beast were killed in battle, leaving only the three of them.
The male disciple is named Feng Biao, the female disciple is named Mu Yuqing.
"A Foreign Tribe is rushing over to investigate; what should we do?"
Just as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, Qiong Qi noticed an anomaly.
Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense didn't probe as far as his.
"How many?
What realm?"
Ye Liuyun asks directly.
"One, Earth Sovereign realm!"
Qiong Qi replies.
"We transform into Corpse Demon form and take the chance to kill it!"
Ye Liuyun says, and first transforms into Corpse Demon form.
Qiong Qi also follows, transforming into Corpse Demon form, standing guard here.
At this moment, the three squads of Corpse Demons that Ye Liuyun had previously driven away had already annihilated the other two squads of Corpse Demons.
The Foreign Tribe that had rushed over also found it odd and immediately communicated with them.
Learning that a Foreign Tribe had given them the order, it became even more surprised and instantly led the three squads of Foreign Tribe here.
From afar it saw two First Rank of Heavenly Venerable Corpse Demons standing beside the two humans and a beast, and it did not notice any Foreign Tribe.
Yet those two Corpse Demons did not try to devour the two humans and the beast, which made it extremely bewildered.
It immediately tried to control those two Corpse Demons with Divine Sense to inquire about the situation.
Those two Corpse Demons were, of course, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi.
But the two of them were not subject at all to its Divine Sense control.
The Foreign Tribe's Divine Sense control was to them like a Divine Sense Transmission Voice.
Yet they could not understand the Foreign Tribe's language, did not know what it meant, and could only stand dumbly in place.
This instantly aroused the Foreign Tribe's alertness.
He immediately commanded the Corpse Demons around him to encircle Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi.
Afterwards, he dared to approach.
"You eliminate the Corpse Demons; that Foreign Tribe is mine!"
Ye Liuyun used Transmission Voice to assign tasks to Qiong Qi and him.
Then he directly attacked the Foreign Tribe with a spell.
The Foreign Tribe instantly sensed something wrong; the Golden Light on its body was stronger than the flame's power, burning its Physical Body and Soul.
It turned to flee, but Ye Liuyun instantly shifted his duplicate in front of it; the two of them cast spells together and launched a Spiritual Soul Attack so the Foreign Tribe could not relay messages to its comrades.
At the same time, Qiong Qi released bursts of flame, scorching all nearby Corpse Demons to ash.
The Corpse Demons' wailing awakened the stunned Feng Biao, Mu Yuqing and the leopard.
They looked at the scene before them, utterly puzzled.
Having dealt with the Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons for so long, such a thing was unheard of.
"What's happening?
Where are those two Foreign Tribe members?
Have these two Corpse Demons gone mad?"
Feng Biao asked Mu Yuqing in confusion.
Mu Yuqing grabbed the leopard that was about to charge and bite, and sent a Transmission Voice: "Everyone stay still, observe first!"
After the Foreign Tribe was destroyed, its Soul power was devoured by the duplicate.
The surrounding Corpse Demons were also burned to ash.
"More Corpse Demons are coming; we must quickly relocate!"
Qiong Qi reminded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also said to Mu Yuqing and the others: "If you don't want to die at the hands of Corpse Demons, come with us!"
Having said that, he, his duplicate, and Qiong Qi left first.
Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi both appear as Corpse Demons, but the duplicate is a normal Human Martial Cultivator.
He is merely wearing armor that hides his face.
