Chapter 1805: Controlling Yin Souls

Ye Liuyun suddenly snapped out a palm strike, hitting from afar the Formation where the skeleton stood.

He knows that skeleton has no good intentions and finds its endless chatter rather annoying.

"Boom"—with that palm, Ye Liuyun seemed to strike an invisible energy shield.

Then, within the Formation where the skeleton stood, several more ferocious skeletal phantoms appeared and began attacking the skeleton.

"Damn you, you dare hurt me!"

The skeleton waved its dagger to defend while cursing Ye Liuyun.

"If you speak again, I'll use even stronger power to blast your Formation and see which of us can endure!"

Ye Liuyun, unfazed, threatened.

Sure enough, the skeleton no longer dared to speak.

But the dagger in its hand seemed able to suppress those skeletal phantoms, quickly eliminating them, then it sat down again.

It made it impossible to tell whether it was dead or alive.

Ye Liuyun merely glanced at its dagger, yet had no intention to act.

"Pervert, is everything that skeleton said true?"

Xiao Yunfang curiously asked Ye Liuyun.

"It should be true; indeed there are many treasures and resources here, and also many dangers.

But what it said about cooperating with us is just trying to trick us into letting it out!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

In fact, he had discovered treasures and resources here more than once.

However, powerful Formations protect those treasures, so he dared not take them.

He estimated that if he tried to take them, he would either be killed or, like this skeleton, become trapped in the Formation.

"How do you know?

Didn't it promise you could sign a Divine Soul Contract?"

Xiao Yunfang retorted.

"If it had that ability, it would have emerged already and wouldn't wait for us?"

Ye Liuyun disdainfully said, "Even if there are treasures, I can't do anything, but it can?"

Just as Ye Liuyun finished speaking, a layer of mist began to rise gradually in Mi Lin.

"Yin Qi?"

Ye Liuyun sensed it and found it was the aura of Yin Souls.

He estimated that Yin Souls would appear here at night.

Only then did he remember to contact Shura and Zhuge Feiyu, but found that the Divine Realm could not reach them at all.

But he wasn't overly worried.

At worst, he could use teleportation to the Black Tower and borrow a Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

He immediately produced a Defense Array Plate, covering the three of them within it.

"Ha ha, useless! You won't survive tonight! Consider cooperating with me!"

When the skeleton saw Ye Liuyun also start defending, it began speaking again.

Ye Liuyun drew the Demon Slaying Sword and, midair, slashed at it again.

That slash passed straight through his Defense Array Plate and struck its Formation.

This time, four more skeletal phantoms appeared and attacked the skeleton.

"I…" The skeleton began to curse Ye Liuyun, but suddenly shut its mouth.

Fearing Ye Liuyun would slash a few more times.

"Keep nagging me, and see if I don't bury you!"

Ye Liuyun, on the contrary, threatened it.

The skeleton held its breath and fought those skeletal shadows.

This time, it also suffered many injuries, its bones broken by those skeletal shadows.

In the end, it risked its life to eliminate those shadows, then huddled on the ground to tend its wounds, no longer daring to speak.

The mist in Mi Lin grew denser, and the sky turned completely dark.

Soon after, Ye Liuyun could only see the skeleton by relying on his Golden Pupil.

Ye Liuyun also discovered that many Yin Souls erupted from underground within Mi Lin, wandering everywhere and gradually gathering together.

Before long, the increasingly numerous Yin Souls began surging toward them.

But after seeing Ye Liuyun, they sensed his aura and dared not attack them.

Ye Liuyun is, after all, the Lord of the Underworld.

Although this is not the Underworld, the aura on Ye Liuyun, having been approved by the Underworld, still persists.

How could these Yin Souls dare to attack the Lord of the Underworld?

Thus, after they rushed forward, they all bowed and paid respects to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun himself vaguely guessed it might be related to his own status.

But Xiao Yunfang and another Martial Cultivator, who had been extremely nervous, were now bewildered.

"He can actually control Yin Souls?"

Ye Liuyun gave them no explanation, but instead released his Soul and performed a Soul Search on a Yin Soul to learn why they remained in this Mi Lin.

"What?

Is there a Yin Soul reincarnation site in the City of No Crime?"

After Ye Liuyun performed a Soul Search and obtained the information, he couldn't help but be greatly startled.

These Yin Souls are all gathered from the vicinity of the Border Battlefield.

They only know, by sensing the Yin Souls, that this place is a Reincarnation Realm.

Living people do not have this feeling.

But once all the Yin Souls arrive, they will be trapped here for a month, serving as part of this Formation to attack any Martial Cultivator who enters.

Therefore, the Yin Souls here actually know nothing about the situation inside the City of Innocence.

Ye Liuyun did not waste these Yin Souls; he immediately ordered them to search for treasures for him.

For these Yin Souls, some Formations affect them, while others do not.

Thus having them fetch treasures and resources is far more convenient for Ye Liuyun.

Immediately, some Yin Souls turned their gaze toward the skeleton beside them.

That Formation is the one they can enter.

"Go, bring me its dagger and Storage Ring."

Ye Liuyun commanded.

The skeleton could not see Ye Liuyun, yet it could hear his voice.

"Who are you talking to?

Are you trying to take my dagger?"

It couldn't contain itself and asked aloud.

Ye Liuyun instantly raised his hand and slashed a few more times, causing the Formation to spawn numerous skeletal phantoms that began fighting the skeleton.

Some Yin Souls waited a moment; after the skeleton was wounded, they rushed in, quickly retrieved the dagger and Storage Ring, and placed them before Ye Liuyun's Formation.

Other Yin Souls went around collecting treasures and brought them back to Ye Liuyun.

About two hours later, all these Yin Souls returned together.

Ye Liuyun didn't need them to speak; with a single Soul Search he knew their activity period was ending, and if they didn't return, they'd encounter Monster Beasts in Mi Lin.

So Ye Liuyun ordered them to go back and gathered all the treasures they had collected.

He kept that pitch‑black dagger for his duplicate.

The dagger is a sixth‑tier treasure, entirely matte black, its material resembling a special ore.

Yet it is extraordinarily sharp and can instantly erase an opponent's Soul, making it perfect for assassinations.

The various other resources are also extremely valuable.

Ye Liuyun obtained so many treasures effortlessly, and was naturally very pleased.

Xiao Yunfang and another Martial Cultivator were very curious and asked Ye Liuyun how he did it.

"Of course it was my charisma that conquered those Yin Souls!"

Ye Liuyun could only blurt out a nonsense excuse.

"Tch! You're a lecherous scoundrel, you have no charisma!"

Xiao Yunfang obviously didn't believe him.

The other Martial Cultivator also didn't believe him.

But Ye Liuyun said nothing, and they had no way to find out.

Soon, a beast roar echoed throughout Mi Lin.

From afar, occasional battle cries could be heard, uncertain whether Monster Beasts were fighting again.
