Chapter 1984: Come Up With Another Plan

Lord Dongling has already received news that his men have clashed with the Chen family.

But there has been no further movement.

Further attempts to contact anyone have all failed.

Not long after, he received word that the Death Legion's main force had left the city, heading straight toward them.

"Bad! Those Martial Cultivators must have been eliminated.

Otherwise these Mercenaries wouldn't dare attack us."

Lord Dongling immediately realized he could not hold this place.

He still doesn't understand the Chen family's situation, but even the few ferocious beasts of the Death Legion at the Sixth Tier Late Stage are already beyond their ability to block.

Lord Dongling no longer hesitated and promptly requested aid from the dynasty.

At the same time, he arranged a small Warship with a thousand soldiers, ready for an early evacuation.

When he confirmed that the Death Legion's attack direction was straight for him, he immediately boarded the Warship and fled out early.

If he were late, the city might be surrounded, and he wouldn't be able to escape.

But he never expected that after running for a day, a Chen family strongman would catch up, damage the Warship, and scatter the soldiers.

He only escaped thanks to the soldiers' sacrificial cover, yet he was still being pursued by that strongman.

He was sprinting desperately when he suddenly saw an eighth‑tier Flying Boat land.

Moreover, two beautiful women descended to greet him.

"Now there's hope!"

He felt relieved that his luck had held out and hurried onto the Flying Boat.

But when he saw Ye Liuyun's pair of Golden Pupils, he realized he had been duped.

He was instantly restrained by Ye Liuyun and his clone using Soul power, and a Slave Seal was placed on him.

His Storage Ring was taken by Ye Liuyun, who confiscated all the resources he had amassed over the years.

"Return and keep your defeated troops in order, and attack the Profound Heaven Sect's territories for me!"

Ye Liuyun directly issued him a command: "Divine Crystal, continue supplying the dynasty.

But find a way to tell the dynasty that our misunderstanding has been resolved; in fact, the Profound Heaven Sect was the one sowing discord, so let the Profound Heaven Sect take the blame."

"Yes!"

Lord Dongling repeatedly agreed, disembarked the Flying Boat, and rushed back to his base to receive the defeated soldiers.

The city he originally occupied had almost no resistance and was directly breached by Ye Tiandao and He Lian Xiu's legion.

After the city fell, the Death Legion did not kill the surrendered soldiers but detained them, and once Lord Dongling returned, they handed the soldiers back to him.

At the same time, the half‑beast legion began its move, launching a massive invasion into the Profound Heaven Sect's territories, capturing many Martial Cultivators and sending them to Lord Dongling to replenish his forces.

He Lian Xiu also repeatedly struck, attacking several medium‑small Mercenary groups within the Profound Heaven Sect's territories.

However, when they went out, they wore Eastern Empire military uniforms, causing the Profound Heaven Sect to mistakenly think the Eastern Empire was severely short of troops and had come here to conscript strong men.

So they immediately sent envoys to negotiate with Lord Dongling, but they were intercepted and slain by Ye Liuyun leading a group of strongmen.

Now the Profound Heaven Sect was enraged and began sending people to retaliate, repeatedly striking the Eastern Empire's territories.

Lord Dongling kept the evidence, turned it against the Profound Heaven Sect, reported to the Eastern Empire, and simultaneously dispatched a large army to attack the Profound Heaven Sect.

Ye Liuyun and his companions disguised themselves as Lord Dongling's soldiers, covertly targeting the Profound Heaven Sect's Martial Cultivators.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun underestimated the relationship between these two major forces.

After the Eastern Empire and the Profound Heaven Sect's higher‑ups communicated, they quickly began strictly restraining subordinate forces on the border battlefield, preventing any rash actions.

Lord Dongling dared not defy orders and could only report to Ye Liuyun: "Now I can only withdraw my troops!"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that his own scheme would be so easily undone.

"The major powers are indeed entangled behind the scenes!"

Ye Liuyun's attempt to sow discord between them failed, so he must think of another way.

"You withdraw your troops; I'll send my people to occupy the surrounding forces first."

Ye Liuyun didn't expose Lord Dongling, but he directly dispatched men to seize all territories surrounding the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Martial Cultivators stationed here by the Profound Heaven Sect, after being attacked jointly by Lord Dongling and Ye Liuyun's forces, now lack the strength to retake them and can only send envoys to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.

Consequently, the leading Martial Cultivators they sent were all slain by Ye Liuyun, leaving only an Outer Sect Steward named Pang Xingwu, who was marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun.

Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned that the Profound Heaven Sect's chief administrator Ma Wencai had already appealed to the Sect for aid.

As for which people the Sect sent, they are currently unaware.

"Do you have any way for me to meet Ma Wencai?

I will first place a Slave Seal on him."

Ye Liuyun asked Pang Xingwu.

"Master, Chief Administrator Ma is at the Sixth Tier Late Stage.

Moreover, his Soul power is not weak; he can even challenge a Seventh Realm early‑stage Martial Cultivator."

Pang Xingwu said anxiously.

He fears Ye Liuyun cannot control Ma Wencai and would instead expose that a Slave Seal had been placed on him.

Ye Liuyun was already prepared.

He and his clone have recently, in battles against the Profound Heaven Sect, consumed a great deal of Soul power.

They have been deliberately strengthening this aspect of their strength, preparing reserves for confronting strong opponents.

Although his overall abilities are improving, it is clear they are still insufficient to handle Seventh Realm strongmen, so for now they must rely on Soul power as their long‑term asset.

Moreover, when he and his clone act together, their moves are virtually flawless.

Pang Xingwu, helpless, could only suggest that Ye Liuyun disguise himself as his subordinate and take them back.

Well, that's simple!

Ye Liuyun and his clone immediately used the Thousand Illusion Technique, transforming into the appearances of his two subordinates.

Ye Liuyun's current use of the Thousand Illusion Technique can maintain the appearance change for a day, which is already long enough.

There's also this kind of secret technique?

This way there's definitely no problem!

Pang Xingwu also looked on, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Ye Liuyun and his clone immediately swapped those two people's Storage Rings, then followed Pang Xingwu rushing back to the Profound Heaven Sect's station.

After Pang Xingwu returned, he immediately took them to report the situation to Ma Wencai.

Manager Ma! That Ye Liuyun is too bold, actually wanting to kill us!

Pang Xingwu immediately complained to Ma Wencai upon meeting him.

Is he tired of living?

Ma Wencai had no suspicion, but also felt Ye Liuyun was overly arrogant, making him very angry.

Ye Liuyun and his clone, seeing no outsiders nearby, immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack.

The two of them, with four souls, Ma Wencai couldn't block it at all, and was directly implanted with a Slave Seal.

A Martial Cultivator specializing in Soul cultivation is originally the hardest to deal with among Martial Cultivators! And Ye Liuyun is not only powerful in Soul, his method of implanting a Slave Seal is also very special, fast enough that people can't even react.

Ma Wencai also had a grim face, secretly thinking: 'With such powerful Divine Soul Power and such profound secret technique, hardly anyone in the Profound Heaven Sect can defend against him!'
