Chapter 1990

After Ji Wujang sent a transmission to the Ghost King Grandmaster, Ye Liuyun also familiarized himself with the Grandmaster's soul‑control method, and then helped Ji Wujang dissolve the Grandmaster's Divine Soul Contract.

Now Ji Wujang has become completely a slave under Ye Liuyun's control.

"Is the armor you're wearing gilded plate armor?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"Yes, master!"

Ji Wujang reported truthfully.

"Take it off!"

Ye Liuyun directly ordered the gilded plate armor removed and gave it to Wu Qingcheng.

He hadn't expected to seize a piece of gilded plate armor from this fellow.

"It seems the eastern region is indeed prosperous!"

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly.

Then Ye Liuyun took Ji Wujang's escape gear—a pair of Cloud‑Climbing Boots and a defensive shield.

He gave the boots to Ye Tiandao and kept the shield for He Lian Xiu.

Ye Liuyun also took Ji Wujang's Storage Ring and stripped it of all resources and treasures.

He then dispatched Ji Wujang, having him control zombies to intercept the Martial Cultivators reinforcing the Profound Heaven Sect, intercepting as many as possible.

"Yes!"

Ji Wujang wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the blink of an eye, he lost even his defensive gear, became utterly destitute, and now had to risk his life for Ye Liuyun.

Had they known Ye Liuyun was this powerful, they wouldn't have been careless, would have brought more Martial Cultivators, perhaps avoiding capture.

Now it's too late to argue; they can only obey Ye Liuyun completely.

In the eastern Royal City, the Ghost King Grandmaster had blood oozing from his mouth, a grim expression, and was using a Transmission Talisman to summon strong Martial Cultivators.

He indeed followed Ye Liuyun's request, not directly placing a bounty on Ye Liuyun by the eastern dynasty.

His Divine Soul cultivation to such strength was hard‑won.

As long as there is any hope, he does not wish to waste it.

As for Ji Wujang, he is indeed his beloved disciple, so he intends to rescue him if possible.

He does not know that his Divine Soul has already been devoured.

Since his Divine Soul rushed into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, the connection was severed, and he knows nothing of what happened afterward.

Therefore he merely gathered some forces and strong allies under his control, preparing to lead a team himself to seek revenge on Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun incorporated Ye Tiandao's Spearhead Legion into the Space World for cultivation.

The half‑beast legion remained stationed at the border, watching for incoming Martial Cultivator squads.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun also ordered Lord Dongling to lead troops and excavate the eastern dynasty's two Divine Crystal Veins.

Since relations have soured, keeping the two veins is useless; he simply seized the eastern dynasty's territory, and the soldiers instantly became captives of the Death Legion.

Ye Liuyun himself moved into the city where Lord Dongling is stationed, to prevent the upcoming battle from spilling into the City of Death.

Moreover, this location is closer to the Profound Heaven Sect, making it convenient for him to strike at their reinforcements.

This destructive mining proceeded at great speed; by the time Ye Liuyun arrived at Lord Dongling's place, both Divine Crystal Veins had already been extracted.

Ye Liuyun immediately buried the two veins within his own Space World for later use.

A few days later, Ji Wujang reported that the Profound Heaven Sect's reinforcements had arrived.

He intercepted them, killing only a few ordinary disciples and Elders.

"Master, their Sword‑Wielding Elder is too powerful.

Even a dozen zombies of Fifth and Sixth Layer realms cannot restrain him."

Ji Wujang reported to Ye Liuyun: "Moreover, these people carry items that defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks, so such attacks are ineffective."

"Understood! Just have the zombies keep harassing them."

Ye Liuyun replied and immediately rushed to the Profound Heaven Sect's base.

Even if they all carry items that defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks, Ye Liuyun still has a way to deal with them.

He located Ma Wencai and brought him into the Space World.

He himself used the Thousand Illusion Technique to assume Ma Wencai's appearance, letting an invisible clone follow him, awaiting the chance to confront those of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Upon arriving here, these people will certainly first inspect the stationed Martial Cultivators' Divine Souls to see if anyone is controlled.

Ye Liuyun plans to plant a Slave Seal on their Divine Souls the moment they release them.

He learned this technique from the Grandmaster's memories.

The Grandmaster had done this before, and it never failed.

Sure enough, the Profound Heaven Sect's Sword‑Wielding Elder, along with several Elders and disciples, was pursued by zombies all the way.

After arriving here, without even catching his breath, they first performed a Soul Search on Ma Wencai to confirm he wasn't controlled.

Fearing a counterattack from Ma Wencai, the Sword‑Wielding Elder also dared not be careless, releasing both Divine Souls.

As a result, once they entered Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, they were controlled, a Slave Seal was planted, and then they were released back by Ye Liuyun.

The Sword‑Wielding Elder felt deeply aggrieved!

He was clearly a strong Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator, yet he didn't expect to fall into Ye Liuyun's hands before even engaging his opponent.

Then, when the Sword‑Wielding Elder inspected the others, it was merely a formality.

Now they're all allies; he certainly won't expose them.

The other Elders and the Holy Son, seeing that the Sword‑Wielding Elder's inspection revealed no issues, also relaxed.

The Sword‑Wielding Elder instructed: "Disciples, go into the Secret Realm and train for ten days."

I consulted the Elders on how to act.

"After ten days, we will act again."

"Yes!"

Several Holy Sons and disciples answered in agreement, and were led in to enter the Secret Realm.

Ye Liuyun and the Sword‑wielding Elder waited until the disciples had all entered the Secret Realm, then began to control the other Elders one by one.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun released Ma Wencai, and then placed Slave Seals on several Holy Sons inside the Secret Realm, controlling them.

Ye Liuyun searched the Storage Rings of these reinforcements one by one, and also gathered many resources.

"Sword Young Master, you really are despicable! Last time we let you go, and this time you came right to us!"

When Ye Liuyun examined the Sword Young Master's Storage Ring and saw there was little inside, he immediately mocked him.

This reinforcement originally did not include the Sword Young Master.

It was because he was determined to kill Ye Liuyun in revenge that he begged two other Holy Sons to bring him along.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived here, they were completely wiped out.

"Plop"—he immediately knelt before Ye Liuyun, begging for mercy, fearing Ye Liuyun would kill him in anger.

Ye Liuyun calmly said, "Keeping you alive is more useful than killing you.

If you want to stay alive, be a good dog for me! Otherwise, I could end your dog‑life at any moment!"

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for the mercy, master! I will definitely be a good dog!"

The Sword Young Master completely lost his usual composure, kneeling and flattering Ye Liuyun, making the others' hair stand on end.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and decided to let them go into the Secret Realm for a trial, so that these Holy Sons would have an explanation when they return to their Sect.
