Chapter 2092: No Opportunity

Ye Liuyun's duplicate thought for a moment, then said to him: "Actually I kind of want you to kill this substitute! How about this: you use Divine Soul Power to attack him; if you can kill him, I'll give you the antidote!"

Zhang Yun Peng was speechless for a moment.

This was clearly to trick him into using Spiritual Soul Attack, letting him release his Divine Soul Power, making it easy for that substitute to control him.

He had previously seen that substitute use Spiritual Soul Attack to subdue many Martial Cultivators.

But he was also fairly confident in his own Divine Soul Power.

Moreover, he had no choice now; he had to obey Ye Liuyun completely.

"Do you keep your word?"

Zhang Yun Peng asked.

"I will definitely keep it!"

The duplicate confirmed.

Zhang Yun Peng, seeing that he agreed, immediately released his Soul, charging into the substitute's Sea of Consciousness.

"Ha ha, done! Really impressive!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun reverted to his original appearance, no longer pretending to be a substitute.

The duplicate also donned the Invisibility Cloak, hiding its form again.

Zhang Yun Peng's Soul, after being enveloped by the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, was marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun.

He looked at Ye Liuyun's Soul and finally understood.

"You're not a substitute?"

"You got it right!"

Ye Liuyun's Soul smiled and returned his Soul back.

Now, a Martial Cultivator of the Ninth Realm stood beside Ye Liuyun.

Although it was the Ninth Layer Early Stage, it was still his strongest power now!

Zhang Yun Peng's guts turned green with regret.

Had he known earlier that he had grabbed Ye Liuyun, not a substitute, he would never have let go, no matter what he said.

"Regret is too late now!"

Ye Liuyun smiled and walked over, absorbing the poison source inside him.

"Master!"

After detoxification, Zhang Yun Peng was also controlled by Ye Liuyun, obediently acknowledging his master.

"Let's go, first go to your clan and have a look.

There are still a few Eighth Realm strong ones! I'm currently in the hiring phase, I need them to sell their lives for me!"

Ye Liuyun said directly.

Zhang Yun Peng knew he had implicated his family, but Ye Liuyun ignored his thoughts and only focused on expanding his own power.

Moreover, the Zhang family is a major force monopolizing clothing materials in the Eastern Region, so Ye Liuyun couldn't let them go.

Originally, he and Xuan Yuan Ling thought clothing wasn't that important; Martial Cultivators value elixirs, medicinal herbs, and cultivation resources more.

They couldn't handle that many at once, so they could only pick the essentials.

But now that they've encountered this, it's even better if Ye Liuyun can solve it on the spot.

Zhang Yun Peng brought Ye Liuyun back to the family, and Ye Liuyun then placed Slave Seals on several Eighth Realm strong ones in their clan, bringing the entire Zhang family under his control.

The Zhang family had one Late Eighth Realm Martial Cultivator, two Mid-Eighth Realm Martial Cultivators, and six Eighth Tier Early Stage Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun left only one Mid-Eighth Realm Martial Cultivator to act as a stationed guard, while the rest he kept with him.

"How did you cultivate? You're not old, yet your realm is the highest within your clan?"

On the road, Ye Liuyun also started chatting with Zhang Yun Peng.

"Yes, master, when I was in the Seventh Realm, I went to the Alien Battlefield, scavenged and killed an injured Gold-armored Alien Tribe member, obtaining many valuable resources, so my strength rose quickly!"

Ye Liuyun laughed, "No wonder, it was fate! I guess you didn't expect that this opportunity was prepared for you to meet me!"

Zhang Yun Peng was speechless for a moment.

If he hadn't been fooled by Ye Liuyun's duplicate and the Thousand Illusion Technique, he wouldn't have fallen for it!

Ye Liuyun was very pleased, pulling Zhang Yun Peng and several of his clan members into the Space World, and hurried toward the Profound Heaven Sect.

But before he reached the Profound Heaven Sect, his Divine Sense detected He Wenjin, one of the three elders of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

He Wenjin searched around but couldn't find Ye Liuyun, assuming he had returned to the Profound Heaven Sect, so he stayed here.

Ye Liuyun didn't know He Wenjin, and those Martial Cultivators could only tell Ye Liuyun that only this few were sent this time.

But he discovered He Wenjin's realm was after the Ninth Layer Early Stage, finding his presence here odd, so he immediately asked the newly captured Martial Cultivators to condense his image with spiritual energy for them to see, confirming his identity.

The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance has eight elders, each responsible for different affairs.

These three elders are in charge of managing external forces.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and decided to eliminate He Wenjin.

He wasn't confident he could remove the Soul Defense Treasure of the three elders, and if he gave such a master the chance, they would relay the information back to the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

Many Martial Cultivators said He Wenjin was very steady and scheming, so Ye Liuyun didn't want to take the risk.

In fact, He Wenjin also noticed Ye Liuyun at this time, but he silently waited for Ye Liuyun to approach.

However, Ye Liuyun gave him no chance to act first; he directly ordered his duplicate to fire a white Technique from the Golden Pupil, melting his brain away.

He Wenjin only saw a flash of white Technique shine on his face, then knew nothing, dying instantly without even a chance to utter a word.

"These three-eyed ones of the Foreign Tribe are truly formidable! I wonder how the outcome would be if I ever meet a three-eyed strong one of the Foreign Tribe!"

Ye Liuyun was also very surprised by the effect of these three-eyed ones.

Using this move as his trump card, he was practically invincible.

Even a Martial Cultivator of the Ninth Realm could be instantly killed.

He didn't dare reveal this move, otherwise the entire Divine Realm would want to gouge out his eyes.

Ye Liuyun previously took off his storage ring and threw the corpse to the Magic Vine to be devoured.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he entered the Profound Heaven Sect.

As soon as Ye Liuyun returned to the Profound Heaven Sect, it immediately caused a sensation.

Yao Dong Lai and Lu Yi also rushed straight to Dan Hall to express their stance to Ye Liuyun, declaring that the Profound Heaven Sect would fully support Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had already anticipated this outcome, so he didn't pay it much heed.

This time he came mainly to discuss with Jin Qing Song, asking him to introduce the heads of the Alchemist Alliance and the Artifact Refining Alliance.

After understanding Ye Liuyun's intentions, Jin Qing Song also directly told Ye Liuyun: "The Alchemist Alliance, don't worry—I am the Vice Alliance Leader there, and I will definitely support you."

As for the Artifact Refining Alliance, I'll take you to find Wu Kun—he's more familiar with those people than I am.

Jin Qing Song brought Ye Liuyun to find Wu Kun, and Lu Yi followed along to help plead.

Coincidentally, Wu Kun was teaching the Liu Xing Formation when Ye Liuyun greeted Liu Xing and then explained his purpose.

"Are you trying to steal business from the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance?"

Upon hearing that, Wu Kun was also quite surprised.

Although he had also heard that the Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain had declared their stance, he still felt that, in business matters, Ye Liuyun was no match for the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun could not contend with the strength of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

Ye Liuyun gave him a detailed analysis of his own strength, but Wu Kun simply wouldn't believe it.

"Do you still have a Ninth Realm Martial Cultivator up your sleeve?"

Ye Liuyun, helpless, had Zhang Yun Peng cover his face and then released him.

Only then did Wu Kun believe.

Moreover, Lu Yi hadn't expected that Ye Liuyun actually had a Ninth Realm expert by his side.

"That one is still not enough!"

Wu Kun still clung to his opinion.

Ye Liuyun couldn't show off too much to him, nor could he boast about having just killed a Ninth Realm Martial Cultivator, so he could only gradually wear him down.

"Master, I believe in him!"

At that moment, Liu Xing suddenly sent a mental transmission to Wu Kun, urging Wu Kun to agree to Ye Liuyun.
