Chapter 2142: Infiltrating the Spirit Clan

~7 min read 1,256 words

"Hmm, then I'll go in first and speak later!"

Ye Liuyun, holding the maid's Token, successfully infiltrated the Spirit Clan and returned to Mu Lingxi's residence.

"Master, Qing Feng previously had his own residence!"

Mu Lingxi reminded Ye Liuyun.

She thought that the two of them living together was not very convenient.

"No need."

"I'm safer here with you."

"If anyone sees you, they'll say I'm wounded and I'm convalescing here with you."

Ye Liuyun instructed her.

He didn't think that much either.

He infiltrated the Spirit Clan's interior; safety concerns are definitely the top priority.

"Yes!"

Mu Lingxi could only agree, but she worried inside that Ye Liuyun might have her serve as a night attendant.

"You're overthinking it; I have no such intention!"

Ye Liuyun immediately learned her thoughts through the Slave Seal.

"Oh!"

Mu Lingxi hurriedly ran off, her face flushed.

"Send me the Spirit Clan's terrain map!"

Ye Liuyun used the Slave Seal to send a Transmission Voice to her.

After receiving the map Mu Lingxi sent him, he also discovered that within the Spirit Clan's territory, there were many places Mu Lingxi hadn't visited, leaving large blank areas on the map.

So Ye Liuyun had the five Elders he had subjugated each transmit the maps from their Sea of Consciousness to him.

Ye Liuyun overlaid the five maps, yet there were still some locations that even those Elders hadn't visited.

"What are the places you haven't been to?"

Ye Liuyun asked them.

"The largest area is the tombs of successive Spirit Clan great beings.

There's also a piece that is the Spirit Clan's holy land.

These two places are ones we cannot enter under any circumstances.

The smallest area is the residence of the Spirit Clan's core Elders and some reclusive great beings.

Without a summons, we cannot go in."

Those Elders replied to Ye Liuyun.

"How many Martial Cultivators of the Ninth Realm does the Spirit Clan have?"

Ye Liuyun continued to ask them.

Someone told Ye Liuyun: "We know of over thirty Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators.

But there are some hidden great beings; we don't know the exact number.

Ninth Layer Mid Stage Martial Cultivators could number one or two hundred.

As for Ninth Layer Early Stage, we haven't tallied them."

"That many?"

"How come I've never seen any?"

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the Spirit Clan to have so many strong ones; the numbers far exceeded his expectations.

"These strong ones usually cultivate at their residences.

Generally, without a clan summons, they don't reveal themselves easily!"

They explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun had no clue how to eliminate so many strong Martial Cultivators, so he decided to contact Liang Xue first.

"I've already entered the Spirit Clan's outer gate!"

Ye Liuyun told Liang Xue.

"Ah?"

Liang Xue was also startled by Ye Liuyun.

She was excited and wanted to see Ye Liuyun, but she quickly calmed down and worried for him.

"You're being way too reckless! Don't come looking for me; the Spirit Clan has too many strong ones, and strong ones patrol here often!"

Ye Liuyun reassured Liang Xue: "It's fine; I'll use Thousand Illusion Technique to assume a female form and meet you.

Do you have any suitable targets to recommend?

Those you usually want to eliminate, or those you despise?"

Liang Xue, knowing Ye Liuyun intended to use Divine Soul Power to control people, thought for a moment and asked Ye Liuyun: "I have a maid who's been constantly watching me.

But she has a Spirit Clan Token; how would you act against her?"

"I have a way; you just need to get her to come looking for me."

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"No problem! Where are you?"

Liang Xue asked.

Ye Liuyun also told Liang Xue his location and that he would transform into Qing Feng's image.

"Just say that Qing Feng bought you something and ask her to help retrieve it."

Ye Liuyun suggested Liang Xue.

"But I'm afraid she reported to the Steward Elder before she saw you!"

Liang Xue still felt a bit uneasy.

"It's fine, trying it out is also okay.

If we don't get a chance to act, we'll think of another way!"

Ye Liuyun, however, wasn't as nervous as Liang Xue.

He had already made up his mind: once exposed, he would release all the Foreign Tribe, unleash a massive slaughter, and then vanish and withdraw.

Not long after, a maid named Xin Hui came here.

Seeing Mu Lingxi, she proudly said, "The Holy Maiden sent me to fetch Qing Feng for something; you let him come out to see me!"

Mu Lingxi, following Ye Liuyun's request, led her inside: "Qing Feng is injured, recuperating in the room; miss, please follow me!"

After speaking, Mu Lingxi led the way ahead.

Xin Hui hesitated a bit, but seeing Mu Lingxi walk in without looking back, she reluctantly followed.

"What a hassle!"

She muttered softly under her breath.

Every member of the Spirit Clan's room has a Formation that prevents probing.

Especially the women's quarters, the Formation is considerably stronger.

When Xin Hui entered the room, those outside could not know what was happening inside.

Mu Lingxi shut the door, and Ye Liuyun immediately ordered his clone to act, firing a Technique at Xin Hui; the energy was precisely controlled, carving a large hole in the maid's head without piercing through.

Then, Ye Liuyun promptly tossed her corpse into the Space World and instantly transformed into the woman's appearance.

"How is it?

Does it look like her?"

Ye Liuyun asked Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi was also stunned.

Ye Liuyun's voice and his proud demeanor while speaking were both exquisitely lifelike.

"What kind of secret art can transform so accurately?"

After regaining his senses, Mu Lingxi also asked Ye Liuyun.

"The likeness in demeanor and movement comes from observation, not from secret art…"

Ye Liuyun hadn't finished speaking when his Divine Sense suddenly sensed the pressure of a Ninefold Strong looming here.

He immediately instructed Mu Lingxi, "Remember, Qing Feng never came here; he died fighting outside!"

"Mu Lingxi, what are you up to in there?"

A voice sounded from outside.

And as soon as that person arrived, he walked straight to the room and pushed the door open.

"Steward Xiao?"

Mu Lingxi feigned surprise, "What happened?"

"Huh, where is Qing Feng?"

Steward Xiao didn't answer Mu Lingxi's question, but directly asked him.

"Qing Feng died in battle!"

Mu Lingxi replied.

"Then why did you bring Xin Hui into the room?"

Steward Xiao continued to ask.

"Qing Feng had a relic to give Xin Hui! If I don't let her into the house, am I supposed to just stand outside and speak?"

Mu Lingxi deliberately retorted.

Steward Xiao looked at Xin Hui, and Xin Hui nodded.

"Oh, I see! Hehe, that was my misunderstanding!"

Steward Xiao explained somewhat apologetically.

"Steward Xiao, what did you misunderstand?

Since when did the Spirit Clan decree that the Steward Elder may freely enter a female Elder's room?"

Mu Lingxi seized the opportunity to act.

"Well, hehe, Xin Hui is a maid of the Holy Maiden; I was just worried she might get into trouble!"

Steward Xiao explained.

"Worried she might get into trouble?

Are you suspecting me?"

"Today you must explain clearly! Otherwise, I'll claim you trespassed the female Elder's room without cause."

"Even if you're a Steward, you don't have that authority, right?"

Mu Lingxi, however, wouldn't let go, raised his voice, causing some disciples outside to glance into the room from afar.
