Chapter 2154: Inspection Envoy

Strong Soul Cultivators' premonitions are often very accurate.

So Bai Su never resisted, was smoothly subjugated by Ye Liuyun, and disclosed her mission.

"But the Divine Realm already has a passage that has been opened to the Underworld, and the Underworld has begun receiving the Divine Realm's Yin Souls!"

Zhuge Feiyu doesn't exactly disbelieve Bai Su; he merely doubts the function of the Soul‑Calming Mountain.

Bai Su, under the control of the Hundred‑Refined Soul Array, could not lie.

"I also sensed that! It's just that those Divine Soul Powers aren't strong."

The purpose of the Soul‑Calming Mountain is mainly to suppress the Souls of the Central Region.

Bai Su replied.

"Do you know where the other passage between the Underworld and the Divine Realm is?"

Ye Liuyun asked Bai Su.

"According to the Underworld God earlier, it's under the control of the Spirit Clan in the east."

Bai Su answered clearly.

"Then it should be inside the Spirit Clan's sacred site or its tomb!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, linking it to the matter of the Spirit Clan's holy maiden, and felt that Liang Xue was in greater danger.

"I think leaving the Soul‑Calming Mountain here serves no purpose.

Better to return the Soul‑Calming Mountain to the Underworld."

Zhuge Feiyu suggested to Ye Liuyun.

"Bai Su, kill all the Martial Cultivators here, seal the Yin Souls into the Soul Array, then take them together with the Soul‑Calming Mountain back to the Underworld to guard it.

Later, if any strong ones reach the Underworld, first have Zhuge Feiyu capture them into the Soul Array for control."

Ye Liuyun also thought the Soul‑Calming Mountain had little use left and should return to the Underworld.

"Yes!"

Bai Su answered with a yes, and immediately, with Zhuge Feiyu, whistled as they charged toward the Martial Cultivators of this area.

Ye Liuyun also informed Meng Changjun, telling him to retreat to the city quickly with the Soul Cultivators he had just subjugated.

The rest were left to Bai Su to clean up.

Bai Su's strength was overwhelming; the Martial Cultivators training here were swiftly slain, and the Yin Souls were all captured by Zhuge Feiyu into the Soul Array.

With these powerful Yin Souls guarding the Underworld, Ye Liuyun and the others no longer needed to worry about the Underworld being impacted.

The corpses of those Martial Cultivators were also brought back by Zhuge Feiyu for Ye Liuyun, becoming food for the Magic Vine.

Bai Su gestured toward the Soul‑Crossing Mountain again, and a black triangular object flew out from the Mid‑Mountain Ridge.

When they got close, Ye Liuyun and the others saw that it was a pitch‑black mountain peak, merely reduced in size.

Bai Su also handed the control of the Soul‑Calming Mountain over to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun refined the Soul‑Calming Mountain, he let his clone send them back to the Underworld.

Afterwards, he didn't linger, but went straight back to the city to rendezvous with Meng Changjun's Martial Cultivators.

At this moment, Meng Changjun had already formed a Soul Cultivator unit of over two hundred people, each with a powerful Soul.

"Not bad! The force is large enough.

Be more discreet and operate in dispersed groups."

After Ye Liuyun finished briefing, Meng Changjun also selected the Martial Cultivators with the strongest Divine Soul Power to lead, splitting the force into ten‑person squads, sending them out to capture Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun returned to Jinghun City, took control of Chengzhu Fu, linking its Teleportation Array with the Dongyun Dynasty, facilitating these Soul Cultivators to send the captured Martial Cultivators to the Dongyun Dynasty.

However, he set a restriction: only Martial Cultivators bearing the Slave Seal he placed could pass through this Teleportation Array to the Dongyun Dynasty.

Next, Ye Liuyun began to gradually control the Martial Cultivators of Chengzhu Fu, preventing them from spotting flaws or leaking information.

For several months in a row, Ye Liuyun's plan to capture Martial Cultivators proceeded very smoothly.

Several major cities surrounding Jinghun City were riddled with the footprints of these Soul Cultivators.

Each month, Ye Liuyun could send back nearly a hundred Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators to the Eastern Dynasty.

After these Martial Cultivators were captured, Ye Liuyun re‑imposed the Slave Seal before sending them back, lest a Soul Cultivator forced to sign a Divine Soul Contract die, losing its restraints and instead becoming a threat to the Dongyun Dynasty.

"That's about it, let everyone retreat!"

Ye Liuyun only had these Soul Cultivators capture some scattered Martial Cultivators, or strong ones among minor forces.

Moreover, as long as an outsider is present, they will find some pretext for attack.

Now, around these towns, only a few major powers remain.

If these Soul Cultivators continue to act, it will likely draw attention.

Furthermore, the Soul‑Crossing Mountain's Soul pressure has vanished, and some Martial Cultivators have already noticed.

The news has already spread; Ye Liuyun, fearing the Eastern Dynasty will send people to investigate, prepared to withdraw first.

But before he could leave, the Eastern Dynasty's Inspection Envoy rushed to Jinghun City.

At this moment, many of the Soul Cultivators Ye Liuyun dispatched had not yet returned.

Ye Liuyun, helpless, could only continue impersonating Zhao Rongde to receive the envoy.

The Inspection Envoy Xu Mulin sent by the Central Dynasty was a man in his eighties.

Although his beard and hair were all white, he was full of vigor, his eyes like lightning.

Xu Mulin was the God King Mo Xiaotian's most trusted right‑hand man.

Because the Soul‑Crossing Mountain had previously been Zhongxing Wangchao's celestial barrier, the matter was of great significance.

If the celestial barrier failed, outsiders could freely enter the Central Region, and those trying to flee the Central Region could also escape from here.

Thus, once verified, Zhongxing Wangchao would need to dispatch troops to guard it.

Ye Liuyun actually thought that the Central Dynasty sending people to hold this gap was a good thing, preventing these strong Martial Cultivators from wreaking havoc on civilians in other regions.

It's just that Mo Xiaotian is also more concerned about the reason for Soul Ferry Mountain's failure.

He suspects that the treasure inside might have been taken, which could threaten his rule in the future.

Therefore, accompanying Xu Mulin this time are also twenty Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators.

This inspection envoy group can truly be said to be formidable.

After Xu Mulin arrived, he did not put on any airs, but rather chatted very amiably with Ye Liuyun.

"Zhao City Lord, there's no need for formalities; we have official duties, and we don't require your hospitality.

As long as you can tell us the information you know, we will be immensely grateful!"

"Holding a high position and possessing outstanding strength, yet so modest—this person is not simple!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at him, saw a sharp gleam in his eyes, and knew this fellow was a sly old fox, very hard to deal with.

"Special Envoy Xu's visit to Reverent Soul City is a great honor for a lowly me! The envoy's consideration for subordinates also fills me with gratitude.

But a modest offering of wine is still appropriate.

We can eat and chat at the same time, and it won't waste your time!"

Ye Liuyun knew he was being polite, yet he persisted in arranging wine to welcome them.

Xu Mulin did not refuse further and agreed.

While waiting for the food, Xu Mulin began to learn from Ye Liuyun about the situation at Soul Ferry Mountain.

Ye Liuyun then earnestly narrated it to him.

"I have also recently found that many Soul Cultivators have withdrawn, and upon inquiry, learned of the disappearance of the Soul's oppressive pressure at Soul Ferry Mountain.

It's just that I haven't gone to verify it yet.

I heard those Soul Cultivators say it seems a great battle occurred inside.

But they were all on the outskirts at the time, unsure whose hand caused it.

All they know is that it wasn't a strongman of their caliber.

Subsequently, the Soul's oppressive pressure at Soul Ferry Mountain vanished."
