Chapter 2169: Research Strategies

"Isn't that Bà Tiān being controlled by this Demon Race?"

Ye Liuyun speculated.

"You'd better be ready for this!"

The Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

But he added, "However, it's also possible that Bà Tiān's Demon Qi is insufficient to awaken his other Soul."

"Just like the Soul inside this armor, if you don't have the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine together absorb the Demon Qi that puts pressure on it, it won't awaken!"

Ye Liuyun nodded and still decided to prepare to deal with that Demon Race's other Soul.

He waited until that Demon Race's Soul was depleted to a level weaker than his own Divine Soul Power, then he initiated Soul Search to understand that Demon Race's memory.

But that Demon Race's memory consisted entirely of fragments, pieces of battles between the Demon Race and humans, as if it had amnesia.

However, there was one thing he remembered clearly: the Nine Nether Prelude, and it was the complete version of both upper and lower parts.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed and immediately recorded the full version of the Nine Nether Prelude.

"Why are the Demon Race's memories all fragments?"

Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon.

"He has been sleeping in this armor for too long.

Many things have been forgotten.

Only the things he remembers most deeply can he recall!"

The Book Demon explained to Ye Liuyun.

"Then if I use this Nine Nether Prelude against him, would it be useless?"

Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon again.

"Of course, since he remembers it so clearly, using his own technique against him would be a waste of effort, wouldn't it?"

The Book Demon mocked him.

"Then you can only use the Black Light of your clone to annihilate it!"

Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

"To destroy such a powerful Soul, you'd probably have to exhaust your clone's Divine Soul Power! The Ten Thousand Gods Command can now also be used against him! It has just absorbed that much power, and now it's far stronger than before!"

The Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

"What about my Buddha Light Power?"

Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon again.

The Book Demon shook his head and laughed, "Even if you absorb all the Demon Qi inside the armor, you still can't destroy such a powerful Soul.

Moreover, the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine have already taken half of it!"

Ye Liuyun only then realized and immediately put away the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine.

But those two fellows absorbed Demon Qi faster than Ye Liuyun and his clone; half of the armor's Demon Qi had already been taken by them.

Ye Liuyun didn't blame the two, after all they had become powerful and were his aid.

And the remaining half of the Demon Qi was enough for Ye Liuyun and his clone to absorb for a while!

It wasn't until a day later that Ye Liuyun and his clone finally absorbed all the Demon Qi inside the armor.

The Demon Qi inside this armor was especially dense and pure, and Ye Liuyun's absorption and transmutation proceeded very smoothly.

After the Demon Qi dispersed, everyone finally saw Ye Liuyun.

Those on whom Ye Liuyun placed the Slave Seal all knew he hadn't died, but Zhao Ming Cheng and the other Zhao family members were extremely worried.

Because the Zhao family members were all inside Ye Liuyun's Space World, if Ye Liuyun died, their clan would be doomed as well!

At this moment the clone successfully refined that ancient Demon Race armor, brought it back into Xuan Kong Shi, and wore it directly.

"A Super Divine Rank treasure!"

The clone told Ye Liuyun.

"Great, you can wear it from now on!"

Ye Liuyun gave the armor to his clone and let his Soul enter his Sea of Consciousness to jointly absorb that Demon Race's Divine Soul Power.

Otherwise the Demon Race's Divine Soul Power would be too strong for him to absorb alone.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command clearly left a share of resources for the clone as well.

After absorbing this Demon Race's Divine Soul Power, Ye Liuyun felt that in the future, dealing with ordinary Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators would no longer require him and his clone to cooperate; they could strike separately.

Later Ye Liuyun let the clone go into Xuan Kong Shi to familiarize itself with the lower part of the Nine Nether Prelude, lest it be controlled by the Demon Race using the Nine Nether Prelude.

Plop!

The Martial Cultivator who had previously informed Ye Liuyun about the armor immediately knelt before Ye Liuyun and confessed.

"Master, spare me! I didn't know the armor was so dangerous! I wouldn't dare harm you!"

Ye Liuyun laughed, "Of course you didn't know! If you had known, you'd be dead already! Such strong Demon Qi is beyond your capability! Get up, I won't casually punish my own people!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The Martial Cultivator then stood up, repeatedly thanking him.

"If you know any other information, feel free to say it!"

Ye Liuyun continued to question them.

Those Martial Cultivators immediately scrambled to speak.

"Under Bà Tiān, besides thirty Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators, there are thirty each of Ninth Layer Mid Stage and Initial stage, over two hundred Martial Cultivators of the Eighth Realm, and over three hundred of the Seventh Realm."

"Only the Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators were forced to sign a Divine Soul Contract; the others were not."

"Therefore, once war breaks out, those people certainly won't fight to the death for Bà Tiān; they'll only engage in cheap fights."

"They'll only give their best when they have the advantage."

Once they are at a disadvantage, they will immediately rout.

Hearing this, the Zhao family members all felt worried.

With such a disparity in strength, how can we possibly fight this battle!

They themselves are not afraid of death, but they fear Ye Liuyun dying in battle.

Ye Liuyun also checked the number of people on his side; adding them up, there were still fewer than fifty, so a frontal attack was definitely impossible—only a clever strategy would work.

Ye Liuyun continued to inquire about Chen Batian's situation, asking them whether after Chen Batian had finished refining that Demon Race corpse, there had been any abnormal situation.

"It's just that his realm has risen by one level; everything else is exactly the same as before!"

Several martial cultivators did not notice any abnormality.

Although it is very likely that the Foreign Tribe's soul is still hidden and sleeping within Chen Batian's body, Ye Liuyun still dare not be careless.

If he implants a Slave Seal on Chen Batian to control him, then when the Foreign Tribe's soul awakens, it could at any moment break through his Slave Seal and attack him—utterly indefensible.

But if he kills Chen Batian, the Foreign Tribe's soul will immediately awaken.

At this moment, Chen Batian was also making advance preparations.

Ye Liuyun's ability to control martial cultivators is too strong; he also worries that he cannot hold the ford.

He even sent a request for aid to the Zhongxing Dynasty, informing God King Mo Xiaotian that his martial cultivators' souls had been controlled by someone.

Upon careful inquiry, Mo Xiaotian discovered that this method of controlling souls was exactly the same as the martial cultivators he had previously lost.

Moreover, since Mo Shaowen had also once appeared in Linyuan City, he again suspected that the Spirit Clan was up to something there, and immediately notified the martial cultivators in Linyuan City to rush to the ford to reinforce Chen Batian.

Originally, the martial cultivators near Linyuan City had just withdrawn back to Linyuan City these past days, preparing to return to the Royal City.

After searching for many days with no result, continuing to search would also be a waste of time.

So, as soon as they received the order, they immediately left the city together.

Over a hundred Ninth Realm martial cultivators, wherever they passed, their powerful aura would cause a sensation.

Ye Liuyun and his group, however, were still stopped in place at this moment, researching how to deal with Chen Batian.
