Chapter 2183: Spirit Clan's Crushing Defeat

The whole process took exactly five breaths, the battlefield immediately returned to normal, and the battle continued.

That long sword didn't know what was happening; its target vanished instantly.

After waiting a while, no Spirit Clan elder gave it orders, so it released its soul power and began searching for Ye Liuyun.

"This long sword's soul is really not very bright!"

Ye Liuyun secretly thought, finding that the long sword's soul was simply searching forward.

However, its soul power took the shape of a sword, and was actually much stronger than Ye Liuyun's soul power.

"What if I let Bai Su attack its soul power?"

Ye Liuyun then asked the Book Demon again.

"Then it would attack Bai Su; Bai Su could handle its soul power, but could not block that long sword."

"What if we use Soul-Suppressing Mountain?"

Ye Liuyun asked again

"When Soul-Suppressing Mountain appears, besides your Underworld's Yin Souls, all the martial cultivators here will be doomed, even those people in your Royal City cannot endure it!"

The Book Demon replied.

Ye Liuyun also had no other choice; he could only wear down that long sword.

After a while, the long sword's soul finally noticed Ye Liuyun.

He immediately returned inside the sword body, controlling the long sword to turn backward.

But its turning speed was relatively slow; Ye Liuyun used spatial overlap to keep up with its speed completely.

So after the long sword turned, it discovered Ye Liuyun had disappeared again.

Thus it continued to emit its soul to search for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique continually blocked the long sword from absorbing spiritual energy, so its power also noticeably decreased.

Others' battles also went very smoothly; Ye Liuyun's side now completely held the advantage.

Soul cultivators had already begun taking the opportunity to capture Spirit Clan martial cultivators.

The martial cultivators also formed groups of three, killing Spirit Clan martial cultivators, gradually surrounding them and tightening the encirclement.

After the Magic Vine devoured the corpses, it also joined in the encirclement and slaughter of those Spirit Clan martial cultivators.

This battle left not a single Spirit Clan martial cultivator escaping.

The people inside the city, seeing this situation, have already begun cheering and celebrating.

Only a few strong ones, knowing Ye Liuyun had not yet escaped danger, stared at him tensely.

"Let a few Spirit Clan prisoners come over to control this long sword!"

The Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately called over a Spirit Clan martial cultivator who had just been implanted with a Divine Soul Contract, ordering him to seize that long sword.

"Can they control this long sword?"

Only then did Ye Liuyun ask the Book Demon.

"Of course not! Can the Spirit Clan's holy sword be controlled by ordinary people?"

The Book Demon countered.

"Then why did you have me look for Spirit Clan people?"

Ye Liuyun did not understand what the Book Demon meant.

"Consume its energy!"

The Book Demon answered.

At that moment, the long sword indeed began to break free from the martial cultivator's grasp, desperately trying to fly out of his hand.

"Catch and kill him!"

Ye Liuyun also immediately ordered that prisoner.

Thus the prisoner gripped the long sword tightly with both hands, his hands shattered and bleeding profusely, being flung all over the sky by the sword, yet he refused to let go.

Ye Liuyun, however, remained in midair at the sword's hilt, preventing the long sword from noticing him.

"Bring a few more!"

Seeing that the Spirit Clan could not hold out, Ye Liuyun immediately fetched a few more Spirit Clan prisoners to take turns grabbing the long sword.

The long sword's energy was being consumed more and more in its struggle with those Spirit Clan martial cultivators.

From the Sea of Consciousness, the Ten Thousand Gods Command's golden light growing ever fainter, Ye Liuyun could sense the long sword's power changing.

The long sword lost control of three Spirit Clan experts, temporarily becoming ownerless.

But it only recognizes Spirit Clan people, so it does not stab any Spirit Clan martial cultivator.

It merely despises their weakness, struggling desperately to avoid being controlled by them.

"When this long sword's energy is exhausted, you then use your clone's black light to extinguish its soul, and it will be yours! This is a super-divine-rank Spirit Clan-exclusive weapon; you can give it to your Spirit Clan wife!"

The Book Demon told Ye Liuyun.

Soon, the long sword was drained of energy, no longer moving wildly, and was finally brought under control by the martial cultivators.

"Don't rush! Let those Spirit Clan martial cultivators refine it!"

The Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun again.

Thus Ye Liuyun had those prisoners refine that long sword.

That long sword suddenly began to resist again.

After repeatedly tossing back and forth several times, when those martial cultivators refined it, it showed no reaction, and only then did the Book Demon allow Ye Liuyun to act.

"Stand behind the sword hilt; be careful it still has a last bit of power to attack you."

Thus Ye Liuyun released his clone, using black light to annihilate the soul power within that long sword.

"Alas!"

The Divine Soul Power within that long sword let out a sigh, then was erased by the Black Light.

When the Divine Soul in that long sword was extinguished, it immediately targeted the clone and lunged at him.

Ye Liuyun, however, seized it firmly at the sword hilt, and only after its last bit of power was exhausted did Ye Liuyun pull it into the Storage Ring.

It didn't even dare to store the long sword in the Space World, fearing it would cause trouble inside.

Ye Liuyun let out a breath at that moment: "It's finally over!"

For the remaining matters, he took no further action; it was Jing Yong who, leading the remaining Martial Cultivators, kept all the remaining Spirit Clan members under control and had Ye Liuyun place Slave Seals on them.

Ye Liuyun also gave these people to Jing Yong.

In that battle, many Martial Cultivators died, so the Spirit Clan captives were used as replacements.

Ye Liuyun had no intention of returning these people to the Spirit Clan.

Ye Liuyun ordered Jing Yong to take his men back to recuperate.

At that moment, the Defense Array of the Royal Palace and Royal City were both extinguished, and the citizens of the whole city cheered together in celebration of victory.

After Jing Yong returned with his men to the Royal Palace, the mid‑late Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators and Soul Cultivators kept in reserve there immediately left the city and gathered around Ye Liuyun.

"There are still so many!"

The townsfolk once again erupted into frenzied cheers.

They never expected the Eastern Cloud Dynasty to be so powerful, let alone have so many strong individuals.

Ye Liuyun did not return to the Royal Palace; instead, he directly stored these people into the Space World, then used the power of spatial overlap to annihilate the Spirit Clan.

The Spirit Clan seized the moment of his weakness to launch an attack on him.

Now that the Spirit Clan is weakened, he naturally would not be courteous to them.

News of Ye Liuyun's victory quickly spread throughout the Eastern Region.

"Spirit Clan suffers a crushing defeat! Their strongest formation was wiped out, and the Holy Sword was seized!"

Everyone in the Eastern Dynasty was shocked by Ye Liuyun's power.

Even the Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain could only block this Spirit Clan formation at great cost.

But Ye Liuyun not only annihilated those strong ones; he immediately led another one hundred and fifty strong individuals to launch a counter‑offensive against the Spirit Clan.

Such strength completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

"How did he cultivate so many Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators?"

The townsfolk still believed those Martial Cultivators were the result of Ye Liuyun's years of secret cultivation.

They all admired Ye Liuyun's low‑key brilliance.

The Profound Heaven Sect also wore bright smiles, grateful that they had always stood alongside Ye Liuyun.

"My disciple does have some talent, right?"

Jin Qing Song would brag about it to anyone he met.
