Chapter 2203: Formation Failure

After the formation was set up, Ye Liuyun then chatted with Qiong Qi about his recent situation, his current strength, and his goals.

In front of outsiders, Qiong Qi would never ask Ye Liuyun about these.

Ye Liuyun proactively told him, also wanting him to understand the actual situation so he could know how to help.

"Your approach of pausing is not wrong; the Zhongxing Dynasty absolutely has more strength than just what appears on the surface."

"Perhaps their true strength is even more terrifying than when you dealt with the Spirit Clan."

"Otherwise, Mo Xiaotian couldn't have stood on equal footing with the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance for so many years."

Qiong Qi helped Ye Liuyun analyze, saying:

"Yeah! But the martial cultivators I captured, although there are some from the royal family, after soul search they have absolutely no information about this."

Ye Liuyun said to Qiong Qi with some doubt:

Qiong Qi said indifferently: "What's strange about that! The Divine Realm gathers martial cultivators from various different mortal realms, so their techniques naturally vary greatly!"

"You also shouldn't think only you can silently erase these people's memories."

"Know that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

"Perhaps some people originally knew this information, but had their previous memories erased."

"Otherwise you wouldn't find any useful information at all!"

After Qiong Qi's reminder, Ye Liuyun immediately asked: "That means the Zhongxing Dynasty still has at least one martial cultivator with powerful divine soul?"

"I previously thought the Soul King was the martial cultivator with the strongest divine soul in the Zhongxing Dynasty."

Qiong Qi also said: "I know the Soul King; his divine soul power is indeed strong."

"But it's completely normal for the Central Dynasty to also hide martial cultivators with strong divine souls!"

Ye Liuyun nodded and then asked Qiong Qi: "Are you here this time to help me?"

"Will you still leave afterwards?"

Qiong Qi laughed and said: "I'm afraid you'll die at the hands of the Zhongxing Dynasty, so I came to be your babysitter for a while."

"At the same time, I'm supervising you to cultivate quickly, because the situation on the Alien Battlefield is not good!"

"I came to help you so you can quickly unify the Divine Realm, in order to fully reinforce the Alien Battlefield."

"The current Zhongxing Dynasty is indeed quite troublesome!"

"Is it the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance that sent you?"

Ye Liuyun immediately reacted:

"The Fire Emperor's Palace was originally a subordinate of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance!"

Qiong Qi also didn't hide: "Not only the Fire Emperor's Palace, but there may also be other forces of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance helping you in different ways."

"But you don't need to worry about those; just do what you should do!"

"What if the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance doesn't let you come help me?"

Ye Liuyun pursued the question.

Qiong Qi laughed and cursed: "Bullshit! I didn't help you burn the Zhongxing Dynasty's great army?"

"Even if the Fire Emperor's Palace is a force of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance, they won't manage everything I do!"

Only then did Ye Liuyun satisfactorily let Qiong Qi return to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.

He and his clone always need to have one person stay outside.

Now there are many matters, often someone needs to ask him for instructions.

Ye Liuyun directly handed over the control token for the Chengzhu Fu and the outer city formation to Song An.

However, Mo Xiaotian, far away in the Zhongxing Royal City, at this moment learned the news that Ye Liuyun was commanding the great army in Qiming City.

"Hmph, it turns out Ye Liuyun actually used a disguise technique; truly, he got it without any effort!"

Mo Xiaotian gave a cold laugh and immediately sent out fifteen Ninth Layer Summit experts, disguising them as ordinary martial cultivators, to go assassinate Ye Liuyun.

After that group left, Mo Xiaotian sent another fifteen Ninth Layer Summit experts to lie in ambush in Qiming City, waiting for an opportunity to strike at Ye Liuyun.

Afterwards, Mo Xiaotian still wasn't at ease, summoned a martial cultivator wrapped in a black robe, and instructed him: "Mo Sang, you take two subordinates and personally go to Qiming City to assassinate Ye Liuyun and Song An."

"He has a disguise technique; I'm still not entirely relieved about the two batches I sent earlier."

"Yes, sir!"

The black-robed Mo Sang responded with an acknowledgment and retreated from the Grand Hall.

Ye Liuyun trains every day in his cultivation room; even when handling some affairs, he rarely leaves the cultivation room.

That day, while he was cultivating, he suddenly felt the pressure of a Ninth Layer Summit expert enveloping the Chengzhu Fu.

"Quickly activate the defense formation!"

Ye Liuyun immediately notified Song An.

At the same time, he rushed to the Grand Hall and released Qiong Qi as well.

Qiong Qi's two disciples also ran out from their dwellings.

At that moment, the formation of the Chengzhu Fu also finally activated.

But it was not the formation set up by Qiong Qi; it was the one previously arranged by Wu Kun.

Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi were puzzled, and Song An also ran over.

Holding the formation control token that Ye Liuyun had given him, he shouted: "The formation set up by Fire Elder cannot be activated!"

"How could that be possible?"

Qiong Qi immediately took that token, tried it himself, and indeed there was no response.

Inside the Chengzhu Fu, hundreds of Black Armor Guards also ran to the front of the Grand Hall, preparing to meet the enemy.

Qiong Qi didn't have time to think much, instantly drew a formation in the air, and set up another defense formation, protecting the Grand Hall where everyone was.

Outside the formation set up by Wu Kun, fifteen Ninth Layer Summit martial cultivators appeared, they attacked together and in a few strikes broke the defense formation.

Ye Liuyun, fearing his Black Armor Guard could not stop these Martial Cultivators, immediately released fifteen Spirit Clan Elders from the Space World to meet the enemy together with the Black Armor Guard.

At the same time he also released a clone, ready to join the fight.

Fortunately the Formation arranged by Qiong Qi this time blocked the attacks of those strong ones, and they could not break through.

Outside the Grand Hall, the Spirit Clan strong ones and the Black Armor Guard also acted together, stopping them.

Both sides fought in one spot, and the entire Chengzhu Fu was instantly reduced to ruins by the battle aftershocks, which continued to spread outward.

Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi both launched Spiritual Soul Attacks at this moment, but Ye Liuyun's was for control while Qiong Qi's was a direct kill.

The Spiritual Soul Attack ended the battle quickly.

Ye Liuyun and his clone controlled eight strong ones, Qiong Qi killed four, and the remaining three were slain jointly by the crowd.

Yet the strong ones' attacks were also extraordinarily striking.

In that short time, one Spirit Clan Xuan Generation Elder died, two were gravely injured, four Qing‑generation Elders died, and nearly a third of the Black Armor Guard perished.

The area within several li around Chengzhu Fu also turned into a wasteland.

The ordinary guards of Chengzhu Fu were wiped out completely.

The second batch of Martial Cultivators sent by Mo Xiaotian, seeing Ye Liuyun hiding inside a Defense Array with many strong ones guarding, dared not act rashly; they disguised themselves as onlookers and blended into the populace.

Ye Liuyun immediately began a Soul Search.

After learning they numbered only fifteen, he summoned the city guard to soothe the frightened civilians.

He also notified Xiao Yunfang, sending more soldiers to reinforce Chengzhu Fu's guards and rebuild Chengzhu Fu.

Qiong Qi then inspected the Formation he had set up.

"Strange, I clearly placed the Crystal Stone, why is it gone!"

Qiong Qi discovered that the divine stones at the core eye of the Formation had vanished, causing the Formation to fail to activate.

He added the Crystal Stone again, tested, and the Formation finally activated.
