Chapter 2205: Refining the Soul Pupil
The clone also examined Mosang's Soul in detail and told Ye Liuyun: "The black‑robed man's Divine Soul Power isn't stronger than Qiong Qi's."
But he has a powerful Soul that also bears a pair of Red Eyes, while the weaker one does not.
Ye Liuyun originally planned to cooperate with the clone to restrain his Soul, but now worries that once his own Soul leaves the protection of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, it will also be controlled by him.
He was just about to have the clone use Black Light to erase Mosang's Soul, when Mosang, unwilling to prolong the fight, released his own Soul and charged at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly that the Soul attacking him indeed bore a pair of Red Eyes.
Even though his Soul is special, it still cannot escape the Ten Thousand Gods Command's control.
Upon entering Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, it was enveloped by Golden Light and could not move.
"I see!"
He only now understood why Ye Liuyun could instantly control his two subordinates.
"Puff!"
The black‑robed man outside also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Use Black Light to erase his other Soul! Don't risk trying to subdue him."
Ye Liuyun also notified the clone.
Thus a Black Light shot from the clone's eyes, instantly erasing his Soul.
Examining the corpse with his Golden Pupil, he found that the scarlet hue in the pupil had also vanished.
Mosang helplessly chuckled: "Ye Liuyun, if you don't have a treasure, you certainly aren't my opponent!"
When Ye Liuyun heard him call his own name, he realized he had altered his appearance with Thousand Illusion Technique; how could he have recognized him?
Even though he had just seen Ye Liuyun's Soul and recognized Ye Liuyun, he showed no surprise.
This shows that Zhongxing Wangchao already knows he is Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun wants to know the truth, so he will immediately resume Soul Search.
He thinks a prohibition was placed on his subordinates' Souls, but the leading black‑robed man might not be subject to that prohibition.
"Useless, I also placed a prohibition on myself; you won't obtain any information."
Mosang said proudly.
Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun indeed did not act immediately; he first released Qiong Qi's Soul, then asked, "Are you a person of Zhongxing Wangchao?"
"Correct, I am Mosang.
Now, aside from Zhongxing Wangchao, who else could come to assassinate you?"
Mosang indeed dared to admit it.
But when Ye Liuyun asked for further information, he disclosed nothing.
"If you want information, you can; turn off that treasure of yours, stop absorbing my Divine Soul Power, and I will tell you!"
Mosang also discussed conditions with Ye Liuyun.
"It seems he doesn't know the Ten Thousand Gods Command!"
Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile, ignored him, and directly began Soul Search.
Indeed, just as Mosang said, when he began searching for information, Mosang's Soul collapsed and all memories dissipated.
However, Divine Soul Power could still be absorbed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command.
Ye Liuyun had the clone also enter to absorb some Divine Soul Power, replenishing the consumption from the earlier Black Light release.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Command returned a pair of scarlet Red Eyes to Ye Liuyun, intact.
Ye Liuyun also did not know what function these Red Eyes had, dared not refine them, and could only consult the Book Demon.
"This thing is not commonly seen.
It is a Soul Pupil.
That is, a Special Eye Pupil used on the Soul.
However, this fellow merely manifests it into the Physical Body's eyes to frighten people.
You can safely refine it; it won't affect you much, only grants your Soul an additional illusion skill.
As long as you don't manifest it into the eyes, others won't see them."
The Book Demon, knowing what Ye Liuyun was thinking, explained it to him in great detail.
Upon hearing there was no danger and his eyes wouldn't turn a terrifying scarlet, Ye Liuyun immediately refined it into his Soul.
From then on, his Soul could also cast illusion techniques, and could directly affect the opponent's Soul.
After the clone replenished its Divine Soul Power, it left again to search the city for hidden spies.
Ye Liuyun had Song An close the Teleportation Array of the Chengzhu Fu to avoid wasting energy.
He then summoned the Black Armor Guard from earlier to learn what had happened.
But he suddenly discovered that the Red Eyes on his Soul could actually see the guard's Soul.
"It also has this function!"
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected this extra benefit from the Red Eyes.
He performed Soul Search on the Black Armor Guard and found that Mosang, without being asked, had simply said he would come to find him.
And indeed used illusion.
Because in the Black Armor Guard's eyes, Mosang did not appear as a black‑robed figure, but as a small commander wearing a soldier's uniform.
After sending the Black Armor Guard away, Ye Liuyun began to ponder.
"It seems I truly exposed myself.
Zhongxing Wangchao already knows I am stationed here!"
Thinking of this, he immediately assumed Song An's appearance.
He changed his appearance precisely to deceive Zhongxing Wangchao.
Now not only the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance guessed it was him, even Zhongxing Wangchao knows, so he no longer needs to keep pretending.
But he can disguise himself as Song An's image to go out in the open and command the army.
Since Zhongxing Wangchao knows he is Ye Liuyun, they should also know Song An is there.
True and false, let Zhongxing Wangchao guess.
So he lets Song An come to his Cultivation Room and pulls Song An into his own Space World.
Then he notifies the whole army, temporarily handing command to Song An.
He, meanwhile, impersonates Song An and returns to Song An's Cultivation Room.
He only secretly informs Qiong Qi, Yu Xiaofeng, Xiao Yunfang, Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen, and tells them not to let anything slip.
Thus Qiong Qi only tells the two disciples that Ye Liuyun returned to the Dongyun Dynasty to temporarily avoid assassination, and handed this place over to Song An.
"Master, then let's return to the Fire Emperor Palace! So that guy won't suspect us!"
Huo Lei said directly to Qiong Qi.
At this moment, Mo Ren objected, saying: "Master is coming to help a friend.
Now the friend's great undertaking hasn't been completed yet, how can we flee just because someone doubts us even a little!"
Then he said to Qiong Qi: "Master, rest assured, the pure will remain pure; after enough time, they won't misunderstand us! I can temporarily endure a bit of grievance, it's nothing!"
"Haha! You still are the sensible one!"
Qiong Qi happily patted Mo Ren's shoulder, telling them to stay here for now and continue cultivating.
Mo Ren didn't notice that a flash of brilliance flickered in Qiong Qi's eyes.
After Song An expressed doubt, Qiong Qi actually did think about it.
That Formation was arranged by him personally.
Except for Ye Liuyun and his two disciples being present, no one saw the details.
Ye Liuyun certainly cannot bring disaster upon himself.
He also didn't tamper with anything.
Then it could indeed have been done by his two disciples.
So at that time he followed those two disciples back to cultivate, claiming to supervise their cultivation, but actually to watch them.
Originally he didn't really believe Mo Sang was a spy.
But Mo Sang's words just now made him truly a bit doubtful.
His Fire Emperor Palace was originally destroyed by a traitor's hand.
Therefore, aside from Ye Liuyun, he has always been reserved toward others.
Even with his two disciples, he would never, in front of them, reveal any important information about Ye Liuyun.
