Chapter 2401: Special Discovery

After You Ming and the others took down their opponent, when they took a moment to look over, the Martial Cultivator's corpse had already vanished; they didn't see how the clone killed that Martial Cultivator, only felt a powerful aura rush past.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun, to be safe, also released the Magic Vine, letting it search underground for any hidden masters.

Sure enough, the Magic Vine, under the tree where Kuang Sha and Yi Dao were hanging, found another one and immediately coiled around him.

The Martial Cultivator, with a slight struggle, blasted the floating earth on the ground apart.

Ye Liuyun and the clone instantly overlapped through space, rushed over, launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on him, and searched his memories.

Then they devoured his Soul, and gave the corpse to the Magic Vine.

At this point, the battle was nearing its end; You Ming and Tian Yan saw the Magic Vine and widened their eyes.

Ye Liuyun told the Magic Vine not to take human form, but to shrink into the shape of a Magic Vine seed, and immediately stored it away.

The others were in Monster Beast form, and it didn't matter even if You Ming and the others saw them.

When all the soldiers had been wiped out by the Monster Beasts, Tian Yan went to release Kuang Sha and Yi Dao, but Ye Liuyun stopped him.

He and the clone first released their Souls together, surged into Kuang Sha and Yi Dao's Sea of Consciousness, and examined their Souls.

The equal contracts they had previously signed had already been erased.

Ye Liuyun estimated that the two of them had previously been forced to sign contracts.

But since those two strong ones were taken down by Ye Liuyun, the contracts automatically became void.

Ye Liuyun unlocked the sealing on their True Essence, allowing the two to recover on their own.

He then seized the chance to have the clone and the Monster Beasts clean up the battlefield, gathering all the corpses, leaving only three Black Kill members outside to scout ahead from a distance.

After Ye Liuyun finished all the arrangements, Tian Yan took the opportunity to ask Ye Liuyun, "What was that vine just now?"

"It's called Magic Vine, it's a kind of plant!"

Ye Liuyun didn't tell him the truth.

"Those three are Black Kill members?"

You Ming was quite interested in those three people.

Ye Liuyun also admitted, "Yes! We captured them casually during a mission."

"You're really impressive, even the fierce beasts are rare! Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Thunder Dragon Beast, Stone Ape, just missing a True Dragon!"

You Ming added another flattery.

Ye Liuyun just smiled, thinking to himself, "The True Dragon didn't dare let her out, fearing it would scare you!"

After a while, Kuang Sha and Yi Dao gradually regained consciousness.

Seeing that You Ming, Ye Liuyun and the others were present, they knew they were safe.

"Damn it, I was careless, didn't expect an ambush here! Sorry for the trouble!"

Kuang Sha immediately apologized to the others.

"Just be careful from now on! But I guess, even if the outer garrison doesn't know, the Secret Realm's Xiao Muyu should have found out."

You Ming wasn't bothered, but reminded everyone to act cautiously in the future, not to fall into traps again.

"When we go out, we might also encounter danger."

Ye Liuyun added.

"It's all my fault! When we went out, I covered you, you retreat first!"

Kuang Sha kept apologizing to everyone.

"It's fine, there's always a way! You two should first restore the equal contract, so we can communicate, then we'll move to another place to cultivate and recover; we can't stay in one spot forever."

Ye Liuyun reminded Kuang Sha and Yi Dao.

Afterwards, Kuang Sha and Yi Dao re‑signed the Divine Soul Contract; You Ming left a Demon Wolf to carry the still‑unhealed Kuang Sha and Yi Dao to another location for them to cultivate and recover, preventing other strong ones from probing here.

While they were healing, Ye Liuyun also communicated the information he had uncovered to You Ming and Tian Yan.

"The natives here have realms comparable to ours, but Martial Cultivators of the Heavenly Person Second Realm are definitely very few.

They plan to control the local Clan Chief, making him a tool for the Holy Land Dynasty to plunder resources, first wear them down, then kill them all!"

"Damn it!"

You Ming suddenly cursed angrily.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her, then continued, "At present, aside from those who ambushed here, everyone else has already rushed toward the northern tribe's settlement.

Beside Xiao Muyu, there is also a Heavenly Person Second Realm Monster Beast, an Azure Hawk, with great combat power.

Among the Heavenly Person Second Realm experts, only two remain sent by the dynasty; among a thousand Imperial Guard, there are two who have concealed their realms."

Ye Liuyun relayed all the relevant information he had searched.

But he omitted some information.

In that strong one's Sea of Consciousness, there indeed is information about a hidden treasure location.

What surprised Ye Liuyun was that it was the same sea region he and Qiong Qi had once visited.

According to that strong one's memory, the treasure lies on a small island far from the coast.

However, he only heard these rumors and doesn't know their truth.

The Holy Land Dynasty has many hidden treasure sites, some real, some false, many of which are traps.

If anyone goes there, it's basically a one‑way trip.

He plans to investigate it himself after completing this mission.

After all, taking You Ming is too risky; for such uncertain information, it's more convenient for him to investigate alone.

After the group discussed, Ye Liuyun summoned a Black Kill assassin back, having him board a Flying Boat to chase Xiao Muyu.

He also deliberately erased that assassin's memories and took away all identification tags, lest Xiao Muyu's people capture him and discover his identity.

Half a day later, Ye Liuyun and the others also boarded the Flying Boat, following the assassin.

Before boarding the Flying Boat, Ye Liuyun had the clone wear the Invisibility Cloak and separate from himself.

After Ye Liuyun left, the clone released a flying swallow, directly flying into Xingkong to survey the whole Dao xu.

This Xiao dao is about the same size as an Outpost Island, not small either, but the number of people there is not large, and most are concentrated in the Central Region and the north.

Most of the other several regions are occupied by fierce beasts, showing that the environment here is actually quite good.

Just then, the clone suddenly noticed a place at the junction of the north, Central Region, and east where a strong light flashed again.

You should know, he could see the light from Xingkong looking down; from the ground, it must be extremely strong.

"What is it?"

The clone immediately controlled the flying swallow and dove down to investigate.

As his flying swallow approached, Ye Liuyun discovered that the flashing spot was an Altar.

On the Altar sat a stone pedestal.

That light just now must have come from that stone pedestal.

Although there were some strong ones around the stone pedestal, no matter how they burst forth True Essence, it would be impossible for Ye Liuyun to see the light from that far away.

Meanwhile, the top of the Altar slowly opened, the stone pedestal sank down, and then the Altar's top closed again.

Seeing this, the clone immediately controlled the flying swallow to return to Xingkong, without letting those strong ones notice.

He estimated that those strong ones were hiding some treasure.

Perhaps they also discovered the large army accompanying Xiao Muyu, fearing the treasure would be snatched away.
