Chapter 2405: Found the Information
Trapped in an Illusion Array, the more they walked, the easier they got lost.
They immediately used a Transmission Talisman to contact each other and discuss a method to break the array.
Ye Liuyun, his clone, and Qiong Qi seized the moment when they paused, approached a martial cultivator, jointly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, with Ye Liuyun planting a Slave Seal on it to conduct a Soul Search.
Ye Liuyun instantly discovered the number and strength of the people who had come this time, but in the martial cultivator's memory there was little information about the treasure's location.
"Next one!"
Ye Liuyun immediately took his clone and Qiong Qi to continue subduing these martial cultivators.
"They're just ahead, not far away; if we walk a bit further we'll encounter them!"
Leng Jian was still maintaining the positional sensing of the defensive light sphere.
The two martial cultivators behind him thought it over and decided to give it a try, clutching Leng Jian and moving forward.
Leng Jian ignored the path entirely, closed his eyes, and followed the sensing to avoid the Illusion Array's influence.
He kept walking until he sensed the position of the defensive light sphere, then stopped.
But before he could open his eyes, a heavy strike from the two martial cultivators behind him knocked him out.
Another defensive light sphere lay on the grass in front of them.
"It's a trap; that guy fooled us!"
One martial cultivator said.
"Don't kill him yet; seal his True Essence, bring him back for the prince to deal with, then we have an explanation."
The other martial cultivator immediately sealed Leng Jian's True Essence and lifted him in his hand.
"Everyone, follow the ground's vibration and move toward me."
After dealing with Leng Jian, that martial cultivator promptly issued orders to the others and kept stomping his feet into the ground.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun and his group had already controlled three martial cultivators.
They immediately relayed this news to Ye Liuyun.
"You all hurry over and ambush those two martial cultivators!"
Ye Liuyun quickly sent them to rush over, while he, with his clone and Qiong Qi, focused on capturing the other martial cultivators.
Now all the martial cultivators closed their eyes, no longer watching the path, and hurried toward the direction indicated by the ground's vibration.
Ye Liuyun and his companions easily seized another three martial cultivators as well.
Then they rushed over together with the six martial cultivators they had controlled.
When those six appeared, the two martial cultivators immediately ordered them to stay where they were and not approach.
Those two were worried that everyone else being controlled would be to their disadvantage.
Ye Liuyun and his clone slipped in unseen and thought those two martial cultivators were rather clever.
So they immediately released Qiong Qi, jointly attacking the martial cultivator holding Leng Jian.
But they didn't expect that within his Sea of Consciousness lay a treasure that defended against Spiritual Soul Attacks.
"We will attack him.
Others, two block his Physical Body attacks, four launch Spiritual Soul Attacks!"
Ye Liuyun immediately coordinated everyone to cooperate, aiming to take down that martial cultivator in one go before dealing with the other.
That martial cultivator instantly tossed Leng Jian to the nearby cultivator, slapped toward Qiong Qi's direction with one palm, and hammered the ground with the other.
"You go first, go through the ground!"
He shouted to the cultivator beside him.
It turned out that while stomping his foot, he was also breaking the array downward.
He also knew some formations and discovered that the weakest point of this Illusion Array was underground.
The cultivator beside him didn't hesitate; after catching Leng Jian, he split the ground with a palm, creating an opening and dove downward.
At this point, the six martial cultivators subdued by Ye Liuyun each acted to block attacks and released Divine Soul Power to assist.
Breaking the treasure that defended against Spiritual Soul Attacks, Ye Liuyun's group's souls surged into that cultivator's Sea of Consciousness, planting a Slave Seal on its soul.
"Finally found it!"
Ye Liuyun felt a surge of joy.
In this Soul Search, he finally obtained relatively precise information about the treasure's location.
It turned out that the martial cultivator had indeed heard of the seaside treasure spot, which lay about two days' travel from the coast, an inconspicuous Xiao dao.
Beneath that island lay a buried palace.
However, as far as he knew, that sea region was already extremely treacherous, and the palace itself was guarded by powerful beings.
He had heard this information from a senior, and felt fairly confident it wasn't a trap.
In truth, he was also scheming about that treasure site.
But given his own strength, he wouldn't dare to go searching for the treasure.
He wanted to find partners, but feared exposure, so he never managed to find a collaborator.
Ye Liuyun immediately told Qiong Qi this news.
"Ah?
No way?
When they trapped you last time, they actually used the real treasure location?"
Qiong Qi was somewhat surprised.
"It can't be called truly real.
Because the island is still far away.
And whether one can even find that island, or reach it, is still uncertain!"
Ye Liuyun also said.
"Could it be a trap?"
Qiong Qi also felt a bit worried.
"That's not certain.
But even if it's a trap, we still have to go check it! However, that's for later; we'll discuss it later. First, we need to deal with this Xiao Muyu."
Ye Liuyun immediately sent his clone, Qiong Qi, and these seven Martial Cultivator elites into Space World.
At this moment, Magic Vine also entangled the fleeing Martial Cultivator and Leng Jian, absorbing their energy.
"Let them go, and have them return to report!"
Ye Liuyun gave Magic Vine a command.
It is the Leng Jian that A Xing kept, later to transform into Leng Jian's image and get close to Xiao Muyu.
Magic Vine had almost finished absorbing, so it loosened its grip, allowing the two to escape back.
That Martial Cultivator's realm had already dropped to the eighth level of the Divine Realm.
Leng Jian fared worse, not even reaching the Divine Realm.
More sadly, the two were underground, never seeing the full form of Magic Vine, and had no idea what attacked them.
That Martial Cultivator insisted on bringing Leng Jian back to the army, filing a complaint to Xiao Muyu, claiming Leng Jian had led them into a trap.
In a fury, Xiao Muyu ordered Leng Jian to be chopped into meat mush and fed to the beasts.
Leng Jian got what he deserved, harming others only to harm himself, and never even got a chance to explain before death.
Xiao Muyu thus lost eight elites.
One was disabled, one's fate unknown, and the other six were captured alive by the opponent.
How could he not hate Leng Jian.
Whether or not Leng Jian acted intentionally, Xiao Muyu would not let him off.
Regarding the underground Magic Vine, the returning person was also unsure what it was, only guessing it was some native plant here.
Seeing this well‑versed elite make such a guess, Xiao Muyu didn't mind much.
"Immediately launch a full‑scale attack on the tribe, and before they can act, seize control of everyone in the tribe."
He instantly decided to dispatch troops, taking advantage of Ye Liuyun's people being too slow to interfere, and swiftly capture the tribe.
Xiao Muyu sent the elite to lead, and since Term (exclude) had already recovered enough, this full‑force onslaught made the local tribe's people unable to hold out.
Moreover, as they fought and captured, each prisoner was forced into a Master‑Servant Contract, so the more they fought the tribe, the less the tribe's people were their opponents.
