Chapter 2430: Demon Beast Army

Ye Liuyun also had Xiao Mulin take out that puppet treasure capable of wrapping a person inside, and he also took it for himself.

"I am the Seventeenth Prince of the Holy Land Dynasty, Xiao Mulin."

Xiao Mulin proactively introduced himself to Ye Liuyun.

"I know!"

Ye Liuyun, however, paid no attention.

"As a prince, I cannot be your servant!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun's lack of reaction, Xiao Mulin continued to demand of him.

Ye Liuyun ignored him, instead directly using the Slave Seal to control his soul, making him kneel before him and call him master.

At that moment, the other Martial Cultivators captured by Ye Liuyun also rushed over, witnessing the Seventeenth Prince kneeling before Ye Liuyun.

Xiao Mulin felt so ashamed he wished to die.

Before, he was the one commanding others with a dignified air; when had he ever been so embarrassed?

But Ye Liuyun controlled him with the Slave Seal, so even if he wanted to die, he couldn't.

"In my eyes, you are just like them—my captives and slaves."

"Don't put on princely airs with me! Otherwise, you won't be able to die even if you want to!"

Ye Liuyun gave a warning, didn't let him rise, but kept him kneeling as he asked: "What is the name of this treasure?"

Under Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal control, Xiao Mulin could only reply: "Master, this treasure is called Wujia!"

Ye Liuyun immediately tried out that treasure.

Looking at its appearance, that treasure was merely a slightly larger metal puppet.

But its interior was hollow, just enough to hold a person.

After activating the treasure, its rear would open, allowing a person to step inside, then the rear would close again.

Once inside, one could communicate with the treasure via the soul, using the metal puppet as one's own body for defense and attack.

Its defensive and offensive capabilities could instantly be raised to the strength of a Second Heavenly Human Realm expert.

"This treasure is actually quite good!"

Ye Liuyun immediately gave that treasure to Tong Xin and Qiong Qi for research.

As for what they might research, he didn't need to worry about it.

Even if there were no results, he wouldn't care.

Tong Xin and Qiong Qi, these two Artifact Refining Masters, were also very interested in these strange treasures.

Seeing this novel design, they immediately became energized.

Ye Liuyun then took Xiao Mulin and the other captives, along with the Demon Beast Army, and continued sweeping this region.

Here, when a Demon Beast is slain, it produces Magic Crystals.

Because few can use Magic Crystals, basically no Martial Cultivators besides Ye Liuyun come here to adventure.

Ye Liuyun then swept the entire Demon Beast region; the Nine Nether Prelude was invincible, subduing a large number of Demon Beasts.

Even the Demon Lion that three Second Heavenly Human Realm experts could not defeat was controlled by Ye Liuyun and his clone working together, using the Nine Nether Prelude.

Ye Liuyun was reluctant to kill these Demon Beasts, having his clone store them in the Space World, and even collected many of the local rocks, trees, and wood.

These Demon Beasts, once stored by his clone in the Space World, even if killed, would no longer produce Magic Crystals but instead become Demon Beast Crystal Cores.

But Ye Liuyun still felt that having this Demon Beast Army was more worthwhile than obtaining a few Magic Crystals.

At least on the journey of death, having this Demon Beast Army made their safety more assured.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun took those eight captives and continued to fight in other regions.

His current priority is to raise his own strength, so even though he had subdued these Demon Beasts, he tried not to use them.

He also kept those captives at a distance, not allowing them to assist him in battle.

If his own strength does not improve, he may never find an exit.

Therefore, he still had to focus on tempering himself.

After leaving that Demon Beast territory, Ye Liuyun came to an area resembling a graveyard.

Here were scattered stone coffins, tombstones, desiccated corpses, and dry bones.

What's more strange, many of the dry bones had a weapon inserted inside them.

Most of those weapons were Divine Rank treasures, obviously good at a glance.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense swept around, detecting no living beings.

But his attention was drawn to a dagger inserted in a dry bone not far away.

That dagger was planted in the skull of a dry skeleton.

Yet the exposed part reflected light.

At the blade's tip, the characters 'Cold Light' were engraved.

Ye Liuyun flicked his hand, intending to pull the dagger over.

To his surprise, the dagger didn't budge at all.

"Huh?"

Ye Liuyun also found it odd; using his Golden Pupil to examine the dagger, he discovered nothing abnormal.

Inside there was no Divine Sense present, and it appeared to be an ordinary weapon.

But Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could tell the dagger's material was special—certainly something he had never seen before.

If one infused Divine Sense into it, this dagger should be mightier than those Divine Rank weapons.

And what the dagger suppresses is a powerful soul.

However, this soul's strength is only formidable compared to his previous soul power; now he fears no such Yin Soul.

Ye Liuyun drove the demon wolf beneath him to approach, but that demon wolf showed unusual caution, after two steps it dared not come closer, and even let out a low growl from its mouth, warning Ye Liuyun of danger.

Seeing it dare not approach, Ye Liuyun jumped down from its back and walked toward that dagger.

Whoo!

The demon wolf let out another low bark, warning him of danger.

Don't worry, I can handle this yin soul!

Ye Liuyun also comforted the demon wolf with a word, grabbed the dagger, and pulled it out in one motion.

Sure enough, it's a treasure!

The dagger's weight far exceeded that of any dagger he had seen before, showing its material is special.

Ye Liuyun casually swung the dagger, and it cut off a section of a divine-rank long spear stuck in a skeleton.

Moreover, the cut was smooth as a mirror, enough to see how sharp the dagger is.

Howl!

The yin soul suppressed by the dagger also eased up now, letting out a piercing howl and rushing toward Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness.

Even the demon wolf was startled by that yin soul's cry, giving a start.

But Ye Liuyun let it rush into his sea of consciousness and used the Ten Thousand Gods Command to devour it.

Afterwards, this graveyard became quiet again.

Just that simple?

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect that the test here would be so simple for him.

Even if it were someone with weaker divine soul power, as long as they weren't greedy to pull out weapons, they wouldn't encounter danger.

So he released a clone, and together with the clone began collecting weapons from the corpses.

These divine-rank weapons, if given to the soldiers to use, could greatly boost their combat power, so Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't waste them.

The others and the demon beasts all waited in place, watching the two of them devour the yin souls.

These yin souls also turned into their divine soul power; although the conversion efficiency is low, their divine soul power is still continually increasing.

As he walked, he also infused a strand of divine sense into the cold light, letting it recognize its master.

Only then did he know that the cold light was made from extraterrestrial profound metal, indestructible.

The artificer who forged this cold light, because the material itself is sharp, did not add unnecessary embellishments and gave it few functions.

This instead made Ye Liuyun like the cold-light dagger even more, deciding to keep it for his own use.

In the future, when he performs assassination missions, this cold light is also perfectly suited for a lethal strike.
