Chapter 2438: Trapping and Killing a Group

The two leaders exchanged a glance and also agreed that each faction would send three people to enter together with Ye Liuyun.

"You must follow me closely! Rush forward with me at the fastest speed; when you can no longer hold on, you will encounter the entrance to that Secret Realm."

Before entering, Ye Liuyun also reminded them.

Those people also nervously agreed and followed Ye Liuyun as they rushed in.

Of course, those unlucky fellows, after rushing in, hadn't gone far before they all collapsed from poison, and even in death they never saw the Secret Realm's entrance.

Ye Liuyun smiled as he collected their Storage Rings, then grabbed two high-grade medicinal herbs and ran out.

Before those people could ask Ye Liuyun, he shouted: "Your people have started fighting the ferocious beasts inside the Secret Realm; I casually snatched two medicinal herbs—don't believe me, look!"

Ye Liuyun gave the medicinal herbs in his hand respectively to the two leaders.

The two leaders looked at them and also felt it was indeed credible.

"Take us in!"

The soldier leader also no longer doubted.

The Imperial Family leader also wanted to go in, but was pulled back by someone beside him.

So he immediately stopped, hesitating: "I'm still a bit worried; maybe we should send someone else in to take a look!"

Thus, his side merely sent another three Martial Cultivators in.

"Well, there are still some smart people!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, continued leading the others, and charged into the valley.

"Why not go in?"

"If our people get killed inside by them, what then?"

After the Imperial Family leader saw them enter, he immediately asked his subordinate beside him.

"I had arranged for those who entered to be notified in advance."

"As soon as they could enter that Secret Realm, they would come out to report."

"Since they haven't come out, there's likely a problem; we can't take this risk!"

The subordinate explained.

"You mean that brat is deceiving us?"

The Imperial Family leader asked.

"Very likely!"

His subordinate said.

At that moment, the soldier leader, shielded by a protective light barrier, came rushing out of the valley.

Having come out, he said nothing and turned to run.

"Sure enough, something happened! They definitely fell for that brat's trick!"

The subordinate of the Imperial Family leader said.

By then, Ye Liuyun had already collected those soldiers' Storage Rings and slowly walked out.

"You're quite clever!"

Ye Liuyun heard the subordinate's words and also praised him.

"Do you have an anti-poison treasure?"

The subordinate asked.

"Sort of!"

Ye Liuyun answered evasively.

"You've got guts, you know who that person who just escaped is?"

"He is the young son of the Holy Land Dynasty's Leader, Liu Tianyi!"

The Imperial Family leader said: "You let him go; he'll soon gather soldiers again to deal with you!"

Ye Liuyun, however, smiled and retorted: "Who said I let him go?"

"Oh?"

"What do you mean?"

The Imperial Family leader was also somewhat confused.

"Just look at your palm and you'll know!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

The Imperial Family leader, half-believing, opened his palm, only to discover a faint black aura appearing in his palm.

"Oh no, those medicinal herbs are poisonous!"

His subordinate beside him reacted first.

"Ah?"

"What do we do?"

The Imperial Family leader immediately panicked.

He then angrily shouted at Ye Liuyun: "Quickly bring the antidote!"

Ye Liuyun, however, laughed: "What antidote? I never intended for you to live at all!"

His subordinate, seeing this, while telling him to endure a bit, immediately drew his longsword and slashed straight at his arm.

"Ah!"

The Imperial Family leader was also completely dazed; after a miserable scream, his palm was already cut off by his subordinate.

"Use True Essence to heal the wound!"

The subordinate immediately reminded him and also gave him a detoxifying pill to swallow.

"Grab him!"

At the same time, he also had others go capture Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun showed no fear, drew the Demon Slaying Sword and went into battle.

But at this moment, the imperial family leader and his subordinates discovered that the blood at the severed hand had turned black.

This shows that the imperial family leader has been deeply poisoned.

Cutting off the hand is useless; the toxin has already spread throughout his body.

Seeing this, his subordinates immediately stepped back, afraid to get close, fearing they too would be poisoned.

He merely had everyone stop, then said to Ye Liuyun: "This is the sole son of the Left Minister, Xiao Yulang; as long as you hand over the antidote, feel free to make any demands."

Ye Liuyun glanced at him indifferently and asked, "What is your name?

Which faction are you from?"

The man was startled, but he still said, "My name is Ling Hai; my father is the Commander of the Punishment Office!"

At this moment, Xiao Yulang could no longer stand, collapsed directly onto the ground, clearly beyond saving.

Ye Liuyun, however, released a clone and directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on Ling Hai, then continued to strike at several other Martial Cultivators.

After the clone implanted a Slave Seal on Ling Hai, it went on to help Ye Liuyun eliminate the other Martial Cultivators, and even had a satisfying fight along the way.

Once they finished fighting, Xiao Yulang was already dead.

Ye Liuyun then took all the resources from his Storage Ring and pursued in the direction Liu Tianyi fled.

Ling Hai obediently followed behind Ye Liuyun, becoming his slave.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun found Liu Tianyi.

However, he wasn't dead yet; he was merely unable to mobilize his True Essence due to the poison, so he couldn't run.

At this moment he was still taking detox pills to control the poison.

"He's still not dead?

Consider yourself lucky; I'll spare your life for now!"

Ye Liuyun was also surprised; it seems this fellow's detox medicine is remarkably effective, and perhaps his fate is not yet sealed.

Thus Ye Liuyun implanted a Slave Seal on him, sucked out the poison from his body, and saved him.

"Thank you, master, for sparing my life!"

Liu Tianyi had also just been terrified enough to think he was done for.

Now that he has snatched back his life, although he feels resentful, under the Slave Seal's control he can only thank Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm!"

Ye Liuyun acknowledged with a sound, then had him and Ling Hai hand over all the resources from their Storage Rings, and then discarded the Storage Rings, lest they contain tracking devices.

Ling Hai and Liu Tianyi: Ling Hai is quite clever, Liu Tianyi possesses strong combat ability; neither is useless.

Therefore Ye Liuyun kept them, storing them in the Space World for future use.

In Ling Hai's eyes, Ye Liuyun, by his own power, caused the deaths of a group of people; he is certainly no mediocrity.

Thus, after sensing Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal method of control, he dared not entertain any thought of rebellion, fearing Ye Liuyun would directly render him useless as well.

But regarding those Martial Cultivators implanted with Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal, he now pays little heed to their thoughts, merely using the Slave Seal to firmly control them so they help him gather resources.

He also gradually realized that only by becoming stronger himself would his reliance on others diminish.

In the ensuing battles, Ye Liuyun grew increasingly adept and at ease.

With those Martial Cultivators helping to gather resources, Ye Liuyun's cultivation resources and time also increased more and more.
