Chapter 3086: Layer‑by‑Layer Control

"Ha ha, look at me—when I got excited I forgot to thank you! You went to such trouble for my affairs, I've noted this favor! Quickly go to the living room, sit down and chat."

Fan Yuzeng saw that Fan Xin's handling of affairs suited him, and his attitude immediately improved, and he promptly let Fan Xin come with him to the living room.

"Perfect, we can chat while we wait for news.

Quickly tell me about that Golden Crow Holy Fire."

After Fan Yuzeng let Fan Xin sit down, he also had a maid nearby bring tea to Fan Xin.

Ye Liuyun saw that there was no one else in the living room, and immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, planting a Slave Seal on Fan Yuzeng.

Many Elders of the Fan Clan stay on their own Xingqiu year‑round, and normally they do not wear items that defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks.

Therefore Ye Liuyun's Spiritual Soul Attack succeeded with ease.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun controlled Fan Yuzeng to chat idly with him.

After the maid finished serving tea, Fan Yuzeng dismissed the maid, and then was pulled into the Space World by Ye Liuyun, who sent a clone to conduct a thorough Soul Search.

Ye Liuyun then released another clone that took on Fan Xin's appearance, while he himself assumed Fan Yuzeng's appearance.

After a while, the clone disguised as Fan Xin returned to his residence, and the Ye Liuyun‑disguised Fan Yuzeng immediately went to find the Administrator Elder Fan Yurong here.

Fan Yuzeng intended to send his offspring to the Xu Dan Sect to study alchemy, using Fan Yurong's connections.

Fan Yurong is already considered a strong member of the Fan Clan, having reached the Ninth Layer Mid Stage.

However, he lives alone, and usually stays in the Cultivation Room beside the Council Grand Hall to practice.

If anyone comes to see him about something, he generally handles it right there in the Cultivation Room.

Ye Liuyun is the same; when he went to find Fan Yurong, Fan Yurong simply used Transmission Voice to invite him into the Cultivation Room.

But as soon as he entered the Cultivation Room, before he could even greet Fan Yurong, Fan Yurong released a clone, which was also at the Ninth Layer Mid Stage.

"Elder Fan Yurong, what are you doing?"

Ye Liuyun, imitating Fan Yuzeng's tone, asked Fan Yurong in confusion.

Fan Yuzeng had not known before that Fan Yurong also had a clone at the Ninth Layer Mid Stage.

"Hmph! How dare you impersonate a Fan Clan elder; I'm not so easily fooled!"

Fan Yurong let out a cold snort, and he and his clone's four Souls surged into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Indeed, Fan Yurong proved to be a veteran strongman; his Divine Soul Power was surprisingly similar to Ye Liuyun's.

He originally thought that his four Souls acting together would be enough to deal with Ye Liuyun.

But unexpectedly, once his four Souls entered Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, they were all seized by Ye Liuyun's Ten Thousand Gods Command.

Ye Liuyun immediately initiated a Soul Search, to see how he discovered the impersonation and also to check whether he had spread the rumor of impersonating an elder.

After completing the Soul Search, he finally relaxed.

It turned out Fan Yurong grew suspicious because his Storage Ring was off, and the footstep sounds and the casual door‑closing after entering the Cultivation Room didn't match Fan Yuzeng's.

However, due to the pressing time and his own arrogance, he hadn't had a chance to relay this information.

Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, planted Slave Seals on him and his clone, and sent them back to their own Sea of Consciousness.

Fan Yurong now deeply regretted his momentary carelessness, having inadvertently trapped both himself and his clone.

But his regret came too late; he could only obey Ye Liuyun's command as dictated by the Slave Seal.

Ye Liuyun felt rather embarrassed, not expecting that his slight oversight almost ruined everything.

Previously, Fan Cheng, Fan Xin and Fan Yuzeng weren't especially close; they rarely observed each other closely, so they missed those details, whereas Fan Yurong was very familiar with Fan Yuzeng and observed him more carefully.

Fortunately, everything turned out without incident; he is now inside Fan Yurong's Cultivation Room, and those outside remain unaware of what happened.

He instructed Fan Yurong to withdraw his clone, pull him into the Space World as well, then release two clones—one mimicking Fan Yuzeng, the other mimicking Fan Yurong.

This time, he scrutinized the two, replicating even easily overlooked details like the Storage Ring.

The Storage Ring he wore was originally made of gilt metal, capable of changing shape or vanishing at will.

Only after he was satisfied with his transformation did he allow Fan Yuzeng to return first.

Through layer‑by‑layer control, he seized the outer gate, inner gate, and the chief administrator, and now he will study how to deal with the remaining people.

He gathered Fan Xin, Fan Yuzeng, and Fan Yurong within the Space World, using Slave Seals to compel them to brainstorm together.

"I will take this Xingqiu away.

Now I need to devise a way to drive all the Fan Clan disciples out of here.

If a large number of elders and disciples were poisoned, how would you handle it?"

Ye Liuyun asked the three of them.

He intended to scare the Fan Clan's disciples away by poisoning.

"That would indeed make the disciples withdraw temporarily, but the protecting strong ones certainly cannot leave.

Moreover, there is an elder here who possesses a Yulu Pill that can detoxify."

Fan Yurong told Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, first summon him, subdue him, and then subdue those protecting strong ones.

I'll have my clone poison them immediately to cooperate with you."

After making the arrangements, Ye Liuyun promptly had the two clones poison the nearby disciples.

Soon someone reported to Fan Yurong, and the Ye Liuyun‑disguised Fan Yurong first summoned the elder who could detoxify.

Unexpectedly, the one who arrived was a female elder named Fan Yuqian.

Ye Liuyun, indifferent to gender, immediately planted a Slave Seal on her, then led her to gather all the strong ones to the Council Grand Hall, and even had a few poisoned disciples carried outside the hall for display.

First, Ye Liuyun covertly set up toxins in the Grand Hall; once the strong ones arrived, he pretended to announce to them: "Both the inner and outer gates have suddenly erupted in poisoning incidents; I suspect someone deliberately poisoned us.

The poison spread extremely fiercely, even Elder Fan Yuqian's Yulu Pill was powerless.

I intend to have the disciples temporarily withdraw to avoid it.

But the guarding duties here will probably have to be handed over to you all."

Those strong cultivators, seeing the poisoned disciples, saw that some had already turned into a puddle of black water, and they also guessed the poison was very potent; immediately someone used True Essence to shield their body.

Ye Liuyun didn't care either.

They only now thought to protect themselves, but it was already too late.

The moment they entered the Grand Hall, Ye Liuyun had already activated the poison.

Those toxins have now entered their bodies, and he is just waiting for them to erupt.

"We have no objections, Elder Yu Rong, please feel free to give the orders!"

Those strong cultivators, on the other hand, all did their duty and did not flee.

"Alright then!"

Ye Liuyun also immediately had someone convey the order, letting the disciples of the Inner Door and Outer Door withdraw at once, while the Inner Door Elders and Outer Door Elders gathered together to discuss personnel deployment and guard duties.
