Chapter 3103: Deliberate Lure

Hong Bo didn't know what Ye Liuyun had bought, but from his conversation with Hei Teng and a few exchanges of Storage Rings, he could guess that Ye Liuyun had bought a lot.

He guessed that Ye Liuyun might be flaunting his wealth. The old slicksters who have been hanging around here for years should also be able to tell that Ye Liuyun is a fat lamb. So he had already secretly sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun, reminding him to watch for tailing.

Ye Liuyun replied with a nod and indeed did not let his guard down, using his Divine Sense to monitor the surroundings. He also truly noticed that some people occasionally scanned him with their Divine Sense, as if casually, yet they kept following him.

He didn't leave immediately either, still scanning the area with his Golden Pupil. He wanted to see if he could find any other good items.

But he didn't find anything better afterward; he only came across a few inner-door disciples of the Xu Dan Sect, cloaked in black robes, selling the pills they had refined.

Their realms were all Guiyi Fifth and Sixth Layers, yet they could refine true‑grade Seventh and Eighth‑quality pills, making them fairly gifted Alchemists. However, their background and resources within the Sect were insufficient, so they could only trade their self‑made pills for some cultivation resources.

Ye Liuyun used his Red Eye to cast an illusion, showing these people a world abundant in spiritual energy. There the herbs and cultivation resources were plentiful, and there were Alchemists who could refine Void‑grade pills to guide them.

The master of that world also gave them a chance to enter it. Thus those originally resource‑poor disciples, overlooked in the Sect, were all tempted and prepared to go see that world.

Ye Liuyun also used the Red Pupil Illusion Technique to have them wait for instructions, then gather at a designated spot so he could lead them away together.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun left the Black Market with Hong Bo, planning to first eliminate some tailing remnants, then deal with Hei Teng, and finally subdue those Xu Dan Sect disciples.

Ye Liuyun hadn't gone far when his Divine Sense detected two groups trailing them, each with over twenty people. Each group was led by a Martial Cultivator of Guiyi Ninth Layer Early Stage, while the others were at Guiyi Seventh and Eighth Layers. With such strength, a normal robbery would leave them no chance to escape.

Ye Liuyun pretended not to see them, continuing to lure the pursuers farther away. When he sensed Hei Teng's Divine Sense imprint rushing toward him, he stopped to let the two groups catch up.

One group had everyone cloaked in black robes, their faces hidden except for their eyes, staring at Ye Liuyun. The other group showed their faces openly, swaggering around, clearly intending to rob outright.

Hong Bo stepped forward at once and said to the two Guiyi Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators leading the groups: "Brother Ge, Brother Hidden Robe, long time no see. This person is my friend, actually not very wealthy. You two, give me some face…

But before he finished, Brother Ge sneered, "Hong Bo, what face do you have before us? Can your face outweigh Primordial Power?"

"Hahaha!" The crowd behind him also burst into laughter.

"Master, now that these people have made a move, they probably won't stop willingly!" Hong Bo realized the situation was bad; he guessed they wouldn't let them go.

The leader of the black‑robed group said bluntly, "Enough talk, hand over the loot and scram, or die!"

"Master, should we strike first?" Hong Bo asked Ye Liuyun immediately, fearing that if they acted first they would be at a disadvantage. He knew Ye Liuyun's power was considerable and wasn't afraid of them.

Ye Liuyun thought their strength was indeed impressive; killing them was possible, but better to keep them as his own forces, even if just for training. So he immediately released a clone, used Time Power to freeze time, and then planted a Slave Seal on each of them one by one.

However, the Sea of Consciousness of these Martial Cultivators had virtually no defenses. Ye Liuyun's Time Power had grown stronger; without even using his clone, he alone subdued them all.

When time resumed, Ye Liuyun ordered the two leading heads to gather all their subordinates.

Hong Bo was still nervous in his heart,

He then saw Ye Liuyun issuing commands to them, and the two heads immediately complied, using Transmission Talisman to summon all their men to rush over as reinforcements.

His mouth dropped open in surprise. "They're all controlled? What technique did the master use to instantly control so many?" he thought to himself, but didn't dare ask Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun ignored his thoughts and immediately sucked everyone into the Space World, waiting alone for Hei Teng.

Soon, Hei Teng appeared within the range of Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness scan. Hei Teng also detected Ye Liuyun; their Divine Soul Power was close, with little difference.

"Huh? Where are those two pursuing groups?" Hei Teng thought, a bit puzzled.

He only paused briefly, then continued the chase. He assumed Ye Liuyun had used some invisibility technique to evade the two groups.

"No one better, that saves me a lot of trouble!" he thought.

Ye Liuyun, a Guiyi Fourth Layer Martial Cultivator, didn't even consider them. Besides his strong Divine Soul Power, he possessed the Red Eye that could cast illusion, plus a hidden realm, so he was fully confident in his strength.

Hei Teng's speed was also swift. In a few breaths, he had already surged to Ye Liuyun's front, showing his Space Power wasn't weak either.

He was wrapped in a black robe, thinking Ye Liuyun wouldn't recognize him. Yet Ye Liuyun was the first to use his Red Eye on him, wanting to test whose Red Eye was stronger.

Hei Teng immediately felt the illusion attack, using his Divine Soul Power to resist Ye Liuyun's illusion while also employing his Red Eye against Ye Liuyun.

Their Red Eyes differed—one on the Divine Soul, one on the Physical Body—but both were casting illusion.

But the one at a loss was definitely Hei Teng; the Ten Thousand Gods Command in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness burst into Golden Light, blocking his illusion. Ye Liuyun's Red Eye, however, greatly affected Hei Teng. If he didn't have his own Red Eye and deep knowledge of illusion, he couldn't have repelled Ye Liuyun's Red Eye attack.

So he immediately released his realm's pressure, preparing to strike Ye Liuyun directly.

Ye Liuyun tried it and found the effects similar, not wanting him to launch an attack, so he instantly used Time Power to yank that serpentine soul directly into his Sea of Consciousness for a Soul Search. Through the Soul Search, Ye Liuyun confirmed that Hei Teng indeed came from a different Beast World. That world had no humans, only beasts of many kinds, and it even had a Dragon Clan.

Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun confirmed that Black Teng indeed came from a different Beast World. That world had no humans, only beasts, and indeed there were many types, and there truly existed a Dragon Clan.
