Chapter 3132: The Dynasty's Emphasis

Ye Liuyun's spatial lock was removed, and the corpses and the sliced Flying Boats kept falling to the ground, pounding with a bang‑bang sound.

Suddenly, behind Ye Tiandao's team, a black‑clad assassin appeared, already at the Ninth Layer Early Stage, and with one slash he cleaved off a Tang family disciple's head, then swung his blade toward another disciple.

The black‑clad assassin was extremely fast; if Ye Liuyun hadn't noticed his movement, he could have killed all the Tang family disciples in a few blows.

Ye Liuyun immediately employed Time Power to freeze time, then his Soul surged into the assassin's Sea of Consciousness and began a Soul Search on him.

The assassin belonged to the Fire Seal Dynasty's assassin squad. They were ordered to covertly assist the new bandits in eliminating Ye Tiandao and the Demon Race. This time three assassins were sent, and the other two had already gone to kill two clones.

However, because the two clones' Spatial Power and strength were both great, they hadn't yet found an opportunity.

All three assassins were at the Ninth Layer Early Stage, and their Spatial Power was not weak. If Ye Liuyun's move hadn't exceeded normal limits, directly translocating the opponent, his Spatial Power might not have been able to deal with the assassin.

At this moment, the other two clones also projected their Souls outward to search the surroundings for the other two assassins, and soon located them.

Thus the three of them acted simultaneously, planting a Slave Seal on each of the three assassins. Then Ye Liuyun restored the Time Flow Speed, allowing the three assassins to be captured by the Second Clone into the Space World.

One Tang family disciple died and another was wounded. Yet Ye Liuyun did not intend to use Time Power to alter their fate. Apart from those close to him, he does not reveal this special ability to others. Moreover, he believes this is their own destiny and he should not meddle arbitrarily.

Ye Tiandao and the others immediately became alert, recalling the three Ninth Layer Martial Cultivators they had released, stationing them around their team, and assigning the two clones to kill those bandits.

Ye Liuyun did not rush to act, but instead speculated on what the Fire Seal Dynasty would do next.

Those assassins had already sent their appearances back to the Dynasty, and the Dynasty would certainly not let them go. Moreover, having controlled the three assassins, the Dynasty would certainly know, and even if the bandit leader provided false information, the Fire Seal Dynasty would not believe it, likely rendering any time‑delay effect useless.

But keeping him allows a test of the Fire Seal Dynasty's attitude.

At this point, the bandit leader also received an inquiry from the Fire Seal Dynasty. Ye Liuyun immediately had him reply that the three assassins had all fallen in battle, and the other side also had three Ninth Layer Mid Stage strongmen. He also reported to the Dynasty that their bandit group was almost completely annihilated, all being counter‑killed, and only he escaped.

After receiving the information, the Fire Seal Dynasty said nothing else, merely ordering him to monitor Ye Tiandao's group.

Although the Fire Seal Dynasty spoke casually, just telling him to continue monitoring, Ye Liuyun knows the Dynasty must now value him.

He caused a stir over at the Wasteland Sea World, then appeared here to assault the Dynasty's Forward Outpost Star System; the Fire Seal Dynasty will surely hunt him down thereafter.

Thus he subsequently eliminated that bandit leader, then informed the two Demon Race armies: "The Fire Seal Dynasty will soon dispatch troops to encircle us; you must hurry to gather resources and be ready to withdraw at any moment. I will send you a few more strongmen; split your forces and accelerate the advance."

Afterwards he had his clones pull Tang Xinyao and the women into the Space World, while he took the three Ninth Layer Mid Stage Martial Cultivators to the Demon Race armies to speed up their advance.

The clones, together with the Monster Beasts, exterminated the bandits here and then began to divide tasks. The First Clone, with the Monster Beasts and Magic Vine, continued to eradicate the remaining cities; the Second Clone, with the Demon Lion, rushed to other planets, sending the Demon Lion to steal more resources, and the Second Clone also kept watch in Xingkong for Flying Boats and Warships dispatched by the Fire Seal Dynasty.

The First Clone, with the Monster Beasts, moved in, splitting into three squads, storming straight into the merchant guild and Chengzhu Fu to loot everything, then began bombarding the cities, turning them into ruins in a short time. In two days it swept through all the cities on this planet, and then...

... the entire planet was pulled into the Space World.

Some missed bandits, when the planet was being captured, flew into Xingkong and were also slain by them; the slower‑reacting bandits were pulled into the Space World together with the planet. The First Clone also exterminated them all, stuffing the corpses into Storage Rings for the Magic Vine.

The Magic Vine, within the First Clone's Space World, continued to dig through each city, devouring the corpses.

The First Clone stopped capturing planets and immediately went to rendezvous with the Demon Race army. Two days later the Second Clone returned with the Demon Lion. The two Demon Race armies also accelerated; after seizing a planet, they were pulled into the Space World by the First Clone.

Then Ye Liuyun altered his appearance, used the teleportation Black Tower to return to the Wasteland Sea World, released two Magic Flood Dragons as guardians, and sank to the sea floor to cultivate.

A few days later, the Fire Seal Dynasty's assassin squad arrived at the Bridge Crossing Star System, but could no longer find any trace of Ye Liuyun's people, not even the Demon Race army. Afterwards, ten thousand Imperial Guard troops of the Fire Seal Dynasty also rushed here, sealing off the entire Bridge Crossing Star System, yet still found no information.

The Fire Seal Dynasty, via Ye Liuyun's movement trace, guessed he possessed a long‑range teleportation artifact and realized he must have fled. So after searching around, they could only withdraw their forces.

At the same time, Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan was finally sent back to the Dynasty by the garrison of a planet.

In his Sea of Consciousness he still remembered Ye Liuyun robbing him, his hatred for Ye Liuyun lingering, yet he dared not expose his own failure, waiting for a future chance to take revenge on Ye Liuyun.

The Fire Seal Dynasty, unable to locate Ye Liuyun, lifted all blockades in Xingkong, but still left many assassins around the planets near the Wasteland Sea World and the Bridge Crossing Star System, covertly searching for Ye Liuyun's trail.

Ye Liuyun, however, led everyone to quietly cultivate for a month, refining his Fifth Layer Late‑stage Divine Core to be more condensed. Regular sparring with those three Dynasty assassins also greatly enhanced his Spatial Power.

Now he uses Spatial Power to become invisible, far surpassing the effect of an Invisibility Cloak. Even using Heaven and Earth Power to hide, the result is still better than an Invisibility Cloak.

"No treasure is stronger than one's own strength!" Ye Liuyun sighed.

After his cultivation, he did not rush to bring everyone out, but altered his appearance and hurried to the He family's garrison on the Gold Stone Planet. He now has no shortage of alchemists and artificers, but materials are still not abundant, so he is preparing to raid some He family Mineral Veins and Fan family medicinal herb bases.
