Chapter 3144: with translation of chapter title
Ye Liuyun didn't prepare to let others help; he just let his two avatars move their souls into his Sea of Consciousness, waiting for him to first kill the Purple Mastiff, then they would act against other Martial Cultivators.
After Wu Xiang set up the formation, he immediately activated it, concealing Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun didn't wait long before his Golden Pupil spotted the Purple Mastiff and the Flying Boat behind it. He then stopped using his Golden Pupil to observe them, so as not to alert the Purple Mastiff.
After the Purple Mastiff arrived, it looked into the mountain range and indeed saw nothing unusual, assuming Ye Liuyun had disembarked from the Flying Boat and entered the mountains.
Then Jiang Yunmo also emerged from the Flying Boat, stowed it, and leading the twenty Martial Cultivator experts, followed behind the Purple Mastiff into the formation Wu Xiang had set up.
She had great confidence in the Golden Pupil of that Mastiff Monster Beast, feeling that no matter what tricks Ye Liuyun used, he was no match for them.
Ye Liuyun remained standing in place, waiting for the Purple Mastiff and the others to approach.
"I never expected Jiang Yunmo to come in person! But she didn't even notify the dynasty, just bringing Martial Cultivators—is she overconfident, or lacking solid evidence, and still wants to keep monitoring me?"
Ye Liuyun pondered in his mind, also considering how to deal with Jiang Yunmo.
Given the Fire Seal Dynasty's vigilance, if he controlled Jiang Yunmo, the royal court would surely find out immediately. However, he is now far enough from the dynasty that even if they wanted to send people here, it would take at least several hours.
"But we must act quickly against Jiang Yunmo, lest her Space World still have experts and soldiers!"
After Ye Liuyun made up his mind, as soon as they drew near, he immediately used Time Power to strike first.
Only then did he reactivate his Golden Pupil.
And at that moment he also saw that the Golden Pupil on the Purple Mastiff's Soul, under Ye Liuyun's Time Power, was still rotating and immediately locked onto Ye Liuyun.
"This Golden Pupil is indeed powerful!"
Ye Liuyun inwardly admired it, and without waiting for it to attack, he directly shot out Black Light, annihilating the Purple Mastiff's Soul. Once the Purple Mastiff's Soul was destroyed, the Golden Pupil on its Soul instantly dimmed, floating in its Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Liuyun immediately released a Soul, taking that Golden Pupil into his Sea of Consciousness. The Ten Thousand Gods Command's Golden Light flashed, purifying the Golden Pupil, erasing all Divine Sense on it, and then left it for Ye Liuyun.
As he killed the Purple Mastiff, the other five Souls acted together.
Jiang Yunmo carried a Defense Artifact, but Ye Liuyun's three Souls working together broke it open. In her Sea of Consciousness there was also a Poison Soul Flower and a Defense Bell.
Ye Liuyun's Souls also refined the Poison Soul Flower, so they were immune to poison; the Defense Bell wasn't activated, and Ye Liuyun directly implanted Slave Seals on Jiang Yunmo's two Souls, then withdrew to help control the others.
The twenty Martial Cultivators following Jiang Yunmo all wore defensive-offensive treasures, apparently prepared to defend against Ye Liuyun's Spiritual Soul Attacks and illusion attacks. However, their defensive treasures weren't as strong as Jiang Yunmo's; Ye Liuyun used one Soul to break their defensive treasure and another Soul to implant Slave Seals on them, and the speed was quite fast.
Ye Liuyun now had enough Time Power to control these people, and then he conveniently stored their Physical Bodies in the Space World to prevent further changes, after which he restored the Time Flow Speed.
The Souls in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness also returned to their avatars' bodies, preparing to conduct Soul Searches on these individuals respectively to learn more details.
The Purple Mastiff's humanoid Physical Body couldn't hold up either, and it immediately revealed its true form: a black Mastiff comparable in size to Bai Hu.
Suddenly, from Jiang Yunmo's and the Purple Mastiff's Storage Rings each flew out two Return to One Nine Layers Late Stage experts.
"Huh?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected they still had such a setup.
Jiang Yunmo was under his control, the Purple Mastiff was killed, yet their Storage Rings still produced experts, indicating these four experts were not under their control but rather someone else was controlling these experts.
However, in Ye Liuyun's Space World, as soon as those four experts emerged, their bodies couldn't move at all, and even their True Essence and the Space World's power were completely suppressed.
The four individuals' Souls immediately rushed toward Ye Liuyun and his avatars, but their Divine Soul Power was too weak for Ye Liuyun and his avatars. Ye Liuyun and his avatars implanted Slave Seals on them and immediately began Soul Searches to see who was controlling these four Martial Cultivator experts.
After the Soul Search, he learned that these Martial Cultivator experts were all sent by the Third Prince to protect Jiang Yunmo and the Purple Mastiff. Fortunately, he and his two avatars had not yet reverted to their original appearances; the Third Prince already knew they were being controlled, but he hadn't seen Ye Liuyun's true appearance.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun immediately conducted another Soul Search on Jiang Yunmo to confirm whether she still hid any power, and only then did he discover a great secret.
As it turned out, this Jiang Yunmo was actually a false princess. The true Princess Jiang Yunmo was still confined within her Space World!
The Jiang Yunmo before him merely resembled the real one, her true name being Wei Yushan, who was inadvertently discovered by the Third Prince and taken in as a maid. Three years ago, the Third Prince took advantage of the real Jiang Yunmo's lack of vigilance, captured her, and had Wei Yushan impersonate her.
That Purple Mastiff was originally Jiang Yunmo's pet beast, but Wei Yushan trapped it with a Formation, after it inhaled the bewildering mist, Wei Yushan forcibly implanted a Slave Seal on it.
The Third Prince's control over Jiang Yunmo was merely to vie for the throne, letting Jiang Yunmo's Sacred Fire Merchant Guild supply him with resources.
"Royal heirs really will do anything for the throne!"
Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly, having Wei Yushan release the true Princess Jiang Yunmo. The two standing together really were quite alike; only subtle differences, which one wouldn't notice without close scrutiny. Probably no one would scrutinize a princess that closely.
Jiang Yunmo lived quite well, merely with her True Essence sealed, and she hadn't been mistreated. Ye Liuyun also immediately performed a Soul Search on her, and indeed discovered a royal guard's seal in her Sea of Consciousness.
However, Jiang Yunmo was also a competitive person. Since the Fire Seal Dynasty had no precedent for a woman ascending the throne, she began to consider the Merchant Guild, thinking it wouldn't be bad to use the Guild to vie for status. Yet she still underestimated the struggle among the royal heirs, and inadvertently fell into Jiang Yunyang's scheme.
Ye Liuyun immediately explained the situation to her, wanting to hear her own opinion on how to handle her afterward. He didn't want to keep her confined in his Space World forever.
But to let her go, he also had to ensure she wouldn't leak his information. He also didn't want to rescue a princess for nothing; he had to profit from this affair.
