Chapter 3210: Not at All Concerned

Ye Liuyun didn't even bother to waste words on anyone else, and directly gave his own side a single order: "Kill!"

A scion of a noble family, a City Lord's son—since they dared to scheme against him, he killed them on the spot, without any need to care. He even dared to kill a prince; why fear these people?

All the strong ones on his side immediately charged at the Martial Cultivators released by Jiang Yunhan. The black‑armored elite soldiers, meanwhile, attacked Cheng Qifeng and the others.

Cheng Qifeng's group had low cultivation levels and were no match for the black‑armored elite soldiers. They immediately surrendered and begged for mercy, but Ye Liuyun was unmoved, and the black‑armored troops kept striking, a palm or a blade eliminating one after another, instantly wiping out all the Martial Cultivators, leaving only Jiang Yunhan.

"You, come over, I'm still waiting to invite you!" Ye Liuyun said, looking at Jiang Yunhan with a cold smile.

Jiang Yunhan trembled as he walked toward Ye Liuyun, voluntarily handing over every resource he possessed, leaving nothing behind, even handing over his Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun used his Soul Red Eye to cast an illusion on him, confirming that he had handed over all resources, then made him surrender the poisonous soul flower and the defensive and offensive treasures from his Sea of Consciousness.

Then he collected the resources, devoured Jiang Yunhan's primary Soul, discarded his Transmission Talisman and Storage Ring, then had the snow wolf claw out his Primordial Core, and only then placed Jiang Yunhan into a Storage Ring.

He feared that killing Jiang Yunhan too early would prompt the Fire Seal Dynasty to station troops at the Secret Realm's entrance, making his exit from the Secret Realm more troublesome.

After a few of the strong ones released by Jiang Yunhan were slain, the remaining ones realized they could not win nor escape the encirclement of the black‑armored elite soldiers, and immediately surrendered.

Ye Liuyun individually placed Slave Seals on them, letting them stay outside to scout for him.

He had his men retrieve all the Storage Rings from the corpses and bring his own people back.

"These over forty people, enough for the expedition, right?" he finally smiled and asked Luo Yu.

Luo Yu was still in shock.

"You disabled the prince?" she murmured to Ye Liuyun, unable to pay attention to anyone else.

"Fire Seal Dynasty's prince, I've already killed one, robbed one, and I wouldn't mind disabling another! This family

was never valued; even collecting a ransom is a hassle, so I'll just disable them outright and kill them later when they get out!"

Ye Liuyun was completely indifferent. Yet his words made the over forty strong ones left outside shudder all over.

He split the newly captured people into two squads: one to scout ahead, the other to guard behind, and they continued the expedition as if nothing had happened.

Luo Yu followed Ye Liuyun in a daze, still unable to recover from the shock of his casual handling of the prince.

When Ye Liuyun reached the Royal Palace entrance, he left ten strong ones behind: "You stay and eliminate all the Martial Cultivators behind you, leave none, so no news leaks!"

"Yes." The ten strong ones replied, concealed themselves near the Royal Palace entrance, waiting for the other exploring Martial Cultivators to arrive.

Luo Yu snapped back to reality, considered Ye Liuyun's plan, and thought he was not only bold and domineering but also extremely cautious. To exit the Secret Realm they must pass through the Royal Palace, so no one could leak the secret of how they obtained the cultivation technique.

"No wonder even the Fire Seal Dynasty headaches over him. I spent ages puzzling over something, and he just casually assigned people to do it!" Luo Yu said, watching Ye Liuyun from behind, gradually admiring him.

Ye Liuyun didn't care what she was thinking. Inside the Royal Palace the situation was completely different, perhaps due to Formation protection; everything was clean and tidy. Though there were no figures at all, it wasn't as desolate as outside.

At this moment he opened his Divine Sense, carefully surveying every part of the Royal Palace. Especially the few resource‑rich spots, he needed to inspect closely, but many areas were blocked by Formations, preventing him from probing their conditions.

"Treasure Vault, Library… all the items are still here!"

Just seeing these, Ye Liuyun already felt the trip hadn't been in vain.

After scanning the area, he found no danger, yet became even more cautious.

"Go scout ahead, be careful!" he ordered the newly captured Martial Cultivators to continue forward. Since no danger was found, they could only proceed step by step.

Those strong ones first placed three people at the front, with the others behind keeping distance, moving forward cautiously.

But the three just as they entered a small plaza in the front hall

stopped to sound the alarm. Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense sensed a strong Divine Sense fluctuation emanating from the rooms surrounding the plaza.

"So many Divine Sense fluctuations!"

Ye Liuyun was also startled; given the number of fluctuations, it couldn't be just one person. His Golden Pupil looked around and saw rooms filled with sets of golden armor and weapons. The fluctuations were emanating from those armors.

"This must have been the former guards' barracks," Ye Liuyun thought. The situation inside the Royal Palace was the same as what he'd seen before—everyone seemed to have vanished suddenly. Thus the armor and weapons were left in place.

Now, each of those armors generated Divine Sense fluctuations, and at this moment they all stood up, brandishing weapons, clearly the remnants of their former owners' Divine Sense still lingering, intent on continuing to guard the Royal Palace.

Soon the guard rooms' doors burst open, and nearly two hundred golden‑armored guards rushed out. Their Divine Sense manifested the former owners' appearances, attacking the three Martial Cultivators.

"Test their strength!" Ye Liuyun transmitted a voice to the three front Martial Cultivators.

The three struck at the golden‑armored guards, who immediately countered, but they were only sustained by residual Divine Sense, far weaker than in life; Ye Liuyun estimated their combat power to be at Ninth Layer Early Stage.

However, their armor and weapons were of the void grade, giving them high defense and attack.

"All of you attack together, try different methods to eradicate these Divine Sense!"

Ye Liuyun immediately transmitted a voice to the others.

Thus the over twenty strong ones at the front all acted together, trying various elemental forces. Yet the guards' high‑grade armor reduced the damage from those elemental attacks.

A Martial Cultivator with a strong Soul reported to Ye Liuyun: "Using Spiritual Soul Attack can easily eradicate these Divine Sense." After reporting, he swiftly employed Spiritual Soul Attack to annihilate the Divine Sense, and the effect was indeed obvious.

Consequently the others also released their Souls, almost instantly wiping out the Divine Sense of the golden‑armored guards completely. Even a weak Soul of a Ninth Layer Late Stage strong one still far outmatches those Divine Sense.
