Chapter 3252: Hunting the God King

At that moment, the entire space suddenly generated a forbidden‑space force.

Ye Liuyun examined carefully with his Golden Pupil and found that the forbidden‑space force originated from several surrounding Xingqiu.

"What a grand design! It seems those Xingqiu had already accounted for this when they formed the array, enabling coordinated defense. Since they won't let me leave, don't expect to heal peacefully either!"

Ye Liuyun immediately made a decisive decision: judging from the current encirclement, breaking through at Jiang Yuantang is the best option.

Although he knew Jiang Yuantang was hard to kill, he still charged toward Jiang Yuantang with his two clones and other Martial Cultivators, releasing Snow Wolf, two Magic Flood Dragons, and that double‑void‑tier puppet beast.

Within his Space World, armies from all directions had already assembled, ready to deploy at any moment.

Luo Yu was so shocked she could not speak. In the aftermath of the battle, she forgot to dodge, and it was Demon Wolf's Physical Body that shielded her.

"He really dared to strike! He even severely wounded the Fire Seal King!"

In Luo Yu's memory, the Fire Seal King's status was not to be provoked. Yet Ye Liuyun not only dared to act, but after severely wounding the Fire Seal King, he drove him away.

If this news spread, it would shock not only Luo Yu but everyone in the entire Xing Xi.

And now, Ye Liuyun actually led people to hunt down the Fire Seal King!

"Such bold, reckless action could only be done by him!"

Luo Yu glanced at the backs of Ye Liuyun's followers and suddenly thought that only Ye Liuyun could possess such strength.

Ye Liuyun erased from Luo Yu and Demon Wolf's Sea of Consciousness the portions concerning his power; Luo Yu therefore does not currently understand Ye Liuyun's strength. So her initial suspicion of him was quite natural.

But now, after Ye Liuyun and his companions surged forward, Demon Wolf signaled her to make a decision, and she caught on. Ye Liuyun had just rescued her, so she certainly would not abandon him and flee alone.

She immediately released the double‑void‑tier Metal Puppet Beast that Ye Liuyun had given her, and, together with Demon Wolf, followed Ye Liuyun to strike.

Ye Liuyun's pursuit of the Fire Seal King impressed her profoundly. Had he not erased her earlier memories, she would now trust him even more and would not be so startled by the forces surrounding him.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense

He noticed she had followed and was ready to aid him, which improved his impression of her considerably. He also recalled that he had erased many of her memories, so he understood Luo Yu's initial doubt.

Luo Yu had steadfastly stood on her side in the Secret Realm, and this time was no different, making him feel his rescue of Luo Yu was not in vain and that he must get her out safely.

"Stay close to me. If danger arises, I'll pull you into the Space World!" Ye Liuyun transmitted this via Transmission Voice to Luo Yu.

"Alright!" Luo Yu replied, accelerated forward, and let Demon Wolf and the Metal Puppet Beast join the fight.

Jiang Yuantang, who was healing, did not expect Ye Liuyun to dare attack him.

He had assumed Ye Liuyun wouldn't dare move against him, so his reinforcements could arrive quickly; no matter which direction Ye Liuyun fled, he would be trapped here.

He also anticipated that Ye Liuyun had no large army this time; as long as the void was sealed, Ye Liuyun, relying only on the Martial Cultivators nearby, could not break out.

In fact, if Ye Liuyun truly handed him the technique, he would, upon receiving it, act against Ye Liuyun. The forbidden‑space Formation he set up was meant as a fallback.

But now that Ye Liuyun is charging at him, he feels uneasy. He clearly underestimated Ye Liuyun; the strong ones beside Ye Liuyun were clad in void‑tier battle armor, far stronger than his own Martial Cultivators.

"Stop them!"

Nevertheless, Jiang Yuantang ordered his men to act immediately, then released a hundred Martial Cultivators to shield himself, using a first‑rank void‑tier palace relic, retreating inside while those hundred cultivators escorted him out.

He was already severely wounded and feared another surprise attack from strong foes, so he dared not rely on larger forces.

"Want to leave? I haven't left yet!"

Ye Liuyun let out a cold snort and immediately deployed two thousand black‑armored elite soldiers toward Jiang Yuantang.

In recent months, the black‑armored elites had already been fitted with upgraded void‑tier armor. When these two thousand high‑end troops appeared, they split into three squads: one of a thousand surged straight at Jiang Yuantang, while two squads of five hundred each moved to flank and intercept.

Ye Liuyun also used his Golden Pupil to relocate his double‑void‑tier Metal Puppet Beast, sending it to assault the Grand Hall where Jiang Yuantang stood, preventing Jiang Yuantang from escaping amid the melee.

The two clones at this moment also unleashed Protective Divine Seals, slashing at the fifty incoming strong ones.

Although their numbers were few, their strength was great; over thirty against fifty gave them a clear advantage. Moreover, such duels among strong cultivators are often decided within one or two moves, extremely swift.

Especially Luo Yu's double‑void‑tier puppet beast, as if in an empty realm, single‑handedly eliminated seven or eight Martial Cultivator strong ones.

The fifty men Jiang Yuantang released held the line only briefly before being slaughtered by Ye Liuyun's forces.

Ye Liuyun, staying at the rear of the formation, did not engage directly but monitored the entire battle, extending his Divine Sense to prevent ambushes and to watch the imperial reinforcements' movements.

Luo Yu was also assigned a task: she took out a specialized Storage Ring to gather corpses, occasionally delivering a finishing sword strike to some heavily wounded enemies.

Tong Xin and other artificers equipped the two Xuanwu ferocious beasts with treasures that defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks, then promptly released them to guard Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun and his companions eliminated those intercepting Martial Cultivators, they immediately pursued Jiang Yuantang at full speed.

Before Ye Liuyun could reach him, he used his Golden Pupil to leap across space, wielding Golden Crow Holy Fire and lightning to strike the Martial Cultivators guarding the Grand Hall around Jiang Yuantang, clearing obstacles for the puppet beast.

Second Clone also employed curses to augment its attacks. Though curses had long been unused and were barely effective against these Unity‑realm Martial Cultivators—taking a long time to drain their vitality—they still somewhat affected the cultivators' combat.

First Clone used Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to influence those cultivators' True Essence, which likewise only had a modifying effect, requiring them to engage in additional joint practice.

The first split self uses the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to affect the True Essence of those Martial Cultivators, and likewise can only have an influencing effect, still requiring them to engage in more joint practice.

Inside the Grand Hall where Jiang Yuantang stood, a booming sound rang out. Ye Liuyun's puppet beast had already begun bombarding the hall.

The hall's rank was not very high, so Jiang Yuantang likely could not hold it for long, and facing Ye Liuyun's two thousand elite troops, he knew that even unleashing all protective forces within his Space World would not last long.

Thus he immediately altered course, veering toward a distant Warship.

Ye Liuyun understood his intention: to have the main army intercept him briefly, buying him a chance to breathe. Yet he did not issue a new order, simply letting everyone continue the pursuit.

Ye Liuyun understood his intention—to have the army intercept him briefly, giving him a chance to catch his breath—but they did not reissue the order, only let everyone continue the chase.
