Chapter 3276

The first clone transformed outside the camp into a local martial cultivator, disguising as a rebel, and had already gathered more than thirty martial cultivators, so after the dynasty's strongmen arrived, many first sought them out to inquire about the situation.

Some were more courteous, some more arrogant, but as long as no one noticed, the first clone would secretly poison them; after those martial cultivator strongmen fell unconscious from the poison, he would implant a slave seal on them and collect them into the Space World.

Some hidden strongmen, as long as they were within the first clone's Divine Sense detection range, he would proactively approach them to capture or kill them.

After Ye Liuyun and the clone absorbed the poison source of that green zombie, the toxicity greatly increased. After poisoning, the onset was very fast; almost the poisoned person's elixir field would instantly be contaminated and sealed by the toxin, and then the toxin would immediately spread throughout the body.

Some martial cultivators didn't even have time to take out an antidote before being felled by the poison; some didn't even have time to try to save themselves.

But soon the dynasty also discovered that some of the strongmen they had sent out had been controlled or killed. Since they had not yet moved against Ye Liuyun, they also realized that someone outside the garrison camp was attacking them.

Thus these strongmen formed several squads and patrolled the area around the camp, inspecting martial cultivators.

Three top strongmen of the Ninth Layer Summit surrounded the first clone's group of martial cultivators. They didn't approach closely, but from afar released pressure, forcing them to release their souls entirely to confirm they hadn't changed their appearance.

"We are local martial cultivators resisting the invasion here. Who are you, and why do you want us to release our souls?" The first clone asked them feigning vigilance, in order to buy time for himself.

"We are martial cultivators sent by the dynasty; we need to confirm whether you are Ye Liuyun disguising your appearance, and also whether your souls have been controlled."

"The soul is the foundation of a martial cultivator; who would casually release it for others to inspect? I don't care whether you are from the dynasty. You fight your fights, we fight ours; we have nothing to do with each other, and we don't need your inspection!" The first clone argued with them.

"Cut the nonsense; if you refuse inspection, we'll just attack!" These three strongmen, having no patience, directly increased their pressure and threatened.

"Hmph, who knows

which side you are on. Looking at your actions, you don't look like dynasty people!"

The first clone also would not yield; he immediately organized the people beside him to fight those three martial cultivators. Among these people, some were also at the realm of returning to the one-seven-eight layers, and they would not be subdued by the pressure to the point of having no strength to resist.

At this moment, the first clone's Divine Sense also detected that Jiang Yunmu was approaching with his guard detail.

"This is bad; a head-on confrontation definitely won't work. When Jiang Yunmu arrives, we'll release poison together and deal with as many as we can." He secretly thought, arranging the poison without showing any emotion.

"Try using the Da Yan Soul Technique to see if you can change the appearance of your soul." Ye Liuyun gave the first clone a hint.

Upon hearing that, the first clone was delighted and immediately tried. Indeed, the Da Yan Soul Technique could change appearance; he quickly altered his soul's appearance to match his outward looks.

"Haha, why didn't we think of this trick earlier!" The first clone laughed and sent a mental transmission to Ye Liuyun.

"It looks like you're spies, then?" The three strongmen opposite also prepared to attack.

"Hold your attack!" Jiang Yunmu also arrived at this moment. His guards also surrounded Ye Liuyun's group.

He wanted to obtain information about Ye Liuyun, fearing that those three strongmen would kill all these people. If these people were indeed spies, he would all the more want to capture them alive.

He directly said to Ye Liuyun: "I am the Fourth Prince Jiang Yunmu of the Fire Seal Dynasty; surely that's not fake? Look again at the strongmen and Imperial Guard behind me—could they all be fake as well."

"Now we have proven our identity; if you dare not prove yours, that shows you are impostors or spies."

At this moment, the first clone also changed his attitude, waving his hand at his subordinates to have them put away their weapons.

"Fourth Prince!"

He bowed his hands toward the Fourth Prince, made an introduction, calling himself a scion of a local aristocratic family, named Li Yuan.

"We have been fighting the enemy to the death here, never receiving support, yet we have never changed our original intentions. Now that the Fourth Prince has arrived, he suspects us of being spies, which is naturally chilling. Please download the app Ai Yue app for the latest content."

"Moreover, soul power should not be lightly displayed; a little carelessness would ruin our martial arts future."

He had just said this

, the Fourth Prince and the nearby strongmen showed signs of impatience, wanting to attack.

So he immediately continued: "However, given today's situation, if we don't display it, you probably wouldn't believe us either. How about this: I'll display my soul for you to confirm, and let my companions be exempt?"

He proposed a compromise. Jiang Yunmu thought about it; if they could confirm his soul, that would actually be enough, and they really didn't need to check each one individually. Since these people all knew each other, there shouldn't be any fakes, so he also agreed.

Thus the first clone hesitated no more, releasing one of his souls.

Seeing that his soul matched his appearance, the other strongmen felt much more at ease. Then another strongman released his soul to check whether he had signed any master-servant contract with someone, and immediately put their minds at ease.

The Fourth Prince still wanted to gather information, so he immediately said: "Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared; we also believe you, so don't keep this on your mind. Instead, tell us about Ye Liuyun's situation."

Only then did the first clone retract his soul, then said that matter was settled, and went over to Jiang Yunmu to detail Ye Liuyun's situation.

His subordinates waited aside, resting in place.

Jiang Yunmu and some of his strongmen nearby, as well as the three strongmen from earlier, also came over to listen to him talk about Ye Liuyun's situation.

While the first clone spoke, he also secretly released toxin, not letting it take effect immediately, but letting it adhere to these people, waiting for them to all take effect together.

There were too many gold-armored Imperial Guard behind Jiang Yunmu; he couldn't arrange that much toxin in a short time, and feared delaying too long would let those strongmen notice, so he only brought along the Imperial Guard commander and the front-line guards, and immediately triggered the toxin.

Jiang Yunmu and those strongmen no longer doubted him; they were now earnestly listening to him describe the deployment of Ye Liuyun's army, its forces, and his activity patterns, when suddenly someone discovered they had been poisoned.

"Poison!" someone exclaimed.

Others were startled, checked themselves, and also discovered they had been poisoned.

"Damn, we've been poisoned!"

The first clone blended among them, also feigning poisoning, and pretended to search around for the person who administered the poison.
