Chapter 3340: Only Seeking Rescue

The group was trapped inside the Formation by Kuailei, and after fighting for a while, the Kuailei also retreated, prompting Luo Yu's Puppet Beast to chase after them.

Then these Kuailei suddenly surged forward as a group, using their bodies to hard‑block the Puppet Beast's attacks, and then all pounced onto that Puppet Beast, clearly trying to capture it alive.

"Not good, they're trying to capture that Puppet Beast alive!" Qiong Qi immediately warned the group.

If this Puppet Beast is taken by them, its Divine Sense erased and then turned against them, their Formation would no longer hold.

"I'll go, I have a Defense Artifact in my Sea of Consciousness," Long Nv volunteered. Her Sea of Consciousness contained not only a golden spear but also a shield for defensive attacks. After speaking, she rushed forward to rescue the Puppet Beast.

"I'll go too!" Lei Ming immediately followed. Her Sea of Consciousness also held a pitch‑black bone tile that can defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks.

The others had no certainty of defending against Spiritual Soul Attacks. Zhu Que wasn't afraid of Spiritual Soul Attacks, but his physical attacks couldn't overcome the Kuailei.

Thus the others unleashed various attacks to cover Long Nv and Lei Ming as they went to rescue Luo Yu's Metal Puppet.

In an instant, attacks of Black and White Light, Blade Intent, Sword Intent, Bai Hu's Golden Light spear, the Wind‑Thunder Fan's lightning, Zhu Que's flames, and others were all launched together, blasting away the Kuailei that were besieging Long Nv and Lei Ming.

The others also employed Buddha Light Power, trying to block those Yin Souls so they wouldn't interfere with Lei Ming and Long Nv.

Lei Ming and Long Nv were indifferent to Spiritual Soul Attacks. Lei Ming's bone tile instantly devoured the Yin Souls that rushed in. Long Nv used her defensive shield to block Yin Soul attacks, then stabbed the Yin Souls that entered her Sea of Consciousness with her golden spear.

The two of them quickly rushed into the Puppet Beast. The Puppet Beast had already been firmly pressed to the ground by a horde of Skeleton Puppets, unable to move at all.

Lei Ming and Long Nv raised their hands and blasted at that cluster of Kuailei, shattering the top few Skeleton Puppets. Lei Ming also wielded the Golden Pupil to release Technique, annihilating several more Skeleton Puppets; only then did the Puppet Beast stand up again and fling off the Kuailei clinging to it.

Then the three of them coordinated again, slowly retreating back into the Formation.

The surrounding Skeleton Puppets, unwilling, pursued in a wave until they retreated into the Formation, at which point those Kuailei finally stopped.

Afterwards, dozens of Stone Puppets took over, hammering the Formation. The other Kuailei and Yin Souls still remained outside the Formation.

Lei Ming and Long Nv were both panting from exhaustion. To conserve True Essence, they used their Physical Bodies to resist the gravity here, which greatly taxed their stamina.

Xiao Yunfang, seeing how hard they were fighting, worried they might be trapped here to death and delay the main army, immediately suggested: "We should notify Ye Liuyun?"

"We left the main army five or six days earlier, originally to scout. Given the current situation, getting out on our own is harder; if we delay further, we'll fall behind the main army, which could affect its progress."

Lei Ming was the least willing to notify Ye Liuyun, fearing Ye Liuyun would blame her after appearing. But with so many Kuailei and Yin Souls around, she truly had no choice. With only herself and Long Nv fighting, they couldn't match so many foes. So she could only agree.

The others were also somewhat disappointed in themselves. They had hoped to risk an adventure on their own strength, but ended up trapped and ultimately had to rely on Ye Liuyun for rescue.

Although everyone agreed to seek help from Ye Liuyun, their spirits were very downcast.

After being summoned, Ye Liuyun immediately released his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings.

"What's wrong, everyone looks downcast?" He was the first to see the expressions of those around him; after checking the numbers and finding no one missing, he wasn't worried.

As for the Yin Souls and Kuailei outside the Formation, he didn't pay any attention to them.

Xiao Yunfang immediately reported the situation here to Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense already enveloped the entire Xingqiu, revealing many of the circumstances here.

"Hmm, this place is indeed quite dangerous; these Yin Souls and Kuailei are all controlled by someone. As for the cause of the gravity, I haven't discovered it yet. It's okay.

I've found the person controlling them; going there and taking a look will tell us."

Lei Ming, seeing his nonchalant tone and that he didn't blame her, dared to step forward and complain to Ye Liuyun, saying the Yin Souls were too annoying, the Kuailei were harder to fight, the gravity was stronger, etc., probing Ye Liuyun's attitude without a real issue, which made everyone on the side chuckle.

When Ye Liuyun saw her expression and behavior, he guessed it was her again who had urged the group to explore.

"You! It's you leading the adventure again, right?"

"Little brother, I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous!" Lei Ming quickly explained. Yet when she saw Ye Liuyun had guessed she was the mastermind, she didn't resent him; her heart completely eased, and she came over to swing around Ye Liuyun's arm.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but take her. Actually, he wanted the women around him to venture more, but he always worried they'd get into trouble, especially Lei Ming, who lacked experience.

"Give them a chance to go out and try it themselves!"

He thought that way in his heart, but didn't dare to voice it, fearing Lei Ming would misunderstand, thinking he wanted to drive her away.

He simply said, "Alright, I don't blame you; the danger here truly exceeds what you can handle. Let me take care of it!"

Only then did Lei Ming laugh and run off, releasing Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun said no more, and immediately summoned Nether Hell. The Underworld's gate materialized out of thin air.

The surrounding Yin Souls, at this moment, all bowed to him, causing the Tang family members who previously didn't understand Ye Liuyun to be very surprised. Moreover, the death aura that accompanied the Hell gate's appearance terrified them further, making the hair on their bodies stand on end.

Only those who had previously seen Ye Liuyun summon Nether Hell showed no surprise.

When the Underworld gate opened, Zhuge Feiyu appeared at the doorway, shaking his Soul Barrier and gathering those Yin Souls inside.

The surrounding Skeleton Puppets and Stone Puppets at first stared dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening. When the Yin Souls were massively drawn into the Hundred‑Refined Soul Barrier, the controllers behind them perhaps finally reacted, ordering them to attack the Underworld gate.

Ye Liuyun directly formed a spirit‑energy thunder dragon beast, and with one palm smash, shattered several Kuailei that had just acted.

The Underworld gate appeared in the air, completely unaffected by the local gravity. The spirit‑energy giant beast was the same; being made of spirit energy, it too was not affected by gravity.

Thus it guarded the Underworld gate in the air; the ground‑based Kuailei could not reach it at all.

Meanwhile, a massive influx of Yin Souls from this Xingqiu surged toward here, seeking entry into the Underworld. This planet had accumulated a great number of Yin Souls, and it wasn't only Lei Ming and the others who noticed this.

The Underworld gate remained fully open for an entire day before it completely absorbed the Yin Souls on this Xingqiu. Only then did Ye Liuyun send them back to the Underworld.
