Chapter 3419: Becoming a Beast

The Barbarian Bear saw another Barbarian Bear identical to itself and was very surprised. It had already discovered Ye Liuyun, but the cave entrance was guarded by four Golden Dragons, so it dared not approach.

Now a Barbarian Bear and a Golden Dragon both charged at it; it had nowhere to hide and could only fight, and was directly killed by the Golden Dragon, becoming Ye Liuyun's food reserve.

Then Ye Liuyun guarded the Barbarian Bear's territory, gathered the Golden Dragons, and used this method to conceal himself.

He guessed that after those strong ones arrived, they might explore the Grey Ape Gorge, and then he could follow them and scavenge.

The strong ones who rushed in were Song Qingyun, sent by Zhao Yu'an. He himself is a Taixu Liu Chong‑level strongman, accompanied by ten Taixu Wu Chong guards, and this strength is already unrivaled in this area.

Upon arrival, they exuded a pressure of aura, and the surrounding fierce beasts dared not approach.

However, they had already learned that Zhao Yuanpei was dead, so they came here also to see whether the people of Mengyun Mountain had fled.

They released their Divine Sense and searched around; regarding the Barbarian Bear that Ye Liuyun had transformed into, they naturally paid no attention.

Soon, they detected battle fluctuations inside the Grey Ape Gorge, and thus assumed the people who had entered earlier were Ye Liuyun's group, and rushed into the gorge.

After Ye Liuyun waited until they were far away and sensed the battle activity in the gorge again, he reshaped himself into a Grey Ape and walked deeper into the Grey Ape Gorge.

On the way, he found several Grey Apes that had died in battle; those strong ones were too lazy to collect the corpses, deeming the resources worthless.

Ye Liuyun was not at all disgusted and gathered them all. He also smeared a lot of blood qi onto a dead Grey Ape's body so that other Grey Apes wouldn't see through his disguise.

Then he found a Grey Ape that wasn't completely dead, hoisted it onto his shoulder, pretended to rescue it, and continued deeper into the gorge.

He didn't dare move too fast, knowing the strong ones' Divine Sense detection range was certainly farther than his. So he could only use their battle fluctuations to keep a sufficient distance. With his current Grey Ape identity, those strong ones would never stop specifically for him or attack him. wap.

He also took the opportunity to cultivate and expand his Divine Sense detection range, and set off.

After a little over half a day, the battle fluctuations ahead gradually halted at a spot and did not continue forward.

Then, after a time gap, battle fluctuations resurfaced. Ye Liuyun, unaware of the situation, stopped and waited a while; when he saw those people's positions frozen, he continued forward.

After walking another ten‑plus li, his Divine Sense finally discerned the situation: two groups had already penetrated to the bottom of the gorge and were being besieged by several powerful Yin Souls.

Hundreds of Grey Apes formed a circle on the outskirts, preventing their escape, and then watched silently.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun discovered that ahead there were three Grey Apes of Taixu Liu Chong level and fifteen or sixteen Grey Apes of Taixu Wu Chong level.

He guessed these Grey Apes had deliberately set a trap to lure them in to fight the Yin Souls inside; they hadn't fully blocked them before. Once the groups entered, the Apes sealed the retreat, forcing them to fight the Yin Souls.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and boldly decided to try, hoisting the injured Grey Ape and inching closer, while also suppressing his Underworld Lord aura so the Yin Souls wouldn't detect him.

Several Grey Apes quickly spotted Ye Liuyun, and a higher‑level Grey Ape rushed over, carrying the injured Grey Ape away for treatment.

Ye Liuyun smoothly followed it into the Grey Ape herd, staying at the rear and watching silently, not daring to speak. The Beast King was also watching the bottom of the gorge, and no Grey Ape dared to make a sound, lest one communicate with Ye Liuyun and expose him.

He also began using his Golden Pupil to assess the Martial Cultivators inside. The first team that entered had dwindled to six, and the highest‑ranked among them was a woman of Taixu Si Chong level. However, her Divine Soul seemed severely damaged; she sat on the ground with blood at the corners of her mouth, recovering from her wounds. Please download the Aiyue app for the latest content.

The woman seemed to glance at Ye Liuyun, whether intentionally or not. Ye Liuyun didn't mind, assuming she was just casually probing since he had just arrived.

The team brought by Song Qingyun had dwindled to eight; a corpse lay on the ground, likely killed by a Yin Soul. Another person was seriously injured, the wounds apparently inflicted by a Grey Ape.

Outside the Formation Plate of both groups, there were dozens of

Taixu Wu Chong and Taixu Liu Chong Yin Souls were surrounding them, and some Yin Souls of fierce beasts also intermittently attacked the Formation. Inside, the people occasionally launched sneak attacks on those Yin Souls.

Those inside the Formation Plate could not get out; once they emerged, they would be besieged by Yin Souls. The Yin Souls outside could not break through the Formation Plate for a while, so they kept guarding it. Both sides remained deadlocked.

He estimated that after a long time, the humans would suffer, especially with hundreds of Grey Apes eyeing them from outside. No matter which direction they went, it would be a dead end.

"Woo…"

At that moment, a long, low howl of a Yin Soul echoed from deep within the gorge. A Taixu Qi Chong Yin Soul flew out of the pitch‑black gloom, looked toward Ye Liuyun's direction, then bowed and made a gesturing motion of request.

This caused the people present and the Grey Apes to be momentarily stunned, all turning to look toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun was also speechless. He had already suppressed his Underworld Lord aura as much as possible, yet this powerful Yin Soul still detected him.

The crowd and the Grey Apes didn't know whom to look at; some even glanced backward, but only the woman fixed her gaze on Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? Did this woman discover me?" Ye Liuyun wondered internally.

But now he couldn't hide, so he immediately stepped forward toward the Yin Soul.

"Roar!"

The Grey Ape Beast King was also very surprised, letting out a low roar toward him, asking what was happening.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun couldn't understand its meaning, and before the Grey Apes could react, he had already stepped out of their ranks and walked toward the Yin Soul.

The Beast King behind him roared twice more, but dared not intervene.

As Ye Liuyun approached the Yin Soul, he began to shift his form, becoming a human, but he didn't dare reveal his true appearance, instead taking the form he had when he killed Zhao Yuanpei.

This left the people and Grey Apes present dumbfounded, and even some Yin Souls were bewildered.

Suddenly, the nether aura on his body burst forth. Dark qi surged and swirled, causing all Yin Souls to step back instantly.

At that moment, every Yin Soul sensed his aura.

"It's him, the one who killed the Crown Prince! Take him down!" Song Qingyun shouted at that moment, ordering his guards to act.
