Chapter 3454: Trapped Martial Cultivator

Hmm, I saw it, you keep it! I've been following you and taking resources for free, it's already enough! Chen Yueying glanced but still wasn't moved.

This time she didn't help at all. Without Ye Liuyun's rescue, she might never get out. So she firmly refused to participate in the distribution.

Ye Liuyun also had no choice; as long as he temporarily piled the resources there, he could continue searching.

In the lodging rooms behind, there were still some treasures, but Ye Liuyun, out of respect, didn't touch them. Moreover, he felt he had already taken plenty; without a large amount of resources, he didn't plan to take more.

After walking around, he also didn't find any trace of Primordial Power, so he directly left the Grand Hall. Before leaving, he also closed the hall's doors.

However, the Grand Hall's location wasn't the deepest part of the Secret Realm. Ye Liuyun still needed to go further in to try.

Thus, after leaving the Grand Hall, he still used the same method, waiting for a suitable spatial passage, passing through the stone puppet's formation, and then continued rushing deeper into the Secret Realm.

On the way, when he encountered a suitable spatial passage, he immediately used it, directly crossing over, saving considerable time and avoiding many dangers.

He also asked Chen Yueying if she wanted to come out exploring. As a result, Chen Yueying, claiming she couldn't resist the illusion, simply didn't go out; instead, she took the chance to learn more about Ye Liuyun from Lei Ming.

Ye Liuyun, without bringing Chen Yueying, moved faster on his own.

Soon he discovered a large mountain ahead; the space around it had returned to normal. On the mountain stood a stone gate, which was now wide open, as if someone had already entered.

When Ye Liuyun reached the mountain base and the stone gate, the Ten Thousand Gods Command flashed again, suggesting that an illusion was blocking Martial Cultivators.

At the mountain base and beside the stone gate lay many Martial Cultivator corpses, dressed in different attire; many of their Storage Rings and weapons were still there.

Ye Liuyun was completely unaffected by the illusion, so he naturally wouldn't let those resources go, collecting the Storage Rings and valuable weapons from the corpses.

The resources inside the Storage Rings were still there, and Ye Liuyun thus found even more resources.

Inside the stone gate were three passages; Ye Liuyun extended his Divine Sense to probe and found that in each passage corpses occasionally lay on the ground. All three passages wound downward, and their ends couldn't be seen for a while.

Ye Liuyun casually chose the rightmost passage and entered. Along the way, whenever he encountered a corpse, he would take its valuables, scavenging all the way.

Along the way his Ten Thousand Gods Command flickered a few times, yet he encountered no substantive danger. Each time the Command flashed, nearby corpses would appear; it was likely someone had fallen under an illusion and taken companions as enemies.

Ye Liuyun gathered resources along the way and easily exited the passage. At its end, there were actually over thirty Martial Cultivators, each keeping a certain distance from the others, holding weapons and treasures, standing ready.

As soon as he entered, everyone turned their gaze to him. But after seeing his cultivation level, many looked away toward the three stone chambers ahead.

The doors of the stone chambers were tightly shut, and outside each stone door stood a stone puppet guarding.

"Another one!" a bearded Martial Cultivator said with a slightly mocking tone.

Ye Liuyun glanced at their cultivation levels and found they ranged from Taixu Fourth to Sixth Layer, all considerably higher than his; moreover, one Martial Cultivator wore the attire of an inner disciple of the Qianling Sect, likely also on a mission and trapped here.

Ye Liuyun immediately clasped his fists toward the bearded Martial Cultivator who had mocked him and asked, "Brother, what's the situation here? Why is everyone waiting here?"

"Waiting here? Haha, you sure know how to put it nicely!" The bearded Martial Cultivator was quite talkative, laughing as he chatted with Ye Liuyun: "You're not the same as us, trapped in here? I suppose only by entering that stone gate can we find a way out."

"Can't you retreat?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Retreat"

"Going out? When you came in, didn't you encounter danger? Still want to retreat? Are you a match for those guards?" The bearded Martial Cultivator instead became curious.

Ye Liuyun then realized, estimating that these people had been hit by too many illusions, feeling the outside passage was full of danger, so they dared not break out.

"Could it be that the guards outside have withdrawn? Kid, when you came in, didn't you encounter any guards?" Another older Martial Cultivator also noticed something odd and immediately asked Ye Liuyun.

"I didn't encounter any in this passage!" Ye Liuyun also had to say.

The older Martial Cultivator looked doubtfully at Ye Liuyun, then proceeded into that passage.

The others also looked over expectantly; only Ye Liuyun didn't pay attention to the passage's situation, instead sizing up the few stone puppets. Those stone puppets seemed to have no cultivation level, yet beside them lay several corpses.

He used his Golden Pupil to look; the corpses were all at Taixu Sixth Layer. He estimated the puppet's combat strength should be strong—at least a Taixu Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator couldn't match it.

Not long after, a True Essence fluctuation came from that passage; the older Martial Cultivator quickly ran back, pointing at Ye Liuyun and cursing, "You bastard, I have no grudge against you—why are you harming me?"

In his view, it was as if he hadn't gone far before seeing the guards again. Fortunately he ran fast and fled back, otherwise he would have been killed by Ye Liuyun.

"Uh…" Ye Liuyun also couldn't explain; they had fallen under an illusion, so what they saw naturally differed from what he saw.

"Hahaha! Who made you so stupid? You believe what he says!" At that moment, the Martial Cultivator who had spoken with Ye Liuyun earlier burst out laughing again, still thinking Ye Liuyun was truly deceiving the older cultivator.

The others also wore expressions of "I told you so," all thinking the older Martial Cultivator had previously had a bad attitude and Ye Liuyun had deliberately set him up.

"I said it's an illusion—will you believe me?" Ye Liuyun also could only explain it this way.

"Hahaha! You little brat, you're really interesting—you trick people without blinking!" The bearded Martial Cultivator, hearing this, laughed again.

The others also smiled silently, watching the spectacle there.

"Screw your illusion, am I an idiot? See if this move of mine is an illusion!"

That older elder also thought Ye Liuyun was teasing him, and immediately threw a punch at Ye Liuyun.

"Ah, I knew you wouldn't believe the truth!"

Ye Liuyun helplessly shook his head, drew out that Void Rank Sixth-Grade short sword again, and blocked the cultivator's attack.

That elder was merely a Taixu Fifth Layer Martial Cultivator; seeing Ye Liuyun's Sixth-Grade short sword, he immediately halted his attack, also fearing Ye Liuyun would fight him to the death.

"Wait for me!" the elder said resentfully, giving himself a way out.
