Chapter 3619: Night Shadow Assassin

Although drawing talismans doesn't consume much, he must stay in the most sensitive state to deal with the assassin. When the assassin strikes, it is usually in an instant, and he dares not relax at all.

For the next period, Ye Liuyun treated the waiting for the assassin as a chance to hone his senses, immediately closing his eyes and feeling all movements around him.

Not even an hour had passed when Ye Liuyun suddenly sensed a faint spatial fluctuation. The Black Tortoise guarding outside also sensed it and hurried over to investigate.

But Ye Liuyun became alert immediately. Sure enough, as soon as the Black Tortoise moved away, an assassin suddenly entered Ye Liuyun's Cultivation Room using Spatial Power.

It turned out the assassin had discovered the Black Tortoise outside and deliberately had a companion lure the Black Tortoise away. He wanted to strike Ye Liuyun and, without the Black Tortoise's pursuit, be able to escape more easily.

However, the unlucky assassin, upon entering Ye Liuyun's Cultivation Room, was immediately restrained by a Formation hidden in the void.

Ye Liuyun opened his eyes and surveyed the assassin suspended in midair.

The assassin wore a look of utter shock. After realizing he was trapped in the Formation, he could not move at all; he couldn't even will himself to die, let alone attempt a Spiritual Soul Attack—his Soul wouldn't move.

"This cipher is incredible! It can even immobilize his Soul!" Ye Liuyun said after watching for a while, seeing the assassin's Soul fixed, and couldn't help praising it.

"Of course! Not to mention an eighth‑rank assassin; even a ninth‑rank assassin would be unable to move! This Formation draws upon Heaven and Earth Power—can he even contend with Heaven and Earth Power?" the Book Demon said proudly.

After confirming the assassin truly could not move, Ye Liuyun released his Soul to surge into the assassin's Sea of Consciousness, performing a Soul Search on him.

It turned out the assassin's Sea of Consciousness was sealed; when Ye Liuyun conducted the Soul Search, the assassin's Soul was instantly annihilated.

"Still useless!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed; after destroying the assassin, he examined its corpse and then stored it in the Space World.

He also saw the tattoo on the assassin's body, but he still didn't know which organization had sent this assassin.

At that moment, the Black Tortoise also acted outside, drawing the Royal Mansion guards' attention.

The Black Tortoise outside also discovered a hidden assassin, but a single strike failed to kill him. Seeing he couldn't escape, the assassin took poison and killed himself.

While the chaos unfolded outside, the Formation Ye Liuyun had set up suddenly flashed a Golden Light, and another Great Void Ninth Level assassin became trapped within the Formation.

It wasn't until then that Ye Liuyun sensed the assassin's murderous intent.

"This assassin is formidable! He got into my Cultivation Room, and I didn't even sense him. If he intended to strike me, the dagger should have pierced me by now!"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit alarmed. Even if his reflexes let him dodge the assassin's blow, the dagger would still slash him.

He walked over and first took the dagger from the assassin's hand. This dagger was far higher quality than the previous assassins' daggers, a jet‑black bone blade that neither reflected light nor emitted any aura.

Ye Liuyun kept the dagger and tossed it to the Song Girl and Xiao Lan'er inside the Space World, giving them as weapons.

Panic flashed in the assassin's eyes; he hadn't expected Ye Liuyun's Formation to be so powerful—perhaps there was an extremely skilled Formation Master by his side.

But now his Soul couldn't even move, making it impossible to send any news back. Watching Ye Liuyun snatch his dagger, examine the markings on his body, and then rip his Soul out, sealing it into the Soul‑Refining Cauldron for refinement.

"Even though no useful information can be found, it can't be wasted!" Ye Liuyun muttered.

At this time, Chen Yueying ran to the outside of Ye Liuyun's Cultivation Room and asked him, "Liuyun, are you okay? There was an assassin just now—was he coming after you?"

"I'm fine; I also took down two assassins here."

【9】 Ye Liuyun said, and also opened the interior of the Cultivation Room, and the two

Ye Liuyun said, and also opened the interior of the Cultivation Room, and...

the assassins' corpses were tossed out, handed to the Royal Mansion guards for inspection.

"How outrageous, these assassins are too audacious! They even dared to enter our Royal Mansion. Did you find out which organization the assassins belong to?" Chen Yueying, knowing Ye Liuyun could perform Soul Search, asked him directly so her father could send people to deal with them.

But Ye Liuyun directly sent a Transmission Voice to Chen Yueying: "Can't find it; their Sea of Consciousness all have seals. These assassins seem to have very complicated backgrounds.

They all have the same tattoo on their arms; you can ask your father if he knows which organization they belong to!"

Upon receiving Ye Liuyun's Transmission Voice, Chen Yueying immediately understood that assassins might still be hidden in the shadows, and without further comment, sent the guards with the corpses to report to Chen Haisheng.

Ye Liuyun stayed inside the Cultivation Room to avoid being stabbed by an assassin. The Black Tortoise and the Shadow did not appear, continuously monitoring whether any assassins remained outside.

He activated his Golden Pupil and scanned the area, but found no hidden assassin Souls.

"It seems these assassins won't act for now; at least there should be no assassins inside the mansion! Of course, if they are especially familiar with the Royal Mansion's layout, they could instantly use Spatial Power to reach my Cultivation Room!"

Ye Liuyun also speculated how the assassins got in. He couldn't be on guard against them all day; he needed to find a way to detect their traces.

After thinking for a while, he resumed searching the cipher for any related Formation.

After searching for a while, he finally found a relatively complex Formation. This Formation consists of six strokes of varying lengths, yet can make nearby invisible people appear.

So Ye Liuyun said nothing and began carving it as instructed.

This time, he etched it onto beast hide. If he were to float outside to draw the Formation, the outside assassins would see it, so it's better not to expose it.

After drawing several talismans, he handed them to Lei Ming, the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, and Bai Hu.

"These talismans can make invisible people appear. You take them around my residence, input a sliver of Divine Core to activate them. If anyone suddenly appears nearby, kill them with a Technique, leaving no survivors."

Ye Liuyun instructed them, and even had Lei Ming demonstrate the talismans' effect inside the Space World. As a result, even though Lei Ming wore invisibility armor, the talismans revealed his form.

However, she herself didn't notice, and the revealed form lasted only a brief moment—just two or three breaths—before the talisman expired.

The talismans' range wasn't huge, but a single talisman could thoroughly search one direction.

"This thing is powerful!" Lei Ming exclaimed, even thinking Ye Liuyun had bought it from the merchants' guild. Recently the encoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
