Chapter 3622: Constant Troubles

As Ye Liuyun came into contact with these runes more and more, he realized that their uses were extremely wide‑ranging.

Besides being the most basic strokes in formations and talismans, they can also be used to launch attacks directly, and even his techniques have been refined according to these symbols, allowing him to draw more Heaven and Earth Power.

Ye Liuyun also excitedly told the Book Demon about his discovery.

The Book Demon replied with a hint of contempt: "Of course, they are ancient cryptic scripts, comprehended from the Dao's resonance, most in line with the true meaning of the Dao. You have only uncovered a tiny fragment; what's there to be happy about? Study them slowly!"..

In truth, although he said that, he was internally shocked that Ye Liuyun could discern some patterns in these ancient scripts even within the Taixu realm and integrate them into his own cultivation method.

He simply kept it to himself, lest Ye Liuyun become too arrogant, and lest he rely on these scripts for combat too early.

"Is there something deeper?" Ye Liuyun asked, and immediately intensified his research, assigning a Divine Soul to deduce the extreme variations of these runes.

At the same time, he discovered that after his Divine Core mass and Divine Soul Power increased, the potency of the talismans he drew also rose.

The formations and talismans he now draws are considerably stronger than before, and dealing with Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators is already very easy.

While Ye Liuyun was engrossed in his research, Chen Yueying came to see him, reminding him to consider upgrading his gilded armor to boost his defense.

Ye Liuyun originally paid little mind to the gilded armor; whether he used it or not made little difference, as a set of War God gear was already sufficient to face danger.

But thinking that in future battles, Lei Ming and other Monster Beasts would also use it, he immediately agreed. He took five pieces of gilded armor to have Chen Yueying help raise their grade.

The Artifact Refining Clan's smiths in the Space World had already tried it; they were not familiar enough with gilded material, and at most could refine it only to an eighth‑grade quality, while also wasting a lot of material.

However, after Chen Yueying handed these items to a smith, the smith mysteriously disappeared with the gilded armor. When the agreed delivery day arrived, Chen Yueying sent someone to retrieve the armor, only to find the place empty.

After hearing the news, Ye Liuyun speculated that someone might have acted behind the scenes to lure him out. Whether the smith was greedy or someone plotted a trap, he resolved to retrieve the gilded armor.

"How absurd! I've never suffered such a loss, and they dare to scheme against me."

Ye Liuyun immediately asked Chen Yueying to lead the way, rushing to the smith's residence.

"My father said it might be someone deliberately scheming to lure you out…" Chen Yueying protested repeatedly, fearing something would happen to him.

"Don't worry, I've recently learned a new skill, perfect for testing it out," Ye Liuyun said to Chen Yueying via Transmission Voice.

Seeing his certainty, Chen Yueying finally agreed.

As soon as they left the Royal Mansion, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense noticed someone using a Transmission Talisman to send a voice, likely a person planning to act against him and monitoring the area.

Ye Liuyun didn't worry much; as long as they weren't assassins from the Night Shadow Sect, any other powerful faction posed no concern.

He hurried along with Chen Yueying, continuously using his Divine Sense to monitor even the slightest surrounding fluctuations, yet found no sign of anyone invisibly tracking him.

"If someone were tracking, over such a distance there would be some spatial or Divine Sense disturbance. I've found nothing along the way, so there must be no assassin following!" Ye Liuyun mused internally.

When they arrived at the smith's residence, it was already surrounded by experts and soldiers dispatched from the Royal Mansion. Ye Liuyun scanned the area with his Golden Pupil, finding no signs of a fight. The smith's family was present, yet they didn't know when the person had left.

Finding no clues, and unable to summon the Chaotic Azure Lotus to reverse time for a few pieces of armor, he could only release a Mastiff, letting it follow the scent.

to look for the smith's whereabouts.

The Mastiff sniffed the scent, quickly fixed on a direction, and led everyone to chase it outside the city.

"Prepare for battle!"

Ye Liuyun reminded Chen Yueying.

No one inside the city would attack them, but once outside, they would surely strike; otherwise those people would have led them out for nothing. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly that several Elders and disciples in family uniforms were already ambushed in the dense forest outside the city.

"Ah?" Chen Yueying exclaimed, instantly drawing the treasured sword in her hand.

The Royal Mansion guards accompanying Chen Yueying also grew tense. They were all Seventh/Eighth Level Realm masters from the Royal Mansion; Liao Yaotian and Qi Tianlin were not among these guards. Those two were only Fourth Realm, so their presence was of no use.

"No need to panic, the opponent's strength isn't very high!" Ye Liuyun said, reassuring them, and headed straight toward the dense forest.

The ambushers in the dense forest, seeing them approach directly, realized they had been exposed and immediately stopped hiding, charging to kill.

Seeing the Martial Cultivators rush out, Chen Yueying felt a slight relief. She guessed that the Monster Beasts by Ye Liuyun's side could handle these people.

Ye Liuyun also thought at that moment: "Which short‑sighted faction sent just a few people to try to kill me?"

He still worried about a larger trap, so he didn't act hastily; instead he released the Monster Beasts to engage, while he kept watch on the surroundings to prevent Night Shadow assassins from striking.

Black Tortoise and Shadow stayed around Ye Liuyun, helping him watch for invisible assassins approaching.

"Capture two alive!" Ye Liuyun transmitted a voice to the Monster Beasts, lest they kill the people.

The Monster Beasts acted without hesitation, each strike harsher than the last. Soon, two half‑dead Elders were thrown before Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately pulled their Divine Souls into his Sea of Consciousness for a Soul Search.

"How is it?" Chen Yueying asked expectantly from beside him.

"It's the Sun family of the Artifact Refining Clan causing trouble. They knew I had returned, so they sent people to monitor my movements. The smith you found is a smith trained by the Sun family, so they reported the information to them, deliberately trying to lure me out."

"Let's go; they're not strong, only two Ninth Realm Elders. Let's pay them a visit."

After confirming the information, Ye Liuyun became even less concerned, leading Chen Yueying and the Monster Beasts deeper into the dense forest.

Chen Yueying, hearing this, completely relaxed; not only two Ninth Realm strongmen, but with the many Mercenaries by Ye Liuyun's side, even twenty would not worry her.
