Chapter 3628: Unresolved Dispute

Ye Liuyun suggested to Qiong Qi his idea: "First set up an Illusion Array to envelop this whole Mi Lin, then arrange some anti‑vacuum Formations."

Add a few layers of attack‑reducing Defense Arrays and that'll be about it. The attacks are mainly handled by the Kuailei. You can also add some minor Chen techniques for support, and it'll be sufficient.

After they discussed, Qiong Qi first set up a large Illusion Array, then Ye Liuyun inscribed, out of thin air, several enhancement runes with secret script and embedded them into the Formation, covering the entire Mi Lin, boosting the Illusion Array's power and concealment.

Ye Liuyun also taught Qiong Qi the array symbols of this Illusion Array, letting Qiong Qi learn while helping set it up. At the same time he was learning the remote array‑drawing technique from Qiong Qi.

After finishing the outer big Formation, the two set up three layers of Defense Arrays outside the residence. The outermost Defense Array, Qiong Qi configured with a reflection function, and Ye Liuyun inscribed, with secret script, runes that can offset half the damage. The two cooperated, learning from each other, and both progressed quickly.

The two inner layers of Formations were then set up as Defense Arrays by Ye Liuyun using runes. As for the other Formations, Ye Liuyun left them entirely to Qiong Qi.

The Demon King Kuailei was placed by Ye Liuyun to guard the courtyard center, within the outermost Defense Array of the residence, accompanied by ten Metal Puppets. Along the edge of the outer Illusion Array, Ye Liuyun dispatched fifty Seventh Realm Mercenaries as guards.

After Ye Liuyun finished arranging these, the Mercenaries also built their quarters, and he went straight back to cultivate.

As soon as he returned to Space World, Sun Que ran over to find him again.

"Master, I have a suggestion that could help you forge a better protective armor…" Sun Que said excitedly to Ye Liuyun.

"Oh? What suggestion?" Ye Liuyun looked at him curiously upon hearing, but after a glance he immediately turned his head away.

"That guy is really ugly!" he thought to himself.

Sun Que was unembarrassed and said directly: "Your War‑God Armor is already beyond ordinary gear; having this set is enough, no need to wear two armors. I can melt gilding into it so it can change form, serving as a coat or as battle armor, which is very convenient."

Ye Liuyun sensed through their Master‑Servant Contract and felt no harmful intent from Sun Que, so he immediately agreed and handed over the War‑God Armor to him.

Upon hearing it could be upgraded, the War‑God Armor eagerly cooperated. Sun Que cheerfully cradled the armor and ran back to continue forging.

Ye Liuyun glanced at his own alchemy workshop and found only two Sun‑family alchemists and some Kuailei busy inside; these two clearly knew Sun Que's strength and were using the chance to learn.

He immediately went to Tong Xin's residence, also checking on Tong Xin's recent situation.

Tong Xin had only recently broken through to the Taixu realm; upon seeing Ye Liuyun, he asked, "Where did you find such an ugly alchemist?"

Ye Liuyun laughed, "He's a bit ugly, but truly skilled. He's also obsessed with alchemy and even bears the title 'Alchemy Genius.'"

Then Ye Liuyun described to Tong Xin the Kuailei that Sun Que had forged, sparking Tong Xin's admiration.

"I never expected someone like that could forge such a Kuailei!" Tong Xin exclaimed.

"Can I study with him?" he immediately stopped minding Sun Que's ugliness. Moreover, he realized Ye Liuyun wouldn't chat with him for no reason; introducing Sun Que's prowess was meant to give him a chance to learn.

"Of course, come, I'll take you there!" Ye Liuyun promptly led Tong Xin over and introduced them.

"Tong Xin oversees all alchemy materials; if you need anything later, you can ask him directly," Ye Liuyun told Sun Que.

When Sun Que heard that Tong Xin managed the materials, his initially reluctant expression instantly turned into a smile, nodding repeatedly to agree that Tong Xin could stay with him.

Ye Liuyun, to teach him wholeheartedly, also proposed signing another agreement with him.

"If you can truly...

teach, I will hand you the ancient secret script!"

"Really?" Sun Que's voice trembled with excitement.

"Of course!" Ye Liuyun thought that even teaching him would help his own alchemy, ultimately benefiting himself, so there was nothing wrong.

"Alright, I agree!" Sun Que immediately consented. Thus the two signed the agreement again.

Ye Liuyun also passed the ancient secret script to Tong Xin, letting him get an early look and start studying. Then he left Tong Xin to learn with Sun Que and returned to cultivate.

But unexpectedly, shortly after he left, he heard Boom— a sudden blast; Sun Que's residence was blown apart.

The explosion's commotion drew many people in Space World to investigate. Ye Liuyun hurried over, fearing his War‑God Armor had been ruined.

In fact, his War‑God Armor floated unharmed in the air, but a few phantom chains wrapped around it, trapping it inside.

The armor, seeing Ye Liuyun arrive, immediately complained to him: "Master, that guy wants to melt me down!"

Ye Liuyun promptly examined the Master‑Servant Contract between him and Sun Que, but found no irregularities.

At this moment, Sun Que shouted to Ye Liuyun: "Master, the Divine Sense within this armor has its own consciousness; it must be refined, or it may devour its master in the future.

Moreover, this armor secretly hides its grade; it is actually at the third‑rank of the Cave‑Heaven tier. I suspect it has ulterior motives."

"You're spouting nonsense! I've accompanied the master in countless battles, protecting his life many times—how could I harm him? You ugly freak, stop slandering!" the armor retorted immediately.

Many uninformed onlookers, upon seeing Sun Que's appearance, partly believed the armor's words. Some even laughed out loud, thinking even an armor could find Sun Que ugly.

"Master, quickly release me; I don't want it refined! If I stay with you, I can gradually raise my rank!" the armor said again to Ye Liuyun.

"Master, you can't release it! Its power is already great; if it keeps growing, you won't be able to control it!" Sun Que firmly warned Ye Liuyun.

"Liuyun, who is this person?" At this moment, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and other women approached, asking Ye Liuyun about the situation.

"He's an alchemist I just captured!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"Hey, ugly freak, do you know how important this armor is to the little brother? How could you try to melt it down?"

Lei Ming, being straightforward, believed the armor's words and couldn't help but shout it out.

"Hmph, release me at once!" the armor threatened Sun Que.

Sun Que then stubbornly said, "Master, this armor cannot stay; I'm confident I can forge a higher‑rank armor that will certainly not disappoint you!"
