Chapter 3635: Mighty Duel

"There aren't many puppets that can handle Qian Meng, Soul Hook, and Shattered Soul, are there?" Yaoji warned Heihu with a worried expression.

"No need to worry; as long as we can hold them off for a while, we'll have a chance to strike!" Qi Tian said, looking eager to try.

"Hmph, just because you can break Qian Meng's seal, you think it'll be that easy to deal with," Yaoji retorted, mocking Qi Tian.

Heihu frowned as well, irritated by their noise: "Stop shouting, I know what's going on!"

Qi Tian and Yaoji fell silent, quietly following Heihu to see whom he would choose.

It turned out that the first one Heihu selected was a black undead giant snake.

Heihu politely addressed the black snake: "Lord Black Snake, by the Valley Master's order, we must leave the valley to deal with Soul Hook, Shattered Soul, and Qian Meng; we can only ask for your assistance!"

Upon hearing this, the black undead snake, which had been motionless, twitched, and a moment later a massive tongue shot out before Heihu, its scarlet eyes fixed on him.

"May I kill Soul Hook?" the black snake asked coldly.

"Of course. The Valley Master only said to bring back Qian Meng and Sun Que!" Heihu replied respectfully.

"And that Refiner?" the black snake paused, then asked Heihu.

"Yes!" Heihu answered again.

"Fine!" the black snake immediately agreed.

Afterward, Heihu recruited a few more experts, gathering ten in total, then led them rushing toward the Sun family.

Seeing the ten puppets Heihu had gathered, Qi Tian and Yaoji felt even more confident.

"With this lineup, wiping out a dynasty would be easy; why even go after the Sun family?" Qi Tian began to boast again.

But Heihu was too lazy to bother with him, his brows remaining tightly knit. He knew anyone who could instantly subdue Qian Meng must have uneven strength.

So recruiting some from the Sun family would still be helpful. Even if their combat power is lacking, they can toss treasures at crucial moments to block attacks.

However, the Sun family, after learning that both dispatched groups were completely wiped out, decided not to send more people.

When they saw Heihu leading the team himself with ten puppets, they forced out over three hundred Refiners, equipped them with treasures, and sent them along to try again.

Heihu was very satisfied with their cooperation and led everyone rushing to Ye Liuyun's residence.

In fact, the Sun family and Qianling Valley's grand deployment to the Western Region kingdom made everyone in the central kingdom aware that they had met a formidable opponent in the West.

People from Qianling Valley can keep secrets, but the Sun family is talkative, and the news spread quickly.

Chengyuan Shanghui naturally received the news, and they were the first to suspect that Ye Liuyun was battling these two forces.

However, Li Chengfeng thought that even if he told Li Qianjiao, she couldn't help, so he never relayed the information to her.

When Li Qianjiao received the news, Heihu was about to head over again. She hesitated, didn't dare to help Ye Liuyun directly, and instead conveyed Heihu's forces to Ye Liuyun using Transmission Talismans.

After receiving the information, Ye Liuyun immediately summoned Qian Meng and others to inquire about the situation.

"It seems they're determined to succeed!" Qian Meng gasped coldly upon learning the newcomers' information.

"Quickly brief me on these people's traits, no nonsense!" Ye Liuyun immediately activated the Slave Seal, ordering Qian Meng and the others to explain at once, fearing they'd act without warning.

After hearing Qian Meng finish, Ye Liuyun decisively chose to use the Chaotic Azure Lotus.

"We can't possibly win!" he sighed inwardly.

Heihu, Qi Tian, and Yaoji, three Human Martial Cultivators, are not only powerful, but each member of their guard

can wield several runes, and when activated, even puppets of the Shattered Soul and Demon King tier are no match.

Moreover, the ten puppets they brought are mostly old rivals or experts who can counter their abilities, so a head‑on clash would guarantee defeat.

"How's your research on those secret scripts?" Ye Liuyun suddenly asked Qiong Qi.

"Huh? Don't count on me; I haven't even memorized the basic strokes yet. How much time have you given me?" Qiong Qi shouted immediately.

"You don't need to stay outside guarding; let them guard. Go back and accelerate learning those secret scripts!"

Ye Liuyun promptly pulled Qiong Qi into the Space World to speed up his study.

"Master, should we avoid them first?" Qian Meng cautiously reminded Ye Liuyun.

She still doesn't understand Ye Liuyun's temperament and dares not speak freely. Yet staying silent makes her worry she'll be captured and taken back to Qianling Valley.

In fact, she was controlled by Gu Changhong against her will. Spending all day cultivating in Qianling Valley made her feel bored and unwilling to return.

"No need, I have my own way to deal with them. If it fails, we can retreat in time!" Ye Liuyun said calmly, reassuring them and ordering them to prepare to strike against some ordinary Martial Cultivators.

"Leave the Qianling Valley guards and puppets to me!" Ye Liuyun took charge of those people.

He then had Qian Meng and the others monitor the outside, while he returned to the Space World to quickly replenish the Chaotic Azure Lotus's energy. He even temporarily fed the surplus energy from the Golden Egg to the Lotus, postponing his own Soul cultivation.

He himself also desperately familiarized himself with more secret scripts, striving to master as many as possible. For Ye Liuyun, the biggest difficulty is the speed of drawing these runes.

He knows over a hundred runes, but his formation-drawing skill is poor, so he can only produce a few, and when rushed he often errs, making the runes intermittently effective.

These secret scripts have extremely strict requirements; a slight mistake renders them completely useless.

Ye Liuyun practiced carving runes in the Space World; the more urgent he became, the fewer he could produce.

"Alas!" he finally threw his head back and sighed, temporarily halting his practice.

"Did you think Heaven Dao Runes were that easy to draw?" the Book Demon said, reminding Ye Liuyun: "Your understanding of Heaven Dao is still far off; even drawing a few like a cat copying a tiger is already impressive!"

"Then how to face the Valley Master of Qianling Valley?" Ye Liuyun worried the opponent might strike first, using rune formations against him.

"There's no choice; draw more talismans first to prepare! They can't deny you even the chance to use Time Power, can they?" the Book Demon tried to comfort Ye Liuyun.

"Fine!"

Ye Liuyun thought it was indeed unavoidable, so he calmed down, took out some Spirit Stones, and began carving runes. The recent code conversion is serious, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
