Chapter 3637: Valley Master Strikes

But Ye Liuyun thought that, with Hei Hu and Yao Ji as practice targets, his improvement speed would also increase.

Outside Ye Liuyun's Space World, the Demon King was guarding for him, and Qian Meng became the leader of the other Kuailei, leading them to carry out defense and patrol missions.

The Sealing Demon Tablet quickly absorbed the black snake's Yin Soul completely, returning it first to Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

With the Illusion Array's assistance, Xuanwu and An Ying also wreaked havoc using treasures, capturing or killing the Sun family's refined-artifact masters one by one.

They only left some high-level refined-artifact Elders; the rest were slain outright, since keeping that many refined-artifact masters was of little use.

The captured Divine Soul Power was all absorbed into the Soul Sealing Pearl, to be slowly refined later.

A few hours later, the Illusion Array quieted again. After completing their mission, Xuanwu and An Ying returned to Ye Liuyun's Space World, handed over the refined-artifact masters and corpses, and then went back to cultivate Divine Soul Power.

Ye Liuyun also lent the Refinement Soul Cauldron to the two of them, urging them to use the time to boost Divine Soul Power.

"How absurd!" Gu Changhong, Valley Master of Qianling Valley, roared, "A Martial Cultivator of Fifth Realm has wiped out so many of my Qianling Valley's strong ones!"

After the roar, he abruptly stood, halted his cultivation, leapt to the depths of Qianling Valley, and summoned over fifty powerful Souls and Yin Souls.

These were all strong ones from Qianling Valley, though none yet possessed Physical Bodies. Yet Gu Changhong gathered them into the Space World, took them out of Qianling Valley, and went to strike Ye Liuyun.

Qian Meng and the Kuailei were now fully focused on probing the surrounding environment. She knew that after Hei Hu's failure, Gu Changhong would soon act.

Hei Hu and his companions all knew rune Formations and were Cave Heaven Realm strongmen; being wiped out so quickly would certainly make Gu Changhong restless, and he would suspect that the people here also wield runes.

She knows Gu Changhong too well, aware that this guy will go all out for runes. He won't miss any information related to runes.

When Qian Meng spotted Gu Changhong's appearance, she immediately dispatched the nearby Kuailei, and also had the Demon King promptly inform Ye Liuyun.

Fortunately, Qian Meng reacted quickly. Facing those Kuailei, Gu Changhong wiped out most of them with a single strike.

From the moment Gu Changhong stepped outside the Formation, he sensed that the Formation's runes amplified Illusion Power.

When he entered the Formation, he saw that among Ye Liuyun's three-layer Formation, two layers were arranged with runes, which made him even more excited.

Thus he didn't care at all about the Kuailei's fate; he only thought of seizing Ye Liuyun quickly before Ye Liuyun could strike first.

Gu Changhong's armor was covered with various runes that ward off Formation attacks, so not only the Illusion Array here was ineffective against him, but even the Kuailei's attacks were nullified.

His attacks, however, could multiply in power. He could already unleash Cave Heaven Third Stage attacks, but with the rune enhancement he produced attacks of Cave Heaven Sixth to Seventh Stage, so with a single clash, the Kuailei's soul‑hook and soul‑crush were shattered, destroying half of their Physical Bodies.

Among the nine newly captured Kuailei, three were Boom—ed apart, three were smashed to ruin, and three a bit stronger were blasted away, their exterior barely scratched.

Gu Changhong's attack speed was also extremely fast. When Ye Liuyun emerged, the talismans he had buried around the Formation erupted, launching a wave of attack.

Yet Gu Changhong was completely unharmed, about to strike the outermost layer of Ye Liuyun's Formation.

Ye Liuyun had no time to think further; he immediately activated the Chaotic Azure Lotus, invoking Time Power.

Facing the Chaotic Azure Lotus, even Gu Changhong's strength was no match; Ye Liuyun instantly began breaking the defensive Formation in his Sea of Consciousness, and after expending some effort, finally pierced his layered defenses and successfully placed a Slave Seal on him.

Then he launched a Soul Search on Gu Changhong..

"Ha ha, this guy actually brought me so many Divine Souls and Yin Souls! Now I can form a whole Kuailei army!" Ye Liuyun laughed so hard his mouth nearly couldn't close.

He also searched through some of the runes and formation techniques Gu Changhong mastered, making his own rune application more proficient.

Afterwards, he pulled Gu Changhong into the Space World, taking him as a practice target.

"From now on I have three targets to practice my rune combat with. Take good care of these three!"

Ye Liuyun also shared Gu Changhong's experience with Hei Hu and Yao Ji, making the two utterly grateful to Ye Liuyun.

If it were Gu Changhong, no matter how great their merits, they couldn't receive all the secret script rewards and such experience. With this ready-made experience, their rune power would improve much faster.

Meanwhile, Gu Changhong was still puzzling over how Ye Liuyun controlled him.

"Master, is there a higher‑grade secret script that can instantly control others?" After recognizing his master, Gu Changhong humbly asked Ye Liuyun.

"You don't fully know the secret scripts. But when I deal with you, I don't use secret scripts!"

Ye Liuyun didn't tell him that he used Time Power and a Slave Seal, but he did transmit the complete secret scripts to Gu Changhong, Hei Hu, and Yao Ji, letting them continue to study them to better serve as his practice targets.

He thought that having the three train together might spark more ideas, which is better than training alone. He also summoned Qiong Qi to join them in practice.

After dealing with Gu Changhong, Ye Liuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling he had eliminated a major trouble.

But at this moment Qian Meng asked Ye Liuyun how to handle the injured Kuailei.

Ye Liuyun looked at the battered Kuailei and, though not a refined-artifact master, knew some Kuailei didn't need repair.

So he gave the Demon King the Da Yan Soul Technique, letting him devour the fragmented Divine Soul Power to strengthen his own Soul. Other damaged Physical Bodies' demonic souls were also handed to the Demon King to consume.

As for the soul‑hook, because of its Yin Soul's peculiarity, Ye Liuyun let it remain temporarily in the wrecked body, awaiting Sun Que to later reshape its Physical Body. He also promised that the Yin Souls Gu Changhong brought would be given to it to devour, making it stronger.

The remaining Divine Souls whose Physical Bodies were damaged were all rewarded to Qian Meng, and he taught her the Da Yan Soul Technique. Had Qian Meng not reacted quickly, Gu Changhong might have struck right beside Ye Liuyun.

The three undamaged Kuailei left were also given by Ye Liuyun to Qian Meng, becoming her subordinates.

After finishing his fight with Gu Changhong and the others inside the Space World, Ye Liuyun sent Gu Changhong, Hei Hu, and Yao Ji outside to take charge of patrol. Recently the transcoding has been severe, giving us more motivation to update faster; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
