Chapter 3665: High-End Resources

What those Martial Cultivators didn't expect was that, in front of Ye Liuyun's group, they were utterly helpless.

Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet went up and with one punch blasted two Martial Cultivators of the Dòngtiān Jìngjiè. The remaining Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Martial Cultivators were immobilized on the spot by Gu Changhong, Black Tiger, Enchantress and Qian Huan using runes and illusion, and handed over to Ye Liuyun to tear out their Soul.

The remaining three lower‑tier Martial Cultivators were all surrounded by Lei Ming, Long Nv, Xuan Wu, Illusion and Red Flame, without anyone else needing to act.

An entire elite squad was wiped out in an instant by Ye Liuyun's group. The Clone Puppet also grabbed a Martial Cultivator who had been knocked unconscious and tossed him to Ye Liuyun.

After performing a Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned they belonged to the Ninth Divine Son, and without hesitation he ripped their Souls into the Soul Sealing Pearl and sent them all to Sun Que.

But Sun Que now has higher standards; he kept only two Souls that, after refinement, could reach the Cave Heaven Realm, and let Ye Liuyun use the rest as his own cultivation resources.

Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun also learned that the Seventh Prince had sent men to chase here. However, the Seventh Prince does not know Ye Liuyun's exact location and is still stationed without emerging.

It is estimated that once these people die, the Ninth Divine Son will also reveal Ye Liuyun's location to the Seventh Divine Son.

"Divine Son? Heh, then I'll kill one as a test!"

Ye Liuyun was indeed looking forward to seeing what reaction the Central Dynasty would have after killing a Divine Son. After all, that Divine Son walked right to his door.

He hadn't killed Wang Wenli before, which was already a face‑saving move for the Central Dynasty, but he didn't expect another Divine Son to show up; this time he won't be polite.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun focused again, leading Pang Hongyu and Liu Xingyang enthusiastically to search for treasures.

These two also knew that their only role in Ye Liuyun's hands was to find treasure; if they failed to locate valuable items, they were doomed.

So they put all their experience to use and indeed found quite a few good things.

However, in Ye Liuyun's view, the items were fine but not high‑end enough. Moreover, most resources could be detected with his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense.

"If you can only find these ordinary things, then you two are of no use!" Ye Liuyun couldn't help saying this after they found some body‑refining herbs, trying to pressure them.

The two were startled and shivered at his words.

"Master, it's not that we can't find high‑end resources; such resources are usually guarded by powerful Demon Race beings, and we dare not go there!"

"Yes, master, any place with a heavy treasure is guarded by strong demon beings; we don't know the exact treasure, but it's definitely high‑end. Yet those demon beings are too powerful, numerous, and can summon nearby Demon Beasts..."

The two hurriedly explained.

"Guide the way; you don't have to risk fighting. What are you worried about!"

Ye Liuyun, without further discussion, used a Slave Seal to control them, forcing them to guide the way to the high‑end resources.

The two, helpless, finally had to lead Ye Liuyun toward a mountain range. Within that range, Ye Liuyun had previously seen many powerful Demon Beasts, but had not encountered any Demon Race strongmen.

"What do the demon beings you mentioned look like? Are they Demon Race? Are there demon beings in the mountains ahead? Why can't I see any?" Ye Liuyun asked the two curiously.

Liu Xingyang flatteredly explained to Ye Liuyun: "Master, we call them demon beings not because they look human; actually they resemble beast‑people more, unlike the Demon Race. The Demon Race doesn't grow hair on its body.

In this world, strong demon beings usually hide underground, making them hard to detect. We judged their presence here because the Demon Beasts are so powerful. Whether they actually exist, we'll see when we find any underground cave entrances."

Ye Liuyun nodded, neither confirming nor denying, and said they'd have to see to know. But he knew the Slave Seal was in place, so the two wouldn't deceive him.

Only that they currently don't know how many demon beings are there; they'll assess the situation later.

According to the two, the realm of strong demon beings generally does not exceed the Third Stage of Dong Tian, but if they wield special treasures, their combat power becomes terrifying.

"Do these demon beings also have artificers?" Ye Liuyun asked Liu Xingyang and Pang Hongyu curiously.

"They probably don't have high‑grade artificers; their weapons are relatively simple. Yet the high‑end resources in this world are very powerful, so the weapons aren't weak.

Any of their weapons, once taken back for our artificers to remodel, can be upgraded several grades and become divine weapons.

Moreover, some can summon Yin Souls, some can summon Demon Beasts, and they possess all sorts of strange combat skills, making them very hard to deal with."

The two recalled this, their faces still showing fear, evidently terrified deep down.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun still wants to fight them to fully gauge their strength, and since they will meet eventually, the sooner he accumulates combat experience, the better.

Ye Liuyun, together with the two, surveyed the local monsters, and the party entered the mountains. Soon, Demon Beasts launched an attack on them.

Ye Liuyun led the team cautiously; after slaying some Demon Beasts not far into the range, they waited in place, letting blood aura attract more Demon Beasts.

After clearing most of the surrounding Demon Beasts, they advanced deeper into the mountains again. They stopped after each stretch to eliminate Demon Beasts, essentially pre‑clearing the area to prevent later reinforcements.

The deeper they went, the stronger the Demon Beasts became. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun's group possessed special skills and treasures, making the battles still quite easy.

Liu Xingyang and Pang Hongyu were initially very nervous, but seeing Ye Liuyun's group fight effortlessly, they relaxed a bit.

Just as Ye Liuyun's party pushed forward a few more sections, his Divine Sense detected several towering demons bursting out of an underground cave.

These demons had bull heads and human bodies, covered in beastly fur; standing upright they truly resembled beast‑people. Yet the demonic aura they emitted indicated they were far from weak.

Ye Liuyun estimated that these demons were the demon beings Liu Xingyang had mentioned.

There were five of these demon beings in total, each wielding a weapon; one also wore a Storage Ring, while the others had storage bags tied to them.

"It seems the refining technology here is rather backward, still using storage bags!" Ye Liuyun mused.

The demon beings let out a few roars as they emerged, summoning numerous surrounding feral beasts that charged toward Ye Liuyun's party.
