Chapter 3680: Battle Situation Changes
The weakness of using dual blades is that the blade intent generated by a single sword is a bit weaker.
But Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet is perfectly suited for it. His realm is already high and his strength great, so even if a single sword's power is weaker it does not affect his combat effectiveness.
During the fight, the Clone Puppet also tested the Item, and a single arrow shot a fleeing Third Stage of Dong Tian Martial Cultivator. That Martial Cultivator was the deputy Leader of the garrison, and counted among the strongest Martial Cultivators there.
Therefore, at this moment inside the garrison, the Martial Cultivators were quite shocked by the Transmission Talisman's message, not expecting the battle to change so dramatically.
The garrison Leader immediately summoned all Martial Cultivators back to bolster the garrison's defenses against a large‑scale Demon Beast assault. As for the mastermind behind the killing of the Seven Divine Son, he had no time to investigate.
The Kuailei and Monster Beasts that Ye Liuyun could unleash only eliminated a little over thirty Martial Cultivators, after which they all withdrew and had to return to the Underground World.
Ye Liuyun then gave half of the obtained corpses to the Dragon Beasts, and the other half to the Demon Persons as food.
Since Ye Liuyun arrived, those Demon Persons have received many benefits; their strength has risen dramatically, their weapons' grades have improved, so they are all very satisfied with the big chief Ye Liuyun.
Therefore they did not oppose Ye Liuyun's proposal to pull the entire Xingqiu into the Space World, thinking it makes no difference where it is.
Ye Liuyun also began to act on the Xingqiu's Primordial Power. Since communication failed, he resorted to a killer move, turning it into a direct threat.
He first used the Sealing Demon Tablet to violently draw the Primordial Power here, then slashed the Primordial Power with blade intent and Buddha Light Power, ready to destroy its stance outright if it disagreed.
The move proved effective; the Primordial Power could not contend with Ye Liuyun and could only surrender. Yet the Sealing Demon Tablet seized the chance to siphon a lot of its power, causing it to emit far less demon‑killing aura outward.
Ye Liuyun didn't mind. After all, there are few Demon Beasts outside now, so a slight reduction in emitted demon‑killing aura won't matter.
And once he controls the Primordial Power, Ye Liuyun's acquisition of this Xingqiu becomes much smoother.
He went straight into the Xingkong, pulling the entire Xingqiu away. After the Xingqiu is drawn into the Space World, he can return to the Underground World with just a thought.
Ye Liuyun immediately told the Elders of the tribes that they need not seal the cave entrance any longer. His Space World is absolutely safe; no one will disturb their lives.
And of course it will not let those Demon Persons and Demon Beasts run amok; it immediately had Ye Ling help restrict the Xingqiu, allowing only Lei Ming's few Demon Beasts to enter, while everyone else is barred.
At this time, Li Yuan and the others returned and discovered Ye Liuyun.
"You pulled the entire Xingqiu away?" Li Yuan asked Ye Liuyun in surprise.
Ye Liuyun could not deny it and had to admit.
"What about the Demon Beasts and Demon Persons up there?" he asked curiously.
"We killed them all," Ye Liuyun replied, not telling the truth.
He then inquired about Li Yuan and the others' experience, learning that Li Yuan had found no resources and had been constantly on the run. Now that the Martial Cultivators have withdrawn, it is suitable for them to go out and gather resources.
Ye Liuyun immediately displayed everything he had found on the Xingqiu's surface, making it easy for Li Yuan to also seek resources. Otherwise, Ye Liuyun would reap all the bounty while Li Yuan got none, and he would feel uneasy.
However, Ye Liuyun did not tell Li Yuan about the Underground World's resources. After all, he can't get in there, so telling him would be useless.
Li Yuan now has only half the Martial Cultivators and Kuailei he once had; even with concealment, there isn't much left. In this situation, if they rashly storm the Underground World, it would be a death sentence.
"How many Demon Persons are in the underground Cave?" Li Yuan asked, still very curious about the Underground World.
"There are over a thousand Demon Persons in the Cave Heaven Realm, and perhaps two thousand Demon Beasts; below the Cave Heaven Realm the numbers are roughly three to four times that," Ye Liuyun said, not revealing the true figures.
Even that figure made Li Yuan dread entering. He had assumed Ye Liuyun brought a massive army with him, enabling him to exterminate all the underground Demon Persons.
"Good thing we didn't venture down!" Li Yuan sighed.
They had previously encountered Demon Persons in battle, but it ended in a stalemate.
His Special Eye Pupil, though strong, still drains his own power to sustain. He does not think that a handful of them could stand against thousands of Cave Heaven Realm Demon Persons and Demon Beasts.
He also wanted to follow Ye Liuyun to see how he wiped out the next Xingqiu. But considering they are not yet close, Ye Liuyun likely does not want to reveal many secrets, so he proactively suggested they split up and search for resources on different Xingqiu.
Ye Liuyun thought Li Yuan was quite sensible for not causing trouble, and gladly agreed.
Moreover, he told Li Yuan that after he captures another Xingqiu, he will leave this place, and let Li Yuan go first.
He was already prepared, using the Transmission Black Tower to return to his own army. He feared that after killing the Seven Divine Son, the royal family might have set an ambush at the entrance.
"Alright then, we'll contact each other after we go out," Li Yuan reluctantly agreed.
He had already guessed from his pursuers that Ye Liuyun killed the Seven Divine Son, and knew Ye Liuyun was preparing to slip away.
Thus after parting from Ye Liuyun, he did not linger; following Ye Liuyun's clues he found some resources and promptly returned early, lest he be blamed as the killer of the Seven Divine Son for arriving too late.
As soon as he left, the patrol dispatched from the garrison discovered that a Demon Beast Xingqiu had vanished.
This shocked not only the garrison but also the God King.
He immediately guessed it was Ye Liuyun's doing.
"It seems I must obtain Ye Liuyun!" he muttered, pondering how to recruit Ye Liuyun.
Capturing a Demon Beast Xingqiu means Ye Liuyun is not only powerful but also knows how to control those Demon Beasts.
And that method is what he must obtain. Only by gaining the way to control Demon Beasts can he devise a solution to this invasion crisis.
He immediately summoned Right Prime Minister Bai Yunmu, ordering him to dispatch many strongmen and soldiers to the royal hunting ground's exit, to capture Ye Liuyun alive.
Bai Yunmu also guessed the God King's intention: to obtain the method for dealing with Demon Beasts, he would strike at Ye Liuyun.
What he didn't expect was that Li Yuan had just emerged from the Secret Realm, while Ye Liuyun would never leave it again.
