Chapter 3692: Someone Else Takes Over

As for Li Yuan, Ye Liuyun doesn't blame him, knowing that if he weren't being controlled, he would never risk his life for the God King. If he were willing to be a dog for others, there would have been plenty of chances before to show loyalty to the God King, without waiting until now.

But he still can't act directly to rescue Li Yuan now. On one hand, he isn't sure he can break the contract between the God King and Li Yuan; perhaps the God King has special means of controlling people.

On the other hand, if the God King originally didn't intend to act against him, only to monitor him, then this move would actually show that he's opposing the God King.

So he still has to wait a bit longer, using Li Yuan to see what the God King really intends.

After Li Yuan returned to his residence and learned that Ye Liuyun safely returned to the Li Family, he finally believed that the God King would not act.

"Could he have seen that I'm being controlled by the God King? But it doesn't seem like it—if he really had seen it, shouldn't he have stepped in to rescue me?"

"With his wit, he shouldn't think I voluntarily pledged to the God King, right? Or maybe he was just joking, trusting me too much and missing my change!"

At the same time, he kept speculating what the joke Ye Liuyun made during the day actually meant.

After Ye Liuyun returned, Li Chengfeng also completely relaxed, and sincerely admired Ye Liuyun's foresight.

Ye Liuyun immediately went back into the Space World to check the refinement progress of the Clone Puppet.

At this moment, the Clone Puppet has basically completed the refinement of the Foreign Tribe's three‑eyed ones, but is still in the consolidation stage. In another five days, with the use of green and purple Crystal Stones, it will be fully refined.

Ye Liuyun didn't idle; he used this time to spar with Zhan Kong, honing Spatial Power. After five days, he finally reached the ninth layer of the spatial barrier.

However, he didn't rush to enter the ninth void directly; instead he began to temper his Physical Body, seeking Lei Ming and other Monster Beasts to fight with his body.

Although the Clone Puppet finished refinement before the contest, it hasn't had time to try attacking with Black and White Light, so it must wait until after the match to practice. Therefore that day's contest still required it to fight based on its own strength.

In fact, if it were just a matter of realm, the Clone Puppet would already be unbeatable among the contestants. But because this competition had few restrictions, Ye Liuyun worried it might get damaged.

In the training arena, Li Yuan saw that the Clone Puppet had arrived today, and his mood instantly lifted.

The God King would never act against just a single puppet; even if this puppet's Divine Soul Power is considerable, he would definitely wait until Ye Liuyun's true body appears before acting.

That is good news for him. He has a chance for Ye Liuyun to notice his problem and intervene to rescue him. But he has a contract with the God King, so he cannot betray the God King yet; he can only hope Ye Liuyun will spot some clues.

However, today's match had the Clone Puppet as the first entrant. It turned out today was the final elimination round, pitting the Martial Cultivator with the earliest Token number against the one with the latest Token number among the remaining.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind; whether early or late, it made no difference.

But his opponent this round was Chu Han, a Soul Cultivator from the Northern Territory. Ye Liuyun recalled that Chu Han still had twenty or thirty Cave Heaven Realm beasts in his possession.

However, when Chu Han entered, he didn't release any beasts. The Clone Puppet was curious about how he intended to fight it.

Ye Liuyun had already seen Chu Han's Divine Soul Power yesterday; at the Second Stage of Dong Tian, his Divine Soul Power already surpasses that of a Martial Cultivator at the Fourth Stage of Dong Tian.

But that comparison only holds for ordinary people; his Divine Soul Power is actually similar to the Clone Puppet's. Without special abilities, he wouldn't gain an advantage in a Divine Soul duel with the Clone Puppet.

"How? You want to fight me one‑on‑one?" the Clone Puppet asked outright.

Instead, Chu Han merely smiled faintly, shook his head, and then two powerful soul sources immediately departed from his true body, drifting across the arena, and did not hastily launch a Divine Soul Attack against it.

"I know those beasts aren't your match, and I'm worried you'd send someone to ambush me with that Black Light. But I won't fight you one‑on‑one.

My goal is to kill you, the scourge of the Northern Territory, so I won't talk about a fair fight."

As Chu Han spoke, his Divine Soul kept shifting rapidly, clearly wary of Ye Liuyun's Black Light.

"What? Did I infringe on your Chu family's interests in the Northern Territory?" Ye Liuyun asked casually. Even if he did, it wouldn't change anything, nor would he apologize or compensate the Chu family.

But Chu Han, pretending to be magnanimously righteous, proudly said, "You dare think you can touch the Chu family's interests? Foolish dream—do you even have the ability?"

"I just can't stand your domineering style of sending subordinates to cause trouble in the Northern Territory, covering the sky with one hand; I just want to seek justice for the Northern Territory!"

"Hm? Heh, I get it, you're just another fool being used as a gun. Don't worry, after I kill you, I'll remember to pay a visit to your Chu family!"

Ye Liuyun immediately recognized him as a fool being used as a weapon, hoping to make a name by killing him. He's seen plenty of such people.

"Bold words without shame, you want to enter the Chu family? You must first get past me! Today I'll show you the true strength of our Chu family's younger generation!" Chu Han said, feeling he had shown enough, and was ready to act.

But he knew the beasts weren't Ye Liuyun's match, so he directly used his trump card.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned from his Physical Body's Storage Ring over a hundred powerful Yin Souls. These Yin Souls were mostly at the Cave Heaven Realm level, including Martial Cultivators and beasts, bearing dense Yin energy as they surged toward Ye Liuyun, dropping the arena's temperature by several degrees.

Moreover, since these Yin Souls were in soul‑body form, they moved swiftly; Ye Liuyun couldn't even cast a talisman in time, only watching helplessly as they rushed into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Ha ha, you still try to target the Chu family, you have no chance. Meet your death!" Chu Han said with a grim grin.

He had calculated that Ye Liuyun wouldn't have time to react. Even if there were treasures in his Sea of Consciousness, the hundred strong Yin Souls would still inflict severe damage on Ye Liuyun.

Even if Ye Liuyun miraculously survived, his Storage Ring still held a batch of Yin Souls for another wave of attack.

The Chu family's cultivation method actually absorbs the power of these Yin Souls for training. So he came this time with plenty of such cultivation resources.

"Is that it? Any more?"

Just as he was smug, Ye Liuyun's voice suddenly rang out again.

"Hm?" Chu Han jumped in shock upon hearing it. The audience also gasped. So many powerful Yin Souls surged into the Sea of Consciousness; even treasures couldn't block them, yet Ye Liuyun seemed completely unfazed.

"You… how are you unscathed… how is this possible?" Chu Han's face showed disbelief.
