Chapter 3707: Take Proper Precautions

"Young Master Ye still wants to go?" Li Chengfeng asked at once.

"Going is definitely necessary. Since he's already set the trap, I can't dodge it!" Ye Liuyun spread his hands and said: "I reckon if he doesn't kill me, he still won't be at ease!"

"Would that affect the Martial Cultivators' resistance against the Demon Race's assault? If he can't kill you, between you two…"

Li Chengfeng suddenly realized that this was no longer just a struggle between the God King and Ye Liuyun, but would involve the entire Xing Xi.

If mishandled, it would give the Demon Race a chance to slip in and fully invade their Xing Xi.

"It won't greatly affect the resistance against the Demon Race's attack. It's just that I haven't figured out what to do if he can't kill me."

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts.

"Wang Tianqi could lose two sons and remain indifferent; that shows his deep scheming, and he acts cold and ruthless. Someone like that could never let others shake his position and authority.

Moreover, since he's decided to act, he must have set up a death‑trap, and I might truly face danger this time! Yet I cannot deliver a killing blow to him.

If he dies, the central dynasty will be in chaos. The Martial Cultivators' fight against the Demon Race won't be affected for the moment, but the central dynasty will certainly be impacted; the power struggle among the divine princes will cause the great army to split internally, morale to drop, and the populace to become anxious, with fear spreading.

So even though the feud with the God King can't be reconciled, I still can't kill him right now."

Thinking of that, Ye Liuyun felt a headache. It meant he could only take the blows and not strike back.

He could only have Li Chengfeng and others, after they entered the Demon Race's passage, shift the Li Family's resources and offspring toward the Western Region and Southern Region as much as possible, to avoid collateral damage.

At the same time, he had Li Chengfeng gather information on two other merchant guilds. Those guilds had been covertly acting against him, and during the Five Domains Grand Tournament they spent money to bribe participants to try to kill Ye Liuyun.

Since his relationship with them was already strained, Ye Liuyun could as well rob them again without any consequence.

Next, he also had everyone prepare to deal with the traps set by the God King.

All the Kuailei were brimming with energy; Gu Changhong and others were busy inscribing various talismans onto the Mercenaries and Monster Beasts. They had even already greeted those demonic beings, so that when needed they would appear to assist in battle.

Ye Liuyun also halted his cultivation, carefully considering the ways the God King might strike and his own countermeasures.

If the army were to encircle him, he would definitely have ample time to escape via the Black Tower's teleportation. Moreover, after his mysterious disappearance from the passage last time, the God King might suspect he possesses a teleportation treasure, so he likely wouldn't use such a crude method.

Furthermore, based on the strength he displayed, if the God King sends out Martial Cultivator elites, their numbers would certainly not be few, and he should be able to sense it in advance.

Only the major forces that bear a grudge against him, and openly can't defeat him, would dispatch some Martial Cultivators to ambush during their battles.

He estimates that the God King will definitely have Li Yuan try again, to see if he can devise a way to harvest Xingqiu. So when they go in, they probably won't act. They'll likely strike him suddenly after they emerge.

If that's the case, the likelihood of the God King acting directly is even higher. After all, on this Xingqiu, the God King's qi‑fortune is his invincible guarantee.

Moreover, in order to draw out the main body, they won't directly kill the Clone Puppet; they'll likely aim to capture it alive or trap it. That requires the opponent to have absolute overwhelming power over the Clone Puppet.

"Could it be a Formation? But he knows I have Gu Changhong and other rune Formation experts beside me; even if they use a Formation, they couldn't hold us for long!

They'd definitely also employ Spiritual Soul Attack methods, and the attacker's Divine Soul Power certainly wouldn't be weak. Yet I have the Ten Thousand Gods Command, so I shouldn't encounter danger.

It could also be that they've summoned a stronger being from beyond the domain; then I'll give the Godslaying Bow to the Clone Puppet, and even a Martial Cultivator beyond the Dòngtiān Jìngjiè would be no problem."

Ye Liuyun suddenly thought again: "Even if they can handle the Clone Puppet, what pretext would they use to lure my main body

out? They should know that once the Clone Puppet is captured or killed, I'll sense it, and certainly won't fall for a surface trap."

Or perhaps they have a way to trap the Kuailei, control its Soul, and then locate me through the Clone Puppet?"

He pondered and felt that it's more likely the God King would first control the Kuailei, then use it to find his main body.

"Another possibility is that they'd coax the Clone Puppet into a Secret Realm or a Cave Heaven controlled by others. As long as I'm cautious before entering the Formation, I can still spot the clue…"

Ye Liuyun spent several days envisioning all possible scenarios in his mind, and only when he felt it was enough did he begin to study the newly acquired Cave Heaven World, hoping to find some inspiration within.

Within this Cave Heaven World there are ten Xingqiu; given the number of Xingqiu, it should be a Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng level Martial Cultivator, and it's unclear why such a powerful being fell.

On each Xingqiu there is a habitable architectural complex, each with a different style, but they're all deserted, with not even a trace of Divine Sense left. Elsewhere, most areas are primitive forest terrains, with many varieties of ferocious beasts.

The distribution of the ten Xingqiu also forms a Nine Stars Embracing Moon pattern, though it doesn't constitute a polity; one can only discern which is the primary star.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also probed within the primary star's architectural complex, finding many items, and even the resources in the Treasure Vault were still intact.

"Is this central dynasty truly generous, or have they already taken the best things, leaving only these ordinary resources?"…

Ye Liuyun scanned around but found no high‑end resources, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Just as he was about to withdraw his Divine Sense, he suddenly spotted a black cat perched on a vacant patch behind a building, as if kneeling before a stone tablet ahead.

But when Ye Liuyun looked at the tablet, the black cat abruptly opened its eyes—pair of vertical gray‑blue pupils—staring straight at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's mind wavered under the cat's glare, making standing difficult as if about to fall. The cat's instant burst of Soul pressure was far greater than his.

However, since he is the master of this Cave Heaven World, no creature within should be able to harm him. The black cat likely just felt disturbed and issued a warning to Ye Liuyun.

Yet as the master of this Secret Realm, being warned by a mere cat, he certainly couldn't just stop there, and would absolutely prevent such an occurrence from happening again.

So he thought for a moment, and his main body instantly manifested before the black cat to assess its strength, but he discovered that even with Golden Pupil he still could not see the cat's Soul power or realm.
