Chapter 3715: Facing Danger

Ye Liuyun, after receiving the news, immediately issued orders to Ye Ying, telling them to begin assassinating the key figures of two other merchant guilds and the direct heirs of those families.

These people were not as well prepared as the Li Family. They did not expect Ye Liuyun to actually strike in the Royal City. And when they tried to retaliate against the Li Family, they found the Li Family had already vanished, having relocated to the Western Region and the Southern Region.

Ye Liuyun also stopped after acquiring the last Xingqiu.

"Twelve Xingqiu, this time's harvest was considerable; it's time to face danger! God King Wang Tianqi, let me see what abilities you have!"

He murmured, released a Flying Boat, and headed toward the base. This is his showdown with the world's God King; there is no escape, he must confront it.

This is Ye Liuyun's true body. Although the Clone Puppet is strong and its Physical Body is sturdy, its methods are still fewer than his. Moreover, with the Ten Thousand Gods Command, he is more confident in dealing with Spiritual Soul Attacks.

His Golden Pupil has already seen a thousand demon troops rushing toward here from afar.

Within the base, on the surrounding Xingqiu, there are also many newly arrived Martial Cultivators. With these people in the base, the demons won't be able to breach it immediately.

The base has a large number of protective Formations, and the Royal Palace's experts and the Imperial Guard can reinforce at any time. He doesn't need to worry about any of these.

As soon as Ye Liuyun returned to the base, the President stepped out to greet him.

"Young Master Ye, you finally returned; the God King has been waiting for you for a long time, saying he wants to discuss joining forces to resist the monsters with you."

The President said with a flattering expression, fearing Ye Liuyun might cause more trouble.

He had received a death order from the God King, mandating that Ye Liuyun be sent back through a fixed Teleportation Array. The God King also specially dispatched several palace experts to monitor his execution.

"Alright then, please have the President activate the Teleportation Array for me!"

Ye Liuyun did not make it difficult for him.

The few experts behind the President, though they concealed their realms, had long been seen by him, and he understood they were certainly supervisors arranged by the God King.

These people's strength is no longer enough to defeat him; at most they can only surveil.

The situation inside the base hasn't changed much; only a few more experts have appeared, and no additional stationed soldiers were sent, indicating the God King doesn't intend to act here.

So he followed the President directly to a Teleportation Array leading to the Royal Palace.

He had already surveyed the Formations inside the base with his Golden Pupil and memorized them, so upon arrival he first inspected the Formation and found no real differences; at least the end of the Formation should not be linked to any Secret Realm.

"Could Wang Tianqi be preparing to clash with me inside the Royal Palace? Does he really trust that his auspicious boost can surpass me?" he wondered inwardly whether Wang Tianqi was about to strike directly.

"The Formation is already activated, Young Master Ye, please!"

The President also made a beckoning gesture to Ye Liuyun. As soon as Ye Liuyun enters the Formation, his mission will be considered fully completed.

"Hmm!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, walked slowly toward the Formation, and his War God armor had already covered his skin's surface.

Before he could steady himself, the President impatiently activated the Formation, letting out a breath.

"That plague god is finally sent away!"

As the Formation's light flickered, Ye Liuyun's figure instantly vanished.

When he reappeared, it was indeed inside the Royal Palace, not within a Secret Realm controlled by anyone.

This made Ye Liuyun let out a sigh of relief; at least this wasn't the worst-case scenario he had anticipated.

However, the location of his appearance also kept him from being careless. Though still within the Royal Palace's domain, it was on the most remote plain of the inner palace.

The God King didn't make major changes to the Formation, likely fearing Ye Liuyun would detect flaws.

Although there was no one nearby, behind him lay an entrance to a Secret Realm, and ahead were countless Formations. If a battle broke out, he could

hardly have any room to evade, and leaving immediately would be impossible.

He immediately released Little Witch, letting it perch on his shoulder, then positioned Gu Changhong, the Clone Puppet with altered appearance, Zhan Kong, and Qian Meng—the four main combat forces—ready in formation.

"There are people in the void, and their numbers aren't small!"

When Zhan Kong emerged, he sensed the void's fluctuations.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun decisively ordered Zhan Kong to enter the void and slay the ambushed Martial Cultivators, then instructed Gu Changhong to quickly break through the Formation ahead.

The Secret Realm behind him was unknown, possibly controlled by someone, so he certainly wouldn't try to break out from there; he could only breach the Formation from the front.

As Gu Changhong broke the Formation, the Clone Puppet and Qian Meng were also active, tossing talismans outward to aid in breaking the Formation, and using the Formation Plate to set up a simple protective shield that enclosed everyone.

Combat vibrations immediately echoed in the void, followed by a series of booming sounds that even burst the void open.

"It seems Zhan Kong's opponents aren't weak; Zhan Kong must have used talismans, which caused such a commotion."

Just as Ye Liuyun thought of this, Zhan Kong fell out of the void, landing on his back first, looking somewhat clumsy. However, as a puppet his metallic body was hard, so he sustained no fatal injuries.

"Master, in the ninth layer of the void there are twenty experts; their Spatial Power is no weaker than mine, and their realms are even higher!" Zhan Kong immediately reported to Ye Liuyun.

"I've only taken down two, and can't stop their onslaught. Inside the void they've also set up sealing Formations; I have no room to fight."

"No problem, then stay here; we'll speak when they dare to strike us." Ye Liuyun also didn't make things difficult for Zhan Kong.

"Boom"—a blasting sound, and the Clone Puppet and Qian Meng used talismans to directly blast open a Formation ahead of them.

Adding the one Gu Changhong just broke open gave them a slightly larger maneuvering space, but still insufficient for combatants of their level; they remained in a passive, hit‑and‑take situation.

At this moment, the God King suddenly appeared with several elite guards, observing Ye Liuyun through the Formation. Seeing the black cat perched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder, the God King narrowed his eyes and dared not get too close to Ye Liuyun.

He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun could tame the black cat so quickly. What was meant to be a trap for Ye Liuyun turned out to be delivering a deadly weapon to the opponent.

Ye Liuyun also noticed his expression and silently laughed that the God King had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

He didn't avoid the God King's gaze and asked directly, "God King, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, just a Clone Puppet. I've been scheming for you for so long; you should be content! Tell me how you harvest monster Xingqiu, and I'll let you go; otherwise, wait for your true body to rescue you!"

The God King threatened Ye Liuyun with a blank expression. He still thought it was merely a puppet clone.

Ye Liuyun replied calmly, "I will never come to rescue a puppet. But has the God King considered the consequences of doing this?" Recently the transcoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click a little to exit reading mode. Thank you.
