Chapter 3744: Subduing Guǐ Sòu

Guǐ Sòu calmly told Ye Liuyun: "Before you kill me, you will be attacked by the formation here, and everyone in this stronghold will be engulfed by my blood pool, turning into a pool of blood."

"Of course, I might eventually be killed by you, or be blown apart by the energy in the blood pool. But you and the people you brought will also be annihilated by the formation and the blood pool here!"

Ye Liuyun, though still outside and unable to see the blood pool clearly, sensed that the aura emanating from it was far from ordinary.

The Clone Puppet using the Godslaying Bow might pierce it with a single arrow, but that is not the outcome Ye Liuyun desires.

He immediately summoned Chaotic Azure Lotus, activated Time Power, and this time he directly reversed time, returning to before the Clone Puppet and others entered the dungeon.

Then he froze time, released his three Souls, rushed into the dungeon, and entered Guǐ Sòu's Sea of Consciousness.

Both of Guǐ Sòu's Soul sources are covered with a layer of black gauze, a treasure that defends against Spiritual Soul Attacks, likely the thing that blocked Qian Meng and the Clone Puppet's illusion techniques.

Fortunately, under the frozen time and before the Clone Puppet and others entered, it had not yet been activated.

Ye Liuyun directly tore off the black gauze, forcibly placed a Slave Seal on Guǐ Sòu, and immediately began Soul Search. Dealing with such a difficult opponent, he didn't mind wasting a bit more Chaotic Azure Lotus energy.

During his search, he discovered that the blood pool was actually a manifestation of Guǐ Sòu's Cave Heaven World.

Ye Liuyun had no chance to try cutting the blood pool with a blade; otherwise he would have found that even the Demon Slaying Sword, using its full blade intent, cannot move the blood pool.

Because the blood pool is formed from the Primordial Power of seven planets within Guǐ Sòu's Cave Heaven World. If the Clone Puppet were to strike with full force, it might wound the pool, but a single slash to destroy it is impossible.

Guǐ Sòu can cultivate this blood pool either inside his body or outside; as long as it contains fresh blood, he can directly use it for cultivation.

He keeps it outside because he is certain ordinary people cannot discover the secret, and while he hides inside the dungeon, they usually cannot locate him.

Thus, once he breaks through the Sevenfold Cave Heaven realm, he can pass safely.

Moreover, Guǐ Sòu is indeed cunning; he tampered with the formation and left a Clone Puppet outside.

He knows a secret technique that can possess the living and can inject a Soul into a dead one's Sea of Consciousness. Thus his clones are created this way, though their Soul power is weak.

If he did not divide his Soul among several clones, his Soul power would be greater.

Inside Guǐ Sòu's Storage Ring are two Sevenfold Cave Heaven puppets, made from bodies he had kept after killing strong opponents outside the domain and later fashioned into puppets.

Add Guǐ Sòu himself, and if they truly fought, it might indeed be a mutually disastrous outcome.

What shocked Ye Liuyun most was that Guǐ Sòu is actually Wang Tianqi's son and also the First Divine Son, Wang Wenhao.

He fled here under a false name because he previously coveted the God King's position, which made Wang Tianqi distrust him; during a battle with the Demon Race, Wang Tianqi abandoned him.

Even Wang Tianqi thought he had died in battle, but in fact he was captured by a demon, brutally abused, and forced to cultivate this Demonic Cultivation. He eventually seized a chance, killed the demon, and barely escaped.

The hallmark of his Demonic Cultivation is that it requires living flesh and blood to refine, and once begun, it only advances or regresses; prolonged neglect causes one's blood to boil away, eventually drying up and dying.

Although he knows he is now neither human nor ghost, he has no other choice; to seek revenge and overthrow the Central Dynasty, he must endure.

He originally planned, after breaking through his realm, to go beyond the domain to recruit troops and then return to kill.

He pays little attention to the affairs of the Central Dynasty, but also knows Ye Liuyun has already controlled Wang Wenli. He originally thought that once he has strength, he would return to discuss cooperation with Ye Li

yun to cooperate, never expecting Ye Li

yun would come here so early to kill him.

"No need to go, I have already controlled him; just let him come out on his own!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also blocked the Clone Puppet and others who were rushing to the dungeon.

Soon after, Guǐ Sòu himself walked out of the dungeon and acknowledged Ye Liuyun as his master.

"Master!"

He saluted Ye Liuyun, still wondering in his mind whether Ye Liuyun used a Time Halo to control him.

"Then the master's Soul power should be stronger than mine!"

He believed that only if Ye Liuyun's Soul power exceeded his could the Time Halo be activated to control him. He had been guarding against the God King's Time Halo, so he always focused on cultivating Soul power, never expecting to meet someone stronger.

"Stop daydreaming; my Soul power isn't stronger than yours, I just used a special method!" Ye Liuyun didn't wait for him to speak, and told him directly.

This made Guǐ Sòu immediately realize that Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal is special and can probe his thoughts, so he stopped speculating.

Ye Liuyun actually holds this clever person in high regard. Moreover, Guǐ Sòu's Demonic Cultivation was never his intention and is irreversible, so Ye Liuyun now finds Guǐ Sòu much more agreeable.

He even feels a bit pity for him. Even a tiger won't eat its cubs, yet Wang Wenhao was abandoned by his own father. Falling from the status of Divine Son to a Demon Race slave, betrayed by his father, shows he has endured many hardships.

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered Guǐ Sòu: "From now on, follow me; I still have confidence in your abilities. I normally wouldn't use a Slave Seal to control you, but while the Slave Seal is on, you cannot act against me!"

"Continue your cultivation; use these bandits on the mountain to first break through to the Sevenfold Cave Heaven. Anyway, these bandits aren't good people, taking them out to manage is also problematic. From now on they'll be yours; bring them into the Cave Heaven World and gradually diminish them."

He also returned Guǐ Sòu's zombie puppets and clones to him, letting him handle them himself.

Then he and the Clone Puppet left the stronghold with his own people, leaving Guǐ Sòu to deal with it himself. Guǐ Sòu didn't expect Ye Liuyun to be so trusting, even allowing him to continue breaking through.

The remaining matters are much easier to resolve. Han Tong and others are his old subordinates and now remain under his command.

He immediately had Han Tong summon those bandits in groups, bring them into his Cave Heaven World, and then begin cultivation.

As for the Martial Cultivators of the Cave Heaven Realm controlled by Ye Liuyun, he has already placed them under servitude and cannot kill them, so he lets them temporarily guard the stronghold.

The Clone Puppet he left outside was also recalled to the stronghold to avoid being mistakenly killed by Wang Wenli. Recent code conversion issues have motivated us to update faster; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
