Chapter 3778: All Tactics Unleashed

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized: "I get it, no wonder that old man was so desperate for this cane. He actually merged his Cave Heaven World into the cane, using it as a weapon to boost its attack power."

A Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng strongman has nine Xingqiu within his Cave Heaven World, each containing a Primordial Power; fusing them into a weapon makes its power unbelievably strong. The prerequisite is that he can keep the weapon safe.

"The Cave Heaven World can be used like this?" Ye Liuyun thought he had truly broadened his horizons.

He currently lacks the ability to merge his Space World into a weapon.

"Another Martial Cultivator of the Hédào Jìngjiè has arrived!" the Clone Puppet reminded him at that moment.

Ye Liuyun immediately put the cane away, letting the Magic Vine lie in wait underground. Then he ordered Qiong Qi and the others to repair the Formation as much as possible.

Soon, that Hédào Jìngjiè Martial Cultivator arrived before the Formation. Qiong Qi and the others had no choice but to retreat.

After sizing up the Formation, the Martial Cultivator laughed.

He looked at the Clone Puppet that had taken Ye Liuyun's appearance, shook his head, then scanned around, landing his gaze on Ye Liuyun.

He spoke directly to Ye Liuyun's true self: "Trying to fool this old man with a Kuailei? Your sleight of hand might work on others, but it's far from enough for me!"

Ye Liuyun's pupils narrowed; he hadn't expected to be seen through by the old man so quickly.

"Don't wait, just shoot him!"

Ye Liuyun instantly sent a Transmission Voice to the Clone Puppet; the old man's strength was too great, so striking first was safer.

But as soon as the Clone Puppet drew the Godslaying Bow, the old man also moved.

A war chariot burst out of his Sea of Consciousness, with two Souls inside. One Soul wielded a long spear, the other a crossbow, and they charged straight at Ye Liuyun.

"Wait! That old guy is courting death!" Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the Clone Puppet to stop.

Spiritual Soul Attack—he's never feared it. The old man's Souls are strong, but he can definitely handle them. He's just curious how the old man will break through all those Formations.

To his surprise, the many layers of Formation were as if nonexistent before the war chariot. The chariot encountered no obstacle and barreled straight into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Inside, the Ten Thousand Gods Command's Golden Light instantly enveloped him, then Chaotic Azure Lotus pressed down, rendering him immobile.

Ye Liuyun's Soul also rushed in, first disarming the long spear and crossbow in the old man's hands, then pulling the two Souls off the war chariot.

This netted the war chariot, long spear, and crossbow—three Soul‑related treasures.

He then placed a Slave Seal on both Souls and began a Soul Search to learn how they pierced the Formation.

It turned out the old man was that external Formation expert; his Soul War Chariot is a treasure that can pierce any Formation.

Coupled with his long spear and crossbow, the three treasures together are almost invincible.

"Good stuff! I'll take it!"

He immediately gave the items to the Clone Puppet for backup.

Then he returned the old man's Soul.

"Come in!" Ye Liuyun reactivated the Formation, letting the old man enter.

"This guy is a Formation Master; you can use him first to see if any useful information can be found," Ye Liuyun assigned the old man to Qiong Qi.

"Alright! Come over and tell this emperor what you know…" Qiong Qi promptly took the old man aside to question him.

The Clone Puppet instantly refined those three Soul treasures, perhaps later they could be used against others.

After questioning for a while, Qiong Qi sent the old man back to Ye Liuyun.

"This old guy's Formation skill isn't inferior to mine; he's just not familiar with runes. After you get him accustomed to a Formation, he'll be more useful than Gu Changhong."

"It's a pity to kill him; keep him by your side, and you can call on him for future Formations, no need to summon me again."

"Is he really that strong?" Ye Liuyun wondered if Qiong Qi was trying to slack off.

"I'm still in your Space World; even if I wanted to trap you, I wouldn't trap myself!" Qiong Qi's words dispelled Ye Liuyun's concerns.

"Alright, then keep him for now!" Ye Liuyun agreed.

However, although he agreed, he didn't immediately recall Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters back to the Space World. Instead, he sent the old man directly to Sun Que, letting Sun Que prioritize refining this Kuailei.

His Golden Pupil could see that the old man's strength was indeed great, but his Physical Body was weak. He wore several layers of protective garments, covered with various Defense Arrays. For Ye Liuyun, the Kuailei was still more practical.

"You're really ruthless!" Qiong Qi laughed upon seeing that.

Ye Liuyun was indifferent: "Who told him to try to kill me? If I don't kill him, that's fine! Later he'll still need to learn runes, but a Kuailei is easier to control."

Qiong Qi also nodded, praising: "You finally have a hint of the emperor's bearing!"

Ye Liuyun, too lazy to bother, urged him to quickly add more layers of Formation while no one was around. He realized he had previously underestimated these foreign Martial Cultivators.

These foreign Martial Cultivators indeed possessed some skill. Even their displayed techniques were stronger than those of ordinary Martial Cultivators.

"I don't know their level abroad; after Sun Que finishes refining the Kuailei, I'll ask them properly! I also need to understand how to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm!"

He thought the two captives could be used to learn about the foreign situation, to learn about the Cave Heaven Realm and even the Hédào Jìngjiè.

Next, they encountered another Hédào Jìngjiè strongman. However, that strongman's specialty was Spatial Power, and he could also ignore Formation barriers, appearing directly inside the Formation.

He couldn't distinguish Ye Liuyun from the Clone Puppet, and seized the Clone Puppet's neck. Ye Liuyun, to save the Clone Puppet, didn't have time to think; a white Technique shot out, inadvertently killing the strongman.

"Ah, just use Time Power!"

After killing, he regretted it, wishing he had captured another strongman.

He quickly remedied it, activating Chaotic Azure Lotus, first reversing Time, then freezing Time, placing a Slave Seal on the strongman, determined to subdue him.

A Hédào Jìngjiè strongman who also wields Spatial Power and can pierce Formations—this ability is exactly what Ye Liuyun needs.

After subduing the Martial Cultivator, he sent him directly to Sun Que.

"The new Zhan Kong has arrived; it's up to you!" Ye Liuyun even had the name ready, without consulting the Martial Cultivator's opinion.
