Chapter 3871: Dragon Soul Suppression

Ye Liuyun then released the Monster Beasts, the Kuailei, and the women.

He kept several Kuailei with him—Clone Puppet, Zhan Kong, the painter, Gu Changhong, Qian Meng, the Demon King, Bà Tiān, and the like.

"Painter, set the formation; Kuailei protect the women; if anyone else is in danger, use Skeleton Puppet! Kill!"

At Ye Liuyun's command, he led everyone to charge forward.

Only the painter stayed behind to arrange the Formation, while Qi Tian stared in amazement.

Roar, roar!

Beast roars kept echoing, and the Monster Beasts on Ye Liuyun's side all manifested their true forms and surged forward. For them, battling ferocious beasts was their favorite.

However, the ferocious beasts here were all of low realms; even that black wolf was merely at the fourth layer of Dòngtiān Jìngjiè.

Long Nv manifested her true form, released Bloodline Pressure, and the ferocious beasts that rushed up all fell to the ground, whimpering and wailing, too scared to move.

When she released several Dragon Souls from her Coiling Dragon Staff, the beast hordes that surrounded them were all stunned into immobility. Even the black wolf was forced to lie on the ground, stunned.

"Sister Long Nv, could you pull some back? Otherwise we won't have anything to fight!" Lei Ming still wanted Long Nv to withdraw some Dragon Souls.

"Quick battle, quick finish; don't waste energy on these brutes!"

Ye Liuyun then ordered them to eliminate those brutes as quickly as possible, saving strength for stronger opponents.

From the black wolf's words earlier, he guessed they had already been marked by the Beast King here, and that even stronger ferocious beasts would later strike at them.

"Oh!"

Lei Ming could only agree with a nod and lunged toward some slightly higher‑realm ferocious beasts.

The other Monster Beasts were the same; the fight wasn't that thrilling, but they still harvested plenty of food and cultivation resources.

When Qi Tian finally reacted and rushed to help, he found there was essentially nothing to fight.

The places where Ye Liuyun's Monster Beasts and the women had passed were left only with carcasses of ferocious beasts scattered everywhere.

Looking again at the black wolf and other ferocious beasts of Dòngtiān realm, they had already been specifically cleared out by Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming and the other Monster Beasts.

Long Nv's massive dragon body hovered in the air, the gigantic Dragon Soul around her swam, enveloping the entire valley, and dragon roars sounded in waves, making Qi Tian feel a bit uneasy.

"Good thing I didn't challenge that black dragon first; otherwise we might not even get to fight, and would be wiped out directly by those Dragon Souls!"

He was still relieved in his heart that he hadn't provoked Long Nv.

When Ye Liuyun slayed the ferocious beasts, he didn't forget to practice Time Power, devouring the Soul of the powerful beast's soul source, and also scanned the Soul, learning that they had been marked by Monster Beasts while conversing with Qi Tian inside the city.

And Qi Tian's father was the only ferocious beast on Xingqiu that dared to challenge the Beast King, so they usually didn't dare to provoke Qi Tian.

"It seems the world of beasts is simpler. What they say is what they mean; the cunning ones are still a minority!"

When he learned that Qi Tian wasn't allied with those ferocious beasts, his mind eased. Otherwise he would have doubted whether Qi Tian's taking them to the Ming Dragon Abyss had some ulterior motive.

Unfortunately, these ferocious beasts also didn't know why the Beast King was capturing the Dragon Clan. They simply believed that catching the Dragon Clan would let them enter the Ming Dragon Abyss and find more Dragon Clan relics.

The Ming Dragon Abyss was also a dangerous place for them; weak ferocious beasts that entered couldn't get out. Only some Beast King‑level strong ones dared to explore it.

As for what dangers lie inside, they didn't know.

After gathering the information, Ye Liuyun began using the fairly meaty ferocious beasts to practice his sword, then stored the beast carcasses as food reserves.

The other Monster Beasts and the women did the same; for ferocious beasts with poor meat quality or inedible, they dealt heavy blows, crushing the bodies to harvest Yuan Dan.

For those usable as food reserves, they tried not to damage the flesh, leaving the bodies intact. Then they all cleaned the battlefield and handed the remains to Ye Liuyun's women for disposal.

Qi Tian, however, felt that the main credit belonged to Long Nv, so he didn't take any of the corpses.

But after the battle, he still envied Ye Liuyun and his group; a single fight yielded so much.

Lei Ming tossed the black wolf's corpse to Qi Tian.

"You've performed well; keep that black wolf for yourself to eat!"

Lei Ming, worthy of being the leader among ferocious beasts, already knew how to recruit subordinates.

Qi Tian smiled as he accepted, only grinning widely.

After they finished cleaning the battlefield, they returned to the city, found a tavern, and almost bought out all its wine and dishes. Then they boarded a Flying Boat, preparing for Qi Tian to lead the way toward the Ming Dragon Abyss.

So just as they got back onto the Flying Boat, Ye Liuyun called everyone down, docked the Flying Boat, and led the group out of the city at high speed.

It turned out his Golden Pupil saw a massive beast tide rushing toward here; evidently the Beast King was unwilling to let them go so easily and had summoned a large number of ferocious beasts to chase them.

"Set the formation!"

Ye Liuyun had the painter arrange a Formation on the open ground before the city walls to intercept the beast tide.

Then he pre‑placed Magic Vine underground, letting it use earth and stone to block the beast tide.

"Sòng Cháng'ān, go find the Beast King and bring him back alive!" He then ordered someone to capture the Beast King, hoping to learn why the Beast King was capturing Dragon Clan ferocious beasts.

A flock of flying birds from afar swarmed toward here. Long Nv, the Nine‑headed Demon Dragon, and the Vermilion Bird manifested their true forms without Ye Liuyun's command, guarding the sky.

Ye Liuyun had the Clone Puppet and Zhan Kong watch the sky, assisting Long Nv in defense, while he led Gu Changhong and others to guard the ground.

This time he didn't release the women, fearing they'd be hurt by the ferocious beasts; instead he only let the Monster Beasts and Metal Puppet prepare for battle.

Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet's Golden Pupil scanned the beast herd, finding no ferocious beasts above the Sixth Layer of Dòngtiān, which eased their minds considerably.

Against a Hédào Jìngjiè master, no matter how many ferocious beasts of this realm, they are no match.

"So you stay to monitor the battlefield, I'll go out to practice my sword!" Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet also divided the tasks.

The ground trembled increasingly violently, and the beast tide surged forward. The lead of the beast herd plunged into the Formation. The Formation activated, instantly turning those ferocious beasts to ash.

The following ferocious beasts couldn't stop, being slammed layer by layer into the Formation.

The ground suddenly rose with countless Earth Spikes, erupting from beneath the entire beast tide, halting the herd's movement instantly.

The ferocious beasts were either pierced by Earth Spikes or collided with them and forced to stop. Then, countless vines opened wide mouths to begin devouring the beasts.

Long Nv released Dragon Soul in the sky, enveloping the flock of birds. Then the Vermilion Bird and the Nine‑headed Demon Dragon spewed fire, igniting the blaze.

The power of the Dragon Soul was so overwhelming to those ferocious beasts that even the ground‑based ones, upon sensing the dragon might, began to recoil.

"Roar!" At this moment, the Beast King at the rear of the beast tide let out another roar, urging the ferocious beasts to attack again.

Sòng Cháng'ān immediately locked onto the Beast King's position and charged in that direction.
