Chapter 39: Wipe Out the Nest

Ye Liuyun prepared some body-refining medicinal liquid for himself, also took a Spirit-Congealing Pill, and got into the bathtub to soak.

That night his injuries had already mostly healed.

Feeling bored with nothing to do, he then began to concoct pills, taking out all the medicinal ingredients Liang Xue had sent last time, and started to make pills one by one.

He can now refine twenty to thirty pills per furnace. Not only is the quantity large, the quality is also high. Six or seven out of ten of the pills he refines are low-grade Mysterious Tier.

He practiced until dawn. He stored away the Mysterious Tier pills, and also gathered together the Yellow Tier pills he intended to sell.

Then he again took a Spirit-Congealing Pill and started a medicinal bath.

After two hours, his injuries were completely healed.

Coincidentally, Ye Tianci and Ye Mingzhen came together to check on his injuries.

At the critical moment, Ye Liuyun sacrificed himself to cover their retreat; they felt grateful, so they came to see his injuries.

Ye Liuyun immediately told them his revenge plan.

These two people usually stay in the clan to cultivate, rarely getting a chance to gain experience. Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's plan, they immediately in unison asked to join.

So Ye Liuyun told them to go prepare and meet him here before dark tomorrow.

Ye Liuyun also didn't waste the following time, taking a Consolidating Origin Pill and beginning cultivation.

After his battle with Mo Tianheng, his conception improved greatly, and his realm became unusually stable.

Not long after, his realm naturally broke through to Body Refining Eighth Level.

Because he had suppressed too much before, he was not surprised by this realm increase.

After stabilizing his realm for a while, he then practiced blades and fists with the puppet, consolidating the newly grasped blade intent and fist intent.

The more he practiced, the more he found Mo Tianheng truly extraordinary. How did he grasp this kind of conception?

Ye Liuyun had never discovered this kind of conception in any of the Ye Clan elders.

Mo Tianheng is merely a disciple of the Mo Clan. Could it be that he often goes out to gain experience and encountered some opportunity?

It seems going out often is still beneficial. Isn't it just that I went out and obtained lightning power and medicinal ingredients!

After dawn, he ate his fill, then returned to cultivate his soul and forge that soul sword.

This time, he tried to use the lightning power within his body to temper that soul sword.

He felt that since blade intent and fist intent are interconnected, lightning power should also be interconnected.

Sure enough, his attempt succeeded; the soul sword also took on a trace of lightning power, increasing its lethality against the soul.

The process was just a bit painful. Using lightning power to temper the soul sword is equivalent to repeatedly attacking his own soul with lightning power; each lightning strike makes his soul tremble incessantly.

After only cultivating for an hour, he had to stop and rest. With the help of the Spirit-Congealing Pill, he took the whole afternoon to recover.

Before dark, Liang Xue rushed over; they ate grilled meat while waiting for Ye Tianci and the others.

Not long after, Ye Tianci and Ye Mingzhen arrived, also bringing six people.

It turned out that when Ye Tianci and Ye Mingzhen went back to prepare, they let the slip, and these people found out and also wanted to join. Even Ye Yong followed over, begging Ye Liuyun to take him along.

Ye Liuyun finally agreed as well. However, he required them to obey orders; otherwise he would never bring them again.

Everyone naturally had no objections. They now admired Ye Liuyun to the point of being completely convinced.

Seeing that the sky was still early, Ye Liuyun took out more ferocious beast meat, grilled it for everyone, making this group not want to leave!

After the sky turned completely dark, they all changed into black clothes, sneaked out of the Ye Clan, left the city, and rushed toward the lair of the Azure Wolf Mercenary Group.

At midnight ten, they reached the predetermined position; Ye Liuyun went first to scout the path, then returned to assign tasks to everyone and agreed upon the signal for action.

The mercenaries and the mine guards were mostly asleep. The few sentries outside had low realms. All of them were locked onto by Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense Lock, then struck in the throat with an arrow and killed silently, without making a sound.

Ye Liuyun and his group quickly reached the guards' garrison; he assigned Liang Xue to eliminate the guard leader, others to eliminate the guards, for a quick battle. He himself went first to the mouth of the cave where the mercenaries lived, to intercept incoming reinforcements.

Liang Xue knew he had the Black Python, so she wasn't worried. She directly led people to charge into the guards' garrison, first taking out the guard leader, then handing the rest over to the Ye Clan disciples, and rushed to reinforce Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun arrived at the mouth of the cave where the mercenaries lived, he directly released the Black Python, and together they each took out two mercenary sentries at the cave mouth, then he and the Black Python ambushed outside the cave mouth to block the mercenaries coming out.

Soon, shouts of killing rose up. The mercenaries inside the cave were startled; a squad of mercenaries, more than ten people, ran out to check the situation. As soon as they exited the cave mouth, over half were smashed to death by the Black Python's tail; the remaining few were also quickly killed by the Black Python and Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun's blade intent was unleashed, even a mercenary at True Origin Triple could not block his single strike.

As soon as the battle ended, the Black Python immediately packed up the corpses as its reserve rations.

The rear mercenaries had not yet come out when Liang Xue rushed over and, together with Ye Liuyun, guarded the perimeter of the cave mouth.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also extended into the cave to observe the mercenaries' situation.

The mercenaries inside the cave waited a while; seeing that none of the people sent out had returned, they also guessed they might have fallen into an ambush.

Thus the mercenary leader gathered everyone and charged outward together.

The first few mercenaries to rush out were all slapped into minced meat by the Black Python's tail.

The following mercenaries immediately scattered, rushing out one by one, all being picked off one by one by Liang Xue and Ye Liuyun outside.

Finally, the mercenaries charged out together two more times, and were all struck by the Black Python.

The Black Python and Ye Liuyun's souls are interconnected, so the timing of the python's tail strikes is mastered quite accurately.

The remaining seven or eight mercenaries, including the mercenary leader, no longer dared to come out, all shrinking back into the cave to hide.

Ye Liuyun and his group also switched from defense to offense. However, the cave's interior space is small, so the Black Python needs to shrink a bit to enter.

Ye Liuyun had the Black Python first shrink and coil around his arm, to adapt flexibly according to the situation later.

After entering the cave, Ye Liuyun activated the Illusion Pupil, simultaneously checking whether the mercenaries had set up any mechanisms while cautiously advancing.

As a result, they proceeded very smoothly; perhaps the mercenaries lacked experts in mechanisms or formations.

Encountering a few relatively low-level traps, Ye Liuyun easily disposed of them.

The mercenary leader and the remaining few people hid in a hall deep inside the cave. The entire cave has only this one exit that Ye Liuyun and his group came through.

Before reaching the final hall, Ye Liuyun released the Black Python. The Black Python grew a bit larger, and before entering the hall, it suddenly spewed several mouthfuls of black fog, enveloping the entire hall.

"What is this black fog?" Liang Xue asked curiously.

"It's the Black Python's innate divine ability! It's poisonous gas!" Ye Liuyun laughed: "Using it in such an enclosed space works best. It saves us from having to fight them to the death!"

After a short while, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense discovered that the people inside had all been poisoned, including that mercenary leader.

After they collapsed, the Black Python inhaled forcefully, drawing all the poisonous gas back in. Then it rushed into the cave, swallowing all the poisoned corpses into its belly.

After that, there was nothing more for the Black Python to do. Ye Liuyun stored the Black Python in his Storage Ring, letting it go digest its meal.
