Chapter 720: Traces of the Foreign Tribe

After that, Ye Liuyun also didn't put the two of them back into the Storage Ring.

The two of them now, whether in Physical Body, cultivation realm, or bloodline, are not much inferior to Ye Liuyun. Their Divine Sense is somewhat weaker, but still far stronger than ordinary Martial Cultivators.

So Ye Liuyun can finally leave them outside with peace of mind, letting them face some risky trials.

"Finally we don't have to stay inside anymore!" Lei Ming cheered, hugging Ye Liuyun as they walked outward.

On the way back, they passed the seal outside the Dragon Pool again.

However this time they didn't absorb the dragon qi within the seal, lest the seal's power weaken and allow others to enter.

"Let this place become a tranquil land, so no one will come to damage the Dragon Clan's base again."

Lei Ming and Long Nv naturally had no objection to Ye Liuyun's suggestion.

The three of them rushed out of the Dragon Pool together, mounted the crocodile, and returned to the shore.

The octopus and electric eel both obediently hid at the bottom this time, daring not to surface, fearing that if Ye Liuyun became displeased, he would kill them when leaving.

After Ye Liuyun and the others reached the shore, they found no one at the lakeside.

He rose into the air, activated his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense, yet still did not detect any Lingxiao Sect disciples.

"Huh, where did everyone go?"

While he was puzzled, he sensed a fluctuation of True Essence from afar.

"Could it be a fight?"

He immediately led Lei Ming and Long Nv toward that direction.

From a distance, Ye Liuyun saw Mo Yang, the top of the Tianjiao Ranking, leading most Lingxiao Sect disciples in an assault on a Grand Hall.

That Grand Hall, situated among a cluster of buildings, was evidently of great importance at the time.

They were bombarding the Grand Hall's doors, as if something treasure lay inside.

The Grand Hall radiated intense heat that Ye Liuyun felt from afar.

"Artifact Hall?"

Ye Liuyun felt the Grand Hall's layout resembled that of his family's artifact hall.

"But it emits heat inside. Could someone be keeping the artifact hall running?"

Puzzled, Ye Liuyun brought Lei Ming and Long Nv closer.

Mo Yang stopped when he saw them.

Before entering, he hadn't seen Lei Ming and Long Nv, felt curious but didn't ask further.

He greeted Ye Liuyun directly: "We found this is an artifact hall, but the furnace is still lit; we don't know what's inside. Come help, let's open the hall doors first."

Curious about what lay inside, Ye Liuyun also joined, together bombarding the Grand Hall's doors.

The doors already had a crack from their earlier strikes; after Ye Liuyun joined, it wasn't long before he blasted the doors even wider.

Then the doors opened automatically.

Yet the people outside all went berserk.

Inside was indeed an artifact hall, housing three divine artifacts. The floor was littered with discarded junk and weapon fragments.

The flame in the furnace kept burning.

Ye Liuyun didn't rush in; his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense surveyed the interior.

Some impatient people already rushed toward the three artifacts placed deepest inside.

Mo Yang also wasn't hasty, evidently probing the interior.

The three artifacts were a long sword, an axe, and a lamp. They appeared intact, emitting a terrifying artifact aura, very alluring.

However, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense discovered that the three artifacts not only had odd shapes, but each also possessed an artifact spirit.

What puzzled him more was that those artifact spirits were all Alien Evil Artifacts.

"Artifacts of the Foreign Tribe? Could this artifact hall have once been seized by Alien Evil Artifacts?"

Ye Liuyun felt a bit perplexed.

This was also his first trace of Alien Evil Artifacts after entering the Secret Realm.

Mo Yang's Divine Sense also seemed to notice the oddities of the three artifacts, causing him to frown.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to look at the furnace.

"So it's a strand of the Earth Core True Flame's source; no wonder it hasn't gone out for so long. That's actually a good thing."

With that thought, Ye Liuyun also prepared to walk toward the furnace to absorb the flame.

At this moment, the few who had rushed in already began fighting, snatching the artifacts from each other.

The disciple who first seized the long sword artifact, before he could celebrate, suddenly gave a strange grin and began a murderous rampage with the sword.

"Bad! He's being controlled by an Alien Evil Artifact!"

Mo Yang noticed the anomaly and immediately warned the others.

But it was too late. The others, before they could get an artifact, were all slashed to death by the controlled disciple.

Then he, still wielding the long sword, kept attacking others.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil stared at the disciple's Sea of Consciousness, discovering that in that brief instant his Soul was completely erased by the artifact's spirit.

"Kill him! His Soul has already been erased by the artifact's spirit!"

Ye Liuyun warned Mo Yang.

Mo Yang was already about to act. If he didn't move, that person would kill more disciples.

This place belonged to the highest realm among them, so he felt responsible. He also believed only he could deal with the artifact‑wielder.

Ye Liuyun stayed still, watching Mo Yang make his move.

Mo Yang's spatial power, also not weak, appeared sequentially around that person's body at different spots, each delivering a punch that left him unable to watch both front and back.

That person's Soul, just newly controlled, evidently hadn't been fully mastered by the artifact spirit, so his body was not agile.

He only used a divine artifact to block a punch, and was directly blown away, his long sword knocked from his hand.

Just at the moment he died, that artifact spirit actually flew out from his Sea of Consciousness, straight toward Mo Yang.

Ye Liuyun, quick-handed and sharp-eyed, flung out the Mourning Bell, enveloping the artifact spirit within it, then with a casual inhale grabbed the long sword and stored it in his Storage Ring.

Mo Yang saw the artifact spirit lunging at him, and had no better countermeasure.

He had already prepared to clash head-on with his artifact spirit, but unexpectedly was intercepted by Ye Liuyun.

"This artifact spirit isn't strong, but its contaminating power is extremely strong. You'll be instantly contaminated, then controlled by him." Ye Liuyun said lightly.

Ye Liuyun actually wasn't especially trying to save him. It's just that Mo Yang himself is strong; after obtaining the divine artifact, it would be hard to kill him.

Mo Yang reflected a moment, and also felt that the artifact spirit actually carried a very evil aura. Although it hadn't yet rushed into his Sea of Consciousness, he already felt the terror of that aura.

So he also gratefully clasped his fists toward Ye Liuyun.

"Thanks, that divine artifact long sword should belong to you!"

Ye Liuyun nodded in response, and didn't say much more.

Hearing Mo Yang acknowledge that the long sword divine artifact should belong to Ye Liuyun, others naturally no longer had designs, and all turned their gazes to the other two divine artifacts.
