Chapter 907: A Little Stimulation

"Lord Xiao, this kid is unusual! The places he goes to seem to be Secret Realms that contain treasures and resources!"

At that moment, a guard beside Xiao Tianqing noticed a clue and whispered to Xiao Tianqing.

Xiao Tianqing heard this, nodded, and said, "Perhaps that kid possesses some special treasure that can locate resources and evade our tracking."

At this point, he also realized that catching Ye Liuyun was probably unrealistic.

So many people can't keep up. It shows that Ye Liuyun must have discovered them and has the skill to avoid them.

"Let's ignore him for now. If we encounter resources, we can also take some on the side."

He also thought they could take some resources; otherwise, all those subordinates of his would have died in vain.

Since they can't find the person, they might as well seize the opportunity to gather resources.

Anyway, this Secret Realm has been sealed, and Ye Liuyun can't escape.

After they obtain the resources, if they still can't find Ye Liuyun, they can return to the Royal Mansion to call for troops and send more manpower.

Xiao Tianqing has already made up his mind; even if more people are sent, he won't come.

He thinks Ye Liuyun is somewhat hard to deal with, so now he intends to push this task onto someone else.

Xiao Tianqing and his many forces aren't bothered even when encountering some beasts.

They also believe the mountain summit should have some special resources, which is why they keep charging upward.

Ye Liuyun isn't in a hurry, trailing far behind them, letting them blaze the trail.

He only occasionally waves the Soul Banner, absorbing the souls of beasts and the fallen guards.

He also uses his Golden Pupil to transfer those slain beasts into his Storage Ring, making it impossible for Xiao Tianqing and his men to retrieve the beasts' corpses.

Xiao Tianqing and the others are all astonished. No one expected anyone to wield spatial power to relocate objects; they even thought the mountain itself was strange.

Just as Xiao Tianqing and his group were fighting, a beast roar suddenly echoed from the summit, and the beasts on the mid‑mountain rushed toward them.

Xiao Tianqing and his men immediately felt the pressure surge, and the beasts' roar on the mountain was deafening, clearly of Divine Rank level.

"Retreat!"

Xiao Tianqing doesn't want to force it and wants to withdraw from here immediately.

But the beasts refuse to let them go, encircling them and continuously attacking. People around Xiao Tianqing keep falling.

Ye Liuyun's spatial Golden Pupil, seeing Xiao Tianqing's group retreating, immediately launches a Spiritual Soul Attack, cutting down the forward guards one by one.

"Divine Rank Spiritual Soul Attack!" a guard shouted, having felt Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power, warning the others.

Xiao Tianqing is now in a bind: forward lie Divine Rank beasts on the summit, backward lie Divine Rank Spiritual Soul Attacks.

Ye Liuyun's attack speed is extremely fast; in one or two breaths he can kill a guard, and when they stop, his attack ceases instantly.

"These Divine Rank souls are too strong! Charge up the mountain!"

Xiao Tianqing immediately orders everyone to halt, then turns back to charge up the mountain.

Among all attacks, Spiritual Soul Attacks are the hardest to defend against. They would rather fight the opponent head‑on than face an unseen Spiritual Soul Attack.

Xiao Tianqing's realm is already the Ninth Tier of the Zao Hua Realm, and he wields a Divine Rank battle halberd; the beasts of the Zao Hua Realm surrounding him are no match for him.

He charges at the front, shielding the remaining twenty‑plus men behind him. The guards behind him, those of higher realms, stand at the outermost line, jointly resisting the beasts' onslaught.

In an instant, they surged another few hundred zhang up the mountain.

The Divine Rank beasts on the summit roared again. Hearing the roar, the beasts launched a fierce attack on them.

Several late‑stage Zao Hua Realm beasts teamed up to assault Xiao Tianqing, holding them in place.

"Looks like they need a bit of stimulation!"

Seeing Xiao Tianqing's group halt, Ye Liuyun decides to follow the summit's Divine Rank beasts and give them a little stimulus.

He reactivates his Golden Pupil and eliminates two of the weaker members in Xiao Tianqing's team.

Those weaker individuals were originally protected at the center of the formation; Ye Liuyun killing them actually lightens Xiao Tianqing's burden.

"Lord Xiao, that Spiritual Soul Attack has started again, seems to be urging us to charge upward!"

Xiao Tianqing's group all sensed Ye Liuyun's Soul fluctuations and understood his intent.

"Damned it! Charge upward with me!" Xiao Tianqing cursed, but was helpless; at this point they can only keep moving forward.

He tightens his grip, immediately drives the beasts back, and moves forward again.

The few originally protected members of the team, under the threat of death, no longer dare stay in the middle; they all rush out, charging up the mountain.

"Exactly! That's the momentum!" Ye Liuyun chuckles quietly from behind.

"What did you do to them?" Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou, whose Divine Sense couldn't reach that far, could only feel the True Essence ripples ahead, knowing a battle was underway.

Seeing the smile at Ye Liuyun's mouth corner, they knew he must have tampered with the people ahead and couldn't help but ask.

"I'll give them a little push, add some fire!" Ye Liuyun said with a grin, explaining the situation ahead.

Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou also burst into laughter.

However, Yuan Datou felt a bit regretful. "Their weapons have all been broken! We have not a single beast here!"

"No need to rush; there are still plenty of beasts ahead, they can't kill them all. Just prepare for battle!" Ye Liuyun comforted Yuan Datou and continued to monitor the front.

Under Ye Liuyun's lethal threat, Xiao Tianqing's group actually fought through the mid‑mountain and entered the summit's mist.

Only a dozen or so survived, all guards of at least mid‑stage Zao Hua Realm.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and Golden Pupil were blocked by the mist, completely losing their trace.

"It seems this mist is formed by a Formation that shields Divine Sense!"

Ye Liuyun also draws his mountain‑splitting battle sword, informing Yuan Datou and Ling Shuang that it's their turn to fight.

The mid‑mountain beasts dared not enter the mist zone. After Xiao Tianqing's group entered, the beasts spotted Ye Liuyun's party and immediately turned to charge at them.

The beasts surged downwards at great speed.

Ye Liuyun raised his hand, slashing a blade that erected a wall of fire before the few men.

With the fire wall, the beasts' downward charge was briefly halted; otherwise, the sheer impact of their size would have been unstoppable.

Immediately, he again released the ghost butterflies and ice demon tigers, letting them deal with the fierce beasts of the mid-late Creation stage.
