Chapter 933: Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell

This time the ambush on Ye Liuyun was carried out with a demonic spear.

From the method alone, Ye Liuyun could tell without guessing that it was that eagle‑eyed man.

Buddha Light Power is exactly the bane of that demonic spear.

So in this ambush the eagle‑eyed man didn't gain much; he only knocked Ye Liuyun off the Dragon Eagle.

Ye Liuyun still didn't dodge, but he suffered no serious injury.

Under Ye Liuyun's command, the Dragon Eagle lunged with a claw and ripped both his arm and the demonic spear away.

"Swoosh!"

The eagle‑eyed man flashed away, immediately fled down the cliff, then activated a shadow‑conceal technique and vanished beneath the cliff wall.

"Two eagle‑eyed men? Looks like he has a duplicate!"

Ye Liuyun didn't delay, seized the eagle‑eyed man's arm together with the demonic spear, then leapt onto the Dragon Eagle's back again and flew away from the cliff top.

But his Divine Sense only detected the Yin Souls he released, circling that duplicate.

Meanwhile, the true form of the eagle‑eyed man who had just attacked him had disappeared without a trace.

"Seems I still have a lot of room to improve this shadow‑conceal technique!"

Ye Liuyun had to admit that the eagle‑eyed man's shadow‑conceal technique was far better cultivated than his own.

"Since we can't find the true form, destroying the duplicate first isn't a bad idea! One down, another to go."

However, the Yin Souls' attack ran into a counter‑strike.

It turned out that within the duplicate's Divine Sense was hidden the main Divine Soul of that Corpse Demon's heart.

Yin Souls of Sixth Layer, plus nearly twenty early‑stage Divine Souls of the same rank, could not extinguish it at once.

"Not enough? Then bring more!" Ye Liuyun shouted. He swung the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner, released more Yin Souls, and sent them charging at the Corpse Demon heart's main Divine Soul.

That Divine Soul, seeing Ye Liuyun controlling the Yin Souls, immediately turned and rushed to kill Ye Liuyun.

In an instant it leapt into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly: "Just afraid you wouldn't come in!"

Ye Liuyun deliberately left a gap, letting no Yin Soul block him, making it easy for it to rush in.

Once inside, the Divine Soul was instantly enveloped by Ten Thousand Gods Command's Golden Light and could not escape, eventually becoming nourishment for Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul.

With so much Divine Soul nourishment, Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power should make great progress.

He immediately swung the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner again, gathering the remaining Yin Souls.

"That eagle‑eyed man is truly formidable—he managed to hide the Corpse Demon heart's main Divine Soul inside his duplicate. By destroying the duplicate I've essentially saved his life!"

Ye Liuyun realized the eagle‑eyed man's scheming was extremely clever.

The last time he pretended to die, letting Ye Liuyun eliminate the Divine Soul of an Alien Evil Artifact.

This time he performed a Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell, sacrificing a duplicate and using Ye Liuyun's help to destroy the Corpse Demon heart's main Divine Soul, thereby avoiding the possibility of his Divine Soul being controlled.

Ye Liuyun boasted that none of his peers possessed such a plot.

"This person is definitely not ordinary; I should be able to track him down when I return!"

Ye Liuyun resolved in his heart to find that eagle‑eyed man after returning.

He thought a mastermind like the eagle‑eyed man would be easy to locate.

Meanwhile, the duplicate's Divine Soul had already been pulled into the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner by those high‑rank Yin Souls.

The duplicate's Physical Body also fell toward the bottom of the cliff.

Ye Liuyun's eyes flashed; he quickly used his Golden Pupil to perform Void Translocation, moving the duplicate's Physical Body into his Storage Ring.

Without any hesitation, he used Golden Crow Holy Fire to burn it completely to ash.

He feared the eagle‑eyed man might still be watching from the shadows, snatch the body back, then re‑enter his Divine Sense to continue cultivating the duplicate.

"Kill and return!"

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun recalled the Yin Souls into the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner, led the beasts upward, and scaled the cliff again to go back and slay the Seventh Prince and his followers.

But when they reached the cliff, they found the Seventh Prince had already descended the mountain on the other side with his men.

"Fast runner! Throw stones!"

Ye Liuyun ordered several beasts to hurl stones down, indiscriminately crushing anyone they hit.

He commanded the Skeleton Puppet to sweep the battlefield clean.

The Seventh Prince was shrewd; he left the battlefield untouched and withdrew immediately.

Otherwise, they could have caught up with Ye Liuyun's returning strike.

The beasts also smashed a few disciples with giant rocks.

Ye Liuyun heard several cries of people falling off the cliff.

Yet he was too lazy now to chase them down.

After the battlefield was cleared, he rode the Dragon Eagle, gathered the remaining beasts, and headed straight for the cliff base to search for Yuan Datou's corpse.

He felt deep remorse; he hadn't expected that a bout with Yuan Datou's brother would cause Yuan Datou to die here.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely avenge you!"

Ye Liuyun silently swore to settle scores with the Seventh Prince's party.

In his heart, he still hoped that Yuan Datou had fallen into the river rather than being crushed.

His Divine Sense swept the area and, unsurprisingly, found no corpse of Yuan Datou, sparking a glimmer of hope.

At that moment, the Dragon Eagle suddenly signaled to Ye Liuyun that a kindred presence was nearby.

"Is that Ling Shuang?"

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered his Dragon Eagle to call the companion over.

Soon enough, Ye Liuyun indeed saw Ling Shuang and her Dragon Eagle, and on the dragon's back lay Yuan Datou.

"Great!" Ye Liuyun shouted.

The appearance of Yuan Datou made him overjoyed.

"I was still worried about you guys!"

After Ling Shuang's Dragon Eagle landed, Ye Liuyun immediately went up to meet it.

Yuan Datou fell badly, but he had already taken a Healing Pill and was recovering.

"Haha! I'm blessed with great fortune! I still have to thank you!" Yuan Datou burst out laughing with a big grin.

Ling Shuang also covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What? Thank me?" Ye Liuyun was puzzled.

"When I fell, I just happened to land on a Demon Wolf's body! That Demon Wolf is the one you previously knocked down."

Yuan Datou pointed at a Demon Wolf in the distance.

Only then did Ye Liuyun notice that the Demon Wolf's abdomen had indeed been blown apart.

Such a coincidence—he had never even thought of that possibility before!

"Haha, you kid, you really have great luck!" After understanding, Ye Liuyun also laughed along.

"Yeah!" Ling Shuang also added: "I originally thought he would get into trouble. I didn't expect that when I came down to look for him, he was already calling me there!"

"Glad you're okay! Otherwise I'd feel terrible!" Ye Liuyun also began to apologize, saying he shouldn't have left the two of them alone outside.

He still underestimated the greed of those disciples. He never expected that, after learning of his strength, they would dare to attack.

"How could I blame you! This is also a trial for us!" Yuan Datou said indifferently.
