Chapter 73: Gu Yuan: Killing in My Ancient Clan, Your Guts Are Truly Great!

Yun Yi was currently sitting leisurely on a chair in the room.

He appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, his soul power was like fine spider silk, silently perceiving every movement in the surroundings.

"Soul Clan?"

Yun Yi muttered inwardly, the corner of his mouth hooking a disdainful cold smile.

"Since you've come, don't think about leaving!"

The current Yun Yi possessed extremely sharp perception, especially toward danger and others' spying.

Immediately, he feigned ignorance, rising calmly, stretching lazily, and walking unhurriedly toward the door.

Yun Yi seemingly casually left the room, strolling toward the outside of the reception area.

"Follow him!"

Three Soul Clan members hiding in the shadows not far away saw Yun Yi exit; a leader-looking figure among them gave a low, urgent order.

All three were shrouded in black robes, only pairs of eyes flickering with sinister light exposed, following sneakily behind.

The three all thought their movements were concealed to the utmost; to avoid detection by Yun Yi, they even deliberately sought various cover.

Little did they know, in Yun Yi's eyes, their every move was like a clown's performance.

Yun Yi walked with an unhurried pace, seemingly strolling at leisure, yet he led the three to an extremely secluded spot.

Once the group followed him there, the corner of Yun Yi's mouth curved slightly upward, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, a transparent light spread rapidly from him like ripples, forming an invisible soul barrier in the blink of an eye that tightly enveloped the three within.

"This... what is this!"

The three instantly panicked.

Feeling the strength of the surrounding soul barrier, their expressions froze instantly, fear spreading rapidly like a tide.

One subconsciously drew the weapon at his waist, slashing wildly at the barrier, but the barrier merely rippled a few times before returning to calm.

Then Yun Yi slowly revealed himself.

His expression was cold; a single cold sweep of his gaze made the three feel as if a sharp ice blade had pierced straight into the depths of their souls, scaring them out of their wits, their legs trembling involuntarily.

"This is the Gu Jie! You dare attack us, the Ancient Clan will certainly not stand by!"

One shouted, putting on a brave face while trembling inside.

"Clamor!"

Yun Yi coldly snorted, his eyes full of disdain and hatred, as if looking at three disgusting ants.

Then a thought moved him, and the space power around him instantly turned violent.

Countless transparent energy ropes appeared out of thin air, binding the three's whole bodies tightly.

The three struggled desperately, yet discovered they were like insects caught in a spider web — the more they struggled, the tighter the bonds, despair gradually appearing on their faces.

"No... don't kill us..."

The three begged for mercy, but Yun Yi simply ignored them.

At this moment, Yun Yi's hands rapidly formed seals; strands of strange light flew from his slender fingertips, merging into the three's bodies one after another.

He directly used a secret technique to refine the three into puppets!

Yun Yi's puppet-refining technique was quite proficient.

As the light merged, the three's originally terrified expressions gradually turned dull, their bodies beginning to emit a strange aura.

The puppets Yun Yi refined could not only perfectly execute Dou Qi, but also behave indistinguishably from ordinary people in word and deed.

Just as Yun Yi successfully completed the refinement, a light flashed inside the soul barrier, and a figure descended out of thin air.

"Junior, your guts are truly great!"

This person's voice was low and resonant, as if carrying endless prestige, reverberating in this space like a great bell.

"Soul Clan people met with mishap in my Ancient Clan; when the time comes they will surely pursue it — you are bringing trouble to my Ancient Clan!"

Yun Yi looked up and saw this person appeared about forty years old.

He wore a simple long robe without any gorgeous decoration, looking just like an ordinary middle-aged man.

But Yun Yi was so sharp he instantly guessed the other's identity.

Ancient Clan Patriarch Gu Yuan.

One of the few top-tier strongmen of the current era.

He sighed inwardly.

It seems he still underestimated the perception of Gu Yuan's Emperor Realm Soul.

Didn't expect to be discovered this quickly.

His expression calm, tone indifferent, he said, "The dignified Ancient Clan Patriarch still cares about the life and death of these three wastes?"

"Even if they die here, what can the Soul Clan do to the Ancient Clan?"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect Yun Yi to dare speak so bluntly, not fearing his identity in the slightest.

This made him somewhat curious instead.

"Who is your master?"

"My master passed away many years ago..."

Yun Yi frowned, unwilling to mention his master too much before an outsider.

"... One suspects the several major incidents that stirred up Zhongzhou recently were all your handiwork."

Gu Yuan's gaze burned as he stared at Yun Yi.

Such a mysterious strongman, yet he had never heard of him before.

It seems this person's methods are not simple at all.

"Not bad!"

Yun Yi, on his side, frankly admitted it.

He slightly raised his head and calmly met Gu Yuan's gaze.

Yun Yi's answer left Gu Yuan slightly stunned, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

The Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan have not gotten along well for many years.

Now seeing Yun Yi so hostile toward the Soul Clan, Gu Yuan knew in his heart: the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Moreover, the talent Yun Yi displayed was enough to shock even Gu Yuan.

At such a young age, he had already reached the realm of Four-Star Dou Sheng, and even possessed the Soul Realm of Celestial Realm Great Perfection!

Yun Yi's future achievements might rival those of the renowned Burning Flame Old Ancestor of old.

He was not inferior to these Dou Di Families at all!

At this moment, such a thought suddenly arose in Gu Yuan's heart: "If only this person were a junior of my Ancient Clan!"

"Junior, these few people, I suppose you have already refined them into Puppets."

"Your purpose is Tian Mu, isn't it……"

Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon the three Soul Clan members who had already become Puppets, then he suddenly changed the subject and spoke.

A flicker of Surprise flashed through Yun Yi's eyes.

He did not expect his thoughts to be exposed by Gu Yuan in a single sentence.

The reason he refined these three into Puppets was to use a unique secret art to hide part of his Soul within them and enter Tian Mu.

The flow of time inside Tian Mu is much faster than outside!

The difference is about sixfold.

That is to say, while only half a year passes outside, three years have already elapsed inside Tian Mu.

Of course, Yun Yi's purpose was not merely to cultivate using this special time flow of Tian Mu.

More importantly, Tian Mu contains a large number of strange Energy Bodies.

In this world, after a person dies, they transform into an Energy Body in a special way.

And inside Tian Mu, there are many such Energy Bodies.

Yun Yi wanted to go in there and kill to his heart's content, then quickly increase his strength!
