Chapter 3411

Ye Liuyun released his soul origin and charged into her sea of consciousness, planted a slave mark on her, and searched her soul. He discovered that the movement technique she was cultivating also contained passages explaining the power of heaven and earth.

However, the woman had yet to reach the entry level, so she was unable to unleash the technique’s power.

“Keep her around for practice!”

Ye Liuyun did not waste anything. He immediately drew the woman’s Interspatial Ring over and moved all the resources inside into his spatial world.

This woman was truly wealthy. She had more than a thousand high-grade Taixu divine crystals alone, while the mid-grade divine crystals were piled up like a small mountain. The major sects of the Taixu World were not places ordinary people could afford to enter; their members were all either rich or noble.

After looting all the resources from the Interspatial Ring, Ye Liuyun threw it away and then collected the woman into his spatial world as well. He also put away the woman’s treasured seal.

He did not have many Void Rank Four treasures at the moment, and they were all valuable items, so he naturally would not waste them.

He dealt with the two male disciples in the same manner afterward, collecting their corpses to feed to the ferocious beasts later and wasting nothing at all.

The resources in the storage rings of the two men were not as plentiful as the woman’s, but they were still quite wealthy. Even their weapons were valuable Void Rank Three and Four items, earning Ye Liuyun a considerable windfall.

Meng Yunshan did not touch Ye Liuyun’s spoils. Instead, he collected the corpses of his own men and cleaned up the battlefield.

Just as they finished gathering the resources, an old man’s roar rang out from the sky.

“Who are you? How dare you attack the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Palace?”

Ye Liuyun looked in the direction of the voice, but he still could not see anyone. This meant that the old man’s divine sense had a much greater detection range than his own.

“Brother, you’d better leave quickly. I’ll hold him off for a while. I appreciate your kindness, but don’t throw your life away for people like us. If you ever have the chance to become a powerful expert, just remember to look after martial cultivators like us from the God Realm!”

Meng Yunshan once again urged Ye Liuyun to leave immediately instead of throwing his life away with them. He was already extremely grateful that Ye Liuyun had stepped in to help them.

“My name is Ye Liuyun! Can your orb deal with a Taixu Fifth-Level expert?”

Only then did Ye Liuyun introduce himself. By now, he and Meng Yunshan could be considered comrades who had fought side by side and shared life-and-death experiences.

Seeing that he was unwilling to leave, Meng Yunshan stopped being coy. He had already decided that if they proved unable to defeat their enemy, he would rush in front of Ye Liuyun and block the attack for him, buying him time to escape.

“My name is Meng Yunshan.” He introduced himself as well.

In fact, Ye Liuyun had learned his name long ago by searching the bandits’ souls.

“My treasure is a Void Rank Four item. I’m afraid it won’t be able to block a Taixu Fifth-Level expert!” Meng Yunshan spoke honestly so that Ye Liuyun would not misjudge the situation.

At that moment, Ye Liuyun’s divine sense finally detected an old man at the Taixu Fifth Level, dressed in the robes of a sect elder. He traveled through the void and arrived before them after only a few flashes.

Ye Liuyun swept the old man with his Golden Eyes and discovered that his soul power was not particularly strong. He immediately released his two soul origins, while his clone released another soul origin in coordination with him. Together, they charged into the old man’s sea of consciousness and launched a soul attack before he could act.

Meng Yunshan was shocked when he saw this. Fearing that Ye Liuyun might suffer, he immediately released his own soul as well.

But when his soul charged into the old man’s sea of consciousness, he discovered that one of the old man’s souls had already been hacked to death and was being devoured by a Heaven-Devouring Beast, while the other was being brutally chopped at by two soul blades. Both arms of that soul had already been severed.

Although Meng Yunshan did not know how Ye Liuyun’s soul could change its appearance, he knew he must not pry into Ye Liuyun’s secrets. Seeing that Ye Liuyun had the situation firmly in hand, he immediately withdrew his soul to avoid making Ye Liuyun misunderstand his intentions.

Ye Liuyun immediately searched the old man’s soul as well. In the elder’s sea of consciousness, he found a fist technique that also contained passages explaining the power of heaven and earth.

Only then did he devour the old man’s soul and take all the resources from his Interspatial Ring.

As an elder of such a major sect, the old man did not have many crystals in his Interspatial Ring, but he did possess two Void Rank Six treasures. One was a defensive light barrier, and the other was an offensive short sword.

“Luckily, we didn’t let this old bastard attack first. Otherwise, we might have been killed outright!” Ye Liuyun felt relieved inwardly, then immediately refined the items for protection.

Meng Yunshan also asked Ye Liuyun, “Do they have any other reinforcements?”

“There are more than ten others. They’re all at the Taixu Third Level and are heading this way!”

Ye Liuyun told Meng Yunshan directly, looking at him with a smile.

His divine sense had already detected the more than ten Taixu Third-Level disciples following the elder over.

Meng Yunshan immediately understood that Ye Liuyun intended to finish the job and kill all of them.

He glanced at the two Void Rank Four golden dragon puppets, then at the corpses covering the ground, and made up his mind as well. “Kill them and avenge our brothers! I’ve never dared lay a hand on disciples of one of these major sects before!”

Ye Liuyun smiled as well. He first had his clone put away the two golden dragons so that those people would not see them and become afraid to approach.

Soon, the more than ten disciples surrounded them. Seeing the bloodstains and signs of battle at the scene, one of them asked, “You two, have you seen our academy’s elder? What happened here?”

These sect disciples all spoke in an arrogant, superior tone that was irritating to hear.

Ye Liuyun could not be bothered to waste words with them. His clone immediately released the two golden dragons to attack, while Ye Liuyun released two golden dragons of his own to surround the group and prevent them from escaping.

“I’ll teach you to act so arrogantly!” Meng Yunshan cursed as he threw his treasure orb out again, sending it smashing toward the disciple who had asked the question.

“How dare you attack us? Are you looking to die?” one of the disciples immediately shouted at them.

But Meng Yunshan merely watched from the side with a cold gaze, showing no intention of stopping.

With a loud bang, the disciple who had just spoken was caught off guard by Meng Yunshan’s orb and sent flying. His body crashed into the fellow disciple behind him.

The golden dragons also began attacking the sect disciples with their tails and claws.

Ye Liuyun and his clone both released their soul origins, planted slave marks on the disciples, and collected them into the spatial world to use for practice later.

Only then did the disciples realize that these two bandits truly dared to kill them. They immediately brought out their treasures to defend themselves.

These people really were wealthy. Every one of them possessed a Void Rank Four defensive treasure. However, only one had a treasure capable of defending against soul attacks, and Ye Liuyun planted slave marks on all the others one after another.

In the end, only one disciple remained. Trapped among the four golden dragons, he was continuously clawed, bitten, and lashed by their tails. Unable to withstand so many attacks, he actually fell to his knees and begged for mercy, surrendering to Ye Liuyun and the others.
