Chapter 3412

“You usually act so high and mighty, but now you’ve turned into such a coward?” Meng Yunshan said disdainfully.

However, with Ye Liuyun there, he did not kill the disciple. Instead, he waited for Ye Liuyun to deal with him.

Ye Liuyun also despised such a spineless person and did not call off golden dragon’s attack. Only after the disciple’s body had been whipped apart into chunks of flesh did he recall golden dragon.

“It’s about time. I have to go!”

After collecting the spoils, Ye Liuyun bade Meng Yunshan farewell as well. It was time for him to return to Yunxiao City.

Meng Yunshan did not try to keep Ye Liuyun either. He cupped his hands and said, “I don’t know whether we’ll ever have the chance to meet again. With these sect disciples dying here, their sects probably won’t let this go. I have to leave here immediately too!”

“Then where are you going?” Ye Liuyun asked casually.

“I’m going to explore that unclaimed planet I told you about. It’ll be great if I can find an opportunity there; if not, I’ll just die there! Either way, these sects won’t let me off!” Meng Yunshan said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then said to Meng Yunshan, “Why don’t you follow me from now on? If you trust me, enter my spatial world.

“There are quite a few people without identities in my spatial world. We can conquer the world together. I’ll be going to that planet you mentioned before long as well. We can explore it together then. How about it?”

Meng Yunshan thought it over and agreed.

“What’s there to worry about? You saved my life. If you hadn’t stepped in today, I’d be dead for sure!”

He felt that he was alone and had nothing to his name, while Ye Liuyun had nothing to gain from him. At worst, he would simply work for Ye Liuyun. Either way, he would die eventually.

If he stayed here, the Qianling Sect definitely would not spare him. Going to that uninhabited planet would also be courting death; with his strength, he certainly would not make it back.

Thus, Ye Liuyun had him sign an equal contract with him and promise not to reveal any secrets before taking him into his clone’s spatial world.

He then returned to his clone’s spatial world as well, using the Qianling Sect disciples he had just captured for practice. Along the way, he began putting the cultivation techniques he had obtained through soul searching into practice, accelerating his cultivation of the power of heaven and earth.

With guidance from these Qianling Sect disciples, his progress was much faster than before.

Only shortly before entering the city did Ye Liuyun emerge from his clone’s spatial world again. He returned to his original appearance, put on his military uniform, recalled his clone into his spatial world, and returned to the military camp.

As soon as Ye Liuyun returned, he went to greet Xiao Han first so that he would not worry.

“You’re back so soon?” Xiao Han was quite surprised to see Ye Liuyun return.

“There’s no harm in taking part in the competition first and tempering myself afterward!” Ye Liuyun replied.

“You’re considerate!” Xiao Han immediately understood that Ye Liuyun was thinking of him.

“I’ll go back and cultivate first. I still have one night, so I can improve a little more!” Ye Liuyun immediately returned to his tent and went back into his clone’s spatial world to continue practicing against the prisoners.

The female Qianling Sect disciple Ye Liuyun had captured was named Zhao Yupei, and she was even a descendant of a marquis.

However, Ye Liuyun did not care about that at all. When he used her for practice, he showed no mercy, treating everyone equally.

These disciples of the major sects had considerable knowledge. In addition, Ye Liuyun had integrated their various cultivation techniques. After cultivating at an accelerated pace for five days in his clone’s spatial world, he finally managed to imbue the power of heaven and earth with a hint of great momentum.

Zhao Yupei and the other Qianling Sect disciples had witnessed Ye Liuyun raise the power of heaven and earth to their level in such a short time, and every one of them was astonished.

Although they were extremely unwilling to serve as Ye Liuyun’s sparring partners, they at least all believed that Ye Liuyun’s cultivation talent was far superior to theirs.

Ye Liuyun had also used soul searching to obtain all of their qi-refining techniques and distributed them among the people around him and the soldiers of the Death Legion. As disciples of major clans, they practiced foundational techniques of an extremely high level, considerably better than the Taixu Qi Refining Art.

Ye Liuyun felt these things were more valuable than Taixu Divine Crystals. The demonic beasts and the women were all busy and delighted—some began changing their cultivation techniques, while others practiced the power of heaven and earth.

Some of them also began using Taixu Divine Crystals for cultivation. They were equally effective for Ye Ling, who could absorb and produce Taixu Divine Crystals as well. Ye Liuyun gave Ye Ling the finest high-grade Taixu Divine Crystals to use first, ensuring that he would not lack divine crystals in the future.

After Meng Yunshan was taken into his clone’s spatial world, he was utterly shocked as well. He had never expected the clone’s spatial world to be so vast.

Ye Liuyun openly explained his circumstances to Meng Yunshan and even took him to see the soldiers who were cultivating. Meng Yunshan was so excited that he acknowledged Ye Liuyun as his boss on the spot and asked to join the Death Legion.

Ye Liuyun did not refuse. He merely told Meng Yunshan that he did not need to join the Death Legion for the time being, and that he could still go out and help whenever necessary.

It was not until early the next morning that Ye Liuyun finished cultivating and emerged from his clone’s spatial world.

“How much has your strength improved? Our whole team is counting on you and Chen Mo!” Liao Yaotian, Chen Mo, and the others immediately came over to ask him.

For them, ten days truly was not enough to improve very much. They had already used all the Taixu Divine Crystals they had exchanged for their recent military achievements, but their strength still had not changed significantly.

“I’m doing all right!” Ye Liuyun replied modestly, then encouraged the others. “Just do your best. There’s no need to take winning or losing too seriously!”

By then, the military camp had also become lively. The soldiers who were not participating in the competition all hurried toward the martial arena to watch. Soldiers from the other teams came along to join in the excitement as well.

“Let’s go. It’s not like we can avoid it anyway!” Liao Yaotian gritted his teeth and led everyone toward the martial arena.

After they arrived, they did not have to wait long before Xiao Han and the ten junior commanders arrived with a squad of soldiers.

Ye Liuyun glanced over the cultivation realms of that squad. They were all at the first level. However, three of the soldiers were clearly at the peak of the first Taixu level. Although the other soldiers were not as highly cultivated as those three, none of them was weak.

“Brother Tian, it looks like you’re going to be at a disadvantage today!” Ye Liuyun transmitted to Liao Yaotian, telling him about the other side’s strength.

“What? I can’t beat even one of them? What should we do?” Liao Yaotian began to panic. In this situation, even if they knew they would be beaten, they could not possibly admit defeat.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then offered him some advice. “I suggest you use a soul attack to win one match. I’ll find you someone with weak soul power! Then use this treasure to win another match. That’ll be enough!”

As Ye Liuyun spoke, he handed Liao Yaotian a Interspatial Ring. Inside was a fourth-grade Void-tier longsword he had seized from a Qianling Sect disciple.

“All right! You actually have a treasure like this! I’ll use it for now. Consider it borrowed—I’ll return it to you later!” Liao Yaotian was too pressed for time to stand on ceremony with Ye Liuyun.
