Chapter 1809: Chapter 1809 Control the Yin Souls
Ye Liuyun suddenly unleashed a palm strike, directing it through the air towards the formation where the skeleton resided.
He knew the skeleton harbored ill intentions and found its incessant chatter annoying.
Ye Liuyun’s strike seemed to hit an invisible energy barrier, followed by a loud boom.
Several more vicious skeletal shadows appeared shortly after and began attacking the skeleton within the formation where it was.
"D*mn it, how dare you attack me!" the skeleton cursed at Ye Liuyun while fending off the attacks with a dagger.
"If you make another sound, I’ll use greater power to smash your formation. Let’s see which one of us can withstand it!" Ye Liuyun threatened indifferently.
As expected, the skeleton didn’t dare utter another word.
However, the dagger in its hand seemed effective against those skeletal shadows, and it quickly disposed of them before sitting down again, making it hard to tell if it was dead or alive.
Ye Liuyun glanced at the dagger but had no intention of taking it.
"Is what the skeleton said true, scoundrel?" Xiao Yunfang asked Ye Liuyun curiously.
"It’s probably true. There are indeed many treasures and resources here, as well as plenty of dangers. But its talk of cooperation was merely a ploy to trick us into freeing it!" Ye Liuyun replied.
He had already discovered several treasures and resources here multiple times. However, they were all protected by formidable formations, making him wary of taking them.
He figured attempting to take them would get him killed or trapped in a formation that ensnared the skeleton.
"How do you know? Didn’t it promise to sign a Divine Soul contract with you?" Xiao Yunfang countered.
"If it had that ability, it would have freed itself long ago. Why wait for us?" Ye Liuyun scoffed. "Even if there are treasures, if I can’t obtain them, how could it?"
A layer of mist gradually rose in the forest as Ye Liuyun’s words fell.
"Yin energy?" Ye Liuyun sensed the presence of Yin-souls. He realized that Yin-souls might appear here at night.
He then remembered to contact Asura and Zhuge Feiyu but realized he couldn’t reach them in the God Realm.
However, he wasn’t overly worried. At worst, he would use the Black Tower to make a trip and borrow the Hundred Refinements Soul Flag.
He quickly took out a defensive formation disk and enveloped all three of them within its protection.
"Haha, it’s useless! You won’t survive the night! You’d better reconsider cooperating with me!" The skeleton started to speak as Ye Liuyun set up defenses.
Ye Liuyun drew the Demon Slayer blade and swung it through the air towards the skeleton.
The blade strike passed through his defensive formation and hit the skeleton’s formation, causing four more skeletal phantoms to appear and attack the skeleton.
"I..." The skeleton started to curse Ye Liuyun but immediately shut its mouth, fearing more strikes from Ye Liuyun.
"Keep nagging, and I’ll make sure you suffer!" Ye Liuyun threatened.
Holding back its anger, the skeleton fought against the phantoms.
This time, it sustained considerable injuries, with several bones broken by the skeletal shadows.
Desperately, it managed to destroy the shadows. It sat on the ground to heal, not daring to make a sound.
The mist in the forest grew thicker, and the sky turned completely dark.
Soon, Ye Liuyun could only see the skeleton using his Golden Phantom Eyes.
He also noticed many Yin-souls emerging from the ground, wandering around and gradually gathering together.
Soon, more and more Yin-souls began to approach them.
But upon sensing Ye Liuyun’s aura, they refrained from attacking.
Ye Liuyun was the Lord of the Underworld, and his aura recognized by the Underworld still existed, even though they weren’t there now.
The Yin-souls wouldn’t dare attack the Lord of the Underworld.
Instead, they bowed to Ye Liuyun as they approached.
Ye Liuyun guessed it was likely due to his identity.
The previously tense Xiao Yunfang and another martial practitioner were puzzled.
"He can control Yin souls?"
Ye Liuyun didn’t explain it to them. He released his Divine Soul to search the Yin-souls’ memories, trying to understand why they lingered in this forest.
"What? There’s a place for reincarnation in Sinless City?" Ye Liuyun was shocked by the information he found.
These Yin-souls had gathered from near the border battlefield.
They were drawn by an innate sense that there was a place of reincarnation here, something the living couldn’t perceive.
However, the Yin-souls would be trapped for a month upon arrival. They would become part of the formation and attack any martial practitioners who entered.
Therefore, the Yin-souls here knew little about the situation inside Sinless City.
Ye Liuyun didn’t waste the opportunity. He immediately ordered the Yin-souls to search for treasures. Some formations affected them, others didn’t, making it much easier for Ye Liuyun to retrieve treasures and resources.
Soon, some Yin-souls turned towards the skeleton.
Its formation was one they could enter.
"Go, bring me its dagger and Interspatial Ring," Ye Liuyun ordered.
The skeleton couldn’t see Ye Liuyun but could hear his voice.
"Who are you talking to? Are you trying to take my dagger?" it asked, unable to hold back.
Ye Liuyun raised his hand and slashed a few more times, summoning several skeletal phantoms to attack the skeleton.
As the skeleton got injured, the Yin-souls rushed in, quickly retrieving the dagger and Interspatial Ring and placing them before Ye Liuyun’s formation.
Other Yin-souls scattered to collect treasures and bring them back to Ye Liuyun.
About two hours later, the Yin-souls returned. Without them needing to speak, Ye Liuyun’s soul search revealed that their time was up, and they would encounter the forest’s demons if they didn’t return now.
So Ye Liuyun let them go and collected the treasures they had gathered.
Ye Liuyun kept the black dagger for his clone.
The dagger was a sixth-tier Life Treasure. It was completely black and made of a special mineral that made it exceptionally sharp and capable of annihilating an opponent’s Divine Soul, a perfect weapon for assassination.
The other resources were precious, too. Ye Liuyun was pleased to have obtained so many treasures without much effort.
Xiao Yunfang and the martial practitioner were still curious and asked Ye Liuyun how he did it.
"Of course, I conquered the Yin-souls with my charisma!" Ye Liuyun replied, making up a story.
"Yeah right! A scoundrel like you, having charisma!" Xiao Yunfang didn’t believe him.
The martial practitioner didn’t believe it either, but since Ye Liuyun wasn’t telling, they had no choice but to let it slide.
Suddenly, the roars of beasts echoed through the forest. The sounds of battles could be heard in the distance, likely demons fighting each other.
