Chapter 1926: Chapter 1926 Found the Witch
Everyone inside the building was cultivating normally, even the Devil Clan woman, Witch, showed no sign of escape or resistance.
However, through careful observation, Ye Liuyun noticed something abnormal. Inside the hearts of a martial practitioner and Witch, there was each a small worm.
The worm in the heart of the martial practitioner was slightly larger. Additionally, there were many more of these worms within a small box in that martial practitioner’s storage.
"Venomous worms?"
Suspecting it was a kind of dark magic, Ye Liuyun hypothesised that these people were controlling Witch with these venomous worms.
Therefore, he dared not carelessly release the Devil Vine or Devil-sealing Stele to attack, afraid of hurting the Witch.
"Gotta find a chance to approach Witch, knock her out, and get rid of the venomous worm."
Ye Liuyun was just thinking of this when he noticed that a few more martial practitioners were coming up with a plot against him.
The next moment, with a smirk, he easily took down the lower realm martial practitioner, while imprinting the higher realm ones with Slaving Seals.
Afterward, Ye Liuyun continued imprinting the ones inside with Slaving Seals and ended up controlling more than twenty martial practitioners of the Fourth Realm.
In the dead of night, he first released the Devil Vine and had the Devil-sealing Stele ready to suppress the foreign race, but not kill it.
Then, he commanded those martial practitioners to pretend to fight just outside of the building, and it was best to blow down the walls of the building, attracting the attention of the inside martial practitioners.
Those martial practitioners acted pretty convincingly, starting with a surprise encounter of two sides, followed by arguments, and then a fight broke out.
As a loud ’boom’ echoed, one martial practitioner was blasted directly into the courtyard wall, leading to its collapse.
"What are you guys doing?!" Two powerful martial practitioners immediately emerged from within the building, berating the battling martial practitioners.
All the martial practitioners immediately stopped their actions, frightened by the intimidating aura of the two formidable figures, not daring to continue their attack.
"Attack!"
Just then, through spiritual communication, Ye Liuyun immediately transmitted this message to those martial practitioners.
Instantly, all the martial practitioners unleashed their Divine Souls, launching assaults toward the Ocean of Consciousness of one of the powerful martial practitioners.
Meanwhile, activating his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun directed his Divine Soul Force toward the Ocean of Consciousness of the other martial practitioner, promptly initiating a soul search.
"As expected, it’s Witch! She was bewitched with a venomous worm!"
While Ye Liuyun was devouring the strong martial practitioner’s Divine Soul, he also used the Devil-sealing Stele to suppress the foreign race and simultaneously commanded the Devil Vines to attack.
The other martial practitioners also joined forces to exterminate another strong martial practitioner’s Divine Soul and collectively charged toward the inside of the building.
The martial practitioners of higher realms in the building rushed out to join the battle later.
However, the martial practitioners of the Fifth Realm’s early stage were swallowed up by the Devil Vines springing out suddenly from underground.
Next, the Devil Vines together with the other martial practitioners started assaulting those middle-stage Fifth Realm martial practitioners.
The Devil-sealing Stele, on the other side, targeted the foreign race, suppressing it, and then began absorbing its power.
Cloaked in his Concealcape, Ye Liuyun blended amongst the martial practitioners, edging closer to Witch.
Controlled by the venomous worm, Witch had no choice but to join the battle, targeting the swarm of martial practitioners.
Once Ye Liuyun got close enough to her, he launched a surprise attack, sending her flying and spitting out blood as she fainted.
Immediately, he used his Spatial Force to control the Ghostic Fire, swiftly killing the venomous worm in the Witch’s heart.
"Pfft!"
The martial practitioner who had planted the venomous worm in Witch was amid a battle with Devil Vine. Suddenly, his body shook and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Seizing the opportunity, Devil Vine bit off his upper body with one bite.
Ye Liuyun, in order to prevent the venomous worm from harming Devil Vine, specifically used his Spatial Force to incinerate the mother worm inside the martial practitioner.
Following that, he quickly took Witch into his Spatial World, then went to help Devil Vine eliminate other mid-stage Fifth Realm martial practitioners.
The Fourth Realm martial practitioners he had subdued were all killed, with none left, and were finally swallowed by Devil Vine.
After Ye Liuyun kept Devil Vine away, he went to deal with the foreign race suppressed by the Devil-sealing Stele.
The foreign race’s Divine Soul Force had been absorbed quite a bit by the Devil-sealing Stele at this moment. Its other powers were drained to nothing as well. Thus, Ye Liuyun directly used a soul search on him.
The information obtained from the soul search was even more shocking to Ye Liuyun.
He discovered that the Devil Clan had a massive secret, that was, they had a void passage opened by the foreign race, through which the foreign race could enter the world directly.
But the passage was sealed off by the Formation of the Devil Clan, and they were temporarily unable to get through it.
So these foreign races, in the primary foreign race battlefield, captured a human martial practitioner who possessed a Spatial World and subdued him. Then, they ordered him to bring along sixteen foreign races of varying realms from fourth to sixth, to secretly expand their forces here. The plan was to find opportunities to sabotage the Devil Clan’s power, and then break the passage’s defensive formation.
Therefore, the foreign races hiding in the Devil Clan territory were not just him, but fifteen others as well.
Upon receiving this information from his clone, Ye Liuyun’s main body immediately ran back to Base No.7 and reported this situation to Wu Yongguang.
However, Wu Yongguang was not surprised at the passage within the Devil Clan.
He told Ye Liuyun that the passage was discovered and sealed using Formation by a strong martial practitioner of the Martial Deity Alliance.
It was precisely because the Devil Clan agreed to guard that passage that they could continue to exist, otherwise they would have been wiped out by humanity long ago.
However, Ye Liuyun saved the Witch, disrupted the foreign races’ plot, and prevented a war between the Devil Clan and the South region, which saved a lot of energy for the Devil Clan.
On this point, Wu Yongyuan immediately reported Ye Liuyun’s accomplishments to the Martial Deity Alliance.
The Martial Deity Alliance told Wu Yongyuan to reward Ye Liuyun considerably, allowing him to return Witch directly to the Devil Clan.
As for those foreign races hidden in the Devil Clan, they could clean up by themselves.
Surprisingly, this situation, which Ye Liuyun saw as a major one, was easily handled by the Martial Deity Alliance.
Wu Yongyuan noticed his doubts and laughed as he explained, "Actually, there’s more than one passage that the foreign races opened. They can open new ones at any time. The reason they haven’t acted yet is just that they don’t have the strength."
At this, Ye Liuyun had an epiphany, "And when they do take action, the passages won’t actually stop them!"
Wu Yongyuan nodded worriedly, "We can only hope that such a thing never happens!"
At this time, Ye Liuyun’s clone woke the Witch up.
"The venomous worm inside you, I’ve got rid of it already! The people who kidnapped you, I killed them too."
Subsequently, he burned the bodies of the foreign races in front of her.
Witch thanked Ye Liuyun profusely, but she was still curious about his motives.
"Why did you save me?"
Ye Liuyun, however, questioned her back, "The Devil Clan guarding the foreign races’ passage for this world. That’s a contribution, right? So shouldn’t I save you?"
"You’re the first person I’ve met who knows about the foreign races’ passage, and the first one to say that the Devil Clan has contributions!" Witch said earnestly.
"Well, many people, especially those who are strong, also know what the Devil Clan has done for this world. It’s just that there’s something they can’t talk about, and they also can’t take care of you guys now!" Ye Liuyun explained to her.
Witch seemed a bit moved upon hearing his words.
"Alright, this is no big deal. Come on, let me take you back. There are still many foreign races in the Devil Clan that I need to deal with. After you return, tell the Devil Clan to stop fighting!" Ye Liuyun told her.
However, Witch just shook her head and said, "That’s quite unlikely!"
