Chapter 2056: Chapter 2056 The Battle of Divine Souls
"Impressive!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed as he kept away all the powder and antidotes.
But he soon asked again, "Will the martial practitioner slowly eliminate these toxins from his body?"
"Of course. That’s why my antidote formula not only detoxifies him but also incorporated more Multi Poison Powder. He will have to keep taking the antidote as it detoxifies and poisons him simultaneously," Lin Luoyi explained.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun broke into a cold sweat.
"Good thing you’re with me. Otherwise, if these tricks were used against me, I would be screwed! Alchemists are indeed terrifying!"
Lin Luoyi was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Ye Liuyun but then felt it was inappropriate and put her hand back down.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You’re an alchemist yourself! I’ve never used these to harm people!"
Ye Liuyun then took her hand and coaxed her, "I was just making a comment, not saying that you really did!"
Only then did Lin Luoyi nod her head, "However, once the Illustar Grass and Black Hemp are used, the damage they cause to the body is irreversible, and the medication can never be stopped."
"Won’t he eliminate it from his body on his own?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
"These herbs stimulate the divine soul too intensely. Once addicted, it’s not only a physical reliance but a soul dependency as well, something that moving past can’t simply solve!
Moreover, initial consumption invigorates the spirit, elevating cultivation efficiency. Its effects on the mind unveil over time.
Unless she possesses particularly strong willpower to break free from the divine soul’s dependency. However, this likelihood is minute, not something attainable in the short term!"
Ye Liuyun also pondered for a long time before making up his mind.
"Let’s start making the pills! They are our enemies after all! They have powerful backing, tight defenses, and I have no other options but to use this method against them! Tricking them profits many others, it is worth it!"
Lin Luoyi also agreed to help him refine the Youth Preserving Pills. She only needed to refine it to the mid-sixth-grade standard, which was effortless for her.
Ye LiuYun left the spatial world and gave the Multi Poison Powder to Azure.
In case of emergency, he also ordered his clone to stand behind him under the Concealcape. He arranged Xenocide and Vespera to guard the gate and within the courtyard, so once Li Xing stepped into the house, they would make sure he couldn’t escape.
Hua Xiangyuan was ready with her performance, while Scorch dressed temptingly with red makeup, waiting for Liu Xing to fall into their trap.
After Ye Liuyun had spent such a long time in the spatial world, Li Jian had eventually persuaded Liu Xing and brought him to his place.
As they reached the gate, they heard the music.
"There really is someone playing music!" Upon hearing it, Liu Xing completely believed Li Jian.
"Of course! Why would I lie to you?" Li Jian stated confidently.
As soon as Li Jian knocked on the door, the music halted abruptly. Ye Liuyun, accompanying Azure, came to welcome them.
"Li Jian, welcome to my humble abode!" Ye Liuyun greeted enthusiastically.
Liu Xing had crafty and sneaky looks, a joking smile constantly on his face, he clearly wasn’t a good person. Ye Liuyun didn’t understand why Wu Kun would make such a man his senior disciple.
Liu Xing took a few more looks at Azure on purpose, forming several creases on his face with his broad smile.
Ye Liuyun then led Liu Xing into the living room.
Once he stepped in, his eyes were immediately fixated on Hua Xiangyuan and Scorch, unable to sideline them.
"Chen Feng, you are extremely blessed!" He could not help but compliment.
Ye Liuyun had never encountered such an audacious lecher before, and shook his head silently, promptly beginning his act.
"I’m just here to enjoy some music and watch a dance performance in my free time. I apologise if this has caused any confusion for you," He turned to Hua Xiangyuan and Scorch, "You guys should all go, I have an important matter to discuss with Mr. Li."
"Yes!" With their consent, they began to rise to their feet and show respect, getting ready to leave.
"Hey? That’s not fair, Chen Feng! We came all the way here, can’t we feast our eyes as well? Why not listen to music and watch a dance while we talk? It won’t get in the way!" Liu Xing immediately tried to intervene.
"Ah... I was just worried that they’d be a distraction. Since you don’t mind, I don’t see why not!"
Ye Liuyun agreed and let Hua Xiangyuan continue her performance, while Huowu performed a dance. Azure went to serve some tea and snacks.
As soon as the music began, Li Jian was quickly entranced. But, to everyone’s surprise, Liu Xing remained unaffected.
Scorch also tried her illusion tricks on Liu Xing, but it had no effect.
"The enchantments around him have deflected the music and Scorch’s illusion magic. He has a talisman hanging around his neck against divine soul attacks."
His clone managed to see this with his Golden Phantom Eyes. He could see the oscillations of the divine soul and realized that all attempts at illusion were being blocked.
Simultaneously, Ye Liuyun and his clone released three divine souls each, attacking Liu Xing’s protective talisman.
It turned out that Liu Xing came prepared. He hung a talisman around his neck in advance which protected him from such attacks. He was aware that such abilities could be produced through music and dancing.
He was absolutely confident at this moment, not paying any attention to Ye Liuyun. His eyes were fixated on the ladies, especially Scorch.
Her fiery figure and revealing attire had him drooling, leaving him with little attention for Ye Liuyun.
At this point. Ye Liuyun was getting anxious.
The power of his three divine souls, combined with Scorch’s illusion skills and Hua Xiangyuan’s enchanting lute music, still fell a little short.
"Careless of me! Had I known, I’d let both Qingcheng and Miaoyin come along!"
Caught in a bind, Ye Liuyun saw that the lecher didn’t notice him and boldly released his last divine soul, making a full-blown attempt to break through the formation. Staunchly, he managed to squeeze a breakthrough in the formation’s defence and ripped it open completely.
Liu Xing was negligent too. This formation chart was his own creation. He thought that as the eldest disciple of the Formation Pavilion, no one, not even Elder Kurong, could break the formations that he engraved.
Once it was broken, the illusions immediately affected him.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Ye Liuyun secretly sighed, "That was close!"
Using the power of the divine soul to crack a defense formation is no different from the normal attempts to break with force. Only when one’s power surpasses that of the formation can the formation be torn apart.
This time, if it wasn’t for their joint effort, they may have really had to go the hard way against Liu Xing. It would then likely draw attention and expose Ye Liuyun’s plans.
Everything was much easier after that. Azure poured the powder into Liu Xing’s cup, as the ladies used their illusions to make him perceive tea as wine and drink it down.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun seized the opportunity to release his divine soul and search Liu Xing’s.
"Of course, Feng Chen is Murong Tian’s man! His dedicated military strategist!" In Liu Xing’s Ocean of Consciousness, Ye Liuyun collected the information he wanted.
