Chapter 2096: Chapter 2096 Not A Chance
Ye Liuyun’s clone thought for a moment, then spoke to him, "Actually, I really want you to kill this guy! Here’s the thing, if you managed to take him down with your divine soul, I’ll give you the antidote!"
"........."
Zhang Yunpeng was speechless.
It was clear that the clone was just fooling him to use a soul attack so that he would release his soul power, making it easier for the substitute to control him. Previously, he saw how the substitute used soul attacks to command many of the martial practitioners.
However, he was quite confident about his own divine soul.
And he had no other choice now but to obey what Ye Liuyun said.
"Will you keep your word?" asked Zhang Yunpeng.
"Absolutely!" the clone affirmed.
Seeing his agreement, Zhang Yunpeng immediately released his divine soul and it went straight into his Ocean of Consciousness.
"Haha, well done! I knew you could do it!"
At this time, Ye Liuyun also reverted to his original appearance, no longer pretending to be the substitute. The clone also put on the Concealcape again to hide himself.
Zhang Yunpeng’s soul was covered by the golden light of the Universal God Token, and a Slaving Seal was marked on him by Ye Liuyun.
Looking at Ye Liuyun’s soul, he finally understood. "You’re not a substitute?"
"Exactly!" Ye Liuyun’s divine soul chuckled and released his back.
He now had a ninth-realm expert by his side. It was still the strongest force he had at the moment albeit only in the early stage.
Zhang Yunpeng was filled with regret. Had he known that the person he had caught was Ye Liuyun and not anyone else, he would never have let go.
"Too late for regrets!" Ye Liuyun walked over with a smile, absorbing back all the poison in his body.
"Master!" After being detoxified, Zhang Yunpeng was controlled by Ye Liuyun and obediently accepted his dominion.
"Let’s go, let’s first visit your clan. There’s a few more eighth-realm experts, aren’t there? I’m in need of manpower right now, I need them to work for me!" Ye Liuyun directly said.
Zhang Yunpeng knew he had implicated his family, but Ye Liuyun didn’t care about his feelings, only focusing on expanding his own power.
Moreover, the Zhang family is a major force monopolizing clothing materials in the East. How could Ye Liuyun let them go?
Both he and Xuanyuan Ling believed that clothing was not that important, martial practitioners were more concerned about elixirs, medicinal materials, and cultivation resources. They were too busy to handle all, so they had to prioritize.
But now, it would be even better if Ye Liuyun could solve this matter on the way.
After Zhang Yunpeng took Ye Liuyun back to his clan, he marked another few of the experts with Slaving Seals, controlling the entire Zhang family in his hands.
He only left a mid-eighth-realm with the Zhangs and took the other 2, along with another late-eighth-realm and 6 early-eighth-realm, with him.
"How did you cultivate to this level? You’re not very old, but your achievement is the highest in your clan?" Ye Liuyun asked Zhang Yunpeng along the way.
"I went to the foreign race battlefield at seventh-realm, and managed to take down a Golden-armoured. That’s why my strength improved so fast!"
Ye Liuyun laughed, "No wonder, so you had an opportunity! I guess you didn’t expect that this opportunity was preparing for meeting me!"
Zhang Yunpeng was speechless. If it wasn’t for being fooled by Ye Liuyun’s clone and disguise, he wouldn’t have fallen for it!
Ye Liuyun was extremely happy, he took Zhang Yunpeng and his clan members into his spatial world, and continued to rush to the Northsky Sect.
Before he arrived, his Divine Sense noticed He Wenjin. He had looked around but couldn’t find Ye Liuyun, guessing that he had returned to the Sect, so he decided to wait here.
He didn’t know who He Wenjin was, and those martial practitioners only informed him that a handful of people were dispatched this time.
However, upon discovering that He Wenjin’s realm, he found it odd that he was waiting here. He immediately inquired about him from his recent captives, using his spiritual energy to conjure an image of He Wenjin for them to identify him.
There are eight elders in the Alliance of Merchants, each in charge of different affairs. This third elder is responsible for controlling their external forces.
After some thought, he decided to eliminate He Wenjin.
He was not confident that he could get rid of his defensive jewellery, and once he gave him such an opportunity, He Wenjin would certainly report to the Alliance.
Many of them also said that he was very steady yet cunning, so Ye Liuyun didn’t want to take any risks.
Actually, He Wenjin had also noticed Ye Liuyun by now, he was just waiting quietly for him to approach.
However, Ye Liuyun didn’t give him the chance to act first, he directly ordered his clone to emit a white light from his Golden Phantom Eyes, which completely obliterated He Wenjin’s head.
He Wenjin only saw a white light shining on his face before he knew nothing more, he died without even having a chance to say a word.
"This Third Eye of the foreign race is quite formidable! I wonder how it would go if I encounter a powerful Cuegle in the future!" Ye Liuyun was quite startled by the effect of the Third Eye.
Having this technique as his ace was invincible. Even ninth-realm experts could be eliminated in an instant.
He dared not reveal this skill, otherwise, the whole God Realm would want to dig out his eyes.
Ye Liuyun went over to take off his Interspatial Ring, and threw the body to the Devil Vine to consume.
And then, as if nothing had happened, he entered the Northsky Sect.
Upon returning to the Sect, Ye Liuyun immediately caused a sensation.
Yao Donglai and Lu Yi rushed straight to the Pill Hall to express their stance that the Sect would support him with all its might.
Ye Liuyun had long anticipated this result, so he didn’t mind it much.
His main reason of this trip was to discuss with Jin Qingsong and get him to introduce the heads of the Alchemist Alliance and the Refinement Alliance.
After understanding Ye Liuyun’s intentions, Jin Qingsong directly told him, "Rest assured about the Alchemist Alliance. I am the deputy leader there. They will definitely support you. As for the Refinement Alliance, I will take you to Wu Kun. He is more familiar with those people than I am."
Jin Qingsong took Ye Liuyun to meet Wu Kun, and Lu Yi also went along to help plead the case.
It turned out that Wu Kun was teaching Liu Xing formations. Ye Liuyun greeted Liu Xing and stated his purpose.
"You want to compete for business with the Alliance of Merchants?" Wu Kun was rather surprised upon hearing this.
Even though he also heard that the Dragon Clan and the Beasts had made their stance clear, he still believed that Ye Liuyun is no match for the Alliance in doing business.
Besides, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t be able to handle their strength.
Ye Liuyun detailed his strength to Wu Kun, but he simply couldn’t believe it.
"You have a ninth-realm expert?"
Helpless, Ye Liuyun had Zhang Yunpeng cover his face and show himself.
It was only then that Wu Kun believed it. Moreover, Lu Yi was also taken aback, he didn’t expect Ye Liuyun to have such a powerful person by his side.
"But one is not enough!" Wu Kun continued to stick to his point of view.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t show off too much, nor could he brag about his recent kill of another ninth-realm expert right before that, so he had to slowly convince him.
"Master, I believe in him!"
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly conveyed a message to Wu Kun, asking him to accept Ye Liuyun’s proposition.
