Chapter 2153: Chapter 2153 Expert Soul Cultivators
"Bring over the Fairy that Zhao Tiangang has captured!" Ye Liuyun immediately directed the two guards to bring over Mo Shaowen.
"Yes!" They complied and went to fetch the person according to the orders.
Ye Liuyun and his clone took this opportunity to absorb and digest Zhao Rongde’s spiritual energy.
They had just absorbed that of his son, so absorbing his now was more strenuous, requiring more time and leading to significant waste.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun released Feng Hongxiu and conferred her the method of swallowing the spiritual energy, allocating some of it to her for an enhancement trial.
Although she also wasted a lot, at least she had learned, and would not waste that much next time.
Finally, when Ye Liuyun and his clone could no longer absorb any more, they stopped and began to consolidate the power they’d gained.
It wasn’t long before Mo Shaowen was brought in by the two guards.
"His spirit is on the verge of complete depletion!" the clone observed Mo Shaowen’s condition clearly.
At this moment, Mo Shaowen was in a daze, the green light in his eyes had dimmed. He didn’t expect Ye Liuyun to impersonate the Zhaos here, so he didn’t expend any of his soul power to observe him.
Ye Liuyun promptly fetched a restoration elixir and had someone administer it to him.
"What tricks are you trying to pull? If you dare, just end it quickly!" Mo Shaowen said weakly.
He wanted to refuse Ye Liuyun’s pill, but his genuine energy was sealed and so he had no choice but to let the guards forcefully stuff it down his throat.
Once the pill was down, he thought Zhao Rongde and his son wanted him to recover, then continue to torture him.
"Can you hold on? If you can, use your Green Pupils to see who I really am!" Ye Liuyun secretly communicated to him.
"Hmm?" A spark lit in Mo Shaowen’s heart. With the help of an elixir’s power, he forced himself to glance towards Ye Liuyun.
He then broke into a chuckle, "I knew it, the heavens wouldn’t let me perish so early!"
Aware that he had been saved, his heart relaxed, and he fainted completely.
"Let him rest!" Without making further attempts to awaken him, Ye Liuyun tucked him away into his spatial world to recover gradually.
By his side, several elixirs were placed to restore his soul power.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun started to question the two guards about the situation inside the Manor.
Apart from the both of them and Zhao Rongde, there were no other ninth-realms or above, which gave him a sigh of relief. He had them call in the late-eighth-realms to brand them with a Slaving Seal, one by one.
Then, he made his way to the treasury and ransacked all its resources.
Just before he left, he released Mu Changtian.
"Mu Liansheng tried to harm me, so I have killed him. From now on, you will stay here and live a normal life!"
Ye Liuyun had promised Mu Lianshi and Mu Lianqing that he wouldn’t kill Mu Changtian. Besides, given his current state, he no longer posed a threat to Ye Liuyun.
He gave Mu Changtian some resources to ensure his survival and then had him sent out of the Manor for resettlement.
Taking along Feng Hongxiu, and further strengthening her divine soul for another whole day, he then led the enslaved martial practitioners towards Deliverance Hill.
Once they left the city, Ye Liuyun reverted to his original appearance and released Yuan Bin and the others to prepare for cultivation together.
There were several small towns ahead, but the population was obviously reduced. Only soul cultivators would head this way.
The divine soul pressure here could clearly be felt, growing increasingly stronger.
After Mo Shaowen had slightly recovered, Ye Liuyun let him out as well.
"How did you also end up here?" Mo Shaowen immediately started chatting with Ye Liuyun upon his arrival.
He did not hide the truth from him, "I had a fight with the Fairy Clan, and took a temporary truce. I ran over here to improve my soul power."
Mo Shaowen just shrugged, speaking indifferently, "I have already tossed away my token!"
His intention was very clear, he was no longer a part of the Clan.
"There’s no need for that! Once the Clan is restored, you can return!" Ye Liuyun, on the contrary, started coaxing Mo Shaowen.
"That place will probably be in ruins by then!" Mo Shaowen said, helplessly chuckling bitterly.
Ye Liuyun didn’t continue that topic, only asking about his future plans.
"To go cultivate with you at the hill. This setback has enlightened me, there are plenty stronger than me! It’s time for me to diligently train!"
"That sounds good! Let’s go together, it’s better to have company!" Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.
They moved at a leisurely pace, adapting to the pressure as they proceeded.
"What exactly is inside the hill? What causes such a potent pressure?" Mo Shaowen asked.
"Nobody knows! No one has ever been there, not even Zhao Rongde has the courage."
Ye Liuyun was also rather curious about what could be causing this phenomenon.
"Master, this is the last city. If we proceed further, there will be no resources or food supplies.
Besides, there’s a chaotic area outside the city, and many martial practitioners with powerful divine souls will ambush and rob passersby. Our group is too conspicuous, I fear we will draw their attention!"
One of the guards reported to Ye Liuyun.
"How strong are they?"
"All of these people are at least as strong as Master Zhao! Almost all of the strong soul cultivators from the central region are here.
Those without a sufficient soul power won’t have the courage to act up here!" The bodyguard explained.
Ye Liuyun nodded in acknowledgment, instructed everyone to rest for a few days in this city, gather their supplies, strive to increase their soul power, before continue on their journey.
He also addressed the enslaved martial cultivators, "If there are any among you who dare not proceed or do not wish to enhance their soul power, let me know in advance. I will take you all into my spatial world!"
Out of the nineteen that Ye Liuyun brought along, twelve of the eighth-realms stepped forward, concerned of their safety in the chaos ahead.
"What’s there to fear! At worst, we’ll die. How can you expect to advance if you don’t risk it?" Mo Shaowen disdainfully commented from the side.
Ye Liuyun said nothing, but immediately took them into the spatial world.
"What are your names?" Ye Liuyun asked the two bodyguards.
"Shen Kuo, Lu Yao," they quickly replied.
Ye Liuyun gave them some training resources to distribute among their compatriots.
"Enhance your strength before we leave," he instructed the remaining bodyguards.
"Thank you, Master!" The guard’s gratitude was evident, pleasantly surprised by Ye Liuyun’s generous character - a far cry from the last master, Zhao Rongde and his son.
Shen Kuo and Lu Yao immediately took their fellow bodyguards to train.
Ye Liuyun then took out some spirit crystals, handed them to Yuan Bin and another martial practitioner as he commanded, "You two, go buy some food and drinks."
