Chapter 2155: Chapter 2155 Team of Soul Cultivators
"This... I’ve been careless!"
Liu Yang had anticipated many scenarios before, and he even guessed that Ye Liuyun might have a treasure. However, he didn’t expect it to be so powerful.
His overconfidence failed him. All the countermeasures he thought of were completely useless. Bathed in the divine glow of the Token, his divine soul was immobilized.
Moreover, the Token was still sapping his strength. If it wasn’t for Ye Liuyun’s quick action to plant the Slaving Seal on him, his soul power would be markedly diminished.
After Ye Liuyun returned his divine soul, he proceeded to walk and chat with him as if nothing had happened.
"Do you know the martial practitioner at the foot of the mountain ahead? His divine soul is even stronger than yours." Ye Liuyun asked.
Without looking, Liu Yang answered immediately, "Among the people in this area who are stronger than me, there’s only Meng Changjun. He’s the overlord here, and everyone has to pay him resources every month, otherwise dead.
All martial practitioners who passed by are treated the same. However, he doesn’t rob people completely. As long as they provide enough resources, he would let them pass."
"Then let’s go, let’s meet him!" Ye Liuyun made up his mind on the spot.
"He’s a mid-ninth-realm!" Liu Yang tried to warn.
However, Ye Liuyun just laughed, "As a soul cultivator, taking others down by the level of cultivation doesn’t seem convincing, does it?"
He deliberately said this louder so that Meng Changjun, who was far away, could hear.
At this distance, his divine sense could reach Meng Changjun. Undoubtedly, he could sense them, too.
As expected, he opened his eyes and started sizing up Ye Liuyun.
"What? If you are trying to beat me by the level of cultivation, I might have to think of other ways!" Ye Liuyun didn’t avert his eyes, speaking in a provoking manner.
"Do you fancy a three-on-one?" Meng Changjun suddenly spoke, questioning Ye Liuyun.
"I’m impressed, you actually figured it out. But don’t get me wrong, it’s just me alone." Ye Liuyun quickly explained, "This is my new slave, the other one can assassinate you at any time. Only when I face off against you does it seem fair!"
"Huh? Who’s the other one?" Liu Yang, who had been thinking about his own enslavement, failed to spot the clone.
"You two, stay here!" Ye Liuyun commanded Liu Yang and his clone.
With the light of the clone’s Golden Phantom Eyes, imminent and instantaneous, such distance posed no hindrance to his attacks.
Ye Liuyun only acted this way deliberately out of fear that Meng Changjun would worry and dare not attack his Ocean of Consciousness.
Meng Changjun had also observed earlier that Ye Liuyun had taken all his surrounding guards into the spatial world.
If he were to confront Ye Liuyun with his realm, then he would definitely release all those people.
Then he would have more people to deal with, it was better to launch a soul attack.
But Liu Yang was subdued by Ye Liuyun in a blink of an eye, and he saw it all, causing him to hesitate, unsure how to make a move.
"If you’re too scared to take action, then don’t stay here in the future, leave the place for me! I quite fancy this environment!" Ye Liuyun continued to provoke.
However, Meng Changjun didn’t fall for it. "Why don’t you make a move first?"
Ye Liuyun laughingly replied, "If I were to use my power, I’m definitely not your match and can’t harm you. If I were to rely on my relics, I will end up killing you and that would be a terrible waste!"
"......"
Both Meng Changjun and Liu Yang were left speechless.
"He actually plans to enslave him!" Liu Yang sat aghast at the thought but held his tongue, lest he incite Ye Liuyun’s wrath.
"You really are audacious!" Meng Changjun finally recovered enough to blurt out a single statement.
"Bring up some overlord’s courage!" Ye Liuyun laughed nonchalantly.
In reality, he was only stating facts. His bow and his clone’s eyes could easily kill Meng Changjun. So if he wanted to survive, the only choice was to attack Ye Liuyun’s Ocean of Consciousness and be branded a slave by him.
Meng Changjun hesitated for a moment, looking towards the position of the clone.
The clone was not so far from him. At this distance, even a soul attack could reach him.
The clone immediately began consolidating powerful black light, in case Meng Changjun suddenly attacked.
Meng Changjun suddenly felt a threat of death emanating from the clone.
His soul power was substantial, and its perception was very sharp. He realized immediately that he could not take on the clone. Ye Liuyun was not lying, it seemed he could kill him anytime.
At this moment, he began to truly regard Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun spread his arms, laughing, "See, I’ve told you! You have no choice!"
"Are you threatening me?" Meng Changjun asked coldly.
"Well, if you think that I am, then I probably am!" Ye Liuyun shrugged, unperturbed by his attitude.
"...”
Both Meng Changjun and Liu Yang were left speechless once more.
Liu Yang had no idea his clone was threatening Meng Changjun. He has never seen anyone daring to speak to him like this. Yet, for some odd reason, he didn’t dare to take action against Ye Liuyun.
Hence, he was very curious about what had happened, and who this other person was.
Observing that the opponent was yet unwilling to take initiative, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to prod, "If you really don’t dare to act, I’ll have no choice but to kill you, alright?"
With that, he drew out his Divine Bow, aiming at Meng Changjun.
Meng Changjun immediately felt the death threat, his physical body even began to stiffen. Instantly, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to take this shot.
"He really could kill me! Screw that, let’s give it a go!" Meng Changjun made his decision instantaneously.
His soul power burst forth out of his Ocean of Consciousness, darting towards Ye Liuyun.
Good thing that the power was great enough, otherwise, martial practitioners with weaker soul power would have struggled to think under the threat of the Bow, let alone have their divine soul out.
"That’s more like it, you just had to take a look at my treasures!"
Ye Liuyun withdrew his Bow only after Meng Changjun’s divine soul surged into his Ocean of Consciousness.
Witnessing this, Liu Yang couldn’t help but cover his eyes, knowing that Meng Changjun will fall into Ye Liuyun’s control as well.
He’s experienced the power of the Token, it wasn’t something a martial practitioner of his level could resist.
And just as expected, after Ye Liuyun branded him with the Slaving Seal, Meng Changjun’s divine soul instantly returned to his own body, acknowledging him as his new master.
"I have a task for both of you. Capture as many martial practitioners as possible for me and build a team, bring them to capture some ninth-realm martial practitioners!" Ye Liuyun commanded.
Ye Liuyun was in high spirits, with these two, his prowess will enhance rapidly in the future.
And the soul power of these two, there probably won’t be anyone who can surpass them anymore.
"Ehm... Master, our soul power are not the strongest in the Central either. There exist even stronger experts in this Hill!" Meng Changjun was rather cautious in both his speech and actions.
"There are those stronger than you?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.
"As you move forward, you’ll likely encounter them. One is the Soul King of the Zhongxing Dynasty, the other is a Yin-soul of a woman." Meng Changjun reported.
