Chapter 2158: Chapter 2158 Supervisory Envoy
The premonitions of Soul Cultivator experts are often precise.
As a result, Ye Liuyun easily subdued Bai Su without any resistance before revealing her mission to her.
"But passages connecting the God Realm to the Ghostic World has already been opened, and the Ghostic World has begun to receive the souls from the God Realm!" Zhuge Feiyu was sceptical of the Zen Mountain’s intent, not because he didn’t believe Bai Su.
After being controlled by Soul Forging Hammer, Bai Su could not lie.
"I felt that too! However, their Divine Souls’ strength is weak. Zen Mountain’s main objective is to suppress the divine souls in the central region." Bai Su answered.
"Do you know where the other passage between the Ghostic World and the God Realm is?" Ye Liuyun asked Bai Su.
"According to the previous Burial God, it is under the control of the Eastern Fairy Clan." Bai Su replied.
"It should be in the sanctum or tomb of the Fairy Clan!” Ye Liuyun guessed in his heart. Ye Liuyun believed that Liang Xue was in danger because of the circumstances surrounding the Saintess of the Fairy Clan.
"I don’t see much use in keeping Zen Mountain here. Why don’t we send the Zen Mountain to the Ghostic World?" Zhuge Feiyu suggested.
"Bai Su, kill all the martial practitioners here, collect their Yin-souls into the Soul Forging Hammer and send them to the Ghostic World along with the Zen Mountain."
"In the future, allow Zhuge Feiyu to use the Soul Forging Hammer to subdue any experts that enter the Ghostic World."
Ye Liuyun believed it was time to send the Zen Mountain to the Ghostic World because it was not useful here.
"Yes!” Bai Su agreed and rushed towards the Martial practitioners in this area with Zhuge Feiyu.
Ye Liuyun instructed Meng Changjun to retire to the city with the Soul Cultivators he had subdued. The remainder was left for Bai Su to clean up after.
Bai Su was too strong. the martial practitioners who were practising here were quickly killed, and their Yin-souls were sent into the Soul Forging Hammer by Zhuge Feiyu.
With these powerful Yin souls guarding the Ghostic World, Ye Liuyun and others no longer need to worry about the Ghostic World being attacked.
The martial practitioners’ corpses were brought back by Zhuge Feiyu to Ye Liuyun who then fed them to Devil Vine.
Bai Su waved towards the Deliverance Hill, and an object in the shape of a black triangle flew out from the waist of the mountain.
When they got closer, Ye Liuyun and the others could see that it was a black pinnacle that had been scaled down.
Bai Su handed Ye Liuyun the authority to control Zen Mountain.
After Ye Liuyun assimilated the Zen Mountain, he had his clone send them back to the Ghostic World.
Afterwards, he wasted no time getting back to the city to rejoin Meng Changjun and the other martial practitioners.
Meng Changjun had formed a team of more than 200 soul cultivators with each of them possessing a powerful Divine Soul.
"So far, so good! The squad is large enough. You should split up and act stealthily."
Following Ye Liuyun’s directions, Meng Changjun divided the team into groups of ten and assigned the best martial practitioners to lead them as they sought out ninth-level martial practitioners.
Back in Soulspire City, Ye Liuyun took charge of the City Lord Manor and linked the Conveyor Formation to the Eastcloud Dynasty. This made it easy for the soul cultivators to transport the martial practitioners they had seized to the Eastcloud Dynasty.
But he also imposed a restriction. The Conveyor Formation could only transport martial practitioners marked with his Slaving Seal to the Eastcloud Dynasty.
To stop the martial practitioners at the City Lord Manor from discovering flaws and leaking information, Ye Liuyun started to govern them sequentially.
For many months running, Ye Liuyun’s strategy to apprehend martial practitioners went off smoothly.
There were traces of these soul cultivators throughout the landscape surrounding Soulspire City’s urban centres.
Every month, Ye Liuyun was able to send back nearly a hundred martial practitioners of the ninth level to the Eastern Dynasty.
Right after capturing the martial practitioners, Ye Liuyun would rebrand them with the Slaving Seal before sending them back. It was to prevent them from being a threat to the Eastcloud Dynasty after they perished and were unbounded from their Divine Soul contract.
"That’s enough, bring everyone back!"
Ye Liuyun used these soul cultivators to catch more scattered martial practitioners or experts. Whenever there were outsiders present, they would find some reasons to attack.
There were now hardly a handful of sizable forces remaining in these neighbouring towns. Attention would be drawn to these soul cultivators if they persisted in their actions.
In addition, several martial practitioners had learnt that the pressure coming from the Deliverance Mountain that perish Divine Souls had gone. Worried that the Eastern Dynasty might send inspectors to investigate the place, Ye Liuyun attempted to retreat ahead of schedule.
However, before he could leave, the Supervisory Envoy from the Eastern Dynasty arrived in Soulspire City.
At this time, many of the soul cultivators dispatched by Ye Liuyun had not yet returned. Left with no choice, Ye Liuyun had to continue impersonating Zhao Rongde to meet the Supervisory Envoy.
Xu Mulin, a Supervisory Envoy sent by the Central Dynasty, was an old man in his eighties. Despite his silver hair and beard, he was full of vitality and had alert eyes.
Xu Mulin was Mo Xiaotian’s trusted advisor. The Deliverance Hill was once a significant natural barrier for the Central Dynasty.
Once this natural fortification ceased to function, outsiders could freely enter the central region, and those who wanted to escape from the central region could also easily flee.
Therefore, once they confirmed that the Divine Soul pressure coming from Deliverance Hill no longer existed, the Zhognxing Dynasty would need to deploy troops to stand guard.
Ye Liuyun felt that it was a good thing for the Zhongxing Dynasty to gather his guard at this spot to prevent expert martial practitioners from tormenting the commoners in other areas.
However, Mo Xiaotian was more concerned about the reason for the disappearance of the Deliverance Hill’s pressure. He suspected that the treasures inside might have been looted and could potentially threaten his position.
Therefore, accompanying Xu Mulin this time, were twenty martial practitioners of the ninth level. This Supervisory Envoy was indeed a formidable force.
After arriving, Xu Mulin showed no arrogance. Instead, he chatted casually with Ye Liuyun.
"Mister Zhao, there’s no need to be overly courteous. We are here on official business and don’t need your hospitality. As long as you can share any information with us, we will be extremely grateful!"
"Positioned high, with an exceptional power, yet so modest. He is indeed not as simple as he appeared!"
At first glance, Ye Liuyun noticed the gleam in his eyes and instantly caught on that he was a cunning person who would be difficult to handle.
"Having you here in Soulspire City is an honour! I deeply appreciate your consideration for your subordinate. Nonetheless, offering you a modest banquet is the least I can do. We shall discuss this while enjoying our meal. It won’t waste your valuable time!"
Ye Liuyun knew Xu Mulin was being polite, but insisted on hosting a banquet.
Xu Mulin didn’t refuse any further and accepted the invitation. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Xu Mulin started to inquire about the situation of the Deliverance Hill.
Ye Liuyun started to narrate him in a serious expression.
"It was very recently that I noticed many Soul Cultivators had retreated. When I inquired about the reason, I was told about the loss of pressure from the Deliverance Hill. However, I have yet to investigate it."
"According to those soul cultivators, It appeared that a massive battle had taken place within... But since they were too far in the distance, they couldn’t confirm who was involved in the battle. They were only certain that it wasn’t anyone from their own rank."
"Afterwards, the divine soul pressure from the Deliverance Hill just disappeared."
