Chapter 2173: Chapter 2173 Strategy
"Is Chen Batian being controlled by this devil?" Ye Liuyun speculated.
"You’d better be prepared for this!" the Book Demon reminded.
"But it’s also possible that the Devil Qi in Chen Batian is not enough to activate the other divine soul, just like the one in this armor. Without the pressure brought by the Stele and the Vine together absorbing the energy, it will not wake up!"
Ye Liuyun nodded, choosing to be prepared to deal with the other divine soul of the Devil.
He waited until the devil’s divine soul had been worn out to be weaker than his, then he began to search through his soul.
The memories of the devil were all broken fragments, snippets of battles between the Devil Clan and humans, as if it had lost its memory. But one thing it remembered very clearly, the Jiuyou Song, even the complete version of both parts.
Overjoyed, he immediately recorded the full version of the song.
"Why are all it’s memories fragmented?"
"It’s been in this armor for too long and has forgotten a lot. It can only remember the deepest memories!"
"So it’s pointless for me to use the Song against it, right?"
"Of course, it remembers so clearly. If you confront it with its own techniques, isn’t that a futile effort?"
"Then I can only use my clone’s Dark Light to destroy it!"
"To destroy such a powerful divine soul, it may cost all your clone’s soul power! The Token can deal with it now! It just absorbed so much power, it’s much stronger than before!" reminded the Book Demon.
"What about my Buddha’s Halo?"
The Book Devil laughed and shook its head, "Even if you’ve absorbed all the Devil Qi in the armor, you can’t destroy such a powerful divine soul. Besides, the Stele and the Vine have already taken half of it away!"
Ye Liuyun finally caught on and quickly kept away the both of them.
However, these two absorbed the energy faster than Ye Liuyun and his clone, already taken away half of it from the armor.
Ye Liuyun didn’t blame them because if they became stronger, they would assist him. Additionally, the remaining half of the energy was sufficient for Ye Liuyun and his clone to absorb for a while!
It wasn’t until a day later that Ye Liuyun and his clone had completely absorbed the energy. It was especially thick and pure, so when Ye Liuyun absorbed and converted it, the process was extremely smooth.
After the Devil Qi dissipated, everyone finally saw Ye Liuyun.
Those imprinted with the Seal knew he was alive, but people like Zhao Mingcheng and others were deeply worried.
This was because all the Zhaos were in his spatial world. If he died, all members of their family would be doomed!
At this moment, the clone succeeded in refining the ancient devil’s armor, brought it back into the Xuankong Stone, and immediately put it on.
"An Immortal Level treasure!" The clone told Ye Liuyun.
"Great, wear it from now on!"
Ye Liuyun gave the armor to his clone. He also let his divine soul come to his Ocean of Consciousness to absorb the soul’s energy together.
Otherwise, it was too strong for him to absorb completely. The Token obviously left a share of resources for both of them.
Once all the energy was absorbed, Ye Liuyun believed that they didn’t need to join forces to deal with ordinary late-ninth-realms. They could go their separate ways.
Afterwards, he let his clone familiarize himself with the second half of the Jiuyou Song inside the Xuankong Stone to prevent him from being controlled by the Devil Clan with it.
"Thud!"
The martial practitioner who previously informed Ye Liuyun about the armor, immediately knelt down before him to apologize.
"Master, spare me! I didn’t know this armor was so deadly! I would never dare to harm you!"
Ye Liuyun laughed, "Of course you didn’t know! If you did, you would be dead already! You can’t handle such strong Devil Qi! Get up, I won’t punish my own people just for the sake of it!"
"Thank you, master!" he stood up at last, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
"If you have any other information, don’t hesitate to tell me!" Ye Liuyun continued to ask them.
The others immediately started to share what they knew.
"Among Chen Batian’s men, apart from the 30 late-ninth-realms, there are also 30 each of early and mid-ninth-realm. There are more than 200 eighth-realms and over 300 seventh-realms.
Only the late-ninth-realms were forced to sign a soul contract, the rest did not. So once a battle starts, those people definitely won’t risk their lives for Chen Batian, they will only follow if it’s convenient for them.
Only when they have a clear advantage, will they push themselves. Once they are at a disadvantage, they would immediately flee."
Hearing this, the Zhaos started to worry. With such a disparity in strength, how could they possibly fight this battle!
They were not afraid of dying, but fear that Ye Liuyun might die in the battle.
He glanced at the number of people on his side, totaling less than fifty. A frontal assault was certainly not an option, they could only resort to strategy.
He continued to ask about Chen Batian’s condition after he had fully merged with the devil’s body.
"Other than the elevation of one realm, everything else is the same as before!"
The few of them didn’t notice anything unusual.
Although it was highly possible that its soul was still in a deep sleep within Chen Batian’s body, Ye Liuyun didn’t dare to be careless.
If he were to plant a Slaving Seal on Chen Batian to control him, then should it awaken, it could break through his control and attack at any time, leaving him constantly on guard and defenseless.
However, if he were to kill Chen Batian, it would awaken immediately.
At this moment, Chen Batian was also making advanced preparations.
Ye Liuyun’s ability to control martial practitioners was too strong, which made him afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold his ground at the ferry crossing.
He had even sought help from the Revival Dynasty, informing Mo Xiaotian about how the divine soul of his men being controlled.
Upon careful investigation, Mo Xiaotian found this method identical to the ones used on his missing men.
Moreover, considering that Mo Shaowen had also appeared in Tredgeroh, he believed that the Fairy Clan was up to something there. He immediately notified his men in the city to rush and help Chen Batian at the ferry crossing.
These men had just withdrawn back to the city, after looking around for several days in vain, they were planning to return to the regalty. It was a waste of time to keep searching.
Therefore, as soon as they received the order, they immediately left the city. The passage of hundreds of ninth realm martial practitioners caused a stir wherever they passed.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his group were still at the same spot, figuring out how to deal with Chen Batian.
