Chapter 2286: Chapter 2286 Return in Discreet
While Xuan Yuanling gathered resources, Ye Liuyun and his companions began to enhance their cultivation level with the Emerald Essence Liquid.
Two droplets were given to each woman, including Feng Hongxiu, and to those traveling with Ye Liuyun.
Everyone got their fair portion, even Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang. Ye Liuyun shared the remaining portion with his parents and close friends. Only Feng Hongxiu requested an additional two drops to use as bribes or rewards for her assassins.
Soon after, everyone started cultivating to enhance their realm.
Ye Liuyun’s cultivation level barely increased to the advanced eighth level after taking one drop internally and one drop externally, which was hardly significant progress.
Likewise, the ladies and Demon in his team who had Double Virtuoso noticed a little, hardly noticeable, level gain.
However, those with only a single Virtuoso experienced almost a full realm leap.
Not being in a hurry, Ye Liuyun was satisfied with even a little progress.
There was no mistaking the intensity of the Emerald Essence Liquid’s energy. The virtuoso energy inside his heart overflowed the moment he took that single drop, as the thick energy filled him instantly.
Despite his effort to contain it, the energy burst forth the second he took that one drop, overflowing him with dense energy and pushing him into a realm of cultivation.
When Ye Liuyun and his clone drank the potion simultaneously, they both made breakthroughs at the same time.
Improving one’s physical appearance, on the other hand, was a more torturous procedure. His skin cracked all over from the intense energy that coursed through him, and he felt as though he had died and come back to life.
However, one’s physical strength would improve dramatically if one could make it through.
The improvement of Ye Liuyun’s physical self has long been his priority. Because of the Emerald Essence Liquid’s improvement, he was no longer vulnerable to strikes from martial practitioners in the advanced ninth level.
The Demon Vine was no longer as wary about killing him with a single strike during their sparring sessions.
Ye Liuyun told Qiong Qi to establish a massive Conveyor Formation on the foreign races’ battlefield after everyone had levelled up their cultivation. They constructed the port intending to connect it to Moyana Island in the future.
He then had Qiong Qi lead a team of Formation masters to replicate the Formation Disc Ye Liuyun brought back. After production, it would be handed over to the Celestial Cloud Emporium and the army for their use.
By the time Xuan Yuanling had gathered all the necessary resources, Qiong Qi and the Formation masters had completed the Formation Discs for their business trading.
Ye Liuyun made it simpler for Feng Hongxiu, Yu Xiaofeng, Xiao Yunfang, and Xuan Yuanling to trade resources in the future by distributing one to each of them. The remaining discs were given to the Formstion masters to configure for Xuan Yuanling.
After that, Ye Liuyun rounded up everyone again, getting ready to set off.
This time, he brought everyone into his Spatial World and used the Black Tower to transport them to Moyana Island.
He dispatched everyone except Tongxin and Wen Hao on separate missions to gather supplies. In addition, he instructed them to get as close as they could to the important figures of other dynasties to gather intel on them.
Ye Liuyun was afraid for Tong Xin’s safety, therefore, he kept him back due to his weak combat strength. Ye Liuyun was concerned that Wen Hao’s explosive temper may lead to trouble and the exposure of his Demon identity. Nevertheless, he wasn’t particularly worried about the rest of the team.
Ye Liuyun himself altered his appearance and set off with the female team towards the Euphoria Dynasty.
"Where do we start?" Wu Qingcheng and Liang Xue enquire Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun replied with a grin, "No hurry. We sit back and watch. After the three dynasties cause strife between themselves, we will choose the best course of action."
"If the Elysium Dynasty possesses a treasure like the Grand Hall, it should reveal itself soon. We’ll head to the Euphoria Dynasty for now, then keep an eye on the capital of the Elysium Dynasty to monitor their movements."
"We don’t have anything urgent to do right now, so why don’t we seize the chance to spend some time together?"
Naturally, they would not oppose Ye Liuyun’s idea.
After a long, leisurely journey over beautiful scenery, Ye Liuyun and his colleagues reached the Elysium Dynasty capital.
They settled down in a secluded estate they purchased upon arrival in the Elysium Dynasty.
They deployed a small contingent of Dark Legion soldiers to guard the estate.
Ye Liuyun dispatched his clone to gather intelligence on the Palace’s activities. Initially, there was nothing noteworthy from his investigation.
However, one particular day, the clone detected two formidable diine soul experts clashing directly within the capital.
One of the Divine Soul forces belonged to a woman whose appearance seemed oddly familiar.
"Yun Mengyi!"
After a moment of searching his memory, the clone recalled that this was the woman he had once encountered in a secret realm, Yun Mengyi.
In addition, Ye Liuyun had personally taught Yun Mengyi the Divine Soul cultivation techniques she was using now.
But it seemed like Yun Mengyi’s opponent was stronger, almost on par with Ye Liuyun’s strength. It was obvious that he could easily defeat Yun Mengyi.
The battle between the two was rather short. By the time the Clone arrived, the fight had already concluded.
All he saw was Yun Mengyi’s opponent carrying a coffin into the palace.
He peered into the casket with his Golden Phantom Eyes and saw Yun Menyi in there.
"A Royal Court expert?"
The clone was intrigued. However, once the man entered the palace, his presence was obscured by the palace’s defensive Formation. Through his golden eyes, the clone could only see the expert handing the coffin over to the praetorian before heading deeper into the palace.
As the guy retreated more into the expanse of the palace and its many walls, the clone found it more difficult to follow him and instead focused his attention on the praetorians.
Because of the numerous guards and defensive formations set up around the royal palace, the clone could not gain entry. He waited outside, waiting for a chance to infiltrate.
Before long, a commander of the praetorian emerged, dressed in full regalia. He carried a notice and led a squad of guards, hauling a coffin out of the palace.
Upon reaching the palace gates, they pinned up the Memo for all to see.
The Clone glanced at the Memo and read that it was an announcement to the public about the capture of a female soul cultivator, who would be executed immediately.
After seeing the memo announcement, a large number of martial artists gathered around to read it.
The clone immediately blended himself within the crowd, covertly inspecting the structure of the casket.
Formations sealed the coffin from the inside and the outside, blocking the passage of Divine Soul energy.
Even the genuine energy of martial practitioners was suppressed by these seals.
The clone’s Golden Phantom Eyes revealed Yun Mengyi’s plight within the casket. The room was so cramped from the seals that she could hardly move an inch.
The clone quickly trailed the guards to a stone platform reserved for the purpose of carrying out executions.
The niche on the base was made to fit the casket perfectly.
A crescent-shaped blade hung above it, lining up with a slit on the surface of the coffin.
In the coffin, the slit corresponded precisely to Yun Mengyi’s neck.
In a state of frantic need, the clone’s thoughts raced.
The commander began proclaiming Yun Mengyi’s crimes, accusing her of attacking numerous martial practitioners with her divine soul.
Ye Liuyun attempted to teleport her away using spatial manipulation, but the Formations sealing the coffin blocked his efforts.
Anxious and frustrated, he redirected his efforts towards dismantling the casket apart.
