Chapter 2287: Chapter 2287 Execution Platform Rescue
The Clone pondered that since the coffin was a treasure, someone must be controlling it.
If he could erase the controller’s Divine Sense imprint, he could take control of the coffin and use Hyper Hop to store it away.
Nonetheless, he was also aware that the controller of the casket would quickly detect the situation and rush over to intervene.
In the blink of an eye, he put on his Concealcape and sent a bolt of Divine Soul energy flying through the air, quickly wiping the Formation seal from the casket. He effortlessly Hyper Hopped the casket into his Spatial World with a simple wave of his wrist.
Subsequently, he concealed his aura and quickly slipped away from the crowd.
"Who’s there?"
The praetorian’s Commander immediately sensed that someone had stolen the coffin. He distinctly felt a powerful surge of Divine Soul moments ago.
But his strength was insufficient, and he failed to locate the clone no matter how hard he tried.
The martial artists who had flocked to the event started to freak out, scattering in all directions, afraid to be implicated. The praetorian made an effort to stop them, but their numbers were too overwhelming to be contained.
At that moment, the expert who fought with Yun Mengyi burst out of the palace once again.
By the time he arrived at the execution platform, the clone was long gone. The crowd had dispersed in chaos, and he had no idea whom to pursue.
"That woman has accomplices!" the man concluded in rage.
"How dare they disrupt an execution in Capital! Seal the gates and search the entire city!" The praetorian commander barked his orders, commanding for the city lock down.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had already explained the situation to Liang Xue and the others. To prevent them from being implicated, he quickly transported them into his Spatial World.
When the clone returned, he entered the Spatial World and brought out Yun Mengyi.
Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun activated the Conveyor Formation to send the coffin directly to Xuan Yuanling, instructing her to have it examined by a weapon-refining master.
He was wary that the coffin might bear some tracking mark, and sending it away immediately would put his mind at ease.
Yun Mengyi stared at Ye Liuyun in utter disbelief.
Her eyes fixated on him as he sent the coffin away. She wavered between the truth of the scenario and the likelihood that she was ensnared in someone else’s delusion.
Ye Liuyun didn’t introduce Yun Mengyi to Liang Xue and the rest until after he had done the transportation.
Yun Mengyi stared at them blankly.
Ye Liuyun then briefly explained his reason for coming here and how he had encountered her.
Tears began to fall from Yun Mengyi’s eyes as he concluded his statement. Clinging tenaciously to Ye Liuyun, she dove herself into his embrace.
She murmured, "I’ve been looking for you for a long time! I don’t care if this is all a delusion. I won’t let go of you now that I’ve found you again."
With Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, and the others watching, Ye Liuyun’s discomfort was palpable. He cast a helpless glance towards Wu Qingcheng, quietly pleading for her assistance.
The other women understood right away that Yun Mengyi was just another woman who was deeply infactuated with Ye Liuyun.
Wu Qingcheng sighed and comforted Yun Mengyi with the rest of them. After a long while, Yun Mengyi finally calmed down.
Yun Mengyi started telling her story after she had collected herself.
After Ye Liuyun had taught her the method to cultivate her Divine Soul power, her abilities had grown rapidly. She first secured a leadership position within her family, then led her clan to expand their influence until they became one of the major powers in their world.
However, despite their growing strength, their mastery of Formation was still lacking. They were unable to reopen the passage portal.
Thus, Yun Mengyi once again immersed herself in cultivation, breaking through to the Immortal Realm and eventually arriving in the God Realm. The spot she arrived at was none other than the Moyana Island.
As a woman who had just entered the God Realm, she faced numerous dangers and hardships, but she endured them all. In her heart, she held onto the unwavering belief that she would meet Ye Liuyun again.
She started to aimlessly roam, asking where Ye Liuyun was after her power had stabilised.
But everywhere she went, people discriminated against her because of her identity as a soul cultivator. Hence, she had to keep a low profile and conceal her power.
It wasn’t until she felt that her Divine Soul had surpassed that of a ninth-level martial practitioner that she finally made her way to the Regalty of the Elysium Dynasty to search for Ye Liuyun.
But just as she released her Divine Soul power to scan the city with her divine sense, she was detected by a powerful expert from the Royal Court.
After several encounters, she was eventually apprehended by that expert.
This was mainly because her cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Immortal Realm, which was a significant gap compared to her Divine Soul. This was also the reason she was initially overlooked by the Royal Court’s expert.
As Liang Xue and the others probed for details, they discovered the complete narrative of how Yun Mengyi and Ye Liuyun had crossed paths.
"Sigh," Liang Xue sighed, feeling both sympathy and helplessness towards this woman.
The other women understood the meaning behind that sigh. It seemed that Yun Mengyi was about to join their club.
Ye Liuyun looked at the group of women with an innocent expression, as if to plead it wasn’t his fault!
For the time being, Liang Xue and the others could do nothing except sigh with resignation and focus on settling Yun Mengyi for now.
Meanwhile, in Regalty, the city gates and Conveyor Formation had all been closed, and all the soldiers were conducting thorough searches.
Ye Liuyun, however, calmly took out his Alchemy furnace set and began to work on refining some Elixirs.
In the God Realm, his alchemy skills weren’t anything special, but in this world, he was undeniably an eighth-level Alchemist.
So when the soldiers came to inspect and discovered that Ye Liuyun was indeed a level eight Alchemist capable of crafting eighth-grade Elixirs, they dared not offend him. After failing to find any trace of Yun Mengyi, they retreated a moment later.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun’s clone, using the Phantom Illusion, transformed into the image of his runner. Every day, he ventured out to procure daily necessities and gather information about the city.
The Clone noticed that the Royal Court had dispatched numerous martial practitioners with formidable Divine Soul power.
Although these individuals concealed their Divine Soul strength, they couldn’t escape the piercing gaze of the Clone’s Golden Phantom Eyes.
This further confirmed Ye Liuyun’s suspicions. The Elysium Dynasty was secretly bolstering its influence. They possessed the power to unify the various dynasties, but their hesitation likely stemmed from fear of opposition from the numerous martial practitioners and the potential alliance of the other two dynasties.
Ye Liuyun surmised that the Elysium Dynasty was likely courting another dynasty to strike at the other, aiming to conquer them one by one with minimal cost.
At about this time, Ye Liuyun received a message from Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi was the one who made a move on the Emerald Essence Liquid. But each of his attempts had been thwarted by experts, leading to a chase. This indicated that the three dynasties were highly vigilant in protecting the spiritual Spring.
Ye Liuyun knew that Qiong Qi was cunning and that with his mastery in formations, he would surely evade his pursuers.
Without delay, Ye Liuyun ordered Zhao Hu, Mo Tianheng, Mo Shaowen, and Liu Yang to cause chaos within the Grandcrest Dynasty so that they would be distracted from their plans to form an alliance with the Elysium Dynasty. Since sending additional troops to the Emerald Spring would only draw the experts’ attention, he decided it was pointless to do so.
Ye Liuyun instead ordered his clone to transport the elite Blade Legion to meet up with Qiong Qi via the Black Tower. To test the mettle of the experts of the three dynasties, he plotted a daring attack.
After meeting with Qiong Qi, the clone didn’t rush into action. Instead, they clandestinely scouted out neighbouring towns, stocking up on native attire and weaponry so that the soldiers could blend in and remain undetected.
