Chapter 2320: Chapter 2320 Capturing the Strong
The people in the city were completely no match for the three of them, utterly powerless to resist.
After a brief consultation, the three swiftly soared off in different directions. Their departure as swift as their arrival, leaving the onlookers in their wake without a second glance.
Ye Liuyun quickly transmitted the image of the flying vessel to Hyan Mutong and inquired.
Hyan Mutong was also startled upon seeing it, "This is a flying vessel used by the strong experts from the Sanctuary Knight expert. Only high-ranking commanders or powerful martial practitioners are allowed to use it!"
"So, they’re experts at the Omnipotent Level!"
Ye Liuyun concluded based on their attack capabilities. However, the distance was too far for him to clearly discern the true level of the three martial practitioners.
"Three?"
Hyan Mutong was also surprised.
However, neither of them had yet realized that the three individuals were heading straight for them.
"Move closer!"
Ye Liuyun ordered Hyan Mutong.
"Yes."
Hyan Mutong responded. Although he was alarmed, he quickly composed himself and commanded the soldiers to steer the warship forward.
"Can this warship withstand the attacks of Omnipotent Level experts?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"It can hold up for about an hour, and it can also fire at them." Hyan Mutong replied.
"Alright. When the time comes, you and your men will stay outside Star Island. Whether it’s a flying vessel or individuals emerging, launch an immediate attack! Be ready for battle at all times!" Ye Liuyun instructed.
"Understood!" Hyan Mutong immediately responded.
Ye Liuyun then secretly notified the Devil Vine to prepare for battle.
Afterward, he briefed Qiong Qi and the others on the situation.
"Since they’ve already scattered, what’s there to be afraid of?" Qiong Qi smiled as he looked at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun immediately understood what he was thinking, "You want to capture them alive?"
"You, your clone, and the four of us including Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang, and myself can’t handle just one?" Qiong Qi retorted with a smile.
"Mm, I think it’s doable. We can also find out what they’re up to!"
Ye Liuyun agreed, feeling the plan was feasible. He quickly made the decision to capture the martial practitioner who had boarded the flying vessel.
Once they captured him, the remaining two would have nowhere to escape.
As they continued their journey, Ye Liuyun kept observing the martial practitioners’ movements. He noticed they seemed to be searching for something. Whenever they encountered a city, they would attack and stir up the people inside. After saying a few words, they would then eliminate the martial practitioners that flew out.
"I think they’re looking for Power of Origin!" Qiong Qi analyzed.
The others nodded in agreement with this theory.
At that moment, Ye Liuyun noticed that the martial practitioners on Star Island were already organizing a counterattack.
Numerous martial practitioners from the cities had gathered together, heading out to intercept or chase down the three intruders. It seemed the people here were relatively united.
Star Island was roughly the same size as the Sirius Realm. However, its population was not large, only about five or six hundred thousand. It was just a bit more than the thirty thousand common people left on the Sirius Realm.
According to Hyan Mutong, Star Island had previously been attacked by their other teams, but he was unsure what the outcome was.
Ye Liuyun quickly noticed that the local martial practitioners had engaged in a fierce battle with the three martial practitoner. However, the strength of the three martial practitioners was overwhelming, and the local forces suffered heavy casualties.
Despite their numerical advantage, the locals managed to force the three martial practitioners out of Star Island, and the invaders fled into space to avoid further attacks.
When they saw Ye Liuyun’s fleet, one of the martial practitioners who had retracted his flying vessel immediately stayed behind. He commanded the other two to regroup and return to Star Island, where they resumed their slaughter of the local martial practitioners.
The combined might of two Omnipotent Level martial practitioners was far more formidable than that of one. Soon, the local martial practitioner quickly found themselves at a disadvantage, with their forces being wiped out one by one.
But soon, the remaining local martial practitioners gathered together and surrounded the two intruders.
The two invaders did not engage in direct combat. Instead, they fled while killing civilians along the way.
Ye Liuyun watched as they slaughtered the people, helpless to do anything. He quickly urged the fleet to move at full speed.
At the same time, he ordered Qiong Qi and the others to prepare, donning the soldiers’ armor for the upcoming confrontation.
After a long journey, Ye Liuyun, Qiong Qi, and few others quickly disembarked from the flying vessel and rushed toward the martial practitioner expert.
The expert raised a token in his hand and waved it toward Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes immediately confirmed that the expert’s cultivation level was indeed at the Omnipotent Level.
Seeing the token, Hyan Mutong quickly transmitted a message to Ye Liuyun, "That’s the military token of the Sanctuary Knights, indicating they are executing the orders of a Grand Commander."
The expert immediately addressed Ye Liuyun and his group, "Which army are you from? We are executing the Grand Commander’s orders and need your cooperation!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Liuyun, his clone, Qiong Qi, and the others disguised themselves as soldiers. They simultaneously launched a Divine Soul attack on him.
"You..." The expert was caught off guard. However, he was unable to perform a counterattack.
The five of them simultaneously sent their Divine Souls into his Ocean of Consciousness, working together to pull his Divine Soul out. They dragged it into Ye Liuyun’s Ocean of Consciousness, where the Universal God Token took control of his Divine Soul. Then, Ye Liuyun placed a Slaving Seal on him.
"To think this martial practitioner doesn’t even have a Divine Soul contract!"
Ye Liuyun thought with surprise. Taking advantage of this, he proceeded to search the expert’s soul to uncover their mission.
"Seems like they’re coming for us!" Ye Liuyun was also quite surprised.
He immediately led everyone back to the warship to discuss their strategy. "These three are all Omnipotent Level experts. They’re the Grand Commanders of the Sanctuary Knight army, sent by Tie Mu to hunt us down. However, it seems like they were also planning to take the Power of Origin from here on their way."
"Not just those three, they’ve also gathered 300,000 troops at Mistlot Island, preparing to attack the Sirius Realm and wipe us out."
Ye Liuyun further introduced the captured martial practitioner. "His name is Lin Wu, an Omnipotent Level expert, who also specializes in Weapon-refining and Formations."
"Truly versatile!" Qiong Qi casually remarked, pulling Lin Wu into Ye Liuyun’s spatial world to examine his skills in Weapon-refining and Formations.
Meanwhile, Yuan Hao and Sui Fenghu suggested capturing the other two Omnipotent Level experts, then heading to Mistlot Island to defeat the 300,000 troops.
However, Sui Fenghu disagreed, arguing that such an approach would result in heavy casualties.
"Even with these three Immortal Realm experts, facing those 300,000 troops would likely lead to a mutual destruction."
Hyan Mutong calmly said, "We are at least a month away from Mistlot Island. By the time we arrive, they should have already set out."
"We cannot chase them yet. They have three warships, and we only have one. If we encounter them in the space, we will suffer a heavy loss."
"Even if we encounter them on land, facing 100,000 enemies versus 300,000 enemies requires a different strategy. With our strength, even if we win, the cost will be devastating!"
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then instructed his clone to enter the Spatial World and confiscate Lin Wu’s interspatial ring. Then, he took out the token and flying vessel from inside.
He then showed these two items to Hyan Mutong.
"With these two items, is there a way to change the situation?" he asked.
