Chapter 2847: Chapter 2847
Ye Liuyun’s team dominated martial artists below the ninth realm in battle, capturing practically all of them. When faced with large groups of enemies, the Dragon Maiden, Thunder, and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon would block attacks with their bodies.
The speed at which the clone’s team fought was no slower than Ye Liuyun’s. They remained synchronized with each other. Although they had fewer members, they could attack freely without the distraction of protecting others or worrying about injuring their own.
In less than half a month, Ye Liuyun and the clone had captured ten planets, gathering sixteen Unity realm powerhouses and over a thousand martial artists at the ninth Domination realm. The clone’s power of bloodline had been fully replenished by Chi Lian and could no longer absorb any more. Both the Demon Vine and Black Mountain had collected a vast amount of resources and returned to the clone’s spatial world to cultivate.
The two teams then regrouped, redistributing their martial forces. The clone, with the Demon Vine and Black Mountain, stayed behind to protect everyone, while Chi Lian helped enhance their power of bloodline.
Ye Liuyun altered his appearance and formed a new team with Black Tiger and Liao Tianyang, setting out once more. This time, he actively participated in battles, using time-based abilities to attack Unity realm and ninth Domination realm martial artists, capturing allies on a grand scale—a stark contrast to his previous style.
Li Daoyuan, upon learning of the demonic team’s disappearance and its replacement by a two-person, one-beast formation capturing martial artists rampantly, assumed Fang Sihai still had hidden strengths.
"This Fang Sihai sure has prepared well, gathering so many to deal with me!"
Thus, he became even more cautious, refraining from acting rashly, and remained indifferent as Ye Liuyun’s two teams continued capturing planets, focusing instead on expanding his own strength.
When Ye Liuyun and the clone regrouped, they had forty-six Unity realm martial artists and nearly three thousand ninth Domination realm martial artists. They had each secured over forty intact planets.
"The martial artists in this galaxy are really strong!"
Ye Liuyun marveled and ordered the martial artists to rest. He also learned much about the Unity realm from them.
As for Li Daoyuan, Ye Liuyun wasn’t particularly concerned, just cautious during battles to avoid sudden attacks that might harm others.
He wasn’t worried about himself. Li Daoyuan couldn’t harm him now. In terms of spirit, physical body, and bloodline, he was far superior to Li Daoyuan. These were his hidden strengths.
Meanwhile, Li Daoyuan, with a substantial number of Unity realm martial artists, was ready for battle. Watching Ye Liuyun’s growing team, he was beginning to feel restless.
He first sent some martial artists at the Unification Realm, equipped with invisibility treasures, to approach Li Kuo and the others, hoping to capture some prisoners to gather information.
However, these individuals couldn’t escape Ye Liuyun’s Golden Eyes and were instead captured by him, revealing much information about Li Daoyuan.
"Li Daoyuan has gathered over three hundred martial artists at the Unification Realm!"
After extracting this information, Ye Liuyun was quite surprised at Li Daoyuan’s rapid ability to gather so many experts.
Li Daoyuan’s plan was to strike at Ye Liuyun and his doppelgangers when the two teams rendezvoused, aiming to eliminate them in one blow.
Upon learning this, Ye Liuyun thought it over and realized he shouldn’t engage in a direct confrontation with Li Daoyuan. Although reckless on the surface by capturing prisoners, these strong fighters could be used against other races, and a fight to the death with Li Daoyuan would be a waste.
So Ye Liuyun had Ye Tiandao bring those martial artists into his spatial world for her management, while he changed his appearance and went to the planet where Li Daoyuan was, planning to make close contact.
Li Daoyuan was gathering his forces to set out when he suddenly noticed his opponents had vanished. He suspected Fang Sihai was concocting some scheme against him, and thus decided to hold his position, waiting for them to reappear.
Upon arriving on the same planet as Li Daoyuan, Ye Liuyun first wandered around and discovered not only strong martial prowess but also advanced alchemy and artifact-crafting techniques. He pondered a bit and decided to establish an identity for himself to settle in.
He then visited the Alchemist Guild to obtain a junior alchemist qualification. Although he could qualify as an intermediate alchemist, he preferred not to reveal too much of his abilities, needing only a reason to stay.
At Ye Liuyun’s current age, being a junior alchemist, he naturally wouldn’t attract much attention from the guild, which suited his needs perfectly.
Every day, besides completing the guild’s alchemy tasks, he spent his remaining time wandering around Li Daoyuan’s residence dressed in his alchemist robe.
The residence of Li Daoyuan housed over three hundred Unification Realm experts, constantly bustling with activity.
Once familiar with the surroundings, Ye Liuyun prepared to take action, planning to secretly capture a few Unification Realm experts to understand the situation within the residence. With so many experts around, he didn’t dare recklessly extend his divine sense for investigation.
Just as he was about to act, a young woman emerged from the residence, accompanied by several ninth-level dominator guards. The gatekeepers referred to her as "Miss."
"Li Daoyuan’s daughter?" In recent days, Ye Liuyun had been looking into many things about Li Daoyuan and learned that he had a daughter named Li Xinran. To his surprise, he had actually come across her.
So, he immediately changed his target and began following Li Xinran from a distance. Targeting Li Xinran was certainly easier than dealing with the powerful figures, and her identity was also more discreet.
Li Xinran had planned to visit the chamber of commerce today to purchase some special materials for body refining. Normally, she felt quite safe within the city, as everyone knew her. As a result, she hadn’t taken any special precautions, only bringing along her usual guards.
Ye Liuyun waited until she was out of sight, then used his time manipulation abilities and attacked her spirit, imprinting a slave mark on her.
In the process, he probed her soul and discovered that Li Xinran was different from other rich young women. She treated her servants well, never bullied common people, and rarely engaged in mischief with a group of wealthy heirs.
Moreover, she was often dissatisfied with many of Li Daoyuan’s actions and regularly tried to stop him from doing evil deeds. As a result, their father-daughter relationship wasn’t very good, and conflicts between them were frequent.
"I didn’t expect this! Even if I take down Li Daoyuan in the future, I’ll spare this girl," Ye Liuyun contemplated privately.
After being controlled by Ye Liuyun, Li Xinran calmly explained her situation to him, stating that capturing her was useless. Li Daoyuan wouldn’t listen to him, and using her as leverage against Li Daoyuan would be ineffective.
Ye Liuyun assured her, "You don’t need to do anything too complicated. Just help me gather information about the situation within the manor and Li Daoyuan’s movements.
I initially thought you were like those other wealthy girls, arrogant and overbearing, but it turns out you’re quite decent. So rest assured, I won’t harm you, nor will I use you to threaten Li Daoyuan."
