Ye Liuyun and his clone both used the crimson pupils on their divine souls to launch illusion attacks on the charging martial cultivators, making them all stop before Ye Liuyun. Then they handed over their storage rings to the clone. Even the resources within their spatial worlds were taken out.

After Ye Liuyun’s divine soul grew stronger, using the crimson pupils on his divine soul was almost enough to trap anyone in an illusion with just a glance, and it was often a double illusion at that. Martial cultivators with insufficient divine soul strength simply couldn’t break free from his illusion control.

Even those two martial cultivators with powerful divine souls, because their main combat divine souls were damaged, failed to escape his illusions and threw over their storage rings filled with resources.

Then, the clone planted slave seals on the other eight relatively strong martial cultivators, erasing their previous contracts and sending them back to the military camp to report to Li Zhaoyuan. He then casually swung his blade and cut the two collapsed soul cultivators in half.

"Treason! This is treason! How dare you kill an official of the dynasty! Commander of the Imperial Guard, lead the troops and destroy them immediately!"

Liao Fengxian and the others hadn’t expected that these ten powerful martial cultivators would be so easily taken down by Ye Liuyun.

However, they didn’t know it was Ye Liuyun who acted, because Ye Liuyun had remained motionless on the snow wolf’s back the entire time. They thought it was the commander beside Ye Liuyun who made the move.

So the commander of the Imperial Guard immediately led the Imperial Guard charging toward the clone.

The clone also charged toward him while using the crimson pupils of his divine soul to cast an illusion on the Imperial Guard commander, instantly controlling him and leaving him standing frozen in place, then killed him with a single blade strike.

Cui Daoran also immediately commanded his subordinates to charge at the Imperial Guard.

"That’s it? The dynasty only sent these ten martial cultivators to deal with me? They really underestimate me!" Ye Liuyun still felt unsatisfied in his heart; he hadn’t even done much himself.

He glanced at the battle involving Cui Daoran and his men, and found that the bandit group martial cultivators Cui Daoran brought out were all fighting desperately. The Imperial Guard, clearly having stayed in the royal city too long, were fine for intimidating people, but their combat awareness had become very poor.

Once both sides engaged, it immediately became apparent that their combat experience was clearly insufficient. Faced with these fearless bandits, they became somewhat flustered, and their formation was immediately disrupted.

"These praetorian are nothing special. They can manage when outnumbering others, but on a real battlefield, they simply wouldn’t adapt!" Ye Liuyun silently assessed in his heart.

However, to reduce losses, he still released two thousand elite soldiers to surround the Imperial Guard. Xiao Heng received Ye Liuyun’s order to hold his position; these men alone were enough to annihilate this Imperial Guard unit.

The clone charged toward the Sixth Prince and Liao Fengxian. But upon seeing the situation turning bad, the two immediately retreated, hiding themselves among the Imperial Guard.

Seeing their panicked expressions, the clone guessed they probably had no trump cards left. So he didn’t force the matter, immediately leading those elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the Imperial Guard.

At this moment, the first clone left to monitor in the starry sky discovered another warship approaching, with a hundred thousand golden-armored Imperial Guard inside.

There were also twenty powerful martial cultivators in the warship, including ten killers from the dynasty’s assassin squad.

"Not sending anyone with real strength to deal with me!" Ye Liuyun sighed, immediately spurring the snow wolf to charge toward Jiang Yunfei, wielding the Demon-Slaying Blade to clear a path for the snow wolf.

His bloodline pressure spread out, his blade intent fully unleashed, combined with divine essence—these praetorian couldn’t block a single strike from him, all being cleaved apart by his blade.

He wanted to resolve the battle here quickly, then go deal with the other hundred thousand Imperial Guard.

Seeing the Imperial Guard unable to stop Ye Liuyun, Jiang Yunfei immediately shouted toward him: "Ye Liuyun, it was all the dynasty’s decision to move against you, it has nothing to do with me! I’m a prince, you can’t kill me!"

Ye Liuyun, however, used the crimson pupils of his divine soul on him from afar, making him attack Liao Fengxian beside him.

Jiang Yunfei also raised his hand and struck Liao Fengxian with a palm, sending him falling to the ground vomiting blood, then the charging snow wolf smashed him with a claw. Liao Fengxian hadn’t even reacted to why Jiang Yunfei would attack him before he perished.

Ye Liuyun also shouted toward Jiang Yunfei: "Fool! I let you go last time because I couldn’t be bothered with you, did you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"

"You dare kill me?" Jiang Yunfei still couldn’t quite believe it, tilting his neck up to provoke Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, however, curled up the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to deliver a blade strike.

"Tired of living? I’ll grant your wish!"

With Ye Liuyun’s cold shout, that blade of his also cleaved down.

"How dare you!"

Jiang Yunfei cried out in alarm, his voice sharp with panic.

He could sense the blade intent and surging divine energy within Ye Liuyun’s strike, realizing that this blow could truly kill him—that Ye Liuyun wasn’t merely trying to frighten him.

So his power of bloodline erupted violently throughout his body, attempting to suppress Ye Liuyun. At the same time, he released nearly a hundred mid-to-late Ninth Heaven cultivators from his spatial world.

However, these people emerged too suddenly and had no idea what was happening outside. In his moment of crisis, Jiang Yunfei hadn’t even had time to tell them whom to attack.

Ye Liuyun simply waved his hand and released five hundred elite soldiers, surrounding the hundred men and leaving them too afraid to move.

By now, Jiang Yunfei had already been sent flying by Ye Liuyun’s blade.

"Argh!"

Jiang Yunfei screamed as Ye Liuyun’s blade sent him hurtling backward with a thunderous crash.

He possessed a protective divine artifact, so Ye Liuyun’s strike didn’t kill him outright—it merely shook him severely, leaving him collapsed on the ground, unable to rise.

As for the bloodline pressure emanating from him, it was indeed formidable, nearly matching Ye Liuyun’s own. Ye Liuyun estimated that this power of bloodline had likely reached Void Transcendence realm standards.

"It seems Jiang Yuntian’s power of bloodline might be even stronger than his!" Ye Liuyun immediately thought of Jiang Yuntian.

But trying to intimidate Ye Liuyun with mere bloodline pressure was obviously futile.

Ye Liuyun’s hand didn’t stop. He swung his blade toward Jiang Yunfei once more.

"Ye Liuyun, have you lost your mind?! If you kill me, my father The Prince will never let you go!" Jiang Yunfei warned him urgently as he saw another strike coming.

"Then let’s see if I truly dare to kill you!" Ye Liuyun remained unconcerned, immediately following up with another slash.

"Idiot!"

Ye Liuyun cursed and struck again.

"Boom, boom..."

After several thunderous impacts, Jiang Yunfei was left disheveled and blood-mouthed, his wretched appearance worse than a beggar’s, completely stripped of his princely dignity.

"Please, don’t kill me—I’ll give you all my resources!"

Jiang Yunfei could barely catch his breath from Ye Liuyun’s relentless assault, forcibly holding back the blood threatening to spew from his mouth as he begged for mercy.

"You have no right to negotiate with me. Hand over the resources!" Ye Liuyun commanded immediately.

By now, the remaining praetorian had begun to surrender. The two thousand elite soldiers led by Ye Liuyun’s clone and Cui Daoran’s two thousand bandits had slaughtered nearly half of them. The survivors were surrounded and had no choice but to surrender.
