Ye Liuyun absorbed the Long Spring Liquid, briefly distributed the resources, and then led his people to continue searching for more.
Their next major target was Hong Tianwang’s study. It was said that the study itself was a treasure, containing triple time flow inside that could accelerate one’s cultivation speed.
Ye Liuyun and his group didn’t particularly care about the time acceleration function of this study. His clone’s spatial world had tenfold time acceleration, and Ye Liuyun himself knew methods to accelerate time, so he was more interested in whether there were other valuable items in the study, and whether that cultivation technique manual was inside.
They arrived at the study without incident. There were no formations outside the study, saving Ye Liuyun the trouble of breaking through them.
But he and Luo Yu still waited from a distance, keeping over sixty powerful experts around himself while sending those forty-something scout cultivators ahead to investigate first.
As soon as they opened the study door, two black-clad figures appeared wielding daggers and instantly killed two of the experts who had opened the door.
Then those two black-clad figures moved with ghostly movements, sometimes ethereal as they slaughtered those cultivators with full force.
The scout cultivators attacked those two black-clad figures with Heaven and Earth power, Spatial Force, and soul attacks. Though people were still being killed occasionally, they finally managed to restrict them within an encirclement.
"Peak Ninth Level demon beasts with strong Spatial Force and Heaven and Earth power!"
Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils saw clearly—they were two Black Viper demons transformed into human form. The daggers were made of bone and coated with deadly poison.
Moreover these two demons carried treasures defending against soul attacks. For a moment those experts couldn’t break through their defenses. And since these two kept moving it was difficult to pin down their positions.
"Use Spatial Force to lock them down then launch soul attacks together to pry open their defensive treasures!"
Ye Liuyun immediately spoke up organizing those cultivators for unified action.
Under his command those cultivators unleashed Spatial Force together finally locking down those two demons then all released soul power trying to break through their soul-defending treasures.
And those two demons knowing they couldn’t defeat so many opponents immediately began burning their core pills intending to self-destruct.
Ye Liuyun examined their soul strength which was roughly comparable to his own—he estimated even using temporal power his single soul wouldn’t gain any advantage so he immediately used slave seals to notify surrounding cultivators to join forces in defense.
With a thunderous explosion though all those cultivators were exerting themselves in defense still two peak Ninth Level demon beasts self-destructing sent some nearby cultivators flying but only some injuries no deaths occurred.
Ye Liuyun waved his hand absorbing their daggers over then casually gave them to Songstress and Little Lan’er.
Then he shouted toward the study "Come out how long are you going to wait?"
And at this shout all the cultivators tensed up again focusing intently on that study. The door had been casually shut by those two demons earlier so they couldn’t see inside but Ye Liuyun already sensed another powerful yin spirit within probably a former expert who could conceal himself like a bodyguard in life Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils hadn’t seen him but could sense his presence through yin spirit aura
And at this moment that yin spirit flashed appearing before the study door And when he appeared all gasped—this yin spirit’s form twice as large as their strongest souls nearly matching Ye Liuyun
The yin spirit now somewhat conflicted He could sense Lord of Underworld aura from Ye Liuyun yet his mission demanded guarding here preventing Evil Creature from entering
Yet Ye Liouyun wasn’t worried at all He simply asked "Will you go Underworld Or stubbornly dissipate completely here Hongtian Dynasty fell years ago impossible restore You’ve guarded here years fulfilled duty Eventually broken by others Clinging old commands meaningless"
After speaking Ye waited response
The yin spirit hesitated finally threw dagger ground stopped resisting
At this moment First Clone summoned Zhuge Feiyu bringing Hundred Refinement Soul Banner rushing over
Ye released Zhuge Feiyu letting him first use Hundred Refinement Soul Banner absorb that yin spirit
"Now you have a peak Return to Origin Ninth Heaven ghost guardian by your side too!" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Haha, actually, ever since we started following you, we’ve already had plenty of Return to Origin Ninth Heaven soldiers! Just rest assured. Now, Shura’s army can sweep through the entire Underworld—no one dares to make a move against us!" Zhuge Feiyu also laughed.
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun felt relieved. He put Zhuge Feiyu back into his spatial world and had his clone briefly explain the situation in the Taixu World so he’d have some idea of what to expect before sending him back.
Ye Liuyun then acted as if nothing had happened, sending someone inside to confirm whether there were any remaining dangers. He also casually absorbed the ghost’s dagger over and gave it to Xenocide.
"The Underworld? You actually have ghosts in your possession?" Luo Yu had long been shocked—she hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to subdue that ghost so easily.
This time, she clearly sensed some ghostly aura erupting from Ye Liuyun’s body. She also hadn’t expected that such a powerful ghost wouldn’t even dare to fight him.
"No, it’s just that the Soul Banner can nurture ghosts, that’s all!" Ye Liuyun certainly wouldn’t admit anything in front of her and brushed it off casually.
At this moment, the martial cultivator who had gone in to investigate came out and reported to Ye Liuyun that there were no other dangers inside.
"Go in and search for that cultivation technique!" Ye Liuyun immediately diverted Luo Yu’s attention and walked toward the study first.
Luo Yu could tell he didn’t want to talk about it, so she suppressed her curiosity and quickly followed behind.
However, after searching around, they couldn’t find that cultivation technique. There was a mysterious turtle shell on the wall—Ye Liuyun saw that its grade was quite high. He took it out and struck it hard with his Demon-Slaying Blade but couldn’t even leave a mark on it, so he directly gave the turtle shell to Ye Tiandao for her to use as a shield.
On the desk was a Wind-Thunder Fan—a fifth-grade Void-tier treasure—which Ye Liuyun gave to Demon Lion so he wouldn’t be discovered while stealing things in the future due to insufficient defense or attack power.
There was also a vase with considerable internal space that could hold plenty of liquid; Ye Liuyun collected it and handed it over to Lan Xin for processing.
The desk and chair both had some functions for refining one’s soul; Ye Liuyun felt they weren’t as good as the Soul-Condensing Jade Bed he had obtained earlier and couldn’t be bothered collecting them, so he let Luo Yu have them instead.
As for the remaining items, Ye Liuyun was even less interested and directly left the study, contemplating their next move toward the main hall.
