Ye Liuyun returned to his own flying boat after speaking, ignoring Jiang Yuantang’s protests no matter how he objected. He even activated the flying boat’s array that blocked divine sense, making it impossible for Jiang Yuantang to send voice transmissions inside.
The demonic vine and those two puppet beasts cared even less about what Jiang Yuantang had to say.
When the demonic vine found his shouting annoying, it simply continued absorbing his energy, frightening him into silence.
With no other choice, Jiang Yuantang could only take out healing pills and consume them first, then take out a voice transmission talisman and make arrangements according to Ye Liuyun’s instructions.
He now truly understood that Ye Liuyun genuinely didn’t care about him as a Divine King. If he dared to play tricks, Ye Liuyun might actually kill him without hesitation.
Before long, Cui Daoran wiped out all fifty thousand praetorian. The first clone retrieved them into his spatial world and returned with the invisible Xuanwu ferocious beast.
Ye Liuyun also began retrieving the cultivators and black-armored elite soldiers around him into his spatial world for rest. He took out the nearly destroyed great hall they had captured and temporarily moved in with Luo Yu and the demonic wolf.
He and his clone would leave one person outside to monitor the surroundings in turns. Now that the void seal had been lifted from the starry sky, he could leave at any time using the teleportation black tower. Using this great hall as cover meant he wouldn’t be discovered when departing.
The corpses collected along the way were all distributed to those peak ninth-level ferocious beasts.
"After you collect the ransom, will you really release him?" Luo Yu asked curiously at this moment.
"Of course. I said I wanted ransom—how could I still keep him!" Ye Liuyun said affirmatively.
"Aren’t you afraid he’ll retaliate against you?" Luo Yu reminded Ye Liuyun.
"Even if I keep him alive, Fire Seal Dynasty will still retaliate against me! As for Jiang Yuantang—I defeated him once, so I can defeat him a second time, a third time!" Ye Liuyun said domineeringly, completely unconcerned about Jiang Yuantang’s revenge.
Luo Yu looked at Ye Liuyun’s confident appearance and couldn’t help but admire him greatly.
Jiang Yuantang had never thought to carry a teleportation array disk on himself either. So no matter how fast the dynasty sent resources over, they couldn’t arrive by tomorrow morning without delay being inevitable anyway.
The demonic vine wasn’t polite either—it directly began absorbing Jiang Yuantang’s true essence again until his cultivation dropped back to mid-stage Return One Ninth Level in rage from this humiliation,
Jiang Yuantang angrily launched soul attacks against
the demonic vine but failed find its soul However when released soul attack moment left defenseless without protective treasure covering knowledge sea—Ye used Red Pupil illusion technique force reveal all carried resources stored within spatial world
In hands held considerable cultivation resources including zombie puppet Seeing useless expose kept hidden reserve card
This zombie puppet identical previously captured ones crafted royal refiner using countless metal materials slowly refined over years Its physical body impervious damage from void-grade second-tier puppets
Ye collected zombie puppet along with cultivation resources leaving nothing behind except few healing pills single voice transmission talisman Even defensive treasure knowledge sea made surrender shield capable wrapping protecting entire soul void-grade third-tier soul defense artifact
This shield blocked Nether Ghost Flame soul poison released demonstrating formidable defensive capabilities Like golden spear both accidentally obtained treasures subordinates Fire Seal Dynasty refiners incapable producing such high-grade soul attack defense artifacts
Golden spear shield directly given Dragon Girl ensuring future protection against soul attacks
Jiang Yuangtang intestines turned green regret If hadn’t underestimated moving personally palace king How many dynasty treasures resources available hated carrying more wouldn’t fallen situation
But no matter shouted argued ignored Facing three puppets lacking divine sense fluctuations plus demonic vine nowhere vent anger feared continued absorption true essence Could only constantly urge resource delivery speed full arrival
Finally recognized terrifying opponent However merely considered ruthless rather acknowledging strength Instead believed surrounding subordinates posed greater threat Thinking eliminating helpers would make dealing easier afterward considering future countermeasures despite anticipated heavy costs definitely wouldn’t abandon technique pursuit " possesses teleportation treasure escape anytime Without sealing space capture difficult Must devise method preventing random escape forcing direct confrontation"
Suddenly recalled numerous Buddha-light cultivators nearby reminded Demon-Expelling Star System not far Fire Seal Star System
Ye Liuyun also estimated that Jiang Yuantang definitely wouldn’t let go of that cultivation technique, nor could he swallow this humiliation.
Actually, he wasn’t set on making a fortune from this technique either, but he wanted the Fire Seal Dynasty to figure out a way to screen those who learned it. He simply didn’t want people with poor character breaking through to the Taixu realm, especially these high-and-mighty royal family members.
He understood such people—they wouldn’t sit down for a proper talk until you beat them into submission. However, he never expected that Jiang Yuantang would start scheming about the Exorcist Star System.
What occupied Ye Liuyun’s mind more was how to improve his own strength. He knew he had relied heavily on external forces in this battle with Jiang Yuantang; his soul power, heaven and earth energy, and spatial abilities were still considerably lacking. If Jiang Yuantang hadn’t underestimated him this time, he wouldn’t have even touched him.
Previously, only his black-and-white light could deal with Jiang Yuantang—his other powers still needed continuous improvement.
Another day passed before Jiang Yuantang’s subordinates finally arrived and delivered the resources. But because they were somewhat late, Jiang Yuantang’s cultivation realm had already been drained by Devil Vine to drop to early ninth level.
Jiang Yuantang now hated Ye Liuyun with burning fury in his heart, yet dared not show it; he could only endure.
The ones delivering the resources didn’t dare play any tricks either, following the Fire Seal King’s requirements completely—they retreated far away immediately after delivering the goods.
After Ye Liuyun received the resources, he waited until everyone had withdrawn beyond a day’s distance before having Devil Vine release Jiang Yuantang. He then summoned both the puppet beast and Devil Vine back into the great hall. After a wave of spatial fluctuation, there was no further movement.
Jiang Yuantang guessed that Ye Liuyun had already left before having people come carry him back to the royal palace for healing.
But even during his recovery, he didn’t remain idle—immediately sending people to secretly investigate the Exorcist Star System.
