Suddenly, Ji Wujiang’s clothes transformed into men’s attire. A flute appeared on his hand and he fought back using it as weapon.

Ji Wujiang spoke in a normal deep voice, "Ye Liuyun, don’t you forget that I’m the first disciple of the Eastern Royal Management’s Great Expert. It’s not as easy as you think to take me down."

We admit defeat this time. Let me and my mates go immediately. You may still be able to save your lives and live a little longer!"

Upon seeing the handsome man, Ye Tiandao and the Blade Legion were taken aback.

However, Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "You may look fine, but what a pity, you’re an idiot! I’ve killed both of your mates, do you think I’ll bother to spare you?"

"You’ve killed them?" Ji Wujiang hadn’t expected his mates to not have made it out alive.

"Stop with your imaginations. You managed to kill them, but you won’t be able to kill me!"

As he spoke, he played the flute with one hand and defended himself with a shield on the other.

The ground immediately cracked open as zombies began to crawl out.

Meanwhile, behind Ye Liuyun, Su Miaoyin also began to play her flute. The two melodies intertwining slowed down the zombies.

The Blade Legion were no ordinary soldiers either. It only took them a moment to clear the surrounding zombies and continued aiming at Ji Wujiang. Nine people attacked in collaboration, bombarding Ju Wujiang’s shield, forcing him to take a few steps back.

Though Ji Wujiang was of higher realm than Ye Liuyun, his genuine energy was drained due to his spells. He had to constantly guard against the hidden attacks from the clone, showing signs of inability to resist after only a while.

He attempted to use spatial force to escape through the void, but it was not as strong as Ye Liuyun’s. All his attempts were unsuccessful with Ye Liuyun intercepting, without even having a chance to enter into the void.

In desperation, he used earth power to hide underground, only to be stomped out of the ground by the Brute Bull Ye Liuyun released.

In the end, he was left out of options and could only passively take in all attacks.

"Ye Liuyun, are you really determined to fight me to the bitter end?" Ji Wujiang called out helplessly.

"To the bitter end? Do you think you have the strength for that?" Ye Liuyun sneered.

Earlier when Ji Wujiang had claimed that Ye Liuyun was incapable of killing him, he had become cautious and chose not to unleash his divine soul to attack for fear of traps within his ocean of consciousness.

He decided to just continue depleting his genuine energy until Ji Wujiang would be too weak to fight back, and eventually kill him.

Ji Wujiang apparently sensed Ye Liuyun’s intentions and understood that he couldn’t last too long. Yet, he couldn’t break through the regular soldiers surrounding him.

"Ye Liuyun, you’re pushing me to this!"

In a raging roar, Ji Wujiang unleashed a powerful burst of soul power from his ocean of consciousness.

A divine soul in a figure of skull phantom appeared upon their eyes, startling all the surrounding soldiers with its terrifying spiritual pressure.

"You dare to attack the disciple of the mighty Great Expert?" After scanning the surroundings, the phantom’s gaze fell on Ye Liuyun.

"That’s at least a late-eighth-realm soul energy!" Ye Liuyun also felt the strength of its power.

He hadn’t anticipated a divine soul of the Great Expert would be hidden in Ji Wujiang’s ocean of consciousness.

It was fortunate that he hadn’t rashly launched a soul attack earlier, otherwise the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain. Now that it had shown itself, Ye Liuyun no longer had concerns as his clone’s Golden Phantom eyes could eradicate it easily.

Ye Liuyun calmly responded, "So what if he is your disciple? I wouldn’t hesitate to act if you were here too! Continue the attack!"

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers resumed their attack on Ji Wujiang.

"Arrogant peasant! I will make you regret underestimating me, become my puppet at once!" declared the Great Expert as he charged directly into Ye Liuyun’s ocean of consciousness.

However, the moment he stepped into it, he was enveloped by the Universal God Token and began draining the power of his divine soul.

"No wonder you’re so arrogant!" The Great Expert only now realized that he had his trump card against him.

Yet, he did not panic in the slightest. "Going against me means going against the entire Eastern Royal Management. Have you considered the consequences?"

Ye Liuyun’s divine soul nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I have. And so what?"

The Great Expert replied scornfully, "Hmph, ignorant fool! The Eastern Royal Management will place a bounty on your head, all the experts will come for your life! You’re just a fifth-tier, how far can you run?"

"How should I handle it then?" Ye Liuyun asked in feigned fear.

"Your only way to live is to become my puppet, serving at my pleasure!"

He responded with a smug look on his face, believing Ye Liuyun was scared.

However, Ye Liuyun merely smirked, "Well, I think I’ll pass. I am not used to being someone’s puppet!"

"How dare you make a fool of me!" The Great Expert immediately revealed a fierce look.

"Not only did I make a fool of you, but I’m going to wipe out this divine soul of yours too! And what are you going to do about it?"

"How dare you!" He roared in anger.

"I just did!" Ye Liuyun laughed and turned his attention from him to Ji Wujiang’s fight.

At that moment, Ji Wujiang was being besieged, almost unable to defend himself due to exhaustion. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He, too, was watching Ye Liuyun’s situation, waiting for the Great Expert to take him down first so he could then rescue him.

However, what he was met with, was a disdainful smile from Ye Liuyun.

He and his clone’s four divine souls rushed straight into Ji Wujiang’s ocean of consciousness, planted a Slaving Seal on him and then started a search.

As it turns out, although the Great Expert only sent Ji Wujiang and his mates over, but he hid one of his divine soul into his ocean of consciousness as a last resort against Ye Liuyun.

After having control over Ji Wujiang, Ye Liuyun’s divine soul returned to his own ocean of consciousness, and commenced a soul search on the weak soul of the Great Expert.

"Damn brat, how dare you treat me this way! When my true body arrives, I’ll make your life worse than death!" He was still threatening Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun couldn’t be bothered to respond to him, he was in the process of sorting out the information he gained.

The Great Expert’s soul maipulation skill was very formidable, similar to his own Slaving Seal, forcibly imprinting a soul contract on martial practitioners and turning them into puppets.

With this method, he had controlled many powerful individuals and the leaders of great forces.

Moreover, this soul contract surprisingly did not conflict with Ye Liuyun’s Slaving Seal. In other words, a person could be controlled by both Ye Liuyun and the Great Expert in the same time.

However, when the orders conflict, commands from the Slaving Seal will be prioritised.

If all these people came after Ye Liuyun, coupled with a bounty placed by the Eastern Royal Management, the pressure on him would really be considerable.

He directly ordered Ji Wujiang, "Send a message to the Great Expert, tell him that you and his divine soul is now under my control. He shall come forward if he wants both of you back. If he dares to let the Eastern Royal Management place a bounty on my head, I will make you and his divine soul perish at once!"
