Chapter 1581: Chapter 1581 Spy
As Yan Tu and Ghosty Knife felt they were about to die, Ye Liuyun waved the Hundred Refinements Soul Flag, intending to suck them both in.
"Surrender and live, resist and die, the choice is yours!"
Ye Liuyun suddenly changed his mind, giving them a chance.
Originally, Ye Liuyun had no intention of subduing Yan Tu and Ghosty Knife, fearing they would affect Asura’s management of the Yin-souls.
However, now that he had to deal with Burial God, he could use their help.
The assassins Burial God sent to kill him actually harbored a deep hatred for Burial God. Without the constraints of their contracts, they wouldn’t mind giving Burial God a stab in the back.
"We signed Divine Soul contracts with Burial God!" Ghosty Knife said helplessly.
"The Hundred Refinements Soul Flag can erase your contracts!" Ye Liuyun replied. "You can check on the eight-legged spider!"
Upon hearing this, Ghosty Knife and Yan Tu glanced at each other and nodded.
In this situation, resisting further would only lead to a dead end.
They had been severely beaten in just one encounter, and continuing would undoubtedly result in their deaths. Surrendering and joining Ye Liuyun to fight Burial God seemed like a better choice.
Compared to killing Ye Liuyun, they were more interested in eliminating the Burial God.
Additionally, seeing so many Sacred Majesty ninth-level martial practitioners by Ye Liuyun’s side gave them hope.
So, the two of them obediently entered the Hundred Refinements Soul Flag, becoming Ye Liuyun’s puppets.
"Master..." Asura didn’t want to manage these two Yin-souls, as they would not obey her.
"I understand your concerns. I’ll let them rest for a while first, and then I’ll have them go find Burial God," Ye Liuyun explained to Asura.
"Ask them to find Burial God?" Asura was puzzled.
Ye Liuyun smiled. "Let them catch Burial God off guard!"
Asura finally understood. Ye Liuyun intended to plant spies.
"But if their Divine Soul contracts disappear, won’t Burial God know?" Asura asked.
"He won’t necessarily confirm that they’ve betrayed him. If they die, their contracts will disappear too!" Ye Liuyun said.
Asura thought for a moment, then nodded in realization.
"Burial God currently thinks they’re dead. If they suddenly appear, Burial God will surely be curious. That’s when they can strike!"
"Exactly!" Ye Liuyun nodded. "Alternatively, they can pretend to cooperate with Burial God in capturing me. Then, at the critical moment, they strike. We don’t need them to kill Burial God. Just severely wound him when the time comes!"
"Alright! I’ll inform them to maintain some injuries, not fully healing!" Asura said happily.
Ye Liuyun then waved the Soul Flag, retracting all the Yin-souls.
He quietly resumed his cultivation before releasing a group of Yin-souls to guard.
His clone returned to the Xuankong Stone and continued to cultivate. He tried to improve a little bit before he fought with the Burial God.
Meanwhile, three Ghostic Warships were swiftly advancing through the Fog Sea...
As anticipated by Ye Liuyun, Burial God quietly followed these ships into the Fog Sea.
He had only asked a few Yin-souls to hunt down Ye Liuyun as a pretense. His goal was to trap Ye Liuyun to death in the Fog Sea with this treasure.
He had deployed his strategy while Ye Liuyun was battling the Wild Boar King.
After ensuring everything was in place, he waited patiently, only springing into action when the Divine Soul contracts of the five Yin-souls he had dispatched disappeared, confirming their deaths at Ye Liuyun’s hands.
With this confirmation, Burial God knew Ye Liuyun was trapped inside.
Thus, he commanded the three Ghostic Warships to enter the Fog Sea.
He had also summoned back the Yin-souls that had been sent out to kill Ye Liuyun. He was confident this time he would succeed in eliminating Ye Liuyun, so there was no need to keep his Yin-souls elsewhere.
Once inside the Fog Sea, he reconnected with the Death Mark, searching for Ye Liuyun’s location.
The Yin-souls around Ye Liuyun sensed the Ghostic Warships’ arrival.
Simultaneously, Ye Liuyun’s death mark detected Burial God’s presence.
Ye Liuyun immediately released Yan Tu and Ghosty Knife from the Soul Flag.
"I’m giving you a chance to assassinate Burial God! Return to him and wait for the opportunity to strike. You can either attack him directly when he’s close or gain his trust and strike at the critical moment."
Ye Liuyun instructed them.
"To make Burial God trust us, shouldn’t we bring back some useful information?" Yan Tu suggested.
Neither of them wanted to take the risk alone.
However, once they entered the Hundred Refinements Soul Flag, they would be controlled by Ye Liuyun. They had no choice but to do as he said. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Ye Liuyun also provided them with information. "The Burial God is heading in this direction. You can tell him that when he gets closer, I will return to the Formation that has been set up beforehand!
"You can also tell the Burial God that Asura has already surrendered to me, and he also has a large army of thousands of Yin-souls. They are all in the Sacred Terra realm." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Then how do we explain to the Burial God that our Divine Soul contract has disappeared?" Ghosty Knife asked.
"Just tell him you’ve been absorbed by the Hundred Refinements Soul Flag, but you weren’t absorbed into it. Tell him you didn’t know how the Divine Soul Contract has been erased!" Ye Liuyun made up an excuse for them.
In any case, he didn’t want these two people to stay. It would be best if they could muddle through, but it wouldn’t be a pity if they couldn’t and be killed by the Burial God.
Then he added, "The Burial God will definitely be suspicious. But it’s just a suspicion. He’s in need of people now. He won’t kill you immediately."
"What if he forced us to sign a Divine Soul contract again?" Yan Tu asked.
"You’re already free, so it’s normal for you to reject him immediately. You’ve done your best to help him, it’s unlikely for him to make such a request," said Ye Liuyun.
In the end, they reluctantly agreed, realizing they had no choice but to go.
However, they found they did have some chance of success.
"What about this arrow wound?" Ghosty Knife pointed to the hole pierced through him by Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun raised his hand, retracting the power of the Buddha’s halo from it. Nevertheless, he replied, "Leave some injuries visible. It’ll make the story more believable!"
"Alright, I’ll keep this wound!" Ghosty Knife agreed.
As long as he was not eroded by the power of the Buddha’s halo, he would soon recover from the injury.
