Ma Wencai thought those four divine souls all belonged to Ye Liuyun, completely oblivious to the difference of his clone.

Ye Liuyun didn’t bother explaining, but simply recalled his clone back to his spatial world.

"Do you know the level of the people sent by the Northsky Sect?"

"Master, they consist of some elders and disciples. The strongest among them is a mid-seventh-tier elder." After being marked as Ye Liuyun’s servant, Ma Wencai immediately became obedient.

"Hand over your control of the Northsky Sect’s secret realm to me! Once they arrive, let all the disciples into the realm for cultivation, and I will deal with them," Ye Liuyun commanded directly.

"Yes, master!" Ma Wencai dared not to resist and handed over his control to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun only took control of the secret realm but did not move it elsewhere.

He took full control over by marking every single one of the Northsky Sect disciples in it with a Slaving Seal, then kept them in here as a bait to lure more of them that would come as reinforcements.

Next, he had Ma Wencai bring over the elders and stewards of the Northsky Sect one by one and mark them as well.

Ye Liuyun planned to take control of a large number of their elders and disciples, thereby hollowing out the Sect.

While waiting for the reinforcements, Ye Liuyun did not waste his time. Instead, he ordered the demi-beasts to harass the only territory not under their control of the battlefield.

It was a plantation base of the Shui family, a subfamily under the Fairy Clan.

The Fairy Clan was not only a leading power in the east but also throughout the entire God Realm. Their subfamily Shui was also one of the most renowed.

No one dared to provoke them, so their strongest martial practitioner here was only early-sixth-realm.

The person in charge was a legitimate daughter from the family, Shui Bingyue.

Being a woman, she was not highly esteemed within her family, which led to her being exiled to such a remote and disorganized location.

The family had set up several plantation bases for the Fairy Clan, this one being the farthest from home and the worst in conditions.

These days, Shui Bingyue had been worrying about how she could return to her family.

The recent changes in the battlefield also made her feel the danger getting close. It was clear that Ye Liuyun’s Dark Legion wanted to unify the entire border battlefield.

As early as when he had taken action against Dong Linghou, she had sensed Ye Liuyun’s ambition.

Then Dong Linghou suddenly took action against Northsky Sect. She was initially confused, not understanding why he was standing against them.

It wasn’t until she received news that the demi-beasts had come to stir trouble in her territory, did she abruptly realize that Ye Liuyun probably had taken over the territories of both the Eastern Royal Management and Northsky Sect.

However, Ye Liuyun executed his plans in such discreet way, and did not plunder the resources of the two sides. Thus, many thought it was just a misunderstanding between the both powers.

But after Shui Bingyue investigated, she found out that the peripheries of these two forces had already been occupied by Ye Liuyun.

What shocked her even more was that they didn’t make a sound about it.

At this moment, she had already understood that it was very likely that Ye Liuyun had used some ways to control the persons in charge of these two major forces here.

Now, the Shui family was the last one standing in the battlefield.

And the demi-beasts’ provocation was a sign of Ye Liuyun preparing to make his move against her.

With the news, some of her men advocated to fight back.

"It doesn’t matter whether we fight back or giving up our territory, we’ll only be giving Ye Liuyun the opportunity to move on! The best method is to directly meet Ye Liuyun and negotiate face to face!"

Shui Bingyue immediately sent someone to arrange a meeting with Ye Liuyun.

At the same time, she also gathered some of her powerful men and martial practitioners in important positions, instructing them to bring items that could resist soul attacks, not excluding herself.

Ye Liuyun was also glad to keep the appointment with the Clan.

Shui Bingyue usually kept a low profile, so Ye Liuyun doesn’t have much information about her. He planned to get to know her more before making his move.

But when he arrived, he was surprised to find that all the related personnel were equipped with defense jewelleries.

He immediately thought, "Shui Bingyue is not simple at all. She even prepared in advance to defend against my soul attacks."

The Shui family’s residence was quite simple, just a rather large mansion with no city walls.

Ye Liuyun was directly led into the main hall of the mansion, and Shui Bingyue personally came to the entrance to welcome him.

"Ms. Shui, you are too polite! I am just the captain of a mercenary group, how dare I trouble you to greet me in person!" Ye Liuyun quickly said politely.

The Shui family had been the most powerful force in the battlefield, they definitely didn’t need to be polite with Ye Liuyun.

But Shui Bingyue didn’t dare to take Ye Liuyun lightly. "Commander Ye, you mustn’t be too humble. You’re now the star of the battlefield, while I’m just but a woman, I’ll definitely need some help from you in the future!"

"Ms. Shui, you are mistaken! Everyone can see the Shui’s status in the battlefield, it shouldn’t be us to take care of you! We would like to get closer to you if we can!"

Shui Bingyue led Ye Liuyun to the hall as she spoke, "It’s just some benefits from the Fairy Clan. In terms of power, Commander Ye can be truly called the God of War here without a doubt!"

The two of them praised each other as they proceeded to the main hall and took their seats.

"May I ask why did Ms. Shui summoned me?" Ye Liuyun asked knowingly.

"We’ve frequently had demi-beasts making troubles in our territory lately. If I remember correctly, didn’t Captain Ye subdue the tribe long ago?"

Ye Liuyun said in a deliberately casual tone, "Is that so? Although the tribe is now under my command, they are indeed hard to manage. It’s my fault that I haven’t been able to keep a close eye on them. I’ll compensate for the losses they caused!"

Shui Bingyue knew that Ye Liuyun was playing along. She waved his words aside without dwelling on the matter, "Those are just nothing! I’m aware that Captain Ye has big ambitions and doesn’t care about such minor issues. I’m only concerned that the Eastern Royal Management and the Northsky Sect are up to something big under their calm surface, do you think so?"

"Hmm?" Ye Liuyun found it strange that Shui Bingyue wasn’t discussing her own problems, but brought up the Eastern Royal Management and the Northsky Sect instead.

He indeed gained control over the both powers relatively easily, but everything should be foolproof under his plan.

But hearing her words, he wondered if she might have received some information and wanted to hint something to him.

Still, he couldn’t figure out why Shui Bingyue would want to help him.

From the moment she called for a meeting with him, to when her entire group were equipped with defense jewelleries, Ye Liuyun had an inkling that she had deduced his control over the strong powers.
