Chapter 344 Infiltration

No matter how dense Blue Wind's fist techniques were, how could they possibly block the flying petals filling the sky?

Without Blue Wind noticing, a cluster of petals had already slipped along his lower body into his defensive circle!

"Thousand Stream Flying Petals, explode!"

Ye Yuan gave a low shout, and a series of "puff puff" sounds rang out as countless tiny explosions occurred within Blue Wind's defensive circle.

The explosion of a single petal was naturally not very strong, but when thousands upon thousands of petals exploded, it was no laughing matter.

Blue Wind's body began to shake uncontrollably from the blasts, as if he were dancing drunk.

The protective Yuan force of the Sea Transformation realm was extremely powerful, especially for a close-combat martial artist like Blue Wind.

Yet no matter how strong, it could not withstand this rain of petals filling the sky.

Ye Yuan controlled more and more petals to fly toward Blue Wind, until he was finally submerged in petals.

Countless petals burst, and Blue Wind's body trembled more and more violently.

Finally, the powerful protective Yuan force was breached by these countless small explosions, and Blue Wind's body began to bear the brunt of the blasts!

"Pfft!"

Blue Wind spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly to his knees!

But at that moment, Ye Yuan moved!

Without waiting for Blue Wind to fall to the ground, Ye Yuan flashed in front of him.

"Spirit Shocking Thorn!"

Ye Yuan's soul power erupted violently, attacking Blue Wind's sea of consciousness!

Blue Wind clearly had not expected Ye Yuan to launch a sudden sneak attack with a soul secret technique.

Caught completely off guard, before he understood what was happening, Blue Wind felt his head go blank, his eyes rolled back, and he knew nothing more!

But Ye Yuan's methods were not yet over!

He rapidly formed hand seals, releasing his soul power once again, which probed into Blue Wind's sea of consciousness!

"Slave Seal, form!"

At this moment, Blue Wind's soul had been heavily struck by Ye Yuan's Spirit Shocking Thorn, suffering considerable injury, and he was still in a defenseless state.

Seizing this time difference, Ye Yuan forcibly planted a Slave Seal in Blue Wind's soul!

Unlike the soul contract with Yuan Fei, after being implanted with the Slave Seal, Blue Wind would lose his own consciousness, and all his actions would be subject to Ye Yuan's commands.

Moreover, because Ye Yuan had forcibly implanted the Slave Seal, it would cause irreparable damage to Blue Wind's soul, and Blue Wind's cultivation would be forever limited to this level.

Seeing the Slave Seal successfully formed, Ye Yuan also felt a sense of exhaustion.

This series of attacks had been completed in the blink of an eye, placing an enormous burden on both his Yuan force and his soul.

For a Crystal Condensation realm martial artist to plant a Slave Seal on a Sea Transformation realm martial artist was something others would not even dare to imagine, yet Ye Yuan had accomplished it!

The Sea Transformation realm was not a major realm; although the soul power of a Sea Transformation realm martial artist was stronger than that of a Crystal Condensation realm martial artist, it was not a leap across major realms.

Especially for a pure martial artist like Blue Wind, his soul cultivation barely reached the level of a mid-to-late stage Grand Alchemist.

After Ye Yuan broke through to the Crystal Condensation realm, his soul realm had directly leaped to the peak of early Grand Alchemist stage, not far behind Blue Wind's soul realm.

Because of this, Ye Yuan dared to take the risky move of planting the Slave Seal on Blue Wind!

Although Ye Yuan succeeded, the entire process had been extremely perilous.

After all, Ye Yuan's soul realm was not higher than Blue Wind's; if Blue Wind had been on guard, not only would Ye Yuan have failed, but his own soul would have suffered backlash.

Thus, before taking action, Ye Yuan had considered every step.

It wasn't that Ye Yuan enjoyed playing with danger, but that he wanted to use Blue Wind to learn the whereabouts of Mei Zhen and the others.

Ye Yuan knew that no matter how he asked, Blue Wind would not tell him.

Even if he did tell him, Ye Yuan would not dare to believe it.

So the best way was to control Blue Wind!

Moreover, Ye Yuan had longer-term considerations: if Mei Zhen and the others were dead, then all was over, but if they were not, he would still have use for Blue Wind.

Ye Yuan did not waste too much time; Blue Wind had already notified experts through a secret technique, and the more he delayed, the more dangerous it became.

"Open your soul, I want to search your memories!" Ye Yuan commanded.

Blue Wind's eyes regained some luster, and ignoring his injuries, he struggled to stand up and bowed to Ye Yuan: "Yes, master!"

Ye Yuan's divine sense probed into Blue Wind's sea of consciousness, reading his memories.

Seeing that Mei Zhen and the others were safe, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, he had to thank Lin Chao. If not for his extra comment, Mei Zhen and the others would probably be dead by now.

Ye Yuan took out a Qingxuan Heart-Nourishing Pill and tossed it to Blue Wind: "Take it quickly, but there's no time for you to refine the medicinal power; we need to leave now!"

"Thank you, master, for the pill!" Blue Wind said respectfully.

...

Deep beneath Yonghua Palace, where the Six Extremities Sealing Array was located, was also the site of the passage between the Boundless Realm and the Wildwind Realm.

Blue Wind, covered in wounds, escorted Ye Yuan, whose Yuan force was sealed, as they walked in.

The Wildwind Realm had already deployed heavy forces underground, but they were all Crystal Condensation realm martial artists.

It had only been two or three days since the passage was opened, and a large number of experts were still on their way.

"Lord Blue Wind!" the guards saluted respectfully upon seeing him.

Blue Wind nodded and said, "Brother Blue Panther ordered me to capture this person, and this prisoner is very important. I must personally escort him back to the tribe."

"Yes, Lord Blue Wind, please!" The guards did not dare to obstruct and let them pass directly.

Blue Wind held the highest rank here, so naturally they dared not say anything.

Moreover, the guards were all aware that Blue Wind had stayed behind to capture someone.

Blue Panther and the others had already returned to the Wildwind Realm to arrange the invasion of the Boundless Realm. After all, compared to a single person like Ye Yuan, the war between the two realms was the greater matter!

But by now, Blue Panther should have received Blue Wind's transmission and was hurrying here.

Ye Yuan glared angrily at Blue Wind but refused to enter the passage.

"What are you looking at! Move it!" Blue Wind shoved him.

"If you've got the guts, kill me!" Ye Yuan shouted angrily.

"Heh heh, you still have great use; how could I let you die so easily? And to capture you, I was severely injured. We'll settle this score later!" Blue Wind sneered.

The two exchanged words, putting on a full act.

Finally, pushed by Blue Wind, Ye Yuan entered the passage, and Blue Wind followed shortly after.

"No way? That youth is only at the first level of Crystal Condensation, yet he beat Lord Blue Wind like this! His combat power is too terrifying, right?" After they left, a guard exclaimed in surprise.

"What do you know! I heard earlier that the Boundless Realm martial artist who got away was only at the eighth level of Liquid Essence; it must be this kid! It's only been a few days, and he's already broken through to Crystal Condensation! If this kid weren't unusual, why would Lord Blue Wind want to capture him alive?" another said.

"Truly terrifying! We Wildwind Realm martial artists have always been known for our strong combat power, but compared to this youth, the gap is not small!" the guard sighed.
