Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171 Startled Birds
Ye Liuyun’s progress was relatively slow, and he could only deal with one person at a time. Moreover, every time he dealt with ten stone men, they would stop to rest and take the pills to restore their Divine Souls.
The onlookers couldn’t help but secretly chuckle when they saw Ye Liuyun subduing the Stone Golems. freewebnøvel.com
"Hahaha! The Seventh Prince is suffering a great loss this time! He had wanted to just buy them, but since he refused, now he’s left with nothing!" Zhu Youfu couldn’t help but laugh.
The Fourth Prince looked at Ye Liuyun with envy and did not speak.
He also wished he could have control over these Stone Golems, but he had neither encountered such an opportunity nor had the ability to claim these spoils of war. He could only yearn for them.
Zhuge Feiyu joined Zhu Youfu in admiration, saying, "That’s fate for you! Some people can’t hold onto the good things that are handed to them!"
He felt that these stone men were definitely more powerful in Ye Liuyun’s hands than in the hands of the Seventh Prince. Therefore, it was fate that Ye Liuyun could get them.
"Of course, how can you be my boss if you are unlucky!" Zhu appeal also became proud.
The Seventh Prince stood anxious outside of the city. He had sent people into the Formation to investigate, but they were blocked by the Illusory Array of the spell, unable to leave, unable to see where the Stone Golems were, and unable to send messages.
When the Seventh Prince saw that the two of them did not come out again, he knew that Ye Liuyun must have set up a trap inside, so he did not dare to send anyone in to check. He could only wait outside for news.
The Stone Golems had given him great hope, and he wanted to see the results by himself, to finally put his mind at ease.
He was still hoping that these Stone Golems would eliminate Ye Liuyun and his group entirely!
If it were someone like Zhuge Feiyu, they would’ve fled with their entourage by now.
Even the Xia Emperor, who had been watching them in the imperial palace, had frowned.
Among these princes, the Seventh Prince was the one with the worst brain!
Some ministers who did not support the Seventh Prince immediately took the opportunity to mock him.
Others tried to excuse the Seventh Prince, by citing his youth and lack of experience.
But as a matter of fact, they all knew that the Seventh Prince’s chances were slim. In case something happened to the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, even if the Seventh Prince was a fool, he would have a chance to try.
The ministers had their own thoughts, and the Xia Emperor didn’t comment. He just continued to watch.
If he made a statement, all the ministers would immediately stand on his side and echo him in unison. They would also guess what he meant and do something in secret.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would refrain from expressing his opinions. Matters such as selecting the royal successor was something he was even less likely for him to declare.
The Seventh Prince waited outside the formation for a few hours until Ye Liuyun replaced all the divine senses of the Giant Rock Puppets with his.
At that point, Ye Liuyun and his clone were utterly exhausted.
But after a discussion with the crowd, he still put away the stone men and then climbed up the city wall with them.
He temporarily deactivated the Formation in front of the Seventh Prince, and closed the city gates.
Zhu Youfu shouted on behalf of Ye Liuyun, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality. My boss took over those Stone Golems of yours, now it’s your turn!"
"What? They’re fine? Where are those stone men?"
"Why are they opening the city gate? Why is no one coming out when the city gate is open?"
"Could it be that Ye Liuyun has released that hidden feral beast?"
The martial practitioners around the Seventh PRince continued to discuss amongst themselves animatedly. Zhu Youfu’s statement, "Now it’s your turn," had an unexpected effect, sending shivers down their spines.
At that moment, the Seventh Prince was filled with regret. He didn’t expect that the three hundred Stone Golems made from the first level of Sacred Terra would just be taken by Ye Liuyun just like that. If he had known this earlier, he would’ve sold them to him for spiritual stones.
Ye Liuyun merely stood on the city wall and looked at them with a smile. He did not speak.
Zhuge Feiyu and the Fourth Prince were also staring at them.
"Your Highness, let’s retreat! After Ye Liuyun dealt with the Onyx, it’s a matter of time before he deals with us," one martial practitioner advised.
"Yes, Your Highness. They just opened the city gate, so they must have released the invisible fierce feral beast! Let’s go. We can’t leave if it’s too late!" The other martial arts cultivators also urged the Seventh Prince to retreat quickly.
They all thought that Ye Liuyun’s opening of the city gates was to release feral beasts to kill them.
Ye Liuyun might not kill the seventh prince, but he dared to kill them. Therefore, they were all very nervous and did not want to stay here and wait for death.
In any case, Ye Liuyun had already captured the Stone Golems, and there was no point in them staying any longer.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew by, and a martial practitioner cried out in horror and ran away.
In fact, Ye Liuyun did not send out Vespera at all.
After discussing with the group, they felt that the Seventh Prince and his group was no longer a threat, and didn’t need to chase after them. Terrifying them was more than enough.
Therefore, they simply smiled at them, giving them the impression that Ye Liuyun sent feral beasts to kill them.
The first marital practitioner to flee was terrified, and his imagination was running wild.
He believed that Ye Liuyun would definitely deal with them after he killed the Stone Golems.
As soon as he ran, the others thought that he had found something and immediately ran with him.
The Seventh Prince followed them subconsciously.
In that way, the Seventh Prince’s group ran away like startled birds, leaving the people on the wall to start laughing uncontrollably.
After they had run far away, Ye Liuyun reactivated the defuse Formation and then returned to the Xuankong Stone to cultivate and recover his Divine Soul.
Zhu Youfu and the Fourth Prince celebrated with a barbecue.
"Fourth Prince, are you sure you won this time?" Zhu starts to confirm with Zhuge Feiyu.
Zhuge Feiyu nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth PRince would definitely win!"
"An accident? What kind of accident could there be?" Hearing what he said, Zhu appeal immediately became alert.
"I’m just saying ’if’!" Zhuge Feiyu clarified.
"But I think saying such a thing is very likely to come true!" Zhu Youfu said and immediately contacted Ye Liuyun.
He just had a feeling that things weren’t going to go well, but he was very confident with his intuition.
Ye Liuyun was interrupted while he was thinking..
After snapping out of it and hearing Zhu Youfu’s thoughts, he couldn’t help but frown.
While he didn’t believe that anything unexpected would happen, Zhu Youfu’s intuition had been very accurate before, like the time when they were attacked by a herd of cattle in the valley.
After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun released the three thousand Metal Puppets and some feral beasts for defence, according to their previous plan.
