Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254 Who Was The Prey?
Wu Qingcheng and the others wanted to follow, but they were stopped by Zhuge Feiyu.
"It is good enough that he is able to protect himself! You cannot protect him if you go. Instead, he needs to protect you if you go."
After everyone heard this, they allowed Ye Liuyun to leave by himself.
As soon as Ye Liuyun left the city lord’s mansion, someone immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to send a message.
The devil cultivators sent by Tuo Muhai muttered excitedly to themselves when they received the news.
"Haha, God really gave us a chance! If you stay in the city lord’s mansion, I cannot do anything to you. But since you have come out, you can only blame yourself for having a short life!"
"Mr. Di Mu, who are you referring to?" A merchant-like martial practitioner beside him asked.
This merchant was called Peng Yunhai. He was a small merchant in Piaoyun City. He usually sold daily necessities, pills, and other things. Although he could not be said to have big business, he had a much better life than ordinary people.
He was a spy hidden in advance by the foreign race on the mainland. Every time the devil cultivator Di Mu came, he would stay here and command all the hidden personnel here to complete the task assigned by Tuo Muhai.
Di Mu’s nominal identity was a distant relative of Peng Yunhai.
They went to the chamber of commerce together last time. The reason for buying warships was that, after coming back from other places, Di Mu found a business opportunity to organize a fleet for long-distance trade.
The target of Ye Liuyun’s operation this time was precisely them. This was because the information that Liang Xue had provided him was that the devil cultivators only appeared here.
Ye Liuyun would not be worried if he faced any devil cultivators. The Devil-sealing Stele and Jiuyou Song could completely suppress them.
In fact, devil cultivators were often traveling in the Central Continent. Everyone was already used to it and would not attract the attention of the chamber of commerce.
Moreover, these people went to different stores, so they were not afraid of being discovered.
However, what they did not know was that Liang Xue was managing most of the chamber of commerce, and the production of warships was actually monopolized by Captain One-eyed.
Therefore, Liang Xue and Captain One-eyed discovered the needs of a large number of warships.
Therefore, as soon as the information was gathered, the suspicion of Di Mu was naturally greater.
After Ye Liuyun arrived in Piaoyun City, he moved into a courtyard that Xia Tianqiong had arranged for him in advance.
To avoid being attacked secretly, he released Vespera and Scorch, who were putting on the Concealcape.
Blue Serpentine was like a child, hiding her realm and surrounding Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun wanted Blue Serpentine to put on the Concealcape to protect him, but Blue Serpentine was unwilling to do so.
She felt rather awkward when no one could see her. She would rather show up and follow Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun did not force her and gave the Concealcape to Scorch. Scorch’s illusion might provide some help at a critical moment.
At the same time, some martial practitioners at the late stage of the Sacred Terra realm and even the early stage of the Sacred Majesty realm secretly entered Peng Yunhai’s residence.
The residence of Peng Yunhai had been monitored by Xia Tianqiong.
Xia Tianqiong promptly used the Sound Transmission Talisman to inform Ye Liuyun of the other party’s information. freēwebnovel.com
"Five early-stage Sacred Majesty martial practitioners, eight late-stage Sacred Terra martial practitioners. Obviously, this is a hidden camp of the foreign race. Those people should be hunting you!"
"Then let us see who is the hunter and who is the prey!"
After knowing the number of people in the opponent, Ye Liuyun was no longer worried.
He had Demon and feral beast to deal with the late-stage Sacred Terra martial practitioners. As for the early-stage Sacred Majesty martial practitioners, Blue Serpentine and Vespera could also deal with them.
It seemed that the opponent was preparing to assassinate him, not attacking him openly.
Ye Liuyun was naturally confident in his ability to deal with such sinister moves.
He placed the Formation Flag directly around the courtyard, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to take the bait.
However, at this moment, Di Mu, Peng Yunhai, and some other martial practitioners were also having a discussion.
"Did Ye Liuyun suddenly come here because he discovered our secret?" Peng Yunhai was very cautious. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"Very likely! However, since he is here, he would not be able to leave! We have so many experts. It would definitely not be a problem to kill him." Di Mu said confidently.
He thought that Ye Liuyun’s performance on the battlefield was all due to tricks and warships and that Ye Liuyun himself was not very strong.
This was an excellent opportunity to kill Ye Liuyun.
Among the martial practitioners he had found, someone said very cautiously, "If Ye Liuyun found something, he would have come prepared! We should not go for wool and come home shorn!"
There was some truth to what this martial practitioner had said.
Therefore, Di Mu did not dare to act on his own accord.
Finally, he said to everyone, "Let us do it this way. Peng Yunhai will first observe for two days and figure out Ye Liuyun’s intentions for coming here. After that, we will make a decision. Anyway, if he finds us, we will not be able to escape. It is safer for us to be together."
"If he really has other things to do, then let us attack him together and kill him in one blow. If we kill Ye Liuyun, we will have made a great contribution."
The other martial practitioners agreed to this suggestion.
Thus, Peng Yunhai was sent out to investigate Ye Liuyun somewhere around his residence.
As soon as Peng Yunhai came out, Ye Liuyun received the news.
"It seems that the intelligence network that Xia Tianqiong set up earlier was really good! Not only did they discover such a big secret, but they also could detect the movements of their opponents!"
Ye Liuyun laughed inwardly. This operation would not be particularly difficult.
He immediately let Scorch go out and lured Peng Yunhai in with an illusion. Peng Yunhai was a martial practitioner at the fifth level of the Fate Realm, Scorch could easily deal with him.
He would not even realize that he had been hit by an illusion.
As soon as Peng Yunhai arrived somewhere near Ye Liuyun’s residence, he was controlled by Scorch, who was putting on the Concealcape, and brought him into the other courtyard.
Ye Liuyun also started soul-searching to learn more about them.
"That Di Mu is the main. He has a list of all the hidden spies!"
After Ye Liuyun received the message, he immediately contacted Xia Tianqiong and told her the situation, telling her to keep an eye on Di Mu.
"Right now, I need an excuse to make them take action. At the very least, I need to kill at least three Sacred Majesty realm experts before I have the confidence to capture Di Mu alive."
"Can you deal with five experts in the Sacred Majesty Realm?" Xia Tianqiong asked with concern.
"Do not worry, there would not be any problem!" Ye Liuyun comforted her.
After contacting Xia Tianqiong, Ye Liuyun asked Scorch to make an illusion so that Peng Yunhai would mistakenly think that he had seen an elder from the Devil Lord Sect who brought several disciples to report to Ye Liuyun regarding the mineral vein nearby.
Everyone in the entire Central Continent knew that Ye Liuyun was searching for the mineral vein, so this reason made sense.
Then, Scorch sent Peng Yunhai out.
