Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403 To Confirm The Truth
"Princess, haven’t we explained it to you? We don’t want to kill you; we just want you to invite you as a guest. As long as you cooperate, we guarantee that you and your followers won’t lose a single hair!" The martial practitioner replied.
"Who sent you here? Where do you want to take me? Why should I go with you when you don’t give me any details?" Qu Wanying asked.
The martial practitioner below the mountain took a look at Ye Liuyun and the others. Seeing that their realms were not high, and Ye Liuyun didn’t even display his realm.
So he thought that Qu Wanying and the others were in a difficult situation. Even if they tried to run back now, they would be caught up.
"Alright, since the princess insists on knowing before agreeing to go with us, I’ll tell you. We were sent by the prince consort. Can we go now?" The martial practitioner revealed the truth.
"The prince consort? Please don’t make him sound like my husband." Qu Wanying said sarcastically.
Her father was a king, too, which made her a princess. However, there was a huge difference between her and the Empire’s princess.
"Princess, you must be joking! Of course, it’s the Empire prince consort!" The martial practitioner smiled awkwardly.
"He should be looking for the real princess. Why come and chase after me? This is disgraceful!" Qu Wanying began to mock Xie Tianqi.
"Princess, I’ve already told you what you want to know! If you don’t cooperate, we’ll have to take action!" The martial practitioner said, his face turning serious.
Listening to Qu Wanying, it seemed like she had no intention of willingly going with them.
"Haven’t you already sent three teams to deal with me? Too bad! They’ve all been fed to feral beasts!" Qu Wanying countered sharply with the martial practitioner.
"Princess, don’t blame us if we offend you! Attack!" The martial practitioner wasted no time. Seeing her unwillingness to surrender, he immediately ordered his men to attack.
However, Ye Liuyun used Elemental Spirit Secret Skill, locking all their genuine energy, then summoned the Skeleton Golem, stabbing each of them and extracting their virtuoso.
The martial practitioners hadn’t expected a master to be hidden here.
"Would you trade each person for five hundred kilograms of meat?" Ye Liuyun asked Qu Wanying with a smile.
He knew Qu Wanying wanted to capture these people for interrogation and confirmation, so he deliberately didn’t kill them. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
But he didn’t want to give them away for free. They could be the Devil Beast’s feed.
"A miser!" Qu Wanying muttered. But in the end, she agreed to Ye Liuyun’s conditions and exchanged all those people.
Qu Wanying, Fan Gang, and the soldiers, escorted by Ye Liuyun, safely returned to Peakstead.
Peakstead was a large city with a strategic location, a crucial area for military operations.
As a vassal prince of Peakstead, the Warden of Peakstead stationed twenty thousand soldiers here, and it was part of the warden’s territory.
Ye Liuyun sent them to the city and was about to leave.
"Come stay at my place! You’re wanted now, and you shouldn’t be wandering around. I also need to give you what I promised to avoid trouble later," Qu Wanying suggested.
"Are you sure I can enter the city?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"Don’t worry, no one dares to stop us!" Fan Gang said loudly.
"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun didn’t fuss and followed them into the city.
He was not worried that the Warden of Peakstead would trick him.
With so many feral beasts at the Sacred Majesty level by his side, the Warden of Peakstead wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront him directly.
The city gate guards recognized Qu Wanying, and naturally, no one checked her entourage. Ye Liuyun grandly entered the city.
They arrived at the royal residence, where Qu Wanying settled Ye Liuyun in first. She promptly reported to her father and proceeded with interrogations, soul searching, and other arrangements.
Ye Liuyun had food and drink, so he wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he returned to the Xuankong Stone to organize his belongings.
He separated all the meat from the Interspatial Rings, intending to feed the recently captured feral beasts and Devil Beasts.
He quickly categorized the remaining items and delegated the rest to Liang Xue.
The Interspatial Ring he obtained in Crystalberg was also sorted out, and the supplies increased significantly.
"Let’s sell off the useless things. Keeping them here is useless." Liang Xue suggested to Ye Liuyun.
"Sure, I’ll go check out the guild here another day," Ye Liuyun agreed.
A day later, Qu Jing, Qu Wanying’s father, the Warden of Peakstead, invited Ye Liuyun to dinner to express gratitude for saving his life.
Qu Wanying personally invited Ye Liuyun and handed him an Interspatial Ring filled with the promised meat, and it was quite substantial.
"Your act fast! You’re very trustworthy. I’d love to cooperate with you!" Ye Liuyun happily put away the meat.
With this supply, the feral beasts and Devil Beasts wouldn’t have to worry about food for some time!
Ye Liuyun gladly followed Qu Wanying to the dinner.
During the dinner, Qu Jing inquired about the Xie family’s situation.
As a vassal prince of the empire, he was well-informed about many confidential matters, especially the true cause of the devil-slaying incident, which was related to a foreign race.
Ye Liuyun detailed the remaining influence of the foreign race and hoped that Qu Jing could help remind the empire.
"Was Xie Tianhong not tainted by the Evil Qi of the foreign race?" Qu Jing asked.
"Not just him, none of the Xie family members were affected by the Evil Qi of the foreign race, making it easier for them to conceal their identities. Only some martial practitioners under their control gained strength through the foreign race’s Evil Qi," Ye Liuyun replied.
"So, you mean now that the foreign race is extinct, there’s no one to control them. The Xie family also doesn’t need to follow the foreign race’s demands?" Qu Jing asked again.
Ye Liuyun understood his implication. The foreign race had been eradicated, and the remaining individuals, without the control of the foreign race, couldn’t cause much trouble.
Those who were tainted had weak Evil Qi, and attempting to corrupt others would be difficult, let alone causing rapid expansion.
Ye Liuyun understood his thoughts. After all, the Xie family was no longer a significant threat.
"Exactly! As long as the foreign race doesn’t return, they are not a threat," he admitted decisively.
If Qu Jing didn’t want to deal with it, Ye Liuyun didn’t mind handling the Xie family himself.
He knew the extent of the foreign race’s danger and would eliminate every bit of it.
"Good!" Qu Jing nodded and asked Ye Liuyun in return, "Since they are no longer a threat, why are you still keeping an eye on the Xie family?"
