Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408 You Know Very Well

In the residence of the Warden of Peakstead, upon hearing the roar, the warden immediately suspected that something had gone wrong with the Lone Star Auction House.

He figured that the only person daring enough to attack the auction house would be Ye Liuyun.

Moreover, he had heard from Qu Wanying about Ye Liuyun capturing feral beasts of Sacred Majesty level.

As the ruler of the city, he knew he had to handle the situation. However, facing feral beasts at the Sacred Majesty level, he didn’t want to send his soldiers to their deaths.

Qu Wanying, now dressed in armor, hurried over, ready to lead the troops to find out what had happened.

The warden seized the opportunity when he saw Qu Wanying and gave his orders.

"Take ten thousand soldiers with you. If it’s not a formidable opponent, don’t force it."

He believed that since Ye Liuyun hadn’t killed Qu Wanying before, he probably wouldn’t do so this time.

Also, considering Qu Wanying’s character, if she saw Ye Liuyun, she might not lead her troops to besiege but rather let him go.

Sending Qu Wanying would likely result in minimal casualties.

Qu Wanying agreed and immediately led the troops towards the Lone Star Auction House.

She had her suspicions that Ye Liuyun might be behind this, which is why she was eager to go.

However, when they arrived, not a single living soul was in sight. Blood was everywhere, but only three bodies remained.

Upon seeing Qu Wanying leading the troops, Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to communicate with her, "The three bodies I left for you were martial practitioners contaminated by the Evil Qi of foreign races. As for whether you can use them, you can ask your father."

"But remember, after using them, burn them thoroughly with fire to prevent further contamination."

Qu Wanying immediately understood that Ye Liuyun was responsible for the incident.

She was curious about the Evil Qi of foreign races.

She first checked the three bodies and found that the Evil Qi was different from that of others.

Pretending to search for clues, she found nothing and decided to withdraw her troops, bringing the three bodies back with her.

Back in the city, the Warden of Peakstead inspected the bodies.

After that, he ordered people to destroy the three bodies.

"Father, with these bodies, we can expose the Xie family!" Qu Wanying couldn’t understand why her father wanted to destroy the evidence.

The Warden of Peakstead shook his head, asking, "Will the Xie family admit these were their people? Do you have any evidence that proves these bodies weren’t intentionally placed there by Ye Liuyun?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Qu Wanying widened her eyes in disbelief, "Father, are you saying Ye Liuyun is deceiving us?"

The Warden of Peakstead smiled and shook his head again, "I believe he is not deceiving us, but the Xie family won’t admit it. Others will doubt it. So these bodies are useless to us."

"If this isn’t evidence, then what is?" Qu Wanying realized the danger of these people after feeling the Evil Qi.

He sighed, "Anything is evidence if the empire wants to act against the Xie family. If they want to support the Xie family, then none of this will be considered evidence."

Qu Wanying then asked, "Doesn’t that mean the Xie family is now untouchable?"

The Warden of Peakstead shook his head, "Not with people like Ye Liuyun around."

"But he’s wanted by the empire!" Qu Wanying said. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

She felt sorry for Ye Liuyun.

He was working for the empire and the people, yet he was being hunted by the empire.

Meanwhile, the real pests were being supported.

The empire even had its eyes on her father. In her opinion, the empire was corrupt!

"Useless empire!" Qu Wanying couldn’t help but curse.

"Wanying, there are things you must never say out loud, understand?"

The Warden of Peakstead earnestly advised Qu Wanying.

"Okay!" Qu Wanying agreed, knowing these words must not be spoken, as it would bring disaster upon them.

After giving instructions to Qu Wanying, Ye Liuyun quietly left Peakstead and headed for the nearby city.

After receiving the news, Xie Tianqi was considering how to use this incident to force the Warden of Peakstead to relinquish his military power.

He knew Ye Liuyun was behind this, but he insisted on blaming the Warden of Peakstead.

At the same time, he was planning to formulate a plan against Ye Liuyun to prevent him from systematically dismantling the Lone Star Auction House.

Ye Liuyun, alone and unpredictable, was challenging to apprehend.

To strengthen the defenses of auction houses spread across the realm would require more manpower than they currently had.

"What if we frame the collusion between the Warden of Peakstead and Ye Liuyun? Maybe we can lure Ye Liuyun out?"

Xie Tianqi thought of a plan that would kill two birds with one stone.

However, he wasn’t sure if Ye Liuyun would reappear to save Qu Wanying.

But at least the Warden of Peakstead would be ruined.

"Have you contacted Tiande?" Xie Tianqi asked his subordinates.

"Not yet. We’ve been unable to reach him since he entered the Exotic Hill." His subordinate replied.

"Send someone to find him! Once found, let him stay temporarily in Peakstead to coordinate with my next move," Xie Tianqi ordered.

"Yes!" The subordinate agreed and left to make the arrangements.

Xie Tianqi also immediately sent his second brother, Xie Tianming, with people to Peakstead to investigate Ye Liuyun’s involvement in the destruction of the Lone Star Auction House, preparing to frame the Warden of Peakstead.

Many experts from the Lone Star Auction House once again rushed to the city.

Ye Liuyun, leaving Peakstead, was flying on the flying vessel he had seized from the auction house.

Coincidentally, on the way, he encountered two martial practitioners of the Sacred Terra level that Xie Tianqi had reassigned from elsewhere.

They approached the flying vessel from the Lone Star Auction House, trying to get close, and collided with Ye Liuyun.

As soon as Ye Liuyun searched their souls, he realized that something was wrong.

Even though they didn’t know what their mission was, they knew they were tasked with dealing with a prince.

"These people are actually not going to deal with me!"

Ye Liuyun speculated that Xie Tianqi might be plotting against the Warden of Peakstead.

After eliminating the two martial practitioners, Ye Liuyun had been contemplating whether to inform the Warden of Peakstead.

However, considering his indifference to others’ affairs, he decided not to bother.

"Who cares? It has nothing to do with me!"

He had guessed that Xie Tianqi was planning to harm the Warden of Peakstead but didn’t anticipate the frame-up against the collaboration between them.

If he had known that Xie Tianqi would use him to get rid of Qu Jing, he would have at least notified them in advance.

Although the Warden of Peakstead was a little old-fashioned, Qu Wanying was at least a very sincere friend.

So he did not turn around but continued to rush to the next city to destroy the Lone Star Auction House there.

This time, it was still the same as the last time, silent and clean.

It went smoother than the last time. From beginning to end, nothing went wrong, and the Xie Family’s stronghold was completely destroyed.
