Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409 Hard To Break His Plan

Ye Liuyun smoothly put an end to the auction house and then hurried to the next city.

As a result, he exposed his location. Those martial practitioners eager to claim the empire’s bounty flocked to the next city, waiting to ambush him.

However, Ye Liuyun had different plans. He suddenly changed direction.

On the way here, he had encountered martial practitioners who had intercepted him. Ye Liuyun had used them to train his strength.

As a result, his whereabouts were frequently exposed, attracting a large number of martial practitioners following closely behind.

He had to change his route regularly to avoid being surrounded.

Since he had nothing urgent to attend to, Ye Liuyun spent his days alternating between training and fighting with his doppelganger, exploring the surroundings, and getting acquainted with the local customs.

One day, he sneaked into a city, went to a tavern to eat, and overheard many martial practitioners discussing various matters.

"Collusion between the Warden of Peakstead and wanted criminals? I don’t believe it. It must be a frame-up!" One martial practitioner exclaimed.

"Yeah, the Warden of Peakstead is a good person who never oppresses the common people! Even if he did collude with criminals, it just shows that those criminals were wrongly accused!" Another martial practitioner added.

"What wrongful accusations? Everyone knows Ye Liuyun is a demon, don’t they?" Someone retorted.

"I heard that this time the investigation of the Warden of Peakstead is handled by the empire’s son-in-law. Could it be a deliberate framing?" A cautious martial practitioner suggested, glancing around after speaking.

An older martial practitioner sighed, "One month’s deadline and the whole family will be executed! We should avoid discussing matters involving high officials. It’s better for us. Instead, let’s think about whether Ye Liuyun will come to the rescue..."

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was shocked.

"Why does Xie Tianqi’s move against the Warden of Peakstead involve me?"

He continued eavesdropping on others’ conversations to get a better idea.

Xie family’s investigation of the destruction of the Lone Star Auction House revealed that Ye Liuyun left three bodies, which were taken back to the royal mansion and later destroyed.

Additionally, news about Ye Liuyun saving Qu Wanying from the Exotic Hill had spread.

Even Qu Wanying purchasing a large amount of meat became part of the discussion, accusing her of sponsoring Ye Liuyun’s escape.

As a result, the family of the Warden of Peakstead was arrested, and the royal mansion was sealed.

However, his two hundred thousand army refused to comply, demanding a rebellion, resulting in a tense standoff between them and the empire, with the possibility of war at any moment.

Hence, the empire gave the Warden of Peakstead’s family a one-month buffer before execution.

"This is a clear setup!"

Ye Liuyun cursed Xie Tianqi for being too ruthless.

If he went to rescue the Warden of Peakstead, the charges against him would be confirmed. If he didn’t, the warden would still be condemned to death.

No matter what, Xie Tianqi had firmly trapped the Warden of Peakstead and even implicated Ye Liuyun, tarnishing his reputation further.

At the very least, the citizens of the Peakstead would hate Ye Liuyun even more and blame him for dragging Qu Jing down.

"These Xie family members are something! Xie Tianqi’s scheming is no less than Xie Tianhong’s!"

Ye Liuyun felt that with information spreading everywhere, even if the Xie family didn’t set a trap for him, many martial practitioners would still come to test whether he would rescue the Warden of Peakstead.

If he did, these martial practitioners would swarm him. freewёbnoνel.com

After pondering for a while, Ye Liuyun decided to go and take a look first.

He donned his Concealcape and stealthily left the city. Instead of using the auction house’s flying vessel, he opted for his flying vessel to avoid leaving traces.

Outside the Peakstead, the two hundred thousand army of the Warden of Peakstead confronted the empire’s soldiers stationed in the city.

However, there was no siege. It seemed like both sides were cautious, fearing that Xie Tianqi might harm the warden.

There were only thirty thousand guards in the city. They seemed to know that they didn’t dare to attack the city. Even the city gate was open.

The passers-by passed by at will and they didn’t even do a check-up. They were more relaxed than usual.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun felt Xie Tianqi was extraordinary and needed to be handled with extra caution.

At such a critical moment, opening the city gates was a clear sign that everything was under control, inviting everyone to come, including Ye Liuyun.

"I estimate this one-month deadline is not only to lure me into saving people but also for Xie Tianqi to figure out how to make the Warden of Peakstead relinquish his military power. I wonder if Qu Wanying has fallen into their hands."

Ye Liuyun was worried and decided to investigate the situation directly.

He rushed to the mansion to investigate the situation and found that the Mansion of the City Lord had been occupied by the Xie Family. However, he found a lot of suspicious people on the periphery of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Fan Gang?"

Ye Liuyun didn’t expect to encounter him here.

Fan Gang wasn’t dressed as a soldier but rather like an ordinary person, sitting in a teahouse near the mansion, observing the movements in the mansion.

Ye Liuyun initially wanted to approach him and inquire about the situation, but he suddenly stopped.

"Fan Gang has a simple mind, and I’m not sure what his attitude toward me is. If he blames me for implicating the warden and princess, he might directly call for reinforcements to capture me!"

With a sigh, Ye Liuyun decided to keep an eye on Fan Gang and patiently wait.

He noticed that several people were watching the Lord’s mansion. Ye Liuyun couldn’t discern which faction these people belonged to. freewebnσvel.cѳm

But he spotted four or five groups and even numerous individual martial practitioners wandering around.

After two hours of waiting, someone replaced Fan Gang to continue surveillance, and Fan Gang headed toward the city outskirts.

Ye Liuyun followed him from a distance to see where he was going.

Once outside the city, Fan Gang circled around, changed into armor, and hurried toward the military camp.

Ye Liuyun removed his Concealcape and revealed himself, stopping Fan Gang.

"Mr. Ye!" Fan Gang, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, expressed joy without any signs of aversion.

"What happened?" Ye Liuyun asked him.

"The warden and his family have been framed by Xie Tianqi and captured, and imprisoned in the mansion. We were planning to rescue them, but our army lacked powerful individuals! Could you help us once again to rescue the warden and the princess?"

Fan Gang explained, ready to kneel to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately stopped him and said, "This matter is related to me as well. If it weren’t for me, the warden wouldn’t be implicated. So, I will take care of it!"

"These are two separate issues! The princess told me that you saved her out of goodwill, which is not wrong. Even without you, those villains would have found another excuse to frame the warden!" Fan Gang stated directly.
