Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426 Call For Truce

During this period, Qu Jing relaxed more.

The individuals he sent to exchange resources had all returned, bringing back the necessary supplies for the army. Everything was going smoothly.

With no pursuit from the Ironclad Army and no one attempting to intercept them, they finally felt a sense of security.

"Mr. Ye, your calculations were truly impeccable! If we had followed our initial plan, I’m afraid all these soldiers would have perished by now!" Wen Chernggang admired Ye Liuyun sincerely.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, "I’m no strategist! I didn’t anticipate the Ironclad Army giving up so quickly, nor did I expect that none of the cities dared to intercept us. It’s just a stroke of luck."

Although Ye Liuyun spoke the truth, Wen Chernggang insisted on praising him excessively. freewebnoveℓ.com

In reality, Ye Liuyun was just trying his best, taking things step by step, unwilling to wait idly.

On the side of the empire, the Ironclad Army dispatched to pursue Qujing and his group returned empty-handed. In the area around the Phoenix River, the climate suddenly changed, making it difficult to redirect forces to chase them.

Instead, they sent several individuals to investigate the Phoenix River.

However, most traces were already covered by ice and snow, leaving no clues.

Therefore, the empire dispatched several martial practitioners of the Sacred Majesty realm to directly inquire about the situation from Ye Liuyun and his companions.

Simultaneously, they aimed to warn Ye Liuyun, preventing him from causing any more trouble.

One day, while Ye Liuyun and his group were sailing north as usual, there was a sudden connection from a martial practitioner of the Sacred Majesty realm using Divine Sense.

The fleet immediately stopped, and Ye Liuyun disembarked to confront the martial practitioners of the Sacred Majesty realm.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was alone, the martial practitioners in the Sacred Majesty realm wanted to capture him. However, Ye Liuyun attacked with his Divine Soul, instantly killing one of them.

The remaining individuals had no intention of making a move, quickly explaining their purpose to Ye Liuyun.

"Are you here to negotiate with me?"

Ye Liuyun felt that they attacked but didn’t seem to want to capture him. If they wanted to capture him, why send only a few people?

The leader of the martial practitioners was unwilling to admit that they were negotiating with Ye Liuyun. In his eyes, Ye Liuyun couldn’t be equated with the empire.

"We are commissioned by the empire to investigate the reasons for the climate change around the Phoenix River. At the same time, we want to make a pact with you to prevent further bloodshed!" The martial practitioner said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun chuckled and asked, "So, you’re helpless against me and want to negotiate?"

"Nonsense! How could the empire be helpless against you? Do you think this vast empire can’t handle you?" The martial practitioner said angrily.

Ye Liuyun nodded, "Indeed, I believe that. What does the empire want? Do they want to warn me and then take action?"

Ye Liuyun revealed the empire’s intentions with a single sentence.

The martial practitioner did not want to argue with him anymore and only asked, "Let me ask you first, what’s going on with the Phoenix River? After all, the weather changes will affect people who live around there. I hope you can tell us honestly that it’s convenient for us to take action!"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and felt that it was time to tell them and let them know what was going on. frёewebnoѵēl.com

He couldn’t imagine how strong the cold force underground was.

So he told them about the underground situation.

But he wouldn’t say that he had dug up the mineral mine.

When the martial practitioner suspected that the mineral mine had been dug out by them, Ye Liuyun told the martial practitioner, "Those mineral veins have been almost dug out by King Xifeng."

"In the end, the mineral vein was dug out by the defeated soldiers. How long have we been here? How can we dig so many?"

After that, the martial practitioner asked Ye Liuyun about a lot of details. Ye Liuyun told him the truth.

When the martial practitioner saw that Ye Liuyun was answering all his questions, he began to ask about his personal matters. "Where did all the ghosts and Devil Beasts you released during the battle come from?"

"This has nothing to do with the climate change matter, right?" Ye Liuyun wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t leak any information about him.

"It has nothing to do with the climate, but some people say that you are a foreign race, so we have to investigate it!" The martial practitioner explained.

"Humph!" Ye Liuyun sneered, "I think the empire should be very clear about who is the real traitor. Whether it’s my Yin-soul or the Devil Beasts, none of them have the slightest Evil Qi of a foreign race!"

Seeing this, the martial practitioner stopped questioning. He just hoped that Ye Liuyun wouldn’t start another massacre.

"If you don’t send troops to kill me, how could I start a massacre? Up to now, have you seen me randomly kill any civilians?" Ye Liuyun countered.

"Isn’t the Lone Star Auction House a good example?" That martial practitioner asked.

"That’s because the Lone Star Auction House is a remnant of the foreign race! As long as they are martial practitioners contaminated with the Evil Qi of the foreign race, I will not spare them until they are completely eradicated!"

"Regarding this matter, the empire can observe from the sidelines. I won’t let any potential threat from the foreign race remain!" Ye Liuyun stated resolutely.

"How do you know that the Lone Star Auction House is a remnant of the foreign race?" The martial practitioner seemed unaware of this.

Ye Liuyun then briefly explained the situation regarding Xie Tianhong and his father.

"I will report what you said to the empire. Even if this is true, it needs to be handled by the empire. Opening the killing spree will cause panic among the people!" The martial practitioner spoke sincerely.

"Fine, I don’t have time to deal with the Lone Star Auction House right now. So, for the time being, I’ll lay low. But if the empire remains silent afterward, I will continue to take action against the Lone Star Auction House!"

Ye Liuyun could feel that the empire was willing to negotiate with him, so he had to show some mercy.

Moreover, he couldn’t afford to deal with the Lone Star Auction House now. He needed to settle Qu Jing and the others first.

After conversing with Ye Liuyun, the martial practitioner realized that Ye Liuyun was actually quite easy to communicate with.

"Where are you planning to go?" That martial practitioner asked Ye Liuyun.

"Of course, the farther away from you, the better! Qu Jing doesn’t want to be an enemy of the empire; he just wants to survive. He’s different from me. Saving him is just a side task. The two of us were forced together by the empire!" Ye Liuyun explained to the martial practitioner.

"What if the empire wants to pardon Qu Jing and exonerate him?" The martial practitioner asked.

"That would be great! I won’t stop you!" Ye Liuyun replied.

"What about you? Don’t you want to serve the empire?" The martial practitioner asked with a smile.
