Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427 Invitation To An Adventure

Ye Liuyun felt that if the empire hadn’t given the order, this martial practitioner wouldn’t have asked such questions.

At least, the empire was testing him.

"Is this question on behalf of the empire?" Ye Liuyun asked in return.

"Of course not. I don’t have that authority. I’m just asking on a personal basis." The martial practitioner replied.

"I don’t mind. It depends on the terms. It doesn’t matter who I work for. It depends on the conditions and the nature of the task," Ye Liuyun thought it was a trivial matter.

As long as it brought him benefits, helping or not helping the empire didn’t make much of a difference to him.

After all, he wasn’t from this world, and he could simply walk away.

The martial practitioner didn’t continue the topic and requested to meet Qu Jing to understand his relationship with Ye Liuyun. After confirming Ye Liuyun’s statements, the martial practitioner took his leave. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"What does the empire want? Are they trying to recruit us, or just stabilize us?" Qu Jing asked Ye Liuyun.

"It’s hard to say for now. Just do what you need to do, you don’t have to bother with them. Negotiation conditions only matter when you’re strong. Otherwise, even if they recruit you, you’ll eventually be set up again!" Ye Liuyun straightforwardly advised.

Qu Jing nodded, saying to Ye Liuyun, "I also think the same. Whether the empire recruits the two hundred thousand people under me or not doesn’t matter. But I think the empire has its eyes on you."

"Even if they don’t need your help, they probably don’t want to make an enemy out of you. You’ve single-handedly defeated nearly a million troops!"

Ye Liuyun had thought about this, but he didn’t care as much as Qu Jing.

"I can cooperate with anyone, it depends on the person, the conditions, and the nature of the task!"

Their fleet continued northward. The cold weather followed them, causing temperatures to drop and snowfall wherever they went.

After this, the entire area was covered in white snow, losing the distinction between seasons.

Ye Liuyun analyzed that the extreme cold power underground in the Phoenix River might only be a breakthrough point.

The truly powerful Power of Ice might not be located there. Someone might have discovered it as a breakthrough and suppressed it.

He also considered if the extreme cold power was related to the Snow Domain. However, the distance between the two seemed too far for it to be practical.

So, he believed that the Phoenix River was just another place similar to the Snow Domain.

Qu Jing and his fleet would reach the borders of the Snow Domain in a few days.

They planned to visit the last city to purchase supplies. Ye Liuyun intended to part ways with them there since there were no more dangers ahead that Qu Jing couldn’t handle.

The group disguised themselves and entered the city, bought supplies, and decided to have a farewell feast for Ye Liuyun.

As they were eating, the room’s door suddenly opened.

A young man dressed plainly but in the Sacred Terra fifth stage, entered.

"Sorry to disturb you all! I’ve been a bit tight on funds lately, so I came here to share a meal with you!" He said casually.

Everyone was puzzled by the arrival of this young man. Only Qu Jing scrutinized him and immediately stood up, looking extremely nervous.

"The Fifth Prince of the empire, Meng Changxing!" Qu Jing immediately transmitted to Ye Liuyun.

At the same time, he also asked Meng Changxing, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected that a prince would dress so casually, just like him.

Wen Chernggang and Qu Wanying, upon hearing that it was an imperial prince, stood up nervously. Only Ye Liuyun remained seated.

As a wanted man by the empire, there was no need for him to be courteous to imperial officials.

He used Divine Sense to scan the surroundings, finding no hidden experts.

"Hey, why are you so nervous? I’m not here for you! Sit down, all of you!"

Meng Changxing said as he sat down first.

Wen Chernggang had secretly notified the army outside to be on guard. freewёbnoνel.com

After Meng Changxing sat down, he started to eat.

"I’ve been starving these past few days!" While wolfing down the food, he also vaguely spoke.

It was not until he ate up a plate of meat that he slowed down and picked up someone else’s wine to take a sip.

Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes had been monitoring Meng Changxing’s Virtuoso, but he detected no hostile intentions.

Meng Changxing took a deep breath, seemingly satisfied with his meal, and then turned to Qu Jing, saying, "You probably know me. It’s too boring to just stay in the capital for long, so I wander around instead.

"I happened to be traveling in this area and heard there’s a wanted person with exceptional abilities, so I came to see. I assume this is Mr. Ye?"

He gestured towards Ye Liuyun and introduced himself, "I’m Meng Changxing, a layabout who doesn’t bother with politics. Mr. Ye, don’t worry about me!"

Hearing Meng Changxing introduce himself without mentioning his imperial status and going straight to using his name, Ye Liuyun found the prince quite interesting.

"Prince, what brings you here uninvited? I assume there must be a reason." Ye Liuyun asked.

Meng Changxing’s interest was piqued when he heard that. He said to Ye Liuyun, "I heard that you’re quite capable, so I wanted to invite you to an adventure in the Southern Empire with me."

"I’m born to take risks. I don’t like to get involved in the empire’s political affairs, and I don’t want money. So you don’t have to worry. I won’t arrest you to get rewards."

Ye Liuyun smiled and said resolutely, "I don’t want to go on an adventure with someone I’m not familiar with!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Changxing slammed the table, which startled everyone.

"Haha, I knew you would say that! So I decided to hang out with you for a while. When we are familiar with each other, I will go with you!"

"Uh..." Ye Liuyun didn’t expect that he would be this stubborn.

But Ye Liuyun immediately asked, "How did you know we were here?"

"Oh, I met a messenger from the empire and learned about you, so I rushed over," Meng Changxing replied while continuing to eat.

Ye Liuyun didn’t believe that he didn’t care about political matters.

If he didn’t, how could he know a messenger from the empire and how did he find them?

Furthermore, what he said just now was to explore the Southern Empire. This was clearly to lure Ye Liuyun away and prevent him from causing trouble in the Northern Ghostwing Empire.

However, Meng Changxing’s proposal had truly moved Ye Liuyun.

Since the Northern Ghostwing Empire wanted him, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him to go to the Southern Empire to take a look! Maybe there would be other opportunities there!
