Chapter 1664: Chapter 1664 Take Your Head Down
In front of the Song family and the Shen family, Ye Liuyun showed no flaws.
But the troubles he encountered were not limited to these two families.
That night, a noble from the Devil Clan, accompanied by several guards, came to visit.
When the maid announced Ye Liuyun’s name, she also introduced the Devil Clan noble as Yelu Motian, a local power of the Devil Clan.
Upon meeting, Ye Liuyun took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Yelu, what brings you here?"
"Haha, I came to have a bowl of soup!" Yelu Motian, looking at Ye Liuyun, feigned laughter.
Then he threatened Ye Liuyun, "If I can’t have this human flesh soup, my men won’t spare their knives!"
"Oh? Which knife won’t spare?" Ye Liuyun asked calmly.
The Devil Clan seemed to have come for him, thinking they had him under their thumb.
To deal with these local Devil Clan members, Ye Liuyun had to be tough, showing his strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t fear him.
But if he were to confront them directly, these Devil Clan nobles would hold a grudge and continue to retaliate against him in secret.
So Ye Liuyun came up with a clever plan to make Yelu Motian retreat.
"Huh? Which knife?" Yelu Motian was puzzled. Then he asked Ye Liuyun, "You’re not thinking of fighting me for real, are you? If you fight me on my turf, you won’t gain any advantage!"
"How would I dare to fight you?" Ye Liuyun smiled. "But I’d like to make a bet with you to prove my strength!"
"Oh? You’re quite interesting!" Yelu Motian said. "I heard you intend to resell that female slave for a high price?" Yelu Motian couldn’t guess what Ye Liuyun was up to.
Ye Liuyun admitted directly, "That’s right! I noticed the presence of the Song family and the Shen family, and since they were interested in her, I decided to buy her and then resell her for profit!"
"You’ve misspoken. There’s no need to use that woman for soup. How do you think I should deal with you?" Yelü Motian asked with a smirk.
Ye Liuyun also smiled, "I’ll make a bet with you. If you win, you can stew this woman or take a share of the money. But if you lose, don’t meddle in my affairs in the future, to avoid any bad blood between us. How about it?"
"Oh?" Yelu Motian was intrigued by Ye Liuyun’s proposal, wanting to see what he would bet on.
"Tell me, what’s the bet?" Yelu Motian asked.
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "I bet that I can get your head tonight!"
"What did you say?" Yelu Motian’s face changed at once.
His guards behind him also drew their knives, ready to attack Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun just laughed and said to Yelü Motian, "Why so nervous? I only said ’can,’ not that I must take your head. We have no grievances, so what benefit would I gain from taking your head?"
"Oh?" Yelu Motian was still puzzled. He waved his hand, and the guards put away their knives.
Ye Liuyun explained to him, "Lend me a knife as a token. Then you can go back to sleep tonight, whether with Formations or skilled guards. I guarantee that the knife will be placed on your bedside by tomorrow morning!"
"This way, it proves that I have the ability to take your head, without actually having to do it, right?"
At this, Yelu Motian widened his eyes, finding the idea quite novel.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Yelu Motian asked. "If you lose, I won’t be lenient!"
Ye Liuyun nodded, "No problem, I’ll accept my defeat!"
"Alright, I agree!" Yelu Motian was also straightforward. He didn’t believe that Ye Liuyun could approach him unnoticed.
His family had its own castle, protected by Formations and expert.
Yelu Motian immediately ordered his men to bring out an ordinary knife.
After receiving it, he bit it to leave a mark.
Ye Liuyun was shocked after seeing this.
"Haha, to prevent you from cheating!" Yelü Motian laughed and threw the knife at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun smiled as he took the knife.
"Now can I leave?" Yelu Motian asked Ye Liuyun. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Of course!" Ye Liuyun confirmed.
The reason he was so confident was that Qiong Qi had just repaired his Concealcape and upgraded it.
Without Immortal Realm strongmen, no one could detect someone inside the Concealcape.
So Ye Liuyun had Qiong Qi help him deal with Yelu Motian to prevent the Devil Clan from causing trouble.
The Devil Clan was powerful locally, and Ye Liuyun couldn’t fight or compromise with them, so he could only use this method.
Qiong Qi found it amusing and agreed to help.
Just as Yelu Motian stepped out of Ye Liuyun’s courtyard, Ye Liuyun had already given Qiong Qi the knife Yelu Motian had bitten, confirming it was the same one.
Ye Liuyun no longer needed to worry. No one in this world could stop Qiong Qi from wearing the Concealcape.
Yelu Motian returned to his castle and ordered the guards to increase their patrols that night. He also borrowed several late-stage Sacred Majesty experts to guard around his residence.
The castle’s Formations were activated, including those around his residence.
Unbeknownst to him, Qiong Qi had followed him into his room.
Even if Qiong Qi hadn’t entered, the Formations here couldn’t stop him.
Next, Yelu Motian began to meditate. By the late night, he lay down to sleep.
He thought that as long as he kept his eyes open, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t dare to act.
He was also curious about what Ye Liuyun would do.
Seeing him like this, Qiong Qi secretly chuckled. First, he broke the formations around Yelu Motian’s residence. Then, he walked around the castle and lifted all the Formations there.
Afterward, he quietly returned to Yelü Motian’s room. When Yelu Motian fell asleep, he controlled the knife Yelu Motian had bitten, floating it in the air toward Yelu Motian’s forehead.
Then, Qiong Qi left the room, knocked out the experts Yelu Motian had called, drugged them, and threw them into Yelu Motian’s room.
Only after doing all this did Qiong Qi return to the inn, back to Ye Liuyun’s Spatial World.
The next morning, Yelü Motian woke up, startled by the sight of the knife tip in front of him.
He took the knife down, repeatedly confirmed it, and compared it to the bite mark, confirming it was undoubtedly the knife he had given Ye Liuyun.
