Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719 Why Bother Leaving
Ye Liuyun finally understood why most of the people in Li family village were elders and children. It seemed that the young people had all been taken away.
"They didn’t take you?" Ye Liuyun suddenly thought. Li Laodie had the highest cultivation level, yet he wasn’t captured!
"The most powerful person within the city lord’s quarters has the same level as mine. They don’t dare to capture me."
Li Laodie explained and then quickly returned to the village, lest the people from the city lord’s mansion bully the villagers. Only then did Ye Liuyun realize that in a city lord’s mansion, those at the level of Immortal Realm second stage were considered highly skilled!
Only then did Ye Liuyun realize that in a city lord’s mansion, those at the level of Immortal Realm second stage were considered highly skilled!
He was also thinking, "If one could fight against different clans, couldn’t they obtain resources! It should be a good thing, right?"
Ye Liuyun found a concealed spot on the high ground, observing the situation in Li family Village from a distance.
His Golden Phantom Eyes allowed him to see the situation in the village clearly.
"Hmm? Why are those people all surrounding Li Laodie’s house?" Ye Liuyun found it strange, it seemed like Li Laodie was arguing with them and also slapped Xingnan.
At that time, Li Laodie hastily returned. He said something to those people and they dispersed.
Ye Liuyun could not hear what they were saying, he could only observe.
Among the people from the city lord’s mansion, most were of the Immortal Realm first stage, with only the leading person at the beginning stage of the Immortal Realm second stage.
This stage was not as high as Li Laodie’s, but one could say it was much stronger than most.
Ye Liuyun waited until those people left and then returned to Li Laodie’s house.
Li Laodie had already left, and only Li Laodie and Li Xingnan were here.
Upon seeing Ye Liu Yun’s return, Li Xingnan pouted his lips and began to cry again.
"What happened?" Ye Liuyun quickly took him in his arms and asked about the situation.
Tears choked Li Xingnan as he told Ye Liuyun, "The people who just came asked if I have any elder brothers, sisters, or uncles and aunts at home. I told them I did, but grandpa said we don’t have any and punished me!" Ye Liuyun instantly understood that his existence had been revealed to the people from the city lord’s mansion.
As he comforted Li Xingnan, Ye Liuyun gave Li Laodie a smile and said, "Those people are so cunning, asking such questions from a child!"
Li Laodie sighed, "There’s no helping it! The child is still too young and naive. He exposed you! You must leave tonight, perhaps you can escape the lockdown imposed by the city lord’s mansion!"
"Will they stop troubling you if I leave?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
"Well, what can they do to an old man like me! And, we still have Li Laodie with us, he will protect us!
I couldn’t protect my son and daughter-in-law back then, I have regretted it for so many years, I don’t want anyone to risk their lives again!"
Li Laodie remembered his own son and could not help but feel heartbroken.
Ye Liuyun took out a Sacred Realm beast and immediately began roasting it, giving the remaining meat to Li Laodie.
Seeing the roasted meat, Li Xingnan stopped crying promptly, had a big feast and went back to sleep.
While Li Xingnan was sleeping, Ye Liuyun handed over the mortal realm beast meat that he had stored to Li Laodie.
He only kept the Brutal Bear from today’s hunt, leaving the rest behind.
He didn’t give it in front of Li Xingnan for fear that the kid would inadvertently expose him again, arousing people’s jealousy.
"This is too much!" Li Laodie was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.
In the end, he gave half of the God Realm beast meat back to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun’s carried beast meat is indeed quite a lot, piled up like a small mountain.
"This should be enough for Xingnan to eat for a while! You keep the rest. You just came here; you also need to stock up on some meat. Just in case..."
Li Laodie stopped for awhile, seeming to have more to say. freewebnøvel.com
Presumably, he wanted to say, just in case Ye Liuyun is caught by the city lord’s mansion and sent to the battlefield, it’s good to have something to eat! "
Ye Liuyun didn’t decline anymore and packed up all the divine realm beast meat. Afterward, Ye Liuyun inquired about exchanging the beast’s Yuan Dan for the Dan formula.
For a regular virtuoso formula, one virtuoso may be able to exchange it for more than a dozen. But for some higher-level virtuoso formulae, I fear that all these virtuosos you have combined couldn’t even be exchanged for one!" Li Laodie explained.
Later, he glanced at the darkening sky and urged Ye Liuyun to hurry.
But Ye Liuyun smiled and said, "Why bother leaving? I’m about to head to the battlefield of the foreign race to gain experience. Besides, if I leave, it will only cause trouble for you!"
"What? You... you don’t want to live anymore?" Li Laodie spoke in a furious manner.
"Could you tell me, what’s the process when the city lord’s mansion sends someone to the battlefield of the foreign race?" Ye Liuyun smiled but didn’t reply, only inquiring about the process of sending people from the city lord’s mansion.
"Let me tell you, and you’ll know how terrifying it is!" Li Laodie immediately began to tell Ye Liuyun.
"After the city lord’s mansion captures people, they’ll be detained together. Each person will be given equal training resources, and then they’ll be made to fight each other. Among thousands, only a hundred will be chosen to be sent to the battlefield of the foreign race.
"My son and daughter-in-law are both useless, they might die in this round. Everyone fights desperately to win because those who lose either die on the spot or have to return the resources provided by the city lord’s mansion.
"If they can’t repay, they’ll be sold to the city lord’s mansion and become slaves for life. Those people from the city lord’s mansion are ruthless’; they’ll demand double the interest from them. We common folk won’t be able to afford it!"
"There are resources distributed as well?" Ye Liuyun also became interested.
He listened to Li Laodie’s narration and got a rough idea of the situation.
Since leaving home, Ye Liuyun had experienced numerous rounds of centralized elimination training. Although this was the God Realm, the general situation should be similar.
"It’s said that those resources are barely enough for cultivation. Think about it, if your strength isn’t enough and you’re sent to fight the foreign race, aren’t you just waiting to be eaten by them?"
Li Laodie also knew that Ye Liuyun lacked resources. However, the things provided by the city lord’s mansion were simply not enough to significantly improve the strength of martial practitioners.
Ye Liuyun also knew that the resources provided by the city lord’s mansion might not be enough. But he could just snatch them by force when the time comes! At worst, he could let the Devil Vine wipe out the entire city lord’s mansion.
In the entire city lord’s mansion, the highest cultivation level is only at the second stage of the Immortal Realm. Even the Devil Vine could handle them. So he wasn’t worried at all. freēwebnovel.com
He was actually looking forward to it now.
Li Laodie, on the other hand, became worried and tried to persuade him for a long time, but he wouldn’t listen.
The terrifying things that were daunting for Li Laodie were just ordinary for him. They were all things he had experienced before.
Even if everything proceeded normally, it would just be a repetition of what he had experienced before.
So after comforting Li Laodie for a while, he returned to his room to practice cultivation.
Now with no other resources, he temporarily focused on cultivating the powers of flame, ice and the Buddhist-Devil.
