Chapter 942: Chapter 942 Easy To Handle
"Something’s bad!"
King Xiao had a premonition that something was wrong.
"The devil cultivators are attacking us on a large scale, and the defense power of our palace is very weak now. Wouldn’t I be in danger?"
King Xiao thought it would be too late to contact other forces and ask for help at this moment.
Therefore, he made a prompt decision by bringing a few experts at the Honorable Level onto the warship and withdrew ahead in advance.
Ye Liuyun could see all their actions clearly with the Golden Phantom Eyes.
He could even see clearly that King Xiao had put on his cloak, covered his face, and disguised his identity.
"If King Xiao wants to escape, I’ll leave the rest to you!" Ye Liuyun informed Qin Peng.
The Skeleton Golem on the ground waved its Soul Flag and all the Yin-souls were kept by it. Ye Liuyun used his Golden Phantom Eyes to move it back into his Interspatial Ring, and then urged the Dracaena to chase after the escaping warship of King Xiao.
"Hurry up and rob the treasury of the palace!"
As soon as Ye Liuyun left, Qin Peng urged the soldiers to speed up their movements. The five feral beasts at the Honorable Level also began to exert their full power to kill the soldiers in King Xiao’s manor.
The fifty thousand soldiers of King Xiao were trapped by two thousand of them. They wouldn’t be able to escape even if they wanted to.
In the end, more than ten thousand soldiers were forced into the middle of the residence. They were then killed by the five feral beasts.
"Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible!"
Qin Peng first commanded the soldiers to clean the battlefield, then divided them into two teams. All of them rushed to King Xiao’s manor.
After the battle ended, these elite soldiers cleaned up the battlefield while taking Vital-regaining Pills to recover their genuine energy.
Only Ye Liuyun was able to present two thousand Vital-regaining Pills. They were all spoils of war that he’d obtained from the sect’s disciples during battle.
Under the leadership of the five feral beasts at the Honorable Level, the two thousand soldiers charged into King Xiao’s manor. freēwebnovel.com
The experts in King Xiao’s manor knew that the lord had already left, so they just pretended to resist for a while and immediately retreated.
Those ordinary guards couldn’t stop the two thousand elite soldiers and feral beasts at all, so they were all killed.
Qin Peng plundered the entire treasure vault and immediately retreated with the soldiers without wasting any time.
"Lord Ye, we’re going to retreat!"
Before the army left, Qin Peng used the Sound Transmission Talisman to leave a message for Ye Liuyun.
"King Xiao has been killed by me. You can go now. I’ll go back to the college first, and then I’ll return to Yonglie Island."
Ye Liuyun also sent a message back to Qin Peng.
At this time, the Devil Vine was absorbing the genuine energy and blood of those martial practitioners inside King Xiao’s warship.
Ye Liuyun had already sucked King Xiao’s Divine Soul into his Divine Soul and did not absorb it into the Soul Flag.
He was afraid that the Yin-soul would leave weakness on him in the future.
In this battle, Ye Liuyun drove the Dracaena to catch up with King Xiao’s warship. After that, he threw down the seed of Devil Vine and killed them all.
The whole battle to destroy King Xiao went extremely smoothly.
This had something to do with the lack of awareness among King Xiao’s soldiers because they had never expected that someone would dare to attack King Xiao’s manor.
After Devil Vine finished dealing with the people in the warship, Ye Liuyun went to keep the corpse into his Interspatial Ring. Then, he burned it and erased its traces.
Later, he drove the Dracaena back to Hidden Dragon Academy.
Ye Liuyun estimated that some people would still suspect him of killing King Xiao, even though he put the blame on others.
As a result, he had to go back to the academy to see the fourth prince’s attitude.
In addition, he also wanted to reach an agreement with the fourth prince about the Devil Region.
If Ye Liuyun could get the support of the fourth prince, his expansion speed would be much faster.
If the fourth prince did not support him, he would also send out troops to occupy the territory first and wait to see what would happen next.
By the time Ye Liuyun returned to the academy, the news of King Xiao’s death had already spread here.
Everyone in the academy suspected that it was Ye Liuyun’s deeds. After all, the conflict between Ye Liuyun and King Xiao had been the deepest during this period of time.
However, they were all suspicious, while none of them had any evidence. The others were even more confused as to why the devil cultivators would stand up for Ye Liuyun.
As soon as Ye Liuyun returned to the academy, Lingshuang took the lead in finding him.
"Did you kill King Xiao?" Lingshuang did not beat around the bush.
"Yes! Someone who pretended to be a devil cultivator did it!" Ye Liuyun’s answer was also very straightforward, and he did not intend to hide it from her.
On the other hand, Lingshuang was very pleased with Ye Liuyun’s honesty.
"Then, how are you going to deal with the investigation of the Royal Management?"
"What can the Royal Management find out? It’s all done by devil cultivators!" Ye Liuyun said indifferently.
"That depends on whether the Royal Management wants to investigate thoroughly! Don’t underestimate Royal Management’s ability!" Lingshuang reminded Ye Liuyun
"Hmm. I know of the Royal Management’s strength. However, it’s just a duke who died. The Royal Management won’t carry out their investigation too seriously." Ye Liuyun comforted Lingshuang.
Lingshuang thought for a moment, feeling that Ye Liuyun was right. This was a personal grudge between noble lords, and generally speaking, the Royal Management wouldn’t interfere too much.
"Are you always so cruel to those who have a grudge against you?"
Lingshuang remembered what had happened in Emperor Ning’s manor, so she asked Ye Liuyun about it.
Ye Liuyun smiled. "I won’t offend others if they don’t make things difficult for me! However, I will let them have a terrible outcome if anyone who provokes me!"
Lingshuang also smiled. In fact, she really admired Ye Liuyun’s straightforward character.
After a while, Yuan Datou, Liang Xinyu, and others rushed over one after another.
They also asked about King Xiao’s matter, but Ye Liuyun only told them the news he just received.
Liang Xinyu and the others did not dare get too close to Ye Liuyun.
Liang Xinyu felt that Ye Liuyun was a troublemaker, and she didn’t have the ability to help him solve the problem. Thus, she didn’t ask too much but politely left after greeting him.
After Liang Xinyu and others left, Ye Liuyun asked Lingshuang, "Are the fourth prince and the seventh prince in the academy?"
"They’re all here, but what are you going to do?" Lingshuang asked worriedly.
"I want to discuss something with them!" Ye Liuyun felt that there was no need for him to tell Lingshuang about the Devil Region.
Lingshuang looked at him. If it was something related to power, she also didn’t want to get involved.
However, she was worried that Ye Liuyun still held a grudge against the seventh prince and wanted to kill him.
"Don’t tell me you still hold a grudge against the seventh prince?" She asked tentatively.
"Don’t worry! I won’t kill him for your sake! I was just trying to scare him before." Ye Liuyun looked at Lingshuang with a smile.
Only then did Lingshuang realize Ye Liuyun had already seen through her thoughts.
Her face turned slightly red. "Thank you so much!"
After Lingshuang left, Yuan Datou asked Ye Liuyun, "Boss, did you kill King Xiao?"
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun nodded and did not hide it from him.
"I knew it!" Yuan Datou gave him a thumbs-up. "Can you take me with you when you do such a big thing again? Although I can’t help you, it’s good for me to go and have a look!"
Instead, Ye Liuyun smiled and answered, "Hey, hurry up and raise your strength! Otherwise, I won’t call you along in the future!"
Although Ye Liuyun was joking, what he said was also true. Yuan Datou’s strength wasn’t good enough, so Ye Liuyun naturally couldn’t bring him along in some dangerous battles.
