Chapter 3590: Careless and Underestimating the Enemy
Li Qianjiao also gradually discovered that Ye Liuyun was not a lustful man. No matter what kind of woman he faced, his eyes were clear and there was no evil thought.
She even felt that Ye Liuyun was a little dull in terms of emotions and could not see the woman's mind at all.
"How did he find so many women?" Li Qianjiao once asked Tang Xinyao privately.
"A man like him still needs to find women? He can't even refuse!" Tang Xinyao sighed.
Li Qianjiao did not comment. He did not fully understand Ye Liuyun's strength and character. He was now more concerned about the problem from the perspective of family tasks.
Ye Liuyun and his team's battle was also without suspense. The demon cultivators in the formation were killed by them one by one, and the demon cultivators outside the formation were also killed by thundering monsters. Ye Liuyun gave the resources directly to the monsters as their cultivation resources. If they had to come out to fight, they would have to give them more benefits.
The two demon cultivators he subdued would be left for Xu Rong to manage in the future. The demon that Lei Ming subdued was called Duanmu Xin, but he was a direct descendant of the Duanmu family and had a high status in their family.
As soon as he was released, he negotiated with Ye Liuyun: "Our Duanmu family can use a lot of resources to redeem me. You are just trying to make money, there is no need to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs." This guy probably had a plan in place.
Ye Liuyun thought about it and decided to plant a slave seal on Duanmu Xin first to confirm the authenticity, and then let Duanmu Xin use his sound transmission note to contact the family and ask for a ransom.
Ye Liuyun opened his mouth and said 500 original powers, and did not allow them to bargain.
"I'll give you a time limit. If we can't get the ransom from your family before we return to the royal city, I will cut off your head directly!" Ye Liuyun threatened Duanmu Xin directly.
Duanmu Xin did not dare to refute under the control of Ye Liuyun's slave seal, and immediately told the family the truth.
"Do you really want to let him go? I think these demons are not simple. If you let him go, there will be endless troubles!" Li Qianjiao reminded Ye Liuyun on the side.
"That's better. We are worried about not having opponents!" Ye Liuyun didn't care.
He had learned through soul searching that the Duanmu family was one of the most powerful families in the demons, but after all, this was the territory of the human race, and they couldn't attack in large numbers.
What Ye Liuyun wanted was not only to collect resources, but also to find a strong opponent for himself, so that they wouldn't be too idle.
But the other party immediately replied to Ye Liuyun, confirming that they would definitely collect the ransom before they arrived at the palace.
"It's really refreshing! Is your position in your family so important?" Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that he was a little short.
"It is very important, responsible for infiltrating the northern market. But five hundred origin powers are not a small number." Duanmu Xin said more calmly.
Ye Liuyun looked at him and suddenly felt that he seemed to underestimate the enemy. Once Duanmu Xin was let go, he might become his strong enemy in the future.
But he still didn't change his mind. He felt that since he could capture Duanmu Xin once, he could capture him again.
Ye Liuyun and others did not delay any longer and returned to the city to join other mercenaries.
As for the situation in the secret realm, Ye Liuyun was too lazy to investigate. He now had a hostage worth 500 original powers in his hand, so there was no need to waste more time, lest there be more trouble.
He estimated that the Duanmu family might not give up the rescue, and perhaps someone would come to intercept them on the way. So he asked Lei Ming to keep Duanmu Xin and not expose him, and the others should be on full alert on the way back.
Xu Rong and other mercenary teams also immediately followed Ye Liuyun's instructions, gave up the tasks they were performing, and returned one after another.
Ye Liuyun asked the metal puppet and Xu Rong to drive the flying boat, and he stayed in the flying boat with the woman to release his spiritual sense and monitor the situation outside.
As expected, Duanmu Tang did not give up all the way, and kept sending assassins to attack and martial artists to intercept. Their targets were all heading for Ye Liuyun.
So their realms are not necessarily very high, but they are more hidden. One of the killers is good at invisibility and is also at the seventh level. Li Qianjiao killed him.
On the way, they also fought a battle with a large group of martial artists who intercepted them, and Ye Liuyun won again. However, these magic cultivators were controlled by others, so the battle was very crazy.
More than a dozen mercenaries on Ye Liuyun's side were also killed. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun captured several magic cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels as supplements, so that the strength of the mercenary group was not weakened.
He also planted slave marks on those captives, and then erased all the control marks in their minds, so that Duanmu Tang could no longer control them.
Afterwards, it may be that Duanmu Tang discovered that some of the martial artists they controlled had lost contact, so they stopped sending people, but gave all the original power promised to Ye Liuyun to him before Ye Liuyun entered the royal city.
Ye Liuyun kept his promise and released Duanmu Xin on the spot. Even the slave mark was removed on the spot, so that they would not go back to study the method of cracking it.
As soon as Duanmu Xin's slave seal was removed and he was no longer under control, his eyes turned sinister towards Ye Liuyun.
"Haha, Duanmu Xin, I welcome you to come for revenge anytime, but I hope you won't let me down!"
Ye Liuyun even deliberately angered Duanmu Xin.
Duanmu Xin also had a gloomy face and left with the people who came to redeem him without saying a word.
The more he did this, the more Ye Liuyun knew that this guy was holding a grudge against him and would definitely find a chance to retaliate.
So Ye Liuyun was in a good mood, waiting for Duanmu Tang to attack him again.
"Xu Rong, take the people to hand in the task, and everyone else go back to practice and prepare for a bigger task."
Ye Liuyun still didn't go to see Song Qing directly. He felt that even if Song Qing saw him now, he wouldn't pay too much attention to them, so it's better to wait until Song Qing wants to see him.
The palace didn't waste any words this time. After confirming the head, they paid the bounty directly. Ye Liuyun and his friends gained a lot this time. The resources he needed to provide for the golden egg were not lacking.
After returning to his residence, Ye Liuyun also began to seize the time to use the golden egg to improve his realm. The golden egg had been fed to 90% of its size. If Ye Liuyun didn't consume it, the golden egg would stop absorbing energy.
He used the golden egg to practice, and the energy in it was more refined than his divine essence, which could quickly improve his realm and soon let him reach the late fourth level of Taixu.
Seeing that only 20% of his energy had been consumed, Ye Liuyun decided to continue using that energy to consolidate his realm, stabilizing it at the critical point between the late fourth stage and the peak fourth stage.
Ye Liuyun also replenished the remaining energy into his soul, and only stopped again after consuming 50% of the energy of the golden egg.
