Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797 It’s All Mine
"Why didn’t you tell us then?" Ye Liuyun asked discontentedly.
"You wanted to gain experience, didn’t you? And, if i had directly ordered the slaughter of the village, what would you think of us?" Xiao Yunfang retorted.
After some thought, Ye Liuyun found Xiao Yunfang’s point reasonable. If Xiao Yunfang had directly ordered the slaughter of the village, they might indeed have blamed Xiao Yunfang for indiscriminate killing.
It’s just a pity that a few martial practitioner died in vain.
Ye Liuyun also went to check on Lei Ming and the other’s injuries.
Fortunately, they had all practiced the Fatal Scripture before, so the toxins has been refined into poison sources and absorbed by them, so there was no serious harm.
Lei Ming felt very downcast. Just a moment ago, she had been having a great time with a little girl, and suddenly the girl’s demeanor changed, waiting to kill her, which was quite hard for her to accept,
Ye Liuyun gently stroked her hair and comforted her by holding her in his arms for a moment.
"It’s okay! They’re no longer even considered human anymore; don’t let it bother you!"
Man Shu also clung to Ye Liuyun’s arm with lingering fear, leaning against his shoulder.
Just a moment ago, that old woman and several village woman were talking, and suddenly their faces twisted into a grimace, and one of them lunged at her with an open mouth, which really startled her.
"You all take your time to adapt! It seems that this border area is indeed very dangerous; we can’t trust anyone!" Ye Liuyun also reminded them.
This action made Xiao Yunfang see Ye Liuyun’s misconduct, feeling that he was behaving improperly by embracing both Man Shu and Lei Ming. The favourable impression that had just been established disappeared in a instant.
Many female soldiers were extremely jealous, while the male soldiers could only envy them.
Afterwards, they proceeded much more smoothly.
The three thousand praetorian led the way, almost obliterating anyone who stood in their path, without needing to distinguish between individuals or numbers.
Pei Yong and the others gradually woke up from their unconscious state, grateful that they escaped with their lives.
After traveling a few days, Ye Liuyun and his companions noticed that there were more ordinary people ahead of them.
Frequent battles erupted everywhere, but the bodies were always collected by the victorious side. In such places, bodies were even more valuable.
Soon, Ye Liuyun and his companions saw the first city. Soldiers lined walls, standing in formation, staring at them intently.
However, these soldiers were not wearing military attire, and it was unclear which faction they belonged to.
Xiao Yunfang directly ordered the spear team to bypass the city and continue moving forward.
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and then directly applied to leave the team with Zhang Wencai.
"Alright! Be sure to take care!" Zhang Wencai naturally agreed to Ye Liuyun.
After all, their main purpose in coming was to accompany Ye Liuyun. So they had to let him have some freedom to gain experience. Following the praetorian, Ye Liuyun hardly had any chance to take action.
The other martial practitioner felt that it was safer to follow the praetorian, hence Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong decided to follow them together.
Ye Liuyun left the group and, along with Lei Ming and the others, changed out of their military attire and headed straight for the city.
"Non-residents entering the city are charged ten divine crystals per person." The guard at the city gate said directly to Ye Liuyun and the others.
Moreover, those people, eyeing Man Shu, Lei Ming and the others, seemed to harbor ill intentions.
"What if we don’t have divine crystals?" Ye Liuyun didn’t intend to give them the divine crystals directly.
"Blood Pills will do, one for each person, even for the feral beast." the guard said impatiently.
Ye Liuyun immediately took out six blood demon pills he had obtained earlier and only then did the guard allow them into the city.
The situation within the city isn’t optimistic either. There are quite a few beggars on the streets begging from people.
But within the city, there’s no shortage of taverns, brothels, and guilds. Ye Liuyun scanned with his Divine Sense and found that there were still quite a few people in places like taverns and guilds.
Suddenly, the sound of a fight erupted ahead as a martial practitioner was killed on the street, and his Interspatial Ring was snatched away.
The body was then seized by several beggars. Some beggars even went directly to the body, tore off the shoes, and put them on their own feet.
There are also quite a few people on the street, with regular movement. Some small businesses are also operating as usual. Those beggars don’t dare to rob or harass the merchants.
Ye Liuyun led Man Shu and the others, rushing towards the guild first, intending to check the prices of goods.
The prices here, however, were exorbitant. Ye Liuyun thought about selling some elixirs to this guild, believing it count earn him more spirit crystals.
But unexpectedly, their purchasing price was ridiculously low, barely higher than what he paid for the medical herbs. Of course, he couldn’t sell at such a price.
But the steward of the guild immediately turned hostile.
"After asking around for half a day, you just don’t want to sell? Do you think this is some kind of place where you can just come and go as you please, fooling around?" The steward said grimly.
"What? If the price isn’t right, I can’t refuse to sell?" Ye Liuyun retorted.
"Hmph, I bet you don’t even have that many elixirs. You’re just here to cause trouble! Guards!" The steward immediately called for the guards.
As soon as he shouted, more than a ten martial partitioner at the second and third level immediately surrounded Ye Liuyun and the others.
"If you can’t produce three thousand elixir today, don’t even think about leaving!" the steward said arrogantly and unreasonably.
"So, it’s a shady business!" Ye Liuyun sneered, refusing to be intimidated by these minor characters.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun wasn’t afraid, the steward glanced at the women beside him, then quickly spoke up.
"We’re not bullying you! We’re in the right here. Let’s go to the Lord’s manor and present our case. We can ask the Lord to make the judgement." The steward said.
Ye Liuyun smirked coldly, "Alright! You think I wouldn’t dare to go with you?"
"Good, bold enough, let’s go!" The steward also agreed, and they set off.
Under the watchful eye of the guards, Ye Liuyun and the others also hurried towards the Lord’s Manor.
On the way, the people they encountered all looked on indifferently, not saying a word. Some even seemed to take pressure in the situation.
Arriving at the Lord’s manor, Ye Liuyun and the others were also amazed by what they saw.
Inside the main hall of the Lord’s manor, there was a large dining table filled with various delicacies and fine wines, laid out for a feast.
A big fat man with a smug expression sat in the Lord’s seat, surrounded by several scantily clad beauties, attending to his every need as he ate and drank.
Encountering such a lord for the first time, they felt as if they had stumbled into a den of thieves.
"Lord, I’ve brought you some people! And a few beauties too!" The steward immediately started to flatter.
The big fat man glanced at the women beside Ye Liuyun’s side and immediately grinned with delight.
"Haha, not bad! I’ll give you some credit for this, kid."
With that, he pushed aside one of the woman beside him and waved to Lei Ming and the others, saying, "Beauty, come over here quickly. I have everything you need to eat and drink."
"Don’t you want to ask why we’re here?" Ye Liuyun spoke up.
"Huh? There’s one more? Do I need to ask? Hahaha, this whole city belongs to me!" the lord laughed heartily."
"Lord, this kid might have some goods on him! He’s probably a fat sheep!" The steward bowed and fawned as he reported.
"Guards, confiscate their storage spaces. Take the men to the alchemy room and leave the women with me!" The Lord ordered directly.
"Yes."
Several guards nodded in acknowledgement and immediately rushed over.
