Chapter 1878: Chapter 1878 Haven’t Paid Yet
After the battle, Ye Liuyun’s advance energy was nearly depleted. He immediately took out a Storage Stone to absorb its energy, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the bodies on the ground into his Spatial World.
Just as Lin Xiyao let out a sigh of relief, another voice rang out.
"Hahaha. Well done!"
Over twenty people had once again surrounded Ye Liuyun, among them was a martial practitioner grabbing Shangguan Minghe.
The martial practitioner threw Shangguan Minghe on the ground and pointed at him, saying, "He told us y’all found the spiritual ginseng!"
Ye Liuyun and Lin Xiyao were both taken aback.
"How did he know?" Ye Liuyun wondered inwardly.
However, Lin Xiyao retorted directly, "Nonsense!"
The martial practitioner on the opposing side responded with a grin, looking at Shangguan Minghe, "Oops, they say you’re talking nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense, they really found it. How else would they end up getting attacked?" Shangguan Minghe insisted.
"Shangguan Minghe, I can’t believe you’re actually this despicable!" Lin Xiyao angrily exclaimed.
After her words, Ye Liuyun calmly added, "Whether he’s talking nonsense, searching his Divine Soul will tell!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Minghe shook with fear.
"Hahaha!" The martial practitioner on the other side also broke into laughter.
He then told Ye Liuyun, "I know he’s lying. But there are so many of us, even if you can fight again, you just fought one. Your genuine energy should be drained, right? Why not just hand over your Interspatial Ring, leave this woman behind, and we’ll let you go? How does that sound?"
At this, Lin Xiyao’s eyes also dimmed. Ye Liuyun had just exhausted all his strength to save her. She’d never expected herself to fall into danger again.
"Thank you for doing so much for me! Just go, I won’t blame you! Don’t stay here and die with me!" Lin Xiyao said to Ye Liuyun.
"You know what will happen to you once I leave?" Ye Liuyun counter-asked.
Yet, Lin Xiyao took out a dagger and pointed it at her own heart.
"They won’t get what they want!"
"Haha, don’t even think about it!" The martial practitioner on the other side laughed, releasing his mid-stage Fifth Realm power.
Right away, Lin Xiyao’s body froze and the dagger was unable to pierce through her chest.
Then the martial practitioner reached out and snatched the dagger away.
At this time, Ye Liuyun also said to Lin Xiyao, "See? This is what happens to you!"
Seeing that Ye Liuyun had the leisure to taunt Lin Xiyao, the martial practitioner shouted at him, "Not gonna leave, huh?"
After this, Lin Xiyao closed her eyes. There were even tears flowing down.
"Go!" She then said, biting her lip.
However, Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "Well, didn’t you ask for my help? You haven’t paid me yet, how can I leave?"
Hearing these words, Lin Xiyao opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun just waved his hand with a smile and released the Vermilion Bird and the Devil Beasts from his Spatial World.
"Kill them all!"
Ye Liuyun directly commanded.
The Vermilion Bird spit out flames, aiming straight at the leading martial practitioner while the other Devil Beasts also took action. These feral beasts were of a higher realm, taking down these martial practitioners was child’s play for them. They could easily squash them with a single move.
Just the imposing aura of the Vermilion Bird alone was enough to prevent them from escaping even if they wanted to.
The Vermilion Bird also took the opportunity to absorb the enemies’ Divine Soul Force, compensating for its own loss of Divine Soul Force.
Its method of absorbing Divine Souls was distinctive. First, it would burn the person to death, then devour their Yin-soul.
"Here’s one more." Ye Liuyun gestured towards Shangguan Minghe who was crouching in the middle of the field.
"Mr. Ye, spare me, please! I had no choice. I’ll do anything you ask of me! Please!" Shangguan Minghe pleaded pitifully, kowtowing continuously.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyao felt sympathy for him and persuaded, "Why not spare him, and let him do things for you?"
"Kill him!" Ye Liuyun decisively commanded.
Immediately, the Vermilion Bird released a blaze of flame that was aimed at him, simultaneously consuming his Yin-soul.
Lin Xiyao felt rather embarrassed and explained to Ye Liuyun, "I just want you to use him and get his family to pay some ransom."
Ye Liuyun was too lazy to listen to her explanation, and dismissively responded, "You’re too naive! People like him, if we let him go, he’ll just spit nonsense and accuse us of robbing him!"
He then ordered the feral beasts to keep the Interspatial Rings and weapons for him while allowing them to divide the food among themselves. Afterward, he swiftly put away all the Devil Beasts, leaving only the Vermilion Bird.
"You stay behind to lead the way. Recover your Divine Soul Force also."
Ye Liuyun pointed out a direction to the Vermilion Bird.
Then he said to Lin Xiyao, "We’ve got to go. If we stay here, we’ll run into other martial practitioners."
"But that’s not where we came from!" Lin Xiyao looked in that direction, puzzled.
"You think if you go back the way you came, the garrison and the martial practitioners waiting outside will let you go?" Ye Liuyun questioned.
"Oh!" Lin Xiyao responded and followed behind Ye Liuyun.
After walking a few steps, she asked again, "You have so many feral beasts, can you..."
"No." Ye Liuyun interrupted her directly, knowing that she wanted to go on and look for spiritual ginseng.
So he looked for the spiritual ginseng in his Spatial World and spoke, "Give me one of your roots."
"No way. It took years to grow!" The spiritual ginseng protested.
"Then I’m gonna have to turn you in, or there’s no way to explain!" Ye Liuyun intentionally said so and pretended to take action.
"Hey, hey, wait. I’ll give you, alright? We can negotiate a bit, right? Why’s the hurry?! Young man, calm your horses..."
Ye Liuyun didn’t bother listening to its whining, directly locking onto a relatively thin root and plucking it off.
The entire Spatial World was controlled by him so the spiritual ginseng couldn’t resist at all.
"Ouch! It hurts! I said I’d give it to you, why do it yourself? I just told you to calm your..."
Before the spiritual ginseng could finish, Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense had already retracted from the Spatial World.
"Here, take it!" Ye Liuyun handed over the root hair to Lin Xiyao and said, "I couldn’t catch the spiritual ginseng at all. I can only pull off one of the roots with Vermilion Bird’s help. If we move forward, even the Vermilion Bird can’t help!"
"You found it? Is this really the root hair of the spiritual ginseng? I’m gonna sue it to save someone’s life. This is no joke!"
Lin Xiyao said and extended her hand to take it, but Ye Liuyun drew his hand back.
Lin Xiyao realised that she hadn’t agreed on a price with Ye Liuyun yet. So she said, "If you can guarantee this is really the root hair of the spiritual ginseng, I’ll buy it at market price."
At this, Ye Liuyun replied, "Then let’s sign a Divine Soul Contract. I promise it’s really the spiritual ginseng’s root hair, and you also have to promise not to reveal any of my secrets. You can only tell others that a masked devil cultivator sold it to you."
"Okay, no problem!" Lin Xiyao agreed instantly.
After Ye Liuyun signed the Divine Soul Contract with her, he handed over the root hair.
"It really is the spiritual ginseng’s root hair!" Lin Xiyao finally believed.
Once she carefully stored the root hair, she handed over an Interspatial Ring to Ye Liuyun.
"This is all I have now! I’ll owe the rest for now. I’m gonna have to hire you to escort me back to the Lin family’s place. I’ll pay you then, is that okay?" Lin Xiyao asked.
