Chapter 2169: Chapter 2169 Hate Threats
"Even in death, we won’t let you have your way!" Zhao Mingcheng shouted coldly.
"Death? You wish! Have I agreed? I’m not done playing with the one I’ve taken a liking to. How could I possibly let you die! I will make you watch, hopelessly, as the people of your family suffer and die one by one in front of you. Hahaha..."
Chen Tao let out a shameless laugh.
The Zhaos frowned but none of them showed any sign of backing down.
"Stop wasting your breath on this beast, kill him!"
Zhao Mingcheng waved her spear, ready to lead the family to charge.
"Charge!" The disciples also cried out as they all directed their attacks toward Chen Tao.
"Restrain Zhao Mingcheng and kill the rest!" Chen Tao too commanded his men.
Immediately, a late-ninth-realm used his power to restrain Zhao Mingcheng, rendering her immobilized.
The others charged towards the disciples of Zhao family.
The disciples generally had much lower strength than these men. Once a brawl started, they were at a clear disadvantage.
"Attack!"
Ye Liuyun immediately commanded his people to move.
The clone immediately stealthily pounced on Chen Tao, while he himself drew his Bow, aiming at the one controlling Zhao Mingcheng.
The sudden turn of events caught both sides off guard, leaving them puzzled about the origins of Ye Liuyun’s group.
They were about to collide, but they all stopped suddenly.
Yet Ye Liuyun managed to kill a late-ninth-realm with a single arrow. At the same time, Chen Tao was dragged by his clone to stand in front of Ye Liuyun, a hand crushing his throat.
"Who are you people, to dare lay your hands on us?"
"Release our young master at once, or else..."
The three remaining martial practitioners were about to threaten Ye Liuyun.
But he gave them a cold, amused look, hoisted up his foot, and kicked directly at Chen Tao, breaking his virtuoso with one kick.
"Mmm..."
Chen Tao wanted to wail, but with Ye Liuyun’s hand around his throat, no sound could come out. His eyes rolled back and he directly blacked out.
"You..." The men looked dumbfounded, not expecting Ye Liuyun to be so ruthless, to actually lay a hand on Chen Tao.
"I absolutely hate threats! Dare to threaten me another time, and let’s see if I dare to squash his head!" said Ye Liuyun in a cold voice.
By this time, the clone had already thrown the unconscious Chen Tao onto the ground before Ye Liuyun stepped a foot on his head.
"Stop it! Let’s talk this out!"
They immediately did not dare to make a move.
If Chen Tao died, they couldn’t answer for it when they returned. They could end up worse off than Chen Tao.
"Stand still, don’t move, or you’ll have to answer for his death!"
Upon seeing that they were genuinely afraid of having Chen Tao’s head squashed, Ye Liuyun immediately started to intimidate them.
As expected, they all stood still in their spots, not daring to make any moves.
Ye Liuyun and his clone immediately released their divine souls and imposed a Slaving Seal on the 3 late-ninth-realms.
There was already a servant contract each of them had signed with Chen Batian on their divine souls.
By now, Chen Batian also got to know the situation here and immediately sent help. However, by the time they made it here, a few days would have passed.
Before, Chen Batian hadn’t expected that the four men wouldn’t be able to protect his son. It seemed that they had encountered some powerful expert this time.
So, he promptly dispatched 10 more at full speed towards Aetherealm.
After Ye Liuyun had taken control of the three late-ninth-realms, he permitted Liu Yang, Yuan Bin, and others to make a move on Chen Tao’s other martial practitioners.
Zhao Mingchen also availed this opportunity to lead the disciples to round up these people.
Now that these folks were the ones at a disadvantage, the Zhaos killed pleasurably as a form of avenging their clan leader.
After the battle ended, Zhao Mingchen came over to express her gratitude to Ye Liuyun.
"Thank you, young master, for your help! May I ask your name?"
Ye Liuyun returned her gratitude with a smile and didn’t answer her question, but just had his clone release a divine soul into her Ocean of Consciousness.
"It’s you? How did you get here? I heard that the Revival Dynasty plans to deal with you!" Zhao Mingchen was initially shocked, but she immediately cheered up after recognizing that it’s Ye Liuyun.
She even promptly reminded Ye Liuyun about the Dynasty’s plans, indicating that she had been keeping tabs on news related to him.
"That’s why I disguised myself! Make sure not to reveal my identity!" Ye Liuyun reminded, and immediately withdrew from Zhao Mingcheng’s consciousness.
She took a good look at Ye Liuyun and secretly sent him a message, "Your disguise technique is really amazing, I can’t see any flaws!"
"How else could I have eluded the chase from the Dynasty!" Ye Liuyun replied nonchalantly.
"And them?" Zhao Mingcheng looked at the men beside him.
"They are all my people!" Ye Liuyun gave a brief introduction.
"Please come in and sit!" Zhao Mingcheng invited the group in, instructing the disciples to clean up the battlefield.
Chen Tao was kept into his spatial world, as he might might provide some leverage over Chen Batian, preventing him from rash actions.
Ye Liuyun and the others politely paid respect to the head of the Zhao family before they followed Zhao Mingcheng into the main hall to sit down.
"I’m really sorry, you actually got involved in such a situation!" Zhao Mingcheng said to Ye Liuyun.
"You can’t be blamed! Disasters come from the heavens, no one wants this to happen!" Ye Liuyun politely responded.
"Did you come to Aetherealm on purpose?" Zhao Mingcheng asked Ye Liuyun, her face blushing slightly.
"Just passing by! I just came from Tredgeroh. The people of the Dynasty are searching for me everywhere there. All the Conveyors are shut down, I couldn’t go back, so I thought I’d go take a look at the Endless Sea, and visit you! Unexpectedly, I just happened to catch up with your trouble."
Ye Liuyun explained honestly.
"Oh!" Zhao Mingcheng seemed somewhat disappointed.
But she still said, "You saved me again! I owe you so much, I don’t know how to repay you!"
"Don’t mention it, we’re friends after all. It’s only natural for us to help each other!" Ye Liuyun didn’t pay much attention to it, he only asked Zhao Mingcheng, "What are you planning to do next? Chen Batian likely won’t let things slide! The Zhaos’ power might not be able to withstand their attack!"
"Just friends?"
At this moment, Zhao Mingcheng was only thinking about the words Ye Liuyun just spoke, not paying attention to the rest.
Seeing her lost in thought, Ye Liuyun called out to her, snapping her back to reality.
"Huh? Oh! Actually, I don’t have much of a plan, at worst, I’ll just die," Zhao Mingcheng replied with a helpless tone.
Ye Liuyun helped her analyze, "In my opinion, the Zhao family won’t be able to evade this calamity! Chen Batian is from the Dynasty, even if I stay and help you kill him, they will send more people here.
Your true enemy is the Dynasty. If the Zhaos decide to stay and fight, their destruction is inevitable."
Zhao Mingcheng nodded in agreement, "I also know that! Those who wanted to leave, I’ve already given them resources and let them go. The remaining people, they would rather die than leave the family. So I too, am prepared to stand with them and fight until the end."
