Chapter 2170: Chapter 2170 One Less Harm
"I feel like rushing into death like this is meaningless! There are other options you can consider. You can migrate with them or let them disperse and regroup later."
Ye Liuyun suggested to Zhao Mingcheng.
However, she helplessly explained, "Whether we migrate together or disperse, we have nowhere to go. If we leave together, they will catch up with us sooner or later. If we disperse, wherever we go, we will still be bullied.
So we’d rather die fighting. Even if we can kill one more martial practitioner, at least it means one less harm to the people!”
She considered the practical situation in the central region, thinking that these proposals were not feasible.
But he asked again, "What if I could get you all to the East? It’s my territory, and I can guarantee your safety!"
"Eh... you can’t even go back yourself right now..."
Zhao Mingcheng said somewhat awkwardly.
She didn’t want to discourage Ye Liuyun, but this was the truth.
Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "I just don’t have any urgent matters, and I’m not in a rush to return! It doesn’t mean I can’t leave! I can leave whenever I want to!"
"Really?" She was somewhat in disbelief.
"When it comes to so many lives, I wouldn’t lie to you!" affirmed Ye Liuyun.
Zhao Mingcheng nodded, feeling that Ye Liuyun was indeed trustworthy.
"What about Chen Batian..."
"We can get rid of that troublemaker before we leave!" Ye Liuyun followed up.
"Well then, the Zhaos are willing to help out. We will follow your commands!" Zhao Mingcheng knew of Ye Liuyun’s capabilities, and therefore had absolute trust in him.
Ye Liuyun pondered for a moment before acquiescing.
"Go divide everyone into 2 groups. One with everyone from seventh-realm and above, prepared to fight against Chen Batian’s forces. As for those under, gather them together, and I will take them into my spatial world first."
"But... there are almost eight hundred people! Can your spatial world...?" Zhao Mingcheng’s concern was that Ye Liuyun’s spatial world might not accommodate that many people.
"Don’t worry. I have a way!" Ye Liuyun didn’t detail his plan but only requested Zhao Mingcheng to organize their people.
Although Zhao Mingcheng was familiar with Ye Liuyun’s style, which involved minimal explanation but absolute certainty in his undertakings.
When she went on with the arrangements, some of the elders were not convinced.
They, after all, didn’t know of Ye Liuyun’s identity or Zhao Mingcheng’s acquaintance with him. They only thought that she got duped by a stranger.
"Miss Zhao, is that young man bamboozling you? Can he really fit eight hundred people?"
"Yeah, Miss Zhao, we’ve never heard of a spatial world that large!"
Actually, neither had Zhao Mingcheng. But she had faith in Ye Liuyun.
"Don’t worry, if he says he has a way, then he definitely has one!"
Despite this, the elders remained skeptical and didn’t move.
With no choice left, Zhao Mingcheng implored, "After all, they saved our lives! Since they say they have a solution, why don’t we give them a chance? If it doesn’t work out, it would just be a slight hassle."
Those words sparked contemplation among the elders. They found truth in her plea and finally went back to gather the remaining family members.
Gathering all those below the seventh-realm together, and once settled, Zhao Mingcheng went to find Ye Liuyun.
After Ye Liuyun came out, he started gathering these people into his spatial world until none was left. This left Zhao Mingcheng and the Zhao family elders dumbstruck.
He chuckled and said to her, "Alright, quit standing there stunned! You should also tidy up. We won’t wait here; we’re too close to Tredgeroh. We will head straight to the ferry crossing.”
"Okay!"
Zhao Mingcheng immediately agreed, assisting other martial practitioners in burying the family leader. They then took all the belongings from the family they could carry.
After they left, everyone cast a regretful glance at the now-empty family estate, and then followed Ye Liuyun.
Many of the city’s civilians also came to bid farewell.
"Seems the Zhaos must have been decent folk,” Ye Liuyun thought, feeling that his rescue of these people is justified, seeing how the civilians regarded them.
"Will we have the chance to return, Mr. Ye?" Zhao Mingcheng passed a sound transmission to ask Ye Liuyun.
"Unless I conquer the Dynasty, chances are slim indeed!"
Ye Liuyun joked, in an attempt to soothe her sorrowful mood.
"I believe you can definitely do it! Didn’t you conquer the East?" She placed her utmost confidence in Ye Liuyun.
A helpless smile appeared on his face, "That’s not quite the same!”
He did not explain further but leaving some hope would probably help her move on from her saddened state faster.
"Thank you! You not only saved me this time but also our whole clan!" Zhao Mingcheng again expressed her gratitude to Ye Liuyun.
He only chuckled, "There’s no need to be polite with me! You and your people should prepare for battle! I wonder how many of you will survive after this big fight!"
"That’s not a worry. Even if all of us are killed now, there will be no more worries left."
The family had always been a concern for Zhao Mingcheng and the elders. Now that the problem is resolved, they could actually delve into battle without any concerns.
Indeed, along their journey, not a single hint of fear could be found amongst them.
Aware that Chen Batian still had 29 more late-ninth-realms, and the number of cultivators from other realms was several times their own, they remained cheerful and relaxed, their faces smiling.
Seeing that Zhao Mingcheng was only wearing a grade eight armor, and worried about its defense capability, Ye Liuyun took out a set of grade nine Gilded Armour and gave it to her.
"Wear this underneath your current armor. It’s certainly not enough for defense. In case I can’t cover you in time, you should still be able to hold on longer."
"A gilded armour?" After taking a look at the armour that Ye Liuyun gave her, Zhao Mingcheng gasped in surprised, "and it’s a grade nine at that?"
The Zhaos looked over curiously at the gift.
Having only the influence within a small city, they had yet to possess the capability to equip gilded armour. For Zhao Mingcheng, who was just stepping into the initial stage of the sixth realm, wearing a grade eight armor was already a sheer luxury.
"This gift is too precious. I cannot accept it!" Zhao Mingcheng immediately tried to return the armor to Ye Liuyun, refusing to accept it.
Although she knew that Ye Liuyun owned the entire Eastern Dynasty and wasn’t short of supplies, she did not want to take advantage of him.
Left with no choice, Ye Liuyun replied, "Let’s consider it as me lending it to you. You can return it to me after the fight, okay? First put it on to protect yourself!"
Only then did Zhao Mingcheng reluctantly agree and put on the armor, turning it into a white dress and covering it with the grade eight armor.
Seeing her valiant appearance, Ye Liuyun nodded his head in satisfaction.
Zhao Mingcheng, on the other hand, turned shy and looked a bit coy under his gaze.
When the elders saw this, they glanced at each other, each inquiring her about his origins.
