Chapter 2254: Chapter 2254 Different Treatment
Ye Liuyun’s sudden change in demeanor made Jiuyou Devil uneasy.
Although he was not sure of Ye Liuyun’s true strength, his methods were undoubtedly formidable as the ruler of the Ghostic World.
Yet, he desperately needed to enter the Ghostic World. If he missed this chance with Ye Liuyun, he might never get another opportunity.
After pondering for a while, he decided to wait and see how things unfolded. After all, Ye Liuyun was not going anywhere for the moment. As long as Ye Liuyun did not die in battle, there was still a chance for him to enter the Ghsotic World.
“Do as you please! I won’t be coming back here again!”
Ye Liuyun saw right through his thoughts and turned to beckon Li Xianying and Zhao Hu to leave. However, he did not recall the Devil-sealing Stele. Even if he wanted to summond Devil-sealing Stele back, it might not obey him now.
“Aren’t you taking the stele with you?” Jiuyou Devil asked immediately.
“...” The Nine Nether Demon Lord was at a loss for words. Ye Liuyun wasn’t wrong. If he hadn’t concealed himself, the Demon-Sealing Stele wouldn’t have any effect on his spectral form.
Ye Liuyun shrugged, clearly intending to leave the stele behind.
In truth, Ye Liuyun could have simply destroyed Jiuyou Devil and searched the coffin himself. But he thought it would be better to subdue Jiuyou Devil instead. That way, he would not have to guess the purpose of whatever he found.
Moreover, someone as cunning as Jiuyou Devil might lead him to unexpected treasures.
Besides, Jiuyou Devil was a formidable expert. He would be a valuable asset if he was being subdue and had him to guard the Ghostic World.
So, Ye Liuyun was willing to put on a little act and go through the trouble of taming him.
"..." Jiuyou Devil was at a loss for words.
Ye Liuyun was not wrong. If he had not hid something, the Devil-sealing Stele would not have any effect on his spectral form.
But this Devil-Sealing Stele had to be removed. He had suffered its wrath before and his spectral form was no match for its power.
"So, you won’t be coming back here anymore?" Jiuyou Devil asked him again.
"Why would I? I’m now the Prince of the God Realm and Ghostic World. Why should I bother coming here to fight with these foreign race?" Ye Liuyun retorted with a sneer.
After saying this, Ye Liuyun, along with Li Xianying and Zhao Hu, started walking away.
They decisively walked away without a hint of hesitation.
Jiuyou Devil narrowed his eyes, watching Ye Liuyun intently, trying to discern whether he was bluffing or speaking the truth.
He was not sure if Ye Liuyun was truly the Prince of God, but he was undoubtedly the Lord of the Ghostic World. At the very least, Ye Liuyun did not need to come here to scavenge for resources.
In his view, no one would come here to foolishly risk their lives against the foreign race unless it was for resources.
Thinking of this, he quickly called out. "Hey, don’t rush off! Wait for me, let me think about it!"
"I don’t have time to wait for you. I thought you’d been somewhat helpful, so I was willing to go through the trouble of sending you back to the Ghostic World. But since you don’t trust me, forget it! I’m not in the mood to deal with this hassle anyway." Ye Liuyun waved his hand dismissively, bidding him farewell.
"How could I not trust you? Don’t get me wrong! But you have to tell me how to get back to the Ghostic World. I need to be mentally prepared, don’t I?"
Jiuyou Devil began inquiring about the process of returning to the Ghostic World, trying to gauge if there were any hidden dangers.
"Of course, someone will have to use the Soul Forging-Hammer to capture you first then bring you back to the Ghostic World. What did you think? That I’d bring the Ghostic World here to you?" Ye Liuyun mocked.
In truth, Jiuyou Devil knew that the only way to return to the Ghostic World was to be taken back by someone. He was just waiting for an opportunity where he could be transported back without being controlled.
"You’re not planning to use that hammer to control me, are you?" Jiuyou Devil tried to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.
But when he looked up, Ye Liuyun had already walked far away.
"Hey! Why are you leaving again?"
"Get out of my way! If you block me again, I’ll destroy you right here!" Ye Liuyun made it clear that he was extremely displeased with him.
"Go back and think it over yourself. I have things to do and have no time to waste with you!" Ye Liuyun said impatiently.
"Why are you dragging your feet like a woman, Jiuyou? Don’t hold us up from our important business, alright?" Zhao Hu also scolded from the side, clearly displeased.
Jiuyou Devil did not bother to respond to Zhao Hu. Instead, he was being brutally honest to Ye Liuyun. "I’ll agree if you promise not to control me. I want my coffin be taken to the Ghostic World too!"
"So there is something you’re hiding!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself in amusement. But he feigned ignorance and asked, "You’re going to the Ghostic World, yet you still want to bring along your physical body?"
Jiuyou Devil was was worried that if he said too much, Ye Liuyun would catch on and destroy his spirit directly, then search the coffin.
So he simply said, "After all, it’s my body. I can’t bear to leave it behind. Just tell me if you can do it or not?"
"Watch how you speak with me? Do I owe you anything? It’s up to you whether to go or not. Do you think teleporting back and forth doesn’t require resources?"
As he spoke, Ye Liuyun once again unleashed the power of Buddha’s halo, enveloping Jiuyou Devil.
"Get out of my way! If you block me again, I’ll destroy you right here!" Ye Liuyun made it clear that he was extremely displeased with him.
Seeing this, Jiuyou felt a bit more at ease and quickly softened his tone, forcing a smile as he said. "Don’t be angry! It’s my bad for speaking to you that way and I apologize! But if you want compensation, that’s simple enough!"
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun stopped his attack and threatened. "If you dare to trick me, I’ll annihilate you right here!"
"Of course not, my life is in your hands!" Jiuyou Devil laughed.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of interspatial rings flew out from the two coffins beside his own.
"These resources should be enough to compensate you, right?" Jiuyou Devil thought that as long as Ye Liuyun was willing to negotiate, the matter could be easily resolved.
Ye Liuyun scanned them with his Divine sense and found that they contained various resources within which included devil crystals, immortal level weapons, top-grade spirit crystals, elixirs, ores, and feral beast cores...
One of the interspatial rings even had numerous rare treasures related to body refining, soul refining and realm advancement.
Ye Liuyun asked awkwardly, "Did you just loot all the coffins here?"
"Hehe, being in a spirit form has its advantages! Those guards couldn’t do anything to me!" Jiuyou Devil chuckled proudly.
Ye Liuyun did not hold back. Since these items had already been stolen byJiuyou Devil, someone else would take them if he did not.
Ye Liuyun and Jiuyou Devil signed a divine soul contract, which finally put Jiuyou Devil at ease.
At that moment, Ye Liuyun’s clone brought Zhuge Feiyu over through the teleportation black tower.
Zhuge Feiyu used the Soul Forging Hammer and had Jiuyou Devil be placed in it. However, Jiuyou Devil realized he had been tricked as soon as he entered the hammer.
He checked the divine soul contract he had signed with Ye Liuyun and discovered that Ye Liuyun had only promised not to subdue him himself, but there was no mention of the soul forging hammer or Zhuge Feiyu not doing so.
Now, he had effectively been subdued by Zhuge Feiyu.
"You’re not keeping your word!" Jiuyou Devil protested.
Zhuge Feiyu smiled and said. "That depends on who we’re dealing with! If everything you said is true, we’ll honor our previous promise!"
Jiuyou Devil sobbed, realizing that his carefully laid plans were about to be blew off.
