Chapter 1064: Crazy Revenge

During the subsequent voyage, Ye Liuyun encountered no further attacks.

Even after gathering so much force, they still didn't eliminate Ye Liuyun. The Crown Prince's side also dared not act lightly again.

Moreover, as Ye Liuyun drew nearer to the imperial city, any further strike would be easily interfered with by the imperial court.

But while they held back, Ye Liuyun had no intention of letting them off.

Half a month later, a rumor spread across Zhongyang Dalu.

It was that Prince Yonglie dispatched troops and annihilated Prince Jing'an!

A few days later, Prince Fire was also wiped out!

Later everyone learned that, allegedly, these princes had been the first to strike Ye Liuyun, and his actions were merely revenge.

The imperial court also sent agents to verify the news, saying that those who had previously attacked Ye Liuyun were captured alive by him.

Currently those captives are being transferred to the imperial court, with the Fourth Prince personally overseeing the escort!

Qin Peng and the Fourth Prince are in constant communication with Ye Liuyun, so he is fully aware of the situation.

However, he finds the Fourth Prince's spreading of the escort's witness information somewhat improper!

"With such a grand escort, what if it gets hijacked?"

Fourth Prince Xia Tian Yuan replied, "There's no other way. If I don't stir things up, the imperial court will sanction you. At least now the court knows you have a point; even if it's hijacked, it only shows someone is guilty of conscience!"

"Fine! Then be more careful," Ye Liuyun said without further comment, and he didn't tell him that he still held witnesses in his hand.

Meanwhile, Qin Peng launched a mad retaliation.

"How dare you assassinate our princes; I'll make you all pay!"

Qin Peng, leading fifty thousand troops, five thousand elite soldiers, and over a hundred senior-ranked Martial Cultivators, swept through each prince's garrison according to the list Ye Liuyun provided.

Wherever they passed, no chickens or dogs were left, and even the ground was stripped three feet deep.

Prince Lanling, upon receiving the news, surrendered early, but Qin Peng refused the surrender and eliminated him outright.

"Surrender? How can that work! You all surrendered, how am I to avenge our princes? Do our princes need your meager compensation? No surrender!"

Qin Peng, under the banner of avenging Ye Liuyun, forbade any surrender until the enemy was completely exterminated.

Ye Liuyun's fearsome reputation spread throughout the imperial court.

Everyone now knows that crossing Ye Liuyun means preparing for the annihilation of one's clan.

He doesn't even accept surrender; he insists on avenging by killing every foe.

Thus, for a while, those who had learned of Ye Liuyun's approach to the imperial city and intended to give him a warning now dare not act rashly.

Ye Liuyun's retaliation is indeed wildly insane.

He consecutively eliminated fourteen princes.

Among them, only three families actually dispatched troops; the other nine sent senior-ranked Martial Cultivators.

Even two families that merely took part in talks and contributed funds were not spared; Ye Liuyun wiped them all out.

After the campaign, Qin Peng led his forces back to Moyu.

Prince Liang of Eagle Beak Island, upon learning of Ye Liuyun's massive moves, resolved to relocate, and after some maneuvering, moved to another domain, completely relinquishing Eagle Beak Island.

Before leaving, he delivered a message to Ye Liuyun, letting him take over Eagle Beak Island.

After Prince Liang departed, no one dared to go to that spot on Eagle Beak Island; everyone knew it was Ye Liuyun's possession, and no one went to die there.

Thus, Ye Liuyun simply transferred a thousand soldiers from Yonglie Island and claimed Eagle Beak Island as his own.

At this point, Ye Liuyun's entire passage was opened, fully controlling the entrance and exit of Zhongyang Dalu.

Ye Liuyun and his group continued marching toward the imperial city.

Just before he entered the imperial city, Ye Liuyun received word from the Fourth Prince that the witnesses had been hijacked!

"Oh? Where did the Crown Prince get the power to hijack you?" Ye Liuyun was a bit puzzled.

"I don't know, only that their level is very high! Definitely not an ordinary force!"

This incident also surprised the Fourth Prince. He had already gathered many forces and set ambushes in the shadows, yet the opponent still succeeded.

What worried him most was that he didn't know where the Crown Prince had sourced this power.

"You should investigate it quickly!"

Ye Liuyun wasn't too surprised; it was something he had mentally prepared for.

"You seem so calm; do you still have witnesses in your hand?"

The Fourth Prince only now reacted.

"No!" Ye Liuyun didn't tell him.

"Anyway, I've finished all the fights I needed to, and the imperial court won't do anything to me! As for those witnesses, their death doesn't concern me!" Ye Liuyun concealed.

The Fourth Prince thought for a moment and felt that, from Ye Liuyun's perspective, this reasoning made sense.

"That's true. But it's a pity we lost a chance to topple the elder brother."

Ye Liuyun was indifferent; he didn't care about their power struggles.

"Opportunities will always come!"

So he offered a casual consolation and then cut off contact with the Fourth Prince.

But just after ending the contact, someone approached him.

Moreover, this time it was a regular army, dressed in the imperial city's guard uniform.

Ye Liuyun immediately halted his Flying Boat and stepped forward to inquire.

The other side only brought a few hundred people, and didn't seem intent on attacking him.

So he made no rash judgment, merely informing everyone to be ready.

The commander of this group was very courteous to Ye Liuyun, bowing upon meeting and addressing him as Prince.

"Commander, you stopped my Flying Boat; may I know your purpose?"

Ye Liuyun saw his politeness, and his speech was also very measured.

"Prince Ye, having learned that you are heading to the Imperial City, the Left Prime Minister wishes to see you!"

After the Leader finished speaking, he looked at the carriage behind him and made a gesturing invitation toward Ye Liuyun.

The carriage was drawn by two white horses with wings, divine and exceptionally handsome, clearly not ordinary.

"Left Prime Minister?"

Ye Liuyun remembered that Ling Shuang and Xia Tianqiong had both told him that the Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister were the advisors who helped Emperor Xia devise strategies.

"Why would he go out of his way to meet me? Could it be because I attacked those Princes, and the imperial dynasty intends to punish me?"

Apart from that, Ye Liuyun could not think of any other reason that would alarm the Left Prime Minister.

At that moment, his clone immediately confirmed with Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang.

"That's right, the Left Prime Minister always rides this kind of carriage!"

They were also familiar with this carriage.

"The Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister have an extraordinary relationship with the Father Emperor; you must handle them carefully!"

Xia Tianqiong reminded Ye Liuyun.

The carriage shielded Divine Sense detection, so Ye Liuyun could not see inside clearly.

Yet he still walked toward the carriage, while alerting Fire Dance and other Monster Beasts to prepare for battle.

When he reached the carriage, the Leader lifted the curtain for Ye Liuyun, inviting him inside.
