Chapter 1337: Joint Assassination

After many days of preparation, the Wan Hong Tribe finally gathered the items to be submitted.

The question of how to escort these resources was also brought up on the agenda.

These resources were pooled from the whole tribe's effort. If they were robbed on the road, they could never be gathered again.

But now other small and large tribes know they will go to Haotian City to submit resources, so someone will surely plot against them.

Ye Liuyun also thought that someone would definitely scheme, and even some large tribes might unite to strike.

After all, they had suffered a huge loss before, not only failing to obtain resources from the Yuda Tribe, but also encountering several Sea Transformation‑realm strongmen; it is natural for them to seize the chance to join forces for revenge now.

He said those words while chatting casually with A Xing, and A Xing passed them on to the Clan Chief's father, so this escort received such attention.

The Clan Chief decided that Leader A Mu would lead the team himself, accompanied by two late Sea Transformation cultivators, twenty True Essence Realm members, and twenty late Body Refinement tribe members, to escort together.

Leader A Mu specifically named Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao to go along with the escort.

"Fine, let's go see what the city looks like!"

Ye Liuyun also did not refuse.

The tribal strongmen here have very low realms, so he wasn't worried at all.

The other selected people were earnestly preparing, but he and Ye Tiandao did whatever they wanted, without any tension.

"You said someone would try to seize the supplies, why aren't you nervous?" A Xing asked Ye Liuyun curiously.

"If I'm nervous, they won't come?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

"That might be true!" A Xing laughed upon hearing that.

Then he remembered that Ye Liuyun still owed her a roast, which she hadn't gotten yet!

"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun, having nothing else to do, started grilling meat with her and Ye Tiandao.

Seeing Ye Liuyun sprinkle a lot of powder onto the meat, A Xing grew curious.

"What are you sprinkling on it?"

Life here is primitive; the basic seasoning is only salt. Sometimes there is no salt at all, and they eat directly.

Salt is a scarce commodity here, requiring each tribe to send people to purchase it collectively, and it takes a long time between purchases.

Ye Liuyun didn't tell A Xing, only said it was his own secret recipe.

When A Xing tasted the grilled meat, she was completely shocked!

"Heavens! This is unbelievably delicious!" A Xing couldn't help shouting.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "Then have some more!"

Ordinary tribe members rarely get to eat meat. Even when they hunt a fierce beast, they ration it and don't finish it in one sitting.

But this time, A Xing couldn't hold back; she kept Ye Liuyun grilling the amount of half a bear, and the three of them shared it.

When A Xing saw the bear meat was already half eaten, she guilt‑riddenly called a stop!

"That's extravagant! But your grilling is truly delicious!" A Xing kept praising Ye Liuyun's roast.

"No problem, if you like it, have more!" Ye Liuyun also gave A Xing the fierce beast he had hunted last time.

"No, I can't eat more; I've already had plenty!"

Although A Xing was still craving, years of food scarcity made her give up the thought of continuing.

"I'll keep these for you!" A Xing said, blushing slightly as she stored the meat Ye Liuyun gave her.

Here, the meat, Spirit Stone and Storage Ring Ye Liuyun gave him can serve as a marriage dowry.

Thus she thought Ye Liuyun was sincerely kind to her, and she was also stockpiling for their future days.

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun shrugged helplessly, conceding to her.

Actually, what they ate was still not enough for Lei Ming's own meal.

Ye Liuyun's true Space Ring contains a massive reserve of beast meat, enough for the people in his Space World to eat for several years.

Ye Liuyun took out some more seasoning and handed it to A Xing.

"When I go escort the supplies, you can add some while grilling to adjust the flavor,"

"For me?" A Xing rubbed her hands excitedly, carefully took it, fearing to spill a bit, then carefully stored it in the Storage Ring.

After I reach the city, I'll see if it's sold; if so, I'll buy some more and bring them back.

"May I give you some Spirit Stones?" A Xing took out a few low‑grade Spirit Stones to give Ye Liuyun.

She thought Ye Liuyun had given her all his Spirit Stones; he and Ye Tiandao also need Spirit Stones for cultivation, so he surely had little left.

"No need, I still have some; you keep them!" Ye Liuyun, though he saw many of those low‑grade Spirit Stones, appreciated A Xing's intention.

When it was time to depart, after saying goodbye to A Xing, he set off with the squad.

They didn't ride horses, even though conditions now allow it.

But Ye Liuyun told Leader A Mu that someone would bring horses midway, so they didn't ride.

After leaving the tribe, A Mu still asked Ye Liuyun, "Who will bring us the horses?"

Ye Liuyun laughed, "The very ones who want to rob us! To catch us easily, they will ride horses after the raid and withdraw quickly. Isn't that delivering horses to us?"

A Mu heard this and a simple smile appeared on his honest face.

"You're not only good at fighting, but also clever!" A Mu kept praising.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense already detected someone watching them from afar.

As soon as they left the tribe, someone rode away toward the distance, likely returning to report.

At the same time, he also noticed A Xing trailing far behind the squad.

"That girl has quite the nerve!" Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, unconcerned, thinking taking A Xing to the city to see the world would be fine.

A Xing emerged late and was far from them; the Sea Transformation‑realm Martial Cultivators in the squad didn't notice.

Only Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao kept watching A Xing, fearing she might encounter danger.

Ye Liuyun's earlier guess was right; the chiefs of several tribes have united again to rob Wan Hong Bu Luo's supplies and set a trap for them.

As soon as Ye Liuyun and his companions left the tribe, they quickly received the news.

They dispatched many people, splitting into two forces: one rushed ahead to ambush them, the other set off later to chase from behind. When they reached the appointed spot, the two groups launched a coordinated attack.

At the same time, they released several trained Azure Hawks to monitor Ye Liuyun's movements.

Ye Liuyun noticed the Azure Hawks but ignored them, letting them follow for the time being, intending to catch them later for roasted meat.
