Chapter 1399: Confirming the Truth

"Qu Princess, we've already explained this to you, haven't we?"

"We're not here to kill you; we're asking you to come back as a guest."

"As long as you cooperate, we guarantee that you and your attendants won't lose a single hair."

The Martial Cultivator down the mountain replied.

"Who sent you here?"

"Where are you taking me?"

"If you don't make it clear, how dare I follow you?"

Qu Wanying asked again.

The Martial Cultivator down the mountain sized up Ye Liuyun and the others, seeing that their realms were not high, and Ye Liuyun didn't even show any realm at all.

So he thought, feeling that Qu Wanying and the others couldn't fly away even if they grew wings.

Even if they tried to run back now, they would still be caught.

"Alright, since the princess insists on knowing before she'll go with us, I'll tell you plainly: we were sent by the Prince Consort."

"Can we go now?"

The Martial Cultivator spoke the truth.

"Imperial Prince Consort?"

"Don't say it's like my Prince Consort; I couldn't possibly afford that!"

Qu Wanying sneered.

Her father is a king, so she is naturally called a princess.

But the weight of this princess title of hers is nowhere near that of an imperial princess!

"Qu Princess, you're joking! Of course we're the Prince Consort of the Empire!"

The Martial Cultivator also gave an embarrassed smile.

"If it's the Empire's Prince Consort, you should be looking for the Empire's princess! In broad daylight, sending people to chase after this princess of mine—what kind of conduct is that!"

Qu Wanying began to mock Xie Tianqi.

"Princess, I've already told you everything you wanted to know! If you still refuse to cooperate, then we'll have to resort to force!"

Hearing her words, the Martial Cultivator's face also darkened.

Listening to Qu Wanying's words, it seemed she had no intention of going along with them happily.

"Haven't you already sent three teams to attack us?"

"Too bad! They all ended up as food for ferocious beasts!"

Qu Wanying and the Martial Cultivator were openly opposed.

"Qu Princess, then don't blame us for offending you! Attack!"

The Martial Cultivator didn't waste time with her; seeing she had no intention of surrendering, he immediately ordered his men to kill her.

Ye Liuyun directly used the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, sealing their True Essence, then released a Skeleton Puppet, each of them stabbing with a sword and digging out their Origin Core.

Those Martial Cultivators never expected that there would be a master hidden here.

"Each person exchanges for a thousand jin of meat—how about it?"

Ye Liuyun asked Qu Wanying with a smile.

He knew Qu Wanying wanted to capture these people for interrogation and confirmation, so he deliberately didn't kill them.

But these people could serve as meat for demon beasts, and he didn't want to give them to Qu Wanying for free.

"Greedy!"

Qu Wanying muttered.

In the end, she still agreed to Ye Liuyun's condition and exchanged all of them.

Qu Wanying and Fan Gang and the other soldiers, under Ye Liuyun's escort, safely returned to Zhen Shan City.

Zhen Shan City is a big city, its location is well-connected, a place of strategic importance coveted by military strategists.

As a vassal king of the secondary faction, Zhen Shan King stations two hundred thousand troops here; this territory belongs to Zhen Shan King and has no City Lord.

Ye Liuyun saw them off at the city outskirts and then prepared to leave.

"Come stay at my place! You've been wanted, so going anywhere is inconvenient.

I'll still give you what I promised, so you won't have to go looking for me later."

Qu Wanying suggested.

"Are you sure I can enter the city?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"Don't worry, no one will dare to stop us!"

Fan Gang shouted loudly.

"Alright then!"

Ye Liuyun didn't stand on ceremony and followed them into the city.

He wasn't worried that Zhen Shan King would play tricks.

With so many Tianzun Realm ferocious beasts by his side, Zhen Shan King, as long as he isn't foolish, won't dare to confront him head-on.

The guards at the city gate all knew Qu Wanying, so naturally no one inspected her retinue.

Ye Liuyun thus swaggered into the city with them.

They arrived at the Royal Mansion; Qu Wanying first settled Ye Liuyun in, then immediately went to report the situation to her father, after which she began interrogating the personnel and arranging soul searches.

Ye Liuyun had food and drink, and wasn't in a hurry.

Instead, he returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to sort out his belongings.

He took out all the meat from the storage rings, preparing to feed the ferocious beasts and demon beasts he had just caught.

He also simply sorted the other items, and left all the remaining matters to Liang Xue.

The storage rings he obtained in Xuecheng have also been mostly sorted, and the supplies have increased by several large piles.

"When there's a chance, let's sell all the useless stuff?"

"Keeping them here is also in the way!"

Liang Xue told Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, another day I'll go to the Chamber of Commerce here to have a look."

Ye Liuyun also agreed.

One day later, Qu Wanying's father, Prince Zhenshan Qujing, was going to host a banquet for Ye Liuyun, saying he wanted to thank him for his life-saving grace.

Qu Wanying specially came to invite Ye Liuyun, and also directly gave him a storage ring containing the meat she had promised him, and the quantity was quite substantial.

"Your action is pretty quick! However, you are very trustworthy."

"Happy cooperation!"

Ye Liuyun happily put away these meats.

With these meats, the food for the ferocious beasts and demon beasts will not be a worry for a period of time!

Ye Liuyun gladly followed Qu Wanying to attend the banquet.

At the banquet, Qujing again asked about the Xie family's affairs.

As a feudal lord of the Empire, he knew many secret incidents.

Especially the true cause of the earlier demon-subduing incident was due to the Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun also gave Qujing a detailed account of the distribution of the remaining forces of the Foreign Tribe.

He hoped that Qujing could help remind the Empire.

"Has Xie Tianhong not been tainted by the Foreign Tribe's evil aura?"

Qujing asked.

"Not only him, but none of the Xie family members have been tainted by the Foreign Tribe's evil aura, which makes it easier for them to hide their identities."

Only some martial cultivators under their control have increased their strength by relying on the Foreign Tribe's evil aura.

Ye Liuyun replied.

"That is to say, now the Foreign Tribe has been completely wiped out, with no one left to control them."

"And the Xie family no longer needs to obey the Foreign Tribe's demands, right?"

Qujing asked again.

Ye Liuyun understood his meaning.

The Foreign Tribe has now been exterminated.

The remaining insignificant individuals, without the Foreign Tribe's control, cannot stir up any major trouble.

Those who were tainted originally had not a strong evil aura themselves, and trying to contaminate others would be difficult, and would not cause rapid spread.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, quite understood his idea.

After all, the Xie family is no longer considered a major crisis nowadays.

"Not bad! As long as the Foreign Tribe doesn't come back, they aren't a threat."

He also frankly admitted.

If Qujing doesn't want to handle this matter, he doesn't care either.

He could just go and clean up the Xie family himself.

He knows how great the harm of the Foreign Tribe is; since he has encountered it, he will definitely eradicate it completely, leaving no future trouble.

"Mm!"

Qujing nodded and then asked Ye Liuyun: "Since they are no longer considered a threat, why do you still keep an eye on the Xie family?"
