Chapter 1401: Fated Enemies on a Narrow Road

The masked Martial Cultivator is Ye Liuyun.

He did not leave Zhen Shan City, but waited until dawn, went to the trade guild to sell the resources he didn't need, and then exchanged them with the Demon Beasts for some meat and pills.

Ye Liuyun was led straight into the VIP room.

He indeed did not disappoint the Steward; the Storage Rings he produced were filled with all kinds of supplies.

These were all sorted by Liang Xue, and even roughly calculated according to the local prices what could be exchanged.

Thus, when Ye Liuyun makes exchanges, as long as the difference isn't too large, he can swap directly, avoiding being ripped off by merchants.

The items Ye Liuyun presented are looked down upon by them, but here they are very popular, being things most Martial Cultivators need.

The Steward received this big deal as soon as he opened the door today, so delighted his mouth couldn't stay shut!

"Esteemed guest, how would you like to trade?"

The Steward politely asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately listed the pills and meat he needed.

The Steward, upon hearing that, promptly replied, "The pills are no problem; we're not short of them here.

But the meat is insufficient; a large client bought a lot of it yesterday! Could you wait two more days?"

Ye Liuyun understood that it must be Qu Wanying who came here to fulfill a promise.

"Then give me whatever you have.

The rest, exchange for Spirit Stones!"

Ye Liuyun didn't want to wait longer; once he got the Spirit Stones, he could buy elsewhere just the same.

"Alright! Please wait a moment, I'll go prepare it for you."

The Steward scampered out, hurrying to prepare the items for Ye Liuyun.

At that moment, a middle‑aged man, accompanied by over ten Martial Cultivators of Tianzun and Earth Sovereign realms, walked into the shop to buy goods.

The arrival of so many strong individuals immediately caught Ye Liuyun's attention.

After all, given his Wanted Fugitive status, he needed to be cautious.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil casually scanned and found that the leading middle‑aged man resembled Xie Tianhong.

"Could it really be such a coincidence?

We've run into someone from the Xie family again!"

He then scanned each one in turn, and suddenly discovered that two Tianzun‑realm Martial Cultivators had a Foreign Tribe's evil aura within their Golden Core.

At that moment Ye Liuyun was certain: "What a narrow road of enemies! You can run into members of the Xie family everywhere!"

They were also here to buy some food and drink, apparently preparing to set out.

After discovering that the Demon Beast meat here had been bought out, they immediately left to purchase from another shop.

Ye Liuyun waited a while longer; the Steward just rushed back, holding the items prepared for Ye Liuyun's exchange.

Ye Liuyun tallied them and put the items away.

The Steward, still smiling, said, "All the beast meat is yours! Someone wanted to buy earlier, but I didn't sell to them!"

"Oh, who was the buyer?

Maybe I can give them some!"

Ye Liuyun said deliberately.

"I don't know them; they're just passing travelers from elsewhere! It doesn't matter, they've already left, and it wasn't a big deal!"

The Steward replied indifferently.

"Alright then! Next time I have business, I'll still look after you!"

Ye Liuyun went along, saying.

"Thank you, esteemed guest!"

The Steward happily bowed and escorted Ye Liuyun out.

After leaving, Ye Liuyun released his Divine Sense and soon located that group.

They had emerged from another trade guild, presumably having completed their procurement.

One Martial Cultivator said to the middle‑aged man, "Third Young Master, we've traveled so far—has Ye Liuyun already left?"

"If he's gone, we'll turn back and cause trouble for Qujing! Anyway, this trip won't be in vain!"

The middle‑aged man replied.

"Third Young Master?

Is this the Xie family's third son?"

Ye Liuyun followed them from a distance, secretly using his Golden Pupil to observe his realm, discovering he was at the Earth-Respect Eightfold level, just like himself.

Later, they left the city and boarded a Flying Boat.

The direction they rushed toward was Beast Mountain.

"It seems those at Beast Mountain spread word that I was together with Qu Wanying!"

Ye Liuyun thought it over, felt it was a good chance to eliminate them, and launched his own Flying Boat, following them from afar.

He didn't rush to act on the road; instead, after they entered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain range, he cloaked himself with the Invisibility Cloak and slipped behind them.

The people who had previously pursued Qu Wanying had left markers in the shadows; they were using those markers to investigate the battle situation and track the whereabouts of Ye Liuyun, Qu Wanying and others.

Once they penetrated Mi Lin, Ye Liuyun began to strike.

Seizing the chance, he used a Spiritual Soul Attack on a trailing Earth Sovereign Martial Cultivator, silently eliminated him, then shifted into the Space World.

The group totaled twelve people: four of Tianzun realm and eight of Earth Sovereign realm.

The highest realms were those two Martial Cultivators whose Golden Cores harbored Foreign Tribe aura; both were at the Tianzun Fifth Layer.

They quickly realized one person was missing and immediately became alert.

He released his Divine Sense to search everywhere, yet found no human silhouette.

Xie Tianhong's third brother, Xie Tiande, at this moment actually smiled.

The only one who could confront them directly was Ye Liuyun.

Now that he knew Ye Liuyun was still in Beast Mountain, he naturally relaxed.

Seeing that the others couldn't find Ye Liuyun, Xie Tiande immediately led the group deeper into Beast Mountain.

"As long as Ye Liuyun is still there, there will always be a moment when he shows up! His invisibility technique is advanced, so I can use ferocious beasts to force him to reveal himself!"

He thought to himself.

However, when Ye Liuyun saw them head deeper into Beast Mountain, he immediately understood their intention.

He gave a faint smile and retreated to the outermost summit to recuperate.

"I'm not in a hurry either! Take your time, and we'll talk when you return!"

Soon, a beast roar echoed from the opposite mountain range.

Ye Liuyun guessed that those people had started fighting the ferocious beasts.

To draw out Ye Liuyun, Xie Tiande deliberately made a big commotion, attracting nearby ferocious beasts.

After walking for a while, they saw Ye Liuyun remained still and continued deeper.

Upon reaching the ferocious-beast zone of the Tianzun Realm, someone sent a doubtful Transmission Voice to Xie Tiande: "Did Ye Liuyun not follow?"

"Impossible! Since he's waiting here for us, he'll definitely follow! It's probably because the beast realm here is too low to detect his invisibility technique.

Let's go further inside!"

With two Tianzun Fifth Layer strongmen among them, they weren't worried about danger, so they boldly pressed onward.

Ye Liuyun, on the outermost summit, listened to the beasts' roars and gauged their approximate distance.

"Yo, we've reached the ferocious-beast zone of the Tianzun Realm?

I wonder if their huge commotion will attract a powerful beast to intervene!"

He thought this in his mind.
