Chapter 1404: with translation of chapter title

The Zhenshan Wang in the Royal Mansion, upon hearing the roar, immediately guessed that something had happened at the Lone Star Auction House.

He estimated that only Ye Liuyun would dare to attack the Lone Star Auction House.

Moreover, he had heard from Qu Wanying about Ye Liuyun capturing a Tianzun Realm ferocious beast.

As the lord of a city, he would certainly have to take charge when something happened.

But facing a Tianzun Realm ferocious beast, he also did not want to send his soldiers to their deaths.

At this time, Qu Wanying also came running in full armor, wanting to lead troops to see what had happened.

Upon seeing Qu Wanying, the Zhenshan Wang immediately had an idea.

You take ten thousand soldiers; if they are not a match, do not push it.

He thought that since Ye Liuyun had not killed Qu Wanying before, he probably would not attack this time either.

Moreover, given Qu Wanying's character, upon seeing Ye Liuyun she would likely not bring troops to surround and kill him, but would instead let him leave.

Therefore, letting Qu Wanying lead the troops would certainly result in the fewest casualties.

Qu Wanying answered in affirmation and immediately led her troops rushing to the Lone Star Auction House.

In fact, she also suspected in her heart that Ye Liuyun might be the one acting, which is why she rushed to go.

When they arrived, however, they did not see a single living person.

Blood was everywhere, yet only three corpses remained on the spot.

Ye Liuyun, seeing that Qu Wanying was leading the troops over, immediately used Divine Sense to send her a voice transmission: "The three corpses I left for you are all Martial Cultivators whose True Essence has been contaminated by the Foreign Tribe's evil qi."

As for whether they can be used, you can take them back and ask your father.

But remember, after using them, they must be thoroughly burned with fire! So that no one else gets contaminated.

Upon hearing this, Qu Wanying immediately understood that Ye Liuyun had done it.

However, she was quite curious about the Foreign Tribe's evil aura.

She first examined the three corpses and indeed found that evil aura, which was different from the rest.

She pretended to send troops to search, found no clues, then directly withdrew and brought the three corpses back.

After returning, the Zhenshan Wang also examined those three corpses.

Afterwards, he still ordered people to destroy the three corpses.

"Father, we can use these three corpses to bring down the Xie family!"

Qu Wanying did not understand why her father wanted to destroy the evidence.

The Zhenshan Wang shook his head and countered: "Would the Xie family admit these are their people?"

"What evidence do you have to prove these three corpses were not deliberately placed there by Ye Liuyun?"

Qu Wanying widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "Father, are you saying Ye Liuyun is deceiving us?"

The Zhenshan Wang laughed and shook his head again: "I believe he is not deceiving us! But the Xie family will not admit it."

Others will also suspect.

So these three corpses are useless for us to keep!

"This cannot count as evidence; then what would count?"

After sensing the evil aura, Qu Wanying already realized how dangerous these people were.

The Zhenshan Wang gave a wry smile: "If the Empire wants to act against the Xie family, anything counts as evidence."

"If the Empire wants to support the Xie family, then these are not evidence at all!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Wanying also couldn't help but ask: "So does that mean the Xie family now has no one overseeing them?"

The Zhenshan Wang shook his head again: "Isn't there someone like Ye Liuyun managing them?"

"But he is wanted by the Empire!"

Qu Wanying said with feeling.

She felt regret for Ye Liuyun in her heart.

Clearly he was acting for the Empire and for the people, yet he is still being wanted by the Empire.

And that harmful worm of the Empire, instead, receives the Empire's support.

The Empire is now even scheming against her father.

Therefore, in her heart she feels that this Empire is quite corrupt!

"Damn the Empire!"

Thinking of this, Qu Wanying immediately cursed.

"Wanying, some things you may know in your heart, but you must absolutely not speak them out, understand?"

The Zhenshan Wang solemnly instructed Qu Wanying.

"Oh!"

Qu Wanying answered in affirmation, also knowing these words must not be spoken carelessly, lest they bring disaster upon them.

After Ye Liuyun finished instructing Qu Wanying about the three corpses, he had already quietly left Zhenshan City, rushing toward a nearby city.

After receiving the news, Xie Tianqi also considered how to exploit this incident to force the Zhenshan Wang to hand over his military authority.

He clearly knew it was Ye Liuyun who did it, yet he insisted on blaming the Zhenshan Wang.

At the same time, he also wanted to devise a plan against Ye Liuyun, so that the Lone Star Auction House would not be picked off one by one by him.

Ye Liuyun alone, with an unpredictable whereabouts, is hard to catch.

To have the auction houses spread throughout the realm strengthen their defenses, they also do not have that many manpower.

"If we take the opportunity to frame the Zhenshan Wang and Ye Liuyun as colluding, I don't know whether it would also lure Ye Liuyun out?"

Xie Tianqi came up with a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

However, he is not quite sure whether Ye Liuyun will appear again to save Qu Wanying.

But at least the Prince will completely collapse.

"Have you gotten in touch with the third younger brother?"

Xie Tianqi asked his subordinate.

"Not yet

Ever since the third young master entered Beast Mountain, there has been no contact.

A subordinate replied.

"Send someone to look for him! If found, let him temporarily stay in Suppressing Mountain City and cooperate with my next move."

He ordered.

"Yes!"

That subordinate acknowledged and went out to make arrangements.

Xie Tianqi also immediately had his second younger brother Xie Tianming take people to Suppressing Mountain City to investigate the clues of Ye Liuyun's extermination of the Lone Star Auction House, preparing to frame the Prince.

Many experts from the Lone Star Auction House rushed to Suppressing Mountain City again.

After leaving Suppressing Mountain City, Ye Liuyun was still riding the Flying Boat he had seized from the Lone Star Auction House.

Coincidentally, on the road he encountered two Earth Sovereign-level Martial Cultivators that Xie Tianqi had drafted from elsewhere, who were rushing to Suppressing Mountain City.

Seeing the Flying Boat of the Lone Star Auction House, they went over to fawn over him and directly handed it to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun performed a Soul Search, he sensed something was off.

Although the two of them didn't know exactly what they were being sent to Suppressing Mountain City to do, they did know they were supposed to deal with a Prince.

"These people aren't actually going to deal with me!"

Ye Liuyun speculated that Xie Tianqi might be taking the opportunity to act against the Prince.

After eliminating those two Martial Cultivators, he kept considering whether to go back and inform the Prince.

But thinking that the Prince's affairs were none of his business and his prudent self-preservation attitude, he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

"Never mind, it's got nothing to do with me!"

He only guessed that Xie Tianqi would act against the Prince, but didn't expect Xie Tianqi to frame the Prince for colluding with him.

If he had known beforehand that Xie Tianqi would use him to eliminate the Prince, he would at least have given a heads‑up in advance.

Although the Prince was somewhat worldly, Qu Wanying at least could be considered a very sincere friend.

So he didn't turn back, but continued rushing to the next city to exterminate the Lone Star Auction House there.

This time, just like before, it was a silent eradication.

It went more smoothly than last time, with no mishaps from start to finish, and this stronghold of the Xie family was completely eradicated.
