Chapter 1426: Start Forming a Team

Let's go! This guy used to mess with me before, so I'm being careful. I guess since it's your first time here, he shouldn't screw us over! Meng Zhangxing said to Ye Liuyun.

He's the Old Guo you mentioned? I thought he was an elder! Ye Liuyun asked.

He's actually old in age, just looks young! Meng Zhangxing explained to Ye Liuyun, then stepped into the courtyard.

Ye Liuyun was about to follow in when he suddenly saw the formation activate, so he immediately retreated.

At that moment, Meng Zhangxing was trapped in a fire formation and soon was burning so badly he screamed.

Old Guo, you're screwing me again? Meng Zhangxing shouted angrily.

Who let you call me old? We're the same age, okay! The refined-looking man laughed.

Ye Liuyun saw his demeanor and didn't think he would be ruthless.

Meng Zhangxing also used a treasure to block the flames, so he didn't intervene to save him.

It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously! You'll scare people like that! Meng Zhangxing quickly softened his tone.

That man glanced at Ye Liuyun, then immediately stopped the formation and released Meng Zhangxing.

Afterwards, he also said to Ye Liuyun, "Rest assured, as long as you're not like him, I won't use formations against you!"

Ye Liuyun also nodded: "Alright! I'll try to stay far away from him!"

Haha! The refined man was also amused by Ye Liuyun, made a gesturing invitation, and let Ye Liuyun enter the courtyard.

Ye Liuyun, Guo Da. Meng Zhangxing gave them a sideways glance and introduced them.

Ye Liuyun and Guo Da also exchanged greetings, thus becoming acquainted.

When can we leave? Our exploration team should also be formed now! Meng Zhangxing directly asked.

Who knew you'd come so suddenly! Give me two days to prepare! Guo Da replied.

That works out well; he also has things to attend to. In two days, shall we meet outside the city gate? Meng Zhangxing asked.

"Good!" Guo Da also agreed.

Next, Guo Da asked Ye Liuyun what skills he had and how they could help the expedition, also shared some of his own strengths, after which the three parted.

Let's go have some fun; being cooped up on the flying boat every day is so boring!

After leaving Guo Da's side courtyard, Meng Zhangxing proposed.

Sure! Ye Liuyun didn't mind, thinking going out to relax and get to know each other better wouldn't be bad.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhangxing brought Ye Liuyun to a brothel.

Is this the fun you meant? Ye Liuyun asked.

Yeah! What else? How can you have fun without women? Meng Zhangxing righteously countered.

Then you go yourself; I'm not going! I'd rather find a restaurant and have a big meal! Ye Liuyun directly refused.

With Liang Xue accompanying him in the Space World, he had no intention of going to a brothel to mess around.

You're not capable, are you? Meng Zhangxing asked lecherously.

Ye Liuyun, furious, raised his hand and slapped!

"Spare my life, I was wrong!"

With a "bang," Meng Zhangxing blocked that slap, then quickly slipped into the brothel. Ye Liuyun didn't put much force into it; he was just trying to scare him.

That guy! Ye Liuyun's clone felt contempt for him, then went straight to a restaurant, booked a private room, and called Ye Liuyun himself, Liang Xue, and others out for a big meal together.

After the meal, Ye Liuyun again led everyone to the original hometown auction house, destroyed this auction house once more, then directly donned the invisibility cloak and left the city to wait outside for Meng Zhangxing and Guo Da.

The further south they went, the stronger the Lone Star Auction House became.

Upon reaching the Central Region, the Lone Star Auction House already had elders at the Earth Sovereign level.

According to Meng Zhangxing, the Lone Star Auction House in the Imperial Capital is the headquarters of the Lone Star Auction House and the strongest.

Ye Liuyun wanted to enter the Imperial Capital to destroy it, but Meng Zhangxing advised against Ye Liuyun using force.

According to Meng Zhangxing's analysis, if Ye Liuyun caused trouble in the Imperial Capital and was discovered, his strength would still be insufficient for him to leave safely.

If a frontal assault won't work, then poison! Ye Liuyun thought darkly.

The next stop, they would reach the Imperial Capital.

Another team member mentioned by Meng Zhangxing, that alchemist, was also in the Imperial Capital.

Therefore, they will definitely go to that stop in the Imperial Capital.

Ye Liuyun also didn't intend to miss this opportunity. He prepared to destroy the headquarters of the Lone Star Auction House.

Actually, the current Lone Star Auction House has been weakened by Ye Liuyun's killings, its strength now less than half of what it originally was.

Prince Consort Xie Tianqi, after his previous defeat and return to the Empire, had also become somewhat more honest for the time being.

Although the Empire didn't blame him too much, after all he had taken 400,000 troops out and brought none back, which is embarrassing to admit. So now he can only mobilize the Xie family's strength to deal with Ye Liuyun.

However, half of the Xie family's Heavenly Sovereign powerhouses have already been killed by Ye Liuyun. Therefore, he also has no choice but to shrink the Lone Star Auction House's operations.

The Lone Star Auction Houses in small towns have all been withdrawn by him. Now only major cities retain some personnel.

Those martial cultivators corrupted by the foreign tribe have all been recalled by Xie Tianqi to the headquarters. This is also why Ye Liuyun insists on destroying their headquarters.

Meng Zhangxing's suggestion is to first gather the team members, then everyone can brainstorm solutions together.

After all, this time we're dealing with the foreign tribe; it's not entirely Ye Liuyun's personal matter, so Meng Zhangxing feels the team can participate.

Two days later, Guo Da was the first to arrive and meet up with Ye Liuyun.

Not seeing Meng Zhangxing, Guo Da directly asked: "That guy ran off to the brothel again, right?"

Ye Liuyun laughed and nodded.

Just wait and see; he'll probably become poor again! Guo Da laughed.

Ye Liuyun then realized, no wonder Meng Zhangxing is always broke—he must be spending all his money at the brothel!

Afterwards, the two chatted while waiting for him. After an hour, Meng Zhangxing finally emerged from the city, still unsatisfied.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and Guo Da's disdainful looks, he still explained for himself: "You two don't understand! I am tempering my mind! At the same time I am enjoying life—how unlike you two, so boring!"

"Don't mind him, this guy's thick‑skinned!" Guo Da said to Ye Liuyun, then unleashed his own Flying Boat.

His Flying Boat, after being modified by a Formation, has far greater speed and defense than an ordinary Flying Boat.

Thus Ye Liuyun and Meng Zhangxing both boarded his Flying Boat and rushed toward the capital.

Guo Da's Flying Boat was indeed fast; the journey originally estimated to take half a month was completed in seven days, saving half the time.

Here, Flying Boats can fly directly into the capital.

To avoid being spotted by the inspecting soldiers, upon reaching the capital Ye Liuyun, inside the Flying Boat, directly donned the Invisibility Cloak.
