Chapter 1431: Lone Star's Downfall

Ye Liuyun hadn't even waited for a reply when a thud sounded from the outer courtyard, and a martial cultivator collapsed on the spot.

"Damn, we've been poisoned!" a martial cultivator exclaimed, but the martial cultivators inside the courtyard kept collapsing one after another.

These people felt sore all over; they couldn't mobilize their true essence, let alone stand.

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" the Grand Elder, without even glancing at Xie Tianqi, directly questioned the princess.

Luo Yun, however, said to Ye Liuyun: "Yours is too slow!"

"A bit slower gives better effect!" Ye Liuyun replied with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, a thud sounded, and someone inside the hall also collapsed.

Afterward, martial cultivators kept collapsing one after another.

These martial cultivators, upon falling, immediately began to twitch, their faces turned black, and poisonous gas could seep out from their bodies.

"Young Master, what do you mean by this?" the Grand Elder exclaimed in astonishment.

"The Lone Star Auction House no longer needs to exist!" Ye Liuyun said to him.

"We've been tricked! The Young Master wants to kill us!" a few martial cultivators reacted, but as soon as they tried to use their true essence, they immediately succumbed to the poison and collapsed.

Some immediately took detox pills, but it was already too late; after so long, the toxin had already permeated every part of their bodies and began to act.

The Grand Elder also felt the toxin inside him. He did not resist with his true essence, but looked at Ye Liuyun in bewilderment and asked, "Why is this?"

"Because you've allied with the Foreign Tribe, you all deserve to die!" Ye Liuyun said, still using Xie Tianqi's tone.

"Spiritual Soul Attack!"

Suddenly, the Grand Elder let out a howl and launched the first Spiritual Soul Attack at Ye Liuyun.

It turned out he knew he was bound to die, so he raised the question to draw Ye Liuyun's attention, then seized the chance to organize the remaining Tianzun Realm martial cultivators to jointly attack Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun smiled faintly, allowing those martial cultivators' souls to rush into his Sea of Consciousness!

Also, the souls of two martial cultivators attacked Luo Yun.

"Do you need help?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

"No need, I've already burned them almost to ashes!" Luo Yun replied.

Luo Yun's soul is also very strong. As an alchemist who refines pills, a cultivator's soul must be far stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Moreover, she had arranged her flames within her Sea of Consciousness for defense, so she could handle any attack that wasn't too strong.

"Your poison won't work; it can't knock out souls!" Luo Yun was still commenting on Ye Liuyun's toxin.

"I need that kind of toxin source to be able to refine it! I've never encountered a substance that can kill souls."

Ye Liuyun also admitted that his toxin source was indeed lacking in the ability to kill souls.

"That's hard to find! But there's definitely some in the south, I know!" Luo Yun chatted with him, waiting for everyone inside the hall to die.

After Ye Liuyun waited for everyone to die, he also absorbed the toxin back, removed their storage rings, and then set fire to burn all the corpses to ashes.

"What should we do with these?" Luo Yun asked, pointing at the martial cultivators strewn on the ground.

"Leave it to me to handle; you go take supplies from their treasure vault." Ye Liuyun said.

"All right!" Luo Yun agreed, extinguished the incense smoke in the Buddhist niche, then used her true essence to gather the toxic fumes in the courtyard together and set them ablaze. Afterward, she rushed to the treasure vault of the Lone Star Auction House.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, released a clone and began using Spiritual Soul Attacks, dragging each martial cultivator's soul into his Sea of Consciousness one by one to destroy them.

These people's souls had already been paralyzed by the smoke and toxin, utterly unable to resist.

This time, his and his clone's soul power grew tremendously; the soul power of hundreds of martial cultivators was enough to elevate their souls to another level.

"What kind of poison is Luo Yun using? It's so peculiar that one can't even notice it; there's no sign of poisoning on the body, just limpness." Ye Liuyun found this quite strange.

He and his clone were also absorbing while sucking those people's storage rings over.

He burned the last corpses, then recalled his clone and went to meet Luo Yun.

In the other courtyards, there were still many low-level martial cultivators.

They weren't qualified to go to the hall. Even if they saw the firelight, they wouldn't dare to check. Moreover, all their experts were there, and they didn't think anything would happen.

But Luo Yun's assault on the treasure vault ended up drawing them all over.

However, as Ye Liuyun had just passed through a courtyard, he saw Luo Yun returning.

"We've got it all! Plenty of resources!" Luo Yun smiled at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun swept the area with his divine sense, discovered the treasure vault's location, and found corpses littered everywhere, all bearing sword wounds.

"You don't show it, but your strike was pretty ruthless!" Ye Liuyun praised.

Luo Yun also saw that the front of the hall was completely empty, knowing Ye Liuyun hadn't left a single person alive.

"Same to you, you're no different!"

The two exchanged a smile and walked out together; along the way they encountered guards and disposed of them handily.

Now the Lone Star Auction House doesn't even have a single Zao Hua Realm expert; there's nobody who can stop them.

The Lone Star Auction House was also completely wiped out by Ye Liuyun, existing only in name.

The martial cultivators infected with the Foreign Tribe's aura have all been eliminated; Ye Liuyun no longer needs to hold a grudge against them. This also counts as settling one of his concerns.

Xie Tianqi will surely seek revenge, but Ye Liuyun doesn't care at all. Given Xie Tianqi's strength, he still poses no threat to Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun went out, they met up with Meng Zhangxing and Guo Da, immediately boarded a flying boat, and headed out of the city.

Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun, meanwhile, took out all the seized supplies without holding anything back, letting Meng Zhangxing distribute them.

Meng Zhangxing divided the goods into nine shares; Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun each took three, Guo Da took two, and Meng Zhangxing kept one for himself. All were distributed according to merit, and nobody objected.

The few people's flying boat smoothly left the city without encountering any obstruction.

They also began celebrating aboard the flying boat.

"What a pity! Rushing out of the city, otherwise we should have found a place to feast and celebrate!" Meng Zhangxing said regretfully.

"Better to first put distance between us and the imperial capital; there will be plenty of chances later!" Ye Liuyun felt safety should come first.

"Exactly! I see you've got money and now you want to show off!" Luo Yun also started scolding Meng Zhangxing.

Finally, Luo Yun didn't forget to add a sentence: "Remember to make up my gift for me! They both have gifts for me, you still don't have one!"

Afterward, Luo Yun also gave Ye Liuyun a pill, dispelling the effects of the Transformation Pill and restoring his original appearance.

Several people chatted and laughed, heading south all the way, and the journey was not boring.

Half a month later, they finally found a big city, sneaked in, and had a big feast.
