Chapter 1494: Ninth Imperial Prince

Ye Liuyun and company returned to the Curse Tribe's village, causing a stir among the Curse Tribe.

The Curse Tribe never expected that A Ya and the others could still come back alive; they all gathered around to inquire about the situation.

The Clan Chief excitedly grabbed A Ya and asked about the situation inside Death Valley; A Ya also gave the Clan Chief a detailed account, leaving the Clan Chief astonished.

A Ya also handed over a large amount of spirit stones to the Clan Chief, shocking him further. Therefore A Ya suggested going with Ye Liuyun and the others to look for resources, and the Clan Chief had no objection.

Meng Zhangxing and the others also exchanged spirit stones with the Clan Chief for a lot of ferocious beast meat.

The Curse Tribe also needed spirit stones to buy daily supplies, killing two birds with one stone.

After everyone finished what they needed to do, they immediately set off. A Ya bade farewell to the Clan Chief and boarded Guo Da's flying boat together with Ye Liuyun and the others.

At Guo Da's flying boat's speed, Meng Zhangxing estimated the journey would take a little over a month. This gave everyone a chance to consolidate their recently raised realms.

Ye Liuyun spent most of the time piloting the flying boat, only occasionally being swapped out to cultivate for a day or two.

He stayed outside to cultivate Heaven and Earth Power, while letting his clone inside the Xuan Kong Shi to speed up his progress.

Their flying boat had been flying for over twenty days, and everything had gone smoothly.

That day, Ye Liuyun was wandering the Taixu when he suddenly spotted an arrow shooting toward the flying boat.

He immediately withdrew his soul, activated the flying boat's defense array, and called out to Meng Zhangxing and the others.

Just as a few people stepped out of the cabin, they heard a boom; the flying boat shook violently, making everyone unsteady and nearly topple over.

"This arrow must have been shot with a divine-rank treasure!", Ye Liuyun judged from its impact force.

Guo Da immediately took over piloting the flying boat and strengthened its defenses.

Everyone also extended their divine sense and saw more than ten young martial cultivators below, with a teenager holding a bow in the middle, surrounded by many servants—clearly a wealthy young master's entourage.

Seeing that the flying boat had been hit by an arrow yet was unharmed, the teenager immediately nocked another arrow, preparing to fire again.

"What's going on?" Meng Zhangxing asked Ye Liuyun, puzzled.

"I don't know! The flying boat was fine, then suddenly we were attacked!", Ye Liuyun also didn't know how he had offended those people below.

"Which brat is this! Old Guo, go check it out!", Meng Zhangxing wasn't going to just put up with it.

At that moment, the teenager shot another arrow.

Just then, Guo Da lowered the flying boat, and the arrow whizzed past it, missing.

Guo Da, fearing the teenager might shoot again, had everyone disembark and stowed the flying boat.

Although the flying boat had a defense array, its main function was piloting, not combat like a warship, so its defensive capability wasn't strong.

"Who are you? Why attack us?" Meng Zhangxing demanded directly.

The teenager just grinned and said, "I'm bored, just testing my bow! Since you won't let me shoot the flying boat…"

Saying that, he actually drew the bow again, aiming at Meng Zhangxing.

"Holy crap!", Meng Zhangxing instantly felt the arrow lock on. A divine-rank bow and arrow—being hit is no joke.

At that moment, a young man beside him whispered a few words to the teenager and glanced toward A Ya.

The teenager glanced at A Ya, then lowered his bow and arrow.

They probably realized A Ya was from the Curse Tribe and didn't dare provoke her.

"Boring!", the teenager said, tossing the bow and arrow to a nearby old servant, then turned and left with his entourage.

Meng Zhangxing's danger was over, but having suffered such a loss, he immediately wanted to confront the teenager; Ye Liuyun and the others quickly followed.

But that old servant leapt into the air and blocked Meng Zhangxing.

"Hold on, don't attack yet!", the old man shouted to Meng Zhangxing and company.

"How come?" Meng Zhangxing saw the old man spoke politely, so he stopped and asked.

"The one who just shot the arrow is the Ninth Imperial Prince of the Nan Xiang Empire. He meant no harm, just being mischievous."

Saying that, he produced a storage ring and shoved it into Meng Zhangxing's hand.

"These are compensation for you all; I hope you'll give this old man a little face and let it go, to avoid bringing trouble upon yourself."

Meng Zhangxing's anger hadn't faded: "What's with an imperial prince? Does that mean he can treat others' lives as nothing?"

Meng Zhangxing raised his hand to toss the storage ring back.

But Ye Liuyun pressed his shoulder, stopping him.

"Since the old man means well, just take it! It's not like you're missing a piece of meat", Ye Liuyun told Meng Zhangxing.

At the same time, he sent Meng Zhangxing a mental transmission: "Don't move. Those servants are all Tianzun realm!"

Although the servants surrounding the teenager seemed to have no cultivation, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw that they were all actually Tianzun realm.

Just like this old man before us, he is a sixth-layer Tianzun—the highest cultivation among those servants.

"Thank you, young sir, I take my leave!", the old man bowed to Ye Liuyun, then hurried after the teenager's departing direction.

"What kind of nonsense is this!", Meng Zhangxing said indignantly.

Guo Da also came over and patted Meng Zhangxing's shoulder: "Forget it, better to avoid trouble—this is their territory!"

Luo Yun took the storage ring, looked inside, and exclaimed in surprise: "Thirty thousand spirit stones! The Nan Xiang Empire is certainly generous—you didn't lose out either!"

Saying that, Luo Yun tossed the storage ring back to Meng Zhangxing.

Meng Zhangxing also checked; sure enough, it contained thirty thousand spirit stones, which slightly eased his anger.

Meng Zhangxing gave a cold snort: "Hmph! For the sake of the spirit stones, I'll let it slide—but don't let me run into that brat again, or I'll teach him how to be a person!"

Guo Da, worried Meng Zhangxing might cause trouble, immediately launched the flying boat and hurried away.

The few of them chatted inside the flying boat.

"What's the Ninth Imperial Prince's name?", Ye Liuyun asked Meng Zhangxing.

"Luotianming!", Meng Zhangxing said: "I heard he's the favorite imperial prince of Luo Yi, but I never expected him to behave like this!"

"He's just spoiled! Rich young masters are all arrogant and overbearing, let alone an imperial prince!", Ye Liuyun didn't care.

"That also depends on the person! Not all imperial sons are like that!" Meng Zhangxing hurriedly explained to himself.

He is also an imperial son of the Northern Eagle Empire. Although he is angry at Luo Tianming, he does not want others to misunderstand the title of imperial son.

"Yes! For example, the fifth imperial son of our Northern Eagle Empire does not bully us commoners!" Luo Yun said with a smile.

"Haha!" Meng Zhangxing also laughed.

Afterwards, they chatted and laughed, not paying too much attention to the matter. It was just like encountering a spoiled rich kid.
