Chapter 1620: Unified Opinions

Ye Liuyun's chief steward Zhuge Feiyu died, and the news that the Chamber of Commerce's person-in-charge Liang Xue was taken away spread throughout Zhongyang Dalu.

Some people began to stir again, seizing the opportunity to act, taking over the Chamber of Commerce, or secretly making small moves behind the scenes.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun and everyone else were desperately cultivating, so temporarily no one managed these people, causing some to become even more arrogant.

Even the disciples of the Demonic God Sect, when they went out, began to encounter trouble and provocation again.

However, Ye Liuyun's power is deeply entrenched, and these people cannot easily shake his foundation in a short time.

Just like an elephant, being bitten a few times by ants is nothing to it.

But the elephant's lack of reaction attracted even more ants.

Only the Great Xia Dynasty, the Cheng Clan, and the Feng Clan saw things relatively clearly. Although Zhuge Feiyu and Liang Xue were gone, Ye Liuyun had returned.

This also shows that Ye Liuyun's strength can even deal with the Underworld God.

Moreover, from Ye Liuyun's previous battle with those three god-realm experts, they also knew his strength had grown even greater.

They had all seen Ye Liuyun's methods. They clearly understood that Ye Liuyun now couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters.

Once Ye Liuyun takes action, it will be another bloodbath.

They believed they could not withstand even a single frenzied strike from Ye Liuyun, so they notified their entire clans that no one was allowed to have designs on Ye Liuyun's properties.

Occasionally they would even lend a hand to help a little, slowing the speed at which ants gnaw at the elephant.

Within Ye Liuyun's Xuan Kong Shi, everyone's realms were breaking through one after another.

Ye Liuyun's own realm also rose to the sixth level of the Tianzun Realm.

"If we keep going up, it'll be the final stage of the Tianzun Realm!" Ye Liuyun also decided to come out and move around, to check the outside situation.

After the people inside the Xuan Kong Shi broke through their realms, they also came out one after another to get some fresh air.

Ye Liuyun first settled the relatives and friends he had brought; most of the troops and Ye Clan members he sent to train under Qin Peng, while some individuals were sent to the Pill and Artifact Alliance to be cared for by their parents. Lin Feier and Mo Ya were sent to the Demonic God Sect for focused cultivation.

Jin Yuanhui and Piao Yun were arranged by Ye Liuyun to serve as assistants to Feng Wanru, letting Feng Wanru take over Liang Xue's position, and also had Luo Yurou help Feng Wanru, guiding her in business.

Wu Qingcheng took over Zhuge Feiyu's position, becoming Ye Liuyun's chief steward.

Once these newcomers were in place, they discovered all kinds of problems.

Some people refused to follow management, the Chamber of Commerce had corrupt elements, some resources were leaking, and so on.

Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang also obtained much information from the intelligence network, all of which were small maneuvers covertly operated by some minor forces.

All the information was gathered to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun counted and felt that the accumulated problems were already plenty.

"Just right, we should also go out and move around, to get some practice!"

Ye Liuyun immediately notified everyone to get ready.

Their targets for action mainly have three aspects.

One is the Chamber of Commerce aspect: some Chamber of Commerce administrators collude with external minor forces, attempting to hollow out the Chamber of Commerce.

Another aspect is some Martial Cultivator academies, which suppress the Demonic God Sect everywhere and covet its resources.

The third aspect is the surrounding princes and dukes of the fief, who began to secretly nibble at Ye Liuyun's territory, often causing small skirmishes with the local garrison.

Ye Liuyun summoned Feng Wanru, Wu Qingcheng, and Qin Peng.

These three happen to be in charge of these three aspects respectively.

As a result, the opinions of these three turned out to be astonishingly unanimous.

"Kill! Kill until no one dares to move again!" All three shared the same idea.

Wu Qingcheng guessed that Ye Liuyun was determined to go to the Divine Realm and was preparing to eliminate future threats.

Feng Wanru did it for cultivation needs, while Qin Peng is absolutely warmongering; being idle makes him uncomfortable.

Ye Liuyun also agreed with their idea.

"Hmm, I share this idea. We were too lenient with them before, which gave them a chance to dare to bite us.

This time, we will make all forces on Zhongyang Dalu tremble with fear; even if rivers of blood flow, we will spare no effort! All the targets we have set must be eliminated, none left, completely wiped out!

Since this is a world where strength is supreme, let them witness our power and utterly intimidate them!

"Good!" Qin Peng shouted loudly!

Ye Liuyun smiled and reminded Qin Peng: "Let's discuss strategy, try to minimize our losses, and also benefit our strength increase."

Afterward, the several people began detailed planning on target selection, order of action, personnel and material allocation, etc.

This time, the targets they need to deal with number over thirty.

It includes six sects, eight princes and dukes, and seventeen commercial powers.

This does not yet count possible reinforcements these targets could muster. For example, if they want to attack a sect, they must consider that sect's allied sects. Also, some moles within the Chamber of Commerce, etc., need to be dealt with.

Therefore, the scale of this operation they are about to launch is not small.

Wu Qingcheng had already notified the Demonic God Sect in advance to recall as many outer disciples as possible, on the pretext of conducting a grand selection competition.

Finally, they decided to first eliminate some minor forces, then sweep away those princes and dukes, and finally concentrate their strength to wipe out those major sects.

Ye Liuyun's reason for making such a big commotion is actually to pave the way for his departure from Zhongyang Dalu.

He wants, before leaving, to make sure no power dares to scheme against them, so he can leave with peace of mind.

Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang were the first to act, beginning to use the intelligence network to purge spies planted by other forces.

Even the people sent by the Great Xia Dynasty, the Cheng Clan, and the Feng Clan, they did not let off.

When these three major powers noticed this clue, they immediately withdrew their people.

At this time, the Great Xia Dynasty was in the midst of old and new leadership transition, but the actual person in charge was still the Emperor Xia.

"Father Emperor, is Ye Liuyun doing this a bit excessive? He even dares to purge our people!" The Crown Prince complained to the Emperor Xia.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Xia gave a very solemn warning to the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

"If you have this idea, it's extremely dangerous! Do you still regard Ye Liuyun as that former fellow apprentice of yours?" The Emperor Xia questioned them.

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince still didn't quite understand; why was Emperor Xia speaking to them so sternly?

"I'm just complaining a little! I know he's now beyond comparison. But we haven't offended him; he doesn't need to go so far, right?"

Emperor Xia sighed, then said to them: "What do you mean by daring or not? Can't you see that Ye Liuyun has already become the strongest force in Zhongyang Dalu?"

"He's already surpassed us?" the Fourth Prince asked, also puzzled.

"Soon! You just wait and see—Zhongyang Dalu will soon be plunged into a bloody storm! After that, it will be the time when Ye Liuyun becomes the foremost power!" Emperor Xia exclaimed.
