Chapter 1700: Unreasonable

Ye Liuyun immediately told this news to Mu Yuqing.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yuqing wore a look of disgust and said angrily: "These people are truly hateful! When the Foreign Tribe seized the Primordial Power, they didn't come to help; they only knew to hide here and take refuge."

"They shouldn't have let the Magic Vine rescue them; they should have just left them to die trapped here!"

"Maybe they didn't get the news! After all, this place is far from where the Primordial Power is; without my Flying Shuttle, we couldn't reach here in several months."

Ye Liuyun comforted her.

Upon hearing that, Mu Yuqing also thought it possible: "I hope they really don't know!"

After the Magic Vine had cleaned up all the Corpse Demons outside, it hid outside the cave where the Wan family were hiding, awaiting Ye Liuyun's command.

Ye Liuyun and Mu Yuqing, seeing no one come out, directly entered the Wan family's residence.

The Wan family's residence, previously occupied by Corpse Demons, has now been completely knocked down by the Magic Vine.

"It seems the Wan people have long abandoned these residences!"

Ye Liuyun, walking and thinking, brought Mu Yuqing straight to the Wan family rear mountain's Lightning-attracting Platform.

Lightning was still continuously bombarding the Lightning-attracting Platform, often striking so that electricity flashed in all directions.

Ye Liuyun carefully observed the ground; basically, by the time he reached Mid-Mountain Ridge, there were no footprints on the steps, as if no one had come for a long time.

Presumably, the Corpse Demons also dare not approach.

Further ahead, the power of lightning often leaks out.

Ye Liuyun walked ahead, absorbing any occasional leakage or burst of lightning power.

His Divine Sense also noticed a cave on the mountaintop, with a stone slab sealing its entrance.

The stone slab also had a Formation for protection.

In front of the cave was a large platform.

The stones paving that large platform were all Lightning-struck Stones.

"So many!"

Ye Liuyun felt excited in his heart.

Here the Lightning-struck Stones are not only numerous but also large in size; the piece in the middle is almost a zhang square.

If we take this, it would definitely be enough.

However, Ye Liuyun wasn't greedy; he thought taking a piece of similar size would suffice.

After all, the Wan family people are still here, so these things aren't ownerless.

But before they could reach the mountaintop, a voice came from inside the cave.

"Didn't I tell you?

"We won't go out! What damned nonsense about protecting the world's Primordial Power has nothing to do with us.

"Why are you coming again?"

Ye Liuyun and Mu Yuqing, upon hearing that, both stopped in their tracks.

Mu Yuqing asked: "Has anyone come before?

"What happened to those people?"

"Hmph! No need to ask—they were either eaten by Corpse Demons or turned into Corpse Demons! They can't even protect themselves, yet they want to save the world—how ridiculous!"

That voice said sarcastically.

"The Corpse Demons outside have been cleared by us; may the Wan family's Martial Cultivators come out to speak?"

Ye Liuyun, hearing that, didn't want to waste words with them; he directly wanted to take the Lightning-struck Stone and leave.

"There's nothing to say; you guys go! The Corpse Demons aren't just these; they'll be back soon.

"By then, if you can't break out, don't blame me for not warning you!

"Last time, your people died just like that!"

That voice spoke coldly, really not wanting to meet Ye Liuyun and them.

"I didn't come to persuade you to come out; I want to exchange a Lightning-struck Stone with you.

"Food, elixirs, or Spirit Stones can be used for the exchange!"

Seeing they refused to come out, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to state his demand directly.

"No exchange! This Lightning-attracting Platform is the foundation of our Wan family; if you dare to have designs on it, don't blame us for being impolite!"

That Martial Cultivator threatened.

"I only need one piece; it won't harm the foundation of this Lightning-attracting Platform..."

Ye Liuyun still wanted to explain.

But before he could finish, another Martial Cultivator's voice came from inside: "Get lost! Don't dawdle here! Not even a half piece is allowed!"

This voice was transmitted via True Essence; one could tell that Martial Cultivator is at least at the late Heavenly Venerable stage.

"These Martial Cultivators are truly unreasonable.

"Don't waste words with them; just seize it outright!"

This time, it was actually Mu Yuqing who sent a mental transmission to Ye Liuyun, letting him directly seize it.

Those previously sent out to find Martial Cultivators for help were all Mu Yuqing's fellow sect brothers and sisters.

Therefore, upon learning that the Wan family not only didn't help but also stood by and watched people die, Mu Yuqing developed hatred toward the Wan family.

The Wan family people actually saw humans surrounded and yet didn't lift a finger to rescue them, even though they were many and possessed lightning power; if they wanted to save people, they should have been able to do so.

So Mu Yuqing also wanted Ye Liuyun to directly exterminate these selfish lot.

Moreover, given their extremely vile attitude, if Ye Liuyun didn't directly seize it by force, they probably wouldn't give it.

Ye Liuyun also knew that soft tactics wouldn't work; only force would do.

He has a good temper, but that doesn't mean he's good-tempered with everyone!

He had Mu Yuqing step back to avoid being struck by the lightning power.

He himself continued walking upward.

"How?"

"Punk, you're asking for death! Do you think we don't dare to kill you?"

The Martial Cultivator inside the Cave saw him still walking up and threatened him again.

Ye Liuyun, however, coldly snorted: "I'm just afraid you can't kill me!"

Saying that, he instead sped up, and in a few steps leapt to before the Lightning Attraction Platform.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot directly from the stone slab sealing the cave toward Ye Liuyun.

"Turns out the formation on this stone slab can actually eject the Martial Cultivator's attacks!"

Ye Liuyun also sighed in his heart at this formation.

"Boom!"

This bolt of lightning solidly slammed into Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't dodge at all.

After the lightning faded, Ye Liuyun still stood there unharmed.

"Since you struck first, I won't hold back!"

Ye Liuyun said, stomping his feet on the ground, which rumbled with a "boom—", and the previously laid lightning‑strike stones were all loosened by his stomp.

"Damn it! Kill him, all together!"

Inside the Cave, that Martial Cultivator shouted in frustration.

"Click, click..."

Another five or six bolts of lightning roared as they shot from the door panel toward Ye Liuyun.

This time Ye Liuyun sidestepped to dodge several of the lightning attacks.

These Martial Cultivators' lightning attacks contained their True Essence, three of which were the True Essence of the Heavenly Sovereign Ninefold, and Ye Liuyun did not dare be careless.

Immediately he struck the ground with a palm, accompanied by a huge "boom—", and those lightning‑strike stones were all blasted apart by his palm.

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, collecting all those lightning‑strike stones into the Space World.

These lightning‑strike stones have long absorbed lightning power here; their storage of lightning is extremely rich, each piece carrying a great amount of lightning power.

Ye Liuyun, however, didn't care at all.

His lightning power, although not yet reaching the Divine Realm,

but having been tempered by heavenly lightning, these lightning powers only make his body feel a little numb, without affecting his attacks.
