Chapter 1776: You Ask Too Much

Ye Liuyun arrived at Xuan Yuan Hall and was immediately escorted by Steward Liao into a private room.

"Steward, please summon Miss Xuan Yuan Ling for me!"

Ye Liuyun said politely.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Steward Liao knew Ye Liuyun was a major client, dared not delay, and immediately went to find Xuan Yuan Ling for her.

"Fine, since you're a major client, I'll go meet them."

Xuan Yuan Ling agreed on the spot.

In fact, she had heard the news that morning and already guessed that the deaths of those two Vajras were connected to Ye Liuyun.

When Xuan Yuan Ling saw Ye Liuyun, she also sent the steward away.

"Why did you come wearing a military uniform?"

Ye Liuyun hadn't changed clothes at all and came straight to find him.

Ye Liuyun ignored the idle talk and said directly, "I'm here to take four pieces of 'Artistic Conception' Crystal Stone!"

"How do you do it?"

Xuan Yuan Ling asked curiously.

"What? How do I do it?"

Ye Liuyun pretended not to know what she was asking.

"I know, you went to Warm Fragrance Pavilion last night and listened to Hua Xiangyuan play a piece together with Xuan Yuan Yu."

As a result, one of the Eight Great Vajras died on the spot, and another died later under mysterious circumstances.

"I'm just very curious how you managed it."

Xuan Yuan Ling pressed further.

"You ask too much! Since Miss Xuan Yuan refuses to keep her promise, I'll just leave!"

Ye Liuyun said, stood up, and was about to leave.

"Hold on! I'm just curious, I didn't say I wouldn't keep the promise."

Xuan Yuan Ling blocked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "A promise only cares about the result, not the process! Right?"

Xuan Yuan Ling paused, then asked, "What kind of 'Artistic Conception' Crystal Stone do you want?"

"Two Heaven and Earth Powers, two Space Powers."

Ye Liuyun said bluntly.

"Wait a moment!"

Xuan Yuan Ling said no more and went to fetch them at once.

After Ye Liuyun obtained the four large pieces of Crystal Stone, he said nothing further, left the private room, and hurried to the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, most people were discussing the deaths of those two Vajras!

The Sixth Vajra, everyone believed, was killed by He Lianqiang's guard, without doubt.

Only the Eighth Vajra sparked various speculations.

Some even guessed it was the work of a Monster Beast.

Because their cores had been extracted.

Others said they encountered sightless bandits, who took them cleanly.

Ye Liuyun listened to their chatter while contemplating how to eliminate the other six Vajras.

The others, even at the lowest level of Third Initial, were all stronger than him.

A direct attack would likely cause too much commotion.

Thus the best method was a Spiritual Soul Attack.

He had already considered the killing order.

After dinner, Ye Liuyun rushed back to Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

The attendant following him was also quite helpless.

When Ye Liuyun entered Warm Fragrance Pavilion, he could only wait outside.

He wasn't as affluent as Ye Liuyun and was reluctant to spend money here.

Ye Liuyun found an empty spot, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and slipped away right under his nose.

This time he went to a clinic outside the city.

Such clinics are usually open to ordinary civilians.

Martial Cultivators don't need such ordinary clinics.

He first used Divine Sense to scan outside the clinic, then waited outside.

Soon after, the Seventh Vajra hurried over.

He was a native of the Royal City, funded his parents' clinic here, and came each month to collect payment.

But before he could enter the clinic, Ye Liuyun launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on him.

Using the same method and operation, the core and Storage Ring were taken by Ye Liuyun.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun returned directly to Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

However, he didn't remove the Invisibility Cloak and instead rushed to a dancer's room.

The dancer was the lover of the Third Vajra.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense scanned and found the Third Vajra training inside.

Without hesitation, he let his clone assume the dancer's form, pushed the door open, and together with the clone, four Souls attacked his Sea of Consciousness, killing him outright.

Afterwards, he stored the elixir and storage ring, then directly donned the invisibility cloak and withdrew.

He walked to the courtyard, found an empty spot, revealed himself, then strolled into the main hall, found a few serving women, and began drinking flower wine with them.

At that moment, a maid beside Hua Xiangyuan suddenly came to find Ye Liuyun: "My mistress invites Young Master Ye to enjoy the zither."

The other women all knew they could not afford to offend Hua Xiangyuan, so none dared to speak.

Ye Liuyun, however, directly refused: "I don't want to listen to the zither tonight, I'm not going!"

The women never expected that Hua Xiangyuan would actively seek out this young man, yet he actually refused to go.

And Hua Xiangyuan's maid also didn't expect Ye Liuyun to directly refuse, but in front of everyone she couldn't say much, so she had to go report back to Hua Xiangyuan.

After a while, that maid came running over again, handed Ye Liuyun a transmission talisman, and said to him: "My mistress has me give this to you, sir."

At the same time, she also sent a voice transmission to Ye Liuyun: "My mistress has me tell Young Master Ye that Mysterious Origin Yu is no longer in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion; the Vajra guards at the entrance are merely for show."

"Understood."

Ye Liuyun acknowledged with a sound, then casually put away the transmission talisman and sent the maid back.

After delivering the message, that maid simply left.

The women all gathered around Ye Liuyun, sighing: "Young Master, you're really handsome—you even ignore Hua Xiangyuan!"

His clone, meanwhile, checked the information inside the transmission talisman while in the Space World.

It turned out that after Mysterious Origin Yu learned last night that the Eighth Vajra had died, he felt endangered and that very night ran back home.

Nowadays, the fourth Vajra guarding the gate is also just a decoration.

Ye Liuyun immediately stored one of his souls into the Space World, entered the clone's sea of consciousness, then immediately had the clone don the invisibility cloak and go kill the fourth Vajra.

After the clone arrived, it directly launched a spiritual soul attack, extinguishing the fourth Vajra's soul, then promptly tore off the storage ring and produced the elixir.

However, the act of producing the elixir still aroused the notice of the martial cultivators guarding this place.

Ye Liuyun's clone also immediately ran outward.

Having run not far from Ye Liuyun, he was recalled into the Space World by Ye Liuyun using space translocation.

"Close call!"

The clone also sighed, returning Ye Liuyun's soul as well.

As for the martial cultivator who had been pursuing the clone, he kept chasing all the way to the gate, looked around, found no one, and then withdrew.

Inside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, already many people were gathered around the fourth Vajra's corpse, pointing and gossiping.

The guards of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion could only temporarily store the corpse, waiting for people from the Mysterious Origin Mansion to come claim it.

Hua Xiangyuan also didn't expect that, after she had just finished notifying Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun would already have taken action.

Moreover, exactly how Ye Liuyun had made his move kept her very curious.

Ye Liuyun was clearly drinking with the women the whole time, with not a shred of suspicion.

Yet to say it had nothing to do with Ye Liuyun, she simply wouldn't believe it.

Because just after she finished speaking to Ye Liuyun, the fourth Vajra died.

Having no choice, she could only inquire via the transmission talisman, but Ye Liuyun ignored her and continued drinking with the women.

Ye Liuyun drank until midnight before leaving, returning to the Royal Mansion.
