Chapter 1781: Direct Provocation

In the team, over thirty people stepped out at once.

More than twenty were to stay in the Royal Mansion on duty, and fewer than ten were to go to the Alien Battlefield to earn resources.

Of the remaining over twenty people, Ye Liuyun and his four companions made up a quarter.

Zhang Wencai said nothing, telling them to prepare to leave over the next few days, and then went to arrange the Martial Cultivators who were to stay.

"The border battlefield is so far; once I go, coming back won't be easy! How about, before leaving, we first kill the remaining Three Great Vajras and stock up on resources needed for the journey!"

"It would be best to also wipe out one or two nearby bandit nests to gather more resources."

Thinking that, Ye Liuyun left the Royal Mansion at once and rushed to Xuan Yuan Tower.

Anyway, in seven days he will leave the Royal City, and now he has no more reservations.

Even if someone discovers his actions later, he will already be gone; when he returns, he will have become a strong one.

He first went to the merchant guild and inquired about the two nearest bandit gangs outside Xuan Yuan Ling City, informing them that he intended to leave for the border battlefield.

"Border Battlefield?"

Xuan Yuan Ling was also a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected that Ye Liuyun and the others' training objective was to go to the border battlefield.

"So before I leave, I want to take care of the remaining Three Great Vajras!"

Ye Liuyun said firmly.

"Eliminate them all?"

"They still have a fourth-tier early-stage Martial Cultivator!"

Xuan Yuan Ling already felt his mind couldn't keep up with Ye Liuyun's ideas.

"I need you to lend me the fastest Flying Boat and give me information on those three Vajras!"

Ye Liuyun bluntly made his request, without time to hear their shocked exclamation.

"They're at the Tavern Side Courtyard!"

Xuan Yuan Ling directly disclosed Xuan Yuan Yu's hideout.

He also transmitted the location information to Ye Liuyun.

It was a private property of Xuan Yuan Tower within the Royal City, guarded by many sentries.

Xuan Yuan Yu was inside, very safe.

She also gave Ye Liuyun a fourth-tier Flying Boat.

"If you can kill them before you leave, the Flying Boat is yours!"

"Fine.

Prepare three Heaven and Earth Power and three Spatial Power realm Crystal Stones for me."

After saying that, Ye Liuyun didn't look back and rushed straight to the Tavern Side Courtyard.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Xuan Yuan Ling watched Ye Liuyun's back and thought he seemed a bit abnormal.

She could even sense the killing aura on Ye Liuyun.

After leaving Xuan Yuan Tower, Ye Liuyun immediately changed out of his military uniform, altered his appearance while walking, and by the time he reached the Tavern Side Courtyard, he looked exactly like an elderly steward.

At the gate of the Tavern Side Courtyard, a few second-tier early-stage guards vigilantly watched the passing crowd.

When they saw Ye Liuyun approach, they instantly became nervous.

"Gentlemen, please report to the Fifth Master; I am the Fifth Master's steward, I have urgent matters to report."

Having previously performed a Soul Search, Ye Liuyun already knew the residence of the Fifth Great Vajra, which bore the image of an elderly man.

Moreover, the Eight Great Vajras were all referred to by the guards as the Masters.

The Fifth Great Vajra is their Fifth Master.

When those guards heard he was the Fifth Master's steward, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their tension easing.

"How did you find this place?"

"Hold on a moment!"

A few grumbled, then let someone in to report.

"Much obliged!"

Ye Liuyun bowed and nodded to those guards, which made them lower their guard.

Soon, the Fifth Great Vajra also rushed out with his guards.

"Why are you here?"

When he saw Ye Liuyun, he was a little confused, genuinely thinking there was some matter that brought him here.

"Fifth Master, may I have a word?"

Ye Liuyun said, feigning mystery.

The Fifth Great Vajra, also wearing an impatient expression, hurried to his side and pulled him to a corner of the wall.

"What is it?"

"Speak quickly."

He urged impatiently.

The other guards, seeing this, dared not use Divine Sense to probe the Fifth Master's information.

Seizing the chance, Ye Liuyun suddenly released a Soul, assaulting his Sea of Consciousness, while his five fingers, like hooks, reached for the Fifth Vajra's Primordial Core.

Primordial Spirit Secret Technique was also fully deployed, suppressing his True Essence manipulation.

"You…" he shouted, but the Soul was instantly extinguished by Ye Liuyun.

"Psshh"—the Primordial Core was scooped out by Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then grabbed his corpse, leapt into the air, using the speed advantage of the Heaven-Wander Boots, and sprinted at full speed.

「Hahaha, the Eight Great Vajras are nothing special, eldest brother, second brother, go to Fang Family Ridge outside the North City and collect the corpses for your fifth brother! 」

Ye Liuyun's laughter also spread throughout half of the Royal City.

By the time the guards at the gate reacted, they could no longer catch up to Ye Liuyun.

The eldest and second brothers of the Eight Great Vajras immediately rushed out, pursuing in Ye Liuyun's direction.

At this point Ye Liuyun had already released a fourth-tier Flying Boat, flying straight toward outside the North City.

The two of them, one at early Fourth Layer Realm, the other at late Third Layer Realm, were actually quite fast.

But unfortunately they still fell a bit short, failing to catch Ye Liuyun, and watched as his Flying Boat charged out of the Royal City.

「Go back and inform the young master, then take people to Fang Family Ridge。

「I'll go after him。」

The eldest brother of the Eight Great Vajras gave an order, then set off in pursuit of Ye Liuyun.

His early Fourth Layer Realm cultivation already counts as a master in the Royal City.

So he had no worries about deceit; even if there was danger, escaping on his own would be no problem.

Xuan Yuan Ling also kept watching the direction of the Side Courtyard of the tavern.

Although he couldn't see Ye Liuyun's face clearly, he did hear his voice.

Moreover, she saw Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat charge out of the Royal City, with the chief of the Eight Great Vajras pursuing after it.

「This guy is really crazy! He actually went straight to provoke them! 」

Xuan Yuan Ling was now extremely worried, fearing that Ye Liuyun would be captured alive and forced to reveal that he was an assassin hired by Xuan Yuan Hong.

But she also hoped for a miracle.

「What if he has a way to deal with those several Great Vajras! 」

So she was also on edge, anxiously awaiting news.

Soon, the second brother of the Eight Great Vajras also led more than ten Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators in pursuit.

Upon hearing Fang Family Ridge, Xuan Yuan Yu also felt relieved about his own safety.

「So it's those bandits from Fang Family Ridge! Go, bring the manor's experts, and wipe them out completely for me! 」

After the second brother left, he still felt a bit of lingering fear, worried that he had fallen for the bandits' "lure the tiger away from the mountain" ploy, and immediately sought help from his clan, asking experts to come and take him back to the family.

Upon learning that another group of more than ten Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators had also gone after Ye Liuyun, Xuan Yuan Ling became even more worried.

「The bandits at Fang Family Ridge are already numerous; adding the two strongest Vajras and more than ten Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators, can he still make it back? 」

Meanwhile, after Ye Liuyun arrived at Fang Family Ridge, without a word he directly released everyone and the Magic Vine, and they began killing together.

「Quick! Take out the higher-level ones first。」

「The pursuers are coming up behind! 」

Ye Liuyun also urged the Magic Vine, fearing that the eldest brother of the Eight Great Vajras would be frightened into fleeing upon seeing it.

The Magic Vine also immediately targeted Martial Cultivators above the Third Layer Realm; countless vines shot out, seizing and devouring them, then the vines were hidden underground.

The rest were left to Ye Liuyun and his companions, letting them fight those bandits.
