Chapter 1793: All Mine

"Then why didn't you tell us?"

Ye Liuyun asked, displeased.

"Aren't you here to train?"

"And if I directly ordered the village's slaughter, what would you think of us?"

Xiao Yunfang retorted.

Ye Liuyun thought and felt it also made sense.

If Xiao Yunfang directly ordered the village's slaughter, they would indeed likely blame her for indiscriminately killing innocents.

It's just a pity that a few martial cultivators died in vain.

Ye Liuyun also went to check Lei Ming and the others' injuries.

Fortunately, I had them cultivate the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra earlier; the toxins have now been refined into poison source and absorbed, causing no serious issue.

Lei Ming was feeling very down.

A little girl who had just been happily playing suddenly changed expression and tried to kill her, leaving her somewhat unable to accept it.

Ye Liuyun stroked her hair and held her in his arms to comfort her.

"It's fine! They're no longer human—don't take it to heart!"

Man Shu also, still frightened, clung to Ye Liuyun's arm and leaned on his shoulder.

Just then the old woman and several village women were talking when suddenly their faces turned ferocious, they opened their mouths to bite her, which really startled her.

"You all just get used to it slowly! This border region is actually extremely dangerous—nobody can be trusted!"

Ye Liuyun also reminded them.

This action made Xiao Yunfang see that Ye Liuyun's conduct was improper, embracing left and right.

The goodwill that had just been built up was again completely gone.

Many female soldiers were jealous beyond measure.

The male soldiers could only envy.

Afterwards, things went much more smoothly for them.

The three thousand Imperial Guard cleared the path ahead, basically slaughtering anyone who obstructed them, no matter how many, without needing to distinguish.

Pei Yong and the others also gradually woke from unconsciousness, grateful to have saved their lives.

After just a few days, Ye Liuyun and company noticed that ahead, normal people were also increasing in number.

Fighting frequently broke out everywhere, but the corpses were always collected by the victorious side.

In such places, corpses are even more valuable.

Soon, Ye Liuyun and company saw the first city.

The city walls were lined with soldiers, all on high alert, staring at them.

However, these soldiers weren't wearing uniform uniforms, and it was impossible to tell which side they belonged to.

Xiao Yunfang directly ordered the spear squad to detour around the city and continue forward.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and directly applied to Zhang Wencai to leave the group for independent action.

"Alright! You all must be extra careful!"

Zhang Wencai would certainly agree to Ye Liuyun's request.

After all, their main purpose in coming was to accompany Ye Liuyun, so they naturally had to let him gain experience freely.

Following the Imperial Guard, Ye Liuyun hardly ever got a chance to fight.

The other few martial cultivators also felt it was safer to follow the Imperial Guard, so Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong joined them.

Ye Liuyun left the group, took off his uniform with Lei Ming and the others, and headed straight for that city.

Non-residents must pay ten divine crystals each to enter the city.

The guard at the city gate directly told Ye Liuyun and company.

Moreover, those people's gazes as they sized up Man Shu, Lei Ming and the others also seemed ill-intentioned.

What if we don't have divine crystals?

Ye Liuyun didn't want to just give them divine crystals directly.

Blood pills also work—one blood pill each, feral beasts count too.

The guard said impatiently.

Ye Liuyun immediately produced six of the Blood Slaughter Magic Pills he had obtained earlier, and only then did the guard let them into the city.

The situation inside the city was also not optimistic.

There were many beggars on the street begging from people.

But inside the city there were plenty of taverns, brothels, and merchant guilds.

Ye Liuyun scanned with his divine sense and found that there were still plenty of people in the taverns and merchant guilds.

Suddenly, fighting sounds came from ahead; a martial cultivator was killed in the street, and his storage ring was snatched.

The corpse was then snatched by several beggars.

Moreover, a beggar went up and stripped the shoes off the corpse, putting them on his own feet.

There were also plenty of people on the street, with people constantly moving about.

Some small vendors were also conducting business normally.

Those beggars also had nobody daring to rob or harass some merchants.

Ye Liuyun brought Man Shu and the others, first rushing to the merchant guild to check the prices of goods.

The prices here, however, were ridiculously high.

Ye Liuyun then thought of selling some medicinal pills to this merchant guild, feeling he could earn more divine crystals.

But unexpectedly, their purchase price was absurdly low; when calculated, it was only slightly higher than what he paid for the medicinal ingredients.

At that price, he certainly couldn't sell.

But the chamber of commerce steward turned hostile on the spot.

"After asking back and forth for half a day, you just don't want to sell, do you?"

"Do you think this is some place where you can idle around and come here to amuse yourself?"

The steward said menacingly.

"How?"

"If the price isn't suitable, am I not allowed to refuse to sell?"

Ye Liuyun countered.

"Hmph, I see you don't even have that many pills; you're just here to cause trouble! Guards!"

The steward immediately summoned the guards.

As soon as he shouted, over a dozen second- and third-layer Martial Cultivators surrounded Ye Liuyun and his companions.

"If you can't produce three thousand pills today, don't even think about leaving!"

The steward said arrogantly and unreasonably.

"So this is a black shop!"

Ye Liuyun snorted coldly; he wouldn't be intimidated by these small fry.

Seeing Ye Liuyun unafraid, the steward glanced at the few women beside him, shifted his eyes, and immediately said.

"We're not bullying you either! We're in the right; we can go to the City Lord's mansion and ask the City Lord to arbitrate."

The steward said.

Ye Liuyun gave a cold smile: "Fine! You think I don't dare go with you?"

"Good, you've got guts, let's go!"

The steward also said, let's go, and off they went.

Ye Liuyun and his companions, under the watch of the guards, also rushed together to the City Lord's mansion.

People they met along the way also watched the commotion indifferently, no one speaking.

Some even gloated over his misfortune.

Upon arriving at the City Lord's mansion, Ye Liuyun and his companions also broadened their horizons.

Inside the Grand Hall of the City Lord's mansion, a large banquet table was set, laden with various delicacies and wines, a full table.

A big fat man with a fleshy face sat in the City Lord's seat, surrounded by several scantily clad beauties attending to his eating and drinking.

They had never encountered such a City Lord before, feeling as if they had walked into a bandits' den.

"City Lord, I've brought you a few people! And a few beauties!"

The steward immediately began to fawn.

The fat man glanced at the women beside Ye Liuyun and instantly broke into a grin.

"Haha, not bad! You kid have earned a merit."

Saying that, he shoved aside the woman next to him and waved at Lei Ming and the others: "Beauty, hurry over; I have everything you need for food and drink here!"

"You don't even ask why we came?"

Ye Liuyun spoke up to ask.

"Huh?"

"How come there's still one?"

"Do I need to ask?"

"Hahaha, this whole city belongs to me!"

The City Lord laughed loudly.

"City Lord, this kid might have some goods! He's probably a fat sheep!"

The steward bowed and scraped while reporting.

"Come on, seize their storage spaces; take the men to refine pills, and keep the women for me!"

The City Lord directly gave the order.

"Yes."

A few guards answered in unison and immediately charged forward.
