Chapter 1963: A Pretend Play Becomes Reality

"Continue the calculation, don't reveal any slip‑ups!"

Ye Liuyun directly activated the Slave Seal to control Chen He.

Chen He, while calculating, said to Ye Liuyun: "Master, although I am the chief overseer of the Chen family on the border battlefield, each time I return to the Chen family I must first check my Soul to confirm it hasn't been controlled.

What you're doing won't work!"

He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun would actually dare to act against him.

But he immediately realized that regretting now would be too late.

Since Ye Liuyun has already made a move, if he fails to achieve his goal, he might promptly eliminate him to silence him.

Therefore he must assist Ye Liuyun, consider all risks clearly, and first ensure his own safety.

"Hmm!"

Ye Liuyun is also contemplating this issue at the moment.

He didn't expect the Chen family to guard against infiltration so meticulously!

But it's not entirely without a way.

Ye Liuyun informed Chen He: "After you go back, immediately find an excuse to request aid from the Chen family and transfer the Chen family's strongest Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator over.

It would be best to bring the Chen family's eldest son as well."

"The Chen family's eldest son mainly handles the family's major clients.

If the business isn't big enough, we can't move him!"

Chen He explained.

"What if it's the largest chain guild in the Southern Region?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"That would be possible! But he would definitely verify it!"

Chen He still thought Ye Liuyun was making it up.

"That's fine; I'll arrange everything. In three days, just go and tell him."

Ye Liuyun said.

"Then in three days I'll contact him again and have him bring that strongest Martial Cultivator as well?"

Chen He asked.

"Sure!"

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"Master, the Administrator I brought also needs to have a Slave Seal placed on him.

Because after I leave and return, an Administrator must check that my Soul hasn't been controlled.

So his cooperation is required!"

Chen He told Ye Liuyun.

"I had overlooked that; your Chen family is indeed cautious!"

Ye Liuyun immediately summoned that Administrator over.

The Administrator, not understanding why, rushed over and was instantly controlled by a clone's Slave Seal.

The guards thought they were about to be briefed and paid no attention at all.

Then they chatted for a while, pretended to finalize some matters, and prepared to take their leave.

Ye Liuyun made no attempt to retain them and sent them straight out of the city.

An outer sect disciple complained to Chen He: "They still haven't returned our Storage Rings!"

"Enough! It's already good that we didn't have to spend money to ransom anyone! You all are hurrying to bring heads to them, and still think"

"it's not shameful enough? Hurry up and get back to cultivation!"

Chen He scolded them, venting the resentment from being enslaved by Ye Liuyun, and took the Administrator and the guards onto a Flying Boat to rush back to the Chen family.

After returning, he and the Administrator first reported upward, each confirming to the other that their Souls were not controlled.

Then the two sat together speculating what Ye Liuyun was actually planning.

But Ye Liuyun could, via the Slave Seal, perceive all of their thoughts.

He sent a Transmission Voice to them: "You two stop guessing wildly.

Your guesses are all wrong! Whatever you think, I can see it crystal clear."

His voice suddenly echoed in their Sea of Consciousness, startling them.

They hadn't expected that even at such a distance, Ye Liuyun could continue to control them.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun also cited several of the things they had thought of along the way as examples.

Including how they might break the control, whether the Chen family would fall into decline because of it, whether they would become the Chen family's criminals, and so on.

"Do whatever you need to do! The Chen family won't fall.

After I finish negotiating cooperation with your eldest son, I will lift your Slave Seals and set you free.

Then I will also explain your situation to him."

Ye Liuyun told them directly.

"Yes, Master!"

The two replied and immediately returned to their respective residences.

They were also shocked; Ye Liuyun truly knew what they were thinking.

So they dared not to think recklessly any longer.

Ye Liuyun also instructed his clone to constantly monitor their thoughts, lest any slip occur.

He then contacted Xuan Yuan Ling, having Xuan Yuan Ling cooperate and provide procurement requirements.

"If the price is right, we could actually procure some mineral resources from them!"

Xuan Yuan Ling said.

Then she told Ye Liuyun the requisition list and the current purchase price, saying: "You can have Lin Luoyi help negotiate the price."

Ye Liuyun, after Xuan Yuan Ling's reminder, also learned from Chen He the Chen family's current selling price for these materials and found there was indeed room for cooperation.

"Fine then!"

Ye Liuyun immediately summoned Lin Luoyi and Wu Qingcheng, having them become familiar with these materials and prices, so that they could act as representatives of the Spirit Cloud Business Association to negotiate the partnership.

Ye Liuyun told them, "We'll stage a fake drama that becomes real! We need to control their eldest son and also genuinely cooperate with them!"

Xuan Yuan Ling also prepared and released news that they would cooperate with the East to procure refining materials.

Ye Liuyun then handed the purchase list to Chen He and asked him to arrange it.

Such a large purchase order was naturally taken seriously by the Chen family, and the eldest son Chen Taihe indeed used his connections to verify the authenticity of the information.

Chen He also reported on the situation of the Death Legion at the border battlefield.

He said Ye Liuyun was too powerful, so to guard against mishaps, he had Chen Taihe bring along the Chen family's Seventh Layer master as well.

Under Chen He's urging, the Chen family's Seventh Layer master also rushed with Chen Taihe to the border battlefield.

At this time, Kong Chenglin of the Kong family sent Ye Liuyun another message: the three hundred Martial Cultivators previously dispatched to Yellow Dragon Ridge had all been killed.

However, it wasn't without gain; they had already pinpointed the key area within the Secret Realm.

This time they wanted Ye Liuyun to send five Fifth Layer and twenty Fourth Realm Martial Cultivators to explore again.

Moreover, this time they would go together with the employer.

"Usually in such cases, the resource location is locked, and after a final dangerous breakthrough, the resources are taken directly!"

However, that final danger is certainly huge.

At least ordinary Martial Cultivators cannot break through!"

Kong Chenglin analyzed to Ye Liuyun.

"What exactly are the resources in Yellow Dragon Ridge?"

Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Kong Chenglin replied, "It is said there are several dragons inside."

However, that was only information relayed midway by the last expedition, saying they discovered a dragon's lair and heard a dragon's roar.

But now everyone is dead, so it cannot be confirmed."

"Hmm, then I'll personally lead people to investigate."

"It happens I'm also very interested in that Yellow Dragon Ridge."

Ye Liuyun said.

It would take the Chen family's eldest son Chen Taihe nearly three months to arrive here, which is just enough time for them to explore.
