Chapter 2281: Casting the Bait

Ye Liuyun just proposed first cooperating with a dynasty, and Man Feng realized that Ye Liuyun had started taking action against them.

But faced with the current situation, he truly had no way out.

Because he couldn't influence the opinions of the other two dynasties, and even the orders of his own dynasty he had to obey.

Thus, throughout Ye Liuyun's speech, Man Feng wore a completely grim expression.

But seeing Song Tianyang and Gong Lei listening earnestly with looks of interest, he was also helpless.

Ye Liuyun also saw that Man Feng was very displeased with his proposal, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately demanded that the three parties report to their own dynasties at once.

And the condition Ye Liuyun offered was that they could dispatch troops to cooperate with whichever dynasty agreed first.

Moreover, the soldiers sent need not be just his ten thousand men; they could even send fifty thousand or a hundred thousand, depending on how great the need becomes.

Song Tianyang and Gong Lei immediately reported to their dynasties.

Man Feng originally planned to stall, first consulting the two deputy leaders so that when they reported they wouldn't mislead the dynasties.

However, once the two reported enthusiastically, he dared not delay.

He also feared that the Zhong Yuan Dynasty would blame him for not receiving the information in time.

Ye Liuyun, seeing that the three had reported, left satisfied.

His mission had already been accomplished.

What remains is to see how these dynasties will react.

In fact, his scheme should be apparent to the several dynasties; it is plainly a provocation of the relations among them.

But when profit is at stake, who would care about that much?

Ye Liuyun's ten‑thousand‑strong army is already formidable; with fifty thousand or a hundred thousand, they could instantly realize the dream of unification.

After Ye Liuyun cast the bait, he immediately sent his clone to use the Teleportation Black Tower to return to the Divine Realm.

He had Xuan Yuan Ling gather resources,

ten‑thousand pills and weapons per realm— for the current Spirit Cloud Business Association, that's a breeze; everything can be assembled within a day.

Even the timber Ye Liuyun needed was teleported back from everywhere.

Enough quantity was gathered for Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun returned to the Royal Palace, he also released Administrator Chen.

It was only then that Administrator Chen learned Ye Liuyun was the God King of this world and the leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

Ye Liuyun also took him to tour the Alien Battlefield.

There were countless Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators there; currently not engaged in battle, they were simply cultivating on the spot.

He also found Yao Guangyao, had him lead Administrator Chen on a tour around the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, then took him to the now‑closed Foreign Tribe Trial Ground for a look.

Then he immediately brought him back to Lookout Island, letting him return to report to Chen Xingnan.

Administrator Chen, once back, promptly reported to Chen Xingnan.

When Chen Xingnan heard that Ye Liuyun was actually a God King from another world, Ma Shan also gave feedback within the family and secured the support of the Chen family elders.

Thus, the Chen family began sending people and money to investigate what the Zhong Yuan Dynasty had obtained from the Xingqiu envoy, while also carefully probing the strength of these dynasties.

But they soon received news that Ye Liuyun intended to cooperate with a particular dynasty, and those dynasties are now all playing this little calculation.

Chen Xingnan immediately contacted Ye Liuyun, wanting to see what Ye Liuyun was thinking.

Ye Liuyun reassured him: "It's just a bait to make them scramble.

After I finish exchanging resources with you, I'll immediately lead my troops back.

Our cooperation will continue via Transmission Talisman and Formation Plate.

Once you have fully investigated the information, I will return!"

After learning of Ye Liuyun's reply, the Chen family merely told Chen Xingnan to complete the transaction as soon as possible, then see whether Ye Liuyun truly intends to leave.

They don't trust what Ye Liuyun says, only what they see themselves.

Meanwhile, Man Feng, Song Tianyang, and Gong Lei each came, as per their dynasties' requests, to negotiate with Ye Liuyun privately.

This time, each approached the talks with Ye Liuyun from their own perspective.

But now they are in the probing stage, imposing too many restrictions on Ye Liuyun, so naturally he won't agree.

And Tong Xin and Qiong Qi finally, after several attempts, refined a treasure that can replace the Universal Cauldron.

The new Universal Cauldron not only converts at the same speed, but each conversion yields ten times the energy, enough to sustain Ye Liuyun's continuous fighting.

Next, Tong Xin and Qiong Qi began nonstop forging, first providing Ye Liuyun and his close associates, as well as several commanders in the army, with them.

Then they forged several extra‑large Universal Cauldrons with greater conversion capacity for the soldiers' common use.

Because such items are too important, Ye Liuyun feared soldiers might lose them in battle, so he did not issue them to the troops.

The remaining ore, Tong Xin and Qiong Qi slowly refined, first equipping the Vanguard Squads; each soldier in a Vanguard Squad would receive a small Universal Cauldron capable of converting the energy of two Yuan Dan.

Then they equipped the Half‑Beast Legion according to the Death Legion's ratio; aside from a few commanders, they uniformly received the large Universal Cauldrons.

Soon, the ore resources Ye Liuyun had exchanged last time were completely exhausted.

At this moment, Chen Xingnan had also managed to gather enough resources in advance, and traded with Ye Liuyun using the Teleportation Array.

At first both sides merely experimented, sending resources bit by bit; as mutual trust grew, the amount transferred in a single batch increased.

By the end, the Cui Yuan Liquid was being traded in ten‑drop increments.

With such a massive amount of resources, they spent an entire day transmitting before completing the whole trade.

And once the trade was finished, Ye Liuyun immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to depart.

He personally sought out Man Feng and the others, left them a Transmission Talisman, and then took his leave.

"To your three dynasties, I still do not see any sincere intent to cooperate.

So we will depart first; once you have thought it over, we will get in touch again!"

Man Feng, however, hopes Ye Liuyun will leave.

He always felt that Ye Liuyun would bring turmoil here.

But Song Tianyang and Gong Lei immediately reported to the dynasty, and he could only report as well.

Indeed, none of the three dynasties stopped Ye Liuyun from leaving.

Because Ye Liuyun left them a Transmission Talisman, it shows they can negotiate terms with Ye Liuyun at any time.

Without a dynastic order, no one dared to block Ye Liuyun.

So Ye Liuyun, in front of them, led soldiers onto the Warship and burst out of the void.

Once Ye Liuyun left, Chen Xingnan also believed Ye Liuyun's words, continuing to investigate each dynasty's strength while preparing resources for the next trade with Ye Liuyun.

After leaving Watchtower Island, Ye Liuyun immediately pulled everyone into the Space World, then stored the Warship and used Transmission Voice to the Black Tower, returning to the Divine Realm Royal Palace.

After returning, he distributed Cui Yuan Liquid to everyone, letting them go back to cultivate.

He kept enough resources for the Sharp Knife Unit and the Half‑Beast Legion, and gave the rest to Xuan Yuan Ling.

He also gave Xuan Yuan Ling two drops of Cui Yuan Liquid, letting her also raise her realm.

Then he told Xuan Yuan Ling the quantities of resources needed for the next batch of trades, so she could prepare in advance.
