Chapter 2388: Lost Memory
Alright then, I'll go over and take a look!
Ye Liuyun agreed.
He would first meet Qiong Qi via the Teleportation Array, then go there to learn the situation.
"Where is the captive you caught?"
As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived, he first asked Qiong Qi.
"Killed!"
Qiong Qi spread his hands and said.
"Alright!"
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to get detailed information from Qiong Qi.
But he discovered that Qiong Qi wasn't very clear about the island's situation, so he decided to first capture a soldier from the island to learn the details.
Normally, Qiong Qi investigating the situation wouldn't be this vague.
But Ye Liuyun merely thought he was rushing to find resources, so he didn't pay much attention.
"They only come here once every ten days to purchase some things."
"If you insist on waiting for them, you'll have to wait seven or eight days."
"It would be better for us to first scout the situation."
"I've already prepared the Flying Boat; we can go ourselves and have a clear idea."
Qiong Qi advised Ye Liuyun.
"Alright, we'll leave tomorrow; I'll first scout the situation here."
Ye Liuyun also agreed.
He just wanted to first check the situation here; if anything happened, he could use this place as a retreat.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun pulled Qiong Qi around to stroll here.
This is a coastal town; though not large, it has all the necessary facilities.
To the east of the town lies an endless ocean.
"How did you end up coming to such a remote place?"
Ye Liuyun casually asked Ye Liuyun.
"I was just wandering around and ended up here!"
Qiong Qi casually said.
Ye Liuyun didn't mind, and then asked Qiong Qi: "What have you gained recently?"
"What gains?"
"Realm?"
"I've broken through to the Supergod Realm!"
Qiong Qi found his question a bit strange.
Then he began to boast about his realm.
Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun felt a bit strange.
What he obviously meant was why Qiong Qi hadn't recently captured any Martial Cultivators like Formation Masters or Artificers, but Qiong Qi seemed to have completely forgotten about that.
Moreover, what surprised Ye Liuyun even more was that Qiong Qi had broken through to the Supergod Realm, which he already knew.
How could Qiong Qi boast to him at this time!
Ye Liuyun had a vague premonition in his heart; he immediately released his Divine Sense, enveloping the town.
Suddenly, he detected several faint Divine Sense traces; after he probed them, they instantly retracted and vanished.
He immediately realized this was a trap.
"Would Qiong Qi set a trap for me?"
Ye Liuyun felt in his heart that this was absolutely impossible.
"Perhaps he has unspeakable difficulties, deliberately making me suspicious?"
Ye Liuyun secretly thought.
But he observed Qiong Qi's gaze, and Qiong Qi gave him no hint.
If it were Qiong Qi doing it on purpose, he would at least give him a look.
Ye Liuyun remained expressionless, echoing Qiong Qi's topic: "It's still thanks to the Cui Yuan Liquid!"
"Cui Yuan Liquid?"
Qiong Qi first felt surprised, then immediately changed his tone: "It's mainly my own effort, having nothing to do with resources!"
Ye Liuyun smiled, shook his head, as if he didn't want to listen to his boasting, showing no flaw.
But inside he was greatly shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Has this guy lost his memory?"
He could tell that Qiong Qi seemed unaware of what Cui Yuan Liquid is.
Ye Liuyun decided to continue observing Qiong Qi, and they went to the Chamber of Commerce together to have a look.
He also wanted to buy more beast meat, saying it was to barbecue for Qiong Qi.
However, the Chamber of Commerce's Steward told Ye Liuyun that the stock of beast meat inside was not much, saying few people bought it.
Their inventory was only a few dozen.
Ye Liuyun didn't care about the money and bought all those ferocious beasts.
But he thought in his heart, if another 200,000 troops came here to purchase supplies, the beast meat stock couldn't possibly be so low.
After they wandered around for a while, Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and carefully searched for the strong ones in this small town.
He discovered that in the inn and some houses, there were a few especially powerful Martial Cultivators.
According to the realm classification given by Wu Hen, these people should all be at the Heavenly Person Double realm.
He immediately confirmed that this was undoubtedly a trap.
"Let's leave the city and grill some meat; I haven't had any in a long time, perfect to satisfy the craving!"
Ye Liuyun suggested.
"Going to a restaurant to satisfy the craving works too!"
Qiong Qi didn't seem eager to go.
"Is the restaurant's food better than what I grill?"
"Let's go!"
Ye Liuyun waved his hand and dragged Qiong Qi outward.
"How about we leave right away?"
"Barbecue can be eaten anytime; let's go check it out and eat when we get back!"
Qiong Qi, however, suggested departing immediately.
"Why are you in a hurry?"
"Those Mineral Veins won't run away just because they're left there!"
Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi curiously.
"I'm just worried that delay might cause trouble!"
Qiong Qi quickly explained.
"Can underground Mineral Veins disappear in the time it takes to eat a barbecue?"
Ye Liuyun ignored him and directly pulled him out of the city.
His Divine Sense immediately sensed that as soon as they left the city, some faint Divine Senses were trailing them, probing.
However, because these people's strength was great, his Divine Sense would find it difficult to detect them without careful discrimination.
Given Qiong Qi's relationship with him, he didn't believe Qiong Qi would betray him.
But now that a problem arose, he immediately suspected that Qiong Qi was being controlled, or that Qiong Qi was hinting at him through this method.
Thus he needed to further examine Qiong Qi to find the cause of his issue and his true intention.
Ye Liuyun found a spot by the sea, grilling meat while chatting with Qiong Qi.
He asked Qiong Qi, "Is there any Black Kill here?"
"Black Kill?"
Qiong Qi wore a puzzled expression.
"A killer organization!"
Ye Liuyun reminded Qiong Qi.
"How could such a small place possibly have a killer organization!"
Qiong Qi quickly changed the subject.
But Ye Liuyun was too familiar with Qiong Qi; from his eyes, he knew Qiong Qi had not only forgotten Cui Yuan Liquid but also Black Kill.
Qiong Qi couldn't possibly not know that he had already infiltrated the interior of Black Kill.
If Qiong Qi couldn't even remember that, the only explanation was that his memory had been erased.
It was very likely that he was now also under someone else's control.
Then Qiong Qi again initiated casual conversation with Ye Liuyun, talking only about his observations in the Holy Land Dynasty, giving him no chance to bring up past matters.
"Which city did you come here from?"
Ye Liuyun asked casually.
"Holy City."
Qiong Qi replied.
"The Royal City of the Holy Land Dynasty?"
Ye Liuyun feigned curiosity, asking Qiong Qi to tell him about the Royal City.
Qiong Qi gave Ye Liuyun a rough description of the city's situation, beginning to brag about the Martial Cultivators there.
According to Qiong Qi, that place had especially many Martial Cultivators at the Super God Realm, and many soldiers were also Super God Realm strongmen.
Ye Liuyun also pretended surprise, listening to his endless talk.
In fact, among Ye Liuyun's several armies, Super God Realm soldiers already made up the overwhelming majority, but Qiong Qi apparently had forgotten this.
"Their realm is stronger than my master?"
Ye Liuyun deliberately tested Qiong Qi.
His master referred to was Li Yuanlang.
"Of course!"
Qiong Qi said definitively.
"Ah, if we want to negotiate an alliance with the Holy Land Dynasty, it will probably be difficult! I wonder whether they'll help us!"
Ye Liuyun sighed in feigned contemplation.
