Chapter 2441: with translation of chapter title

After Ye Liuyun finished arranging the pursuit of Wang De, he first went to check on his clone's injuries.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong, so it was nothing serious, and under the effect of the Life Spring Water it was already recovering quickly.

He returned the Heaven Devouring to his clone, then went to tidy up that Metal Puppet.

That Metal Puppet had already been knocked flat.

Its limbs were all blown off, it lay on the ground struggling, but could only stare wide-eyed, unable to launch an attack.

Ye Liuyun raised the Demon Slaying Sword and, slash after slash, vented his anger on it, chopping off its head completely.

When that Metal Puppet died, a huge white Crystal Stone also fell out of its body.

After Ye Liuyun collected that Crystal Stone, he also gathered up the puppet's scattered limbs and handed them to Tong Xin and Qiong Qi for study.

At least the material of that Metal Puppet can still be used for forging weapons.

Then he mounted the Demon Wolf, taking the wolf pack along as he pursued in the direction Wang De had fled.

This grudge, he will surely repay.

Even if he had to chase to the ends of the earth, he must kill Wang De.

Soon, a group of Martial Cultivators discovered Wang De's trail, and Ye Liuyun immediately had everyone else rush in that direction as well.

After Wang De fled, he also lamented his bad luck.

He had originally wanted to take advantage, but he never expected Ye Liuyun to have so many Martial Cultivators by his side.

He even ended up scolding Ye Liuyun, saying Ye Liuyun deliberately concealed his strength to trick him into taking the bait.

He was cursing away when he suddenly noticed someone chasing up from behind.

"Damn it, not over yet!"

Wang De swore and continued fleeing.

But the three Martial Cultivators chasing him now dared not let him go, pursuing desperately.

Ye Liuyun had already issued a death order: if they lost Wang De, they could directly commit suicide.

The Demon Wolf pack led by Ye Liuyun also charged straight through any obstacles along the way, pursuing Wang De.

Since the number of Demon Wolves was insufficient, he also released the Demon Lions and a large horde of Demon Beasts; the beast horde would smash through anything blocking the road.

After being chased for a while, Wang De could no longer bear it, turned back to fight desperately against the three pursuers; he killed one of them, while his right arm and back were each pierced by a sword and a spear.

At that moment, Liao Yunyang, Ling Hai, and Liu Tianyi and others also took the lead in giving chase.

Wang De, helpless, had no choice but to frantically smash treasures outward to shake off the two attackers' assaults and flee again.

But the remaining eight people, heedless of everything, continued the pursuit.

As Wang De was being chased by them to the point of having no way out, he suddenly encountered a group of Martial Cultivators.

This group of Martial Cultivators numbered fifteen or sixteen, and their strength was also not weak.

The leader of the group was a newly crowned heir of the Holy Land Dynasty, who should now be called Prince Anxi, and Wang De happened to know him.

He hurried over to ask for help.

Wang De was the son of an Elder of the Merchant Guild; seeing only eight people pursuing Wang De, Prince Anxi immediately gave him face, also thinking he might be useful in the future.

Ling Hai and Liu Tianyi were also sons of major powers, both knew Prince Anxi, and since they were not numerically superior, they immediately asked Ye Liuyun what to do.

"Keep an eye on Wang De, wait for me to arrive!"

Ye Liuyun was not far from them at the moment; as long as Ling Hai and the others could keep watch on Wang De and not let him escape, that would be enough.

"Ling Hai, Liu Tianyi, give this Prince some face; regardless of any grudges between you, how about we call it quits?"

Seeing that Ling Hai and the others did not withdraw, Prince Anxi had no choice but to patiently negotiate with Ling Hai.

A Prince with actual authority holds a position actually higher than that of a mere prince.

But before Ling Hai could speak, Wang De chimed in, shouting: "They've already been controlled by a greenhorn kid!"

"Oh?

Is what he's saying really true?"

Prince Anxi also hadn't expected that someone could control Ling Hai and Liu Tianyi.

Prince Anxi immediately added: "If you really are being controlled, I can lend you a hand and save you from this sea of suffering!"

Liu Tianyi's heart was immediately moved.

He certainly did not want to be used as a slave.

But with Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal controlling him, he couldn't speak out.

Ling Hai, however, reacted quickly, knowing that given Ye Liuyun's strength, this Prince Anxi was no match.

So he immediately retorted: "Wang De, are you trying to escape death gone mad?

Dare to frame us as being controlled?

Given our status, who would dare control us?

With so many of us, who could control us?

Clearly it was you who struck our friend from behind, vile and shameless, yet you still dare to play the victim here!"

His series of rhetorical questions were firm and decisive, so even Prince Anxi dared not confirm it.

But Wang De was merely the son of a Merchant Guild Elder; his status paled compared to Liu Tianyi and Ling Hai.

He also did not want to offend the Minister of Punishments and the Grand Army Commander because of Wang De.

He also could not directly perform a Soul Search to check.

After all, Ling Hai, Liu Tianyi and the others were not weak either; if he rashly released his Soul to probe, perhaps he would be the unlucky one.

He also said: "If it's not the case, then give this Prince some face and let Wang De go; I'll have Wang De produce some resources to compensate you, how about that?"

Ling Hai immediately agreed: "Alright, but our friend's life is not something that can be easily brushed off!"

Ling Hai immediately agreed: "Alright, but our friend's life isn't something we can just brush off!"

Ling Hai knew that if he didn't agree, it would easily make Prince Anxi suspicious.

So he decided to use this method to delay time.

Liu Tianyi, however, hoped in his heart that Prince Anxi could rescue him, feeling extremely anxious, yet unable to show any sign.

After Ye Liuyun sensed his thoughts via the slave seal, he immediately threatened him: "Are you looking for death?"

"I can grant you that!"

"Not daring, not daring!"

Liu Tianyi immediately replied via the slave seal, daring not to show the slightest abnormal expression.

Wang De, although certain in his heart that Ling Hai and the others were controlled by Ye Liuyun, had no way to verify it.

He didn't dare to let him send out his soul to investigate.

So seeing Ling Hai agree, he also felt it was just like losing wealth to avoid disaster.

He also didn't want to be hunted by these people again.

Their pursuit was truly a matter of playing with one's life.

"Alright!"

He also agreed and threw a storage ring over to Ling Hai.

Inside the storage ring were tens of billions of divine crystals, plus some weapons and treasures.

However, after receiving it, Ling Hai contemptuously said: "Wang De, you're the son of a Chamber of Commerce Elder, and you dare to take out such a trifling thing?"

"Are you trying to send us off like beggars?"

"Now it's about using money to buy your own life."

"Is your life worth only this much?"

Ling Hai said, and casually threw the storage ring to Liu Tianyi.

Liu Tianyi also used his divine sense to scan the storage ring.

The contents were actually not few, but for Wang De's life, it was clearly insufficient.

Under Ye Liuyun's threat, he had become much more honest, and immediately knew to cooperate with Ling Hai.

"Tch, who are you trying to fool with this little bit of stuff?"

Liu Tianyi also said with a look of contempt.

What he said was also not wrong.

The storage ring contained hardly any high-end resources; to them, these rich scions, this amount of stuff really had no value.
