Chapter 2466: Sudden Disappearance

Xiao Qiwu is actually most interested in the treasure that can kill the Sword God.

He doesn't know what it is, but he is certain it's a very powerful treasure, and it shouldn't be ordinary equipment that Ye Liuyun equips to the army.

If such ordinary equipment really existed, Ye Liuyun would already be invincible, so why would he need to ally with the Holy Land Dynasty?

So he decides to keep Liuyun confined here, to wear him down slowly, and he isn't afraid that he will refuse.

Moreover, the Holy Land Dynasty is now looking for Ye Liuyun; he definitely won't let the Holy Land Dynasty find Ye Liuyun, and will first take that treasure away.

When Ye Liuyun stepped out of the Grand Hall, a Steward came over, took his identification badge, cancelled his clearance for the Secret Realm of the headquarters, and called it protection of Ye Liuyun, so that he wouldn't be kidnapped out of the headquarters.

Ye Liuyun's mind became clear; he knew Xiao Qiwu was using this excuse to imprison him and force him to hand over the treasure and equipment.

Feeling relieved yet very disappointed, he didn't make a fuss and went straight back to his residence.

"Alas! It seems that no matter how high one's position or how strong one's power, the pursuit of treasures and resources is endless!"

After returning, Ye Liuyun also began to sigh inwardly.

However, he didn't leave in a hurry; instead, he contacted the Black Kill members he controls, as well as Mo Shaowen and others, to see if there were any changes or new news on their side.

Upon learning there was still no news of the Foreign Tribe, he decided to rest here for a while first.

After he returned, You Ming was also summoned to the Grand Hall.

Xiao Qiwu is You Ming's paternal uncle; he not only directly told her Ye Liuyun's identity, but also gave You Ming a mission: to keep an eye on Ye Liuyun and persuade him to comply with his request.

"This matter is very important to the family.

You must capture him at any cost."

Xiao Qiwu told You Ming in a commanding tone.

Fearing she wouldn't understand, Xiao Qiwu added, "Ye Liuyun's strength is decent, and you are at the age where you should marry; following him isn't a loss! So you can be a bit more proactive and stay by his side.

When the time comes, I will publicly support you both and have him give you a formal status!"

You Ming heard this, and although the proposal suited her wishes, presenting it in this situation made her feel very uncomfortable.

But regarding the family's mission, Xiao Qiwu would never give her a chance to refuse.

She also knows that as children of such a great power, they almost have no right to choose.

After leaving the Grand Hall, You Ming went straight to find Ye Liuyun.

Although Xiao Qiwu had already told her Ye Liuyun's identity, she still wanted to hear Ye Liuyun acknowledge it himself.

And Ye Liuyun did not hide it from her.

Xiao Qiwu and the Holy Land Dynasty both know, and gradually more and more people will learn.

You Ming, by virtue of her status, will eventually know, so he has no need to conceal.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun said very directly: "Your uncle has set his sights on my treasure for killing the Sword God, as well as those military equipments.

Now I'm already being kept under house arrest here; I guess if I don't hand them over, he won't let me leave."

Ye Liuyun's frankness made You Ming feel much better inside.

So she directly told Ye Liuyun about Xiao Qiwu's orders to her, but she didn't mention that Xiao Qiwu had asked her to devote herself to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also thought You Ming was fairly decent, not hiding anything from him.

If You Ming hadn't spoken, he would have been defensive toward You Ming.

But now that they've spoken openly, it actually made their interaction a bit easier.

"You tell me this, aren't you afraid your uncle will deal with you?"

Ye Liuyun started chatting idly with her.

"Not that much, I guess!"

You Ming replied casually, then asked Ye Liuyun: "Are those treasures and equipments of yours truly unsellable?

If they could be sold, I think my uncle wouldn't go back on his word."

Ye Liuyun nodded: "I know he won't break his promise.

When I sold Feiyan before, I already saw that.

But the problem is these equipments are different from Feiyan.

Feiyan was equipment I discarded, whereas the treasure and equipment he now wants are things I need to survive.

If I hand all these over, I won't even be able to keep my life, and the army will lose its advantage! Do you think I would hand my own life over to someone else's grasp?"

After his explanation, You Ming could understand.

After all, everyone has a trump card for self-preservation and won't give it away lightly.

"Alright then! Knowing you're like this, I won't force you.

I don't know what your and your uncle's final decision will be, but I hope you can still consider me a friend."

You Ming said finally to Ye Liuyun.

"Of course! Thank you for understanding my decision!"

Ye Liuyun also confirmed.

After the two chatted idly for a while longer, You Ming finally left Ye Liuyun's room.

But as soon as she left, a Steward called her over to ask what she had discussed with Ye Liuyun.

This made You Ming feel pressured.

She didn't tell the truth, only said they talked about the matters of their recent promotion to Steward, and she guessed that Steward wouldn't confront Ye Liuyun.

Moreover, every time she later went to communicate with Ye Liuyun, the Steward would question her.

If she didn't go for a few days, the Steward would still remind her to go talk to Ye Liuyun.

So You Ming was also under great pressure and told Ye Liuyun all these matters.

This made Ye Liuyun feel that staying here would only bring You Ming even greater pressure.

Anyway, wherever he stays, it's the same; he might as well change locations.

That way, Xiao Qiuwu won't have a free day to come and force him again.

Then, after waiting for You Ming to leave, Ye Liuyun simply closed the door and used the transmission Black Tower to arrive at Zhi Yang Royal City.

After arriving here, he used the Thousand Illusion Technique to change his appearance into that of other martial cultivators, took their identity badges, and no longer used the identity badge issued by Black Kill, so as not to be discovered by Black Kill.

Even his Black Kill identification tag, he stored it in the Space World, so that Black Kill could not find his trace.

The steward of Black Kill Headquarters only discovered, after several days when You Ming went to knock on the door to no avail, that Ye Liuyun had suddenly disappeared.

But no matter how they searched, they could no longer find Ye Liuyun.

Regarding this, You Ming was also quite happy, yet felt a bit lost.

He silently wished: 'I hope we won't become enemies in the future!'

After hearing the news, Xiao Qiuwu also interrogated You Ming, found that it was indeed not You Ming who let him go, and could only let it go.

Since Ye Liuyun escaped, that indicates he does not want to hand over the treasure to him.

An elder proposed that Black Kill issue a mission to assassinate Ye Liuyun, but Xiao Qiuwu rejected it.

"Someone who can even kill a Sword God—if we want to kill him, what great loss would we have to suffer?"

"Now he is in the dark, we are in the light; trying to kill him would be asking for trouble!"

Xiao Qiuwu can't do anything about Ye Liuyun now; he can only wait for another chance to communicate with him.

He has Ye Liuyun's transmission talisman, but he knows that no matter what he says now, Ye Liuyun will not believe him, so he can only say it again after a while.
