Chapter 2522: Resource Deception
Now the Foreign Tribe has lost many of its strong warriors, and hasn't captured Ye Liuyun yet, so Elder Mu Xi is preparing to fight and negotiate at the same time.
At the same time, it personally leads a squad of Foreign Tribe strongmen, rushing toward the Holy Land Dynasty.
They have already discovered that Ye Liuyun comes from the Holy Land Dynasty; Ye Liuyun was mentioned when Wan Teng was defeated.
So regardless of whether they can reach an agreement with Ye Liuyun, they intend to destroy the Holy Land.
And even if Ye Liuyun trades Mu Sai to them, they will not stop trying to kill Ye Liuyun.
After Ye Liuyun captured the half-beast Corpse Demon Kuailei, he let his clone release everyone, continuing to systematically exterminate the Foreign Tribe here.
Then he deployed a large army to begin the cleanup.
The army, piloting Warships and Hawks, searched the skies for concentrations of Foreign Tribe forces and Corpse Demons; isolated individuals of either were not worth their effort.
When this world collapses, those isolated Foreign Tribe members and Corpse Demons will not survive either.
Each time they first destroy the base where the Foreign Tribe breeds its young, to prevent any reserve forces.
Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, leads his companions to tap into Primordial Power, letting them absorb it first; after the army's sweep ends, he withdraws the Primordial Power and rushes to the next Foreign Tribe outpost.
At the next outpost, as soon as Ye Liuyun's group makes a move, the Foreign Tribe strongmen there immediately begin negotiating with Ye Liuyun.
"What are they negotiating about?"
Ye Liuyun doesn't understand what the Foreign Tribe means.
"We'll trade resources to exchange a person with you."
A Gold-armored Alien Tribe representative in charge of this area tells Ye Liuyun.
The first thing Ye Liuyun thinks of is Mu Sai.
Only Mu Sai has that qualification; everyone else is seen by the Foreign Tribe as merely Lower Class or slaves.
As for that formidable half-beast Corpse Demon Kuailei, it probably doesn't even count as a slave.
So Ye Liuyun immediately communicates with Mu Sai, asking how much it would be worth if exchanged.
"At least worth the Primordial Power of fifty Xingqiu!"
Mu Sai replies.
"That much value?"
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected this fellow to be so valuable.
Then he asks the negotiating Gold-armored Alien Tribe, "Who are you swapping?"
"How many resources are you prepared to offer?"
"We'll trade you a three-eyed gold‑armored Nobility.
We can exchange three Xingqiu of Primordial Power for it."
The Gold-armored Alien Tribe replies.
Ye Liuyun immediately releases Mu Sai, prompting the Gold-armored Alien Tribe to repeat themselves.
"Right, we want to trade for it, using three Xingqiu of Primordial Power as exchange!"
When the Gold-armored Alien Tribe mentions three Primordial Powers, they hesitate, evidently fearing Ye Liuyun's displeasure.
"You only value at three Xingqiu of Primordial Power?"
Ye Liuyun looks at Mu Sai with a mocking tone.
The reason he let Mu Sai out was to let it hear the price and become resentful toward the Foreign Tribe.
"Scam!"
Mu Sai lets out a roar of anger.
It angrily rebukes the opposing Foreign Tribe, "I'm only worth three Xingqiu of Primordial Power?"
"This… Elder Mu Xi told us to say that…" The Gold-armored Alien Tribe clearly fears Mu Sai.
Not only it, but all the opposing Foreign Tribe members tremble all over from its shout.
Even though Mu Sai is now captured by Ye Liuyun and has become his side's person, their innate fear of Mu Sai remains.
And Mu Sai, in a violent temper, fires a Technique straight at the Gold-armored Alien Tribe, killing it instantly.
"Kill them; these negotiators have no sincerity!"
Ye Liuyun says calmly.
As soon as those words fall, the opposing Foreign Tribe remembers that Mu Sai is now Ye Liuyun's slave.
So this group of Foreign Tribe releases their Souls, charging into Mu Sai's Sea of Consciousness, attempting to forcibly rescue Mu Sai.
Consequently, Black Light shoots from Mu Sai's three eyes toward their Souls, erasing them outright.
Seeing the Foreign Tribe corpses crackle and fall to the ground, Ye Liuyun feels sorrow for them.
The Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine show no courtesy, rushing forward to begin siphoning their remaining energy.
Then the clone leads the group to continue clearing the Foreign Tribe.
Ye Liuyun schemes how to trap the Foreign Tribe once more.
Since the Foreign Tribe has considered negotiation, it shows they intend to spend some resources.
Ye Liuyun plans to first swindle the resources, without handing over a person.
He also feels there's no reason to reason with the Foreign Tribe.
So when they attack the next Foreign Tribe outpost, the tribe indeed raises its negotiating chip, directly upping it to fifty Xingqiu of Primordial Power.
However, this time Ye Liuyun does not release Mu Sai, because he doesn't want it to know
"One hundred!"
Ye Liuyun doubles the negotiation price.
"That's too much!"
The Foreign Tribe doesn't make any logical argument, just shouting that Ye Liuyun's demands are too high.
Ye Liuyun also couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with them: "You go ask your superiors; if we can't reach an agreement, I'll just kill you all!"
Those foreign tribes also had no choice but to ask Mu Xi for instructions.
"Agree to him."
"After you exchange Mu Lai back, you must make sure Mu Lai's soul is fine, then open the altar and send Mu Lai back."
"I'll just take the opportunity to go over and wipe them out."
Mu Xi thought she was clever enough and came up with this plan.
"Okay, we agree to you! But we want to send Mu Lai back home immediately; after the transaction, you must open the altar so we can send Mu Lai away."
The foreign tribes demanded of Ye Liuyun.
"Of course."
"I've handed the people over to you, so of course you can send them away!"
Ye Liuyun feigned agreement.
Then the transaction officially began; the foreign tribes, via the Teleportation Array Disc, actually sent over a hundred planets' worth of Primordial Power.
Ye Liuyun was thrilled inside, but he still had to control his expression, acting as if nothing was wrong, claiming he needed to first check whether those Primordial Powers had any issues.
The foreign tribes also worried Ye Liuyun wouldn't keep his word, but Ye Liuyun said he was worried they had implanted evil aura into the crystal balls, so he insisted on checking first.
In the end, the foreign tribes, having no choice, also agreed.
But they all formed a circle, closely monitoring Ye Liuyun.
However, when Ye Liuyun walked into the midst of those crystal balls, they suddenly went back on their word.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Liuyun vanished along with those crystal balls.
He used spatial power to move himself and those crystal balls away, then collected the crystal balls.
"You don't keep your word!"
Those foreign tribes immediately objected and started arguing with Ye Liuyun.
"Tch, talking about trust with you—do you think I'm stupid?"
"You planted evil aura in the crystal balls, thinking I wouldn't notice?"
"It's you who broke trust first!"
Ye Liuyun retorted.
What he said was also not a lie; among the over a hundred energy crystal balls the foreign tribes produced, more than ten had hidden evil aura from the foreign tribes.
This was something they had secretly prepared beforehand, hoping to secretly trip up Ye Liuyun.
Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil detected it.
