Chapter 3250: Unthreatened

The middle-aged man continued to speak slowly to Ye Liuyun: "The Fire Seal Dynasty dispatches troops everywhere to wage war, but in truth it's only to find a technique that can increase True Essence Quality. So you should understand how important that technique is to the dynasty, right?"

The man finished speaking and looked at Ye Liuyun again.

Ye Liuyun muttered inwardly: "What does he mean by telling me this? Does he know I have such a technique?"

So he directly asked the middle-aged man: "Senior, what do you mean by saying these to me?"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and continued to send a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "If anyone possesses such a technique, the Fire Seal Dynasty will spare no expense to obtain it. Resources, soldiers, Martial Cultivators—no matter how much, they will spare nothing!" wap.

Ye Liuyun was startled; he guessed that this person had already suspected he possessed such a technique.

The middle-aged man didn't make Ye Liuyun wait; with a wave of his hand he released several Martial Cultivator strongmen, and also escorted two people—Luo Yu and Demon Wolf. Their True Essence had already been sealed, and they looked at Ye Liuyun with guilt.

Ye Liuyun immediately realized that Luo Yu and Demon Wolf had been discovered by them.

Before he could speak, the middle-aged man continued: "Ye Liuyun, I can disregard everything you've done before. As long as you are willing to hand over the technique, I can give you ample cultivation resources. You can also take your two friends away.

Your imposed seal may be strong, but it is not unbreakable. If I spend enough time, I will eventually be able to break it."

"Are you the Fire Seal King Jiang Yuantang?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask directly, hearing his tone.

The middle-aged man nodded in acknowledgment and said to Ye Liuyun: "You can't keep that technique! If you don't hand it over, you'll become an enemy of the entire Xing Xi!

It would be better to exchange for some resources and your two friends; we'd all be happy, wouldn't it?"

"Indeed a Fire Seal King! It seems he values this technique greatly! I reckon if I don't agree, I won't be able to leave easily, let alone rescue anyone."

Ye Liuyun didn't think further and immediately replied to Jiang Yuantang: "Send those two over; I'll check whether their Sea of Consciousness is being controlled!"

Jiang Yuantang also felt that, having personally intervened, emphasizing the technique's importance and offering decent conditions, Ye

Liuyun had no reason to refuse.

So he immediately ordered them to release Luo Yu and Demon Wolf, returned their Storage Rings, and unsealed their True Essence.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense scanned the surroundings; although no strong figures were detected, the very Fire Seal King had personally intervened, so surely more than the few Martial Cultivators with him were involved. Perhaps his Space World also harbors many strong ones.

Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, having already notified everyone inside the Space World, ready to act.

He still didn't want to use the teleportation Black Tower in front of the Fire Seal King. So perhaps

After Luo Yu and the Demon Wolf arrived at Ye Liuyun's place, Ye Liuyun also directly released his Soul, surged into their Sea of Consciousness, confirming that the two of them were indeed not being controlled by anyone, and he felt considerably reassured.

After Luo Yu and Demon Wolf arrived at Ye Liuyun's side, Ye Liuyun directly released his Soul, surged into their Sea of Consciousness, confirmed that the two were indeed not being controlled, and felt much relieved.

"After I sent you a Transmission Voice, during the transfer we were discovered by their strong ones, who intercepted us. Then they found our True Essence differed from others, so they captured us and performed a Soul Search.

Upon learning it involved you, they immediately came here with us. However, they currently have no way to break the seal within the technique."

Luo Yu's Soul hurriedly explained to Ye Liuyun, letting him understand the situation.

As for how Ye Liuyun would handle that technique, she wasn't very concerned. Ye Liuyun possessed a teleportation artifact, yet didn't flee directly; instead he chose to rescue them first, and she was already deeply grateful.

"A battle with the Fire Seal Dynasty may break out soon; the fight will likely be very dangerous. Do you want to stay outside, or enter my Space World?" Ye Liuyun asked her directly.

"You don't intend to accept the Fire Seal King's proposal? You want to strike the Fire Seal King?" Luo Yu hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to

"His suggestion is actually good, but I don't like being threatened! Even if we negotiate, it must be fair, not using you as hostages! Moreover, I intend to hand over the technique, and give it to the prominent Martial Cultivators, not just to him alone. I also require assurance that I can leave safely."

Ye Liuyun said to her, and after confirming Luo Yu's Soul was fine, immediately withdrew from Luo Yu's Sea of Consciousness.

Meanwhile, Luo Yu was in shock, unsure whether to enter Ye Liuyun's

Space World, and also uncertain if Ye Liuyun could leave safely.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun didn't force her further. He had already done everything he needed to; the rest was up to Luo Yu to decide. After all, he was still far from Jiang Yuantang and his subordinates, with plenty of time for Luo Yu to make a decision.

"I don't like being threatened, and even if I hand over the technique, I must ensure my complete safety," Ye Liuyun said loudly to Jiang Yuantang.

From afar, Jiang Yuantang heard this and frowned, saying with great displeasure: "I personally stepped forward to explain to you, and first returned the people to you; that should already be enough regard for you! Is it that you must fight me?"

Ye Liuyun sneered: "You have been lofty for too long, and no longer know how to respect others. Actually, if we had discussed this properly, it would have been easy to resolve. Unfortunately, you won't let go of your ego.

Moreover, you overestimate the power you hold. If you fight me, you might not gain any advantage."

Jiang Yuantang, hearing this, let out a cold laugh: "Young man, I hope you won't regret your decision. Since we can't reach an agreement, let's let strength speak first!"

He also knows that if neither side makes a move, they do not understand each other's strength, and therefore cannot negotiate a trade price.

He also knew that without a clash, neither side could gauge the other's strength, nor negotiate a price.

Yet the next moment Jiang Yuantang's figure began to become illusory.

"Careful, he's about to act!" Ye Liuyun shouted, mainly to warn Beast King Black Tortoise.

Then Ye Liuyun felt a slight spatial fluctuation, followed by a boom, and Beast King Black Tortoise and Jiang Yuantang both manifested.

Jiang Yuantang's mouth corner bled, clearly having been ambushed by Beast King Black Tortoise. But Beast King Black Tortoise was hit by Jiang Yuantang's shell blast; its injury was less severe, and it quickly steadied itself, re‑cloaking to strike Jiang Yuantang again.

"Such a distance, such a slight spatial fluctuation!" Ye Liuyun was also amazed by Jiang Yuantang's Spatial Power.

Another boom, Jiang Yuantang was hit again, and his heart was clawed by Beast King Black Tortoise. He also palm‑slapped the beast's shell, sending the beast flying once more.
