Chapter 3382: Kill the Soul Search

Lei Ming immediately swung her palm, using Heaven and Earth Power to blast the warships blocking the way into the air. She restrained her strength, not shattering those warships outright.

Then everyone returned to the Flying Boat and continued toward the trade planet. Their Flying Boat was fast; in the blink of an eye it vanished from the Leader's sight.

The Leader only then realized it and immediately took out a Transmission Talisman to report upward.

He now also knows these people are certainly very powerful, far surpassing them, and if mishandled could cause a disaster, so he dares not omit the report.

The garrison's Grand Commander on the trade planet, named Ran Haotian, is a scion of a great family from another planet in the Yinhu Xingxi. When the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance subjugated the Ran family, they thought the Ran family's strength was decent, so they gave special favor to this great clan and assigned Ran Haotian to guard the trade planet.

The trade planet is a foothold for Ye Liuyun in the Yinhu Xingxi, and business here is frequent and resources abundant; it can be called the most prosperous planet in Yinhu Xingxi, even more important than the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance's garrison.

The Ran family initially developed honestly, but in recent years many of the Alliance's troops have been sent out to explore, and among the remaining Martial Cultivators, the Ran family has become a major force.

Thus, as the Ran family grew, they placed family scions in control of considerable military authority, often defying Alliance orders, but generally not overstepping, so the Alliance turns a blind eye.

Baro only manages the trade planet and the Business Association, and has no jurisdiction over the garrison. Therefore, Ran Haotian on this trade planet is effectively untouchable.

The Ran family also knows the Business Association makes money and has long coveted the trade sector; in the past two years, taking advantage of the family's growth, they have covertly acted against the trade planet, trying to push Baro out.

They think Ye Liuyun rarely returns and wouldn't bother with such petty matters; to Ye Liuyun, whoever runs the Business Association is the same as long as revenue doesn't drop.

They don't realize Ye Liuyun's Business Association isn't limited to this trade planet; it spans many star systems, and changing its managers isn't something a single clan can dictate.

Especially Baro on this trade planet. This place has become the Spirit Cloud Business Association's largest trade hub; the whole planet was established by Ye Liuyun, so a single family can't dominate it.

Baro is currently powerless against Ran Haotian's blockade. Ran Haotian claims it's for safety, saying it's his responsibility and Baro can't intervene.

Fortunately, there is a Teleportation Array here, so trade across regions isn't heavily affected; Ran Haotian hasn't taken further extreme actions, so he didn't inform Ye Liuyun, instead letting the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance mediate, barely keeping the trade planet running.

Previously Li Yuanlang, Mo Shaowen, Liu Kui and other elders were present, and Ran Haotian had to restrain himself; now those strong ones have gone adventuring or leading troops, so he has become lawless, tightening the blockade on the trade planet.

Although the soldiers know this is Ye Liuyun's territory, they don't understand the situation, assuming it's truly for safety. Moreover, they are all fresh recruits, knowing little about Ye Liuyun, and only follow Ran Haotian's orders.

Ye Liuyun, unaware of the situation, arrived at the trade planet and naturally went straight to Baro. Even if he knew, he wouldn't bother with a Great Clan.

He has already wiped out many star systems; now a Great Clan can't affect any decision Ye Liuyun makes.

Baro, seeing Ye Liuyun return, and with Xuan Yuan Ling and other women managing the Business Association present, was overjoyed. After many years without seeing them, he immediately set aside his tasks, ushered them into the Chengzhu Fu, and arranged a welcome.

This Chengzhu Fu has always been kept for Ye Liuyun; normally it's empty with only a few guards and maidservants, but now it's bustling.

Ye Liuyun and Baro initially just reminisced, marveling at the trade planet's changes.

Today, this trade planet is fully populated; even the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance has a garrison here, and public order is excellent,

Ye Liuyun, seeing the thriving scene, credits Baro for it.

Baro modestly replies that Ye Liuyun's solid foundation is to blame; the construction here needs no his concern, as newcomers maintain it themselves.

While they were chatting, Ye Liuyun noticed the garrison rushing toward them.

So he then discussed the garrison and the planet's blockade with Baro.

"Isn't it that the Ran family got greedy over our profits and wants to seize control?" Baro briefly explained to Ye Liuyun.

Before they could elaborate, Ran Haotian led troops to surround the Chengzhu Fu, giving Baro a deadline to surrender everyone, or else he would send forces to storm the Chengzhu Fu—his arrogance was evident.

In fact, after learning that some women dared to strike his soldiers and that Baro had welcomed them into the Chengzhu Fu, Ran Haotian already guessed Ye Liuyun's party had returned.

However, the soldiers hadn't seen Ye Liuyun; the Leader who previously performed Soul Search didn't describe things clearly, and the matter of Ye Liuyun ordering Zhuque to conduct Soul Search, he didn't dare report.

So Ran Haotian only thought that Xuan Yuan Ling and the other women managing the Business Association had returned.

He believes that even if these women have high realms, they wouldn't dare confront a large army. He can use this chance, claiming Xuan Yuan Ling and others injured soldiers and obstructed military affairs, to force them to relinquish the trade planet.

The Ran family's influence within the Alliance is already substantial; even the Alliance must concede a third to them, so they aren't worried the Alliance will intervene.

The Alliance's stance toward the Ran family indeed won't block them, because they know anyone who provokes Ye Liuyun meets a bad end. Dealing with the Ran family is hard for the Alliance, but easy for Ye Liuyun. So they're waiting to see when Ye Liuyun will finally act against the Ran family.

And Ran Haotian, ignorant yet fearless, actually dared to come straight to trouble Ye Liuyun.

Baro at this moment is also awaiting Ye Liuyun's decision.

But Ye Liuyun, seeing Ran Haotian's arrogant stance, immediately realized his long absence meant some people needed a good beating.

He coldly transmitted outward, "What a nerve! My Chengzhu Fu, and you, a petty Leader, dare to besiege it?"

Lei Ming, kill everyone you bring, wipe out the garrison camp here; from now on this trade planet won't need Alliance troops!

Qiong Qi, perform Soul Search on Ran Haotian and see if the Ran family is getting impatient!

His Transmission Voice was broadcast to the entire planet. Now the whole planet knows Ye Liuyun has returned.
