Chapter 3417: Transfer Target

"Heh heh! You followed me all the way, then struck me with a palm, and you think you can just slip away so easily?" Ye Liuyun let out a cold laugh, expelled Meng Yunshan and Zhao Xiang into the Space World, and trapped Zhao Yuanpei within it.

Zhao Yuanpei frowned, realizing he was in trouble, and immediately revealed his identity.

"What are you doing? I am the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenwu, Zhao Yuanpei!"

"Marquis of Zhenwu?" Following Ye Liuyun's instructions, Meng Yunshan laughed, "Ha ha, what a coincidence. I recently captured a woman named Zhao Yupai, who also claimed to be the Marquis of Zhenwu's daughter!"

"You're Meng Yunshan?" Zhao Yuanpei immediately caught on.

He had previously searched the captive's Sea of Consciousness and found Meng Yunshan's image, but never expected to meet him here; after Zhao's reminder, he recognized that the man was indeed Meng Yunshan.

"Huh? You know me?" Meng Yunshan asked with a grin.

"Where is my sister?" Zhao Yuanpei shouted at Meng Yunshan.

"Ha ha, how would I know? After I was done, I gave her to my subordinates! What, you still want to ransom her back?" Meng Yunshan deliberately teased Zhao Yuanpei.

Ye Liuyun deliberately exposed Meng Yunshan to lure Zhao Yuanpei into using a Transmission Talisman to report to the Marquis of Zhenwu, thereby shifting the target and keeping suspicion away from himself.

"Enough chatter, whoever he is, kill him first!" Ye Liuyun's plan succeeded, and he immediately ordered them to strike.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiang replied and instantly launched an attack at Zhao Yuanpei.

Meng Yunshan also produced his spherical treasure and hurled it at Zhao Yuanpei, while Ye Liuyun tossed a large seal toward Zhao Yuanpei.

Realizing he couldn't match the three, Zhao Yuanpei immediately produced a Defense Artifact to shield himself.

"Void Rank Five—can be broken!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at the Defense Artifact, then calmly kept the large seal falling repeatedly.

"You think you can rebel? I am the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenwu!" Zhao Yuanpei tried to intimidate with his title, but the three ignored him.

"Boom, boom…"

The sounds of attacks kept echoing. Ye Liuyun, fearing the battle's aftershocks would attract more Monster Beasts, struck swiftly. Chen Xiang and Meng Yunshan coordinated with him to break Zhao Yuanpei's defense as quickly as possible.

Zhao Yuanpei, fearing he couldn't hold out, immediately

used a Transmission Talisman to contact Zhao Yu'an.

"You useless thing, didn't you say you'd come back? What are you doing over there?"

Zhao Yu'an roared upon receiving the message. He was far away, and even if he tried to rescue Zhao Yuanpei, he wouldn't make it in time.

After the tirade, he asked Zhao Yuanpei, "Can you hold out for a day or two?"

"There's no way I can last that long; even two hours would be enough!" Zhao Yuanpei finally admitted his fear. Though he had a Trump Card for survival, he certainly couldn't endure a day or two.

"Then try to hold on as long as you can; if you can't, use a Spiritual Soul Attack and give it a shot! I'll send people, but even the fastest will take a day or two to arrive!"

Zhao Yu'an immediately set aside the Transmission Talisman, summoned his guard captain Song Qingyun, and ordered him to take ten Taixu Fifth Rank guards aboard the Marquis's fastest Flying Boat to rush to Zhao Yuanpei's aid.

He doubted any hope; since Meng Yunshan could lay hands on Zhao Yupai, he would certainly not spare Zhao Yuanpei either. Yet he had no other recourse.

Song Qingyun promptly led ten elite guards through a Teleportation Array to Yunxiao City, then boarded a Flying Boat to speed toward the uninhabited planet.

The Marquis's fastest Flying Boat was only Void Rank Six. Even after teleporting and then flying to the uninhabited planet, the quickest speed would still take a day and a half.

A short while later, Zhao Yuanpei's Defense Artifact was breached, forcing him to switch to another Defense Artifact.

Ye Liuyun then wielded a Void Rank Six short sword, whose attack was even stronger; Zhao Yuanpei's newly switched artifact was shattered instantly.

He thought that such a high‑power artifact, no matter how many Defense Artifacts he possessed, couldn't hold out long.

Among them, Ye Liuyun's artifact was the strongest, with the greatest attack power, and he seemed to be the leader of the two. If they could eliminate Ye Liuyun first, they might even seize his artifact and be completely safe.

The key was that Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was still low, making him relatively easy to handle.

Realizing this, he produced another Defense Artifact and unleashed all his Soul into the Sea of Consciousness, charging toward Ye Liuyun's.

"It's over!"

After Ye Liuyun saw Zhao Yuanpei's Soul surge into the Sea of Consciousness, he called out to Chen Xiang and Meng Yunshan and began confiscating Zhao Yuanpei's artifacts.

He gave the Void Rank Five Defense Artifact to Meng Yunshan and the Monster Beast.

Zhao Yuanpei was carrying a surprising amount of resources, including three Primordial Powers from the Taixu World.

Primordial Power from the Taixu World is actually rare here; Zhao Yupai had none, showing how wealthy Zhao Yuanpei was.

He possessed many Taixu Divine Crystals of superior, medium, inferior, and even supreme grades. He also had resources for cultivating Soul and Bloodline Power; Ye Liuyun collected everything, handing the Divine Crystals and Primordial Power to Ye Ling for processing.

"Why is it you?" Zhao Yuanpei's Soul, rushing into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, finally saw Ye Liuyun's true Soul.

"It's me, no doubt! But unfortunately, no one knows anymore!" Ye Liuyun's Soul sneered.

"Ye Liuyun, I am the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenwu..." Zhao Yuanpei resumed his threatening rhetoric.

"Heh heh, the one I'm going to kill is you! Otherwise, why waste so much effort to lure you here? The last time I went to rescue you, my brothers' lives all need you to repay!"

Ye Liuyun cut off his nonsense, explained the reason, then ignored him, pulling him straight into a Soul Refining Cauldron, shattering his Soul and condensing it.

"How dare you kill me? How dare you kill me?" Zhao Yuanpei's Soul, before being annihilated, couldn't believe it was real.

"Fool, what do you think you are! Just a greedy coward; once you leave the Marquis's residence, you're nothing!"

Ye Liuyun muttered an insult, feeling much lighter. He had avenged the grudges against Qin Yuan and Qiang Shi.

Zhao Yuanpei's Flying Boat, which he dared not keep, was given to Meng Yunshan, who refined it for future use.

Ye Liuyun left everything else untouched. Their battle had already alarmed the surrounding Monster Beasts; once they left, the beasts would come to feast on Zhao Yuanpei's corpse. So he didn't care about being discovered by the Marquis's people.

He merely erased all traces of himself, Meng Yunshan, and Chen Xiang, then left the area. Only after his Divine Sense detected several Monster Beasts rushing to claim Zhao Yuanpei's body did he feel at ease to depart.

As for Zhao Yu'an having already sent people, Ye Liuyun learned of it through Soul Search but paid it no mind; he could simply change his appearance later to avoid them.

And if only a few came, he might even turn the tables and kill them, or use Cangyuan Gorge to eliminate them.
