Chapter 3517: Intimidating the Mercenaries

Cheng Huofeng's explanation caused even more sensation.

All the Mercenaries began to reassess Ye Liuyun and his companions; besides a few women, the only elder was Qiong Qi. Only Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, and Xuanwu seemed to be Mercenaries.

Ye Liuyun also pretended well, but gave off an overly gentle impression, not like a domineering boss.

"Ha ha, Boss Cheng, have you been recruited by someone? You can't be joking with us, can you?" A Martial Cultivator who had previously mocked Cheng Huofeng, accompanied by many Mercenaries, clearly the leader of a large Mercenary Corps.

And since he doesn't regard Cheng Huofeng, his strength is probably comparable.

"Boss, this is Boss Chen of the Mingshe Mercenary Corps!" Cheng Huofeng ignored him and directly introduced him to Ye Liuyun.

"Boss Chen, please look after me in the future!" Ye Liuyun politely bowed his fist to him.

Boss Chen first opened his mouth in surprise, then laughed: "Ha ha, indeed! I really couldn't tell—you're a kid who hasn't even grown full hair, leading a few frail old and sick, what great deeds could you possibly accomplish!"

"Just making a living!" Ye Liuyun didn't mind the Mercenaries' crudeness; everyone in this line works in this style.

After greeting them, he had Cheng Huofeng introduce a few other Mercenary Corps leaders to him.

These people were a bit skeptical, but out of respect for Cheng Huofeng, they also greeted Ye Liuyun.

Then Ye Liuyun asked Cheng Huofeng to see if there were any suitable missions.

"Kid, you bring these women and old men and still want to take on a mission? Hand those women over to me, and then stick with me from now on!" Boss Chen of the Mingshe Mercenary Corps provoked again.

He clearly wanted to test Ye Liuyun's strength. Even if Ye Liuyun had hidden power and killing moves, he wouldn't strike a lethal blow in front of everyone here.

Cheng Huofeng also sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "Master, Chen Qinan is deliberately provoking you! Their Mercenary Corps' strength is about the same as mine before."

He immediately told Ye Liuyun the strength of the Mingshe Mercenary Corps. As for how Ye Liuyun would handle it, he had no right to advise.

"Oh?" Ye Liuyun glanced at Chen Qinan, suddenly laughed, then shouted loudly at Cheng Huofeng: "Come back, we won't take any missions for now; we'll deal with the Mingshe Mercenary Corps later!"

He thought that since there were practice resources delivered to his doorstep, it would be a pity not to use them. Moreover, when they take missions in the future, they need to first build their own reputation.

His words amounted to a public declaration of war against the Mingshe Mercenary Corps. The Mercenaries present had expected to mock Ye Liuyun, but didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

"Yes!" Cheng Huofeng replied, obediently ran back.

"See you tonight!" Ye Liuyun didn't forget etiquette, bowed his hand to Chen Qinan, and left with his people.

Chen Qinan squinted, unsure whether Ye Liuyun truly intended to act or was just speaking theatrically.

"Always at your service!" he also said a formal line. But after Ye Liuyun left, he immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Ye Liuyun's group.

Ye Liuyun didn't leave the city right away; instead, he first went to the Chengyuan Shanghui, exchanging his unused resources for Primordial Power and Crystal Stone.

He gathered a huge amount of resources from two Marquisates, Chengyuan Shanghui, and Qianling Sect, many of which were useless, and exchanged them here.

He brought out so many items that, following the requests of the Refiners and Alchemists in the Space World, he purchased a lot of refining materials and herbs.

Thus the Administrator of the merchant hall immediately treated him as a VIP, granting him a private auction room slot on the spot, inviting him to attend the auction later.

The auction would be held three days later. Fortunately they hadn't taken any missions; otherwise they might have missed the auction.

"That's fine, we'll first go back to the Cave you were in before, settle there, and wait for the auction"

"After the auction, we'll take on missions."

Ye Liuyun immediately decided to wait until after the auction ends.

He called Cheng Huofeng again, and while walking asked him, "Besides the Mingshe Mercenary Corps, are there any other targets we can strike? I want to use them to train my subordinates, loot their resources, and recruit more members. But if they're of good character, don't recommend them to me."..

Cheng Huofeng thought for a moment, then recommended two Mercenary Corps of about ten members each to Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun used a Slave Seal, confirming that the recommended groups had poor reputations and bad character, and immediately agreed.

"Let's go, rest first, and tonight eliminate the Mingshe Mercenary Corps!"

Ye Liuyun said so, and immediately led everyone out of the city.

Not long after leaving the city, Ye Liuyun vanished into the void; when he reappeared, his form was already behind the Mercenary who had been tracking them. He then performed a direct Soul Search, exterminated, and learned the strength of the Mingshe Mercenary Corps.

"Your Huo Hu Mercenary Corps' strength is really comparable!"

After returning, Ye Liuyun only said a line and led the group onward. Yet before he reached the Cave, his Divine Sense far away detected two Martial Cultivators guarding outside the Cave, likely sent to scout.

He didn't know which Mercenary Corps they belonged to, but since they had shown up at his door, he wouldn't be polite.

He immediately released the Monster Beasts again.

"Just like last time, Qiong Qi will take people to guard another exit. Xiong Tianchuan and the Mastiff will help, in case the opponent has a master. Everyone else, follow me!"

After a brief arrangement, Ye Liuyun first used Spatial Power to eliminate the two Mercenaries guarding the cave entrance, and performed a Soul Search to gauge the number of people inside.

"Hei Hu Mercenary Corps, come confirm whether the Huo Hu Mercenary Corps is still present!"

Ye Liuyun informed the others, then led the group into the cave.

He also learned via Soul Search that many Mercenary Corps were curious about the Huo Hu Mercenary Corps. However, many feared a trap here and wouldn't come to investigate, so the group urged the Hei Hu Mercenary Corps to take a look.

The leader of the Hei Hu Mercenary Corps, Jiang Hu, was slightly stronger than Cheng Huofeng personally, but his subordinates' strength was comparable to other Mercenary Corps.

Thus when they met Ye Liuyun's group, they were inevitably annihilated, with no chance to escape.

Ye Liuyun hardly acted himself; he let the Red Trainer drain the Bloodline Power of those Mercenaries. Jiang Hu was directly marked with a Slave Seal and taken into his service.

Ye Liuyun planned to capture a few Mercenary Corps leaders as his subordinates, so that later he wouldn't need to explain anything; just by seeing those he had subjugated, people would know his strength.

These leaders were all cunning individuals with abundant experience, all useful to him. Moreover, only these leaders had reached the Fifth Reign of Taixu, while other Mercenaries were too low-level, so capturing them would be of little use.
