Chapter 3544: Shock to the Royal City

At that moment, another Demon Race entangled by Black Panther also realized it was no match, immediately released its Soul, and rushed into Xu Rong's Sea of Consciousness to join forces in destroying Ye Liuyun.

"Hehe, so that's the plan!"

Ye Liuyun, upon seeing his Soul Source under siege, did not panic and immediately released another Soul Source to assist.

The first Soul Source he released instantly transformed into the shape of a Soul Blade, employing Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power; after slashing the two Demon Race Soul Sources with a single strike, it immediately shifted position, making them unable to locate it.

The Soul powers of those two Demon Race were not weak, but their Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power were clearly insufficient; even Xu Rong's Soul could match them evenly.

When his second Soul arrived, they were even less of a match; soon Ye Liuyun and Xu Rong battered them into helplessness, ultimately planting a Slave Seal on them and returning them to their bodies.

Ye Liuyun immediately sealed them into the Space World to prevent his subordinates from harming them.

"Black Panther, go to the perimeter to stop anyone from escaping; Xu Rong, check if anyone else needs assistance!"

Ye Liuyun gave them another order and charged toward a Seventh Layer Demon Cultivator that was battling Mercenaries.

After the Sealing Demon Tablet drained Han Jiang's energy, it immediately pressed a higher‑realm Demon Cultivator down.

Very quickly, the bandits of sixth and seventh Realm within the robber gang were eliminated, and many of the remaining bandits were also slain. When they tried to surrender, Ye Liuyun and his group refused, continuing to kill until all the bandits were eradicated.

The corpses were handed to the Sealing Demon Tablet for absorption; the resources in the Storage Ring and those in the Treasure Vault were all given to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also retrieved from Han Jiang's Space World a seventh‑grade flying knife, a gift the Demon Race had given Han Jiang; it is capable of killing an eighth‑layer Martial Cultivator without trouble.

Ye Liuyun immediately refined it, keeping it to use as a shield when he is among many people. His sixth‑grade short sword has become somewhat insufficient now.

From now on, with a blade and a sword together, even though his realm is low, these two treasures can block attacks from a Seventh Layer Martial Cultivator.

"Is that it? Both robber gangs wiped out within a day?"

Xu Rong and a few newly captured Mercenaries, watching other Monster Beasts and Mercenaries clean the battlefield, still found it unbelievable.

"Indeed, now the Royal City will be shocked! The combat power of the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps is truly overwhelming; those Monster Beasts even managed cross‑level combat!"

They discussed those Monster Beasts. They had seen Monster Beasts before, but never so many at once.

Ye Liuyun controlled the Slave Seals, preventing them from being spread, lest the Monster Beasts be targeted by ulterior motives.

After cleaning the battlefield, Ye Liuyun handed the corpses and heads to Xu Rong, sending him with Cheng Huofeng and other Mercenaries to deliver the report. He then reclaimed the women, Monster Beasts, Kuailei, and his own Mercenaries back into the Space World so they could return to restore their True Essence.

"Rent a Side Courtyard in the city, settle there first, and also visit the merchant guild to see if the Royal City guild has any good resources!" Ye Liuyun instructed Xu Rong and the Mercenaries, then led them back to the Royal City.

After they returned, the Martial Cultivators in the Royal City spread the news: the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps had annihilated two robber gangs in a single day.

Of course, some said it was because Xu Rong and other strong ones were present that they succeeded. Nonetheless, no one now dares to underestimate the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps.

The name of the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps quickly reached the ears of major factions, and even the Royal Mansion had heard of this emerging mercenary group.

Moreover, people were curious about the leader, who was only at Fourth Realm, not knowing who he truly was. Ye Liuyun usually kept a low profile, rarely showing his face; matters were handled by Cheng Huofeng and other Mercenaries, and even Xu Rong was seldom sent out, trying to conceal their strength.

He did go to the merchant guild once. The Administrator of the guild personally received Ye Liuyun, feeling that his current reputation warranted such reception.

He did not expect that Ye Liuyun would purchase many high‑end cultivation resources on the spot. It was clear that Ye Liuyun was not short of money. Moreover, Ye Liuyun also bought a large quantity of Demon Race True Essence pills, all for several Monster Beasts to cultivate.

"I never expected that Leader Ye's Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps is not only strong but also so generous! You truly are our top client!" the Administrator immediately flattered.

"Administrator, no need for such courtesy!" Ye Liuyun replied briefly, then asked him about high‑end cultivation resources like Twin Flowers and Transforming God Fruit.

The Administrator, seeing business, was pleased and immediately suggested, "We don't have those resources on hand now, but if Leader Ye wants them, we can arrange a transfer; the price will be absolutely fair."

"How long will your transfer take?" Ye Liuyun thought that if the time wasn't too long, he could give it a try.

"At least about ten days! Mainly because I'm not sure if those items are in stock. I need to inquire with merchant guilds in other cities; we might have to purchase them on the spot, and after they confirm, ship them over, so the timing is uncertain," the Administrator replied, noting that the exact duration depends on circumstances.

"Alright then! I happen to be going on a mission soon, so timing is fine. I'll pay you a deposit now; once you locate the goods, transfer them to me and keep them reserved, not selling to anyone else!"

Ye Liuyun agreed, paid the deposit according to the guild's rules, and then left the merchant guild.

After returning, he distributed the purchased resources among everyone. He himself did not find any suitable cultivation resources.

Since acquiring the golden egg, he felt buying anything was not worthwhile, so he hoarded more Primordial Power, waiting to use the golden egg for cultivation.

Xu Rong and the other captives originally had no cultivation resources allocated to them, but after Xu Rong obtained a battle sword, his combat power increased significantly and he was quite satisfied. As for cultivation, they could only rely on time to improve gradually. M..

Ye Liuyun also bought some materials and herbs for the alchemy and artifact smiths, asking them to upgrade his Item.

The Item's components are rather special, requiring a metal called green gold; otherwise its attributes would change. Ye Liuyun thus never altered it, not wanting to affect its performance.

Now, having finally encountered such material here, he bought extra and gave it to the smiths to forge. Because of the high quality, the smiths paid special attention to his request, and ultimately forged the Item into an eighth‑grade treasure.

This was somewhat beyond Ye Liuyun's expectations. He had thought converting the Item to a sixth‑ or seventh‑grade treasure would suffice. The recent heavy recoding has given us more motivation and faster updates; please take a moment to exit reading mode. Thank you.
