Chapter 3682: Transaction Negotiations

After discussing with Chen Haisheng, Ye Liuyun thought it was fine; now the Western Region is basically stable, with no forces able to shake their foundation.

So at this point Ye Liuyun flamboyantly brought Chen Yueying back to the Royal Mansion, truly taking on his role as Prince Consort.

At this time, Li Chengfeng of Chengyuan Shānghuì received the news and immediately sent Li Qianjiao over to meet Ye Liuyun. Now that the Western Region has been taken by Ye Liuyun, it is truly an opportunity for them to suppress other merchant guilds and strengthen their own power.

Ye Liuyun did not expect Li Qianjiao to appear again at this moment. Yet Li Qianjiao, upon seeing Ye Liuyun again, didn't know what to say.

Now that Ye Liuyun has eliminated Qianling Valley and the Sun family, even in the Central Region there are few forces daring to provoke Ye Liuyun. Therefore she feels that she didn't believe Ye Liuyun before, and now returning to see him fills her with shame.

Ye Liuyun reacted quickly and immediately guessed that the Li Family might have sent Li Qianjiao back. While outwardly welcoming Li Qianjiao's return, he also had her arrange a meeting with the Li Family's senior members.

"Have the Li Family's senior members come to negotiate with me, and see how the merchant guilds in the Western and Northern Regions should develop."

Ye Liuyun's statement was very clear—it was to directly negotiate a transaction with the Li Family. M..

He couldn't keep helping the Li Family for free. He had already given them the Southern market, which was already quite a favor. If he were to monopolize the Western and Northern businesses as well, the other chain merchant guilds would probably move against him.

Moreover, behind the other merchant guilds are members of the royal family. Without sufficient profit, he wouldn't continue to aid the Li Family.

Before the Li Family arrived, Ye Liuyun received another message from Chen Haisheng: the Central Dynasty was holding the selection round of the Five Regions Grand Competition, and the winning Martial Cultivator would receive very generous rewards.

The prizes included not only high‑end resources like Twin‑born Flowers and Transformation Spirit Fruits, but also a large number of early‑mid stage Cave Heaven Realm weapons and treasures.

The most enticing prize was a cave left by a Ninefold Strong of the Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng, and it is said that the resources stored inside alone could elevate a Martial Cultivator by one major realm.

Moreover, obtaining such a cave would greatly aid a Martial Cultivator in breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm.

"God King Wang Tianqi really is willing to spend a fortune!" Ye Liuyun was tempted by this reward.

"Isn't it just sending people to risk their lives to resist those monsters!" Chen Haisheng, hearing Ye Liuyun's talk about the monsters, immediately guessed the Central Dynasty's intention.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "No problem, sign me up. I want to see what tricks they'll come up with!"

"Aren't you afraid they'll make a move against you?" Chen Haisheng was worried that the royal family might act against Ye Liuyun over the divine son's matter.

"As long as they don't dare act openly, that's fine! With my current strength, I'm sure they won't dare confront me openly, so there's nothing to worry about," Ye Liuyun said casually.

In reality, he had already planned in his mind to let his Clone Puppet fight in his stead; he would not risk his own body. He would merely coordinate the Clone Puppet from the outside.

He also vaguely felt that perhaps the God King was interested in the demons and planets he had subjugated. Regarding the divine son's matter, the God King didn't seem very concerned; otherwise he wouldn't have only sent ordinary Martial Cultivators to investigate.

"Then you should be extra careful. From what I know, the God King is inscrutable and ruthless. If he decides to bear a murderous intent toward you, you'll likely meet a grim fate!" Chen Haisheng still warned Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, I'll be careful!" Ye Liuyun immediately agreed. Though he thought the God King probably wouldn't strike him now, it was still better to be cautious.

Chen Haisheng promptly arranged Ye Liuyun's registration. Because by the time they received the news, it was already a bit late; tomorrow was the preliminary selection day, and any further delay would miss the deadline.

So Ye Liuyun immediately had the Clone Puppet take Black Tiger and Ba Tian to the competition, and also bring Evergreen Vine. Mountain Cat, Flying Swallow, Bear Tianchuan, and Mastiff were also taken away by the Clone Puppet to assist in battle.

The others continued cultivating within Ye Liuyun's Space World, and even Ye Liuyun himself hid among the large army, no longer appearing.

After meeting with the Li Family, Ye Liuyun immediately told Li Qianjiao to relocate to the Central Dynasty, and also brought Li Qianjiao back.

When Li Qianjiao asked about Tang Xinyao and Chen Yueying, Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet claimed that, fearing retaliation from the Central Dynasty and deeming it unsafe for them, they had all stayed within the large army.

Li Qianjiao also sensed that Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet was a bit strange. But because the puppet's Soul was still Ye Liuyun's, she merely thought that having been apart from Ye Liuyun for a long time made it feel somewhat unfamiliar, and paid little attention.

"Since you're joining the Five Regions Grand Competition this time, stay at our Li Family; it'll make communication with our clan easier," Li Qianjiao suggested to Ye Liuyun on the road.

"Let's discuss it first!"

Ye Liuyun didn't rule it out; whether to live at the Li Family depends on the negotiation outcome—if no agreement is reached, staying there would certainly be unsuitable.

If the talks succeed, living at the Li Family would be natural and much safer.

The God King's side had already received news of Ye Liuyun's return, so they specifically reminded Chen Haisheng about the competition. Unexpectedly, they really...

When Right Prime Minister Bai Yunmu reported Ye Liuyun's registration to the God King, the God King calmly ordered the contest to proceed as usual, also instructing that no action be taken against Ye Liuyun for the time being, leaving everything to be decided after the contest.

Bai Yunmu could not discern any particular plan from the God King. He understood the God King's composure and decisiveness, knowing that nothing the God King desires is unattainable.

But Ye Liuyun has now brought the Western and Southern Regions under his control, and the Northern Region is close behind; his power is no longer to be underestimated.

Nevertheless, he said no more idle words, trusting that the God King already knew this. After a brief acknowledgment, he hurried off to arrange the contest.

After arriving at the Central Dynasty, Ye Liuyun first went to the contest registration office to collect his participation Token.

At the same time, Wang Wenli dispatched ten newly trained assassins and five hundred mercenaries to Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet, to guard its safety against assassination and siege.

These individuals were stored in a Martial Cultivator's Storage Ring. Ye Liuyun's Clone Puppet then...

Though this Clone is merely a puppet, its Soul is Ye Liuyun's own, and Ye Liuyun does not want it to make any mistakes.

Then the Clone rushed together with Li Qianjiao straight to the Li Family. Because the Li Family knew the negotiation was of great importance, the family head prepared to meet Ye Liuyun in person to finalize cooperation matters.

Moreover, they had all made the corresponding preparations, drafting the cooperation terms in advance, waiting to see what extent Ye Liuyun can achieve.
