Chapter 3722: Recognizing Mistakes and Amending

"This Ye Liuyun is really something; he actually managed to confront the God King! Now there's some excitement to watch!"

Bai Yunmu had no other choice but to do his best with the tasks the God King assigned, and then watch the commotion from the side.

At this moment, the factions supporting the Third Divine Son and the Fifth Divine Son were also analyzing why the God King suddenly gave the two Divine Sons missions.

However, they don't know the God King well; they just think the God King got embarrassed this time, underestimated Ye Liuyun, and must save face. Moreover, the large army Ye Liuyun commands is something the God King also wants to bring under his banner.

Some even think that after this stop, the God King was provoked by Ye Liuyun, feared trouble for himself, and therefore wants to prearrange the heir.

But regardless, they must carry out the God King's orders, or else they won't reap any reward.

Meanwhile, the two major merchant guilds of Zhongxing Wangchao were each gathering important family members to discuss strategies, yet their final conclusions were vastly different.

The Dream family of Yúnmèng Shānghuì, since the Five Domains Grand Competition began, had been targeting Ye Liuyun. They also thought it was a good chance to eliminate him.

So they spared no manpower or resources, recruited contestants, and finally sent a large number of Martial Cultivators to follow the contestants into the Monster World, but all it yielded were wasted heads.

They had known the God King would act, and thought that even if they couldn't help much, they could weaken the forces of Ye Liuyun's aides and let the God King take him down.

That way they could claim they hadn't acted against Ye Liuyun directly. If Ye Liuyun's allies retaliated, they'd only be striking the royal house.

They simply didn't expect that even the God King's meticulously laid trap failed to catch Ye Liuyun.

The God King has no shortage of top warriors, many tactics, even fortune amplification and a temporal aura, yet none could kill Ye Liuyun, showing they had underestimated his strength.

The Dream family's Grand Elder directly proposed: "We can't strike Ye Liuyun any more! The information we've gathered on Ye Liuyun must have gaps, and there's a lot we haven't collected.

Otherwise Ye Liuyun couldn't be that strong; we even failed to act against the Li Family. From now on we must not act rashly!"

Another Elder objected: "Even if he's stronger, he can't surpass the God King, right? The God King's recent big moves, I'm sure they're tied to dealing with Ye Liuyun.

Since we're already involved and can't dodge it, we might as well do the dynasty a favor and keep sending people to cooperate with the dynasty to eliminate Ye Liuyun."

"Impossible!" the Dream family's Second Elder interjected: "It's precisely because the God King values him that we must not interfere. Anyone the God King values is surely not simple.

Our Dream family isn't large in the Central Dynasty's merchant guild; our focus is developing the Outside Realm market. So this bit of business isn't worth fighting Ye Liuyun over.

From the God King's actions, his next duel with Ye Liuyun will surely be on a grand scale. Moreover, we've already offended Ye Liuyun. To avoid his retaliation, I suggest, like the Li Family, we first relocate some of our key personnel and resources."

After the Second Elder finished, someone expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"What? Our Dream family, are we really afraid of a Ye Liuyun?"

"Exactly, being scared off by a kid is disgraceful. Even bringing in some outside experts to take charge is still better than us fleeing, right?"

"Hasn't the God King already permitted the Fifth Divine Son to seek outside experts? Bringing them in should be fine; after all, it's all about dealing with Ye Liuyun."

The Grand Hall descended into chaos, with only the head of the Dream family, Meng Cangxuan, silently seated on the main seat.

After the crowd argued for a while, they all fell silent, waiting for his decision.

He opened by directly asking everyone: "Ye Liuyun, with only a few people, managed to hold back so many of the God King's subordinates; his strength is evident,

According to his past behavior, the families that offended him were wiped out, right? Who among you can stop him?"

His voice was not loud, yet it left everyone

speechless.

"Then we could invite people from outside!" someone whispered.

Meng Cangxuan continued: "He thought to have the Li Family relocate early, showing he's fully prepared. If he can think of attacking the Li Family, why wouldn't he think of striking the Dream family? If he comes tomorrow, can the people you hired arrive in time?"..

At that point, no one dared to refute Meng Cangxuan.

Seeing no one speak, Meng Cangxuan went on: "We are merchants; we can't spend our days fighting. If other territories won't let us open a merchant guild, it shows we haven't done our part.

The Li Family excels in this, which is why they monopolize business on his lands. We refuse to look at our own faults and instead try to solve everything with force, leading us astray.

When we're wrong we must admit it; we previously underestimated Ye Liuyun. He even dares to oppose the God King, which shows his strength and wit far exceed our understanding.

With such an unknown powerhouse, if we keep opposing him, besides creating a strong enemy, what benefit does it bring us?"

Meng Cangxuan paused, seeing no objections, and said: "Endure for a moment and the winds will calm; step back and the sea will be vast. We've offended people, and no one is particularly strong; what's wrong with laying low?"

"For merchants, is face more important than our business? At worst we can wait for the hype to pass and then return! As long as we have people and resources, we'll have face wherever we go!"

"Moreover, the Central Dynasty's business isn't abundant, and they're currently battling monsters; with Ye Liuyun as a strong opponent, the situation looks very unstable."

"Thus I agree with the Second Elder's suggestion to evacuate key personnel and resources immediately, and have everyone else disperse as much as possible to the accommodations arranged by the merchant guild to lie low."

"Agreed!" the Grand Elder and the Second Elder both echoed in unison.

Several other Elders also agreed, and the decision was finalized. That day, some Elders led important heirs and resources of the Li Family to depart first.

Meng Cangxuan's daughter, Meng Fei, was reluctant to leave and even blamed all this on Ye Liuyun.

"Father, don't worry. I'll quickly strengthen myself and one day kill that Ye Liuyun, clearing our family's past shame."

Meng Cangxuan, hearing this, immediately adopted a serious tone to educate her: "If you share the same thoughts as those Dream disciples, you've greatly disappointed me."

"Father, am I wrong?" Meng Fei asked, not understanding.

"Force is only a means; if you start beating and killing anyone you're dissatisfied with, how can you do business with others later?"

"In fact, the Ye Liuyun affair is because we didn't do our part. For such a long time we never sent anyone to communicate with him; we were arrogant."

"Then we presumptuously sent people to kill Ye Liuyun. If someone repeatedly sent assassins after you, would you calmly wait to be killed?" The recent severe re‑encoding gives us more motivation to update faster; please take a moment to exit reading mode. Thank you.
