Chapter 3723: Immediate Revenge
Meng Cangxuan looked at his daughter Meng Fei and sighed.
"So this matter stems from our own arrogance. Once the business grew, we began to look down on others."
"But we must not keep making mistakes. You should learn a lesson from this, rather than, like those people, shifting all responsibility onto others; you need your own judgment."
"What revenge is there in such a trivial matter? Even if we forgo the Central Dynasty's business, it wouldn't affect our family."
"Not only is revenge unnecessary, we should instead make amends. Mend the fence after the sheep are lost; even if he harbors no goodwill toward us, he won't pursue us to the death later."
"Oh, child, noted!" Meng Fei replied, recording her father's words and pondering them repeatedly on the road.
Meanwhile, a large chain merchant guild was hosting the Fifth Divine Son; they gathered to assess Ye Liuyun's strength and discuss what kind of experts to enlist against him.
The differing choices of the two guilds sealed their divergent fates.
After Ye Liuyun teleported back to the camp via the Black Tower, he immediately sent the wounded Kuailei to Sun Que for repair.
The injured were all treating their wounds with Life Spring Water. Xuanwu and An Ying, protected by their shells, suffered only minor injuries in the explosion. Qiong Qi, shielded by Ye Liuyun at the time, was unharmed. Hei Hu and Yao Ji, being strong, were only lightly wounded.
Unfortunately, after Zhan Kong was killed, his Soul vanished, and there are no longer any Kuailei with exceptionally strong Spatial Power.
He gathered a great amount of resources in the Demon Beast World and distributed them to the appropriate people. Sun Que's alchemy materials are no longer lacking.
The return of the Magic Vine made everyone quite happy, and they celebrated with a barbecue. After eating and drinking, Ye Liuyun had Lei Ming take the Magic Vine to the Demonman's underground Altar for cultivation.
He also began cultivating to restore his Divine Core. In his battle with the God King, he shot four arrows, which consumed a lot of energy.
He has already informed everyone that they will strike the merchants and the Meng Family. The Li Family has already gathered intelligence on the merchants and the Meng Family; after a two‑day rest they can set out immediately.
At that time, Gu Changhong's metal Physical Body might still be unrepaired, but everyone else is fine. Even without him, the impact is minor; with Clone Puppets present, the merchants and the Meng Family cannot block their assault.
As for the God King, he cannot take revenge. He wishes to kill the God King, but lacks the strength. He cannot afford the cost of a full‑scale armed clash, so he must endure for now and wait for another chance.
He believes the contest with the God King is far from over; this is merely the beginning.
But they must act quickly against the merchants and the Meng Family, lest the two flee beforehand.
They sent people to strike Ye Liuyun, but he didn't mind. After all, he was the one who drove those two guilds out of his territory. What concerns him is that those guilds actually attacked the Li Family.
He cannot tolerate that. The Li Family is loyally bound to him. Even if they didn't harm any important Li figure, in his eyes their nature is already vile.
That's his character: as long as he has power, anyone who dares to scheme against his close ones will be instantly retaliated against.
Moreover, although he now has the materials to forge Kuailei, he still needs the Soul of a high‑realm Martial Cultivator. So this time he will again capture some strong Martial Cultivators and bring them back to Sun Que.
Two days in Ye Liuyun's Space World equals twenty days; everyone recovered fully, even Gu Changhong's arm was repaired.
Sun Que, knowing they were about to go into battle, performed a quick repair with the original materials; after returning, he gave Gu Changhong a better Physical Body.
Ye Liuyun altered his appearance and, via the Teleportation Array, rushed to the Central Dynasty. He also took Ye Tiandao and other women with him. Since there is no war in the army now, Yu Xiaofeng and others leading soldiers suffice. He lets them accompany him out to battle for training, accelerating their advancement.
But before he arrived, Lǐ Chéngfēng sent word that the Meng Family had withdrawn part of their forces and sent many gifts to Ye Liuyun, claiming to apologize.
The gifts were sent as an apology to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun considered the situation and thought, since they fled, he was too lazy to chase them into Xingkong, so he simply gave the Meng Family a face and accepted the gifts.
If the Meng Family truly stops opposing him, when he later expands beyond the domain he could still cooperate with them. But if they betray, he wouldn't mind wiping the Meng Family out completely.
As long as he wishes, even if the Meng Family has extra‑dimensional masters protecting them, he can still achieve it.
However, the additional information Lǐ Chéngfēng gave him about the God King made him wary. The God King's response seems much faster, already beginning to arrange the next plan to deal with him.
But he cannot see the God King's ultimate goal; he can only watch and wait.
As for this strike, only one merchant remains, making the difficulty far less than anticipated.
He rushed to the merchant, completed the reconnaissance, identified several key targets, and assigned tasks to everyone.
"Capture them alive whenever possible; we need to repurpose the waste. But we must never put ourselves in danger," Ye Liuyun instructed before action.
At ten minutes past midnight, Ye Liuyun had finished the setup; after releasing the others, he charged through the main gate, slashing anyone he saw, leaving none.
The merchants indeed prepared. Their sought‑after allies hadn't arrived yet, but there were still many Martial Cultivator experts, especially a few Fifth Stage of Dong Tian strongmen stationed.
Within their territory they also set up several layers of Formation as a precaution.
Thus, when Ye Liuyun rushed in, the merchants' protective Formations all activated. Yet Ye Liuyun ignored the usual tactics, having his companions break the formations with Technique.
Technique can destroy any physical object, and does so thoroughly. Hence the merchants' Formations were nullified instantly before they could take effect.
The clamor of battle alarmed the entire Royal City; Ye Liuyun was too lazy to even set up anti‑recon Formations, and he released fifty puppets above the Third Stage of Dong Tian to join the fight, saving time.
The Clone Puppets mainly handled combat, while Ye Liuyun, with Gu Changhong, Qian Meng, and some Monster Beasts, focused on capture and breaking formations.
Magic Vine also entered the fray. It was his first battle after rejoining the unit, and he was thrilled. After Ye Liuyun let it break the protective array, it used vines to seal the merchants, preventing anyone from escaping.
Then, aside from the few key targets he intended to capture alive, Magic Vine could freely prey on the remaining people.
With Magic Vine's addition, their speed became even faster. No merchant can block Magic Vine now. Even if someone uses a treasure to block one vine, they cannot stop the assault of several vines.
