Chapter 3784

Ye Liuyun isn't worried about Poison Soul encountering danger. With his realm and strength, ordinary people can't do anything to him. Even if the God King could beat him thanks to luck, he probably wouldn't turn hostile toward him.

Zhan Kong and the Painter have gained a new understanding of Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun's gaze turns toward them, and they immediately avert their eyes.

"Alas, these people… never mind, let's give Wang Tianqi a temporary advantage!" Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, knowing these people aren't as easy to fool as Poison Soul.

Qian Meng and the others were snickering. Having followed Ye Liuyun for a while, they know that if he wants to trap someone, he can trap them to death.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun and his group captured two Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng Martial Cultivators, and no one dared to strike at Ye Liuyun again.

Poison Soul returned quickly and actually brought the resources back. Ye Liuyun's prediction was accurate; Wang Tianqi didn't argue with the tribe member who had been duped and crippled, handed him the resources, and sent him away.

"Thank you, master. Without your reminder, I would have missed so many good resources!" Poison Soul expressed endless gratitude to Ye Liuyun.

"Go cultivate!" Ye Liuyun forced a smile, returning Poison Soul to the Space World and letting him quietly cultivate.

The six Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng Martial Cultivators they captured were all handed to Sun Que; whenever he finds time to forge more Kuailei, Ye Liuyun isn't in a hurry.

The Painter has been studying ancient runes, combining the experiences of Ye Liuyun, Gu Changhong and others, and can now inscribe more powerful Formations with runes. Ye Liuyun assigned him to carve Defense Arrays onto the Kuailei and to produce more talismans.

The Painter discovered that engraving talismans with beast blood onto attribute‑bearing beast skins greatly enhances their power, far better than using Spirit Stones.

So Ye Liuyun let him handle it himself: for beast skins and beast blood unavailable in the Space World, he listed them and had the merchant guild procure them, so they wouldn't have to worry.

Zhan Kong and the other two twin sword cultivators serve as Ye Liuyun's sparring partners, practicing Spatial Power and blade intent with him daily. Inspired by the twin swords, Ye Liuyun also refined his dual‑blade technique.

The Clone Puppet, together with Gu Changhong and others, went to assist Guǐ Sòu. With these strong hands, Guǐ Sòu's progress accelerated dramatically, able to wipe out a major faction in just a few days. The Gu Changhong‑led puppets also gathered abundant cultivation resources.

Ye Liuyun gave the obtained ferocious beast core pills to Shi Yuan and other Monster Beasts, letting them accelerate their realm advancement. During this time, while following Guǐ Sòu, they also obtained many Martial Cultivator core pills and Soul, enough for their cultivation for a while.

Ye Liuyun left some Soul Sealing Pearls for Guǐ Sòu and gave him the ten experimental Skeleton Puppets. He then returned to the planet he had seized earlier, staying in the Eastern Region.

With these ten Hédào Jìngjiè puppets, Guǐ Sòu is like a tiger with added wings, no longer needing Ye Liuyun to waste time joining his plans.

The God King's hunt on Ye Liuyun failed again, with all the experts he summoned wiped out. Yet he also noticed anomalies in the Eastern Region; although he traced the mastermind to a person called Guǐ Sòu, he suspects it can't be separated from Ye Liuyun.

Given the current unfavorable situation, he had no choice but to have Bai Yunmu bring abundant resources to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.

Bai Yunmu dares not strike Ye Liuyun again, but he is still willing to engage in negotiations. In his heart he hopes Ye Liuyun can coexist peacefully with the God King. After all, when war breaks out, it's the ordinary people who suffer.

Ye Liuyun also received Bai Yunmu.

Bai Yunmu opened with a long lecture, urging him to coexist peacefully with the God King, and described the current state of the Demon Beast World, hoping Ye Liuyun could act to ease its pressure.

After listening, Ye Liuyun smiled and retorted, "Do you, the Right Prime Minister, think there's still a chance of reconciliation between me and Wang Tianqi? If you truly hold that view, I doubt how you became Right Prime Minister!"

Wang Tianqi would kill his own son for the throne; could he spare him? Anyway, he doesn't believe it.

Bai Yunmu said awkwardly, "This is merely my expectation. Moreover, it's the God King's instruction to me. I come by the king's command, so I must convey the God King's wishes clearly."

Ye Liuyun understood at once. He said bluntly, "Got it, it's just official hype! Let's get to business. Wang Tianqi sent you here—did he ask you to bring resources, or are you planning to get something for nothing?"

Bai Yunmu was taken aback, not expecting Ye Liuyun to speak so directly.

He then forced a smile, "Young Master Ye is truly quick‑witted; you did bring the resources…"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, cutting him off: "No need to beat around the bush. I didn't kill you last time because I thought you could still pass a message between Wang Tianqi and me; I'm not here to listen to your nonsense."

Leave the resources; you may go. I have nothing to discuss with Wang Tianqi. After taking the resources, I can only guarantee I won't turn hostile with him for now.

As for the Demon Beast World, it's a mess he created himself; he should clean it up. I have no people or troops to send. I certainly won't go, as I can't fight demons while also guarding against your behind‑the‑scenes ambushes.

"……"

Bai Yunmu was speechless. He didn't expect Ye Liuyun to see so clearly and speak so bluntly. Having reached this point, if he kept babbling, Ye Liuyun would probably drive him away outright.

So he placed a Storage Ring on the table and asked Ye Liuyun, "What about the turmoil in the East…"

Ye Liuyun cut him off, replying, "The Eastern affairs have nothing to do with me; it's Wang Tianqi's own trouble, that man bears a grudge against Wang Tianqi. I won't get involved, we won't aid each other."

"A grudge?" Bai Yunmu tried to probe for more information.

"That's your own matter!" Ye Liuyun said no more, gesturing a dismissal and sending him away.

"Very well, I take my leave!" Bai Yunmu could only depart.

Since Ye Liuyun has said the matter doesn't involve him, the investigation of the mastermind's link to the God King becomes Wang Tianqi's issue, and Ye Liuyun is too lazy to tell him.

He actually looks forward to seeing Wang Tianqi's expression when he learns his son has died and been resurrected, and he seeks revenge.

After Bai Yunmu left, he could only report back to the God King while probing for news on Guǐ Sòu. They have only identified the mastermind behind the Eastern chaos as Guǐ Sòu, but know nothing about him.

Although Ye Liuyun hinted that Guǐ Sòu bears a grudge against the God King, many hold such grudges; they would never guess that Guǐ Sòu was once a divine son.

Ye Liuyun indeed no longer got involved in Guǐ Sòu's affairs, quietly cultivating and advancing here.

The God King Wang Tianqi became busy again, dealing with Guǐ Sòu. The East is his last territorial stronghold, and he certainly won't relinquish it easily.
