Chapter 3803: Drawing Pursuit

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for Huo Yuantang to finish speaking, and retorted, "I'm not a person of your dynasty, nor do I belong to your dynasty! I bought this thing, and it's mine now. Do you still intend to snatch it openly?"

"You don't know life and death! Do you think you can take it away?" Huo Yuantang also grew angry and shouted.

"You can try!" Ye Liuyun shot back.

But inwardly he sighed, "I've caused trouble again! This shouldn't be my fault, right?"

Meng Fei, her face anxious, sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "This is troublesome now! We must leave quickly. Having attracted the Inspection Department, even if we manage to escape, they'll dispatch troops to chase us!"

At the same time, she also informed the Dream Family Elder of what had happened here.

Huo Yuantang, seeing Ye Liuyun trying to leave, immediately unleashed a Fifth‑Tier Cave‑Heaven aura, attempting to dominate Ye Liuyun with oppressive pressure.

But Long Nv erupted with dragon qi throughout her body, instantly crushing his oppressive pressure.

"Dare to snatch our stuff, even the Heavenly King himself can't get through!" Lei Ming also swung a fist at Huo Yuantang.

Huo Yuantang immediately realized he was no match for Long Nv and Lei Ming. His subordinates had all gone after the blacksmith and couldn't return for a while.

A true man doesn't linger on a loss; he promptly withdrew his oppressive pressure, watching Ye Liuyun and the others depart without further obstruction, merely using a Transmission Talisman to muster reinforcements.

"Quick, get back to the Flying Boat; we'll leave immediately. The elders will be back soon!" Meng Fei urged Ye Liuyun and the others to depart at once.

She also explained to Ye Liuyun: "This Colonel can't defeat you; they'll soon summon more Martial Cultivators and soldiers from the surroundings."

"That's perfect; someone's giving us a practice fight!" Lei Ming said with a hint of excitement.

Meng Fei could only explain: "I'm afraid they'll implicate our Trade Association. As long as we leave, they won't have concrete evidence, and the Association will be easier to handle."

"Alright, try not to cause trouble for the Trade Association!" Ye Liuyun, not wanting to trouble the Dream Family, cooperated and followed Meng Fei back to the Flying Boat.

The onlookers nearby dared not speak. They had never seen anyone confront the Inspection Department so boldly, and all thought that the Dream Family was now courting a big trouble.

Huo Yuantang didn't follow Ye Liuyun; after they left, he chased after the direction the blacksmith fled. However, the Clone Puppet discovered that the few Martial Cultivators who had previously scouted them were now watching them even more closely.

"They want to capture that blacksmith, why haven't they acted yet?" Lan Ruo Bing asked Ye Liuyun, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun could only guess: "They probably know the blacksmith carries a valuable treasure, but don't know what it is or where it's hidden, so they've been sending people to monitor him. Now that they've identified the treasure as that stone, they acted immediately."

"That stone is a treasure?" Tang Xinyao asked.

"It's a refining‑ore, of very high quality!" Lei Ming answered on Ye Liuyun's behalf; she also has a Golden Pupil and saw the stone's uniqueness.

"Ore?" Meng Fei felt it was unworthy to offend the Inspection Department over a single ore and wanted to persuade Ye Liuyun to hand it over.

"Indeed, it's similar to the meteorite from beyond the heavens I obtained earlier, and its quality even exceeds that of the Repair Heaven Stone." Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"Alright then!" Meng Fei said, abandoning her urge to have Ye Liuyun surrender the ore. Since its quality even exceeds that of the Repair Heaven Stone, it truly is a rare treasure, worth fighting for such a celestial‑earthly gem.

"What did you use to purchase this ore?" she asked Ye Liuyun offhand, out of habit of the Trade Association probing prices.

"Two weapons of the Cultivation realm!" Ye Liuyun replied honestly.

Meng Fei's mouth opened wide at his words: "That ore is that valuable?"

"Of course!" Ye Liuyun confirmed.

"Then indeed we can't give it to them, otherwise we'd suffer a huge loss!"

Meng Fei also recovered, immediately urging the Dream Family Elders to return quickly.

Before long, the Dream Family Elders also

hurried back, and without a word mounted the Flying Boat and fled..

After departing Xingqiu, an elder came over to brief Ye Liuyun: "We fear someone will soon intercept and chase us; please, Ye Wang, lead your people to prepare for battle, and we will also act then!"

But we have already left the Xing Xi, so we need not worry and can act freely. As long as they don't catch us, they have nothing to do with our Trade Association.

Ye Liuyun immediately said: "Alright, I've caused you trouble. But you don't need to intervene; I have plenty of power with me, so just focus on piloting the Flying Boat!"

"Very well, Ye Wang, if you need us just speak up! The Clan Chief has already instructed us to ensure Ye Wang's safety!" After the elder expressed this, he stepped back.

Hearing that Ye Liuyun had more power nearby put him at ease; otherwise he truly feared they wouldn't break through.

Ye Liuyun moved the ore into the Space World, not rushing to refine it, lest a large‑scale battle later require his flames and lightning.

Lei Ming, upon hearing that a fight was imminent, became eager to test himself.

"Ruo Bing, Xinyao, return to my Space World so you won't be in danger later," Ye Liuyun first pulled the two of them into the Space World to prevent injury during combat.

As for Meng Fei, she won't fight; the Dream Family Elders protect her, so Ye Liuyun need not worry.

Ye Liuyun released Zhan Kong, Painter, and Poison Soul—the three strongest puppets—to guard and ward off any ambush.

Less than an hour after leaving the Cheng Tian Xing Xi, the Clone's Golden Pupil spotted dozens of Flying Boats and a Warship carrying thirty thousand men pursuing from Cheng Tian Xing Xi.

However, at their speed, they shouldn't be caught. Yet ahead, a band of robbers blocked the path, and the Flying Boat slammed into them.

Helplessly, the Dream Family Elder had to retrieve the Flying Boat early.

"These robbers are here to stall. Kill them all quickly!"

Ye Liuyun ordered everyone at once to release all Metal Puppets within the Space World.

Even the lowest realm of these puppets surpasses the highest realm of those robbers, so slaying them is a breeze.

Zhan Kong, Painter, and Poison Soul all acted. With them, the robbers were eliminated even faster. The Monster Beasts scrambled to strike first, so that they could get a turn to fight; those who were slower found no opponents.

Those robbers didn't even last fifteen minutes before they were wiped out, after which the puppets gathered all the loot back into the Space World, too busy to sort it, and immediately boarded the Flying Boat to continue fleeing.

The Dream Family's Flying Boat was faster than the pursuers behind; as long as it wasn't delayed, those behind couldn't catch up.

Next, they encountered two more robber blockades. Though they didn't delay them much, the pursuers behind got considerably closer.
