Chapter 3862: I Gave You Face

Ye Liuyun could see that the girl lacked any experience in handling matters, so he didn't spar with her, but directly said to Murong Xuanxing:

"Dealing with strong opponents and the dynasty's army is no problem for us, but you'd better set a price for each different opponent; right now we don't even know how many enemies you have!"

"If the senior can fully help our Murong Family get through the crisis, we are willing to offer half of this Space Crystal Vein as payment!"

Murong Xuanxing ignored the woman and immediately quoted a Package Price. He was also unclear about exactly what kinds of opponents were involved.

But the woman grew increasingly brazen, shouting, "So many! What will be left for us then? The family head won't agree either."

"Murong Xuanxing, keep the mouths of those around you in check!" Ye Liuyun promptly reminded Murong Xuanxing, lest the woman keep causing trouble.

"Murong Xingya, stop talking! Without anyone's help, can our Murong Clan hold off the dynasty? If the clan is destroyed, can we still keep the vein?" Murong Xuanxing scolded Murong Xingya.

"That's way too much to give!" Murong Xingya, though afraid Murong Xuanxing might lose his temper, muttered softly.

"At least it's better than nothing; a destroyed clan is worse!" Murong Xuanxing roared at her, finally forcing her to shut up.

At that moment, inside the Flying Boat, Ye Liuyun coldly said, "Zhan Kong, if this woman interrupts again, kill her on the spot!"

"Yes!" Zhan Kong, who was outside, answered outright.

Hearing that, Murong Xuanxing realized Ye Liuyun was angry, and immediately scolded Murong Xingya: "Xingya, if you keep interrupting, stop following me; go wherever you like."

Murong Xingya, seeing Murong Xuanxing also angry, pouted in grievance and fell silent. Moreover, Zhan Kong's oppressive aura fell on her, truly frightening her.

At this point, the Kuailei all returned. The soldiers had been driven away, and they were too lazy to give chase.

"Murong Xuanxing, half a vein—can you decide that?"

Ye Liuyun also confirmed with him.

Murong Xuanxing didn't dare to boast.

"I really need to go back and consult my father, but I think he'll agree. Since the senior is already on the way, how about coming with us?"

"Then hop onto the Flying Boat!" Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, saying they should at least go see first.

So the Kuailei led these people onto the Flying Boat.

When they saw Ye Liuyun, they were very surprised. They had expected a senior master, but didn't anticipate Ye Liuyun being so young and not even at the Cave Heaven Realm.

"Was that you speaking to us again just now?" Murong Xingya's boldness rose again.

"Exactly!" Ye Liuyun didn't deny it.

"Brother Xuanxing, can you really trust him? He's even impersonating a senior; don't be fooled by this person!" Murong Xingya pointed at Ye Liuyun, questioning him.

Ye Liuyun's complexion changed as well.

He didn't want to spar with a woman so inexperienced, but she kept provoking him repeatedly; if he remained indifferent, she would likely become even more brazen and might say something else.

"I gave you face, didn't I? Zhan Kong, kill her!"

Zhan Kong immediately acted, lunging toward Murong Xingya.

"Senior, no!" Murong Xuanxing rushed to block Zhan Kong.

The others also positioned themselves in front of Murong Xingya.

But Ye Liuyun said nothing, so Zhan Kong didn't stop; whoever stood in front was smashed with a single punch. These people weren't Zhan Kong's match, and he knocked them down in a few blows.

"Senior, we won't hold a grudge; we're willing to give Crystal Stones to Murong Xingya as atonement," Murong Xuanxing said immediately.

At that moment, Zhan Kong's massive metal hand reached for Murong Xingya's head, frightening her pale.

"Stop!" Ye Liuyun finally shouted to halt.

"Zhan Kong, confiscate the Space Crystals in their hands; if they refuse, kill them!"

After speaking, Ye Liuyun turned his back and returned to his cabin to cultivate.

Zhan Kong then searched all their Storage Rings, snatching the Space Crystals they carried. They dared not resist again.

"You asked for trouble!" Qian Meng snorted from the side, then reminded Murong Xuanxing: "If you need us to rescue your clan, lead the way, or get off the Flying Boat and scram!"

Murong Xuanxing thought it over, realizing that this time Murong Xingya had provoked others first; if these people wanted to rob them, they could have taken everything already.

From that perspective, these people are still principled, not merely greedy for wealth.

So he went to the cockpit to guide the Kuailei, still feeling they should take Ye Liuyun to save the clan.

Although Ye Liuyun's realm wasn't high, his Kuailei were strong. Moreover, the Murong Family currently had no other options, so they could only try.

"Brother Xuanxing…" Murong Xingya still wanted to say they had been robbed by Ye Liuyun, how could they still trust him.

"Shut up!" Murong Xuanxing snapped, not letting her speak. "You still want to cause more trouble? Say another word and you can get off the Flying Boat, don't drag us down!"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was absorbing the Spatial Power within that Space Crystal.

However, he seemed not to sense the Spatial Law Power inside, nor could he convert it into his own Spatial Power.

"Zhan Kong, you come!" Helpless, he could only use Transmission Voice to summon Zhan Kong for inquiry.

"Master, you called for me?" He also handed the freshly gathered Space Crystals to Ye Liuyun.

"How do I use this Space Crystal? After absorbing one piece, I can't seem to feel the law's power within."

"Master, this kind of thing, I've used once before. You can't directly absorb its power; instead, you must merge your Spatial Power into it, assimilating the law's force into your own Spatial Power, then withdraw the Spatial Power."

Speaking, he demonstrated to Ye Liuyun, releasing his own Spatial Power to let it merge into the crystal, then extracting the law's power into his own Spatial Power.

After watching, Ye Liuyun suddenly asked Zhan Kong, "The Murong family possesses such a treasure, yet their Spatial Power isn't very strong; could it be they don't know how to use it?"

He hadn't sensed strong Spatial Power from those people earlier.

"Then they're really stupid!" Zhan Kong thought it unlikely.

"Go ask them; maybe they truly don't know!"

Ye Liuyun felt that without Zhan Kong's hint, he would never have figured out this absorption method. Some things are like a thin sheet of paper—just a touch lets you see through. But without guidance, one might never comprehend them in a lifetime.

"Alright!" Zhan Kong agreed, then stepped back to go ask those Murong people.

Sure enough, Ye Liuyun's guess was correct; they used the same direct absorption as Ye Liuyun had before. Though it can boost Spatial Power, the effect is far inferior to Zhan Kong's method.

"They really are…" Zhan Kong didn't know how to describe it.
