Chapter 3942: Do Not Dare to Underestimate
"Stop!"
The Administrator immediately raised his voice to stop it.
But it was already too late; the Spiritual Soul Attack was so fast that the mercenaries' souls had already surged into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.
Yet Ye Liuyun acted as if nothing had happened, completely unaffected, and instead sheathed his blade, ordering the Demon Lion to clean up the battlefield.
The Demon Lion flickered and vanished; everyone only felt their vision blur, and when they looked again, those people's storage rings and corpses had already disappeared.
Just this move by the Demon Lion already made many Martial Cultivators of the Hédào Jìngjiè sigh in inferiority.
Therefore, now that these people look at Ye Liuyun and his companions, they understand that they are deeply hidden and their strength is unfathomable, and they no longer dare to provoke them.
Ye Liuyun single‑handedly and easily eliminated a mercenary corps, causing everyone to look at him with new respect. Even the Administrator instantly became deferential toward Ye Liuyun.
"I am Xiao Wufeng. Ye, the team chief, never shows his true face; it truly opened my eyes!" The sword‑cultivator team chief also stepped forward to greet Ye Liuyun.
"Chief Xiao, you flatter me, pleased to meet you!" Ye Liuyun also restrained his aura, returning to his previously modest demeanor, clasping his fists to greet Xiao Wufeng.
"Chief Ye, I am Leng Qingwu. I have offended you many times before; please don't hold it against you!"
The female chief of the Ghost Mercenary Corps immediately tried to get close to Ye Liuyun. She saw Ye Liuyun as a ruthless person and feared he might bear a grudge against the Barbarian Ox.
"Chief Leng, no need for courtesy! I haven't held the past against you either!"
Ye Liuyun also returned the courtesy. After all, not striking a smiling face is no big deal, so he chose not to pursue it further.
He has already established his authority; henceforth no one dares to underestimate him, and that is enough.
"Ha ha, very well, I wish the three of you a pleasant cooperation!"
The Administrator, seeing the three of them getting along, was pleased. After that, carrying out missions would go much more smoothly.
These three mercenary corps were thus settled, and no other team had the strength to compete with them.
The Administrator immediately ordered the other mercenary corps to be dismissed, and invited the members of these three corps into the Chengzhu Fu banquet hall.
The dining tables were already set; as soon as they sat down, the dishes began to be served.
"The Alliance Leader has arrived!"
A waiter shouted at that moment, and a tall man in a yellow robe, followed by a slender woman in a blue dress, entered the banquet hall; unlike the grand entrances Ye Liuyun had previously seen, with fanfare all around.
Upon entering, he also clasped his fists to greet Ye Liuyun, Xiao Wufeng, and Leng Qingwu.
"Thank you for your hard work, team chiefs! I am the Alliance Leader Fu Liancheng."
When Ye Liuyun heard the name, he couldn't help but laugh: "That name, it's hard not to think of wealth!"
"Alliance Leader Fu!" Ye Liuyun and the others performed the salute together.
"No need for formalities, I too came from a mercenary corps; please be seated," Fu Liancheng showed no airs at all.
After taking his seat, he introduced the woman who had entered with him to everyone.
"This is my younger daughter, Fu Wushuang!"
Fu Wushuang also rose to greet everyone, unashamed: "Wushuang is honored! You all have labored to escort us along the way; I am deeply grateful!"
Fu Wushuang also rose to greet the crowd, not shy at all: "Wushuang is courteous! On this journey you all have labored to escort us, Wushuang is infinitely grateful!"
"Miss Wushuang, no need for such courtesy!" Everyone also greeted her in turn.
"No wonder they're from a mercenary background; this father‑daughter pair have no airs!" Ye Liuyun thought inwardly that the journey would be much easier.
After Fu Wushuang finished speaking and sat down, Fu Liancheng began casual conversation with them.
"I've long heard of the Ghost and Wufeng Mercenary Corps; they're both renowned here. The Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps, however, is my first time hearing of it."
"Chief Ye, you came from the direction of the Demon Race's star system? I heard the Faction and the Demon Race have both had major incidents; do you know about them?"
He didn't beat around the bush; he asked directly.
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, feeling that being so close to the Demon Race meant there must be eyes placed there; if he didn't admit it, it would seem hypocritical.
Moreover, since he asked, he must already know something; otherwise he wouldn't be so direct.
So he answered frankly: "Yes, I passed by there and took the opportunity to slay some evil beings and Demon Race members!"
"Ha ha, Chief Ye, you are truly modest. I heard you crippled both the Faction and the Demon Race, even forcing the Demon Race chieftain to commit suicide on the spot!" Fu Liancheng, seeing Ye Liuyun's admission, directly voiced the information he knew.
"Ha ha, Team Leader Ye Liuyun is truly modest. I have heard that the Faction and the Demon Race were both beaten to a pulp by you, and you even forced the Demon Race Clan Chief to kill himself on the spot!" Fu Liancheng, seeing Ye Liuyun acknowledge it, then directly voiced the information he knew.
Ye Liuyun thought inwardly, outwardly chuckling, neither confirming nor denying.
But Leng Qingwu, Xiao Wufeng, and their teammates were utterly shocked at that moment.
This place is close to the Demon Race; they all understand its strength. They hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to possess such power. If he can duel the Demon Race alone, wiping them out would be even easier.
Fu Wushuang at this moment also sized up Ye Liuyun, very curious about him.
"Chief Ye, with such strength, why are you still taking on missions?" Fu Liancheng didn't continue, just asked Ye Liuyun in a seemingly casual manner.
"Just on the way, and I can earn some travel expenses!" Ye Liuyun had to say. It seemed the other had seen through his true motive.
"Ha ha ha, Young Master Ye, you are truly candid!" Fu Liancheng laughed: "You haven't spent everything here, have you?"
Ye Liuyun laughed along: "We certainly haven't shied away from buying!"
Fu Liancheng didn't believe Ye Liuyun became a mercenary out of lack of money. He preferred to think Ye Liuyun was just passing through with nothing else to do.
Nevertheless, with such a powerhouse present, his daughter's safety could basically be guaranteed.
In fact, since Ye Liuyun's party arrived, he had already sent people to keep watch, fearing Ye Liuyun might cause a ruckus here as he did with the Demon Race. Exit the conversion page and please download the AiDu app for the latest chapter.
But seeing that Ye Liuyun's group only exchanged resources and even spent a lot, showing no intention of acting rashly, he relaxed his mind.
"With Chief Ye present, I feel much more at ease about my daughter's journey. However, the three chiefs should not be careless; the Xingkong nearby has become unsettled, and Void Beasts are showing signs of rampage, having already attacked many Flying Boats!"
He also conveyed the information he had learned to them.
"With Team Leader Ye present, the little lady feels much more at ease on this trip. However, the three team leaders must not be careless; lately the nearby Xingkong has been unsettled, the Void Beasts show signs of rampaging and have already attacked many Flying Boats!"
Fu Liancheng immediately used True Essence to shape a worm-like figure in the air, exactly the kind they had slain on the way here.
"Void Beast?" Ye Liuyun still didn't know what that was.
Fu Liancheng immediately used True Essence to condense in the air the image of an insect, exactly the kind that Ye Liuyun and his companions had slain on the road they came.
「This thing won't be because we killed one of them and is taking revenge on passing ships nearby, right? 」 The clone also immediately sent Ye Liuyun a Transmission Voice.
「It's also possible that we caused it! 」 Ye Liuyun also replied with a sentence, then asked about the properties of this void beast.
Fu Liancheng also briefly introduced: 「This void beast actually rarely takes the initiative to attack humans. However, they seem to be especially interested in metallic things. 」
「Most of the time, they live in the void. Recently, their activity has been relatively frequent. As for the specific situation, I don't know much either, after all, when encountering opponents with strong Spatial Power, they usually detour. 」
