Chapter 3943: Departure

We've encountered Void Beasts. They only attack metal. When you meet them, just abandon the flying boat and let them swallow it; they won't hurt people!

Leng Qingwu also added at this time.

I would like to ask everyone for help in killing the Void Beasts! The fee will be calculated separately, because they have recently been destroying nearby vessels far too severely.

If we don't eliminate them, flying boat traffic will be difficult. I've already dispatched several squads to kill them, but all have failed! Fu Liancheng said candidly.

He had served as a mercenary captain, knows that concealing information can kill people, so he didn't even hide his own failure reports.

"Are there many of them? What if we don't encounter them?" Ye Liuyun also raised his own question.

If we encounter them, he is indeed very willing to help and could earn a bit more money.

We don't actually know the exact number. It can freely shift into different starry skies, so it appears to be everywhere. But whether it's a single one or multiple, we can't confirm.

If everyone doesn't encounter them, there's no need to specifically hunt them down; just carry out the original escort mission! Fu Liancheng also said.

"Alright, if we encounter them, we'll strike!" Ye Liuyun also agreed first.

Xiao Wufeng didn't agree; he said he'd decide based on the situation later. They hadn't encountered this thing before, didn't know its strength, so they were cautious.

Leng Qingwu also agreed, saying she would help.

"Then I'll thank everyone first!" Fu Liancheng hurriedly expressed gratitude.

They chatted idly for a while longer, then all left the City Lord's residence.

Before departing, they signed employment contracts with the Administrator, confirmed everything, and agreed to gather here in ten days to set out.

After Ye Liuyun and his group returned, those slated for the mercenary mission stopped idling and all began cultivation to boost their strength.

Ye Liuyun further refined his Thunder Spirit and Yin-Yang Fire Spirit, ensuring they could handle all opponents at the Hédào realm, and allocated the remaining resources to his Clone Puppet for enhancement.

Then he let the Thunder Spirit and Fire Spirit temper materials, upgrading the War God Armor, Demon Slaying Sword, and Sky Devourer in grade. After they absorbed the refinements, he helped the Clone Puppet, Ye Jin Yuan, Ye Tiandao, and Tang Xinyao raise their weapons' grades.

Sun Que also...

He re‑forged the Clone Puppet's physical body, raising it to the Hédào eighth rank.

Ye Liuyun also began calmly refining Primordial Power, while refining his Soul, steadily advancing his realm.

In addition to cultivation, he used the body‑refining elixir and bloodline‑enhancing pills prepared by Lin Luoyi to boost his bloodline and physical body, greatly increasing both aspects.

He advanced his realm without using pills; the lower‑level monster beasts didn't mind, since Lin Luoyi also brewed a detoxifying pill, so they freely ate it and broke through their realms.

Xuanwu broke through to the Ninth Stage of Dong Tian, while Demon Lion broke through to the Eighth Stage of Dong Tian, both consolidating their realms.

Xiao Lanbing encountered many ice‑type resources, and has been quietly cultivating; his realm advanced the fastest, already reaching the Ninth Stage of Dong Tian.

Long Nv, Lei Ming, and others, fearing it would affect combat, did not use pills to breakthrough, but instead used purchased resources to boost other aspects of power.

After the women frantically shopped, they finally began to cultivate peacefully.

After Sun Que finished enhancing the Clone Puppet, he began helping everyone raise the grades of their weapons and treasures.

Other artificers started forging Hédào eighth‑rank puppets, developing higher‑grade armors and treasures, improving firepower combat vehicles and Void Warships. Read the full content on the app.

Lin Luoyi also helped the women develop many body‑refining elixirs and bloodline‑strengthening pills.

The alchemists even forged the Heaven and Earth Pill, which can help everyone boost Heaven and Earth Power.

They also created Void Pills; the half of the Void Beast's flesh left after the last kill wasn't eaten, it was turned into pills.

However, Void Pills are scarce because the materials are rare. Ye Liuyun first gave all the Void Pills to Long Nv, Lei Ming, and the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon and other mercenary participants.

As for the others, they'll have to wait until Ye Liuyun kills more Void Beasts and gathers enough materials.

Hua Shi and Qiong Qi helped produce a large number of talismans. After broadening their horizons here, they gained new insight into formations, making talisman crafting and array deployment effortless.

Formation Masters and artificers collaborated, and the weapons and armors they forged attained higher grades.

Ye Jin Yuan was busy refining the three‑eyed evil artifacts seized from the Faction. He has Ye Liuyun's refining experience; although he lacks a Golden Pupil as a foundation, his own physical body is rather unique, so the refining process encountered no issues.

When the ten days elapsed, Ye Liuyun led the mercenary troupe rushing to the City Lord's residence.

Fu Wushuang, clad in military gear and armor, greeted everyone with a dashing demeanor, showing no hint of a lady's affectation.

Fu Wushuang, clad in military attire and armor, greeted the crowd with a dashing, heroic bearing, showing not the slightest hint of ladylike airs.

Ye Liuyun glanced at her realm; she is a Third Stage of Dong Tian Martial Cultivator. Judging by her aura, she seems to have seen combat, more than just a decorative vase.

Behind Fu Wushuang were ten guards in uniform black armor, personal bodyguards provided by the Alliance. Among them, two are at Hédào second rank, four at Hédào first rank, and four at Dong Tian Ninth rank; all are formidable.

After the small talk, City Lord Fu Liancheng personally came out to see them off.

After leaving the city, they immediately boarded the flying boat and set sail westward.

The flying boat's speed is also the fastest in this star system, not slower than Ye Liuyun's flying boat.

They must cross two star systems; even without any delays, the quickest would take three to four months. Including stops for resupply and battles, it would take at least half a year.. org

Thus, after boarding the flying boat, Ye Liuyun led everyone back into the Cave Heaven World to accelerate cultivation, wasting no time.

The other mercenary members also pressed the time for cultivation, with no idle chatter.

Outside, Fu Wushuang's guards piloted the flying boat, requiring no attention from them.

But their flying boat had only been away from the relay planet for two days when they were all summoned.

"Void Beasts ahead, prepare for battle!" a guard of Fu Wushuang shouted loudly, bringing the flying boat to a halt.

Ye Liuyun caught sight of that Void Beast at a glance. He didn't release everyone, only sent out his Clone Puppet.

"We'll try first; if it doesn't work, you all can act." he instructed the others.

Leng Qingwu ordered her team members to spread out, preparing for battle. Xiao Wufeng protected Fu Wushuang from behind.

Everyone watched Ye Liuyun, wondering if his Spatial Power could match the Void Beast.

Ye Liuyun and his Clone Puppet directly employed Red Pupil Illusion Technique. The Void Beast before them was weaker than the previous one, so the two of them almost instantly controlled it.
