Chapter 651

Lei Ming's strike missed, and he did not continue to entangle.

She usually follows Ye Liuyun's commands; this time she acted because she could no longer restrain herself.

Ye Liuyun ignored Shen Siyuan and instead asked Luo Yurou: "Miss Luo, will you go with them?"

Luo Yurou shook her head without hesitation: "I won't go. I don't know them."

"Yu Er!" Shen Siyuan also knew Luo Yurou was still angry with him, so he immediately explained: "What I just did was only a delaying tactic; don't take it to heart! In fact, I never left—I've been waiting far away for a chance to rescue you!"

"Shen Siyuan, you don't need to deceive me anymore. Before, I was foolish and failed to see you clearly! From now on, we each go our own way—just pretend I don't know you!"

Luo Yurou is now also clear-headed, no longer deceived by Shen Siyuan.

"Don't forget! Your Luo family has accepted the betrothal gifts from my Shen family! If you don't marry me, how will your Luo family answer to my Shen family?"

When Shen Siyuan saw that the agreed-upon plan wouldn't work, he directly began threatening.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yurou really began to worry. If she didn't go with Shen Siyuan, her Luo family might indeed face retaliation from the Shen family!

"Do you still want your Luo family to establish a foothold on Langya Island?" Shen Siyuan continued to increase the pressure on Luo Yurou, speaking more blatantly.

Luo Yurou was forced by him to tears again.

"Are you trying to force me to death?" Finally, she asked with tear-filled eyes.

"Hmph, you think you can threaten me with death? I tell you, even if you die! You must die within my Shen family, otherwise I won't let your Luo family off!"

Shen Siyuan also finally revealed his true nature, tearing off his disguise.

"You..." Luo Yurou was left helpless by him. The hand that had been gripping her sword, ready to commit suicide, also loosened.

She was not thinking only for herself, but also for her family.

She never imagined that, having escaped the brigands' clutches, she would fall into another den of iniquity.

She felt this outcome was even more humiliating than falling into the brigands' hands!

In the brigands' grasp, she could still die to make her point clear; but with Shen Siyuan, she didn't even dare to die!

Just as she was about to submit, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Kill them all!"

Her heart jolted; she looked up sharply and saw the Skeleton Puppet already moving to attack.

Ye Liuyun had already swung a blade at one elder. At the same time, his Soul attack struck the elder whom Long Nv was challenging.

Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er were jointly attacking an elder.

Lei Ming, however, spewed a blood-thunder as thick as a water bucket, mixed with icy force, blasting toward Shen Siyuan.

"Ah?" Luo Yurou exclaimed instinctively.

Then several booms of True Essence sounded, and Shen Siyuan was blasted into fragments by Lei Ming, flesh and blood flying.

Lei Ming hated him so much his gums itched, so he struck with full force right away. This blow could not necessarily be blocked even by a Martial Cultivator at the third level of Yin-Yang, let alone a Shen Siyuan at the eighth level of Tiangang.

Of the four elders beside Shen Siyuan, one was directly eliminated by the Skeleton Puppet; one was cleaved in two by Ye Liuyun's blade; another had his Soul absorbed by Ye Liuyun, while his Physical Body was shattered by Long Nv.

The last elder was half-frozen in ice by the combined effort of Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er, after which his Soul was also absorbed by Ye Liuyun.

Wu Qingcheng waved her hand and took back Shen Siyuan's Storage Ring.

Luo Yurou felt a bit dazed. Luo Yurou had not expected Ye Liuyun to act so ruthlessly.

"How are we to explain this to the Shen family? What will become of our Luo family?" For a moment, her mind was a tangled mess, not knowing what to do.

Ye Liuyun directly released several clusters of Golden Crow Holy Fire, completely incinerating the corpses of these people. Only the elemental pellets remained, which he gave to Bai Hu and Shi Yuan.

Then he turned to comfort Luo Yurou: "Now there's no need to worry! Shen Siyuan and those elders were killed by the brigands. Then we wiped out the brigands and rescued you! Understand?"

"Ah?" Luo Yurou had not yet reacted at first.

After a while, she finally came to her senses, repeatedly thanking Ye Liuyun.

This amounts to Ye Liuyun having saved her twice and also lifted the siege on her Luo family!

"No need for formalities—take us to Langya Island!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, not taking this to heart, directly led everyone aboard the flying boat, rushing to Langya Island.

In fact, Ye Liuyun had long since decided to kill Shen Siyuan; he only feared that Luo Yurou might be unwilling to bear it and would intervene.

If that happened, and he forcibly killed Shen Siyuan, it would still cause Luo Yurou to bear a grudge.

Let Luo Yurou see clearly what kind of person Shen Siyuan is; when she reaches despair, Ye Liuyun will also happen to act.

"Want to try this faster flying boat?" Lei Ming produced Shen Siyuan's flying boat.

"Put it away, don't let anyone see it! Otherwise they'll think we killed Shen Siyuan!" Ye Liuyun reminded her.

"Oh! I had actually forgotten about that!"

Lei Ming stuck out his tongue, then handed the flying boat to Wu Qingcheng; she was accustomed to handing over spoils to Wu Qingcheng.

Seeing that she rather liked the flying boat, Wu Qingcheng did not take it: "You keep it yourself, just in case."

"All right, I'll just keep it for now!" Lei Ming stored the flying boat in his Storage Ring.

"Young Master Ye, what are you going to do on Langya Island?" Luo Yurou asked Ye Liuyun.

"We need to go to Zhongyang Dalu; we must buy a map, prepare some supplies, and hire sailors who can handle warships."

Ye Liuyun needed Luo Yurou's help to purchase goods and hire manpower, so he did not hide it from her.

"I can help arrange all of these! Why don't you stay at my house first to rest, and let me take care of the rest?"

Having someone help, Ye Liuyun naturally could not ask for more.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Luo!" Ye Liuyun politely thanked.

Luo Yurou waved her hands repeatedly: "You are my lifesaver—please don't be so polite with me. Helping you with a small favor is nothing worth mentioning!"

Ye Liuyun could also see that Luo Yurou was simple-minded and kind-hearted, so he stopped being polite and began asking about conditions on the island.

In fact, the reason Langya Island is called an island is only relative to the whole Qingxiao Domain; its actual area is also one-third that of Cangyun Continent, so it is not small.

On the island, various powers coexist in a complex, intertwined manner.

The Luo Family where Luo Yurou resides can also be considered a top power on Wolf Fang Island.

However, this border region of theirs lies entirely within the jurisdiction of the Three Origins Sect.

The Shen Family of Thousand Feather Island are the administrators of this region, so their status is naturally much higher than that of the Luo Family.

Within Wolf Fang Island, everything is available, especially the various supplies needed for long-distance voyages.

Commodity trade is also highly developed. Bandits often come here to sell and purchase goods.
