Chapter 790
In the eighth layer of the void, each step taken is far greater than in the sixth layer.
Thus Ye Liuyun ran nonstop for two days. Though it didn't consume much True Essence, it left him utterly exhausted.
"Getting resources isn't easy! This isn't just a little hardship—I've practically run for three whole days!"
Upon seeing Du Yan's Super Warship, Ye Liuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Run! I've razed the two demon clans' battle nests!"
As soon as Ye Liuyun entered the warship, he shouted at Du Yan to hurry and pilot the warship away from here.
"You're no pushover!"
Du Yan startled, stumbled, then immediately activated the warship and fled at full speed, fearing pursuit by the two demon clans.
Everyone else was also shocked by Ye Liuyun's words.
"Handsome guy! I knew I didn't misjudge you! Got any good stuff to share with sis?" Li Sanniang teased Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun then took out a large pile of Magic Crystals and distributed them to everyone.
As the saying goes, whoever sees gets a share; Ye Liuyun couldn't shortchange Du Yan and the others.
Although they couldn't use Magic Crystals, the crystals could likewise serve as the warship's power. The Spirit Stones saved this way could be kept for their own use.
Inside the warship, everyone burst into laughter.
Ye Liuyun also returned to his cabin and began splitting the loot with Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi's haul was also substantial: various resources, treasures, Spirit Stones, Magic Crystals, pills, and medicinal herbs.
Unfortunately, there were no Divine Rank treasures; even Honor Rank ones were rare. They were likely all taken to the battlefield for use.
"Haha, this harvest is truly abundant! These are the wealth of two tribes!"
Ye Liuyun and the others all laughed happily.
The resources they recently gathered are enough to sustain them for a long time—at least a year or two—so they needn't worry about individual resources.
Resources they couldn't use were uniformly sorted into a Storage Ring, ready to be exchanged at a Relay City for usable Spirit Stones and such.
Also, they first let Du Yan and the others pick out what they could use.
At this moment, the Ju Li Tribe and Mo Niu Tribe, the two demon clans, had halted their battlefield fighting. After accusing each other of sneaking attacks on their nests, they each dispatched all personnel to pursue Ye Liuyun and company.
Yet, whether their experts were sprinting through the void or the warship gave chase, they found no trace of Ye Liuyun and the others.
The Super Warship flew at full throttle, a speed no ordinary Martial Cultivator of the Zao Hua Realm could catch.
After more than ten days, Ye Liuyun and company arrived at the Relay City of the Chaotic Demon Realm, ready to trade their resources.
The Relay City of the Chaotic Demon Realm differs from other realms' Relay Cities; battles often break out inside, and the City Lord pays no heed to these demon clans or demon cultivators.
Thus Ye Liuyun did not let the warship enter the city; he only went in with Du Yan, while the others remained aboard the warship.
Even Qiong Qi stayed behind to prevent anyone from scheming against the warship.
Du Yan lived up to his reputation as a bargaining expert; after finding the merchants' guild, he helped Ye Liuyun exchange those resources at a high price.
Ye Liuyun then immediately took out a portion and distributed it to Du Yan and the others.
But when Ye Liuyun and Du Yan left the city and returned to the warship, they discovered the situation had turned awry.
Their warship had already been surrounded by several high-realm demon cultivators.
Upon seeing Ye Liuyun and Du Yan attempting to board the warship, a Zao Hua Realm demon cultivator stepped forward to question them.
"Kid, is this warship yours?"
Ye Liuyun glanced around and saw over ten Fifth and Sixth Layer Zao Hua Realm demon cultivators surrounding them, knowing a head‑on clash would surely fail.
"Not bad, it's mine!" Ye Liuyun replied calmly.
He sensed these demon cultivators had no intention of robbing them, for their eyes lacked that greedy look.
"A good thing is coming! Agree to them!" Qiong Qi suddenly sent a mental transmission to Ye Liuyun.
Before Ye Liuyun returned, Qiong Qi had been communicating with those demon cultivators and understood the situation earlier than Ye Liuyun did.
"We human demon cultivators are gathering together, forming an alliance to attack the demon race's holy sanctuary. Do you want to join us?"
"I see!" Ye Liuyun's thoughts raced. "If we join them, we might seize the chance to raid the demon race again. That's the good thing Qiong Qi spoke of."
"What's in it for us?" Ye Liuyun, though inclined to join, did not readily agree, lest the demon cultivators grow suspicious.
"Bring your warship into our ranks, and we'll supply its power and your cultivation resources—how does that sound?" The demon cultivator, seeing Ye Liuyun had not refused, instantly felt pleased and laid out the terms.
If he could recruit a Super Warship back, his merit would be great!
"So you're eyeing my warship!" Ye Liuyun smiled faintly and pressed: "Can you decide on the cultivation resources you'll give us?"
"Of course!" the demon cultivator affirmed: "Our alliance has rules; otherwise how could we command the vast demon cultivators?"
Then Ye Liuyun proceeded to confirm with that demon cultivator how much resources they could provide.
Once everything was settled, Ye Liuyun was about to follow that demon cultivator when suddenly a Zao Hua Realm aura surged toward him.
"That's the kid who sold me the goods." A voice rang out.
Ye Liuyun turned toward the sound and saw it was the very merchant guild proprietor who had just shouted that line; after speaking, the proprietor immediately blended into the crowd and vanished.
And that Zao Hua Realm aura came from a Sixth Layer Ju Li Tribe demon.
"Did you steal our clan's things?" the Ju Li Tribe said, rather vaguely.
He feared that if word got out that Ye Liuyun had stolen all their clan's resources, other demon cultivators would be tempted; thus he dared not speak the truth.
"So what if it is?"
At this moment Ye Liuyun had already reached an agreement with the surrounding demon cultivators, so he wasn't worried about being unable to leave.
"Everyone, this kid has some grudge with us; please hand him over to me!" the Ju Li Tribe said, clasping fists with several nearby demon cultivators.
"Demon race?"
Several demon cultivators exchanged glances, then silently closed in.
"What do you intend to do?" the Ju Li Tribe asked warily.
He also didn't expect that these demon cultivators would actually be scheming against him.
"What background does this kid have, that so many powerful demon cultivators are protecting him?" He thought secretly, while also calculating how to escape.
Ye Liuyun also guessed he would run. However, he didn't want to bring out a divine artifact to stop him.
So he took out the magic net he had previously captured, preparing to intercept. That magic net is also a revered-rank treasure; stopping the Ju Li Tribe for a moment is still possible.
