Chapter 946: with translation of chapter title
Ye Liuyun immediately called a halt to the Magic Vine.
He wanted a powerful Seventh Prince, not a cripple.
"Now we can have a proper talk?" Ye Liuyun asked him with a smile.
The Seventh Prince was panting heavily, obviously just frightened badly.
After a moment, he then asked: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Want to borrow your background for a bit!" Ye Liuyun chuckled: "How about we first sign a Master-Servant Contract?"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun want him to sign a Master-Servant Contract, the Seventh Prince immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Don't even think about it! I'm a prince, how could I possibly sign a Master-Servant Contract with you!"
"Is that so?" Ye Liuyun smiled and reached out to touch the Magic Vine.
The Magic Vine immediately began absorbing his True Essence again.
"Stop quickly, my True Essence..."
Before the Seventh Prince could finish shouting, a Magic Vine shot straight into his mouth, blocking his words.
At the same time, Ye Liuyun also said: "How about this: we sign an equal contract, but you must actively help me expand my sphere of influence, and not scheme against me behind my back! How about it? Is this condition fair?"
Ye Liuyun originally also didn't intend to sign any Master-Servant Contract with him.
The Imperial Family has many talented people; once the Imperial Family finds out, his crime would be great.
But signing an equal contract would be quite normal.
The Seventh Prince immediately nodded repeatedly, his body struggling violently. If the Magic Vine doesn't stop, his realm will drop to the Ninth Layer Mid Stage of Creation.
Ye Liuyun smiled, narrowed his eyes, and leisurely drafted a Divine Soul Contract. Only after he signed it did Ye Liuyun retract the Magic Vine.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince's realm had already fallen to the Ninth Layer Mid Stage of Creation.
Ye Liuyun deliberately gave him a little punishment.
The Seventh Prince was on the verge of tears but had none to shed.
To him, Ye Liuyun was more terrifying than a demon. He had indeed been tormented terribly by Ye Liuyun.
From the Ninth Layer Mid Stage to the peak realm, the gap looks less than one layer, but this is what he spent nearly a year cultivating to achieve.
Moreover, his Storage Ring has now been taken by Ye Liuyun. Without resources, his recovery of cultivation will be even slower.
Ye Liuyun watched the Seventh Prince sitting on the ground, dazed, and secretly laughed.
"If I had known earlier, why bother in the first place!" Ye Liuyun patted his shoulder, comforting him a bit.
After a long while, the Seventh Prince finally sighed: "Alas! It's all my own doing. I underestimated you!"
Ye Liuyun noticed his hostility had faded, and immediately took out the Storage Ring he had just received and threw it to the Seventh Prince.
"I haven't touched a thing. Keep it!"
"You... you don't want any of these?" The Seventh Prince hadn't expected that he not only got his Storage Ring back, but also received a lot more resources.
Ye Liuyun used both soft and hard tactics; this counts as giving a slap and then a sweet date to soothe.
"I also don't want you too weak. Hurry back and cultivate! I'm about to attack Moyu; then I'll need your strength to help me vie for kingship and manage Moyu."
Ye Liuyun said, and also threw him a Transmission Talisman: "Use this to contact me from now on!"
The Seventh Prince now completely lacked princely arrogance, and happily gathered up everything.
Actually, as a prince, he is wealthy, but managing a faction also requires a lot of resources. So his monthly expenses are also large, and the resources he can personally use are not many.
He now also counts as having some gains. So his hostility toward Ye Liuyun is also decreasing.
He looked at Ye Liuyun and asked: "If I really don't agree to you, will you kill me?"
Ye Liuyun didn't directly answer, but calmly said: "The Second Prince was killed by me! The Crown Prince's arm was also torn off by me!"
The meaning of these words is clear; since Ye Liuyun dared to kill the Second Prince, he naturally dares to kill him as well.
The Seventh Prince's heart startled, and he felt fortunate that he had surrendered quickly.
Then he asked again: "Are you going to attack Moyu Yi Cheng?"
"Of course I won't directly attack Yi Cheng! If I did, how could I become king? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you! Then you just need to let your forces give me a push."
Ye Liuyun didn't go into details with him, fearing his unstable nature might cause him to leak things early. But he also reassured him that he wouldn't act recklessly.
"Alright, as long as you don't do anything excessive, I'll help you out!" The Seventh Prince didn't ask further. He knew Ye Liuyun couldn't possibly tell him everything.
But these have nothing to do with him. His Divine Soul Contract with Ye Liuyun is merely to, at critical moments, use his own strength to help Ye Liuyun.
If Ye Liuyun fails to take Moyu, then he would actually be better off.
However, he is now a bit curious. Ye Liuyun going to such lengths to control him—could he really be able to take Moyu?
He looked at Ye Liuyun and suddenly realized he truly couldn't see through this Golden Pupil boy before him.
This boy, since entering the academy, has always been a prominent figure; not only did he gain the qualification to enter the Dragon Abyss Pool, but in the Secret Realm he single-handedly fought a thousand inner-disciples and even slew the Prince Xiao.
Logically speaking, if he could defeat Prince Xiao, he really might be able to take Moyu.
And once Ye Liuyun takes Moyu, if he then gives him a push, Ye Liuyun could truly become a prince with real authority.
By then perhaps he will also be glad that he and Ye Liuyun have an equal contract, whereby they cannot harm each other.
Maybe Ye Liuyun will be able to help him in the future too!
Thinking of this, he actually has some hope that Ye Liuyun can take Moyu.
Ye Liuyun having settled the Seventh Prince, the affairs at the academy are also basically completed.
So he didn't return to the academy, but instead directly mounted a dragon-eagle and returned to Yonglie Island.
His plan to march on Moyu should also be carried out.
After Qin Peng returned, he transmitted information to Ye Liuyun, telling him that Moyu had formed a great alliance to jointly resist Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun doesn't even need to guess; he knows for sure it's Moyu City Lord Huyang Tian stirring it up.
"This is even better; I'll save effort and subdue them one by one!"
Ye Liuyun wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out all these Demon Race members and Demon Cultivators in one go.
The Moyu Alliance had already sent people to keep watch on Yonglie Island.
As soon as Ye Liuyun's Dragon Eagle flew back, it was immediately spotted and the news was sent back.
Over on the Moyu Alliance's side, they had also finished preparing for battle.
Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also detected those nearby Demon Cultivators, but he merely smiled and paid them no heed.
"Marquis, you're back? Recently, many scouts from the Moyu have come near Yonglie Island; they probably already know of your return."
Qin Peng saw the Dragon Eagle and immediately went to meet it.
"It doesn't matter; the more they know, the better!" Ye Liuyun didn't take it to heart, but instead asked Qin Peng about the casualties from their previous battle at the Xiao Royal Mansion.
"Casualties were under a hundred! It can be said we won a complete victory!" Qin Peng exclaimed excitedly.
