Chapter 992: Challenge the Holy Son

Ye Liuyun summoned Qin Peng and gave him all five thousand sets of armor and various medicinal pills.

"These resources…" Qin Peng looked at these resources, so excited he couldn't speak.

Their resources now have caught up to the strongest legion of the Daxia Dynasty.

"How about it? Are these things enough to raise that elite troop to a higher level?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"Enough! It has to be enough!" Qin Peng also laughed happily, took these resources and went to the camp to deliver them to the soldiers.

Thereafter, Ye Liuyun, together with his clone, Lei Ming, and Long Nv, practiced the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra on the Xuan Kong Stone.

They have just now achieved immunity to all poisons, but they are still far from being able to attack with toxins; they need to strengthen their toxin source cultivation.

Thus, they took out all the bottles and containers that Qiong Qi had dug up.

Inside were pure toxins, perfect for cultivating the toxin source.

The several people only stopped temporarily after they had completely absorbed those toxins.

"I still have a poison pill that attacks the soul!" Ye Liuyun took out the remaining half of the poison pill.

"Refine this into the scepter; then it can be used to poison others' souls!" the clone suggested.

Thus Ye Liuyun and the clone together refined this poison pill into the scepter, enhancing the scepter's attack power.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun had Du Yan exchange for a large amount of toxic substances, to be used for the clone, Lei Ming, and others to cultivate.

Du Yan's business is now thriving, already helping Ye Liuyun make money, so there's no need for him to allocate resources to subsidize it anymore.

Du Yan even gave Ye Liuyun a considerable number of spirit stones—these are his recent earnings.

"Don't you want to keep some for working capital? Don't give it all to me!" Ye Liuyun still worried about affecting Du Yan's business.

"Rest assured, the working capital has been reserved enough; these are all profits!"

Du Yan smiled and briefed Ye Liuyun on the situation. In the entire supply trade, the daily net profit exceeds one hundred million spirit stones.

"Such huge profits?" Ye Liuyun clicked his tongue repeatedly upon hearing it.

"That's right—who let us monopolize the business? No competitors!" Du Yan laughed.

"Won't it be detrimental to the business over time?" Ye Liuyun asked worriedly.

"I've thought of that too, so I've already sent Yu Rou and Xiao Qigai out to establish their own branches. But their enterprises are also yours. It's just that different people run them, so we still have some competition between us, which can promote each other."

Du Yan had already anticipated this and made arrangements in advance.

Ye Liuyun nodded, approving Du Yan's approach.

The development of Moyu is proceeding smoothly in both military and commerce; Ye Liuyun has little to intervene in.

Thus he returned to the academy, intending to settle Ling Shuang's matter first, then investigate the Feng Clan, to see whether the Feng Yunfei remembered by the Cheng Clan Elder is his own mother.

But as soon as he appeared, he ran into Xia Tianqiong.

"Ye Liuyun, what exactly is going on between you and Ling Shuang? Did you pull off her veil?" Xia Tianqiong asked directly.

Ye Liuyun could only give her an explanation.

At that moment, Ling Shuang also heard the voice and rushed over, silently standing behind Ye Liuyun, head lowered shyly, not daring to look at Xia Tianqiong.

"So you're saying you took responsibility because you saw Ling Shuang naked?" Xia Tianqiong pursued the question.

"Mm!" Ye Liuyun could only nod.

He also felt utterly helpless: "Why do these women only look at the outcome and ignore the reason? It's as if saving someone doesn't matter at all!"

After thinking, Xia Tianqiong also felt it wasn't right to blame Ye Liuyun.

"At least you have a conscience and know to take responsibility!"

She said that with her mouth, but her heart was conflicted: "If I were to like Ye Liuyun even more, wouldn't I have to compete with my own sister for a man?"

"What about the Demon Race Holy Son? The dynasty won't let Ling Shuang call off the engagement!"

Xia Tianqiong began to find excuses for herself to continue liking Ye Liuyun.

If Ling Shuang cannot break off the engagement, then the two of them cannot be together, giving her an opportunity.

"I'll go challenge the Demon Race Holy Son right now and make him annul the engagement with Ling Shuang!" Ye Liuyun said cheerfully.

"Now?" Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang exclaimed in unison.

They never expected Ye Liuyun to fulfill his promise so quickly.

"Hmm." Ye Liuyun nodded: "Ling Shuang, take me to the residence of the Demon Race Holy Son."

"Are you confident you can defeat him?" Ling Shuang also worried about Ye Liuyun taking the risk.

"No. We'll see how it goes!" Ye Liuyun also didn't know the Demon Race Holy Son's background or what treasures he had; he could only adapt on the spot.

If it were just a fight using True Essence, Ye Liuyun wouldn't really fear him.

"Then why not wait a bit longer?" Ling Shuang suggested.

"We can't wait. First, I don't have the time; second, once the Demon Race Holy Son leaves the academy, we'll have even less chance."

Ye Liuyun looked firmly at Ling Shuang and urged her to lead the way quickly.

"All right!" Ling Shuang sighed. "If you lose, I'll die with you!"

Ling Shuang had always thought the Demon Race Holy Son would kill Ye Liuyun.

Xia Tianqiong stared blankly as Ling Shuang led Ye Liuyun away, seeming somewhat absent-minded.

"He really has guts! I just don't know if the Demon Race Holy Son will agree?" Thinking this, she immediately followed after, wanting to see the outcome.

Moreover, she could protect Ye Liuyun; if the Demon Race Holy Son tried to turn hostile on the spot, she could rescue him.

The Demon Race Holy Son had originally been in closed-door cultivation, but upon hearing that Ye Liuyun had come to challenge him, he still came out to meet Ye Liuyun.

"I didn't expect that I hadn't come to find you yet, and you came to find me first! I accept your challenge—how about setting the time for ten days from now?"

Upon meeting Ye Liuyun, the Demon Race Holy Son readily agreed.

Ye Liuyun also didn't expect him to be so quick. "It seems he's also been eager to fight me for a while!"

But he still said, "Don't rush; I still have a condition."

"You say!" The Demon Race Holy Son didn't beat around the bush, looking at Ye Liuyun, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

He has been in secluded cultivation recently, just wanting to measure himself against Ye Liuyun.

"If you lose, you must break off your engagement with Ling Shuang!" Ye Liuyun also directly put forward his condition.

Only then did the Demon Race Holy Son glance at Ling Shuang beside Ye Liuyun.

Upon discovering that Ling Shuang had already removed her veil, he immediately understood.

However, he didn't mind; on the contrary, he hoped Ling Shuang would follow Ye Liuyun.

As a demon, he didn't even care for human women.

Even if he were human, he would still see Ye Liuyun's endeavor through, relying on Ye Liuyun's courage.

"Haha, good. I'll help you out! Even if you lose, I'll still let Ling Shuang be with you. But by then you'll have to be my lackey and return with me to serve the Demon Race. How about that?"
