Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 96
Chapter 96: A New Servant, Zhou Li
“You! ” Hearing the two words “Essence Bl00d,” the widely experienced Zhou Li naturally understood what Ye Yu wanted to do.
He wanted Zhou Li to sign a Master-Servant Contract with him.
“What? Unwilling? ” Ye Yu said playfully.
Zhou Li’s expression was grim, but ultimately he still forced out his Essence Bl00d. In the face of death, things like being a prince, self-respect, and face became meaningless.
Watching the Essence Bl00d merge into the Formation, Ye Yu looked at Zhou Li, his eyes gradually becoming calm.
Now, he only needed a thought, even if separated by tens of thousands of miles, he could eliminate someone with a single thought, just like Xue Li.
“Great Zhou Fourth Prince. ” Ye Yu shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Li’s face turned pale, but he dared not say much. At this moment, his life was in the other’s hands.
Ye Yu felt somewhat emotional.
In his past life, the Demon Race army invaded Qingzhou, and countless cultivators rose up in resistance.
But in fact, those who were at the front lines resisting the Demon Race were mostly independent cultivators without background or power.
As for those imperial princes, sect elites, and various individuals with strong abilities, or even those who were related to those cultivators whose abilities were not as good, they safely hid in the rear, fleeing faster than anyone else.
Some even had the speed to directly take all the resources and run to other states.
These so-called elites occupied more than ninety percent of Qingzhou’s resources, but in the end, it was the ordinary people who fought bloody battles.
Thinking of this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh, shook his head, and threw these thoughts out of his mind.
The urgent matter now was how to leave this place.
With this in mind, Ye Yu took out the Xuantian Cauldron. Green light shone, illuminating the entire underground.
The ancient aura made Zhou Li’s eyes light up, and a trace of greed arose in his heart, but he was met with Ye Yu’s cold snort.
Immediately, Zhou Li was so scared that he trembled all over, lowered his head, and abandoned those inappropriate thoughts.
With the help of the Xuantian Cauldron’s light, the surrounding darkness seemed to recede slightly. Ye Yu carefully examined his surroundings and saw murals carved on the surrounding stone walls.
Zhou Li also saw them and exclaimed, “Could the legends be true?!”
“What legend? ” Ye Yu turned and asked.
“Legend has it that a stunningly talented individual once appeared in the Triangle Region…” Then, Zhou Li recounted the legend, which was exactly the same as the record on the murals.
“In other words, that person ultimately died at the hands of the Imperial Clan. ” Ye Yu said in a low voice.
“Yes, but because there is no ancient battlefield in the Triangle Region, it is considered a legend, not to mention that the legend says that person possessed a Chaos Nascent Soul. ” At this point, Zhou Li’s voice stopped abruptly.
As if he remembered something, he looked at Ye Yu in shock.
Remembering the feeling of fear he had felt when his spiritual energy clashed with Ye Yu’s, combined with the rumors about the Chaos Nascent Soul.
The answer was obvious!
Ye Yu saw Zhou Li’s reaction and knew he had guessed it, but now that the other party was his servant, there was no need to kill him.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Ziyun’s return brought new vitality to the Lingyun Pavilion Qingzhou branch. After sending the Spirit Infant Fruit back to the Zi Clan, Ziyun took action.
First, she completely severed trade relations with Great Yan, then she announced an alliance with Great Qin.
This series of actions caused an uproar among the various forces of Qingzhou.
That was an alliance. Since the establishment of Lingyun Pavilion, there had never been any news of a branch forming an alliance with any force.
Although Lingyun Pavilion outwardly presented itself as a chamber of commerce, no one dared to underestimate this force that was able to gain a foothold in the Triangle Region!
“Elder, the people from the Great Yan Dynasty sent an invitation,” Bi Yue walked in and handed the invitation to Ziyun.
Ziyun frowned slightly, but still reached out to take it. After glancing at it, her eyes narrowed. “Are they trying to intimidate me? ”
The invitation clearly stated the Great Yan Crown Prince Ye Xuan’s Apprenticeship Ceremony.
The master he was apprenticing to was Ren Xiaoyao, the Grand Elder of the Nine Spirits Sword Sect.
At the same time, Ziyun received another order from Lingyun Pavilion Headquarters, instructing her to resume trade relations with Great Yan because the Nine Spirits Sword Sect was pressuring Lingyun Pavilion in Leizhou.
“Elder, this…” Bi Yue said, head lowered.
In her opinion, they naturally could not abandon Great Qin, but this was a serious matter.
Ziyun glanced at Bi Yue. “I’ll go take a trip. ”
After speaking, Ziyun soared into the air and headed towards Qingzhou.
However, she didn’t notice two slightly disheveled figures walking towards Lingyun Pavilion.
Ye Yu was in the lead, and Zhou Li, pale-faced, followed behind him.
“Alright, you can go back to Great Zhou. I’ll contact you if needed. ” Looking at Zhou Li, Ye Yu waved his hand and said.
Zhou Li nodded, bowed, and left.
Watching Zhou Li’s departing figure, Ye Yu nodded with satisfaction. After half a month of training, Zhou Li had changed from initially paying lip service to now being obsequious, which was quite effective.
After Zhou Li left, Ye Yu looked at his palm, where there was a Seal Talisman.
It was obtained in the Yan Shang Cave Mansion. Ye Yu could feel that it seemed to contain an extremely powerful force, but it also seemed to be some kind of mark.
When Ye Yu realized that leaving the cave mansion required activating the Chaos Nascent Soul’s power, he and Zhou Li came out. The Giant Hand did not appear again but gave him this Seal Talisman instead.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yu turned and walked toward Lingyun Pavilion. After telling Ziyun about the matter, he should return to Great Qin.
He had been out for half a month. He wondered how the Great Qin was doing with receiving the supplies for the Hundred Dynasties War, and Ye Xuan… calculating the time, he should have returned from the Nine Spirits Sword Sect by now.
Soon, Ye Yu arrived at the gate of Lingyun Pavilion and saw Teng Yun, looking dejected, walking out with Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing’s expression was also bad. Their attempt to change Lingyun Pavilion’s mind backfired, and instead, Lingyun Pavilion formed an alliance with Great Qin.
She didn’t know how to explain this to Ye Fan.
“Good! I was just looking for someone to vent my anger on, and you just walked right into it! ” Ye Qingqing was feeling down, when Teng Yun suddenly spoke beside her.
Ye Qingqing froze, looked up and saw Ye Yu. Looking for a place to vent her frustrations, she immediately cursed, “Ye Yu, this is all your doing! You made Teng Yun suffer! ”
Ye Yu glanced at her, too lazy to respond, and turned to walk inside.
“I’m talking to you, can’t you hear me?!” Teng Yun said coldly.
“Scram! ” Ye Yu said calmly.
“I know you’re powerful, and I’m no match for you, but my elder sister has returned. Do you still dare to act recklessly?!” Teng Yun sneered, and took out a Jade Talisman from his bosom and crushed it.
Ye Yu sighed and shook his head. These idiots still needed a good beating!
