Chapter 447 - 447 | Great Ye Corps And Their Unknown Mission
"It\'s been so many years; how have you been, Brother Liu? Did you recover? When did you return? How\'s everyone else? Is there some emergency? Why did you come here? You could have just sent me a message."
Meeting after so long, Sect Leader Su couldn\'t help but bombard Butler Liu with numerous questions.
"Alright, alright, calm down," Butler Liu put his hands on the shoulder of Sect Leader Su and said, "First of all, meet him," Gesturing at Ye Tian Yun, he said, "This is Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun. I am sure this introduction is enough for you."
Sect Leader Su turned his head towards Ye Tian Yun, and his expression went from nonchalance to surprise and then finally to a huge smile.
Cupping his fists at Ye Tian Yun, Sect Leader Su said, "It\'s a pleasure to meet you, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun. The rumors were not wrong; your talent and potential are unfathomable."
He had already seen Ye Tian Yun\'s cultivation as the Eight Level of Qi Condensation Realm.
Ye Tian Yun returned the greeting with a slight smile, "The pleasure is all mine, Sect Leader Su."
"Ha-ha, you don\'t have to call me Sect Leader Su. Just call me Fifth Battalion Commander Su Ming; in fact, even Su Ming is no problem."
"It\'s an honor to meet you, Fifth Battalion Commander, Su Ming." Ye Tian Yun, this time cupped his fists and greeted with respect.
Fifth Battalion.
This was one of the twelve Battalions of the Great Ye Corps.
\'Sect Leader Su was commander in the Corps?\'
Ye Tian Yun was surprised at this revelation.
\'I am pretty sure I never heard of such a thing….\'
\'If he was killed by Fang Chen in the past… then how come no one from the Great Ye Clan investigated his death….\'
Ye Tian Yun didn\'t know the matters regarding the Great Ye Corps because it was his father\'s private force, and only listened to the Emperor.
\'They were nowhere to be found in the later years of my life….\'
It was as if this whole corps had vanished.
And most surprisingly - even his father never mentioned them to him.
But since Ye Tian Yun never had any direct connection with them in the first place, he had no feeling about them.
However, judging from the reaction of Sect Leader Su, it seemed the feeling was not mutual, and this commander actually held Ye Tian Yun in high regard.
"What happened, Brother Liu?" After normal greetings, Sect Leader Su asked once again.
Butler Liu thought for a moment and said, "Time has come, and you have been summoned."
Sect Leader Su\'s expression immediately hardened, "Brother, are we going to…."
"Yes." Butler Liu nodded his head, "And this time, we will kill every single of our enemies."
Sect Leader Su nodded his head, "Alright. I will prepare myself. What is the deadline?"
"Deadline?" Butler Liu frowned, "Is there something bugging you?"
"Nothing," Sect Leader Su shook his head, "Just a few Sect-related stuff. Need to arrange things and put people in charge to handle the sect in my absence."
"Hmm," Butler Liu nodded once again, "Alright, come to the place within two weeks. Also, take this."
He took out a box from his spatial ring and handed it over to Sect Leader Su, "Now you don\'t have to worry about those injuries. I got this especially for you."
Sect Leader Su\'s expression turned into that of a surprise, "Woah! Thank you once again, Brother Liu! You always have my back!"
"Haha, it\'s nothing," Butler Liu changed the topic, and with a serious face, he said, "Don\'t reveal your cultivation just yet. No need to tell everyone about your cultivation realm; you can handle the Lower Heavens matters once you\'re back."
"Alright," Sect Leader Su smiled, "I have waited for fifteen years. I can wait for a few more months."
"Hmm, good." Butler Liu nodded his head, "See you later then. Don\'t be late; you\'re one of the few who are living in farthest corners of the world."
"I won\'t be late. Don\'t worry, Brother Liu."
"Alright. I will head back then." Butler Liu said.
And just as he was about to turn around, Sect Leader Su suddenly said, "Brother Liu, are you in a hurry? Why don\'t you visit my Gracious Sword Sect for some time?"
"Not now. I have something important to handle. And by the time I come back here, you will be long gone. It looks like I will only be able to visit here when things are settled and the order is restored."
"Hm," Sect Leader Su nodded and cupped his fists in the direction of the two disappearing backs at the horizon.
…
After a few minutes, both Butler Liu and Ye Tian Yun finally slowed down their pace.
They had traveled hundreds of miles within a few minutes and were only a few hour\'s jourjourneysney away from their destination, the Crimson Bay City.
"What were you both talking about? Which enemy? What order?" Ye Tian Yun asked to douse the bulbing curiosity,
"It\'s a complicated matter," Butler Liu said, "And I am not the right person to reveal anything."
"What?" Ye Tian Yun was confused, "Then who should I ask? My father?"
And seeing Butler Liu slightly nod his head, Ye Tian Yun was even more surprised, "Really!?"
"Yes, Crown Prince," Butler Liu replied, "Only he can tell you the truth."
"Weird... "Ye Tian Yun shrugged. It was clear that Butler Liu was most likely trying to keep his mouth shut; that is why he concocted the \'only he can tell you\' bullshit.
"By the way, Butler Liu, how do you know Sect Leader Su? Are you also a commander?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
The information regarding the Great Ye Corps was one of the most well-kept secrets of the Great Ye Clan. Even Ye Tian Yun was not privy of these matters.
"Yes, I am." Butler Liu nodded and confirmed his relation with Sect Leader Su, "I met Su Ming by coincidence when I passed through a forest. He was injured but then his determination and will to kill his enemies was strong enough to impress me. That is why I took him with me. To heal him and make him part of the Great Ye Clan."
"Butler Liu, what is Sect Leader Su\'s real cultivation?" Ye Tian Yun asked.
"Hm… it should be the Peak Saint Realm. This fellow is really talented." Butler Liu nodded his head appreciating Sect Leader Su\'s hard work.
\'Peak Saint Realm!?\'
Ye Tian Yun however was surprised to hear this.
\'This is even higher than my peak cultivation in the previous life.\'
Ye Tian Yun was at Half-Saint Realm, and Sect Leader Su is already at the Peak of Saint Realm.
However, to kill Ye Tian Yun, it took the whole God\'s Legion.
But when it comes to Sect Leader Su, things were a bit different.
As per the records and different sources of information, it was clear that Fang Chen had killed Sect Leader Su with his bare hands in the previous life.
\'How in the world did Fang Chen succeed?\'
Ye Tian Yun didn\'t have an answer.
But he was sure that luck played a huge part in this.
\'Maybe Sect Leader Su was injured after coming from the mission with the other Great Ye Corp members.\'
\'But then - what is this mission about? Enough to easily crush a Saint Realm powerhouse and why did it feel like the Great Ye Corps was addicted to this mission!
