Chapter 1917: Chapter 1917 City Lockdown
At this moment, aside from a few A-ranked Golden-armoured foreign races, the rest of them were already slain by the Corpse Demons.
Ye Liuyun and his clone hurriedly rushed over, wiping out the remaining few foreign races that could devour the divine soul. Then, they both retreated while gathering the bodies of the foreign race and the Corpse Demons.
They decided not to stay long.
The experts from the foreign race were skilled and experienced. If they stayed any longer they risked themselves in danger.
Just as Ye Liuyun and his clone were about to retreat into the Sapien Tribe city, the clone noticed hundreds of powerful foreign races of sixth and seventh level emerging from their city, beginning to survey the battlefield.
Ye Liuyun swiftly entered the Xuankong stone, instructing his clone to rush to the Exchange Hall and report the situation to Wu Yongyuan.
The clone brought out the virtuosos of the Golden-armoured foreign race, as well as virtuosos of the sixth and seventh-ranked foreign race, he then informed Wu Yongyuan, "Before I entered the city, I saw the foreign races dispatched hundreds of sixth and seventh levels practitioners from their city."
"The prince?" Wu Yongyuan also realized the seriousness of the situation.
He commanded for the city to be temporarily sealed off, and then summoned the city’s soldiers to rush to the city border, assisting in defence and preparing for defensive formation.
"What happened?" The martial practitioners in the city began discussing intensely upon seeing the warriors on full watch.
Soon, the intimidating roar of many foreign races spread from outside the city.
Seeing the city guards prepared for defence, they vented their anger with a roar. After a while, they all returned to the foggy region.
Wu Yongyuan asked Ye Liuyun to assist in observing the movements of the foreign races.
"They have indeed started retreating," the clone announced.
Finally, the clone informed Wu Yongyuan that two seventh-rank martial practitioners remained at the centre of the battlefield, while the others had returned to their city.
"Okay!" Wu Yongyuan finally let his guard down but took out his Sound Transmission Talisman to report the situation information to the Martial Deity Alliance.
Then he ordered the guards to be on strict alert, temporarily sealing the city and not allowing anyone to leave to be slaughtered by the foreign races. He would decide after things had simmered down.
Wu Yongyuan increased the defence force, prepared to activate the city’s defensive formation, before allowing the others to retreat.
After he returned to the Exchange hall, Wu Yongyuan burst into a hearty laughter.
"You, young man, are impressive! You even managed to exterminate a foreign race’s prince!" Wu Yongyuan praised.
"I got lucky!" Ye Liuyun said modestly.
"This time, there are many sixth and seventh-level virtuosos. Leave the body to me, the Golden-armoured foreign race’s armour is also valuable!" Wu Yongyuan explained.
"I’ve collected a lot of stuff this time as well!" As Ye Liuyun spoke, he handed Wu Yongyuan several Interspatial Rings. One of them contained a great number of virtuosos of foreign races and Corpse Demons, while the others held various confiscated materials from foreign races and human martial practitioners.
Wu Yongyuan was stunned by the number of items in there.
After a long pause, he finally told Ye Liuyun, "When you’re done exchanging resources this time, you can leave! Staying here won’t help you improve your skills! And if you keep killing like way, the alien race may take drastic action."
"Yes! I thought the same!" Ye Liuyun agreed.
Wu Yongyuan nodded in satisfaction. "What would you like to exchange this time?"
This time, apart from fetching cultivation resources and State Crystals for everyone, Ye Liuyun mostly exchanged for Spirit Crystals.
After this battle, his men had enough armour, and Divine Soul attack defence items. Although they were not of the eighth level, it was enough for their usage now.
Besides these special cultivation resources, there was nothing much for him to exchange anyway.
However, Ye Liuyun did not immediately leave the place. Instead, he let his clone assist Wu Yongyuan in observing the battlefield.
He stayed in the Xuankong stone, filling it with advanced energy stored in the Storage Stone. At the same time, he was also planning his next move.
At this time, Ye Liuyun received a message from Yu Xiaofeng and the others. "The witch of the Devil Clan has disappeared. The Devil Clan suspects she was kidnapped by the Human Race and is preparing to send troops to Regalty."
Yu Xiaofeng captured many foreign races as prisoners on the border battlefield, the majority of whom he sent to the southernmost Demon Clan region as spies.
Originally, they planned to first take down Regalty and unify the southern Human Race, before they attack the Devil Clan.
Now that the Demon Clan was preparing to send troops to the Regalty, Yu Xiaofeng suggested they could wait, letting the Demon Clan and the Southern Royal Management fight a battle first.
Simultaneously, Ye Tiandao would lead the Blade Legion to rob some cities with garrisoned soldiers nearby to weaken future resistance.
This revelation prompted Ye Liuyun to change his plans.
Of course, he agreed to Yu Xiaofeng’s suggestion. However, he felt that Emperor Nanfu should not be so foolish as to kidnap a witch.
To the Human Race, a witch was not attractive and had no real power, there was no reason to kidnap her.
He felt that an alien race was causing problems, inciting a fight between the Human Race and the Demon Clan.
So, after leaving here, he decided to let his clone investigate in the Demon Clan, and then rush to Regalty to check the situation, attacking on all fronts.
Half a month later, the two powerful foreign races that had stayed on the battlefield retreated. The warriors from all the foreign race territories began to leave the city for hunting, and Wu Yongyuan released the newly arrived group of warriors, as he lifted the city’s lockdown order.
For a while, martial practitioners from all territories began to flee the city, eager to gather resources after being under lockdown for half a month. The foreign race battleground began to gradually return to its original state.
Only at this point did Ye Liuyun bid farewell to Wu Yongyuan.
And Wu Yongyuan handed Ye Liuyun a token.
"This token serves as proof that you have completed your mission. In the future, you can return here to garner resources unavailable elsewhere, bring some friends over, or seek refuge. As long as you present this token at the Conveyor Formation in Regalty, you can be transported here at any time."
Ye Liuyun accepted the token and thanked Wu Yongyuan. Only then did he head toward the Conveyor Formation to return to Regalty.
Guan Shanyue, however, took the Sound Transmission Talisman that Ye Liuyun had recently purchased and returned to the Fairy Clan to deliver it to Liang Xue.
It was so that Liang Xue and Ye Liuyun could communicate directly, eliminating the need for him as the middleman.
For now, he remained as an undercover agent Ye Liuyun had planted, staying behind to make money for Ye Liuyun.
When the time came for Ye Liuyun to march on the Fairy Clan, Guan Shanyue would return to serve as an inside agent for him.
As for Zhao Mingcheng, Ye Liuyun didn’t get a chance to meet her.
Upon arrival at Regalty, Ye Liuyun handed his clone the Concealcape, the Devil Vine, and the Devil-sealing Stele, instructing him to investigate the kidnapping of the witch in the Devil Clan and to study the strength of the Devil Clan.
He rented a room in an inn, and then used the Black Tower to send Wu Qingcheng and the others back to Necropolis, leaving them with ample resources for cultivation, and instructed Ye Tiandao to supervise their training.
He also assigned the Devil Hound, Devil Ape, Long-tailed Glede, Spotted Moss Serpent, and two Phantom Tigers to Wu Qingcheng, Su Miaoyin, Fyeng Wanru, Xia Lingshuang, Xia Tianqing, and Yuer, respectively to have these Devil Beast protect their safety.
Afterwards, he returned to Regalty to meet Tong Xin for information.
