Chapter 1925: Chapter 1925 Get Intelligence
Emperor Nanfu had already dispatched Mu Lianqing to recruit soldiers from the Devil Clan’s territory. He also intended to dampen the morale of the Devil Clan. It seemed that a battle was inevitable.
Of course, there was a possibility that Emperor Nanfu was working behind the scenes, kidnapping the woman from the Devil Clan without letting Mu Lianqing know.
Ye Liuyun immediately gave Mu Lianqing an order, "After you return, find out more about Emperor Nanfu’s army’s deployment and strength. Keep me updated on the changes and battle situation on the Devil Clan’s side.
As for the engagement with Lin Xiyao, let’s take this opportunity to postpone it. Also, if there’s anything related to Lin Luoyi, tell me asap. I’m gonna find a chance to get rid of this b*tch."
"Yes, sir!" Mu Lianqing replied respectfully.
"In public, just call me by my name. Don’t get us exposed!" Ye Liuyun cautioned him, then handed back the treasure that protected him against Divine Soul Attacks and dismissed him.
Back home, Mu Lianqing started to show interest in the Devil Clan. Emperor Nanfu was very pleased, thinking his son had finally set his priorities straight.
Thus, Emperor Nanfu didn’t hide anything from Mu Lianqing and was willing to share anything the latter asked. Consequently, Mu Lianqing picked up quite a bit of intelligence, all of which was reported to Ye Liuyun.
After Mu Lianqing left, Ye Liuyun called Lin Xiyao over and they heartily enjoyed a meal together.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Not worried that he might harm you again?" Lin Xiyao asked perturbedly.
"Nope, it won’t happen again! I’ve explained everything to him, and he was just jealous! Oh, and he’ll postpone your engagement, too. I told him that men should prioritise greater issues. He agreed and went back to assist his father in fighting against the Devil Clan," Ye Liuyun laughed.
"It’s just a while... You guys talked so much?" Lin Xiyao was incredulous.
"Yep, spiritual communication, get it? Makes the conversation quicker!" Ye Liuyun didn’t elaborate further.
"Are you sure he won’t take action again?" Lin Xiyao was still a bit sceptical.
Ye Liuyun then said with a grin, "Of course! If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. He won’t bother you again. Well, I’m quite persuasive!"
"What exactly did you say to him? Care to share?" Lin Xiyao was extremely curious.
"It was a man-to-man talk, I can’t share it with a woman!" Ye Liuyun pretended to be mysterious.
"Hmph, I’m sure it wasn’t anything good!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun in high spirits, Lin Xiyao couldn’t help but share in his happiness.
As for whether what Ye Liuyun said was true or not, they would have to wait and see.
But for the next few days, Mu Lianqing really did stop pestering her.
This made Lin Xiyao even more curious about what Ye Liuyun had said to Mu Lianqing. But Ye Liuyun refused to tell her no matter what, so there was nothing she could do.
"You better take this time to focus on cultivation! Your combat abilities are weak. You can’t even defend yourself against danger, how are you gonna go on a foreign race battlefield?" Ye Liuyun, in an attempt to distract her, urged her to start practicing.
The thought of going to the foreign race battlefield immediately made Lin Xiyao start taking her training seriously. She even bought a feral beast to be her pet beast and sparred with it whenever she had free time, which greatly improved her combat skills.
Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied to see her occupied and not bothering him.
He also kept in touch with Yu Xiaofeng, reporting on the situation on his side. With Ye Liuyun’s information, the Dark Legion was better prepared.
Although Emperor Nanfu knew about the unification of the border battlefield, he did not expect them to attack the south. Thus, there were no changes in their military strength in the south, on the contrary, some troops were deployed to fight the Devil Clan.
Ye Tiandao also took this opportunity to bring the Blade Legion and those around Ye Liuyun for training.
The drafted soldiers also had more time for training and coordination. Sometimes, they were divided into small units for combat training against bandits.
As for Liang Xue’s side, she also received the Sound Transmission Talisman sent by Guan Shanyue, and from now on, they could directly communicate with Ye Liuyun.
The Ethos Tribe had its own Conveyor Formation. Therefore, after Guan Shanyue returned to the east side of Regalty, he directly returned to the Ethos Tribe through the Conveyor Formation. After waiting some time, he finally found an opportunity to meet Liang Xue, thanks to He Sining.
Thereafter, Guan Shanyue returned to Base No.7 to continue running the casino, accumulating Spirit Crystal resources for Ye Liuyun.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Liuyun followed Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong to enhance his pill-refining techniques and understand more about various pill prescriptions.
He also used his knowledge to help them improve their pill prescriptions and advance their research together.
On the other side, his clone hadn’t yet reached the Devil Clan due to the long journey. And with his effort to keep an eye on the situation of every city he passed by, looking for any traces of the woman from the Devil Clan. Hence, the progress hadn’t been very fast.
The closer the clone got to the Devil Clan, the more intense the atmosphere of war became. Unlike in Regalty, there were hardly any feelings here.
By the time the clone arrived at the border city of Dormir, tens of thousands of miles ahead of the city were already occupied by the Southern army.
Moreover, the inspection of the city was particularly strict. At both the northern and southern gates, numerous soldiers with feral beasts and Devil beasts were checking all incoming and outgoing personnel.
After the woman from the Devil Clan disappeared, the army was immediately dispatched here to intercept and check to prevent her from being brought into the southern region.
Devil Clan and devil cultivators were stopped directly, and none of them was allowed to pass through. Human martial practitioners, on the other hand, were meticulously checked, including examining their storage spaces before being let through.
These feral beasts and Devil Beasts here underwent special training and were highly sensitive to the smell of Devil Clan. Anyone daring to bring someone from the Devil Clan, a devil cultivator, or a Devil Beast here would be discovered by these feral beasts.
Even when Ye Liuyun entered the city, he was discovered to be a devil cultivator by a Devil Beast. However, with just a glare from him, the Devil Beast dared not make a sound.
The city’s soldiers simply screened him, and then let him go. They even reminded Ye Liuyun, "You can get into the city, but you’ll have a hard time getting out! The southern gate only allows the Demon Clan to pass. And here, only humans are allowed to pass through.
And if two sides get into war, the Devil Clan in the city might cause trouble, and we’ll need to conduct a clearance. Things may get chaotic then."
Regardless, Ye Liuyun resolutely entered the city.
His special Golden Phantom Eyes had already scanned the entirety of the city from outside its borders. Surprisingly, he had discovered the presence of a foreign race’s Divine Soul. What’s more, near this foreign race were over a dozen human martial practitioners in the beginner stages of the Fifth Realm and a Devil Clan woman.
Although these martial practitioners’ virtuoso hadn’t been contaminated, so many powerful beings gathered together, especially with a Devil Clan woman, had immediately aroused Ye Liuyun’s caution.
Regardless of whether she was the Devil Clan woman Ye Liuyun was searching for, he was intent on exterminating that foreign race and acquiring information through soul searching.
These people had rented a separate courtyard but never seemed to venture out.
Border city’s entrances were generally chaotic. Ye Liuyun had been observing them nearby for some days and had already encountered several attacks. Yet, he had not found an opportunity to approach those inside.
