Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928 Stay With the Devil Clan
The head of the Devil Clan was naturally happy to see the Witch had returned.
But he was also skeptical about Ye Liuyun being the commander of the border battlefield.
However, now that the Devil Clan war is imminent, it is necessary to clear out the three-eyed foreign race inside the city first, before discussing cooperation with Ye Liuyun.
"I’ll go! You don’t need to send people to help. I can handle them!" Ye Liuyun volunteered.
In fact, he just wanted the Devil-sealing Stele and the Devil Vine to absorb more power and grow faster.
Seeing that he did not need to send people to help, the head of the Devil Clan naturally agreed.
Later, Ye Liuyun put on his Concealcape and disappeared again.
After Ye Liuyun had left, the head of the Devil Clan began to inquire the Witch about Ye Liuyun’s situation in detail.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun released the Devil-sealing Stele and the Devil Vine everywhere he went, killing the foreign races and absorbing them directly, and trying not to cause too much of a commotion.
In the end, none of the sixteen foreign races escaped. They were all exterminated by Ye Liuyun.
The forces they trained were also detected by Ye Liuyun through soul searching. Only after they were all eradicated, did he return to the Devil Clan’s head’s residence again.
After seeing how Ye Liuyun exterminated the foreign races through his Divine Sense, the Devil Clan’s head took a keen interest in the Devil-sealing Stele and the Devil Vine.
"Dad, Ye Liuyun saved me. We can’t bite the hand that feeds us! Plus, he’s very strong. If this is not done well, it’ll bring us trouble," Tuomu Xingya advised her father.
"Haven’t the humans done enough to bite the hand that feeds us?" Tuomu Qianglei retorted unhappily.
At this, Tuomu Xingya could not help but argue with her father.
"There are a few scums in each clan. Many of us in the Devil Clan see humans as food, so we can’t blame humans for having prejudices against us!
If Ye Liuyun indeed leads the border army, your actions could bring us disaster. How about we make friends with him? He takes the south, and we’re better off as good neighbours, isn’t it?
Don’t you always tell me to keep the bigger picture in mind? You can’t risk everything for two mere treasures!"
Tuomu Qianglei gave her a look and eventually, slowly nodded his head.
"Indeed! You make a solid point. Seems like you’ve grown quite a lot recently!"
However, he also said to Tuomu Xingya, "But, before proving his identity, he can’t leave the main city!"
Tuomu Xingya understood that her father wanted to verify Ye Liuyun’s identity before deciding how to deal with him.
She was a bit conflicted. Ye Liuyun saved her life, and now they had to imprison him in some way, which didn’t make sense.
But since her father had already compromised, she couldn’t say anything more. She could only wait for the right moment to help Ye Liuyun escape secretly.
Yet, after Ye Liuyun had returned, he hadn’t brought up wanting to leave at all.
Firstly, he discussed the time to deploy troops with Tuomu Qianglei. He wanted to wait until after Tuomu Qianglei had the first fight with the Southern army. Once the Southern army sent troops and resources here, it’d be his time to deploy troops.
Tuomu Qianglei had no objections to this. He was at a point of no return, there was no backing out now. Even if Ye Liuyun was not going to join the battle, he had to fight this war.
The earlier Ye Liuyun sent his troops to fight, the lesser the losses, and the sooner the war would end.
The main benefit of cooperating with Ye Liuyun was that after taking the South, he would hand them the southern area of Dormir.
Also, they both signed a Divine Soul contract to guarantee each other’s interests.
Following that, Tuomu Qianglei asked Tuomu Xingya to arrange for Ye Liuyun’s accommodation. Ye Liuyun didn’t mention leaving and promptly settled in.
This indeed saved Tuomu Xingya a lot of worry.
In the following days, Ye Liuyun mostly stayed in his room cultivating, occasionally going out to chat with Tuomu Xingya, seemingly having no plans to leave.
Eventually, Tuomu Xingya couldn’t stand anymore and directly asked. She didn’t want to worry every day about Ye Liuyun announcing his departure.
"How long are you planning to stay here?"
"Why, are you trying to kick me out?" Ye Liuyun jested.
"Of course not. You’re welcome to stay here as long as you want!" Tuomu Xingya explained.
However, Ye Liuyun countered with a smile, "If I wanna leave now, would y’all let me?"
He had already thought it through. Unless the Devil Clan confirmed that he was the head of the Dark Legion, they definitely wouldn’t let him leave easily.
His treasures and his past were all unknown. How could the Devil Clan simply let him go?
"You...you’ve figured it all out?" Tuomu Xingya asked, embarrassed.
Ye Liuyun nodded, jokingly telling her, "Well, It’s easy to invite someone, but difficult to send them off.’ Besides, I saved your life! If your dad doesn’t give me enough resources, I’m not leaving!"
Tuomu Xingya thought he was joking and laughed, repeating, "Of course, of course!"
But in reality, Ye Liuyun was not joking.
As the savior of the Witch, the Devil Clan not only failed to treat Ye Liuyun as an honored guest and reward him with resources, but they wanted to keep him here out of their wariness. At this, Ye Liuyun was determined to make the Devil Clan pay some price to avoid future insubordination from them.
He decided to let them have their fun for now. Anyways, no matter where he was, he could cultivate as well.
The southern area had just erupted into chaos, and he couldn’t leave for the moment. If necessary, his true body could always use the transmission tower to pick him up at any time. There was no way the Devil Clan could stop him.
Of course, during his stay with the Devil Clan, he didn’t idle away his time. He thoroughly investigated the situation within the Devil Clan’s main city. He even requested Tuomu Xingya to bring him to the foreign race passage to take a look, curious to know what a foreign race passage would look like.
However, even with his Golden Phantom Eyes, all he could see was an endless the Null. He had no idea where it led and couldn’t see the other side.
The external Formation was guarded by tens of thousands of Devil Clan soldiers along with numerous checkpoints and Formations. Additionally, there were five Seventh Realm Devil Clan elders stationed here. It could be said that it was absolutely safe.
After five to six days, Ye Liuyun received messages from both the Devil Clan and Mu Lianqing, reporting a big battle.
Both sides suffered casualties of over fifty thousand, and the Southern army lost three territories. At present, the South is mobilising reserve troops and resources to reinforce this area.
"Three days later, the Dark Legion will dispatch three hundred thousand soldiers and attack the southern Regalty from three separate ways."
Ye Liuyun also informed the head of the Devil Clan.
Tuomu Qianglei had heard about the prowess of the Dark Legion. However, when he heard that Ye Liuyun was just dispatching his army, Tuomu Qianglei didn’t take it too seriously, thinking that they wouldn’t achieve any significant results immediately.
Yet, three days later, the information received from Ye Liuyun significantly increased.
On the first day of the Three Races Armies’ deployment, they wiped out all the southern border forces.
The following day, the troops focusing on attacking the central region conquered over ten cities. The obstacles ahead had almost been cleared in advance by the Blade Legion led by Ye Tiandao.
The other two troops also took down five or six cities each within the day, continuing their full-speed advance after dividing the forces.
This rate of progress stunned the Devil Clan’s head.
They had sent out spies themselves, and in the end, all the information was confirmed by the spy.
However, the return of information was nowhere near as fast as Ye Liuyun’s Dark Legion’s advancement.
