Chapter 2111: Chapter 2111 Huge Group
This time, there were still quite a few greedy people following them.
Just as before, Ye Liuyun released his captives and captured them all.
However, he tried to kill as few martial practitioners as possible this time, even sparing those early and mid-seventh-realms.
If everyone that went out with him got killed each time, then no one would want to go with him ever again.
After taking down all these people, Ye Liuyun only took the valuable resources from their interspatial rings. He returned the rest and allowed them to follow from a distance.
He, along with the ladies, practiced their skills against some sixth-realm corpse demons before returning to base.
For those that followed Ye Liuyun, he taught them what to say upon their return and let them infiltrate their group as undercover agents.
The group’s return stirred up a furor.
However, the martial practitioners who went out with them returned to the base fairly quickly, and most of them were still alive. The few deaths were explained away as encounters with the foreign races.
“Didn’t you guys make a move against them?” One of them asked, puzzled.
“Move? These guys ran faster than rabbits, they even have speed relics!”
They all said that Ye Liuyun and his group ran too fast and they simply couldn’t catch up. They warned the others that if they wanted to start a fight, they should do it early before getting left behind.
Thus, those who initially suspected Ye Liuyun’s group were now convinced.
So these people negotiated with the returning martial practitioners. Instead of following them the next time Ye Liuyun’s group went out, they would wait outside the city, set up an ambush, and only attack when they returned.
Upon receiving the reports from these spies, Ye Liuyun instructed them to provoke as many other of them as possible.
Soon, he and the others left the base again.
This time, they decided to challenge the foreign races of the seventh realm. Unfortunately, during the battle, they accidentally attracted a corpse demon at the mid-eighth realm, but they successfully defeated it by working together.
When they were about to return to the base, several martial practitioners who had been lying in ambush suddenly appeared and surrounded Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun and Dragon Lady confronted them, only letting out some of their eighth-realms to encircle the ambushers.
At the same time, those who were undercover also took advantage of the surprise to turn on their allies, resulting in a complete wipeout.
By now, the prisoners they captured had already included more than 40 eighth-realms and almost 100 seventh-realms.
These numbers would qualify as a significant force!
Ye Liuyun ordered these people to go back and continue to lure the greedy ones to follow or ambush him.
However, many of these people were no fools. After numerous failures, they began to fear Ye Liuyun’s group more and more, with less and less people willing to oppose them.
Left with no other choice, Ye Liuyun had to venture out twice more behind the Dragons, subduing those who were following them. After that, no other martial practitioners could be enticed.
After all, only a portion of them were greedy. The majority focused on exterminating the foreign races. Some harbored malicious intentions but lacked the courage to act.
Hence, after that, Ye Liuyun started to venture out with the Dragons.
He battled alongside the seventh-realm Dragons, dealing with foreign races and corpse demons of the similar realm. Ao Bo took Chen Qing, Lei Ming, Dragon Lady and some other eighth-realms, to battle foreign races of the same level.
Ye Liuyun decided to lay off soul attacks and polished other aspects of his skills. He also started a body endurance competition with Wen Hao, to see who could take more hits.
With the company of a few of the Dragon Clan, he didn’t find it dull at all.
He released the martial practitioners he had subdued, letting them earn points to exchange for resources for him.
"Hey, kid, don’t neglect your cultivation to compete with me in physical strength!" Wen Hao, seeing Ye Liuyun always choosing elixirs and treasures for physical cultivation, was worried that he would focus solely on physical strength and overlook other aspects.
"Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control!" Ye Liuyun reassured him.
In fact, he spent most of his time inside the Xuankong Stone cultivating his realms. His Double Virtuoso, however, was not something that could be filled up in a short time.
And his advance energy also needed to be condensed through combat; it wasn’t something he could break through in a brief period.
"Kid, if you keep practicing like this, you’ll be stronger than me in no time!" Wen Hao also remarked in admiration.
Ye Liuyun, not only did he consume high-level elixirs and using some precious treasures for body cultivation, but he also no longer wore armor during battles, and used his physical strength to resist instead. After this period of hardening, his physical body was even stronger than the Dragon Clan members were are a realm above him.
Therefore, even these Dragon Clan warriors genuinely admired Ye Liuyun’s physical strength.
But Ye Liuyun knew that he was still far from the peak of his physical strength. So every time he came back to exchange, it was still resources for physical cultivation, continuously strengthening his body.
The Dragon Clan had been having a great time recently. They noticed that since Ye Liuyun had arrived, the martial practitioners who used to follow them disappeared.
Moreover, each time they ran into them again, they didn’t try to fight them anymore, even helping back them up.
So now, every time they went to battle, there was a certain distance kept between the two sides. This allowed them to support each other without getting in each other’s ways.
Without the worry of being ambushed, the Dragon Clan was able to fight more freely, and the rewards they received each time they went out were greater.
But Ye Liuyun and his group had been striking at the foreign race too hard recently, drawing their attention. Lately, they had been coming out in groups to fight against the martial practitioners.
But when it comes to cooperating, they were no match for Ye Liuyun. His experience commanding troops was much richer than theirs.
The main point is, Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes, his hidden clone and Xenocide, all played a significant role in the exchange of information and surprise assassinations. Ye Liuyun was fully aware of any movements made by the enemies.
Thus, the more of them died as they continued to present themselves against him.
Soon, their experts noticed the changes on the battlefield.
They assigned 16 eighth-realm experts to form a patrol team, searching for signs of Ye Liuyun and his men on the battlefield.
Ye Liuyun’s clone was responsible each day for long-range scouting of the enemy’s information, promptly notifying Ye Liuyun’s troops to withdraw.
Therefore, the patrol team could never catch the chance to directly confront Ye Liuyun.
He intentionally avoided them, not wanting to clash head-on, thus minimizing casualties on his side.
Until one time, the patrol team was split into two groups.
The clone provided the information to Ye Liuyun, deeming this the chance to eliminate their experts. Moreover, each of these two groups contained one Golden-armoured , clearly a part of their royal family.
As such, Ye Liuyun mobilized the Dragon Clan and the eighth-realm captives for a surprise attack.
They first encircled one squad and launched a full-scale attack. They also dispatched 20 early-seventh-realms in advance, who scattered and fled when discovered by the other patrol squad, leading them into a chase.
