Chapter 2124: Chapter 2124 When Foe Fought Against Each Other
"Who’s there?"
The Fairy Clan disciple had been sent flying into the air by punches. But he couldn’t see anyone around.
Knowing that he was trying to avoid using his token, Ye Liuyun made his move to block his path.
And then he swiftly retreated.
"Invisibility?" The Fairy Clan disciple began to discharge the energy from his token right away after realising there might be an invisible enemy around.
However, just like earlier, he ended up killing another foreign race. And he had depleted the last of his energy inside the token.
He was mulling over what to do, when suddenly Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul penetrated his Ocean of Consciousness, initiating a soul search.
"Three elders of the Ninth level and fifty-six disciples! The Fairy Clan is truly generous to dispatch so many at once!"
After Ye Liuyun obtained the information he needed, he stamped the disciple with the Slaving Seal.
"Go back and heal! Tell them that you encountered a foreign race and used your token twice to barely escape. This way, those old geezers won’t release their Divine Souls into your Ocean of Consciousness to conduct a search. From now on, keep me updated with the situation at the base!"
Ye Liuyun instructed him after enslaving him.
He made such an arrangement because as long as the token could still be used, it would protect the disciple’s Ocean of Consciousness and deter others from searching.
"Yes!"
The disciple from the Fairy Clan, Lin Yuan, agreed and reluctantly returned to the base.
Lin Yuan encountered other Fairy Clan members along his journey back. They kindly escorted him back to the base after noticing his injuries.
After Lin Yuan returned to the base, he reported the situation of the base to Ye Liuyun while he recuperated there.
"The elder said that the people from the Zhongxing Royal Management have also arrived. There are three ninth-level elders and sixty-two disciples. They haven’t yet left the city," Lin Yuan conveyed the information through his Slaving Seal to Ye Liuyun.
"Alright, keep me updated!" Ye Liuyun, having received the message, put on his Concealcape to stay hidden.
There was no need for him to interfere in the competition between the Fairy Clan and the Zhongxing Royal Management. After sowing the discord among them, he could just sit by and enjoy the show of them fighting each other.
He slipped past the search line of the Fairy Clan followers and released the few warriors who were held hostage.
When the disciples from the Eastcloud Dynasty appeared, those martial practitioners started to discuss.
"I saw a disciple from the Fairy Clan had captured Overlord Ye and stored him in his Storage Space. How can this be a mistake!" a martial practitioner shouted as if debating with others.
"What did that martial practitioner look like? Describe him!" another martial practitioner asked.
"The Fairy Clan disciple had his back facing me. I couldn’t see his face! How could I dare make up such a matter! Would I still be alive if I did?" the martial practitioner explained.
"Nonsense! If they had captured him, why hadn’t the Fairy Clan left yet? They’re still searching for him!" another martial practitioner refuted.
"After capturing Overlord Ye, that Fairy Clan disciple was also pretending to search! I have no idea what his intentions were!" The martial practitioner became somewhat anxious and his voice grew louder as he explained.
"Shh!" An older martial practitioner shushed him. He peered at the martial practitioners of the Zhongxing Dynasty who were present.
"This has nothing to do with us, stop speaking nonsense risking your life!" the elder warned him.
"I wasn’t spouting nonsense..." The warrior lowered his voice and muttered before he stopped talking.
They walked past the individuals from the Zhongxing Royal Management and returned to their base.
Their conversation, however, had long been overheard by the people of the Zhongxing Royal Management.
"Is what that guy claimed true?" Someone among the crowd wondered aloud.
"Judging from his agitated state, he didn’t seem to be lying!" Another voiced his thoughts.
"The Fairy Clan’s deliberate persistence in their hunt for Ye Liuyun may just be an effort to mislead us!" One even went so far as to state the question that Ye Liuyun wanted them to speculate.
The leading military practitioner paused for a while before instructing the others, "Since we don’t know who has captured Ye Liuyun, we’ll regard everyone as suspects!"
"After all, the Fairy Clan is our foe. Even if we find Ye Liuyun, they’ll probably jump in and snatch him from us. We might as well wipe them out first!”
The followers agreed with him and swiftly formed into teams to search the Fairy Clans.
Ye Liuyun, hiding nearby, was satisfied with their speculation and decision.
"Both these groups are at the eighth level. They’re both showing a lot of determination! This is going to be interesting!" Ye Liuyun thought to himself as he chuckled.
After the soldiers he’d arranged returned, he would send them into his Spatial World, and secretly trail behind the Zhongxing Royal Management’s martial practitioners, ready to seize the opportunity.
The Fairy Clan disciples, unguarded and making the search individually, provided a perfect opportunity for the Zhongxing Royal Management to strike.
But they possessed tokens that could protect them. It was powerful enough to inflict heavy losses on the Zhongxing Royal Management.
Ye Liuyun had detected that two groups of Zhongxing Royal Management’s men had been eliminated with a single token wielded by a Fairy Clan disciple.
"At this rate, the Zhongxing Royal Management’s men won’t stand a chance against the Fairy Clan disciples!" Ye Liuyun was concerned about this fact.
However, soon, the cultivators of the Zhongxing Royal Management recognized the challenge of dealing with the Fairy Clan’s tokens and reported to their leader, requesting reinforcements.
They even changed their strategy. Whenever they found a Fairy Clan disciple, they would send martial practitioners of a higher level to strike them one by one.
They also began using long-range weapons such as bows and arrows to hunt down the Fairy Clan disciples.
The change of strategy alerted the Fairy Clan disciples to quickly report it to their elders.
"Assemble and split into several teams. Search for Ye Liuyun while dealing with them!" The elder consulted.
Both sides had three elders, therefore there was no need for them to fight now. They’d wait till their disciple found Ye Liuyun.
Before long, troops from the Zhongxing Royal Management came. They were divided into three groups, each including more than thirty persons.
Lin Yuan communicated all this information to Ye Liuyun.
"The equilibrium of power is even now!"
Ye Liuyun was relieved and trailed behind them calmly as he enjoyed watching them fighting each other.
Once the Fairy Clan disciples gathered together, the Zhongxing Royal Management would have a harder time exterminating them.
If they attacked all at once, the Fairy Clan disciples could easily eliminate them with their tokens. But if they acted individually, their strength was no match with the Fairy Clan disciples.
As a result, they were unable to devise any effective strategy and could only observe the Fairy Clan disciples.
"Once the Fairy Clan followers get together, it will be difficult to defeat them!" Ye Liuyun was similarly at a loss and could only wait to see what the Zhongxing Royal Management would do next.
After the reinforcements of the Zhongxing Royal Management arrived, they joined up with the disciples who had arrived earlier.
Lin Yuan could tell from a glance that the three black-clad individuals were concealing their true level.
"The three men, they are at least at an intermediate ninth level!" The clone relayed to Ye Liuyun.
"So, it seems the Zhongxing Royal Management is also the kind of people who stop at nothing to achieve their objectives!" Ye Liuyun discreetly increased his alert toward them.
When the three men in black arrived, they immediately assumed leadership. They set out with roughly eight followers to kill a group of Fairy Clan disciples.
The Fairy Clan disciples were unable to determine the level of these three men in black. Believing that they were evenly matched, they proceeded to fight head-on.
The three disciples of the Fairy Clan were at a disadvantage as a result of this encounter. Before they could even react, three of them were instantaneously slain by a single blow from their opponents.
By the time the Fairy Clan disciples gathered their senses, half of them had already been slain by the Zhongxing Royal Management.
