Chapter 2142: Chapter 2142 Adding Pressure
Ye Liuyun was busy cleaning up the toxic corpses on the battlefield of the foreign race, and he let Wu Qingcheng put more pressure on the Fairy Clan.
As a result, the Klanning City troops moved closer to the Fairy Clan and established checkpoints in the area to stop the Fairy Clan disciples from leaving and stop others from delivering them supplies.
He Lianxiu, on the other hand, led her troops into the Klanning City.
Not only were the Fairy Clan being driven out of the places under the Eastern Royal Management control, but they were also being killed outright.
Zhang Heng along with five intermediate level nine martial practitioners, and a primary level nine martial practitioner, rushed to Klanning City. Any member of the Fairy Clan who dared to come close was killed on the spot.
The five intermediate ninth-level martial practitioners would often venture out of the city at night. Scouting and hunting down seventh and eighth-level Fairy Clan martial practitioners.
Still, the trading centres had not reopened within the Fairy Clan. To provide for the daily demands of the Fairy Clan members, the Fairy Clan had no choice but to exhaust their own resources.
Xuan Yuanling had already retreated to the Regalty. The Conveyor Formation leading to the foreign race battlefield began to restrict the Fairy Clan warriors; the restriction was no longer limited to ninth-level warriors.
Ye Liuyun freed the twenty to thirty martial practitioners from the Fairy Clan that he had captured.
Following their return to the Fairy Clan, Ye Liuyun carried out the poisoning and massacre of the Fairy Clan’s elders and disciples.
At this moment, the Fairy Clan was plagued by internal and external troubles.
When Ye Liuyun’s troops marched in initially, they mistook his strategy as a desperate attack.
However, at this moment, Ye Liuyun’s poisoning was swiftly killing off a great number of their expert disciples.
Liang Xue took this opportunity to poison a few expert disciples of the Fairy Clan.
During that period, many of the Fairy Clan’s martial practitioners displayed symptoms of poisoning, and yet no one could find out what was the cause.
The Fairy Clan elders convened to devise a strategy to deal with the pressing issue.
"This is too much! It must be Ye Liuyun’s doing. How dare he resort to such despicable tricks!” an elder with a hot temper denounced in rage.
Recently, many expert disciples and some elders within the Fairy Clan have been poisoned to death and it saddened them.
“Although the Fairy Clan still has an abundance of resources reserve, some of the commonly used items are scarce. If this goes on, the Fairy Clan probably won’t be able to hold on!”
" Not only no one wants to provide us with resources. We can’t even deliver to our men our resources at hand."
"How about the supplies sent from the foreign race battlefield?”
“Aside from Fairy Clan disciples, no one can transport anything back to the Fairy Clan base!"
"This is how Ye Liuyun is retaliating against us. He’s trying to trap us here to our death!”
"Let’s fight! Without giving them some hard blows, they will think that we’re a pushover!”
The majority of the Fairy Clan elders ultimately decided to show Ye Liuyun their true strength, hoping it would force him to concede.
In an attempt to prevent Ye Liuyun from ambushing their martial practitioners, the First Elder sent five elders of intermediate ninth level to reside and take guard at the border city.
Ye Liuyun then uses some of the Fairy Clan’s disciples under his control to rush to that city and poison its residents while circulating rumours that these elders were the ones spreading the poison.
Already disgruntled with the decisions made by the Fairy Clan elders regarding the scarcity of resources, the disciples of the tribe were now even more enraged by the elders.
Ye Liuyun left the foreign race battleground accompanied by ten intermediate ninth-level guards. Together with Yu Xiaofeng, they set out to the Fairy Clan’s base from all directions.
At the same time, Ye Tiandao led his men to retreat and returned to Regalty.
This wasn’t only limited to the Expert Battlefield. The same goes for the primary battlefield, where all the soldiers received notice to head back to the Eastcloud Dynasty for preparations.
Ye Liuyun was merely feigning intimidation, trying to test the patience of the Fairy clan. By applying pressure on them, he wanted to see if they would make any mistakes. Once they did, he would have a chance to wipe out more experts of the Fairy clan.
Ye Liuyun would not start a battle with the Fairy Clan lightly. However, as long as the Fairy Clan did not take any major action against him, he would maintain his position.
Ideally, the Fairy clan would engage in a stalemate with him, fighting on a small scale. This way, he could whittle down their strength, slowly but surely.
The Fairy clan was unsure whether Ye Liuyun was genuinely preparing for war or just bluffing. However, they didn’t dare risk it. Their only option was to mobilize their martial practitioners to continue residing in the frontier cities to keep watch.
However, their disciples and martial practitioners were not enthusiastic about this plan.
This was because martial artists returning from the battlefield spread the news that the Fairy Clan elders had repeatedly sent instructions to attack Ye Liuyun and each attack had caused great casualties to the Fairy Clan members. All because the elders of the Fairy Clan coveted Ye Liuyun’s treasure.
The rational Fairy clan members opposed this justification for war. Many of them even began to criticise the elders’ decisions.
The Fairy Clan elders resorted to punishing a few rebels to intimidate the others and stop their uprising. However, dissatisfaction continued to spread among them.
Furthermore, with the Fairy Clan’s incapability to fix their resource shortage issue on top of the continual poisoning, the clan’s members began to panic.
Many Fairy clan members chose to go to the foreign race battleground to kill foreign races to help rectify the resource shortfall issues and prevent being poisoned.
However, once they arrived at the foreign race battlefield, they did not feel welcomed by the expert martial practitioners. Instead, they were being ambushed and hunted down by them.
Ye Liuyun wasn’t the only one targeting the Fairy Clan. The Central Dynasty seized the opportunity to attack the Fairy Clan. They began their mission to clean up the Fairy Clan martial practitioners in the Central Region.
When the captain of the hunting squad, Jing Yong, disappeared, the Prince of God suspected it was the work of the Fairy Clan. Because only the Fairy Clan has the ability to eliminate Jing Yong.
So, the Central Dynasty began to deploy people throughout the territory to kill off any Fairy Clan martial practitioners to avenge him. At the same time, they disseminated various negative news about the Fairy Clan’s misdeeds.
The Fairy Clan’s reputation has entirely eroded in the hearts of numerous martial practitioners. They only realised how bad the Fairy Clan’s reputation was when it was too late.
The immense pressure began to take its toll on the Fairy Clan’s Elders.
Ye Liuyun was merely a part of their many problems. The Central Dynasty’s effect on the Fairy Clan was rather significant. Besides, The Central Dynasty had clamped down the Conveyor Formation, stopping the Fairy Clan from entering or exiting the place.
Many of the Fairy Clan Expert were stranded. Hence, they could only flee to the central region with no way of calling for backup help.
Under the tremendous stress of internal and external problems, the Fairy Clan was eager to resolve Ye Liuyun’s issue quickly.
"Wait until Ye Liuyun arrives at Klanning City and you shall seize the opportunity to make your move!"
The Fairy Clan elder had given instructions to the five dispatched elders of the advanced ninth level.
However, after waiting for more than twenty days, there was no news of Ye Liuyun arriving at Klanning City.
In reality, Ye Liuyun had already entered Klanning City discreetly.
Upon entering, he went straight to the barracks to drop off Yu Xiaofeng and the accompanied formidable personnel before he headed to the Fairy Clan’s City.
Ye Liuyun’s army did not attack the city, they merely stationed themselves outside the city walls and blocked off all roads leading to the Fairy Clan region.
When the five elders from the Fairy Clan arrived, they arrogantly left the city gates wide open.
Their message was clear. They would wipe out anyone who dared to challenge them.
They believed that if the troops intended to take over the city, the city gates would not stop them either way.
Hence, Ye Liuyun could easily enter the city.
