Chapter 2149: Chapter 2149 Forced to Compromise
At this moment, the Fairy Clan was in a state of disorder.
Everyone was busy with their own survival and had no time to send out forces to hunt down an invisible foreign race.
They formed battle formations and advanced relentlessly, killing anyone they encountered.
Many of the Clan’s experts suffered heavy losses right after they made their move. They were eradicated by these foreign races using coordinated attack tactics.
In the end, only when several core elders and The Mighty made their move did they manage to annihilate these enemies.
However, they also suffered heavy casualties this time. Over 50 ninth-realm elders were killed, and quite a few seventh to eighth-realm elite disciples also sacrificed.
These foreign races appeared precisely in the dwellings of some of the experts and elite, from which there was no escape.
Many Fairy martial practitioners did not expect that these foreign races, most of which were eighth-realms, could display such great power.
The elders, looking at their devastated residence, were also deeply worried.
"How did these foreign races come here?" The core elders also started an investigation, but no one could explain clearly.
Even the one who first discovered Ye Liuyun had also died at the hands of these foreign races.
In the end, the Fairy Clan could only attribute this incident to a surprise attack by the foreign races.
The Clan leader, Lin Tianqi, gathered all the core elders together and said to the First Elder,
"Lian Hui, the Fairy Clan is faced with troubles both inside and out right now! We should seek reconciliation wherever possible. It’s okay for us to suffer a little setback for the time being. Let’s stabilize the internal situation of the Clan first!"
Lin Tianqi had been in seclusion for many years and was not longer involved in the daily affairs of the Clan.
This time that they were agitated by the alien races. After figuring out the situation, a decision was made to calm the internal tensions first, then unite against the external threats.
Even Yu Lianhui was feeling extremely guilty. The stealth attack had alarmed many of their experts. It was clear that they were growing discontent with the core elders.
"We are useless, leading the Clan into such a predicament!" He voluntarily apologized to the Clan leader.
"No worries, life is unpredictable. It’s normal to have ups and downs. Don’t take it too hard," Lin Tianqi comforted them and then continued to retreat for cultivation.
Yu Lianhui, with the other core elders, reconsidered their approach towards the Central Royal Management and the Eastcloud Dynasty.
They were forced to compromise, temporarily giving up on their desire for Ye Liuyun’s Crystal Demon.
"We’ll compromise to his demands. As long as they leave our territory and restore the supply to our trading association."
Yu Lianhui personally issued commands to the core elders assigned for frontline negotiations.
Meanwhile, two of them were sent out—one to negotiate with the Central Royal Management to recover their relationship, and another to the battlefield, indicating the Clan’s determination to resist the foreign races to the Alliance of Goddess.
In order to demonstrate their sincerity, the Clan even dispatched a total of 42 ninth-realms to join the real foreign race battlefield. They also dispatched 200 disciples each to the Beginner and Expert Battlefield.
Upon seeing the complete concession of the Clan, Ye Liuyun understood that he would gain nothing from further conflicts, so he had Yu Xiaofeng agree to their demands.
But they only withdrew their forces to Klanning, and had the business opened to the same place. If they needed supplies, they could make their purchase there.
Ye Liuyun temporarily stationed himself in Klanning, guarded by Zhang Heng with 20 ninth-realm Black Armored Guards.
Helian Xiu and Yu Xiaofeng, along with the stationed troops of the city, withdrew back to Ludarbay. Meanwhile, the 150,000 troops withdrawn from the Fairy Clan’s territory took over Klanning.
With the resumption of normality, the state of war was lifted.
Ye Tiandao, Lei Ming, and Dragon Lady once again returned to the battlefield of foreign races with their troops, continuing their training.
The reinforcements from the Dragon Clan and the Beast Mountain also returned to their respective tribes. Naturally, Ye Liuyun also gave them a good amount of resources to express his gratitude.
After sending them off, Ye Liuyun even went to thank Yao Hong personally.
If it hadn’t been for these allies helping them defend Klanning this time, he might not have achieved such a great victory.
"I really didn’t think that in such a short period of time, you had grown to this extent!" Yao Hong was also amazed at the speed of Ye Liuyun’s growth.
Especially the fact that a large number of ninth-realms suddenly appeared around Ye Liuyun, which also made these major forces worry that he would turn against them once he became powerful.
"It’s pure luck!" He also modestly replied.
"You won’t forget about us allies because you’re growing so fast, will you?" She also directly expressed her concerns.
Her words also reminded Ye Liuyun.
As his power strengthened, these forces could not help but worry.
Ye Liuyun immediately said, "I always thought that I was reaching above my station with the Scarlet Cardinal House when we decided to collaborate, which was why I didn’t ask to sign for a contract.
I understand your concerns. How about we take this chance to sign an equal contract?”
He brought this suggestion up, trying to ease her worry.
She said with a smile, "There’s no need! With your word, I am relieved. There’s no eternal cooperation in this world, so we don’t need to be bound by a contract!”
She realized she had overthought when she saw his sincerity. At least, he didn’t have that idea for now. As for the future, it was too far away for her to even consider.
Because next, it should be her turn to take a stand against the Fairy Clan.
Although he had temporarily reconciled with them, she would not let them off easily. She planned to capitalize on the Clan’s current weakness and deliver another blow.
If she signed any collaborative contract with him at this moment, he might suspect her of entangling him intentionally.
Through investigations on Ye Liuyun, she understood his personality - strongly against coercion and threats but greatly values loyalty and friendship.
She believed that if she ever ran into trouble, he would surely lend her a hand.
After pacifying the House, Ye Liuyun decided to personally visit the Dragon Clan and the Beast Mountain, and to state his intentions directly to the heads of the other major powers so as to prevent future misunderstandings.
Thus, he paid another visit to them and personally delivered some resources.
Initially, some elders of both sides shared similar suspicions. But upon seeing Ye Liuyun coming alone and delivering resources as a goodwill gesture, they eventually dropped their concerns.
The Dragon Clan’s Chief saw clearly and had never suspected Ye Liuyun.
As for the Beast King, since having the Moonflower Sisters by his side, he understood Ye Liuyun better, that he was not the kind to betray trust. Moreover, he had many friends residing in the Mountain, minimizing any worry.
After visiting these two major forces, Ye Liuyun returned to Northsky Sect.
The Sect was also worried, thinking Ye Liuyun might no longer value them. Given his immense power, they became an optional ally.
But upon Ye Liuyun’s return, he paid respect to his master first, brought a multitude of cultivation resources to them, and visited each of the elders. This earned him praise from the Sect elders for respecting his teacher and not forgetting his roots.
Therefore, they too put their doubts to rest.
