Chapter 2198: Chapter 2198 Same Tricks
Ye Liuyun, along with only a few martial experts and Black-Armoured Guards, as well as people like Liang Xue, came again to the battlefield, and began the tough training in fights against foreign races and corpse demons.
The Revival Dynasty issued a warrant for their arrest throughout the territory, and martial experts were dispatched everywhere for a rigorous investigation.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun and his companions would also not venture during this period. Anyway, they had nothing to do, so they came to the battlefield to get some training.
The fight between Ye Liuyun and the Dynasty had led to a decrease in the number of martial practitioners in the foreign race battlefield. So naturally, he had to compensate for this by seizing the opportunity to kill more of the foreign races.
Also, he himself had no chance to engage in direct combat recently and needed to get some training to boost his capabilities.
In this battle against foreign races and corpse demons, he specifically chose to fight with eighth-realms, forcing out his own potential.
And during the fight, he didn’t use any divine soul or power of bloodline, only advanced energy, spatial force, and sword intention to challenge the higher ranks.
After establishing a conveyor formation in Mortar City, Wu Kun was sent to the southern port to set up another formation, preparing to connect all the defense positions of these armies.
The Revival Dynasty fought a losing battle and returned empty-handed, completely fooled by Ye Liuyun.
Despite deploying a large amount of manpower and resources, they could not find him. Naturally, their anger would vent on some major powers.
At the same time, they didn’t want to send their own people for the missions in the foreign race battlefield, they could only oppress other powers, making the resistance consciousness more obvious everywhere.
A few families followed Ye Liuyun’s example of resistance, but all ended in failure.
His demonstration was gradually beginning to take effect, weakening the control of the Dynasty in the central region.
In the end, for the martial practitioners dispatched to the battlefield, the Dynasty sent their own men to fill half of them in order to make up for the shortage.
The praetorians, after local investigations and inquiries, eventually pointed the finger of suspicion at Ye Liuyun. After all, many people have seen the Dark Legion, which was quite recognizable.
They all believed that, although it wasn’t Ye Liuyun himself who came over, he definitely sent a large army. However, as soon as the war was over, they retreated.
To take revenge on Ye Liuyun, the Revival Dynasty also sent many men and hid some expert in the spatial world, rushing to Eastcloud Dynasty through the battlefield.
However, as soon as they exited from the conveyor formation of the regalty, they were controlled by the soul cultivators, which forced them to sign a soul contract swearing loyalty to the Eastcloud Dynasty. The martial experts they brought over were all captured.
Now, this conveyor formation was heavily guarded. Soul contracts of every martial practitioners passing by were checked one by one, and none was let off in order to prevent spies or revenge from the Revival Dynasty.
Mo Xiaotian, unable to do anything, organized another boat building trip to cross the Eastern Endless Sea. The result was the same; they were blocked by monsters and all sank.
"Those monsters really do hold grudges, they’re still not over it." Ye Liuyun chuckled to himself.
This provoked Mo Xiaotian to want to send the men to bypass it from the Deliverance Hill. But they persuaded him not to.
"Your Majesty, revenge is a dish best served cold!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The time and resources it will take for the army to pass from the Deliverance Hill would be too wasteful. It’s better to wait for an opportunity."
Mo Xiaotian was fuming with rage, "Wait for an opportunity? How should I wait? Tell me now!"
"It’s said that Ye Liuyun started from the south. The next time we cross the Endless Sea, we might as well start from there."
Mo Xiaotian nodded in agreement. The Eastern Endless Sea was too tricky recently, with sea monsters holding grudges against him, he could only consider the south as his next option.
"Every time Ye Liuyun’s men come over, they must pass through the foreign race battlefield. We should deploy more experts to guard closely there.
All martial practitioners from the east who enter the central region should be captured and soul-searched. Like them, we should stay on our toes and not let a single person slip through."
This finally reminded Mo Xiaotian.
Immediately, he dispatched several hundred martial practitioners, distributed across three expert battlefields.
Since the battle between the Fairy Clan and the Revival Dynasty had already reached a stage of ceasefire, the foreign race battlefields began to gradually open to early-ninth-realms. Thus, the people they sent in had that level of cultivation at maximum.
Aside from monitoring passing martial practitioners during their daily duties, when idle, these people would take turns to fight foreign races in exchange for cultivation resources.
They conducted their activities very discreetly, rarely taking action against human martial practitioners, trying their best to hide themselves. They assumed their ambush to be highly subtle, unlikely to be detected by others.
However, Ye Liuyun had already entered the battlefield one step ahead. The sudden influx of martial practitioners from the central immediately aroused his suspicion.
"When did people from the central region become so proactive in exterminating the aliens? And they came in droves!"
Ye Liuyun secretly followed them, taking the opportunity to search their souls in the midst of their battles. These people all carried soul defense relics, but they couldn’t block Ye Liuyun and his clone’s practice strikes at this moment.
The power of their two souls was quite formidable among the immortal realm martial practitioners.
After understanding these people’s intent, Ye Liuyun immediately killed them. He then let his clone transform into the image of one of them, impersonating them, mixing in with the central martial practitioners to seek information.
He continued leading his men to kill foreign races and practice, without wasting any time.
Not until Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang received the news that the Revival Dynasty had dispatched 5,000 praetorian to rush to the southern region, and at the same time, mobilized a huge army of 100,000 from the northern region towards the same direction
After discussing with Song An, Ye Liuyun both believed that the Dynasty intended to cross the Endless Sea from the southern region.
"No problem, the conveyor formation in the southern region has been completed, and I will also send some experts to support there."
Ye Liuyun immediately dispatched the 600 ninth-realms who he had subdued last time to set off from the regalty and teleport to the southern region to assist in defense.
Yu Xiaofeng also personally led a portion of higher-realm soldiers conscripted from the East and hurried to the South for deployment.
Masses of crystal cannons and spirit crystal resources incessantly poured into the south, all prepared to impede the landing.
"It’s time for us to take action! While they are busy crossing the river, we will cause trouble in their north!" Song An proposed.
Thus, Ye Liuyun donned his Concealcape, and his clone was kept into the spatial world.
The clone asked for leave from the leader in the battlefield, expressing his need to return to the central region.
Like this, with the use of Phantom Illusion, Ye Liuyun once again infiltrated the Revival Dynasty, pretending to be one of its martial practitioners.
After entering, he repeatedly altered his appearance, concealing his whereabouts through different conveyor formations, and finally arrived at the destination selected in advance by Song An, a city in the northeast – Perch City.
Upon arrival, he resorted to the same trick again. He took control of the City Lord Manor, transformed himself into the image of the City Lord, and then slowly started expanding around, gradually teleporting his army over.
He cultivated his sphere of influence, recruited soldiers in secret, dispatched the Black-Armored guards, and rounded up the martial experts.
During this period, the Revival Dynasty was preoccupied with the southern expedition and didn’t have time to manage these trivial matters regarding the City Lord’s Manor.
This time, the Dynasty mobilized an army of 100,000 warriors, equipped with 5,000 praetorian troops, launching another large-scale attack.
However, the number of ferry boats was limited. This time, they only built six large ships, which could only ferry over approximately 4,000 people at a time.
