Chapter 1062: Not Enough Understanding
Feng Xiaoxiao still doesn't know that Ye Liuyun's Space World contains many beasts.
He only saw Ye Liuyun and Fire Dance not moving, and thought they would rely on the Formation to hold out.
"How about I wear the Invisibility Cloak and destroy their Warships?" Fire Dance suggested.
Ye Liuyun shook his head again.
"No need! They still don't understand me enough!"
While speaking, Ye Liuyun quietly released a duplicate cloaked in the Invisibility Cloak.
Then, using void translocation, he sent it into the interior of a Warship.
Ye Liuyun's duplicate and Poison Technique have never been exposed, so the opponent certainly doesn't know them; thus he let the duplicate poison directly.
"What should we do? We have to do something."
Fire Dance, seeing Ye Liuyun take no action, grew anxious; a Warship had already moved to the front of the formation and would soon launch an attack, while Ye Liuyun was still observing without responding.
"We do nothing and wait!"
Ye Liuyun lifted the corner of his mouth, released a Skeleton Puppet, and held a Soul Banner in his hand.
"Isn't the Soul Banner useless?" Fire Dance asked, puzzled.
"It will be useful soon!" Ye Liuyun said firmly, leaving no doubt.
"Looks like he already has a plan!" Fire Dance saw Ye Liuyun's expression and thought he had thought of something.
"You prepare to take the beasts into battle! I'll handle those Warships and troops."
After Ye Liuyun finished arranging, he activated the Formation, covering them all. This way, the outside couldn't see inside, while they could see the outside movements.
He also released all beasts above the respect rank, handing them to Fire Dance for battle assignments.
Feng Xiaoxiao, seeing so many high‑rank beasts, felt a little relieved, as if hope returned.
He became even more curious about Ye Liuyun.
At this moment Ye Liuyun was like a commander as steady as a general, showing no panic at all.
And he never expected Ye Liuyun to carry so much power with him.
Fire Dance also didn't guess how he would deal with those Warships and soldiers, but Fire Dance's trust in Ye Liuyun was absolute. So she began assigning tasks, arranging target assignments for the beasts one by one.
"They probably still have ambushes; don't send all the beasts out at once!" Ye Liuyun reminded Fire Dance.
The opponent left an opening for them to escape, which means there must be ambushes farther away.
Once fighting breaks out and reinforcements arrive, Ye Liuyun's side also needs reserve forces.
Fire Dance didn't understand battle formations, but after Ye Liuyun reminded her, she adjusted immediately.
She kept the Unicorn, Dragon Eagle, and ten beasts in reserve for battle.
Ye Liuyun kept using void translocation to shift the duplicate.
Each time the duplicate entered a Warship, it began to spread poison, killing everyone aboard.
"Ugh, ugh!"
The attack horn sounded, yet only two Warships launched an assault.
Those were the Warships whose duplicates hadn't had time to poison yet.
Ye Liuyun was unhurried, dealing with them one by one.
The two Warships could not break through the Formation's defense for a while.
Seeing the other Warships idle, the commander of the great army immediately sent people to investigate. Those sent were instantly poisoned and never returned.
In that short time, a third Warship that had been attacking the Formation went silent!
"What's happening? Don't send them one by one; send a team to each Warship to scout!"
The commander also sensed something was wrong.
Yet the men he sent hadn't returned, and another Warship fell silent as well.
All the people outside were bewildered.
Suddenly, a Warship vanished!
Then the second, after a while the third…
Inside the remaining Warships the air was filled with poison gas, and only the duplicate could enter.
So he calmly entered, collected the corpses, and then took the Warships away as well.
"Quick, send people to protect the Warships!"
The opponent also immediately dispatched people to guard the Warships.
But those who entered never came out again. The remaining who dared not enter, guarding outside, could not detect the duplicate cloaked in the Invisibility Cloak.
Thus the Warships kept disappearing until none were left.
Immediately, a large number of soldiers collapsed, their bodies emitting black smoke.
"Poison gas!"
The opponent also realized it was poison gas, but it was already too late.
Several of their formations began to lose people one after another, and the numbers kept rising.
"Take action!"
At this moment Ye Liuyun also ordered Fire Dance and the others to act.
He himself drew the Vajra Divine Bow, began shooting the early‑stage Earth Sovereign strongmen, then pulled their Souls and started a Soul Search.
"So the Crown Prince allied with several powerful Princes!"
With a single Soul Search, Ye Liuyun uncovered the truth!
Meanwhile, the duplicate immediately captured some poisoned captives, stored them in a Storage Ring, detoxified them, and then marked them with Slave Seals.
Even the Leader of that army was poisoned by the duplicate and then seized.
"Prince Jing'an, Prince Lanling, Prince Fire..." Ye Liuyun recorded all the information he had gathered.
Capture two more venerable-rank captives!
Ye Liuyun gave Huo Wu an order.
Huo Wu wounded two Earth Sovereign experts and handed them to Ye Liuyun; Ye Liuyun captured them, implanted slave seals, and stored them in his storage ring.
Since these princes dare to besiege him, he must be ready to pay the price; for Ye Liuyun to mobilize troops, he needs a solid pretext—he must keep these people as evidence.
Soon the battle turned one-sided; the venerables' cultivation was generally lower than the ferocious beasts', and with Huo Wu, a seventh-layer Earth Sovereign, they swiftly annihilated the foes and took two captives.
His clone also succeeded among the soldiers, capturing a live prisoner and poisoning the whole army.
He gathered all the materials, letting none go to waste.
The poisoning came too suddenly; they reacted slowly, so reinforcements were delayed—by the time the two relief forces arrived, Ye Liuyun had already finished cleaning the battlefield.
The two relief forces totaled over six thousand, including nearly thirty venerable martial cultivators.
They hesitated, then launched an attack.
They didn't use warships this time; they swarmed forward, hoping to overwhelm the formation with numbers.
Ye Liuyun used the same tactic, sending his clone among them to administer poison.
He even omitted the ferocious beasts' fight—some venerable experts succumbed to poison outright.
When the survivors tried to flee, Huo Wu led the ferocious beasts out to chase them down, capturing many prisoners.
Whenever the Skeleton Puppet saw a venerable expert fall, it waved the Soul Banner to snatch the yin soul; Ye Liuyun wanted none of the ordinary soldiers' souls.
