Chapter 1223: Feint East, Strike West

As for the Yun Clan's blocking of the Secret Realm entrance, Ye Liuyun was not in a hurry.

He had just broken through his realm and was not eager to leave.

In this world, the Spiritual Stone Vein resources are especially abundant.

Since they're already here, not gathering more would be a loss.

Ye Liuyun began searching across the continent. At first, he even found three unclaimed veins, but later such unclaimed veins became rare.

"Then let's study the Yun Clan's veins. We've already collected enough anyway. Grab their vein, make a feint, and then withdraw!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun began investigating the Yun Clan's veins.

He didn't rush to act; instead, he first gathered information on over thirty Yun Clan veins and, using the Transmission Black Tower, recorded their coordinates.

Each Yun Clan vein is guarded by a Tianzun Realm strongman, and there are even more Earth Sovereign Realm Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun estimated that almost every battle would require him to use all his strength to have a chance, and he must retreat after the fight.

Even if a vein can't be fully mined, he must leave quickly; otherwise, if reinforcements from surrounding veins block him, escaping later will be troublesome.

Ye Liuyun immediately explained the situation to everyone in the Space World, assigned tasks, and had them prepare for swift, decisive battles.

Then they rushed to the first target. This vein was relatively remote and lacked surrounding resources, so Ye Liuyun planned to use it to practice.

Xuanwu and Xiao Lanbing, invisible, struck and eliminated the strongest guardian of the vein.

The remaining Martial Cultivators were also easy to deal with.

The ferocious beasts and monster beasts fought with great relish.

When the battle ended, Ye Liuyun immediately ordered everyone to mine the vein at full force.

At this time, the Yun Clan received word and began sending reinforcements.

Yun Mengyi, after receiving the news, guessed it must be Ye Liuyun attacking the vein and silently worried for him.

However, before the Yun Clan's reinforcements arrived, they received another report that another vein had also been attacked.

"How many of them came! A bunch of clownish beast tamers!" Clan Chief Yun Tianhao slammed the table, berated, and mobilized nearby vein guardians for support.

They learned that the main attacking force consisted of ferocious beasts.

But soon they received word that Ye Liuyun, taking advantage of the Martial Cultivators going to support those veins, had seized several veins whose strongmen had left, all while the strongmen were away.

Those strongmen couldn't attend to both fronts. In several instances, as soon as a strongman left, Ye Liuyun and his men killed his return and kept hollowing the vein.

"How is this possible?" the Yun Clan's Clan Chief and Elders exclaimed in shock.

The Yun Clan was in complete disarray.

The vein strongmen were exhausted rushing to reinforce, yet often before they arrived, their own veins encountered trouble again.

"All combat‑ready Martial Cultivators should be dispatched; these outsiders are accompanied by many ferocious beasts, we must prepare full defense."

At the Clan Chief's command, especially the Tianzun Realm Martial Cultivators, immediately rushed to each vein.

Then the Clan Chief promptly used Transmission Talisman to request aid from other great families.

They didn't know how many outsiders had arrived, mistakenly thinking that external Martial Cultivators were launching a massive attack.

The Yun Clan's Earth Sovereign Realm Martial Cultivators were numerous, requiring longer assembly time, thus forming the second wave to the veins.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had already used the Transmission Black Tower to return near the Yun Clan, monitoring their troop movements.

"Large numbers of Earth Sovereign Realm Martial Cultivators!"

Ye Liuyun's mouth curved upward as he chased after a massive airship.

Inside were several hundred Earth Sovereign Realm Martial Cultivators and many Zao Hua Realm disciples.

"Huo Wu, it's your turn!"

After following for a while, Ye Liuyun released Huo Wu, gave her the Invisibility Cloak, and then stopped to set up the Formation Flag.

Huo Wu then closely followed the Warship, using illusion to affect the ship's pilot.

The Martial Cultivators on the ship continued discussing the vein, with few paying attention to the ship's formation.

The ship circled in the sky before descending into the Formation Ye Liuyun had set.

Other Martial Cultivators only then realized their Warship had landed and then taken off again.

When the ship entered the Formation, several fire dragons burst out and bombarded the ship.

Their aerial transmission, unlike Warships, focuses on speed with little defense, so the ship was quickly shattered and could no longer fly.

"Charge out!"

The Martial Cultivators inside the ship rushed out en masse to avoid being burned inside.

But the result was the same: countless fire dragons attacked them, and then Ye Liuyun arrived with monster beasts to strike.

These Earth Sovereign Realm Martial Cultivators could not withstand the attacks of Xiao Lanbing and Xuanwu.

They moved as if in an uninhabited realm; with a gesture they could dispatch opponents. Most of the time they were responsible for protecting others' safety.

Ye Liuyun and the many monster beasts fought with great vigor.

In a few days, the monster beasts and ferocious beasts amassed plenty of food and core pills; Ye Liuyun's Soul Banner also gained many Yin Souls.

And just as Ye Liuyun was enjoying battling with the ferocious beasts, Magic Vine sent him a message: "Hungry!"

"Right, we forgot about it! Find a vein and let it try, see if it can handle Tianzun Realm Martial Cultivators!"

Ye Liuyun thought of this and immediately ordered everyone to clear the battlefield, then used the Transmission Black Tower to reach a new vein.

The vein's guards here were already in strict formation; three Tianzun Realm strongmen stood guard.

"These reinforcements arrived quickly!"

Ye Liuyun, thinking this, planted the Magic Vine seed underground.

The Magic Vine, likely starved, burst from the ground toward the three Tianzun Realm Martial Cultivators. This time it barely concealed itself, scattering soil and stones.

Those three strongmen, unaware of what rose from below, immediately launched an attack,

"Is it a kind of python ferocious beast?" one Martial Cultivator asked, confirming with the other two.

But then, around them, vines of the Magic Vine appeared, each vine covered with large serrated mouths, and the mouths lunged at them.

"What is this?"

"A monster!"

Not only around them, but also around the other guards, Magic Vines appeared.

Ye Liuyun watched as the Magic Vine sucked those three Tianzun Realm experts dry into corpses.

"So strong!"

Ye Liuyun never expected that after not seeing it for a while, the Magic Vine had become this strong.
