Chapter 1238: Entry Test
War consumes massive supplies, and once an army loses supply support, defeat is inevitable.
Ye Liuyun thinks that if those supplies are seized, the Foreign Tribe army won't hold out long and will soon retreat.
This is still worth the risk for him.
"Taking you in and out of the camp isn't difficult. However, those Foreign Tribe who manage supplies are all at the early stage of the Tianzun Realm, and the Demon Cultivator Team Leader in charge of distribution is also at the Tianzun Realm, so I'm afraid…" The Demon Cultivators stopped speaking at that point.
Obviously they doubt Ye Liuyun's strength, unable to defeat those Foreign Tribe and the Demon Cultivator Team Leader.
"Dealing with Demon Cultivators is simple. Even if they're Tianzun Realm strongmen, I just need a bit more time! Over there, how many Demon Cultivator leaders are at the Tianzun Realm? How many Foreign Tribe manage supplies?"
Ye Liuyun plans to use Demon Cultivators to handle the Foreign Tribe.
"We commonly encounter three Demon Cultivator leaders. There are five Foreign Tribe of the Tianzun Realm who manage supplies, each responsible for different goods!" a Demon Cultivator replied.
"That happens to be just enough!" Ye Liuyun calculated, adding Xiao Lanbing and Xuanwu, making five, enough to deal with those Foreign Tribe.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun followed the supply team back to the command headquarters.
On the way, he discussed details with the Demon Cultivators to ensure each step is safe.
Although Ye Liuyun has the Black Tower for teleportation, he doesn't want anyone to see.
So even if he uses the Black Tower to teleport, it must be done without being discovered.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun doesn't want to use the Black Tower. He wants to see if he can escape the Foreign Tribe's occupied zone without its aid.
Upon reaching the Foreign Tribe's forward camp, the first hurdle Ye Liuyun must pass is entering the camp.
The guard at the camp gate is a Foreign Tribe leader, not a human Demon Cultivator.
This Foreign Tribe leader is very familiar with the supply team; upon seeing Ye Liuyun, he immediately recognized he wasn't one of them.
Moreover, seeing the Corpse Demons surrounding Ye Liuyun roar, he became immediately wary.
"Ma Teng, who is this person?" the Foreign Tribe leader asked the Team Leader of their group.
"Reply, sir, this person is an old fellow from my hometown; he got separated and was captured during the war between the two armies. When I came to deliver supplies, I happened to find him about to be executed, so I rescued him."
"He is willing to join us. That's why I brought him over. In a moment I'll take him to see the leader so he can absorb the Magic Crystal!"
The Magic Crystal Ma Teng mentions is actually one tainted with evil aura.
Once a Demon Cultivator absorbs such a Magic Crystal, they will take in the Foreign Tribe's evil aura and become a slave of the Alien Evil Artifact.
"Taking a person is no issue, but are you sure he's truly defecting to us?" the Foreign Tribe asked Ma Teng.
"Of course. Moreover, I will watch him absorb the Magic Crystal!" Ma Teng replied with a forced smile.
Ye Liuyun also began to act, following Ma Teng's stance, expressing sincere loyalty to the Foreign Tribe.
The Foreign Tribe was satisfied and nodded, but remained cautious, not being deceived by Ye Liuyun's performance.
"I happen to have a Magic Crystal here; if you absorb it now, I will trust you! Otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"
The Foreign Tribe leader directly produced a Magic Crystal and tossed it to Ye Liuyun.
Ma Teng was stunned. This was something he hadn't anticipated.
Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun unhesitatingly began to absorb it and quickly drained the Magic Crystal completely.
"Ha ha! Good, welcome you!" the Foreign Tribe leader said, waving his hand and letting Ye Liuyun in.
The reaction of the evil aura still requires some time.
Having seen Ye Liuyun absorb the Magic Crystal, he can be at ease and doesn't need to wait further.
Thus, Ye Liuyun successfully infiltrated the Foreign Tribe's frontline army command headquarters.
"Sir, after you absorb that Magic Crystal, will there be any adverse reactions?" Ma Teng asked Ye Liuyun cautiously.
The adverse reaction he refers to is the presence of evil aura in the body, which could be controlled by the Foreign Tribe.
"No!" Ye Liuyun didn't need to explain further; he just wanted to assure him.
Upon hearing this, Ma Teng relaxed.
"Next, we will return to deliver orders and will meet a Tianzun Realm Demon Cultivator leader," Ma Teng reminded Ye Liuyun.
"Fine. We'll try to stall as much as possible; the rest is up to you!" Ye Liuyun prepared to use Nine Nether Prelude to subdue the Tianzun Realm Demon Cultivator.
His Nine Nether Prelude works on any Demon Race or Demon Cultivator regardless of realm; only subduing higher‑realm Demon Cultivators takes slightly longer.
"Sir, we have returned!" Ma Teng led Ye Liuyun to a tent outside, shouting inside.
"Come in!" a deep male voice called from inside.
Ma Teng gave Ye Liuyun a signal and led him into the tent.
"Huh? Who is this?" a Tianzun Realm Demon Cultivator inside asked upon seeing Ye Liuyun, without mentioning the supply mission first.
"Reply, sir, this is a fellow from my hometown…" Ma Teng, following the prior arrangement with Ye Liuyun, began to fabricate, trying to stall.
Ye Liuyun used his Soul to play the Nine Nether Prelude, beginning to affect his Soul.
At the same time, he cooperated with Ma Teng, presenting many Magic Crystals as tribute to the Demon Cultivator leader.
"Alright, then you can follow Ma Teng!" after hearing about his identity, the leader accepted the gift and had no reason to refuse.
"Thank you, sir!" Ye Liuyun thanked him.
Seeing that the Nine Nether Prelude hadn't taken effect yet, Ye Liuyun continued to flatter the Demon Cultivator.
"Actually I have another treasure, perhaps you'd be interested! After I was captured I hid it away. In the hurry earlier I didn't manage to bring it out…" Ye Liuyun pretended regret.
Ye Liuyun feigned regret.
At this moment, the Demon Cultivator leader also felt his Soul was a bit strange, placing his hand on his head.
But the treasure Ye Liuyun mentioned also caught his attention, so for a moment he didn't think further.
"What treasure? Where did you hide it?" he asked eagerly.
The Demon Cultivators in the Foreign Tribe army usually receive very little cultivation resources, so they are certainly interested in such side income.
However, this split self is being affected by the Nine Nether Prelude even faster.
Ye Liuyun hadn't waited for his reply when he asked again: "Did you hear any music?"
Ye Liuyun and Ma Teng both knew that the Nine Nether Prelude was about to take effect.
But they still put on a clueless look and replied, "What tune? We didn't hear anything!"
"You didn't hear it? Could I be hallucinating?"
That Demon Cultivator leader immediately used the power of the Soul again to scan the surroundings.
But it seemed that nobody else had heard it either.
