Chapter 1241: Collective Rebellion

In the Foreign Tribe army where Ye Liuyun is, there are over ten thousand Demon Cultivators. Ye Liuyun hides at the rear of the formation, trying to stall.

When the Foreign Tribe checks him, his Nine Nether Prelude has already taken effect.

At this moment all Demon Cultivators are already following Ye Liuyun's lead.

However, Ye Liuyun hasn't given them orders yet, so they are still standing in place.

A Tianzun Realm Foreign Tribe, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, was startled.

"Are you Ye Liuyun?" the Foreign Tribe probed, asking Ye Liuyun with Divine Sense.

"This is not something you should ask. Asking it means death!" Ye Liuyun looked at him, a strange smile curling his lips.

The Foreign Tribe instantly became alert, hands placed on his chest, ready to strike at any moment.

Suddenly, a beast claw pierced through his back, the claw still clutching his Primordial Core.

Without the Primordial Core, that Foreign Tribe strongman, no matter how powerful, is no match for Xuanwu.

Xuanwu's other hand also engaged, pulling both sides, tearing that Foreign Tribe in half.

This sudden anomaly startled all the Foreign Tribe. Those quick to react immediately roared, rallying other Foreign Tribe members and Corpse Demons to attack Ye Liuyun.

However, before they could act, the Demon Cultivators beside them began to strike them.

In terms of numbers, the Foreign Tribe is far fewer than the Demon Cultivators. They are simply no match. As soon as they move, the Foreign Tribe present are slaughtered to near extinction.

At this point, the Foreign Tribe Leader finally reacts, ordering all Corpse Demons to kill the Demon Cultivators.

However, those Corpse Demons usually obey the Demon Cultivators' commands; now, being suddenly told to kill them, their already slow reaction becomes even more delayed.

Corpse Demons close to the Demon Cultivators, almost all hadn't reacted before being slain by the Demon Cultivators' first strike.

By the time the Corpse Demons react, Ye Liuyun has already commanded all Demon Cultivators to advance toward the central army's main camp.

He released the Magic Vine, the Sealing Demon Tablet, and the Evil Dragon.

Simultaneously he sent a Transmission Voice to Qin Peng: "Make your move! Inform the army that all Demon Cultivators of this Foreign Tribe army are our own."

In fact, when he released the Evil Dragon, Qin Peng had already heard its howl and knew Ye Liuyun had acted early.

But the timing was just right, not too early.

He has already ordered the army to advance into the Foreign Tribe's camp.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's message, Qin Peng was even more delighted. He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to have turned all the Demon Cultivators here. Their battle would thus become much easier.

He immediately transmitted the order, prompting the soldiers to accelerate the attack.

The brand‑new fleet of two hundred thousand soldiers, comprising several thousand warships of all sizes, formed the main force attacking the main camp, charging at the front.

"Leave twenty thousand Corpse Demons to deal with those traitors; everyone else, go meet the enemy."

The Leader of this Foreign Tribe army did not panic. After issuing the command, he immediately sought aid from two nearby Foreign Tribe armies.

Then he remained seated inside the main tent, waiting for Ye Liuyun to lead the Demon Cultivators to kill him.

The two Foreign Tribe armies adjacent to him each dispatched supply units, but en route they were intercepted by forces led by the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince.

Thus the reinforcements they awaited never arrived.

Soon after, that Foreign Tribe Leader could no longer sit still.

Because their warships, as flimsy as paper, had already been battered by Qin Peng's fleet. Now Qin Peng's fleet is wildly bombarding his Corpse Demon army.

The Corpse Demon army is now gradually retreating toward the central army.

Ye Liuyun's Demon Cultivator force continues to close in on the central army.

When he learned that the reinforcements heading to him had met resistance, he realized the situation had far exceeded his expectations.

He immediately reported the situation to the forward camp, then, with his guard, left the tent, preparing for a fight to the death.

However, the Sealing Demon Tablet gave him no chance at all.

The moment he exposed himself, the Sealing Demon Tablet lunged forward, smashing him into pulp.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun, leading the Demon Cultivator army, was still fighting forward from the rear camp.

Ye Liuyun did not have the Magic Vine protect those Demon Cultivators; instead, he used the Magic Vine to clear the Corpse Demons from the rear camp first, then join the fray.

Because the Demon Cultivators under his control are tainted with evil aura and cannot be employed for major tasks, Ye Liuyun can only have them clash brutally with the Corpse Demons until they are completely eliminated.

This also spares him from having to deal with those Demon Cultivators after the battle ends.

The headquarters of the Foreign Tribe army, upon learning of the total defection of the Demon Cultivators, became even more wary of them.

Some Foreign Tribe members even suggested extracting the Demon Cultivators from the army and forming a separate force.

Others proposed using the Demon Cultivators as a death‑rush unit, letting them charge at the front only in battle, assigning them no duties otherwise.

For a moment, their opinions on handling the numerous Demon Cultivators in the army were inconsistent.

The overall Leader of the Foreign Tribe army could only temporarily set the dispute aside.

"First see how to deal with those front‑line troops! Supplies now are certainly too late. Should we let them hold on to death, or withdraw early."

The Leader of the Foreign Tribe army is a noble clad in silver scale armor.

He has a triangular head and a pair of sharp eagle eyes.

His name among the Foreign Tribe is Tuomu Hai, revered by them as a war‑god.

At this moment, being harassed by Ye Liuyun, he is riddled with headaches.

He never expected that Ye Liuyun alone could possess such power and cause so much trouble.

In the end, everyone's opinion was unanimous: withdraw the army early.

After years of fighting, their forces are actually not large; continuing to waste them fearlessly would only further deplete their army.

Taking advantage of the remaining resources, they can withdraw in order now, avoiding being relentlessly pursued by Emperor Xia's army.

In fact, Tuomu Hai had long decided to withdraw, but there is a golden‑scale‑armored royal present, and he must give the royal face.

This golden‑scale‑armored royal is the beloved son of a Prince of the Foreign Tribe, named Ba He Lei. Sending him here was meant for cultivation.

The golden‑scale‑armored Foreign Tribe naturally holds higher status than others; even though Tuomu Hai is the army's Leader, he must still consider Ba He Lei's opinion.

Right after Tuomu Hai announced the withdrawal, Ba He Lei stepped forward and shouted, "President, I want to go to the battlefield to meet Ye Liuyun! After such heavy losses, we absolutely cannot let him go unpunished!"

"..."

If it were anyone else, Tuomu Hai would have scolded them long ago!

The person who can force a withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of troops—can someone like you, who hasn't even reached the Tianzun Realm, deal with him?

But he couldn't say those words.
