Chapter 1323: Different Mindsets

~7 min read 1,218 words

Inside the city, everyone is fighting desperately.

Only Demon Cultivators, upon seeing Imperial Family soldiers, immediately surrender.

Ye Liuyun, from afar, saw many soldiers escorting groups of Demon Cultivators out.

"Notify the Fourth Prince: no prisoners!" Ye Liuyun said calmly to Qin Peng.

Qin Peng immediately took out a Transmission Talisman and notified the Fourth Prince!

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and his group saw that those captives were slain outright.

Within the core of these Demon Cultivators, the aura of an Alien Evil Artifact has already permeated. If even one alien survives, they will obey it again.

Keeping them would require a large amount of manpower to guard.

These former tyrannical traitors have finally paid the price for their betrayal.

The Fourth Prince also understood Ye Liuyun's intention and ordered all the armies: "All enemies inside the city must be killed, no surrender accepted, no prisoners taken!"

The city interior has already been covered with a layer of blood. Every soldier fights while treading on blood, especially those who fall and get up again, looking like a blood man.

The Skeleton Puppet continues to wave the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, and has absorbed some Yin Souls from the later realms of the Heavenly Sovereign and Earth Sovereign.

Now the Yin Soul army inside the Soul Banner can be said to be invincible. Only the numbers are a bit low; the Yin Souls contained amount to less than one hundred thousand.

The stronger the Yin Soul's realm, the more space it requires, similar to Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun, from start to finish, calmly observed the battle's development, keeping an eye on Tuomu Hai's movements.

At this moment, Tuomu Hai has been forced back to the city center area, consolidating his forces.

Ye Liuyun knows he is about to prepare a full counterattack. Qin Peng also realized this and asked Ye Liuyun whether to warn them.

Ye Liuyun shook his head and did not warn the Fourth Prince and others, because he felt it would not significantly affect the outcome.

This is also a chance to train those Imperial Family Leaders. Ye Liuyun wants to see if they can make adjustments in advance.

The Fourth Prince and those Leaders indeed discovered this and prepared early. The Crown Prince even ordered a Warship to enter, bombarding first, disrupting the Foreign Tribe's gathering rhythm.

"The two princes' progress is quite notable!" Ye Liuyun praised.

"Hmm, looks like it's no longer our business!" Qin Peng sighed.

"That's even better! Achieving success and then withdrawing is the wise way to protect oneself!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

Qin Peng, hearing this, also nodded.

On their side they watched quietly, while Tuomu Hai led people, fighting desperately against the Imperial Family's great army.

Whenever he slays a batch of Imperial Family soldiers, another batch rushes up.

Even though his realm is high and his combat power strong, he cannot withstand the endless successive attacks; his body is riddled with scars.

Moreover, the constant fall of those around him gives him great psychological pressure.

The Leaders of the two armies now have completely different mindsets.

One is already detached from the affair, the other is fighting for his last dignity in desperation.

Tuomu Hai is dead for sure!

Ye Liuyun said to Qin Peng.

He also saw that Tuomu Hai would fight to the death.

Moreover, Tuomu Hai's True Essence is now exhausted; even if he tried to flee, he cannot get out.

"Let's go!"

Ye Liuyun called out to Qin Peng, telling him to start leading troops to withdraw!

"He's leaving right now?" Tuomu Hai, still in his mind, hoped Ye Liuyun would strike him.

If he could die at Ye Liuyun's hands, he would be completely convinced.

However, Ye Liuyun even despised looking at the moment of his death.

At the moment Ye Liuyun turned and left, Tuomu Hai's mindset finally collapsed!

He had regarded Ye Liuyun as an opponent, yet this opponent disregarded him entirely!

This blow to him felt more humiliating than defeat.

At his moment of distraction, a soldier wielding a spear rushed forward and impaled him through.

Then the second, the third...

The last soldier, with a single slash, cut off Tuomu Hai's head.

Tuomu Hai died in despair and humiliation.

This time, although it cannot make up for the damage the Foreign Tribe inflicted on Human Martial Cultivators, at least Ye Liuyun avenged them in a way the Foreign Tribe deems disgraceful!

When leaving, Ye Liuyun's mouth still curved into a smile.

The remaining task is for the Imperial Family's great army to kill the remaining Foreign Tribe one by one, thoroughly.

They have fought the Foreign Tribe for over twenty years, and finally it can end!

After the war ended, the soldiers looked at the layer of blood on the ground, feeling relieved.

They ultimately eradicated the Foreign Tribe, but at a huge cost.

Celebrations can wait until they return to the capital later!

Now, they just want a good sleep, treating everything before them as a dream. They hope that after waking, they will forget it all.

As the Fourth Prince and Crown Prince set a fire that burned all the corpses inside the city, the news of the Foreign Tribe's extermination spread across the entire Zhongyang Dalu!

Many people cheered and celebrated, while those who migrated from the Southern Region wept with joy.

The soldiers' families also looked on anxiously, not knowing whether those returning would be unharmed living persons, a disabled person, or a pile of Imperial Family compensation Spirit Stones.

After Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng left, Qin Peng directly led troops back to Moyu Yi Cheng.

"Take those one hundred thousand garrison troops and one hundred thousand Demon Cultivators back as well!" Ye Liuyun instructed Qin Peng.

"And you, Prince?" Qin Peng asked concernedly.

"I'll stay and wait for the Underworld God!" Ye Liuyun, after resolving the Imperial Court's affairs, still had his own matters unsolved.

The Monster Beasts that fought alongside him were not kept with him; instead, he sent them back to protect Wu Qingcheng and the others.

"Take extra care yourself; I'll wait for you to return!" Feng Wanru, as usual, gave that instruction and then left with Qin Peng.

Ye Tiandao voluntarily asked to stay and follow Ye Liuyun.

She is now much stronger than before and knows how to express her thoughts.

"The battle is over; I want to follow my master!" she said simply.

"Fine then, since you're not afraid of death, train the sword with me!" Ye Liuyun ultimately just kept Ye Tiandao by his side.

Afterwards, he bid farewell to Qin Peng and then roamed the Southern Region alone at leisure.

Occasionally he would encounter a few escaped Corpse Demons, and he would immediately set aside a hand to clear them.

After the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince finished their victorious battle, they could no longer reach Ye Liuyun. After discussing, the two decided to disperse their forces and conduct a net‑like search for scattered Corpse Demons.

They strived to clean up the Corpse Demons as thoroughly as possible before the refugees in the south returned.

While roaming, Ye Liuyun also encountered an Imperial Court search team, but he evaded them with the Invisibility Cloak and did not meet them.

He still greatly admired the two princes' approach.
