Chapter 1548: Deploying Troops to Encircle and Annihilate

On the road, Meng Zhangxing also reminded everyone: "Our speed needs to be a bit faster."

Once Luo Tianming dies, the Nan Xiang Empire should already know about it.

Ye Liuyun had also thought of that.

Major powers usually have a way to confirm the life or death of important figures, for example by leaving behind a strand of soul.

"What if the road ahead is blocked by a large army?"

Guo Da also asked anxiously.

"Just fight our way out!"

Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"Exactly! You alone can take on several hundred thousand troops."

"If you want to stockpile food for your ferocious beast, just kill here in the Southern Region—don't go back north to cause trouble! Hahaha!"

Meng Zhangxing laughed.

Ye Liuyun was also speechless.

Actually, his own cultivation resources and food for his ferocious beast are now stocked up to about the same level.

If it weren't for A Ya's Curse Clan, he could immediately use the Black Tower to teleport straight to the Snow Clan.

"The way you talk makes it sound like I'm a mass‑murdering demon king."

"I certainly haven't slaughtered innocents indiscriminately!"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"You kill several hundred thousand at a go—how are you not a mass‑murdering demon king?"

"Are they all guilty?"

"You couldn't have had enough killing in the north and now don't want to lift a finger in the south, could you?"

Meng Zhangxing immediately guessed Ye Liuyun's thoughts.

"Ah, what a wasted trip—I thought you could also cause some trouble down in the Southern Region."

Meng Zhangxing sighed with feeling.

"I've always followed the rule: if others don't provoke me, I won't provoke them either."

Ye Liuyun said.

"Hehe, I think the Nan Xiang Empire won't let us off easily."

"By then I'll be waiting to watch the show!"

Hearing that, Meng Zhangxing finally became happy.

"No wonder you're the imperial son of the Northern Eagle—you can even earn merit for the Northern Eagle Empire while out exploring!"

Luo Yun began to sneer.

Meng Zhangxing, however, didn't care: "This is an open and aboveboard stratagem—unlike certain people who go trick others out of their treasures!"

Ye Liuyun also laughed upon hearing that, shaking his head helplessly: "Do you know why Luo Tianming hates you?"

"It's just because of that mouth of yours!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into loud laughter upon hearing that.

They all gained quite a bit this time, their moods were great, they chatted and laughed all the way, and encountered no danger.

When passing through the Volcano Cluster, Ye Liuyun clearly felt the temperature drop here.

Even the Flame Lion sensed something a little off, which was strange.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun's group even ran into a squad of Martial Cultivators.

"We'll rob them, then let them go—so no one thinks we've gotten hold of a treasure!"

Ye Liuyun sent a voice transmission to everyone, then immediately turned around and charged over.

"Why would robbing them make others not suspect us?"

A Ya asked, puzzled.

"Because people usually think only the poor would rob the rich! Since we need to go looting, others will assume we're even poorer than they are!"

Meng Zhangxing explained to A Ya.

"Oh!"

A Ya gave a acknowledging reply, as if she'd understood.

Those Martial Cultivators were naturally no match for Ye Liuyun's group.

But Ye Liuyun's group's ferocious beasts were something they couldn't handle.

So they all obediently handed over their Storage Rings, without wasting any time.

Meng Zhangxing glanced at their Storage Rings and added, "Your haul isn't bad at all! Haha, thanks!"

After saying that, Ye Liuyun's group then rode their ferocious beasts away.

"These bandits! They deceived us the moment we arrived."

"I knew they had no good intentions……"

Those Martial Cultivators watched as Ye Liuyun's group disappeared into the distance.

Apart from complaining a bit, there was nothing else they could do.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun's group encountered no more Martial Cultivators and simply made their way back to the Mi Lin forest at the edge of the Sunset Mountain Range.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected from afar that outside there were fifty thousand soldiers standing ready.

There was also a detachment of nearly a thousand Dragon‑Elephant soldiers holding the position.

"It looks like these people are prepared! What should we do?"

Guo Da asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at everyone and asked, "How about we practice a bit?"

"Want to start fighting?"

Meng Zhangxing excitedly rolled up his sleeves.

"Sure, perfect time to test my bow!"

Luo Yun also took out the modified green bow and arrow, and gave it a name, calling it Bi Yu.

"Alright, Guo Da will protect Luo Yun and A Ya with the Formation Plate, and Meng Zhangxing will follow me to kill the enemies!"

Ye Liuyun said, releasing his clone, the ferocious beasts, and Lei Ming and others, letting everyone come out to move around.

"Their realms..."

Luo Yun, seeing the realms of Lei Ming, Long Nv and others, was so shocked her mouth couldn't close.

"They took some pills!"

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to conceal their realms a bit.

Otherwise their realms would rise too much and scare others.

"A bunch of monsters!"

Meng Zhangxing muttered.

He felt that even taking pills, Lei Ming's breakthrough speed was too fast!

"How?"

"You disagree?"

Lei Ming clenched his fists, threatening Meng Zhangxing.

"Don't cause trouble! Lei Ming will take the lead, we'll charge out."

"This time we won't use the Yin Soul's power, so the Nan Xiang Empire won't be prepared when they send troops next time."

"Everyone must prepare to hold out until the end! If tired, you can rest inside the formation set up by Guo Da."

Ye Liuyun gave everyone some instructions.

"Roar!"

Lei Ming revealed his true form, let out a great roar, and signaled the attack.

At this moment she had already become a second-level Heavenly Sovereign ferocious beast, her body immensely huge, and upon revealing her true form she passed over the Mi Lin and was spotted by the enemy soldiers.

"A ferocious beast!"

The enemy soldiers also immediately became alert.

"Charge!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, and his clone and the Flame Lion instantly disappeared, moving through the void to the enemy formation, and began slaughtering in all directions.

The Flame Lion, with a single breath, spewed countless flames, clearing everything around it spotless.

The clone, holding a scepter, wearing demonic armor, appearing as a demon cultivator, released demonic and toxic qi together, and the soldiers immediately collapsed.

Ye Liuyun himself held the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand and practiced the Qiankun Palm with the other.

The eighth form of the Qiankun Palm Reversal, he had only just begun, still needing more practice.

Immediately after, Liang Xue, Ye Tiandao, Meng Zhangxing, and the ferocious beasts also rushed forward.

Guo Da then brought Luo Yun and A Ya to the rear, conducting long-range attacks.

Upon entering the battlefield.

Guo Da then set up the formation, and together with Luo Yun attacked with bow and arrow.

When he refined the Green Jade Bow for Luo Yun, he also modified a bow for himself.

A Ya, meanwhile, attacked with spellcraft inside the formation.

From time to time he also released talisman-pattern ferocious beasts to join the battle.

Everyone also knew that with these people, fighting fifty thousand, although the enemy was relatively weak, mostly being Yin-Yang and Zao Hua Realm soldiers, but due to their large numbers, the pressure was also not small.

Moreover, once the enemy formation's power was unleashed, that would also be troublesome.

Therefore Ye Liuyun, his clone, and the Flame Lion specifically attacked where the enemy formation was crowded, using spatial power to directly dissolve the soldiers' coordinated attacks from within the formation.
