Chapter 1552: Just Cooperating

"From a long-term perspective, your clan chief's decision is not wrong!"

Ye Liuyun said, "I'm afraid he also had this plan all along; it just happened to coincide with this matter!"

Ye Liuyun and the others comforted A Ya outside.

"I know, the clan chief explained the reasoning to me."

"I'm just reluctant to leave this place!"

A Ya said to everyone, "Besides, I'm also worried that the Nan Xiang Empire won't let us off!"

"Before we leave, we can help you wipe out this hundred-thousand-strong army."

"It's up to your own decision!"

Ye Liuyun said to A Ya.

A Ya now also doesn't know what to do; they can only wait for the clan chief's decision.

"I also don't know the clan chief's attitude."

"Let's see what their discussion decides!"

What they didn't know was that, inside the clan chief's room, the elders had even begun considering who would succeed the clan chief's position.

"The Nan Xiang Empire will certainly not let us off easily."

So I intend to sacrifice myself to protect the clan.

When a price needs to be paid, I will step forward.

So you need to first choose a clan chief who can lead everyone to continue surviving.

The clan chief said to the many elders.

This is their main agenda.

As for choosing who will follow A Ya away, that is quite simple.

They selected nearly three thousand young elites from all aspects of the clan.

They also assigned several elders to protect them.

Anyway, Ye Liuyun and his group can bring however many people, so we might as well arrange more.

So that the clan isn't too small, making it hard for A Ya to develop there.

A Ya was appointed as the first clan chief of this group, and no one had any objections.

What needs to be handled now is how to respond to the Nan Xiang Empire's retaliation.

"I'll come with you! One person's strength might not be enough! This old bone of mine should also make some contribution to the clan!"

The Grand Elder spoke up, preparing to go together with the clan chief to make a sacrifice for the clan.

Afterwards, they also selected a new clan chief.

Once the old clan chief dies, the new clan chief will take office.

Luo Qianmo, who had withdrawn his troops, was actually defeated in his first battle by the natives of a small tribe, naturally feeling unwilling.

But his Grand Leader nevertheless advised, saying, "Prince, when these Curse Tribe people gather together, the power of their curse technique becomes stronger."

"How many resources could such a small tribe possibly have?"

"Even if we wiped them all out, it still wouldn't be enough to compensate for our losses!"

"If we keep fighting, our losses could become huge! It would be better to just surround them."

"They will inevitably need to go out hunting sometime; then we can wipe them out one by one! Anyway, the empire hasn't given us a time limit."

"Hmm!"

Luo Qianmo thought it over and also agreed to the Leader's request.

He went to battle entirely for the dynasty's reward.

A war driven by profit, once there's no profit to be made, cannot continue any further.

After all, these are his own soldiers.

If the losses are too great, he would lose out on this battle.

Thus, Luo Qianmo's army changed its strategy, surrounding but not attacking, preparing to starve the Curse Tribe to death.

Ye Liuyun's divine sense detected the change in the enemy's formation and also understood their intention.

"That's fine too! It can also buy more time to wear down the Nan Xiang Empire's vigor!"

He thought to himself secretly.

Not long after, the Curse Tribe's meeting also ended, and the clan chief announced the various resolutions to the entire tribe.

The young people preparing to leave were all saying goodbye to their families.

The clan chief and the elders, meanwhile, were preparing supplies for those leaving to take with them, and arranging people to cut the spirit stone platform.

The entire Curse Tribe began to busy themselves.

Outside, Luo Qianmo, after receiving the information, discussed with his Grand Leader, saying, "Could it be that these people are preparing to flee?"

"Looking at their posture, it seems they are preparing to withdraw!"

That Leader reported.

"Pass the order down; don't surround them too tightly, let them run out first, then we'll chase and kill them!"

Luo Qianmo arranged.

Ye Liuyun and the others also found the clan chief, asking how he intended to deal with the external large army.

"We intend to first clash with these people, let the empire see our strength, then negotiate terms with them! What do you think?"

"I also think that if we don't hurt them badly, they won't take notice!"

Meng Zhangxing said.

He wasn't intentionally trying to provoke war between the two sides; rather, he judged based on his understanding of the empire.

Guo Da also agreed with Meng Zhangxing's suggestion.

Ye Liuyun expressed no stance, merely reminding the Clan Chief: "Doing this would indeed attract the attention of the Nan Xiang Empire, but it would also deepen the hatred between both sides."

There are both advantages and disadvantages.

I don't really understand the Nan Xiang Empire's intentions, and I can't say which method is better."

What he needs to do now is to help the Curse Clan solve their problems.

Since the Curse Clan has its own ideas, and this idea isn't really problematic, he should just go along with it.

In the end, the Clan Chief still decided to first wipe out this army of 100,000.

At this point, Ye Liuyun voluntarily took on this task.

"Since the Clan Chief has already decided, let us handle the main attack, so that the Curse Clan won't suffer too many casualties!"

The Curse Clan people relying on the Spirit Stone Platform for defense can suffer no casualties, but once they leave the stockade, their defensive power will drop greatly.

"Just you few?"

The Clan Chief was a little worried.

"Clan Chief, don't worry, they're very strong!"

A Ya did not reveal Ye Liuyun's various abilities, yet she reassured the Clan Chief.

The Clan Chief also placed great trust in A Ya.

"All right then! We'll act only after everything is ready! After this battle, you must leave immediately!"

The Clan Chief declared.

Then everyone went back to rest and prepare.

Ye Liuyun then used his Divine Sense to monitor the movements of the outer army.

Three days later, three thousand Curse Clan people, carrying supplies and lifting half a Spirit Stone Platform, gathered in the square.

Ye Liuyun also, within the Space World, separately opened up an area for them to temporarily rest.

Here one cannot see the full extent of his Space World, and Ye Liuyun is not worried about exposing any information.

The Clan Chief, A Ya, Meng Zhangxing and others only then realized that Ye Liuyun intended to place all these people into the Space World and take them away.

Ye Liuyun had everyone relax and not resist.

Then he collected all of them into the Space World.

Looking at the suddenly empty square, after a shock, Meng Zhangxing first said: "Our thinking hasn't shifted! This kid's Space World is huge—why can't we put people in it?"

"Looks like I'll also have to expand my Space World properly in the future!"

Guo Da also sighed.

The Curse Clan people, knowing even less about Spatial Power, were so astonished they couldn't speak.

After a while, the Clan Chief then asked Ye Liuyun: "If you encounter any mishap, what will happen to this Space World?"

"It will collapse! They will all die!"

Ye Liuyun, however, did not deceive him.

But upon hearing this, the Curse Clan people all turned pale.

"Then you still want to go into battle?"

The Clan Chief began to worry.
