Chapter 1629: Shocked Again

Sect representatives, upon hearing the head of Qian Long Academy's report, fell silent for a moment.

After a long pause, someone carefully said, "Ye Liuyun's methods are too ruthless; I think how we handle this must be reported to the sect leader."

That person was clearly worried Ye Liuyun might retaliate, so dared not decide on his own.

"In my view, he's only making a threat; does he really dare act again?" another guessed.

"That's not certain. None of our sects match the overall strength of the War Dragon Sect!" someone immediately retorted, believing Ye Liuyun wasn't merely threatening but could truly wipe them out.

Thus, the representatives' summit of this alliance ended hastily.

Within the Imperial Family, the Crown Prince handed the wager he made with the Fourth Prince to him.

"You know him better! Do you think this is the end, or is there something even more shocking ahead?" the Crown Prince asked.

"Isn't this already shocking enough!" the Fourth Prince exclaimed.

"I have no idea about what follows! I just hope he stops now before things get out of hand!" the Fourth Prince said anxiously.

"What are you worried about?" the Crown Prince retorted.

"Will the other sects unite?" the Fourth Prince asked worriedly.

"Hah, those guys are a loose bunch!" the Crown Prince scoffed. "There aren't many sects with backbone. Even Qian Long Academy can't be counted; it's too moderate!"

"The most resolute is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; sword cultivators are generally stubborn! Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect isn't allied with the War Dragon Sect. Their sword cultivators have such foul tempers that no one wants to ally with them!"

The Fourth Prince nodded, agreeing with the Crown Prince.

"We can only watch the drama unfold; we no longer have a stage to appear on!" he sighed.

However, Ye Liuyun's fleet now draws worldwide attention; everyone watches its movements.

When they reached the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, everyone was shocked again.

"You're such a crow's mouth; you mentioned the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and Ye Liuyun actually went there!" the Fourth Prince told the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince swallowed and explained, "I just thought the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was stronger than the War Dragon Sect!"

"So what? Can they stop Ye Liuyun?" the Fourth Prince retorted.

The Crown Prince shook his head blankly, "Probably… can't… stop them!"

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect, knowing Ye Liuyun was heading straight for them, remained calm and prepared the whole sect for defense.

They refused to open the protective sect formation, opting instead to meet Ye Liuyun head‑on.

They were confident they could annihilate these Demon Cultivators completely.

In the eyes of these sword cultivators, Demon Cultivators are inherently evil; with idle time they consider eradicating Demon Cultivators their duty.

Although Ye Liuyun holds no grudge against the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he must act against them for the sake of his sect.

Members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect left their sect to meet the enemy, preventing its destruction.

Ye Liuyun was forced to deploy a sky‑net and earth‑net covering a larger area.

As before, Qin Peng first ordered the Warships to bombard.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples jointly countered, actually blocking many Warship attacks.

"These sword cultivators really have skill!" Qin Peng exclaimed.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "In terms of battle formation, they're no match for you! Since they're not in a hurry, we'll give them extra pressure!"

Ye Liuyun then released his Metal Puppets. Qin Peng also deployed Yin Soul elite troops, first using bow and arrows for ranged attacks.

The Demonic God Sect disciples had already launched their Warships, ready for battle.

Hundreds of thousands of Demon Qi mingled, black vapors spreading.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect originally planned to wait for the Demonic God Sect disciples to charge, then unleash a coordinated Ten Thousand Swords barrage to wipe out most of them.

But now Ye Liuyun's arrows shot first, forcing them to form a True Essence shield to protect lower‑level disciples from being hit.

At that moment, the Warship bombardment frequency suddenly increased.

Ye Liuyun's Warships, having been modified by Du Yan, Li Sanniang and others, have never been defeated in ship confrontations.

Their defense is strong, and their attack power is high as well.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect clearly underestimated the Warships' attack frequency.

As long as a Warship has Spirit Stone supply, it can keep consuming energy.

But people cannot; they still need time to gather True Essence.

Thus, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples who initially repelled the first wave of Warship bombardment could not withstand the second wave that followed.

Many Martial Cultivators hadn't gathered True Essence in time and were struck by the Warships.

The third and fourth waves came in rapid succession, instantly breaking the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples' formations.

Their True Essence shields could not block the onslaught of so many Warships.

In an instant, Warship bombardments and arrows rained down on the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples, causing heavy casualties.

Charge!

Seeing the situation, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect abandoned the original plan and chose to engage Ye Liuyun's forces in close combat.

"That's the way!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, waved the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, and released a Yin Soul army.

"Man Shu, Fire Dancer, coordinate with the Yin Soul army in the attack!"

Ye Liuyun called out, leading these three units at the forefront.

Only then did the Demonic God Sect disciples follow. Qin Peng commanded the Warships and archers, continuing long‑range attacks on the densely populated Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Facing such overwhelming firepower, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect suffered a heavy loss.

After all, they are not as adept at battle formations as Qin Peng and Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng could easily break through their defenses.

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect also had a few strong ones who charged up long‑range attacks against the Warships and archers.

But the Warship has formation defense, and the True Essence of ranged attacks consumes too much, so it can't be broken.

The archers have all used the Defense Array Plate, making them even harder to break.

Those who rushed out to attack the Warship were all eliminated by the Flame Lion and Black Panther, who appeared and vanished like ghosts.

Thus they could only take hits while resisting Ye Liuyun's Yin Soul army.

But the illusion of Fire Dance and Man Shu's ice‑bound squad were often wiped out before they even got a chance to act.

The Yin Soul army also leveraged the advantage of its battle formation, beginning a one‑sided slaughter of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples.

"Heavenly Venerable Elder, charge, eliminate the two squads supporting the Yin Souls!" The sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also discerned the key of the battle.

However, as soon as those people emerged, Ye Liuyun used the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, releasing hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Ninth‑rank Yin Souls to fight them on the spot.
