Chapter 1787: Female Soldiers Provoke

After taking a drop of Life Spring Water, Pei Yong recovered quickly; his external injuries were mostly healed, and he could already get up and walk.

The storage rings of the four dead people were given by Ye Liuyun to Zhang Wencai, who was to distribute the resources evenly among everyone and not let them go to waste.

When Zhang Wencai asked about those four people, Ye Liuyun only said they hadn't been rescued in time and were all killed by the bandits, without mentioning that anyone had surrendered.

Since they're all dead, there's no need to speak ill of others.

Pei Yong's impression of Ye Liuyun also improved because of this.

After sending Zhang Wencai and the others back to the camp to recuperate, Ye Liuyun then went out to rush to the local Mysterious Origin Tower to exchange resources and purchase medicinal herbs.

This time, they swept through more than ten bandit forces of various sizes, and naturally gained a lot.

Within his Space World, several billion Divine Crystals were added.

Other Intent Crystal Stones and medicinal pills also increased considerably.

As for weapons and other resources, as well as the medicinal pills he could refine, he kept none of them, exchanging everything for Divine Crystals to retain as cultivation resources.

Here Ye Liuyun only bought some medicinal herbs for alchemy and a few ferocious beast essence pellets, with no need to bring out a gold card.

Afterward, he returned to the camp to await the return of Xiao Yunfang's Imperial Guard.

Xiao Yunfang and the others also returned to the city not long after.

They did not return to the camp first, but went straight to Mysterious Origin Tower, exchanged the resources for what they needed, and then returned to the camp.

Each of them had a face full of smiles, clearly having gained a lot.

When they learned that Ye Liuyun's group had been robbed and some had suffered serious injuries, they began to mock them again.

Xiao Yunfang looked down on them, and those soldiers naturally followed suit.

A female soldier said to Ye Liuyun's group, "We attacked six bandit gangs and obtained countless resources; the cultivation supplies for the latter half could not be used up."

Aside from Ye Liuyun, everyone else's complexion grew worse.

They had hardly gained any resources, almost lost their lives, were already in a bad mood, and being mocked by them made them feel even more unbalanced.

Only Ye Liuyun, like someone unperturbed, cultivated in peace and quiet, with no one disturbing him.

If we talk about great gains, who could have greater gains than him?

They robbed more than ten bandit gangs, but the spoils were only split among a few people.

As for those Imperial Guards, they only robbed six bandit gangs, and the loot was divided among three thousand people.

That night, all the soldiers were also dispersing to relax and take a break.

Seeing how lively they were, with chatter and laughter, while his side was cold and deserted and he couldn't bear to watch, Ye Liuyun took out plenty of beast meat and had everyone barbecue together, which also helped ease their minds a bit.

"Don't worry about temporary gains and losses; that's how martial cultivators are—there will always be a day when you become strong."

Ye Liuyun also encouraged everyone.

"Tell us how you rescued me,"

"You little brat, you must have snatched a lot of resources this time."

"At that time I almost passed out; after you took me in, I knew nothing."

Pei Yong also found a topic to talk about, and the group gradually began chatting.

However, Ye Liuyun would not show off his wealth.

He didn't talk about his previous banditry experiences, and the account of rescuing Pei Yong was only a brief segment: he said that after saving Pei Yong, he immediately brought him out to kill.

As for gains, it was merely killing a few bandits and looting their storage rings and weapons.

Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong both knew that Ye Liuyun's gains were certainly not limited to these.

Knowing he didn't want to flaunt his wealth, they all refrained from probing.

His avatar, meanwhile, was also barbecuing with everyone in the Space World, making use of this final night to rest.

In the coming one and a half months, there would again be lengthy cultivation.

Then, upon reaching the Border Battlefield, it would be time to begin fighting.

During the barbecue with Ye Liuyun and company, those martial cultivators also suggested letting Ye Liuyun lead everyone together to obtain resources in the future.

Zhang Wencai, however, directly vetoed it.

"From now on, you all should go your separate ways."

"With more than a dozen people gathered together, if we say too much we can't win a big battle; if we say too little we're still very conspicuous, which would only attract others' attention!"

His excuse was actually reasonable, so the other martial cultivators didn't bring it up again.

Although Ye Liuyun couldn't take them to obtain resources, he still expressed: "If it's on the battlefield, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"

Zhang Wencai then further divided these people into three groups.

Ye Liuyun still led his own people as one group, while the other two groups consisted of five and four people respectively.

Adding Ye Liuyun's five people, they now have fourteen left.

He and Pei Yong would no longer participate in their activities, lest they put their lives at risk.

Others also sighed, from thousands of people continuously being eliminated, to now only fourteen remaining.

"That's how the martial world is: thousands of troops crossing a single-log bridge, and no strong person climbs up without stepping on piles of corpses!"

Zhang Wencai also began educating them.

They were chatting when suddenly, from the Imperial Guard's side, a few female soldiers started provoking.

"Hey, you few big men, dare to come out and spar?"

Xiao Yunfang had been sitting quietly off to the side, eating and drinking, and did not join in their liveliness.

She heard her own soldiers' provocation but did not stop them.

Soldiers are like that; when they relax, they just cause trouble.

As long as nothing happens, she won't intervene.

But once they assemble in formation, her demands on the soldiers are extremely strict.

"What is there you don't dare?"

"How do you want to compare?"

A Martial Cultivator answered indignant.

Their cultivation realms are higher than those soldiers', so how could they fear a few women's provocation?

The woman smiled and said.

Five versus five, how about it?

We won't bully you; we'll send five women to fight you!

The female soldier said with a giggle.

"Don't fall for it; they want to use formation advantage to bully you!"

Ye Liuyun reminded the other Martial Cultivators.

"Huh?"

"That Golden Pupil kid, you seem to know a lot! But you bunch of big men, even though your realms are higher than ours, you don't dare to spar with us?"

The female soldier again used provocation.

Ye Liuyun smiled, shook his head, and ignored her.

But he didn't care; the other Martial Cultivators couldn't stand it any longer and stood up one after another.

The five of them walked out together.

Opposite them, five female soldiers also stepped out, wielding spears and shields.

"We don't intend to bully you; you go back and send five male soldiers!"

A Martial Cultivator said.

But it provoked a burst of laughter from the Imperial Guard.

"If you can beat our five, then you'll have a chance to engage our male soldiers!"

The female soldier again used provocation.

"Fine, if you lose, don't whine!"

A Martial Cultivator said.

"You all shouldn't whine! Let's start!"

The opposing female soldiers showed no sign of weakness.

Ye Liuyun, interested, was chewing on beast meat while watching them fight.

When they engaged, the five Martial Cultivators realized they truly were no match for those five female soldiers.

The five coordinated, offense and defense unified, quickly defeating each of them.

They were beaten into a sorry state, slunk back, prompting the opposing Imperial Guard to burst into continuous laughter.
