Chapter 1799: Waiting for Reinforcements

After waiting for Ye Liuyun to return, the Vice Captain was shocked, his mouth hanging open, and examined Ye Liuyun from head to toe; seeing that Ye Liuyun had not a single hole in his body, he finally relaxed.

"Brother, how did you survive?"

The Vice Captain said to Ye Liuyun via Transmission Voice.

Ye Liuyun looked at him and sighed, "You all aren't having it easy either!"

The Vice Captain nodded repeatedly, feeling he had found a kindred spirit.

After a while, Xiao Yunfang composed herself and her appearance, and immediately transmitted the Vice Captain in.

"What is our current position?"

Xiao Yunfang then began to consider how to lead the team out of danger.

After the Vice Captain replied, Xiao Yunfang asked further, "Why enter Mi Lin?

How do we get out now?"

"You said at the time to follow Ye Liuyun, so I entered Mi Lin according to his instructions!"

The Vice Captain replied.

"Then go ask clearly why we need to enter Mi Lin?

What is the next step?

How to get out of danger?"

Xiao Yunfang said.

"Should we have him come in to report back?"

The Vice Captain tentatively asked.

"I definitely don't want to see that lecherous thief.

Let you go ask, then go quickly!"

Xiao Yunfang scolded unhappily.

"Yes, yes!"

The Vice Captain hurried out, daring not to provoke her anger.

Ye Liuyun explained to him, "At that time there were too many pursuers behind us, the enemy had a Warship, we certainly couldn't outrun them; Mi Lin is the best place to evade a chase."

"What we need to do now is wait and see what they do."

The Vice Captain went back to report to Xiao Yunfang.

"Until when do we wait?

If the enemy's large army comes to surround us, what do we do?"

Xiao Yunfang asked.

The Vice Captain was at a loss for words, and was again sent out by Xiao Yunfang to ask Ye Liuyun.

"Wait for them to attack.

Their main force is thousands of li away; how could they mobilize a massive army just to encircle our three thousand people?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

The Vice Captain thought for a moment and asked Ye Liuyun, "How about you go in yourself to speak to Leader Xiao?"

"No need, just let her wait!"

Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

He also didn't want to provoke that Mother Tiger again.

The Vice Captain, helpless, ran back to reply to Xiao Yunfang.

So, he was tossed back and forth by the two of them several times.

Xiao Yunfang ultimately still didn't figure out what Ye Liuyun intended.

But now it has come to this point, so they can only follow Ye Liuyun's words and wait to see what the enemy does.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected that the enemy's five squads had all begun to move.

The first squad that entered Mi Lin was the unit they had previously scattered; half of them were archers, able to exchange fire with Ye Liuyun's ambush team.

Their Leader had been killed, and the Vice Captain's rank wasn't high enough, so they were sent in by other squads as cannon fodder.

Subsequently, the four following squads of three thousand each, after intervals, entered Mi Lin as a single unit, pursuing Ye Liuyun's group.

Ye Liuyun sensed the position of his clone, then called the Vice Captain and ordered him to prepare for battle.

"First eliminate their vanguard, then retreat; don't linger in battle."

Ye Liuyun instructed him.

The Vice Captain went back to report to Xiao Yunfang.

"Follow his orders!"

Xiao Yunfang now had no better solution.

And she vaguely felt that Ye Liuyun's command ability was not inferior to hers.

The Vice Captain immediately gathered the troops.

Following Ye Liuyun, they prepared to meet the enemy.

The enemy's vanguard advanced cautiously; after marching over fifty li without detecting any enemy activity, their tense mood eased a bit.

Then ahead lay a series of continuous traps.

At first some fell into the traps, but soon they realized and began assigning people ahead to dismantle them.

The troops gradually relaxed.

Just as they reached the spot where Ye Liuyun's ambushed archers were positioned, they were caught off guard by Ye Liuyun's pre‑set ambush.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense, monitoring the battlefield, deemed it sufficient and immediately ordered the Vice Captain to pull the archers back.

The enemy couldn't pursue either; there were too many traps ahead, so they could only clear them bit by bit.

Suddenly, Ye Tiandao seized the moment when the enemy relaxed, locked onto their Vice Captain with his gilded divine bow, and with a single arrow shot him down, then withdrew to Ye Liuyun's side.

Several remaining enemy squad captains argued for a long time, and finally chose a temporary Leader to lead the troops onward.

The traps ahead seemed endless, almost exhausting these people's patience.

Yet at that moment, Ye Liuyun's forces suddenly charged.

In the Mi Lin, neither side's formation had room to deploy.

But on Ye Liuyun's side, he leveraged the cultivation advantage of those around him, leading the Martial Cultivators at the front; a few arrows from the gilded divine bow killed several captains, and the remaining soldiers, like scattered sand, were beaten by Ye Liuyun's men into a rout, fleeing in all directions.

Ye Liuyun pursued for a while, then immediately led his troops deeper into the Mi Lin.

"We've only just eliminated one of their squads; there are four more. What do you plan to do?"

Xiao Yunfang finally couldn't hold back and asked Ye Liuyun.

"Wait until they penetrate the Mi Lin, then annihilate them within the forest."

Ye Liuyun said.

"Then why didn't we press the advantage just now?"

Xiao Yunfang was somewhat puzzled.

"With only your three thousand, you intend to clash with over ten thousand?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Then why do you still say we must annihilate them?"

Xiao Yunfang also began to argue with Ye Liuyun.

"Be patient, keep waiting!"

Ye Liuyun simply said.

"What exactly are we waiting for?"

Xiao Yunfang became angry and questioned Ye Liuyun.

"Waiting for reinforcements!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

"Reinforcements?"

Xiao Yunfang was stunned.

How could they possibly have reinforcements?

But Ye Liuyun smiled, "The reinforcements have already arrived.

Just waiting for the enemy to go deep into the Mi Lin.

You just prepare to counterattack then!"

"What reinforcements?"

Xiao Yunfang asked again, but Ye Liuyun ignored him.

The enemy gathered the scattered soldiers who had just retreated into the second echelon, then resumed their advance.

Ye Liuyun kept withdrawing with his men, and only after the enemy's last squad had entered the Mi Lin fifty li did he order everyone to prepare for battle.

At this moment, his clone, already wearing the Invisibility Cloak, followed behind the last squad into the Mi Lin.

He drew the gilded divine bow and shot the last squad's captain dead with a single arrow.

"Enemy attack!"

The final squad immediately fell into chaos.

Then, another arrow took down their Vice Captain as well.

Yet they couldn't find anyone.

"Scatter! Scatter!"

The few squad captains immediately ordered each unit to spread out, and the soldiers increased their spacing, widening the search area.

But just as they scattered, countless Demon Cultivators appeared around them.

These Demon Cultivators, each with a ferocious visage, twin crimson eyes, unafraid of pain, began to attack them.

The number of Demon Cultivators was huge—over ten thousand—but at least half had no cultivation level.

Even those without a level would still swarm a soldier, bravely charging and biting without fear of death.

The cultivated Demon Cultivators began a full‑scale slaughter.

Very quickly, the last squad lost more than half its strength.

Moreover, those killed fled in disarray, completely crushed.
