Chapter 1938: Heed No Advice
Some people also began to complain about the Demon Race Clan Chief.
The Demon Race Clan Chief still did not want to admit fault at this moment. He immediately dispatched two Seventh Realm strongmen and fifty thousand Imperial Guard to intercept Ye Liuyun.
But he also feared they might fail to hold him back. He sent the Witch with a squad of envoys to follow behind the fifty thousand Imperial Guard, creating some distance. If they could not stop Ye Liuyun, the Witch would be sent to negotiate.
Although the Witch was unwilling, she could only carry out the order.
As soon as they left the city, they encountered Demon Race Martial Cultivators rushing toward the Royal City, arriving in endless streams, in groups.
After the Witch gathered information from these people, she confirmed that the rumors were true.
"We saw with our own eyes corpses lifted by weapons and stuck into the ground, some fresh, some desiccated, but the Golden Cores had been removed..."
The Witch did not expect that Ye Liuyun, who seemed so amiable, could be so ruthless in battle.
But Ye Liuyun's pause to recuperate was actually giving the Demon Race a chance.
At this moment, the Witch recalled the jokes Ye Liuyun had made earlier and his warning to Tuo Mu Qianglei.
Unfortunately, their father had never taken Ye Liuyun seriously.
"Father! This time you truly brought disaster upon the Demon Race, provoking someone who must not be provoked!"
Thinking of this, the Witch immediately used a Transmission Talisman to contact the Clan Chief, ordering him to withdraw the strongmen and Imperial Guard, and cease any further reckless sacrifices.
However, Tuo Mu Qianglei now, constrained by pride, would not heed anyone's advice; he merely let her execute the order.
Ye Liuyun truly was giving the Demon Race a chance now.
If he kept pressing forward, he would soon reach the Demon Race's original territory. There are more Demons within that city; if he continued killing like this, it would almost amount to a city-wide slaughter.
The Demon Race Guard of the Foreign Tribe Passage had merit, and he did not wish to bring matters to a dead end.
But he did not expect that the reinforcements arriving were indeed two Demon Race strongmen and fifty thousand Imperial Guard.
"Since the Demon Race knows no repentance, I can only kill until you are terrified! All troops, meet the enemy!"
Ye Liuyun no longer softened his heart.
Magic Vine immediately surrounded three sides, leaving the front to Ye Liuyun's main army.
Of the two Seventh Realm strongmen, one was smashed to death by the Sealing Demon Tablet, and the other was attacked jointly by Ye Liuyun and his four Soul clones, whose Souls were directly devoured.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun and his clones, all clad in Demon Dragon Armor, brandished swords and charged into the enemy ranks.
Behind him was a sea of black armor, like a legion of death. Even the Demon Race Imperial Guard could not withstand their onslaught.
In half a day, the fifty thousand Imperial Guard were completely annihilated by Ye Liuyun and his forces.
After the battle, the fifty thousand Imperial Guard remained impaled on weapons and nailed to the ground, forming a forest of desiccated corpses.
"The army splits into two units: one fights, the other clears the battlefield, alternating," Ye Liuyun instructed He Lian Xiu, then immediately led the troops onward toward the nearby city.
However, aside from the Demon Race garrison, the Demons inside the city had long since fled.
Thus Ye Liuyun's forces finished the fight quickly and rushed toward the next city.
When the Witch met Ye Liuyun, they were inserting corpses at the next city.
"What are you doing here? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Ye Liuyun gave the Witch no friendly expression.
"I have come on behalf of the Demon Race to negotiate with you!" the Witch explained.
He looked at the Demon soldiers, each skewered by weapons and nailed outside the city, feeling great remorse.
"Go back and tell Tuo Mu Qianglei he has no right to negotiate with me. Either surrender and pay tribute, or fight to the death!"
Ye Liuyun waved his hand, intending to drive her away immediately.
"What about those Demon Race Imperial Guard?" the Witch asked Ye Liuyun, hoping they had not been encountered.
Ye Liuyun replied impatiently, "They were hung up long ago! If next time you don't come to surrender and pay tribute, don't come at all. Otherwise I'll kill you on the spot!"
Having said that, Ye Liuyun turned his back and left without looking back.
The Witch believed Ye Liuyun's words, but among the entourage following him, some did not.
"You want to see, do you? Go ahead, see enough! This is the consequence of your greed," the Witch said, knowing that persuading her father alone was useless; she had to frighten everyone.
Thus those people did not return; instead they pressed on and found another city ahead, the same situation.
Only after they went further and saw the fifty thousand Imperial Guard corpses hanging there did they finally believe.
"Quick, report to the Clan Chief! We must dispatch troops to exterminate these Demons!" a messenger said.
"Do as you wish! The Demon Race will eventually be destroyed by you lot!" the Witch turned and left, unable to watch any longer.
Those people immediately reported to the Clan Chief.
The Demon Race Clan Chief was now worried, as a large number of fleeing Demons poured into the Royal City, and their numbers kept growing.
If this continued, the Royal City would no longer be able to accommodate them.
Now, receiving news that the Imperial Guard had been completely annihilated only inflamed him further; he scolded those messengers harshly and ignored them.
However, Ye Liuyun's advance would not cease.
He quickly swept through several more cities, arriving at the former border of the Demon Race.
Looking at the city before him that originally belonged to the Demon Race, Ye Liuyun let out a deep sigh.
If he does not act more ruthlessly, the Demon Race will endlessly harass the border, just as this time. If he does nothing, the Demons could even reach the Southern Royal City.
Human greed knows no bounds!
"Citywide slaughter!" Ye Liuyun coldly ordered.
The Sealing Demon Tablet, Magic Vine, and a hundred thousand troops surged out at once.
The city's defenders, though mentally prepared, could not withstand the attacks of the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine.
Moreover, the Death Legion was already heavily equipped, each member bearing a shield; together, their archery defense was utterly useless.
The city originally housed fifty thousand garrison troops, and its walls were sturdy, making it easy to defend but hard to assault.
Additionally, the Demons and Demon Cultivators inside the city were aiding the defense, leading everyone to think Ye Liuyun could not break through.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle began, Magic Vine seized the walls, and the Giant Rhino Kuailei also rammed open the city gate.
The Sealing Demon Tablet directly smashed the Chengzhu Fu to rubble, killing many Martial Cultivator experts.
What remained was truly just a massacre of the city.
The Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine began fighting over resources again, throwing the city into utter chaos, leaving not a single building intact.
The Death Legion also killed anyone they saw.
Previously, when they attacked cities, the Human Race was unharmed, but Ye Liuyun discovered that the Demon Cultivators here were also aiding the Demon Race. So he also couldn't be bothered to distinguish whether they were Demon Cultivators, and simply left none alive.
By the time the Witch arrived with the Envoy Group, Ye Liuyun had already reached the next city, still engaged in slaughtering it.
"Ah!" The Witch was dumbfounded, and the entire Envoy Group was dumbfounded.
"He's angry!" the Witch murmured.
"Who?" an Envoy asked, puzzled.
"Who else could it be? Our Demon Race is facing a great disaster!" the Witch sighed.
He no longer wanted to speak with Tuomu Qianglei at all. Immediately, an Envoy contacted Tuomu Qianglei again, reporting the situation here.
At that moment, in the next city, a Vice Leader promptly reported to the Demon Race's Clan Chief, also saying that Ye Liuyun was slaughtering the city.
