Chapter 1950: No Need to Deploy Mercenaries

"Really, nothing's wrong?"

"Your memory is still there?"

Cao Meng also stepped forward to ask Lao Wei.

Lao Wei checked his memory again and indeed found no gaps.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "My Soul Searching Technique is rather special: it doesn't harm anyone, nor does it erase memories.

Rest assured!"

Hearing that, everyone laughed excitedly.

"So, you have agreed to stay?"

Lao Wei was even more concerned about Ye Liuyun's decision.

Ye Liuyun confirmed, "I'll stay to help you!"

He decided so because he saw these people were quite kind and their hearts were aligned.

After speaking, he also produced a lot of meat dishes: "You haven't had meat in a long time, have you?

Come, let's eat while we chat!"

Seeing the abundance of meat Ye Liuyun presented, some people's mouths watered.

These people, except Tu Yazi and Lan'er, usually survive on True Essence or eat cheaper spirit rice, and rarely get to eat meat.

"Ha ha, good.

Hurry over and pay respects to Group Leader Ye!"

Lao Wei laughed while quickly bringing everyone to meet the new Group Leader, fearing Ye Liuyun might change his mind.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled, "You seem simple-hearted, but you're quite shrewd!"

"Hehe, can't help it, it's for a living! All this is experience gained from taking losses!"

Lao Wei also laughed.

Next, everyone gathered to grill meat, and Ye Liuyun introduced himself to each of them.

The guards outside the mountain hollow were called back.

Ye Liuyun said his Soul Scan detected the situation outside.

Lao Wei, having seen Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power, knew he was formidable, so he didn't refuse.

Ye Liuyun also introduced He Lian Xiu and Ye Tiandao to them.

After Ye Liuyun's confirmation, Ye Tiandao finally relaxed his guard and began eating with everyone.

"Group Leader, we have three days left before we send people to carry out the mission.

What should we do?"

Lao Wei asked Ye Liuyun.

"Wait.

Wait for the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps to come after us.

When they send a batch, we eliminate a batch! Until we wipe them out completely."

Ye Liuyun said calmly.

The Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps Ye Liuyun mentioned is the dominant power in this area, governing a vast buffer zone that includes five villages and more than twenty mercenary corps and bandit gangs.

However, this Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps consists of only two early Fourth Tier strongmen.

Within the whole power structure, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

Tiger Might Mercenary Corps is just shrimp; the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps is merely a small fish, so Ye Liuyun doesn't need to worry about them at all.

"Fine, if they come in batches, with the three of you it's easy to deal with them."

Lao Wei also said.

"You can't rely solely on the three of us; you have no self-protection ability.

Starting tomorrow, Ye Tiandao will begin training you; everyone must take part!"

Ye Liuyun told them.

"Alright!"

Everyone agreed unanimously.

"What about me?"

Lan'er spoke up, causing the others to burst into laughter.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "You follow me, and I'll train you personally!"

He seemed to joke, but was actually very curious about the little girl.

Usually, sealed powers are legacies left by strong ones.

Sealing the Soul is done to protect people.

Moreover, the power and Soul observed by the clone are likely legacies of Ninth Realm strongmen.

He wouldn't dare directly attack that Divine Soul Power.

"What is this little girl's status that such powerful individuals would leave a legacy and guard her?"

"Or perhaps that Soul intends to wait until she becomes strong, then perform a soul seizure?"

Ye Liuyun can't say for now; he can only keep watching.

Everyone had a hearty meal and formed a good impression of Ye Liuyun, the new Group Leader.

Afterwards, everyone returned to rest.

Their dwelling is a series of Caves dug at the foot of the mountain.

The two women who previously offered themselves again asked Ye Liuyun if he needed their service, even inviting him to live with them, but Ye Liuyun declined both.

Ye Liuyun only took He Lian Xiu and Ye Tiandao with him, dug another slightly larger Cave elsewhere, and moved in.

"Do we really have to take them to investigate the situation?"

He Lian Xiu asked in confusion.

It's not that they lack compassion, but they think they cannot stay here long.

Ye Liuyun immediately shared the information he knew with the two of them.

"From what we see now, the main army intends to launch a direct attack on the border battlefield, and will likely meet resistance from strong Martial Cultivators.

We also need to develop here for a while and find the key to breakthrough first."

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he also informed Yu Xiaofeng of the situation here.

He told Yu Xiaofeng that there's no need to rush to bring troops over; if they come, they should wait outside the border.

"Then what do we train tomorrow?"

Ye Tiandao also asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun told them, "We'll follow the Death Legion's training program.

However, some of them have a weak foundation and little combat experience, so progress will probably be slow.

You don't need to rush either; just take them slowly."

"What about me, what should I do?"

He Lian Xiu asked.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "You stay by my side and watch me, so I don't get lured away by those women!"

He Lian Xiu let out a snort of laughter, "The mission is indeed important.

We really have to keep an eye on you, after all!"

The three of them chatted for a while, then all began to cultivate.

The clone roamed outside the mountain hollow, keeping watch while surveying the surrounding forces and passing Martial Cultivators.

After a night passed, Ye Tiandao immediately began training these Mercenaries.

"Big brother, I also want training!"

Lan'er proactively approached Ye Liuyun.

"Then tell me, what can you do now?"

Ye Liuyun smiled and asked her.

"I can cultivate!"

Saying that, Lan'er demonstrated.

Ye Liuyun, using his Golden Pupil, saw her True Essence circulating and confirmed she was indeed cultivating.

It seems she already has a ready-made technique in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Is this okay?"

After Lan'er demonstrated briefly, she asked Ye Liuyun.

"That's not wrong.

But could you first tell me what technique you are cultivating?

Also, who are your parents?

And how did you get separated from them?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"I know the name of this technique, but I just can't say it! My parents are the same; I can't say their names either.

They fought with someone, then said it was dangerous, and my mother had someone take me away.

But the person who took me was eaten by a fierce beast, and then I met Uncle Mo, who brought me here."

Lan'er tried hard to explain to Ye Liuyun.

She actually knows many things but just can't articulate them, including her parents' names and appearances, which she does remember.

"Perhaps some of her memories have been sealed!"

Ye Liuyun thought immediately.

"It's okay!"

Ye Liuyun promptly comforted her.

"Then can you also use other techniques

or only this one?"

Ye Liuyun asked her again.
