Chapter 2120: When the Snipe and the Clam Clash
"Who is it?"
The Spirit Clan disciple couldn't see anyone, yet he was solidly punched.
Ye Liuyun had long seen his intention, knew he didn't want to waste the Token, so he acted and intercepted him back.
Then he immediately withdrew.
"Invisibility?"
The Spirit Clan disciple also thought that perhaps someone was invisible nearby, so Ma Shan released the energy from the Token.
However, this time, just like before, it only killed that one Foreign Tribe, and the energy dissipated.
He was pondering what to do, when suddenly within the Sea of Consciousness, Ye Liuyun's Soul rushed in and directly launched a Soul Search on him.
"Three Ninth Realm Elders, fifty-six disciples! The Spirit Clan really spares nothing! They sent so many at once!"
Ye Liuyun received the information and, in passing, placed a Slave Seal on him.
"Go back and treat your wounds! When you return, say you encountered a Foreign Tribe, used the Token twice, barely escaped, so those old guys won't release their Soul into your Sea of Consciousness to inspect."
"From now on, report the base's situation to me at any time!"
Ye Liuyun instructed him.
He arranged it this way because as long as the Token can still be used, it will protect his Sea of Consciousness, and others won't dare to examine it.
"Yes!"
The Spirit Clan disciple, named Lin Yuan, gave a reluctant assent and turned back to the base.
Lin Yuan didn't walk far back before encountering a Spirit Clan disciple; seeing him injured, those people kindly escorted him back to the base.
After returning to the base, Lin Yuan both treated his wounds and reported the base's situation to Ye Liuyun.
"The Elder said that people from the Zhongxing Wangchao have also arrived.
Also three Ninth Realm Elders, sixty-two young disciples.
They haven't left the city yet."
Lin Yuan transmitted information to Ye Liuyun through the Slave Seal.
"Good, inform me when you have news!"
Ye Liuyun received the message and, using the Invisibility Cloak, concealed his form.
Since the Spirit Clan and the Zhongxing Wangchao are rivals, he doesn't need to act; he can stir them up and then watch the spectacle from the side.
He, invisible, crossed the Spirit Clan disciple's search line and released several Martial Cultivators from captivity.
When the Dongyun Dynasty's disciples emerged, those Martial Cultivators began to discuss.
"I saw with my own eyes a Spirit Clan disciple seize Prince Ye, put him into storage space; how could that be wrong!"
A Martial Cultivator shouted loudly, as if arguing with others.
"What does that Martial Cultivator look like?"
"Tell me!"
The other Martial Cultivators asked him.
"That Spirit Clan disciple was carrying me; I didn't see his face! In such a case, how could I dare to expose it? Otherwise, would I still be alive?"
The Martial Cultivator explained.
"Nonsense! If they captured him, why haven't those Spirit Clan members withdrawn?"
"They're still searching now!"
Another Martial Cultivator retorted.
"That Spirit Clan disciple who captured the king also pretended to search! How could I know his intention!"
The Martial Cultivator grew impatient, raising his voice louder.
"Shh!"
An older Martial Cultivator reminded him, glancing at the Zhongxing Wangchao Martial Cultivators.
"This doesn't concern us; you should stop talking nonsense, or you might lose your life!"
The older Martial Cultivator reminded.
"I wasn't talking nonsense..." The Martial Cultivator lowered his voice, muttered a line, and fell silent.
They, a few of them, brushed past the Zhongxing Wangchao group and returned to the base.
But their conversation had long been overheard by the Zhongxing Wangchao people.
"Is what this person said true?"
Someone among them asked.
"From his agitated look, it doesn't seem like he's lying!"
Someone said.
"The Spirit Clan is deliberately continuing to search for Ye Liuyun, perhaps to confuse us!"
Someone even voiced the words Ye Liuyun wanted them to speculate about.
The leading Martial Cultivator thought for a moment, then instructed the others: "Since we don't know who captured Ye Liuyun, we won't let any of them go free!
After all, the Spirit Clan is also our rival.
Even if we find Ye Liuyun, they will come to snatch him; better to eliminate them first!"
The others all agreed, immediately splitting into several squads to specifically search for Spirit Clan disciples.
Ye Liuyun, invisible nearby, found their decision very satisfactory.
"These two groups, both at the Eighth Realm, have really splashed the cash! This will be entertaining!"
Ye Liuyun smiled inwardly; after the Martial Cultivators he had arranged returned, he would pull them into the Space World, quietly trailing behind the Zhongxing Wangchao Martial Cultivators, waiting to scavenge.
The Spirit Clan disciples were unguarded, searching individually and scattered, which conveniently allowed the Zhongxing Wangchao to strike.
But they had tokens for self-defense, which also made the Zhongxing Wangchao group pay a heavy price.
Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense discovered that they actually had two groups of people, who were completely wiped out when the Spirit Clan disciples used a token just once.
"If this continues, these Zhongxing Wangchao people won't be a match for the Spirit Clan disciples!"
Ye Liuyun was still worried in his heart.
But soon, the Zhongxing Wangchao Martial Cultivators also discovered that the Spirit Clan disciples' tokens were harder to deal with, and began reporting to the dynasty, requesting reinforcements.
They also changed their strategy; upon discovering the Spirit Clan disciples, they sent out Martial Cultivators with slightly higher cultivation levels to attack them one by one.
They even used bows and arrows and other long-range attack weapons to pursue and kill the Spirit Clan disciples.
The Spirit Clan disciples also immediately reported to the elders outside.
"Gather together, split into several teams, one side searches for Ye Liuyun while the other side deals with them!"
The Elder advised them.
Both sides have three Elders each, so there's no need for them to fight now; they're just waiting for the disciples to find Ye Liuyun before saying anything.
Not long after, the reinforcements of the Zhongxing Wangchao disciples arrived, divided into three batches, each with over thirty people.
Lin Yuan also told Ye Liuyun all of this news.
"Now the strengths of both sides are roughly equal!"
Ye Liuyun also relaxed, following them at ease to watch their battle.
When the Spirit Clan disciples gather together, the Zhongxing Wangchao side becomes even harder to deal with.
If they attack together, they are easily wiped out all at once by the Spirit Clan disciples using their tokens.
But if they act alone, they are no match for those Spirit Clan disciples.
So for a while, they couldn't think of any good plan and could only monitor those Spirit Clan disciples.
"These Spirit Clan disciples, once gathered, are really tough to deal with!"
Ye Liuyun also had no solution to this, and could only wait to see how the Zhongxing Wangchao would act.
After the reinforcements of the Zhongxing Wangchao arrived, they joined together with the previous disciples.
Among them were three black-clothed persons; their avatars could tell at a glance that those three people were concealing their cultivation levels.
"Those three people are at least at the Ninth Layer Mid Stage level!"
The avatar told Ye Liuyun.
"It seems the Zhongxing Wangchao are also people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!"
Ye Liuyun also became wary in his heart.
As soon as those three black-clothed persons arrived, they immediately took command, leading seven or eight disciples to attack a group of Spirit Clan disciples.
The Spirit Clan disciples could not discern the cultivation levels of those three black-clothed persons, still thinking the forces were evenly matched, so they launched an attack and began fighting directly.
As soon as they clashed, the Spirit Clan disciples suffered a great loss; three of them didn't even react before being killed in a single blow.
By the time the Spirit Clan disciples reacted, they had already been killed half of their number by the Zhongxing Wangchao.
