Chapter 2124: Unable to Find Him

Li Hongtao gave Ye Liuyun a Transmission Talisman to send him a message, which in fact was already a violation.

The Administrator of the Alien Battlefield, in principle, should not take part in this kind of power struggle.

He also could not bear to see Ye Liuyun suppressed by these two great forces, so he gave Ye Liuyun special consideration.

Ye Liuyun felt deeply grateful, thanked repeatedly, and then left the Grand Hall.

After that, he did not linger in the city and went straight out of the city to fight.

As soon as he left the city, the Spirit Clan disciples immediately followed.

But they found that Ye Liuyun's trail was already gone.

"No wonder this kid can evade everyone's pursuit and survive; our people never catch him! He really runs fast!"

The Spirit Clan disciples also voiced their amazement.

It was only a short while, and after failing to keep watch on Ye Liuyun, they immediately lost him.

"Hey! Martial Cultivator, did you see the person who just passed by?"

A Spirit Clan disciple asked a Martial Cultivator who was heading into the city.

"You're talking about Ye Liuyun, right?

That pair of Golden Pupils is too conspicuous!"

The Martial Cultivator replied, then turned around and pointed toward a direction.

"He went that way.

He's moving extremely fast! You'd better hurry, otherwise I reckon you won't catch up with him!"

The Martial Cultivator kindly told them.

The Spirit Clan disciples immediately gave chase, and someone reported to the Spirit Clan that Ye Liuyun might have used an acceleration artifact.

Based on earlier information, the Spirit Clan also knew Ye Liuyun possessed speed‑enhancing wings, so it wasn't surprising; they merely ordered the disciples to monitor Ye Liuyun, hold off on acting, and send reinforcements later.

However, these Spirit Clan disciples could not pass up the chance to earn merit.

If they encountered Ye Liuyun, they would definitely strike at once.

They had no idea that the Martial Cultivator who just gave them directions was actually a manifestation of Ye Liuyun using the Thousand Illusion Technique.

By now, Ye Liuyun had already returned to the city and started cultivating in a spot.

He intended to first expend the body‑refining resources he had exchanged, then go out to deal with those Spirit Clan disciples.

Moreover, the three Black-clothed Person strongmen also needed time to recover their injuries.

"Let them search for a few days first! Once they can't find him, they should disperse!"

Ye Liuyun made up his mind and calmly continued his cultivation.

The Spirit Clan disciples could not find Ye Liuyun in the Alien Battlefield, but encountered many Foreign Tribe members; although they tried to avoid fighting them, the sheer number of Foreign Tribe made avoidance impossible at times, forcing them to act.

And once engaged in battle, it would attract more Foreign Tribe, sometimes requiring the use of a Token to break the encirclement.

So the Spirit Clan disciples' Token usage count kept being depleted.

The Spirit Clan disciples were so angry that they cursed Ye Liuyun's cunning every day.

"Did that guy hide in a corner as soon as he entered the Alien Battlefield and refuse to come out?"

A Spirit Clan disciple speculated.

"It's very possible; he knows many are searching for him, so he hides deliberately to make the Foreign Tribe waste us!"

"Regardless of him, we'll split into three squads, search separately; we'll eventually find him! Everyone, conserve your Tokens."

"Once the Zhongxing Wangchao people arrive, we'll still have to use Tokens against them!"

The leading disciple instructed the group.

So the more than thirty people divided into three squads, each with over ten members, and scattered to continue the search.

Lin Yuan also briefed Ye Liuyun on the situation and even helped tally the Spirit Clan disciples' Token usage.

Ye Liuyun didn't rush to act, thinking they were still relatively concentrated and hard to deal with.

At that moment, he received Li Hongtao's Transmission Voice: the Zhongxing Wangchao people had just arrived, and they were all strong.

Ye Liuyun immediately summoned a hidden clone to scout the incoming Martial Cultivators.

A Steward was leading eight Martial Cultivators of Seventh/Eighth Level Realm out of the Teleportation Array.

The clone, using Golden Pupils, saw that all eight Martial Cultivators shared the same condition as the Black-clothed Persons: their realm was Ninth Layer Mid Stage, all concealed.

Clearly, Zhongxing Wangchao didn't send ordinary Martial Cultivators this time, but directly dispatched eight members of a hunting squad.

Others couldn't perceive it, but the Teleportation Array could sense their true realms.

"Hmm, then let them spar with the Spirit Clan disciples first!"

Ye Liuyun still did not act.

He planned to wait a bit longer to see what the Spirit Clan would do.

Soon, Liang Xue sent Ye Liuyun a Transmission Voice: "The Spirit Clan sent two disciples, both at Mid-Eighth Realm.

However, these two disciples have been out in the world for years; I don't know their identities.

These two disciples will not appear as Spirit Clan disciples; you must be extra careful."

After receiving the message, Ye Liuyun still could not determine which two were sent by the Spirit Clan.

Because the Alien Battlefield sees Martial Cultivators coming and going daily, there are many at Mid-Eighth Realm; currently the base has over two hundred people of that realm.

If they are adept at hiding their identities, unlike the lofty Spirit Clan disciples, Ye Liuyun cannot discern them and must wait until they appear.

"It seems both great forces are now playing dress‑up!"

Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly but ignored their movements and continued cultivating.

At first, both sides tried to avoid collisions, and after spotting each other, they kept a wide distance.

But after a few days, despite the many of them, Ye Liuyun's figure remained unfound, and each day they had to spend a great deal of time dealing with Foreign Tribe obstructions, causing both sides to grow anxious.

The Foreign Tribe hadn't suffered few losses at their hands; sensing the aura of the Ninefold Strong, many of them immediately retreated to their base.

Those eight Black-clothed Persons finally grew annoyed that the Spirit Clan disciples were in their way, fought with a group of Spirit Clan members, and after exhausting the disciples' Token uses, they killed them all.

The remaining Spirit Clan disciples immediately gathered together, searching for Ye Liuyun on one hand and hunting down those Black-clothed Persons on the other.

However, this time the Black-clothed Persons disguised themselves as ordinary Martial Cultivators, making their features inconspicuous.

Moreover, after succeeding, they immediately scattered, leaving the Spirit Clan disciples with no way to investigate.

Ye Liuyun then gave Lin Yuan the idea: "You suggest that the Spirit Clan disciples rob anyone they meet."

Whoever resists, that person is a powerhouse of the Dongxing Dynasty!

Lin Yuan immediately conveyed this suggestion to the Spirit Clan disciples.

Thus these people began to rob any Martial Cultivator they encountered, demanding they hand over their storage space.

Sure enough, the people of the Zhongxing Dynasty all refused to hand over their storage space, and soon two of them ran into the Spirit Clan disciples, who jointly killed them.

Ye Liuyun received this information from Lin Yuan and also felt that it was about time to take action.

Otherwise, those black-clothed persons of the Hunting Squad would soon be wiped out by the Spirit Clan.

He even wanted to catch some people to bring back as laborers!

Ye Liuyun, upon thinking this, also ended his cultivation and prepared to set out.

"I thought you were planning to stay hidden here all along!"

At that moment, a lazy voice came from afar.

Ye Liuyun followed the sound and saw that it was an ordinary-looking youth.

But that youth had a pair of cyan pupils.
