Chapter 2145: Forced Concession

At this moment, within the Spirit Clan, everything has turned into a mess.

Everyone is busy rescuing themselves and cannot spare anyone to hunt an unseen Foreign Tribe.

Those Foreign Tribes formed battle formations and advanced forward, killing anyone they saw.

Many strong Martial Cultivators of the Spirit Clan suffered heavy losses as soon as they engaged, being wiped out by the Foreign Tribes' combined attack tactics.

In the end, a few core elders of the Spirit Clan and powerful veterans who had hidden for years intervened, finally eliminating those Foreign Tribes.

But the Spirit Clan also suffered heavy casualties; more than fifty Ninth Realm elders alone perished.

Many elite disciples of the Seventh and Eighth Layers also died.

The main reason is that the Foreign Tribes appeared exactly where some strong and elite members lived, leaving them no escape.

Many Spirit Clan Martial Cultivators did not expect that these Foreign Tribes, mostly at the Eighth Layer, could exert such great power.

The Spirit Clan elders, looking at their base reduced to ruins, wore deeply furrowed brows.

"How did these Foreign Tribes arrive?"

The Spirit Clan's core elders began investigating, but no one could explain clearly.

Even the Martial Cultivator who first discovered Ye Liuyun died at the hands of the Foreign Tribes.

In the end, the Spirit Clan could only attribute the incident to a Foreign Tribe ambush.

Clan Chief Lin Tianqi also gathered all core elders together and said to the Spirit Clan Grand Elder:

"Lianhui, the Spirit Clan now faces internal and external troubles! If reconciliation is possible, pursue it as much as possible; we can afford a temporary loss, first stabilize the Spirit Clan internally!"

Lin Tianqi has been in seclusion for years, no longer attending to the Spirit Clan's daily affairs.

This time, he was also roused by those Foreign Tribes.

After stepping out to inquire about the situation and pondering for a while, he decided to first soothe internal sentiments, then act unitedly outward.

Grand Elder Yu Lianhui also felt deeply guilty.

This Foreign Tribe ambush unexpectedly alarmed many veteran strongmen.

These people were already clearly dissatisfied with these core elders.

"It is our incompetence that has plunged the Spirit Clan into such a predicament!"

He also voluntarily admitted fault to the Clan Chief.

"No problem, the world is ever-changing; rises and falls are normal, you need not dwell on it too much."

Lin Tianqi comforted them briefly, then returned to continue his seclusion.

Yu Lianhui, leading a group of core elders, reexamined the Spirit Clan's stance toward the Central Dynasty and the Dongyun Dynasty.

They were also forced to make concessions, temporarily abandoning the desire to covet Ye Liuyun's Divine Crystal spirit demon.

"Agree to Ye Liuyun's request: as long as they withdraw from Spirit Clan territory and restore Chamber of Commerce supplies, that will suffice."

Yu Lianhui personally issued orders to the core elder sent to the front line for negotiations.

At the same time, they dispatched two core elders: one to negotiate with the Central Dynasty to restore bilateral relations, and another to the Alien Battlefield to convey the Spirit Clan's resolve against the Foreign Tribes to the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

To show sincerity, the Spirit Clan even sent two Ninth Layer Late Stage, twenty Ninth Layer Mid Stage, and twenty Ninth Layer Early Stage Martial Cultivators to join the actual Alien Battlefield.

For the High-Level Battlefield and the Low-Level Battlefield, the Spirit Clan each sent two hundred disciples.

When Ye Liuyun saw the Spirit Clan had fully yielded, he also realized that if he kept pressing, there would be no benefit.

Thus he let Yu Xiaofeng agree to the Spirit Clan's request.

However, they only withdrew their troops back to Kangning City, and the Chamber of Commerce only reopened in Kangning City.

The Spirit Clan needs supplies and can purchase them uniformly in Kangning City.

Ye Liuyun also temporarily stationed himself in Kangning City, guarded by Zhang Heng leading twenty Ninth Realm Black Armor Guards.

He Lian Xiu and Yu Xiaofeng, with the garrison of Kangning City, retreated to Lin'an City.

The 150,000-strong army withdrawn from the Spirit Clan's area took over Kangning City.

Both sides returned to normal, and the large-scale war state was lifted.

Ye Tiandao, Lei Ming, and Long Nv once again led troops back to the Alien Battlefield, continuing their training.

The Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain reinforcements also returned to their respective clans.

Ye Liuyun, of course, also sent many resources as thanks.

After seeing them off, Ye Liuyun personally went to the Red Building to thank Yao Hong.

If not for these allies defending Kangning City, he might not have achieved such a great victory.

"I truly didn't expect it; in such a short time, you have developed so rapidly!"

Yao Hong was also amazed at Ye Liuyun's rapid development.

Especially since a sudden surge of Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators appeared around Ye Liuyun, causing these major powers to worry that once his influence grew, he might turn on them.

"It's just luck!"

Ye Liuyun humbly said.

"Will King Ye not, because of rapid development, eventually forget us allies?"

Yao Hong also voiced her concerns directly.

Her words also reminded Ye Liuyun.

His power has grown, so these powers' worries are inevitable.

Ye Liuyun immediately said, "When I previously cooperated with Pavilion Master Yao, I always thought I was overreaching Red Luan Pavilion, so I never signed any contract with Pavilion Master Yao.

I can understand Pavilion Master's concerns.

How about we seize this chance to sign an equal contract?"

Ye Liuyun proactively proposed the contract, putting her at ease.

Yao Hong smiled relievedly, "No need! With those words, I am reassured."

There's no eternal cooperation in this world; we don't need to be bound by a contract!

Seeing Ye Liuyun's sincere attitude, she realized she had been overthinking.

At least Ye Liuyun doesn't have that idea yet.

As for the future, that's too far off; she doesn't need to think about it so much.

Because next, it's also her turn to act against the Spirit Clan.

Ye Liuyun has temporarily made peace with the Spirit Clan, but she won't let them off.

She wants to give the Spirit Clan another Yi Dao while they are weak.

If she signs a cooperation agreement with Ye Liuyun now, he might later suspect she deliberately tied him to her.

Through her investigation of Ye Liuyun, she now knows his character: he dislikes being coerced and threatened, but values loyalty and righteousness greatly.

She believes that if she really gets into trouble, Ye Liuyun will not fail to help her.

Ye Liuyun, after pacifying the Red Luan Pavilion, returned and thought it over, still deciding to personally go to the Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain to show his stance to the leaders of the two major forces, to avoid future misunderstandings.

Thus Ye Liuyun went again to the Spirit Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain, personally delivering some resources.

The Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain originally had some elders who thought this way, but seeing Ye Liuyun come alone and bring resources to show his stance, they all dispelled these thoughts.

The Dragon Clan's chief saw clearly and never doubted Ye Liuyun.

As for the Beast King, since he gained the Hua Xiangyuan sisters, he understands Ye Liuyun better, knowing he is not the kind to betray and abandon righteousness, and moreover Ye Liuyun has many monster beast friends in Chaotic Beast Mountain, so he also doesn't worry.

Ye Liuyun, after visiting those two major powers, also made a trip back to the Profound Heaven Sect.

The Profound Heaven Sect is now also worried that Ye Liuyun no longer looks up to them.

Ye Liuyun's strength is now so great that the Profound Heaven Sect has become a dispensable ally to him.

But upon returning, Ye Liuyun first paid respects to his master, then sent many cultivation resources to the sect; afterward all the elders went to pay their respects, causing the Profound Heaven Sect's elders to all praise Ye Liuyun for respecting his teacher and valuing the Dao, not forgetting the sect.

So the Profound Heaven Sect also dispelled its doubts.
