Chapter 2194: Old Tricks Repeated

Ye Liuyun only brought a few martial cultivator experts and Black Armor Guards, along with Liang Xue and others, returning to the Alien Battlefield to train against the Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons.

The Zhongxing Dynasty had issued a warrant for their arrest across its territory, and everywhere dispatched martial cultivator experts to conduct strict inspections.

So Ye Liuyun and his companions would not go adventuring during this period, since there was nothing else to do, they all went to the Alien Battlefield to train.

The battle between Ye Liuyun and the Zhongxing Dynasty caused the number of martial cultivators in the Alien Battlefield to decrease.

Therefore he naturally ought to make amends, taking this opportunity to kill more of the Foreign Tribe.

Moreover, he himself has had no chance to fight directly lately and also needs to train to improve.

This time, when fighting the Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons, he specially picked opponents at the Eighth Realm to fight, squeezing his own potential.

Furthermore, during battle he used neither Soul nor Bloodline Power, only Mysterious Origin, Spatial Power, and blade intent to take on higher-level opponents.

After Wu Kun set up a teleportation array in Muyang City, Ye Liuyun sent him to the southern ferry landing to build another teleportation array, preparing to fully connect the defensive positions of these troops.

The Zhongxing Dynasty suffered a defeat, came up empty-handed, and was played around by Ye Liuyun.

They had dispatched large amounts of manpower and material, yet could not find anyone, so they naturally took out their anger on some major powers.

Moreover, for the Alien Battlefield mission they did not want to commit their own people, so they could only oppress other forces, making resistance consciousness across the regions even more evident.

Several families also imitated Ye Liuyun's rebellion, but in the end they all ended in failure.

Ye Liuyun's example also gradually began to take effect, and the Zhongxing Dynasty's control over the Central Region grew weaker and weaker.

In the end, the martial cultivators sent to the Alien Battlefield were still half-filled by the Zhongxing Dynasty's own people before the gap was filled.

The Imperial Guard they dispatched, after conducting local investigations and inquiries, eventually pointed their suspicions also at Ye Liuyun.

After all, many people have seen the Death Legion's attire, which is still quite recognizable.

They also all believed that, although it was not Ye Liuyun himself coming, surely he had dispatched a large army to sneak over.

But once the fight was over, they would withdraw again.

The Zhongxing Dynasty, to retaliate against Ye Liuyun, also sent many martial cultivators, hiding some experts in the Space World, and rushed through the Alien Battlefield toward the Royal City of the Dongyun Dynasty.

But as soon as these people exited the Royal City's teleportation array, they were controlled by Soul Cultivators and forced to sign a Divine Soul Contract pledging allegiance to the Dongyun Dynasty.

The martial cultivator experts they brought along were all captured as prisoners.

The Dongyun Dynasty's teleportation array is now strictly defended.

Every passing martial cultivator is checked individually for Divine Soul Contracts, letting none slip through, in order to prevent Zhongxing Dynasty spies or revenge.

Mo Xiaotian, helpless, organized another attempt to build a ferry to cross the Eastern Boundless Sea, but the result was the same—intercepted by monsters and the whole thing sank.

"Those monsters really bear a grudge; they haven't let up even now."

Ye Liuyun smirked inwardly.

Infuriated, Mo Xiaotian wanted to send the Imperial Guard to detour past the Pass of Souls Mountain.

But he was still talked out of it by his subordinates.

"God King, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years!"

"Yes! God King, sending the great army around via Pass of Souls Mountain consumes too much time and even more resources."

"It would be better to wait for an opportunity."

Mo Xiaotian was also full of anger: "Wait for an opportunity?

"How to wait?

"You tell me!"

Someone suggested: "It is said that Ye Liuyun started out in the Southern Region.

"Next time we cross the Boundless Sea, we might as well make a move from the Southern Region."

Mo Xiaotian also nodded in agreement.

"The Eastern Boundless Sea has lately been too sinister; the sea monsters won't let him pass, so next time he can only try the Southern Region."

Someone else also suggested: "Whenever Ye Liuyun's people teleport over, they must certainly pass through the Alien Battlefield.

"We should increase the number of experts sent to the Alien Battlefield to keep watch there.

"Anyone who is a martial cultivator coming from the Eastern Region, once they enter the Central Region, we must capture them and perform a Soul Search inspection.

"Just like them, we should maintain a strict defensive stance, letting none slip through.

This suggestion also reminded Mo Xiaotian.

Accordingly, he immediately dispatched several hundred martial cultivators, distributing them among three high-level battlefields.

Since the conflict between the Spirit Clan and the Zhongxing Dynasty has ended, the Alien Battlefield has also gradually begun to open to martial cultivators at the Ninth Layer Early Stage.

Therefore, the people they sent have a highest realm of Ninth Layer Early Stage.

These people, besides routinely monitoring passing martial cultivators, will also take turns killing the Foreign Tribe to exchange for training resources when they have nothing else to do.

They conduct themselves very discreetly, rarely attacking human martial cultivators, and try to stay hidden as much as possible.

They feel these ambushes are extremely concealed and will not be discovered.

But Ye Liuyun had already entered the Alien Battlefield a step ahead.

Suddenly, the increase in martial cultivators from the Central Region immediately aroused his suspicion.

"When did the people of the Central Region become so eager to come slaughter the Foreign Tribe?

And they come in such numbers!"

Ye Liuyun also secretly followed them, seizing the opportunity during their battles to perform a Soul Search.

These people all wore artifacts defending against Spiritual Soul Attacks, but now they cannot withstand Ye Liuyun's and his clone's practice attacks.

The two of their Soul powers, among Divine Realm martial cultivators, are already considered quite strong.

After learning these people's purpose, Ye Liuyun immediately killed them, then had his clone change into the likeness of one of them to impersonate them, mix into the Central Region martial cultivators, and gather intelligence.

He himself continued to bring his entourage to kill the Foreign Tribe for training, without delaying anything.

Until Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang received the news, the Zhongxing Dynasty dispatched five thousand Imperial Guard to rush to the Southern Region, and at the same time gathered a hundred thousand troops from the Northern Region, also rushing to the Southern Region.

Ye Liuyun and Song An discussed together and both thought that Zhongxing Wangchao intended to cross the boundless sea from the Southern Region.

"It's fine; the Southern Region's Teleportation Array has already been built, and I will also send some strong ones to support the Southern Region."

Ye Liuyun immediately dispatched the six hundred Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators he subdued last time, departing from the Royal City and teleporting to the Southern Region to assist in defense.

Yu Xiaofeng also personally led a contingent of higher‑ranked soldiers conscripted from the Eastern Region, hurrying to the Southern Region for deployment.

A large quantity of Crystal Stone cannons and Divine Crystal resources were continuously dispatched to the Southern Region, preparing for a counter‑landing.

"We should act now! While they are busy crossing southward, we will go to their north and cause trouble!"

Song An also made a suggestion to Ye Liuyun.

Thus, Ye Liuyun donned the Invisibility Cloak, and his duplicate was taken into the Space World.

The duplicate asked leave from the Martial Cultivator leading the Alien Battlefield, intending to return to the Central Region for a trip.

In this way, Ye Liuyun used the Thousand Illusion Technique to impersonate a Zhongxing Wangchao Martial Cultivator, infiltrating Zhongxing Wangchao once again.

After slipping in, he repeatedly altered his appearance, concealed his trail through various Teleportation Arrays, and finally arrived at the foothold Song An had selected for him in advance—a city in the north's eastern side, Fengqi City.

Upon arrival, Ye Liuyun resumed his old trick, taking control of Chengzhu Fu and assuming the City Lord's appearance, then gradually expanding outward point by point, teleporting the large army piece by piece.

He cultivated his own sphere of influence, secretly conscripted troops, dispatched Black Armor Guards, and captured strong Martial Cultivators.

At this time, Zhongxing Wangchao was occupied with the southern crossing and could not attend to the minor affairs of Chengzhu Fu.

Zhongxing Wangchao this time mobilized 100,000 troops, allocated 5,000 Imperial Guard, launching another large‑scale offensive.

However, the number of ferries was limited.

This time only six large ships were built, and they could transport just over 4,000 people at a time.
