Chapter 2222: Subduing a Talented General

At that time the situation was too chaotic; Yuan Hao was being attacked by a raging wind and didn't see what treasure the invisible person beside Ye Liuyun was using to strike him.

But his Soul was not weak; he sensed that the invisible person beside Ye Liuyun was also chasing after him, so he dared not pause.

His Spatial Power was also not weak; even with Ye Liuyun and his clone overlapping space, they only gradually closed the distance to him.

He knew someone ahead was intercepting, so he didn't rush to cast the Technique on Yuan Hao again, but kept pursuing him from behind.

He thought Yuan Hao was a talented general; killing him would be a waste.

Yuan Hao kept running and realized there was an interception ahead, but he still dared not stop; he could only wait and see.

When Yuan Hao reached Soul Crossing Mountain, he saw a Song Girl holding a huqin in her arms, with dozens of Soul Cultivators nearby, and immediately knew he couldn't escape.

He acted decisively, directly releasing his Soul, charging into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, intending to control Ye Liuyun first.

As for the clone, being in invisible mode prevented him from gauging its realm, so he dared not strike rashly.

Each of Yuan Hao's decisions was actually very decisive, and under normal circumstances they were all correct.

He just hadn't expected to encounter an abnormal Ye Liuyun.

Now that was exactly walking into a trap of his own making.

When Yuan Hao was enveloped by Golden Light, he instantly knew he was doomed.

"Alas! You are the strongest opponent I've ever seen! I have been defeated!"

He admitted.

"You are also the strongest opponent I've ever seen!"

Ye Liuyun said sincerely.

"Will you come over to help me?"

Ye Liuyun asked him again.

"Can't you control people?

Why do you still have to ask me?"

Yuan Hao retorted.

"I want to hear your genuine thoughts!"

Ye Liuyun said calmly.

"Alas! If Mo Xiaotian had your ability, I wouldn't have been defeated so badly! Very well, since you think I'm still useful, I don't want to die right now!

Even if I must die, I hope to die on the Alien Battlefield!"

Yuan Hao sighed briefly and agreed to Ye Liuyun's proposal.

Ye Liuyun nodded, but first placed a Slave Seal on him before releasing him.

He now has no time to discern whether his words are true or false, so he can only handle it this way for now.

Then, Ye Liuyun immediately ordered Ye Tiandao and Yu Xiaofeng to cease the pursuit, regroup and clear the battlefield on the spot, and then rushed to Soul Crossing Mountain to rendezvous with him.

"Master, should we kill him?"

The Song Girl looked at Yuan Hao and asked.

"Don't kill him! He's already under my control; why kill him?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"He can't defeat the master; he's useless.

What's the use of keeping him?"

The Song Girl asked in confusion.

Ye Liuyun explained to her: "If you can't beat yourself, you must kill the opponent; otherwise the world would just have fewer and fewer people!"

"Fewer people would be safer, wouldn't it?"

The Song Girl asked again.

Ye Liuyun shook his head, first sent Yuan Hao to gather the remnants, bring them over to surrender, and then continued his explanation to her:

"This world is not only about slaughter! Although this battle is inevitable, the purpose of war is certainly not to kill more people!

Moreover, all of the Human Race faces a greater threat; we should strive to unite everyone and act collectively against the outside.

Now it is as if our internal war has already ended, so if we can avoid killing, we should not kill!"

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking to her, he realized she didn't understand at all.

Through the Slave Seal he learned that the Song Girl was puzzled by her own contradictory statements about killing or not killing.

Ye Liuyun, helpless, pulled her into the Space World and let her go play with Xiao Lan'er.

Inside the Space World there are Lan Xin and Qing Yan, who can slowly educate her.

The Song Girl is not old, but her realm is very high, indicating she is also a cultivation prodigy.

Now the war is about to end, and Ye Liuyun thought it better to further train her as a model.

Soon, Yuan Hao gathered fewer than fifty thousand remnants, awaiting Ye Liuyun's reorganization.

These soldiers were all loyal to him; when he said surrender, they surrendered without any hesitation and all signed loyalty contracts.

Afterwards, Ye Tiandao, Yu Xiaofeng, and Magic Vine all rushed to Soul Crossing Mountain.

Ye Liuyun put away Magic Vine and gave them a brief introduction.

Yuan Hao also reminded Ye Liuyun that Zhongxing Wangchao still has a Protector.

Although they have never seen the Eight Great Vajras, their strength is certainly superior to theirs.

Ye Liuyun didn't linger, but sent Yuan Hao with his own soldiers to hasten to besiege Zhongxing Wangchao.

Yu Xiaofeng instead led troops to garrison Soul Crossing Mountain.

Ye Liuyun left him a thousand Martial Cultivators of Ninth Realm, the other Martial Cultivators and Ye Tiandao's Spear Unit, he took them all into the Space World, preemptively using the teleport Black Tower, and rushed to Zhongxing Wangchao.

Ye Liuyun achieved a complete victory, and the news of his incorporation of Yuan Hao's army spread rapidly.

Among the common folk of the Central Region, some are surprised, some cheer, and some worry.

Those who worry do so because of Ye Liuyun's flooding of a hundred thousand troops, fearing he is even more brutal than Zhongxing Wangchao.

There is another important force that is even more tense.

That is the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

They know Ye Liuyun is about to engage in the final battle.

The Protector of Zhongxing Wangchao has still not stepped forward.

Previously another Protector of Zhongxing Wangchao wielded great deterrence against the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance.

However, that Protector indeed fell on the Alien Battlefield.

Now it depends on whether Ye Liuyun has the ability to deal with that last Protector.

Thus the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance also dispatched some top experts; if Ye Liuyun gets a chance to win, they will intervene.

If that Protector is too powerful and Ye Liuyun has no chance to win, at least they can learn the Protector's strength.

Therefore Ye Liuyun's upcoming battle can truly be said to be watched by all.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome of this final battle.

At this moment, Mo Xiaotian still has fewer than 30,000 Imperial Guard in his hand, and 20,000 city‑defending soldiers.

He gathered all the Martial Cultivators of the Imperial Family who have reached the Ninth Realm, totaling fewer than a thousand.

Some Imperial Family members urged him to withdraw from the Royal City early while Yuan Hao's massive army has not yet arrived, to avoid being besieged.

But Mo Xiaotian disagreed, preferring to die in the Royal City rather than leave.

He also knows that others who flee might survive, but he certainly cannot escape.

Don't be fooled by the vastness of the Divine Realm; it truly has no place for him.

Yet many Imperial Family members, while Yuan Hao's army is still not here, have already begun to defect.

And the city‑defending soldiers, seeing the Imperial Family members defect, also fled.

This is also a psychological warfare deliberately crafted by Ye Liuyun.

He deliberately let Yuan Hao reorganize his troops while advancing here, to apply psychological pressure on those whose will is weak, causing them to defect.

In fact, since Ye Liuyun used the Black Tower to teleport here, he has already shut down all Teleportation Arrays linking to the Royal City, and with his army truly surrounded the Royal City on three sides.

He also dispatched Liu Yang, Mo Shaowen, a Soul Cultivator, and over a thousand Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators to intercept those trying to flee, capturing each of them and bringing them back.
