Chapter 2247: Endless Strife

Stepping into the true Alien Battlefield of the Divine Realm has been Ye Liuyun's long-held wish.

Now this goal has finally been achieved; he can compete against the Foreign Tribe on a real battlefield.

After he exited the Teleportation Array, he found the scene before him unusually familiar.

Because the base layout here is almost identical to that of the Trial Battlefield, except the area is more than ten times larger.

There are no commercial establishments like taverns here; only a hall of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance allows martial cultivators to purchase goods directly.

The buildings within the base are all individual side courtyards, serving as residences for the strong and the leaders.

The remaining areas are all open spaces where martial cultivators can rest at will.

Before Ye Liuyun arrived, he had already notified Li Yuanlang and the soldier leader he had previously sent.

"Hahaha, you brat, you've finally come!"

Zhao Hu's loud laughter came from afar, accompanied by a soldier leader who went up to meet him.

"Senior!"

Ye Liuyun respectfully saluted Zhao Hu.

"Don't be polite! But your cultivation..." Zhao Hu glanced at Ye Liuyun's cultivation, finding it only Mid-Eighth Realm, and didn't know how to continue.

He wanted to say Ye Liuyun's cultivation was too low, but feared dampening his enthusiasm.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain much, merely saying his strength was barely sufficient.

"Good! Coming early to train isn't bad! Let's go, to our garrison!"

Zhao Hu led Ye Liuyun away.

"How?"

"Is there another garrison?"

Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Sigh! It's a long story; let's talk as we walk."

"Xianying is still out there meeting us!"

Zhao Hu seemed to have something hard to say directly, so Ye Liuyun had no choice but to follow him, leaving this base.

But just before they left, a young leader, leading a squad of soldiers, intercepted Zhao Hu.

"Zhao Hu, halt! Who let you enter the city?"

That leader shouted in question.

"Do I need to report to you just to enter the city?"

"You haven't even grown hair yet, what are you acting arrogant for?"

Zhao Hu scoffed and cursed.

"You..." the young man flushed red with anger.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Hu called out, about to take Ye Liuyun away.

But the young man shouted, "Halt!"

Then he waved his hand, having the soldiers surround Ye Liuyun and the others.

"I am acting on the Grand Leader's orders to intercept Ye Liuyun's great army..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Liuyun immediately concealed his Golden Pupil and slightly altered his face, doing so without anyone noticing.

From Zhao Hu's attitude, Li Xianying meeting them outside, and this leader's hostile demeanor and words, he guessed these people seemed to be coming for him.

So he slightly changed his appearance, not wanting this leader to recognize him.

That leader then said:

"All personnel passing through are within my inspection range."

"Pah! A lackey flaunting power, daring to challenge me as a petty leader! What if I just refuse to let you inspect?"

Zhao Hu clearly had a strong opinion of this person, speaking without giving any face.

"Ma Leader, we're just here to pick up our own disciple; don't believe me, take a look."

"It's not like we're just picking up a person, and you'd also go out of your way to cause trouble with us, right?"

Afterwards she appeared at the city gate in red robes, but did not cross the gate.

She obviously noticed Ye Liuyun's changed appearance, which is why she said that.

A flicker of fear passed through that leader's eyes; after glancing at Ye Liuyun and seeing his appearance didn't match, he didn't block them further.

Their group only focused on Zhao Hu, never really taking Ye Liuyun to heart.

He merely threatened Zhao Hu: "Don't let me catch you sneaking into the city again, or I won't let you off!"

Zhao Hu was about to retort, but Li Xianying cut him off: "Alright, hurry up and go, big brother is still waiting for you to return!"

Li Xianying was clearly reminding Zhao Hu not to stir up trouble.

Zhao Hu forcibly swallowed the words he wanted to curse, leading Ye Liuyun and the others out of the city to meet up with Li Xianying.

That young leader, meanwhile, stared hatefully at his back, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

After leaving the base, Ye Liuyun restored his appearance and asked Li Xianying: "Senior, what's going on?"

"What else could it be? Power struggles exist everywhere; this is the common ailment of human martial cultivators."

"Otherwise, how could we keep losing to the Foreign Tribe?"

Li Xianying sighed.

"That Ma Tiannan little punk just now was actually one of ours, who defected to Ruan Haotian's side! If you ever get a chance to strike, kill him for me!"

Zhao Hu told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded and agreed.

Then Li Xianying told Ye Liuyun, because Li Yuanlang released several Foreign Tribe captives during the battle.

That's because that Foreign Tribe captive originally had the chance to kill our people, but it didn't.

So we also let him off, which is also normal.

But Ma Tiannan went to the Leader and tattled on them.

And Leader Ruan Haotian, who was worried about having no chance to deal with Li Yuanlang and the others, seized this opportunity to expel them from the base, ordering them to redeem themselves by wiping out a hundred thousand Foreign Tribe troops before they could return to the base.

Ruan Haotian did this because Li Yuanlang and his group are too strong and popular, threatening his position as Leader.

He didn't dare to act directly, so he used an underhanded tactic.

He today sent Ma Tiannan to lead troops on patrol, originally intending to intercept Ye Liuyun as soon as he arrived, first seize control of him, then take control of his army, but unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun still managed to slip away.

"Your master didn't want to stoop to his level or cause internal strife, so he didn't fight him!"

Zhao Hu explained.

"But if we let this kind of person command troops, the losses would be even greater!"

Ye Liuyun immediately raised an objection.

"Look, this kid has the same temper as me and thinks the same way!"

Zhao Hu said.

"Those several hundred strong warriors from the Ten Thousand Gods Alliance you sent last time are all in their hands, so your master didn't want to fight them."

Ye Liuyun sensed the Slave Seals on those people, found they were still active, and thought letting them cooperate to take down Leader Ruan Haotian shouldn't be a problem.

Ye Liuyun, upon thinking this, notified Cao An to temporarily seal the Teleportation Array, allowing no exit or entry, until he had dealt with Leader Ruan Haotian, then they would talk again.

He also had him send out a message saying he would temporarily not go to the Alien Battlefield, so Leader Ruan Haotian wouldn't keep thinking about him.

Then Ye Liuyun also asked Zhao Hu and Li Xianying, "Who appointed the Leader?"

"They were chosen by everyone earlier."

"But he came early, so everyone elected him as Leader."

"After we arrived, he has always treated us well."

"But recently you've given us many reinforcements, we've fought many battles, so as our reputation spread, he decided to act against us."

"Now they've thrown us outside the base, with no one providing supplies, just hoping we'll fend for ourselves and perish!"

Zhao Hu explained to Ye Liuyun.
