Chapter 2266: As a Warning

After exterminating all the leftover forces left by the Foreign Tribe, Qiong Qi checked the numbers and asked Ye Liuyun, "Only ten in total?"

"The Foreign Tribe wants to save manpower, winning without fighting."

Their goal is to let these two Foreign Tribe strongmen infiltrate the Demon Race, to control the Demon Race's strong ones.

The two hidden Foreign Tribe members, if they can infiltrate the Demon Race in the Divine Realm, their threat becomes great.

Ye Liuyun also told Qiong Qi the Foreign Tribe's plan.

"However, the Corpse Demons here have realms not exceeding the Divine Realm; should we keep that portal?"

"This way we can later come at any time to mine exorcism stones."

Ye Liuyun wanted to hear Qiong Qi's opinion.

Qiong Qi thought for a moment and said, "Are you planning to hand this world over to the Demon Race for takeover?"

"How can you guarantee the Foreign Tribe won't send more strong ones to control them?"

"There are no resources here; it will soon decline and collapse, making its existence unnecessary."

"Keeping it is always a hidden danger!"

Ye Liuyun thought it over, nodded, and decided it's safer that way.

He only left the coordinates here inside the Black Tower's teleport, then returned to the Royal Palace with Qiong Qi.

Inside the Royal Palace, the ten remaining soldiers have already wiped out the incoming Corpse Demons.

Their strength makes killing these Corpse Demons below the Divine Realm very easy.

However, the elder from earlier died in the battle against the Corpse Demons.

A soldier hurriedly explained to Ye Liuyun, "We told him to stay put, but he insisted on acting, using a desperate style against the Corpse Demons; we were momentarily distracted, and he fell in battle!"

"Forget it! Clearly he asked for death himself!"

Qiong Qi also pleaded on the soldier's behalf.

Ye Liuyun also knew the elder acted deliberately, so he didn't trouble the soldier, merely ordered them to search around for resources, then boarded a Warship back to the portal area.

The several squads he sent out each subsequently found some exorcism stone mines and began mining.

When encountering Corpse Demons, they casually eliminated them with ease, encountering no danger.

Ye Liuyun stopped monitoring their progress and returned to the Demon Race in the Divine Realm, summoning some Demon elders and strong ones one by one for Soul Search, eventually finding three elders who knew the truth.

They all know that beyond the portal lies a Demon world of the Mortal Realm.

Moreover, that Mortal Realm Demon world was only brought under control by suppressing the Human Race with their help.

And these people still think that once the Demon Race becomes powerful, they will eradicate the Human Race.

For these Demons who constantly envision Demon domination of the world and enslaving the Human Race, Ye Liuyun is not inclined to be courteous.

In addition to those three Demon strongmen, Ye Liuyun also identified six Demon elders sharing the same mindset.

Facing the Witch, Ye Liuyun directly told them, "Honest people speak plainly; I know the thoughts of you nine."

"Your existence is the destabilizing factor of this world."

"I give you a choice."

"The first path: sacrifice the lives of you nine to allow your Demon Race to continue surviving in the Divine Realm."

"The second path: your entire Demon Race relocates to that Mortal Realm, forever away from the Divine Realm."

"I give you one hour to decide; after an hour, if no result, I will begin cleansing the Demon Race."

Ye Liuyun does this to completely resolve the Demon Race as an unstable factor.

"Let them either obey management or leave completely, and not cause trouble here."

"The reason he summoned the Witch is to warn the Demon Race not to entertain extra thoughts, and to honestly coexist with humans."

After Ye Liuyun left, he immediately recalled Ye Tiandao's Spearhead Unit, preparing to act against the Demon Race.

He will later leave the Divine Realm to seek an alliance, not knowing when he can return; this Demon Race instability must be resolved quickly.

In fact, he will not slaughter all the Demon Race.

But the current Demon strongmen and elders, he definitely intends to eliminate them all, then replace them with a weaker, more obedient batch.

"What's happening?"

The Witch still doesn't know why Ye Liuyun suddenly changed his attitude.

He knows the nine elders before him are relatively anti‑Human Race, but Ye Liuyun wasn't unaware before; waiting until now to act means he must have seized another leverage.

At this moment, those three elders also revealed their control over the Mortal Realm Demon Race.

After the Witch learned this, she had nothing left to say.

These Demon strongmen are indeed unstable factors for Ye Liuyun, so it's no wonder he wants to eliminate them.

Now they face the decision: whether the entire Demon Race should relocate, or sacrifice these nine strongmen.

The Witch also summoned some other Demon elders to let them know the truth, lest she later have no explanation for the other tribes.

All the elders disagree with a full‑race relocation.

"That side has already been occupied by the Foreign Tribe."

"Even without strong ones above the Divine Realm, there are still no resources; moving there would be courting our own extinction!"

Even the nine elders Ye Liuyun singled out also oppose the Demon relocation.

So in the end everyone's gaze focused on those nine, evidently waiting for them to speak up, to sacrifice themselves to preserve the Demon Race.

The Witch let out a long sigh, walked straight outside, unable to bear facing this scene.

After stepping out, he inhaled fresh air, sensed the aura of Ye Liuyun's strong ones, and felt a flood of emotions.

This whole series of events was actually first caused by his father.

If his father hadn't detained Ye Liuyun back then, it certainly wouldn't have escalated so severely.

He also didn't expect that the seemingly easy‑going young man would act without any hesitation.

The speed of development also far exceeds normal human comprehension.

After a while, the other Elders also came out one by one, handing a Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun.

Inside the Storage Ring were the corpses of those nine strong individuals.

Ye Liuyun examined it with his Divine Sense, said little, and simply led the Vanguard Unit through the Teleportation Array straight back to the Central Dynasty.

He left the remaining matters to Yuan Hao to handle, and no longer needed him to waste time here.

After he left, he had someone deliver a message to the Witch: "Leave the Teleportation Array for the Demon Race; the Demon Race can also go out and take a walk, to see the world beyond.

I hope the Demon Race can coexist peacefully with humans."

At the same time, Ye Liuyun issued a proclamation throughout the realm, thanking the Demon Race for their contribution of the Demon-Repelling Stone.

He also emphasized that the Demon Race is part of this world, urging everyone not to discriminate, and even established a Demon Cultivator Academy in the Royal City, inviting some Demon Race Elders to serve as mentors.

Regarding Ye Liuyun's series of actions, the Witch and other Demon Race Elders felt both fear and gratitude toward him.

The fear stems from the fact that if Ye Liuyun discovers a reason to exterminate them, he would not hesitate at all.

When the Death Legion last pressed the border, it was because the strong ones forced them to death; this time, the strong ones who directly drive them to death will certainly not be soft.

The gratitude arises because Ye Liuyun clearly has the power to wipe them out, yet he did not act, and even helped them integrate into this world.
