Chapter 2278: Sowing Discord

Ye Liuyun and the others were also discussing strategies.

Forming a unified allied army does indeed present many problems.

Since both sides have their own concerns, what if we establish a teleportation channel so that, when facing Foreign Tribe attacks, each can send reinforcements?

Ye Liuyun proposed a somewhat loose alliance method.

Then, regarding the resources needed for dispatching troops, who will provide them?

If we provide them ourselves, there will be no motivation to dispatch troops.

If the other side provides them, giving too little would be a loss, giving too much means no one wants to request aid.

When the time comes that they have to ask for aid, they may not be able to pay that many resources themselves!

Yuan Hao raised his own question.

In my view, directly subduing them would solve all the problems!

Qiong Qi said directly.

If we eliminate all their strong ones, what use would they have left?

Mo Tianheng immediately opposed Qiong Qi's suggestion.

Ye Liuyun also got a headache from everyone's differing opinions.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

He asked the group, "If these three dynasties are part of our world, what should we do?"

"What does that mean?"

Zhao Hu asked, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun explained, "It means we don't treat them as a separate world.

Rather, we consider them as part of one world.

Just as we are the Central Region of the Divine Realm and they are the Western Region, separated by an endless sea that is hard to cross."

Ye Liuyun's idea simplified their line of thinking for solving the problem considerably.

The others also had an epiphany, feeling that considering the issue with this perspective made it much simpler.

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized, "With this thinking, we have no immediate need to take up arms now.

Our current relationship is like two unrelated regions, each busy with its own affairs, without forming a combined force.

We are neither enemies nor allies.

Therefore our strategy should first strengthen mutual understanding, increase trust through resource and Martial Cultivator exchanges.

As for battlefield reinforcements, both sides can hold out for now; when needed, we can discuss again based on the situation then."

"What about the Cui Yuan Liquid..." Qiong Qi was still thinking of the resources here.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "We propose that both sides open a teleportation channel to allow Martial Cultivators and resources to flow.

Whoever is interested in the resources can go by their own ability!"

"So it's up to individual ability to fight for oneself?"

Qiong Qi confirmed.

"Exactly!"

Ye Liuyun also stated clearly.

"In that case, some of our resources will also face pressure from being seized by others."

Yuan Hao said anxiously.

"Of course, it's reciprocal! It depends on our ability to guard the resources.

I think we are a unified dynasty, while they are three separate dynasties, so we have a greater advantage in troop deployment and Martial Cultivator mobilization."

The group discussed again for a while and all agreed with Ye Liuyun's proposal.

Ye Liuyun immediately sought out Man Feng and the other two Leaders, presented his suggestion, and then waited for their dynasties' replies.

But after waiting left and right, he still didn't receive their confirmation.

During that time, Ye Liuyun proactively asked Man Feng and the others, and the reply was that the dynasties were still discussing and had no result yet.

Meanwhile, Lin Luoyi's medicine test had already yielded results.

Lin Luoyi had only one Yuan Pill, so her realm rose noticeably, directly breaking from the Eighth Tier Early Stage to the Ninth Layer Early Stage, crossing a major realm.

Her Physical Body strength also saw a clear increase.

The facts proved that the Cui Yuan Liquid's medicinal effect was very evident.

Ye Liuyun did not publish the results, but already had his own plan in mind.

Since the three dynasties cannot reach a unified opinion, it shows there are many contradictions among them.

Then he can exploit the internal conflicts between them.

He plans to first use profit incentives to win the support of one dynasty.

This is both a sowing of discord and a model-setting operation.

When he voiced this idea, it received unanimous approval from the group.

"We should also put some pressure on them, otherwise they'll keep dragging on!"

Qiong Qi said.

He even suggested first carrying out their plan, seeking resources in a personal capacity.

"Others can leave, but you cannot."

If we ever need to set up a Teleportation Array, we would still need you!"

Ye Liuyun, however, would not let Qiong Qi go, leaving him extremely frustrated.

But for the sake of the grand alliance plan, he could only endure temporarily.

Ye Liuyun also said: "It's not just you; once the others leave, they'll also be discovered by the Allied Forces."

"We are not in a hurry at this moment."

"After we finish crafting the energy‑conversion artifact and exchange the next batch of supplies, we will feign departure and then slip back quietly."

Then, Ye Liuyun also sent a clone wearing the Invisibility Cloak far from the camp to find a suitable spot, record its coordinates, so they can return again via the Black Tower teleport.

Qiong Qi also went first to assist Tong Xin in researching the energy‑conversion artifact to speed up progress.

The fights with the Foreign Tribe are still ongoing, and small skirmishes occur frequently.

The Allied Forces here dare not launch large‑scale attacks proactively; the three dynasties also forbid them from taking the initiative, so they can only defend passively.

Scattered battles are dominated by Martial Cultivators, and after a Martial Cultivator fights, they need to replenish pills and weapons and other resources.

Thus, the pills and weapons Ye Liuyun previously sold to the merchant guild became very popular, quickly spreading among the Allied Forces; everyone said a nearby guild had brought in a batch of high‑end goods—prices a bit higher, but the quality especially good.

Many Martial Cultivators also purchased timber, returned to build dwellings, and the results were good; the houses were very sturdy.

When Man Feng heard this news, he immediately ordered soldiers to investigate and even bought some samples back.

"Take a look at these pills and weapons—can we make these?"

"And this kind of timber—do we have trees this massive here?"

Man Feng asked Song Tianyang and Gong Lei skeptically.

"Ninth Rank Mid‑Grade pills and weapons—our Alchemist and weapon master might be able to forge such quality, but with such quantity it would require a long time of preparation and forging.

As for this timber, it could also be that someone brought it out from a Secret Realm.

But it definitely wasn't produced here!"

Song Tianyang confirmed.

"You're doubting that these items were sold by Ye Liuyun's group?"

Gong Lei asked.

Man Feng confirmed: "I think it's very likely! Isn't it suspicious that such a large amount of premium pills and weapons, along with unknown timber, appear simultaneously?"

"When did they send someone to make the trade?

Our people have been monitoring them all along, haven't they?"

Song Tianyang asked, puzzled.

"They must have a way to evade surveillance! Gong Lei, this merchant guild belongs to your Xing Jin Dynasty; I think you need to report to the dynasty, have them investigate the origin of these resources, the traders' backgrounds, and exactly what was exchanged."

Man Feng suggested this to Gong Lei.
