Chapter 2318: Harvesting a Massive Army
After Ye Liuyun displayed it briefly, he immediately reverted to his original appearance.
"It consumes too much Mysterious Origin; I can only hold out for two or three hours.
If I hide both my realm and aura, I could last a bit longer."
Ye Liuyun said.
Lin Wu told Ye Liuyun, "Just display it then.
We don't normally reveal our aura."
After solving that problem, Lin Wu relaxed completely and sped toward Mist Lotus Island.
"How fast is this Warship?"
Ye Liuyun knew the Warship was fast, but didn't know to what extent.
"It can be ten times faster than Han Mutong's Warship!"
Lin Wu said.
"Aren't you able to forge weapons?
Can you craft a Flying Boat like this?"
Ye Liuyun asked.
Lin Wu replied with some difficulty, "I can't forge a Flying Boat that fast on my own.
At least it requires a smith and a Formation Master to cooperate."
Ye Liuyun immediately summoned Qiong Qi and another captured Formation Master.
"Will they work?"
Ye Liuyun asked.
"If we have time, we can try!"
Lin Wu said.
Ye Liuyun now realized that when both sides' soldiers are evenly matched, equipment becomes the decisive factor for victory.
But their current technologies still lag far behind the opponent's.
If this gap isn't closed, he won't be a match for the Holy Land and lacks the right to negotiate with the Holy Land.
The Flying Boat's speed indeed didn't disappoint Ye Liuyun; they arrived at Mist Lotus Island before the 300,000‑strong army set out.
Mist Lotus Island's Primordial Power was already very weak, having been largely absorbed by those armies.
Thus it could only serve as a temporary garrison for those armies, with no real value to harvest.
The 300,000‑strong army was also preparing to set out.
Ye Liuyun scanned the army and found their strength was generally comparable to the Tiger Shark Corps.
Especially among the two columns, each had cultivated a Super God Realm strongman.
These three armies warmly welcomed their three Super God Realm strongmen, with the Grand Leader, Vice Leader, and the strongmen introducing themselves to each other.
Although the three Super God Realm strongmen were sent by the Iron Curtain, holding Tokens, they couldn't command the troops, only assist them.
So for a while, the three of them had no chance to act, having to wait until boarding the Warship to proceed step by step.
Ye Liuyun and his two companions naturally boarded the Warship that lacked a Super God Realm strongman.
When assigning cabins, Ye Liuyun seized the chance, released a clone, and together they seized control of the Grand Leader, then the Vice Leader and several subordinate Leaders.
Then the clone impersonated the Grand Leader, while Qiong Qi, Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang and others pretended to be guards; they approached other Leaders, claiming urgent matters, and seized another Super God Realm strongman and Leader.
But when Ye Liuyun's group boarded the last Warship, that Super God Realm strongman grew suspicious, bringing a squad of guards that stayed close to their Grand Leader.
Forced, the clone had to annihilate him with a white flash, and simultaneously struck the Grand Leader, planting a Slave Seal on him.
As the guards began to resist, the Grand Leader confirmed to Ye Liuyun that the Super God Realm strongman was a traitor, calming the chaos.
Although there was a minor mishap, it didn't affect their operation.
Later they used this as an excuse to conduct a thorough inspection, temporarily halting departure and having the soldiers disembark to set up camp again.
Under the guise of review, they individually placed Slave Seals on all the various Leaders.
Some Formation Masters, smiths, and Alchemists in the army were also first subdued.
It took nearly half a month, gradually bringing the 300,000‑strong army under control, eventually having them all sign loyalty contracts.
Thus, Ye Liuyun harvested a ready‑made 300,000‑strong army.
He now had three Martial Cultivators of the Super God Realm by his side.
Ye Liuyun felt it was time to stop; the Holy Land had consecutively lost 500,000 troops, making investigation inevitable.
If he acted again, it would likely draw even more armies and strongmen.
Should his identity be exposed, it would bring disaster to Outpost Island and Lookout Island.
Thus, Ye Liuyun extracted the Primordial Power from Mist Lotus Island and had Ye Ling fuse it.
He then transferred the 300,000 army and the Super God Realm strongmen into the Space World, first using a teleport Black Tower to return to the Alien Battlefield on Outpost Island, hiding the army there.
Afterwards he returned to Xuanxing Island, sending Han Mutong's and Sui Fenghu's 200,000 troops back to the Outpost Island Alien Battlefield, then came back to claim Xuanxing Island.
Although these islands vanished, their coordinates remained; Ye Liuyun lay low for now, able to use the teleport Black Tower to return anytime, using this spot as a base to head toward the Holy Land.
After returning to Outpost Island, Ye Liuyun also went back to the Divine Realm's Royal Palace to settle down, waiting for the Space World's fusion.
When Xuanxing Island fully merged with his Space World, he immediately transferred the 500,000 troops and the three Divine Realm strongmen into the Space World to prevent their exposure.
Ye Liuyun guessed correctly; the Iron Curtain had again lost 300,000 troops, forcing a report to the Holy Land Dynasty.
The Holy Land Dynasty was puzzled, not knowing which force possessed such power to annihilate their 500,000 troops.
They immediately dispatched many strongmen aboard Flying Boats to rush to Mist Lotus Island and the surrounding Heavenly Wolf Realm for investigation.
But Mist Lotus Island, lacking Primordial Power, had already collapsed, and the Heavenly Wolf Realm had vanished without a trace.
They broadened the search area but still saw no trace of any large Warships.
After going back and forth for two or three months, they still hadn't found a single clue.
Moreover, they also discovered that Gleaming Star Island had disappeared.
Therefore, many in the Holy Land Dynasty believed it was definitely a Supergod Realm powerhouse who had taken action against them.
Some suspected it was a passing Supergod Realm giant beast, while others suspected it was the work of the Foreign Tribe.
Thus the Holy Land Dynasty had the experts they sent out continue forward to investigate Lookout Island and Outpost Island, but the news that came back was that there was nothing unusual on either island, and even the Foreign Tribe had been driven back by them.
"Driven back the Foreign Tribe?"
The news was transmitted back to the Holy Land Dynasty, and these people all found it unbelievable.
"Yes, they connected the two Dao xu, formed an alliance, then mutually supported, and together drove the Foreign Tribe out."
The investigating Martial Cultivators replied.
And the one receiving them was the alliance leader, Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun told them that he had taken a thousand-person warship to Lookout Island, then linked it with Lookout Island via a Formation, mutually supported, and defeated the Foreign Tribe.
At this time, the reserve troops cultivated by Yu Xiaofeng, as well as the Martial Cultivators on both sides, indeed had the capability to go to war with the Foreign Tribe.
Even Li Yuanlang, Yao Guangyao, Li Xianying, Zhao Hu, Lei Ming, Qiong Qi, and others had already broken through to the Supergod Realm.
