Chapter 2387: Plundering Resources

In this battle, Ye Liuyun did not completely wipe out the Royal Mansion; after swiftly killing Zhenxing Wang, he immediately began looting resources and then withdrew at once.

Therefore, many people remaining inside the Royal Mansion can confirm that Zhenxing Wang was indeed killed.

After eliminating Zhenxing Wang, Ye Liuyun hurried back to Wanwei City and met up with Yuan Hu.

He released his hundred‑thousand troops, leaving only three thousand elite soldiers by his side.

He assigned the other soldiers to Wang Wei to lead, having them recuperate in a mountain range outside the city.

Ye Liuyun also went to Black Kill, turned in a head, and earned points.

The Holy Land Dynasty, through Yuan Hu, sent a large amount of resources to Ye Liuyun as a reward.

Ye Liuyun could be said to have a double harvest.

According to Wang Wei's calculations, the resources Ye Liuyun obtained this time are enough for his hundred‑thousand troops for five years.

Yet Ye Liuyun feels that these resources are far insufficient.

At least they are far fewer than those of the Holy Land Dynasty.

If they fail to form an alliance with the Holy Land Dynasty, then when facing a massive invasion by the Foreign Tribe in the future, resources will be quickly exhausted.

Thus he, accompanied by Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng, rushed again to the Royal City and started doing business with the largest suppliers of medicinal herbs and refining equipment materials.

Since the merchant guilds had been completely robbed, these factions were worried about having no business; Ye Liuyun conveniently filled that gap and began large‑scale purchases.

Moreover, while negotiating business, he also controlled the heads of these factions, keeping the resources firmly in his hands.

Simultaneously, he also recruited large numbers of refiner and alchemist talents, continuously transporting them to Lookout Island and Outpost Island.

The massive number of alchemist and refiner masters greatly elevated the alchemy and equipment‑refining levels of those two worlds.

The transport of various medicinal herbs and raw materials also caused resources to increase rapidly.

All of this greatly boosted the Martial Cultivator strength in those two worlds.

He recruited the alchemists and refiners from the Space World, and Ye Liuyun also had them transmit all their techniques without reservation to the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Space World.

In this way, among those citizens, some reserve talents can be gradually cultivated.

The people around Ye Liuyun also found many resources useful for strengthening themselves among the plundered merchant guild assets, and they rapidly enhanced their power.

Only those like Liang Xue, whose cultivation has reached the Ninth Layer Late Stage, begin to slow down, preparing to cultivate the Tenth Tier.

Monster Beasts that have already broken through to the Celestial Being First Tier also see their cultivation speed slow, and they begin to refine True Essence, placing greater emphasis on cultivating Heaven and Earth Power.

With this directional guidance, everyone's cultivation becomes purposeful.

Tong Xin and others continuously forged many pieces of equipment, serving as preparatory resources for future wars.

During this period, Ye Liuyun and his clone both kept cultivating inside the Xuan Kong Shi, accelerating their breakthrough to the Tenth Tier.

Yuan Hu at this time was also at the former garrison of the Wanwei Marquis, re‑recruiting a hundred‑thousand troops and beginning reorganization and training.

The Holy Land Dynasty also directly sent a new Prince, Zhi Yang Wang, to Zhenxing City.

The missing marquis titles and army commanders in other regions were all appointed by the new Prince Zhi Yang Wang.

The damaged order across the regions also began to gradually recover.

Prince Zhi Yang Wang, with keen insight, deployed Yuan Hu to the Royal City for garrison, making him the Grand Commander of Zhi Yang Wang's domain, overseeing a million‑strong army.

Yuan Hu seized the opportunity to also conscript Ye Liuyun's hundred‑thousand troops into the main army, placing them under Yuan Hu's direct command.

At Ye Liuyun's suggestion, Yuan Hu also conducted drills with the million‑strong army.

The main purpose was that Ye Liuyun wanted to see how such a large‑scale battle should be commanded.

Although Ye Liuyun has also led many troops, for this massive battle he still wishes to learn deployment and command from Yuan Hu.

After the drill, Yuan Hu began adjusting the army, kicking out several uncooperative commanders from the forces.

The soldiers also underwent reorganization, with three hundred thousand elite troops transferred to Ye Liuyun's Warrior Corps.

This effectively redirected to boost Ye Liuyun's manpower.

Afterwards, Yuan Hu finally dispersed the remaining army to garrison various locations.

After nearly several months of turmoil, the local situation finally stabilized completely.

Every day, besides cultivating, Ye Liuyun goes to complete some Black Kill missions.

Moreover, the missions he accepts often involve cross‑regional tasks.

As long as the points are enticing enough, he will go back and try to act.

And now, with three thousand elite troops at his side, as long as the mission does not involve directly attacking princely mansions, it can be easily completed, so his rank quickly rose again to level four.

His cultivation realm finally shows signs of breakthrough.

During this period, he completely avoided taking any pills that enhance Mysterious Origin, relying solely on natural spiritual energy for improvement.

Thus the Divine Crystals were naturally consumed in large amounts.

Fortunately, with Ye Ling present, his Divine Crystals are not lacking at all, and they increase the more he uses them.

However, because he also has to spend Divine Crystals to stockpile large quantities of medicinal herbs and raw materials, the Divine Crystals he looted are also quickly depleted.

Just then, Qiong Qi sent a message to Ye Liuyun.

"I've found several Divine Crystal Veins; are you interested?"

Qiong Qi asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun knows that the Holy Land's Divine Crystal Veins are all owned by the Holy Land Dynasty.

So he directly asked Qiong Qi: "How many soldiers are guarding?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

Qiong Qi replied.

"That many! Better to give up; the soldiers guarding the vein are generally the Holy Land Dynasty's elite army."

Ye Liuyun thought that to deal with those two hundred thousand defenders, he would need to bring at least two hundred thousand troops himself.

"However, there are fifteen veins, and they also contain vein essence!"

Qiong Qi again tempted Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun felt somewhat tempted, but still asked, "Where is it?"

"Hehe, the location is superb, outside the territories of ten Princes!"

Qiong Qi laughed.

"Where is that?"

Ye Liuyun still didn't know such a place existed.

"You're rather ignorant, aren't you?"

Qiong Qi laughed and began to explain to Ye Liuyun.

"In the Southern Region of the Holy Land Dynasty, there is a vast expanse of ocean, with many sea beasts in the sea."

"On one of these Dao xu, 200,000 troops are stationed, guarding fifteen Mineral Veins."

"I wandered there idly, and afterwards I heard it from the local fishermen."

"I then captured a soldier to verify the information."

"The news is indeed true."

"But why would they bury the Mineral Veins on this Xiao dao?"

"If there were a Teleportation Array on the island, wouldn't they immediately summon reinforcements?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"As for why, I'm not clear either, so I wanted you to come investigate with me."

"Once we can infiltrate, what's there to fear about a Teleportation Array? We just need to destroy it."

"That Xiao dao is far from the mainland, isn't it?"

"Without the Teleportation Array, their reinforcements couldn't arrive even in half a month."

"We have enough time to mine the Mineral Veins."

Qiong Qi again tempted Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment; he also truly needed Divine Crystal now.

"As long as we can cut off their reinforcements, those 200,000 garrison troops are actually not difficult to deal with, and we might even capture many prisoners."
